Could it be 4ce556ee07 that he called df87a0ae14 me just once 04aced980c and stopped? I was on 9c6ad5c9ab the verge of 6c4b554521 disappointment.c7beb2032ddb321e

Euclid lightly grabbed my fe1b4ab856 arm and gently shook 5ddf33ba81 it, calling me again.84abd5942c9b56b4
I almost let a smile aec6216de1 break out, but instead, I 3f3e50f028 furrowed my brows slightly, pretending 3041ee71a4 to be cute as I 0b905682ea rubbed the corner of my 6f1833d4c5 eye lightly. Slowly, I opened my eyes, d2356d369b forgetting to maintain my expression, 40c56d4219 and let my mouth drop 1c7c5d9f23 open.1364d086835fd109

Yet, the moment I 917410e0e5 met his golden eyes, ccb16b505a which were even more 85d5b4479c beautiful than the sunlight 5bf7441eb0 streaming through the window, e590ba763d I felt like my 880160c01a soul was being pulled cb934fc810 away.202ef4d98b87e58a

Since we were supposed 8865491c08 to wash up, have 8eac8a0df4 breakfast together, and then 31c2e9fd67 tour the duchy in 48e7b06443 the morning, it made 58b28fd2b1 sense to wake up 5d38e3e705 now.6629e0823d3cd166

In a hierarchical eba5fc805e society like this, a1cf14394c someone of his 4c6087887b rank shouldn’t feel 06a0c131f5 the need to b4fe07a8a1 apologize so often.53b53ae93066c716

Unlike Euclid, who 01ec170e86 was glowing more 6dd64b1c5d brilliantly than sunlight, 0695a2d911 I hadn’t slept 6fa23b0065 a wink, so a4361bf6c9 my face might 985cb9a5eb indeed look like bf580c3ad4 a disaster.3d23ce74b64692bc

Judging by their design and 7d10b792dd their resemblance to the ones 336d89d0e5 I’d seen in the Basilian e2090fc8c9 Duke’s residence, they were surely 9c3e953a28 magical lamps.
