I wanted to reward the 22ef2be16c children for staying strong and c141efc0d4 well-behaved despite the emotional hardships 09b281ed25 they faced because of their b0d6bfc531 parents.689cf1add93886be

Especially since they were 4050e028c8 children of the duke’s 00e98361a6 family, who should have b52e5549e9 grown up in abundance. Yet they endured their difficult 8a1e9086ba circumstances and refrained from asking 26dde7d460 for what they wanted.a0f163bb641e0417

Of course, I 41667afaa0 knew Euclid had 9e6bd2503a done his best, e859d358cb but the problem ef87830535 was that Marianne a3fb5e4e75 and Dior were 371023c5b7 just too kind f7c27085c3 and mature for 96fdb9c0b4 their age.5f87ac76b7fab37c

Despite the duchy’s recent dee1183375 financial improvement and material 1a4d85c6c6 abundance, the children had 4e3bf223e1 never once asked for 5a3bdc4c11 anything first.4645b6bb001160fc

On the contrary, 77918b7ebe they looked at a8b48c02b7 me with anxious e6d14e1e46 eyes, wondering if 3adc49373a we were buying 11246cef4f too much.788336ffe700094c

As if they didn’t want 54fca8e335 to be the only ones 3160e88306 caught up in this, the d105fab1df children urged Euclid to mimic fc9b870126 the phrase I had taught 5c9039ac60 them.4372deaef0afe710

Watching them made bf3f015a11 my lips itch.c30b3eb37471b6b2

I wanted to say 4285dadaa1 that, technically, I owned 2137b434dc almost the entire Centeroze 49050eda4b Street and there was 82e579e3c3 no need to feel ec6493cfb6 burdened at all.7dd24d152d546a11

That’s right. Most of the land and 5c42805963 shops on Centeroze Street, one a19bec0753 of the Empire’s busiest districts, c60b55158c were owned by Evgenia.6e275511299545b0

I had thought ee318b413a of asking Anne 00a5f83535 for recommendations on a12a9212a0 how to spend 4ca98512a9 time in the 296d7b8f86 capital, but then 80be331121 I recalled the 2dd5572f50 contents of a 6da8039b76 financial report I d1265daad9 reviewed earlier and 0d3e6bd443 decided to visit f5b863ad3f here.1262bb612d4c6495

Honestly, I was dfd8f7b261 curious how Evgenia, 46bd5561f1 no matter how cf9c26ea86 wealthy and capable 20baafbca1 she was, could a394882dba own such prime 5ef5a78ae5 land and buildings 1a0d20c611 in the capital.f8aff550431b3d31

So I casually mentioned ae72cfbd09 that I’d be visiting ce2dcc5e28 the area, and her 91dc9c665b response was unexpected.681be8dbbde5b05d

— Centerhoz Street is still amazing to think about. Just ten years ago, it d77a075086 was one of the most f1b348f4cb ordinary streets, but who would’ve a259ac664b imagined it would flourish like d58a088e4b this right after Madam bought 097ae4dc7b the land?e48358c48b8bdd86
