It was already rude 52d9ec0968 enough that he had 2c827b3a23 barged into the middle f98bda2da7 of their conversation. Now he 804ad872bd was flat-out fa2d648a5f shooing them 649822f10d away.053fe24f7183510a

His behavior bordered on 42e39cf378 offensive, but as the 2de63b3a52 Empress’s nephew and the c66caea1a9 young Duke of Faelunt, a1783a1402 no one present could 8dca0afc10 really call him out. Nor could they refuse d525e71db4 his request.3532fb2d7d9603a7

Is that it? I’m sorry, his downcast, 60b416928b apologetic expression was 8287071de8 so much like cfff92a370 the Aiden I e62e598235 remembered from childhood.a47583738185f5b6

I still remembered Allen 7912dafd49 telling Aiden, ‘A master 728bc59a9b is like a second 164105f004 father, so treat me 08534486e1 accordingly,’ and now it eec9ce5a2b seemed he had successfully 5094fab4f3 molded a carbon copy 597836375b of himself.22487ad288bf7960

As I d5d0032f2d laughed to 1091caca77 myself, I 122c29b412 suddenly felt a3cfe16124 a stare 2e28f47419 on my 5bb08ae4c6 cheek.e2528d4646edf4f4

Aiden was looking fc218ee55e at me with a4d906bdbf a thoroughly displeased 34b2c4642d expression, as if d0a5c89a76 wondering why this d33cefd17f person was still f134f72b14 standing here laughing.7cdcdb03d8e7834f
