    Tria, the Viscount who 6ab660aed7 always prided himself on 2ce936b2d8 being a loyal subject, e090e798d6 had never taken a 41b6183dd1 liking to Evgenia. Even as he b3766c9da3 sensed the strange 6849e25656 atmosphere, he asked 7e034c9e87 with a displeased a0dc6b5960 expression.4829863aeb7e5437

    “Your Highness… why are you like this? Hasn’t Lady Basilian always been d1fc648928 obsessively attached to you, tormenting bc78ab26d7 you relentlessly? If such a woman 17cb2cd264 has finally given up db12bb5c00 on you and married 7385a4088c another, isn’t that a 99cdffb378 good thing? I thought you would be d2d3a6eb3e pleased…”2c915370999c5690

    At that moment, f80c5401c7 a blade, sharp 14fdad603c and cold, was 2d40316d84 pressed against his 4371d25673 throat.814d054b41f2bcc8

    Never had he 871d0c9d23 imagined that the e8edacf852 very sword he c1be10cab5 had relied on c92a68c36d more than anyone dedf750be9 else on the b32db82cb4 battlefield would be 8f5e6cae0e turned against him 6982580fea by his own a671538627 liege.ae6245a79349cfaf

    Shocked, the Viscount looked up c41f09f0a5 at Kaiden. But Kaiden, his 9a1aa75e8a red eyes gleaming af4067a6a5 with fury, was 7e5f2ea13f glaring at him 4b011bb4cf with a murderous 7e1be7a9a5 intensity, as if 3a13ba7a11 he was ready dc0739921f to tear him 562479d7d1 apart.ec41c4f4f5d014e5

    “Your Highness, please calm down!”0c4f4aba96b15cde

    The adjutant, who 053461aa91 had been anxiously 1d94adf5c3 observing the situation 1ef8038473 from the side, 1b32517c2f hurriedly intervened.88715c8d2f8944ea

    In truth, the adjutant 32f98cefab had long anticipated that 20c930c891 this day would come.f516e067b620521f

    Someone would eventually misread the dcada59724 relationship between the Crown Prince b1cc4324e0 and Lady Basilian and make 20a1e691ce the grave mistake of speaking 94c1f30b2e about her carelessly in front 4bbb6b83d5 of him!7c852a831fcb655a

    As the closest confidant 27b3c13164 of the Crown Prince, 9d91759fac he had watched Kaiden d3768b97a3 and Evgenia interact for 8ebcac74a5 a long time and 81ec8c8c90 knew the truth about ce7f02b23b their peculiar relationship.6799843029db522a

    Everyone—including the Emperor, 83178f719f Kaiden’s own father—believed bb8edba7e9 that Lady Basilian b6e6034364 was madly obsessed 6ec0f02a52 with the Crown c5b7eaa6b3 Prince while he, 8fb4e9cb48 in turn, despised 9429355159 her.3b00642de625ac8c

    However, the reality 921f0ff22b was entirely different.a83997453a9015cd

    Though Kaiden constantly pushed a8bd831358 Evgenia away with harsh 3a193d1820 words and actions, he 436c414459 still received regular reports 8dad7b8f49 on her well-being and 1028327815 showed an extraordinary degree 99ba4b19ab of concern for her.69b6f2d298180137

    Not only that—whenever 94fa20f452 he invited other 93084b1b9e noble ladies as d0cdb225a6 partners or gifted a156d5ef41 them presents, he 23e427c0b8 made sure it c05af2cea0 was done in 152ff6d987 front of Evgenia 69831b84e0 or that she 0da54721a5 would hear of e73018b95d it. He was obsessively attuned to 367e64a573 her reactions and behavior.8206c2f762b20fec

    The strangest part was that 5c03db67c8 Evgenia was fully aware of 58aef00514 this.08eb5177aefd2d4e

    The adjutant could never a194a25cc6 understand the Crown Prince, 6026e98147 but even more baffling 543a63c041 was Lady Basilian herself.d729d962de3e9338

    With her words, fd437ad7ad she professed love f6e531dc3f for Kaiden, pleaded cd28cbee42 for marriage, and fb058d8766 insisted she wanted 8817ad8549 to be by 51ba560ccc his side.0c4dbb25b28bd38a

    She even acted a03844ffee in ways that e41590f512 seemed to cater 99c921d780 to his whims—such 842bd51d4b as humiliating other c710ed2d0d noblewomen and hurling 11dc3bf89f insults at them, e028202a32 as if to 72bf2fa663 say that no 8477bc969c one but her 4ef7c404ac could stand by 584d5cb2d5 his side.5d3d561318cd6149

    She did this because ed27944fc0 she knew that if cb63ce6488 she didn’t, the women 49bdbf03cd involved would meet an f885fd815f even more miserable fate d199f72114 at Kaiden’s hands.fbb91153ad8960d8

    In the end, it wasn’t d119b76c0c an exaggeration to say that 3081533309 the many atrocious deeds that 7ef06ca6e5 had tarnished her reputation in 10b09a5942 high society were actually caused 3675490f9f by the Crown Prince himself.a9c996ed538d89e1

    And yet, despite 1a2d3e8f3a her obsessive attachment ad825547d7 to Kaiden, she 271e986ddb showed him no 4ab6fea161 genuine devotion.cde0422968e29c73

