    Selua and Rubella a8e1668114 left the office d6ed974664 to take care f90ce27569 of the tasks 25ef3f2ae3 I assigned them. As soon f81d543991 as the caf4452993 door closed, 6072a0f69b the calm 48153e2f3e mask I f3311cccc4 had been be1e2347d8 wearing crumbled.2aadd45c46394f58

    I let out a 5bcf1f2b26 deep breath and slumped f54cf9c496 into my chair.dfe1b6937218623c

    Looking at everything 364855aeea that’s happened so 6ab7296733 far, it seemed 6ec521ab12 more and more 4e690c664b like the Gate 0f9cec3282 was connected not c9d5ce7bbf to Lorencia, but 8dd57fedb3 to Janice. Maybe Janice c466d155d6 had poured 601fe97ba3 everything she d79363dbce had into ffa26b547e making Lorencia 1f05ff0aef the duchess?036eb04f6ff79aae

    Strange events around 9e1147979a Janice kept giving de30bcf079 me uneasy thoughts a0aebe9e0b in my head. As a edeade7095 fellow human 4a3d9a0a90 being, as 171fb7900a someone living 29d32fff27 in the def76d39cb same world, e9e64dc297 I didn’t 2657ead10d want to cbcf721a3e believe it… b1b6da4092 but a 7a12ece23a horrible suspicion 8f4e92c905 was growing bb233af516 in me.09a29ba488f51d78

    If Janice could ba6474851b close the Gate… 34f1baa56c then maybe, just aed6acf203 maybe, she could 282509de6a open it too.f34984b40668ad04

    It was an 21d5b7f236 awful, terrifying thought—one 09bca1a549 I didn’t even bdeb5c7305 want to imagine. But if it 96e96d3242 were true, it d34081ccef would mean that 30c580f1f2 the disaster heading 02c597e405 toward our world 961b5106b3 was brought here 107b11155d by a human’s ac48e910a8 own hands, just 8594bc7350 for their selfish 17bb229d8f desires.c284e20d2fe81036

    Still, I had no 283fb9423b proof. Without evidence, I couldn’t fd29e8b076 corner Janice. I needed 3701a018db solid facts 2f7c61a282 if I e3e6791183 wanted to 09f8517cdf pressure her f4fcfadb32 and get caa67c7bf3 the outcome efc4da9421 I wanted—to dce8a0ff26 shut that cfe7c7b5d8 damned Gate.e121cd1426c9d2b3

    I held my head 5b84803e0a in my hands. So much b42d3f1df1 had already 44940425b6 gone wrong. In the original 5aa2657b95 story, Cassius was cc946a657f supposed to have 5ccba2987d successfully defended the 7553a29687 area. There was Lorencia. There were no demon 562da4fcc8 scouts. The Count of 95867f7577 Solovis hadn’t appeared. And I didn’t 01114a3da7 exist.cdd4b538a5eb766e

    There was 4a83d7d926 so much 41a9631d61 I wanted 7bacd063a0 to protect. So much I had 75911fa538 to protect. But what d84a4e0c93 I could 5757ed0fe0 do was 0b01bd0f2a limited. If only I c5e78ca6b3 had powers like 70180ba5eb Janice’s. If I had 441c8084b0 to end up 17f1b8a1c0 in this world, 5033a5a2a8 why couldn’t I 147e04600a have at least 57b304d9ca gotten some useful 45cc2beedc abilities?a907bb8f95c47bf7

    I stood and 13bdef43f6 took his outstretched bcbb3040d0 hand tightly. He brought it to deb41ceee0 his lips and kissed 60798a296f it gently. His warm breath wrapped 581a352e6c around me like comfort. Cassius intertwined b9fd3de99e our fingers.f4bbc611388f95bb
