At times, 59c43dbd14 he displayed ee38e36083 a maturity 0f2b1c81cb so beyond 50f9a60943 his years f1b37e2980 that Acheron 99fdfc680a seemed like 3ee78bbdaa a child 270eaba010 in comparison. But now, Lucius 79d9c71502 was trembling with eb2729988b tears in his 5acdec5a3e eyes, like a b72433b2d8 child searching for a0aa1987d0 its mother, and 9b70498c5f seeing him like f864134aec this, Acheron couldn’t 125a74aae8 help but be 7e0d7ae088 shaken.40034084f8f20f1f

Gazing at the tear-streaked d01d8a2ded corners of his eyes, a4afa545a2 Acheron felt a sudden d6a6e4f20b urge to wipe Lucius’s 96afe4e997 tears with his fingers. Lucius’s cheeks, de8c961269 bathed in 1ceb0dfbe9 moonlight, were d6825955bd soaked with da79c8d518 tears, and 2345028b6f they looked 66bafa52a7 terribly pitiable.baa2c88a28c5f41b