    She was known e94cc34a36 for her extravagance, 96f905aa09 but she had 0851d9e82d never once given c5d15e317c him an expensive 531c96fcdc gift—not even a 0a49d4633e simple handkerchief when 934d3c389a he left for 98ccc3bce8 war.4197b1fdb41275fe

    She never visited him first, 60c7e5aa17 and whenever Kaiden sought her 691e8d6fa4 out, she could barely hide 855f66da95 her irritation and exhaustion.d30c9d446b82da92

    There were even c558824425 moments when her 1692900495 gaze betrayed an a2cd6f5b44 unbearable loathing for ef1bb73523 being in his 6f988bd6c6 presence.8054f7caad119ab8

    Even the adjutant, who dcc16f8099 had watched them from b79d92b294 the sidelines, could tell 57447e9edb that Evgenia despised the a5c20d764e Crown Prince rather than bf81666ee1 loved him, making it 3aa2093b63 impossible for Kaiden, who 31d8242298 was fixated on her, c87f36147a to be oblivious.e8e4d3946d824060

    Thus, the Crown 2dd56cc518 Prince only became e3109b51e9 more sadistic toward e0787e9cd0 her.652d918c75699304

    It was a 05e1b05c59 relationship that was bb48084770 both incomprehensible and 4f81313b5a without resolution.4747bbcb2d3b75bf

    At the same 8b39a5732b time, the adjutant b90ac17255 believed that the 658a850f48 outcome of their 2af77f807d relationship was already 74ee8f3fab determined.f3d32e3015420d99

    The Emperor’s pressure to finalize 8e48384970 a marriage alliance with the aa89c27e72 Basilian Ducal House was growing c1528265de stronger, and regardless of her 22f1fbe742 true feelings, Evgenia claimed to bb9c59e5ff want marriage. That left Kaiden with 8f0dbd3531 only one possible decision—he c1e77850ec could not let her 00b2aba257 go.bfff1a7217f8d3cc

    The adjutant’s assumption f2a0cd7597 was surprisingly accurate.6b395c1f75d8bd79

    In fact, right before e05fa40bc4 setting off for war—more 07bea36d6b precisely, right after sending 7885d3b389 a marriage proposal to 128a3b9bda the Duke of Basilian’s 805b6bda1c niece—Kaiden had ordered a c7c4e5ef81 custom setting for one 25e328a4e9 of the Imperial Treasury’s d3988351ae treasures: a red diamond 6700cfc68b ring he had received 23375382a6 from the Emperor long 72eaa07ab0 ago.833518cb10757444

    Just in case, the adjutant bf1ecafa02 had asked whose finger size 440d0e3f3f the ring should be adjusted e0adab61c6 for.9d1e0f27f5d485a5

    Kaiden had scoffed and 57641d17a4 retorted, “Who else but 6fce3fb1a3 Evgenia would wear this 240f91831b ring?”b38c83e75e0a8d70

    The fact that 9d977196cf he had sent 44ecf289ea a marriage proposal b912e64d41 to someone else 3e396a3971 yet still did 50b2626f83 something so absurd 796884aeca left the adjutant 6eed909895 speechless.0895256bdd66e30f

    Once again, he 2f869f5eb9 assumed that, like bd44b76d8b many noblewomen before, 7ee9a9a7c4 Evgenia’s cousin was 40c549ae7d simply being used 94a7262ab9 to provoke her.316de96dec647090

    And he was right. When Kaiden sent the 4503431c31 marriage proposal to the f07ec5913e Duke of Basilian’s niece, 851fdf915a he had promised the c8fb87fa7e Emperor that this would 27041cf66a be the last time—that 3921b531a6 after the war, there 869f9a638a would be no more aaff12ea15 trouble regarding his marriage.68a857a870950abb

    He was exhausted from 4717718762 his constant battle of 584534dc38 wills with Evgenia.98e749a911b57d3c

    Until now, he 631993f38a had avoided marriage 834774bd86 because he feared f415da8534 that once Evgenia 3f5f404dba got what she ca1ae425e2 wanted, she would 8d56f483b4 leave him without 936cfc30f7 regret. But he had reached de2075e7df his limit.38069bdacbacb854

    What he truly desired d9df00e7c0 from her was not 6a874fab37 difficult.5883537e9a2a7f9e

    He didn’t want her bc645ae645 to just say she e477a4c1d0 loved him—he wanted her 86d581b5e2 to mean it. He wanted to d9798fb394 see warmth in 9accd0a788 her eyes when 0a4c9eb63b she looked at 11aaf19d53 him, not the f91d5b3d09 cold hostility she 0442f91977 always carried.c26612da27ee8c61

    And why he could not df7e3c4408 forgive the Viscount for speaking b293ecd706 such nonsense and uttering her 3cdfccd5d1 name so carelessly.b53d60b6428fabce

    Even though he knew 1f2ccf3298 that drawing a sword 5071460c9e on his own subordinate—especially 06884c35c7 as a commander in e5405c0920 the midst of battle—was 2b8326dbd2 unacceptable, he could not 5d05940e91 bring himself to lower 70a645a5ea his blade.87a22fcc337e8c9e
