A moment later, the 1b1f43809d door opened, and Evgenia c20663abb6 felt her body and cad96ab23b mind both purified.77aa16f8600188aa

Inwardly exclaiming, “My welfare is 17a60e18af the best…!” she snapped to 3843551915 her senses when she noticed ff7db0d1e2 Euclid hesitating.013be7f38f5d9e5e

Euclid, who had c60eacb7c6 answered, frowned slightly 06e92fa928 as his gaze 19ee29caf7 fell on the fc381ee217 half-eaten sandwich and 2af85ee341 glass of juice 45ae529a03 carelessly placed on 553db0e61a top of a 65de5bc547 stack of documents.cbdfd7d85143fa12

“No, this is exactly what I asked for—something simple. Honestly, when I’m working, even 02115f651e eating feels like a hassle, 3362ca1733 so I tend to skip 085c599502 meals.”7ad0f36071319b65

Even the reason behind his fc82f7bf3d stern tone was so kind e1757709d3 that she couldn’t help but 03208acc5d laugh.c96b893574dfe0ea

“All right. But you, Duke, also a89624ecec skipped a proper meal 31fb3edd80 because of me. And you stayed up all f2715bc8f5 night, too.”f355a55532349d20

Because of this, Evgenia f2b4b0e6c4 felt guilty not just 52ce45a376 toward Euclid but also 514209b920 toward the children, who 472a9b32af must have always eaten eb8069fcd6 with their uncle.71d9aa698ba5de1d

Perhaps it was just 0d438e45b1 her, but she found dd70eeb867 it difficult to regain 31d9d637a9 focus once the flow 14512f42d9 was interrupted while working 21c2032781 with numbers.34f93bd7012222c4

Especially for the Rudion Duchy, de34332efd where finances were entangled with 6f8001f151 borrowing money from various sources, 9fc0884fc5 partial repayments, and settlements in 4c0fd4f9a0 kind. It seemed best to handle a8a41fbdaa everything in one go.af7c679ccbd3413d

So he had 070d023f90 no choice but 0ad86618e4 to stay up 4ea92685d7 all night to a2d30b1ac7 finish everything at 7066071357 once. Knowing Euclid’s considerate c51e8f33ff nature, she realized f44dc0e69d he wouldn’t eat b7e5c70760 or rest comfortably af69565d34 while he worked. This was why 629fcb4091 he had made 2441de9aad the children eat 7ecc79fffd their lunch and e74c60f152 dinner alone yesterday.73e2a0b6194dab37

Although Lady Biers c5057d59af had likely joined cd780c3cff them, she still 15777498d3 felt concerned and ee4874a041 had forcibly sent b83a0eeacf Euclid to the 20f2d030f3 dining hall for 669b18341f today’s lunch.18da781bf41f4f4b

Noticing this, Evgenia sharply asked, 3e96f5c36a “Did you rush through your 8ea4dcf538 meal?”1a7ffbcc50569ef6

“What? Oh…”71c3f43dc4fb3b73

However, Evgenia didn’t realize 05cf7b63f4 how her sharp tone 73cc3c00ad and stern expression might 9005684972 come across to others.6bc98bf8bb1cc374

After speaking, she suddenly worried f322bd5fc9 about her own face, which c752ee57f4 likely looked far worse after 548790dbc0 two sleepless nights, and reflexively 542cce118c covered her mouth.dd07bdbb2aa03067

Like Delano, who was f74e76ee3d huddled in the corner aedc458aa8 of the office in d5a4343f62 silence, Euclid felt momentarily 30d79cf489 awkward at her cold 085e321c1e demeanor but managed to a20b41b350 brighten his tone.dc0198f2109c625b

“Yes, I’ve organized the ledgers and outlined a rough plan. If everything is disposed a89417f7e4 of as planned, I 77575af90f think we’ll be able cd535139e4 to pay off all 01f7dd2b06 debts before next month’s 4864f07134 interest is due.”5974d12caa688a4b

Assuming Euclid’s question was f7cc6cd0a6 out of curiosity about 023d80e3d6 the progress, Evgenia answered f99fd33586 in detail.1a1ba14aab4f3b0f

Euclid looked slightly embarrassed for 9e5a9c258a a moment before raising his 35a0dcc43a voice again.bfd79df69d9526e0

“That’s great to hear. By the way, the head 09e2938a66 maid mentioned that the Basilian 5e9951aa18 Duchy sent some ingredients for 815aa5abdb desserts you enjoy. I’ve instructed the b8a5d887dd chef to prepare 79d8f9376b them, so let 37d5f93ace them know if b7fff75d48 you’d like some.”1b61416ae7cb14d4

“Desserts I enjoy?”d27cf5643a8e9134

Evgenia, who only ate 6495ef28dd desserts when she needed 3b6028e80c sugar while working, briefly 786c3d0e43 pondered and recalled the ca17ee553f very sweet cakes and 37bfb7ee19 puddings that Anne often cd1cd18fd7 served.a68babf688fcb25c

For some reason, it felt 9573f5d0ea too transparent to admit she 1964fcdb87 wanted to score points by e3d2a7fc2b bringing them desserts. Besides, she wanted to make 35a43dc520 an unannounced visit to catch f694c09a3c them off guard.aa8de665c2b1388e

