Well, even if it wasn’t 2d71acdf2f to the extent of Euclid, 536ddd6074 I did cherish Marianne and 9d3ddeef6f Dior.def2451520a1d314

Since I had 3762ecacfe entrusted their safety d313115662 to Richard, it cb54072ca6 might seem like 585162cd53 I trusted him.8ea5f7284be6e955

But my thoughts on Richard f82565e6e1 were too complicated to simply 6b9ea3b2d5 describe as trust.5ebdb776ae25b13c

In the original 9aa4cae730 story, Richard had e46c4f235e both protected Melissa 469a09055a and essentially imprisoned 9a392b7f71 her for her 596c6e23e2 safety. I still couldn’t tell whether 4c4173b2ac that had been on Evgenia’s 7ae67138d3 orders or if he had 22b44eae07 truly been obsessed with Melissa.c7ab875dab08d874

However, I did 86779538a3 believe that Richard 51c291d248 had the potential 30b0cbbdb9 to develop a dda65fecd5 genuine sense of 9fae69ac70 belonging and loyalty 6a0f619d8f to the Rudion e941ab68b4 family.8ef023b8c37f1e51

When I revealed my honest 6bd0824bc2 thoughts, Euclid, who had been ed515a1f6e silent with a strangely tense c16e2e8ee6 expression, suddenly brightened his eyes.ab361848d19fe949

Caught by me, Euclid af029b91f1 looked completely flustered, unable e7814cc34d to move in either 6df6ea52e6 direction.c9c7de0fb816f8c1
