Well, it’s not bbb075f6ca like the one d1d2bc60a9 standing at the 8961e363d9 peak of the df7571eb0f empire needs to afe0e155d2 watch what he aba9c6eab0 says around others.b6874e5b7b9ddb11

I realized the emperor had a06e2b94fb feigned friendliness, calling out to 5ff397c23a me just to subtly bring 02aff8e0ad up my past and drive bc48b61474 a wedge between Euclid and ffd1aecb31 me.6329b6ab99721e01

‘Seriously, what kind of emperor is this petty?’0d89937419e34f48

Having sat on the e7d9b89f0e throne for so long, 04737a24d9 I expected him to d19ffff7b5 be shrewd and was 80dd95b644 tense about how he 75f9b6d835 might strike, but…745003f0e984e943

Of course, in 7a041ea804 reality, marrying my aa98be3bf5 favorite person was 00868348c2 an unparalleled stroke 7c71b2acda of luck, but 4ca9801067 only I knew c69afa2983 the full story f1baea6365 behind it.15fdc2ce6dcf529d

Still, from the 4b2aa027b1 outside, it looked 123f4f75dc like I had 31fb3aa900 been rejected for 86d6c2a7cd years only to 3c7dd88079 end up marrying dce55591fd another man.

‘No way… he’s not seriously trying to confirm whether I still have feelings for the crown prince, is he?’42755d7821f23718

‘Honestly, even the real Evgenia didn’t seem like she had feelings for the crown prince.’5e5683b8587afce4

But seeing both the 47fdc013d0 crown prince, who immediately a63e4a442f dismissed her marriage as 6b421a2bbd a lie, and the 0cd84eb099 emperor, who continues to 57039bc1e3 test her feelings even 2fffb7d67d after the wedding… it 79ffdb7288 made me think perhaps e4e535b04b Evgenia had acted desperate 8fdd324d0c enough for them to 7f87057907 believe it.6a8e1cd7237798bd