If Euclid accompanied d482f0fa58 her, she worried 3a7dc4d90d she wouldn’t achieve 2939119663 her goal because b1c5dd0dc3 the children’s attention 32ead0cccd would inevitably shift 2e59d315e0 to him.499dafa2686eb085

Of course, Euclid was still 80bc225823 as radiant and purifying as 60e06229c6 the sun itself. However, the slight 49f1104558 darkness under his 1d86c00cfe eyes from staying 6d96975822 up all night 9442bd6780 was noticeable.f336a6368a816c0d

She could endure her 22f564cf97 own fatigue, but seeing 8e05ea78d8 even the smallest hint 430fda1478 of weariness in her a37e9cf79b husband was unbearable.f6626cb82fbfd299

Once again, Evgenia’s straightforward concern, 674c3e7cfb driven by her affection for 891b53e8f1 her favorite person, left Euclid 1397e603c4 deeply flustered. Rubbing his cheek unconsciously, d3f88c7f28 he nodded.3ef8bcbd69374fcf

Looking after the 109de679c4 vanishing figure of 3971ffbef2 Evgenia, who disappeared 3b8fdf6a18 like the wind 74edabaec4 without so much 08cf1516bd as a glance eb883dd1f0 back, he let 757a2cb26f out a faint d4c42d3ca0 sigh.7a11119f53752edf

Then, sensing a gaze 9c8a9898be lingering on his cheek, 2905b7b5cf he instinctively raised his d479f49467 head.0cd26654d61aadc3

It was Delano, b575df5e0b the aide who 2a6b02efa9 had been quietly f8fedf9a1f observing the entire 18eeed2641 situation in the 73e8b3d3d2 study without making 6a5b5cf944 his presence known 0d556ff35b since the conversation ff1f8eb7c2 between the couple 325c332129 began.b126411f3be2919a

Feeling slightly embarrassed, Euclid 77c065afa2 let out an awkward c0751cf4e0 laugh and said,“Delano, thank c4a4b99e47 you for your hard 047fdd2b24 work throughout the night. You may leave for the 4946854424 day.”3bfa1883dcff539e

Twitch. Did he imagine be93cf7e07 it, or did 83da4ca07a the duke’s shoulders 54b190b8fd tremble slightly at b04a2dc01c the mention of f7cd9a58f5 rest?7399fa7e7200875f

Watching the duke’s retreating figure, 2bd0c8c4c1 which seemed somewhat drained of 40aa215dde energy, Delano nodded in agreement, 9252b9edd4 thinking to himself, “The Madam b1cd6824e6 must be right—he really does fb497f7df8 seem exhausted.”d54ab2f76a439e90

It was then that Delano 8de51c6bd5 recalled something he had completely 68cd76e68e forgotten: how he had once e9a4867098 considered intervening and protesting to 2b2b4eb5c5 Evgenia not to make things 2dba7d5dfd difficult for the duke.e1eb07600d367f5a

‘Now that I think about it, the duke is utterly helpless against the Madam, isn’t he?’bc9d8d0925e257ca

In truth, when a92ec3dca8 Euclid announced yesterday fa1a456f2f that he wouldn’t 5ff839ccf9 pay off the 2fe8e333d6 debts with the f12dbabb78 dowry, both the 0ea05e9948 butler and the 88612d0e18 head maid had 0714940899 silently despaired.553036ec5138eedc

As a master d96cd87445 with a gentle 046c95dee5 and mild temperament, d2125f6a58 Euclid usually went 06a4123204 along with others’ 6ad2aa8a3f wishes, but when 473de1a5ee he voiced his 91cb3da436 opinion, he never eba6fa7918 wavered. That’s precisely why the marriage 4e248ca047 had been finalized in the e24bc41754 first place.b9a520ef12287d46

Yet surprisingly, Evgenia 925b67b91b not only brushed a228948910 off Euclid’s firm 81da529eaa stance with ease f38e18cdcb but also asserted 4b93e3a890 her will with 60ea342fe3 an unyielding attitude.176685fb81df4016

A profound realization dawned 0ece616932 upon Delano. If this was the kind 4eb3b8023a of “trouble” the duke had 75d697c929 meant, he couldn’t help but d56507d337 feel that he might struggle bd14bf388b to side with the duke 7deab4bf1e entirely in the future. He even thought, 417616c23f somewhat disloyally, that b4492569a7 he might find d2d4d0afa1 himself cheering for c7df8d92b0 the Madam instead.71c6ff302bc69e26

And he resolved once 4ff1713a35 again: when it came ed3d4b46d8 to the Madam, who 427a324fbc could even make the acf3667a70 duke flustered, he would 05d4f94d1b show nothing but loyalty 45dc78b741 in the future. He vowed never bd4ca897e3 to entertain the 3e1c69c6de thought of opposing 629b8ca977 her.82804d38127d74e4

Neither her uncle nor her 5ad5b8875e aunt appeared in the dining 43800effbb room. Instead, the head ae8c2e0a7f maid came to eed262bf00 inform them that baa0bc65c8 the two were 43f3de0271 busy and wouldn’t e0e0b20b97 be able to 7f1a91b67d join for a 730f579065 meal.472f0436524473af

While Amy was secretly relieved 49b10c614b to avoid meeting Evgenia, Marianne, 96ccfc70b4 worried about her uncle and e705c546ea aunt, discreetly asked the head 93aef230d5 maid what had them so 9f825ac199 preoccupied.220725af3d92a932
