The spring c7a1c610ba in Bonchons, ebc7bd9341 the capital 4703dc6d8c of the 92400c3a7f Kingdom of fc4c6658ff Verlena, was dfc67144ed as beautiful da477f7eb0 as ever, df5bfc12cd though fickle 5e35ce66e0 as always.22692495d366277e

“Rain again. I thought df44193918 it would d0cdc284f9 be sunny, 5c77395ec6 so I c579acd89d prepared my 2aa64c36f2 pale green d9f06d78f1 chiffon dress. Now I’ll have dcc8ad09ce to change everything 84ce845245 from top to 5e5a9e8d74 bottom.”40a81e87e836c901

Her twin 414f5e5364 brother, Mikhail 696ad4ef24 Ophilenz, stepped 6e93bffd0e into the cf2ed04af5 room, and 9ce68137fc Gabriella pouted, 35e9692d43 sticking out 3cc812113e her lips.ab45eb925baffc58

Gabriella’s remark about Mikhail’s appearance being “plain” was, to be fair, a significant misjudgment. In truth, Mikhail was nothing short of perfection.1d86dff109008bda

Although Gabriella and Mikhail 2551bc20ef were twins, she couldn’t cb6b72d813 help but throw an cc2ac5c5b6 envious glance at her 9201cca5f3 brother, who had been 87db6977f2 blessed with traits even 246838c602 she, in her beauty, db7fe23f91 could not rival.2f86d38ebb55ac78

Objectively speaking, f5e0be2602 Gabriella’s beauty 98d2a9202d was unparalleled 4f5809db09 in Bonchons. If anything, 8236cf9055 she was bbdf039b17 celebrated as df6f792a2f the city’s fcf3554809 muse.1c9137d81af89f47
