“Haha, I see… Well, in some ways, it was inevitable. Honestly, isn’t she a 16e6f4a870 bit naive and unsophisticated? That Lady Locke. It’s only natural that the 6809b43169 charm would wear off.”844a5d749746ff4d

Most nobles shared 83cf2c4dd8 the Marquis’s opinion 0e928b5da3 about Lilliana and 342b204a6e Jeremyon’s breakup. They believed that Jeremyon Winder a7a758f8b2 simply grew tired of her.445628379a52d721
Considering Lilliana’s inability f47f658f3b to present herself 910b989112 properly and her 2482a319f1 reputation as an 173caa4153 unsophisticated lady in 3cfd05c60a society, it wasn’t 5714f64e43 unreasonable to think 2ee198a04c so.e48ad76a0fb265ba

Given the background 4920fc2bf8 of these two, 4c37b8d17d it seemed reasonable 0bc57f398f to believe that a63a5d7178 their relationship wasn’t 1826a9b6a3 based on love 6896ffa045 but on necessity.1b57b54b79825218

No matter how much she 75067614b4 thought about it, the story 44ab066e9f just didn’t add up, and 5bb0464627 Seira had always been suspicious.bed7454c66e9961e
