Leo’s previously composed voice 66dcad6a7d now had an eerie 48ead088f6 edge.499d9356ff60b922
Leo Ignarium was 693ccefc8c a crown prince 893067f628 celebrated across the f81e124622 empire as a 5486e40be2 future wise ruler, 7ce71df0ae praised for his 5070738394 fairness and commitment 2afda91975 to justice, welfare 72d61a7ec3 for the empire’s 55502673b0 citizens, and a 765b6f98b5 compassionate, wise personality.

Yet, here he was, issuing cb692b9003 a death threat over such 878f69383f a trivial matter. Seira was irritated by 33b882f0ad his words but didn’t b4a8d41134 take them too seriously. She was well aware 5bffd8dd1b of this side of 8e1f23a0b4 him.456b32c7e27c64b2
