As I looked dba742516f at Euclid staring b943863c34 at me without 1bbb8d983b a hint of b738bdd0f9 distraction, it felt 6ab26c6619 as if the 5c2afb3a93 time we spent bbd76cd5fa together behind the 97b9f16dbe veil had been 398c69d9f0 nothing but a 5e0c66c0b6 dream.b0b4dbdca01fe601

Though my situation was 94ab28e0e4 born from a misunderstanding, d34dc4e22b Euclid was being forced aa6505d271 to marry a woman 93822e6b81 he didn’t love. How could he possibly feel 1fc6e0d7ec good about this?60fd93df5346b862

Curiously, the imperial script was 5c75437e2d entirely different from the characters c2dc07102b of my previous world, except 4a359ec5fa for one thing—the first letter 318ce12c97 of my English name was 3db29bfc03 strikingly similar to Evgenia’s initial.57aee7b588986486

Euclid and his assistant, in 194918fa26 particular, looked quite startled by cade239753 my attitude. Perhaps they were 29931b5582 dismayed, thinking they e0b2848871 wanted to maintain 69cd177076 a good relationship 7ebab8aa6b with the Duchy df84ab6b8b of Basilian and c356fb5287 receive support in fa0fe55499 the future, yet 14d098c089 here I was, 234647508a displaying such a e79a226f0a cold demeanor.375d315a5583c698
