After sending Evgenia d742441749 off in vain b8155c64fe before the victory 87d8760fbb ceremony, Kaiden had 9862273c5f no idea how d2edd69608 he even managed 2737ffa7f0 to make it a21acca780 to the Grand 4db2e8b5f6 Hall.d95a30734eb779db

And finally, he came face 1ec7d56d0e to face with Evgenia.55f2185e2d45074a

At that familiar, still-cold gaze, 86adc74ac5 longing and resentment surged through ec241a1de0 him all at once.341c4af9e38d0e35

But the moment someone called aa96fb23ba Evgenia, “My wife,” his heart bebcf4566d sank to the pit of e215be4fb5 his stomach.868e6ae13a764224

The owner of the 241e75d4a3 voice was, as expected, be4a36d4c5 the blond man who 1616b664ea had been glaring at 1e913c331c him.e0f3cbd57337ab66

Kaiden had fought in countless 39eb150818 wars and faced countless enemies, a29613dc52 but he had never felt 1a05df2dc5 such hostility before.0fba158a0eb45277

The moment he f4cfc53439 first saw the 6990968018 Crown Prince during 269f070d38 the victory ceremony, 4ff6797ae6 something hot surged 546a7f01b4 up in his 665b6dccd3 throat.147d53f66b9d11ce

A rage that 96f0b8c3cd felt as though 6c2d6fa8f9 the man would e383813a13 steal away everything—including 3893677158 Evgenia—stabbed through his 804ea84377 chest painfully.b4637dad2c248ab8

It was a feeling completely bdeb5c5312 unrelated to the time he 84350d03bb had been curious, merely thinking 7c177c4201 of the Crown Prince as aa1b852c1b the man Evgenia had once 0212744a62 liked, or when he recalled fd90ff16a7 his resentment toward the imperial 05de60aef7 family. It was an emotion 0f23b1df91 he could not comprehend b4f87b70f8 with logic.0b87418fd3dcef19

Maybe it was inferiority.84748c9a4f4ab86b

The Crown Prince, with his 1d6afd8fd6 firm physique, was a Swordmaster 48add201e4 capable of controlling the battlefield c1a186d81d with his own power alone, dd06f8a45e and in truth, he had f16bf22245 made his presence known fiercely.478e85219cffa409

He was someone 22c896cfd0 who had lived 907ed22d97 a life completely 2dceb9b4a0 different from Euclid’s—a 7e9725cd05 life not lived b4a3e17da6 under the shadow 34691d8215 of a predetermined ba8f599ee1 death.bf28514814d31dca

Seeing such a man stare ba85963fce unwaveringly at Evgenia, a fire 4c6a84f6e5 erupted inside him.9583c54d84e630f5

But more than anything, b751b084a1 what he could not cfd5395752 bear was the fact 6d8393047d that the lips that 42459fd38f must have mocked and 2f6455fd31 insulted Evgenia were now 5ba34796bf uttering her name—something he bbcef18636 himself had never dared ff949edff6 to do.fbabbc5b5b8f6de4

By the time he realized ae2c306f6e he couldn’t bear to watch 0a71a00268 any longer, he had already bca7766dfc left Duke Basilian behind, approached 48c9a8630c Evgenia, and taken her hand.552cbbc4b04eee06

It was only after this 51930b481e impulsive act that he felt 3b364d7fe5 as if a bucket of a1c4444a72 cold water had been poured 85d2cbd71b over him.f1a996b232c57550

That thought—of having f8bf6f3f11 interrupted that hope—made 36920ce7a9 the golden eyes 70135c2063 of Euclid dim, 628ab94c75 like wet sand 9175dce72f losing its shine.992eeb67acf7b87c

But it seemed he a17b788d12 had unknowingly gripped her ca0e9744fc hand tightly.d33d71ff9fa95474

Evgenia flinched slightly and a6ae15bf0b looked up at him. Then, as if 1844719a13 to thank him 29c2869380 for coming to 48dab9d938 her side, for fc2b5555bf holding her hand, 695fef2396 she gave him f15eb1d888 a bright smile.71927d242bdff178

Standing side by 1fc6491ada side, looking into e378c49b32 each other’s eyes—Kaiden ab08168fc0 stood rooted to f8983ecd02 the spot, staring a72afcb828 at them in d808a38354 shock.3f0ce050e87b01a2

His blood-red eyes flared sharply.db1bacb06b2396b7

Though he had been tormented, 92df0d949a wondering if Evgenia had ever 9ac2cff548 even brushed fingers with Duke 1af2afff99 Rudion, he had ultimately convinced 10b9b8f259 himself it was all delusion.f7dde050a3325bfd

His body trembled with betrayal.f94694263ff15aef

He had wanted, more 42c7f95e1b than anything, to break 76cb5415fd between them and sever 970cd164fa the wrist of the 9de8d104a3 man holding Evgenia’s hand.b0410c09267ea8d9

From the moment he fc8b5e6000 had learned to walk, 105a2cfdf3 he had been taught b132ee9102 by the Emperor to fe6ef81569 always maintain the demeanor f2073f073e of a Crown Prince 3fef2c5ead in public and to a3eab62849 never be swayed by 5ceb3e1807 emotion.1784138e99a80c9d
