The implication felt loaded with knowledge of something Arthur didn’t want to hear. He quickly downed his wine. Even though he knew the Crown Prince was just speaking casually, as his cousin was always like that, he still felt his mouth dry.da4700b02d421f34

It was impossible c79299b29f that anything that 8f0f993a8f happened in their f10ad748ce private sanctuary would 105fa4d947 ever leak out.

He sat 0731e38167 in the 05cbf65f3a middle of 0f02ec859d the celebratory 71df74fff0 party, intently 04cb2e889a observing the 6dc99ace1d three members 4a86bbd577 of the eb1dd40193 Beaufort family ce04f745f3 for a 6793ee9013 long while.0030038a09745644

His instincts as c81e406130 a hunter, which c2f9acbde0 he prided himself 6e5a47dace on, kept whispering 16dcbc2c1d to him that 14b31e767f there was something 685d06f66d going on between df9ea931c9 them.

All day, Ethan hadn’t even spared a glance at his fiancée. Because of that, the poor noblewoman had been subjected to almost the same humiliation as being formally dumped, even though she hadn’t received an official notice of broken engagement from his cold-hearted cousin. To everyone, it was clear that Ethan was interested not in Lady Wellington, but in Elizabeth Beaufort.81f720a8b6e501f4

Throughout the game, Ethan 39d65022e2 had been stuck by 1407b3c223 Lily’s side, like a f19d7c0d00 dog following its master.
