One day, Delano 651110ecba said he had 9728acd7f5 a bit of d37a18bd75 free time and aa37afd50f told Euclid to 74b1b19e1d take a break 62dd9bdedc with me.aa6142d21f8c1135

Euclid made a perfectly legitimate d03cdc8d44 work request that wasn’t easy 369af96a56 to dismiss, effectively shutting him 70670bec6f up.1785807431cbf227

As this situation repeated dd83938920 itself, Delano seemed to 712279badc sense that something was f5a831bebc off.38e7c5b85dc18e5c

If both Delano and 744b1a77f0 I noticed it, there 29b3354635 was no way Anne—who c4857a80b8 was sensitive to matters f7c69b331e concerning me—wouldn’t notice as 319febc1c3 well.ee516c4026278ffa

If word spread to Gold 7ff62a8a8f or Black through Anne, those e2929aa329 overly loyal to me might 89345beeb4 start looking at Euclid with e9189ccb47 suspicion.96b2d27c1b0593e8

So today, I a9a2e15018 deliberately didn’t go 5fcdcbffdf to see Euclid.e9aad028737c070a

Once Dior learned about 7b3365c294 the existence of the cc675e4880 secret passage, his curiosity fc9cb88b7f got the better of 0e6c6e26de him, and he started a8ebf0f801 exploring the ducal castle 48b3614b5b every day.4891906b3a184f1b

But no one knew what c646662b98 kinds of mechanisms were hidden 7abdf87be2 inside, and there was always b322410b3f the risk of him getting 6eb633689b lost outside the castle if 69ea387297 he took a wrong turn.43efdfafa7c00ac2
