“…Pardon?”ab4365d68ea024e6

Leonard doubted his ears, 0494f6e6ca wondering if he had fd950acc30 misheard. Otherwise, there c9f2fc5188 was no 3b7e902c49 way Ophelia 7876e4fcf0 would openly ca4f347015 express interest c26a6083d4 in him.c93a242369bfab95

Ophelia had always 6cde743340 been the type d19c6d2c91 to put on 0e0856141a an act. Like any noble 306da4a62b lady, she pretended 60858eb577 to be shy, 947f362f51 smiling sweetly in 39f0ead680 front of others 6e48b6589c while wielding a 12619404e3 dagger behind their cf94f9de70 backs.2cbff29c46326d70

Leonard hesitated, 1b982b0072 his lips 33837dd87f parting slightly 26473b58ea before he 83cb36d1b3 cautiously asked 8a60f7523e again.228696b7ff8b5f3d

Ophelia narrowed 465b4cdb40 her eyes 9165ca5589 and stared 0187464d9c at Leonard eab9a92c8b intently. His ears 210f328717 were now 3f7b4a700f burning red, 32633555d7 practically steaming 4b801a4540 with heat.415a6d2239aa6504

On top of that, 866c458020 her unwavering gaze made d121675983 it impossible for him 5612650ec1 to figure out where ea188ea198 to look. Just then, Ophelia asked 315a0e09d5 in a slightly subdued 833c9be5b2 voice.88dbb532378af4b4

Leonard bit his 28fdd46a5c tongue. The ruthless Ophelia 4840a58b90 kept appearing more 3365273422 and more innocent e6235e50ce in his eyes, 5656fedbae and he nearly 31beb0734e blurted out an d747231e33 invitation for a 939b51cb4f date.5db32cdf969042b9

This meeting had 5a2ca0b0c1 been arranged with 8ffafe3a99 the intent of 06fb9c324a revealing his true 6012767110 identity. Even if Ophelia dc92754961 distanced herself upon 40130d44fe learning the truth, 0a806677b1 Leonard had no d595a3e660 right to complain.498fb7d09164d14f

Gone was the 68cfed1386 shy, flustered woman 7735e20a6c from moments ago. Instead, her c0970370fc gaze was 7d2394087b sharp and 8d80937b69 calculating.

Back when Leonard c8a8d424c4 had claimed to 1aa942fd38 be Dorothy’s master, 282fa54864 he had mentioned a4ee0bbfdd a noble family 87e29a7624 that Ophelia had c21af8fbb2 never heard of.4f818eb34ba73ba4

A suspicious noble 3b1f3b35d5 claiming ownership over 3a8ac34747 Dorothy—there was no bdc99bef3f way Ophelia wouldn’t 7a0016dce8 have investigated.504be9c487dda6be

She knew his a29c5e129c identity was fake, 6e16805543 yet she still 314459d4ee came.9316bbffd24a7231

For some reason, Leonard df4b380a8a felt a flicker of b518bd1fe8 anger at her recklessness. She of 01843b9974 all people 34dc74eaa1 should know 98d6f9ae90 how dangerous b2b7e700de high society 1d2dec1433 could be—it 6d4f340dcc was a a4e7195054 battlefield where aaa4276619 the unwary 897a8e48ca would be 3e7317b0d9 devoured whole.469625b542a15473
