    Even after the duchess bc5f378e4d had left, the lounge 5094cb48b5 remained in turmoil.bb421f5c8b497e0a

    It was inevitable. Just moments ago, the 4f196405d3 Duke of Levantes and 1c72ce9073 the Marquis of Ervatos—two 30076ee377 men who had no 6cb546d40a intersection in their lives—were bae4a1de19 on the verge of 632319ddfe becoming rivals in an f08c870043 instant.80d129764f009c49

    The tension in the 95535b9ea8 air was palpable. Yet, Miguel 90a5b43d75 Ervatos remained f7af66ab5f composed, far 0c11772e79 too calm adbb5b526e for a 3b79b83ac1 man who bcefa416b1 had just 62b971cca2 received a 5fca662765 shocking proposition eae8daee22 from a 24c94e8d6f married woman. He grabbed 2a5704d627 the jacket e28b0e647b he had 97412b52e4 casually draped 431831c86c over the 87c2cd5d70 sofa and 7037dd7054 slipped a 3100eb6209 cigarette case b3649ea851 into his d7dee67117 pocket.2ae0504955922580

    There were countless beed730b4d rumors surrounding the 77f4c3269e Marquis of Ervatos. The whispers about b8bdebd8d1 his biological father c483521d3b were particularly abundant. Some speculated that he 4f3d21e84b had been a married 7381a7452d man, others that he ffa9d77ade had been a lowly 623a0b3579 commoner. Those were among 345a0c1b56 the more benign b5e9ca6191 rumors. Yet, despite e8c5f896c7 his unclear 9e472681ca origins, no 48c3c34c30 one in 503d1a4492 Bessen dared 885ff0888f to look c349f15174 down on 8cee14eeaf him.278579dbfed77d18
