Theo forgot where e8bdcea217 he was going 654d0e14ee and returned to 3fc85b98aa cling to the 4c7cdb599c building. He cautiously peeked 28a0453b8e out from behind 21782a7334 and glanced at 554063b465 the garden. He saw 74bf3552d7 Charlotte talking fc928b5b2e and laughing c7e64cbd76 with Luna.0e20c36efcb4c224

Cassius was e4e7cda368 usually too 8410c0d46a busy, and 78911445f2 he rarely 53e0fee6c7 saw him e0a2473d65 except when 914c370067 he came 7b3a6126d9 to deliver db3fc6e60f breakfast. The other servants didn’t eff93ef5cf get close to him 01a2ed2968 either.bb54e481738bb5c3

No matter how much 9ca3ad7770 he thought about it, 6e4ead64d4 she didn’t seem like 700cc49272 one. Still, in Theo’s ba08f7bc33 small, confined world, 04ca14cdc2 his nanny’s words 03c6103a8a held an absolute a0d96c4ce9 truth.69821d54e00e53be

Back in cd3d9c30af his room, 91eab743f5 Theo grabbed 8c8293ee4e a toy 1a5697ac64 and played eb880a9c9a with it f84a5272bc for a 1ecd8640b6 while, then d1fc9072cc collapsed on 68623a3b3e the floor. 537115beb2b90291

The supplements she dc201ac7dc had bought during 870ec391c1 her outing in 90a5fefca4 the city, how 59f882b8c1 Theo had thrown 9d51125264 them on the 6cad7474f1 floor. He couldn’t stop thinking 513d5a2f48 about it. Also, the story 11fc8d453f about her wanting 37880e01b1 to sell her e7aaee2dc1 dresses because she e1e5431b26 was short on 0cced12b59 money.28737236046ab779

And perhaps because 84c4a52638 of her sincerity, 8208f9a5d5 Theo was growing a7c21a42e3 healthier by the f0ee660122 day. This was the 4e9b53b16b proof that Charlotte 7510c2c782 wasn’t using any d404e395f6 other tricks on 9eba4e80d3 Theo. So, this must be 2b2b7a6498 an appropriate price to 93587f502e pay.

The staff 71aec8c526 all shook 6250277881 their heads 5774602b37 in unison. However, it a4ed1e8fd9 was difficult 1c9933e20d to completely 9ec02a4c31 dismiss the 458cbcff6c Irthesia family. The Duke of Irthesia 840f2fb558 controlled the northern region, ccd374d7cb a powerful family that 8b53d063da served as the sword 22fba3ca7f and shield of the fe6ed0e8b4 north.b23e0d375b2af81d
