    As I answered quickly, ca81b04e48 I observed Euclid’s reaction. For some reason, c7e770e8c4 it seemed like 534c83145f the tips of cd7c5c03b3 his ears had d872633fc2 turned red.2ffe563ba0e63186

    Just as I thought 39b6f18726 the conversation was wrapping d7cd78a041 up, Dior’s eyes sparkled 255b81685f as he asked,d1d423f5a262bda8

    Although circumstances had been 3695c11861 difficult, and the harsh 809736a968 weather made it unsafe b489e5db72 for the children, preventing 17624898a4 them from going on c4f822fab5 outings, Euclid still seemed 4a4e5b5bbd to feel guilty about c6f5660dc7 it.b69451b5c4195b26

    It was heartwarming to see bdd5a23b8f how the children understood his 61e460fab9 feelings and reassured him.442491014d42ef00

    Especially Dior, who had 614bb8d7b1 been sulking since the fd6221ff80 secret passage was closed d668472f92 off—noticing his brightened face, eea85352f5 Euclid seemed relieved.4933e25380dfe759

    The duke’s servants, who 117cd29931 had been worried about ff3f6e2fe9 Dior’s unexplained gloom, were 9272ab3f13 just as happy to 2d97d198d6 see his cheerful expression.d4645439902e1a40

    Even during dinner, 67d191591b the lively conversation 00062d6509 continued—what they wanted 25cf2a468c to do on 50b0f0280c the picnic, what 93bc697a21 snacks they should e17c219a42 bring—filling the atmosphere 978d569174 with excitement.753bc74dc6aa64a2

    Thanks to Euclid, who b6a49c600f was particularly cooperative today, 0006a9d885 we even stayed together cdf112967c for dessert while finalizing b386637409 the plans. Before we knew it, it 7a75734879 was time for the children 0d5a6f41dd to go to bed.9664f84d6c3dd9ce

    Especially Dior, who must have 8857fcfc29 tired himself out by being 1dd3b51144 extra perceptive. He started nodding 8995db5e35 off and eventually df2d2ef0d3 fell asleep.15acea28b212073a

    Standing by the door, d1a6440aad I watched as Euclid e2d5ec1074 laid Dior in bed, bd7ce60bc2 carefully pulling the blanket febdff2d3f up to his neck 2005194f2e and stroking his head a04edb459f with affectionate eyes.899fa9efc85ffc1a

    Watching that scene, a sudden c590740c56 lump formed in my throat, 6875331302 and my chest felt tight 0810d3447b with emotion.ebff7b08fa542c83

    Euclid was already 9774ca4fe6 an incredibly caring 14d91a99cf uncle, but if 2e5bd43622 he ever had e7d6dcb436 children of his be882e5892 own, he would 05483cdd6b surely be an 5fe2188ebe amazing father.46f622eb69db7138

    At the same time, 72b562e8c7 I felt a deep, b3cfcec3f4 almost tearful envy toward 40301f2836 Dior, who was blissfully 70dc236508 unaware as he slept.0768f8e683468f6e
