    ‘Oh my goodness.’28f1669d6ac5433d

    I took a deep breath 35f46e53f8 as I looked at Euclid.6659365ba526ad16

    Until just moments ago, I 6e597fe7c1 had thought that cuteness could 66828fa290 save the world.fa3121510abad7b5

    But I was wrong.9114a685cdbb4512

    There was something even 0d267b82b1 greater than cuteness… and 0cd653b61c that was Euclid’s beauty!100c274846b1e0f9

    I didn’t know about e96f0cdbbd others, but for me, bfc8127233 Euclid’s face alone could 8c1d2c9236 save, rule, and do a80f12660d everything for the world.3a1c3be68d55ea0e

    As I tilted my head 3a366055a3 in curiosity, Euclid glanced briefly bc2dbd4ce7 at Richard before slightly curling 94146dfba6 his lips and speaking.3ba2497354ad13c8

    “Uncle, this is the pretty Richard brother! I was asking him if 0091882045 he could protect me!”9518b6ffc22c4e5f

    Excitedly, Dior was the 7ab5dcf33b first to introduce Richard 354d893173 to Euclid.05faaea0209444b5

    Only then did Euclid 2ca8f4c5f5 notice Dior clinging to 4fdd21acda Richard, his eyes widening e4913b9a0c slightly in surprise.1f8818df0f3ce4e4

    I fully understood his reaction.798ac53d04eb4790

    Until I arrived, Dior had f48c2997a8 been known as a timid fd698dfd8a child who was extremely shy 0bd5df198b around strangers.6067e29bb29791a4

    But in reality, Dior was bb8f7fb740 quite curious and sociable.ffeafcb1f97bc1a9

    He had just 9ffeac6e76 been constantly intimidated 31f70cb06d by Amy Biers, b0852b9eeb forcing him to 389580dc87 suppress himself.0f5baa3df994725d

    It also made 43a208ce53 me want to 45fc14310e grant his wishes 7f6d2e3bf6 as much as fb07fd8213 possible.8ee1de541f070eeb

    “I recommended him. I thought assigning a c7742edc0b knight to guard the 063b075555 children wouldn’t be a a75e15752b bad idea.”ced012383d18a6b2

    “……I see.”7b4d08b0a81ad401

    For a fleeting moment, Richard’s 6d946a662b gaze seemed to brush past cca7a5f7f1 me before landing on the cc125f2795 back of his left hand.0cad5d8f07c43ed7

    I knew Richard’s true status, cb190703b4 and since I had already 8019ae564d erased his slave mark and 87639ba97e granted him freedom, I didn’t 22386f6d57 think his past was an 87aabdf031 issue anymore.95f8c694a82dc9ca

    But Euclid wouldn’t 4615c06748 necessarily think the 97c8f6008c same way as ab0b3275d4 I did.3125c6753bd43731

    Richard’s eyes widened in surprise. Then, after glancing at me f18e869450 momentarily, he bit his lip.1808061aff1f5f75

    ‘Dior’s fondness for Richard, even before this, might not have been just because of his skills.’afc6c3788757dee2

    The fact that 4a55f68fc8 Dior refused to 1b9683b8f0 let go of eecdaf4cef the adjective ‘pretty’ ff7458cc8b before calling Richard bc1477985c ‘brother’ was proof b2001e5685 enough.2b4ae54daf3f0f1b

    Well, even when 33c85b235f Richard had been 23b478b30c dressed in tattered 7a0a0b140b clothes, his appearance 2f1b62cef5 had been idol-like.

    I blinked, wondering why 0f8a28cd24 he was suddenly thanking b350d83420 me. Euclid averted his e6e7121c77 gaze slightly, his 6cbb6387ea ears turning faintly 4bc50acb21 red.a23762b2861bbdff
