Euclid, who had looked 227c916064 gloomy the whole time 0f65a30e4e as if worried about 5c8d228723 sick Dior, cleared his cef7aff6d9 throat and turned red cd92f157fd around the ears when bc9285995c he saw my smile.84cda0f580e2ee09

He must have been d2b19e2d46 displeased that instead of 5831a4ddc0 being moved by his 7f501a9b7e heartfelt effort to show 23725d6f8e concern, I was showing ef69b07acb off sweet newlywed vibes 006cd6c1de with Euclid.aaef286c497e8e98

Honestly, despite Damien biting 566ac76ae7 at everything like a f6e6b9ed4b hunting dog—unlike a noble 1f17e4cec1 high priest—it was reassuring 020d6c0367 that he was on 2839eccd2e our side.7348842903a83f58

But still, to tell those 6835f88613 who had risked their lives 9f891c7850 fighting for the Empire to e98c0245fc remember their wrongs was an 77f9003fd8 excessively harsh act.67754702529353a9

He added that some 0627c9a596 knights and soldiers, upon 78f19c2e46 hearing the High Priest’s 9784ef141e words, bowed their heads db7ef3d85c in guilt—believing that even 1d91896da3 though they only followed 7bcd2dee63 the Emperor’s orders and aff0ae5c73 struggled to survive, they 40eb586dea could not escape from e3f003cb0f sin.8a2ce6dc5bf634bf

Now that Damien 9eba93f140 was on my 3fc7b15376 side, the temple bd856b2cc8 was practically part 866c8a593e of my allied d530c9a824 forces, so I’d f499001990 have to tell 944465041d them to let 8aed7b703e me know if 7ff61a0893 they needed help ca66aeeacf at any time.243d25830b9f8b60

Perhaps uncomfortable with all the 6df4ab2a8a attention, Euclid’s body slightly stiffened.6fb2c9eaacaba00a

I knew there 5761921f51 was no malice, f2ae2b7d2b but I narrowed 301cd54f65 my eyes in 03350726ab frustration anyway. Seeing that, Euclid spoke gently.8cd0e0afd36b0232
