“That’s not it either. There’s no way I’d harbor 1ada9a9f05 feelings for someone else while ec8cf9073c getting married…”e9c68d65432c3fa8

Euclid, who had been speaking 8c0ae1112e as if deeply wronged, suddenly df3f745450 paused, seemingly caught off guard 5aac7bc963 by such questioning. He glanced at me, as bf39ac0c7a if trying to gauge my ff39a8a9fd reaction.204e07d9ae6d7661

Though it might not 0b91bea216 sound convincing coming from f4f347a24b someone who had been 98b7a5f1af so persistent in pursuing dba38c66da and obsessing over the 97fd7384ee Crown Prince until recently, 817b624b32 I didn’t want Euclid 768c1a7948 to misunderstand me any 6d4f3bce99 further.93002a96a9349821

His voice was 4402a6091b the firmest I c3e1d864e4 had ever heard, 2b3e8bd954 and the icy 7d5dbe7ac6 stiffness in my a5adceb54e heart melted away 2b4789b2bc on its own.2ecadc76672b98aa

If anything, Euclid looked 2fbd7ff15c more surprised than I b5a578e34c was. His eyes widened slightly 5c7c365d8c as he stared at 0df6308288 me intently. Then, he slowly said,68151804f74ca572

Feeling like the 13032f5609 protagonist of a 818192e297 fairytale, I listened e4f78753c4 contentedly and turned 60ed162cbf to gaze at 4a02653e70 Euclid with a c6beab40ad goofy smile.739611a66a548969

Startled, I quickly e3d54de2ff covered my mouth 735088c3c3 and lowered my febda1ded5 head again, relieved 4e634bcb76 to see that 2a6b7b4a29 Euclid was sound 00a0bf10a2 asleep, not even 7b0a46b53c stirring.bfa1fb43405d6674
