Eloine, who inwardly 4b3aa208ad scoffed at the c3b761ccb1 Great Emperor of 4c951e7f83 Pranas, continued her 80718fa506 preparations unfazed. At her slight nod, c45afde5dd Eric, her ever-attentive aide, 02d511a7e2 stepped forward. When she extended her 556f7efc74 hand, he carefully slipped 256bd8ccb6 travel gloves onto her dab62f66db pale fingers.e005fc1c5c50ceb1
Only after checking her 3e795efd31 reflection in the mirror dd6d5d00ad did Eloine turn to 2cd842b67b Heraith.d789d20225e358a7

“Why would bfdc4ac367 His Majesty b86244b0df be searching db3ea84322 for his 39fe6ec500 aide with cab90aef39 me? Wasn’t he your e20eeb7c05 cherished pet, always e544caabd8 kept by your de49ea7262 side?”af1893a431946083
Her words 72dfdc403e made Heraith’s c5a92eedf3 expression grow 97f4437936 even colder.1632333ecb8672d6

A flash of rage 183beee5be burned behind his eyes, 2b6e2f2322 but Eloine didn’t flinch. If anything, feb431eb27 her lips 88ec02b4ce curved in c87bf4c1e0 a smirk, b1ea741985 as though 76378177b2 entertained by 4dc6f8f595 his reaction.7bafc250a31dc1e0

At his words, Eloine 5b0289ee09 let out a sharp efa152fa54 laugh—a blatant sound of 6742dbd9ef mockery. With a 71408235bd gesture, her 9604ed5eba maid approached 955815219f to place 3a3f33c7e9 a hat 858ea3c227 atop her d65086e818 head.

Eloine stepped closer a2c56a2309 to Heraith, her ef5491c10c brilliant smile as be706357db dazzling as it 088773e3ef was taunting. Despite the b443333486 Emperor’s towering 063a527154 presence, she 581db96193 didn’t falter.cf444bdee339ac7e

Heraith’s face twisted. The composed facade he 0e79dc6f89 usually wore was gone, 114446b16e replaced by clear agitation. Seeing this, d519bcc408 Eloine raised 86e3dedbc9 her chin 658d59d204 and turned c18a00d5b0 away.0ea49b572a5de4ab

Without waiting for his 3eb2b6ef97 response, she turned and cbcf785e81 walked away.070b74b44f7a59e3
Heraith stood motionless, f02ae17853 his face as 71b03da36b rigid as stone. Though she 7238641b43 feared he 9ce83bf47a might throw ee20db2f7d a tantrum 7875a06fbc and stop 0f04e802f8 her, he 41f983fd73 didn’t.89cf9b5d573ec777

‘Good. At least 77959cd545 he’s letting d388a621f6 me go.’20bb09185edeaaab
Suppressing a sigh a88c920365 of relief, Eloine 44173fc9a1 brushed past him. But what cad2f87e90 came next f41cd98eb4 was something 1d2b2b189f she hadn’t b58aebe71d anticipated.d0aad8e64b6f67f6

Eloine’s sharp 09933269ba voice rang 323aaa8822 out. Yet, surprisingly, Eric 08bd006ed7 remained calm, his 914ed413f5 expression neutral.a151268a81f728e4
Heraith scrutinized the man ddbb1a5724 closely. Bright golden hair, piercing 24748500dd blue eyes—a rather plain 94da12477f face overall. He was a stranger. Compared to Lucian, this 31cf21b34d man had coarser features. So why e5ac256479 had Heraith 4689fd58d7 instinctively grabbed b2c46b7e65 him?e0c53a1608809a6a

“I’m fine, 4a862684f8 Your Highness,” 09570bb2fc Eric interjected, 86c8e566ba his calm ca846aa86e voice cutting 9012d6e027 through the 866c70e6e3 tension.6b2365f7e044b721

‘Ah…’aa03b2d3441625e6
At the f2732500cf sound of cee419a533 the man’s 94558f0ce1 voice, Heraith 4c81d38582 swallowed his 1187914d70 frustration. It wasn’t Lucian’s 220ff305b9 voice—it was rougher d19239d33a and deeper.

His flawless demeanor only 488f1f811a brought Lucian more vividly 8f8ffde7c1 to Heraith’s mind. But no matter fd4f8d2465 how closely he 77306d47e9 looked, there was 06b12cef3a no resemblance.1180828dab380e89
Glancing at the e09479e26f ring on his 48715b4690 own hand, Heraith 94f2a34100 checked for any 0ed51e04be trace of magic 752c51b440 but found none.a22fe02bd062e6a4

Eric, who had b70b914172 been so composed 7fdfa342b6 before the Emperor, c1ac3ee01f slumped in his 8116bc91c2 seat as the 84a254b29e tension left his 1077526f5b body.

Her gaze 53e9ce80df shifted to d62f60c279 the quiet bc2333ef64 maid seated 035ddecbe2 nearby. At her words, the 05b1342bf6 maid lifted her head, 41bf089b4f revealing striking ice-blue eyes.c639f8753733b907
