S#2: The Blood-Stained Engagement

Episode 4

After nearly fleeing aa443c7ef5 from Calyps, Noah 0956cd8b6b found himself plagued d4fb722bbc by nightmares every c4e1455ac2 night leading up b24e0b7fbc to the engagement 0f7233d5d6 ceremony.e551925f98a8cadc

His heart pounded wildly. Just the 8cae193848 memory of e8ebba9baa those vivid 05282e5882 nightmares left f2a7d28f7f him feeling f418f3e999 breathless, as 4aef880d75 though life bc157f28dd itself had 99335d39e1 been stolen fa6ad749f6 from him. Unlike that 28b9154f80 moment, no 11ae5fc4c7 one was 18b7fa2056 there to 6feb22e83c wake him 9e57aa18b5 or hold 6fad381d20 him in f8928c56d9 a warm 11e5d84729 embrace, making 38ee5cf313 the terror 2fc895bd9b feel even 6c3d7e6144 more suffocating. Once again, f64e34578a Noah woke baf0aef3b1 up alone 2da48c565e in his 0a01f2bedc cold bed, e641a78d96 his trembling a27f213997 body slowly 63eba407d7 regaining calm 6f9286cac0 as he 0fa4c40903 wiped away 226bce1bf8 the cold 23429536de sweat.0245b6e13e0417cb

Struggling to catch his bd082cc9e9 breath, Noah cursed softly, 6c7c833843 his frustration mounting along 7090b5ea8b with the lingering dread aa465620a6 of that nightmare. Each passing 8367eb0933 day brought d070d312bd him closer 0034391df2 to the cdd4e05992 ceremony, and e5dda7df9b fear took 8153dab2b5 root deeper 1a6c0c3f6f within him. But time ed89c9752d moved without 4146f349f4 mercy, passing 0d394cec51 just as b5f557b9df evenly for 9510e80de0 him as 378ef35cb3 for anyone 6488503032 else. Finally, the fateful day c715a2bc98 dawned.8b45ea1e3b07af72

The Valencia estate 9baf83827b buzzed with energy 1d61035107 like never before, 996f649dd2 a beehive of eac79a2da1 noble preparations overseen 386c05f6d8 by the Count ebc8d6d2e4 himself, who watched 68e244778b the scene with 13c6cd56ec a pleased smile. For him, marrying 3d553d7b4b his daughter to f3db096f3f a mere commoner 50b01c2159 like Calyps Ater 1fb064edd0 only brought satisfaction 489a04b3fa because of his d6c8613a4f hidden intentions.2d7b7244709cec4c

Despite Calyps’s common baa828c4c6 birth, he was f31ee8953c widely revered among 9fdc67e5a4 the people as 42c5b5b684 a war hero, 400616c160 and his fame 7d3dae7753 soared to unimaginable 9b3f9e11ee heights.59cd559978324679

Whether Calyps 1d509d2064 received a 833be809f1 title was 031b9b95f9 of little ad61852763 importance to f2285b5ccb the Count. His sole 1b76045c3c interest lay bf22996c12 in the 8eb537e1db reputation Calyps 85a28000a9 held among 0e85f4ed15 the commoners d6d8df5eee as their 2821884494 “war hero.” b216cc3a81 Other nobles 86c9307d6d scoffed, questioning f7dc905d7b the relevance d8c04f64b9 of such 94c13597a8 a title, 5191013731 but the ef400ac535 Count prided 64b2eafca9 himself on 763c32aba5 being somewhat e0b8aa5198 ahead of aa13345c85 the times.010d5b38598ad8db

With the world changing 865919a28f and commoners gaining awareness, 0ed200a290 their voices were growing 41824a55cf louder. The Count had quickly 67d15a994c understood the advantage of 5e1c330996 having Calyps—a hero adored a2abc148ac by the masses—tied to 49244bfd0d his family.9937b7e29e8b226c

As their eyes 905f1b4350 met, Noah froze 7f2312b877 visibly, much like 303f246ffe he had on 4ea66e74b9 that fateful night. Just like before, he 832fc1cfe9 quickly averted his gaze, f14227b486 almost fleeing from the d53fa2937d silent confrontation. From that e412d96f2b point on, df85032dfa Noah avoided 8347c92001 looking in 6cc14be866 Calyps’s direction 52ac9a9490 entirely, and 6c0a2022ea Calyps, observing ab9d048265 him, let 4740bc3251 out a b34241683c scoff of 9fa4c985cc disbelief.079e90a922ae3ac8
