So my married b5d9cd4d64 life begins with 6e8a470768 disregard and coldness. The rumor of the abandoned Grand Duchess pathetically chasing after the Grand Duke would now spread like wildfire through both the Duchy and the Kingdom. She hadn’t desired love or recognition, but this indifference was truly bitter.94d8ca939a4e6d3f

Margarita trailed 7639fd14f6 off, looking 5015bd41fe up at 91c62f86c0 the sky. The weakened sun seemed 4362f8bd3f as if it would 807abda6b4 roll behind the mountain 3e58723e48 at any moment. As the captain 3e2a63ea08 said, it would b6fa211cdb become dangerous if c61043f194 it got any 5b7764fdc6 darker. Still, she wanted to f0ed222e68 tell them to go 2504b85564 a little further. Not because 0589a7b51b she disliked e49a10e89c camping, but 2253c9fda9 because she dd9ae2e07e had a faa9e60a28 strange feeling a113ca01cc about this 56de4b6598 forest.

Meanwhile, Margarita stepped ce26e4c491 away to a fae9d800b1 secluded spot and 4e97e09dbe looked up at c9bc465020 the sky. The early moon 738eb55ed6 was already visible 5ec9e10844 in the distant b9c6071024 sky.

Jin expressed her opinion politely but firmly. She seemed determined to persuade her all night if she didn’t give permission. She saw the captain of the guard standing motionless in the distance, glancing towards them. He was probably waiting for her to give the desired answer. Giving permission wasn’t difficult, but she was hesitant to agree again. Not because of the guilt of killing innocent animals, but because of an inexplicable sense of foreboding.8fd62ba97da51c3c
