Well, it’s not like the b41304dec0 one standing at the peak ba56263ac9 of the empire needs to e9ee87a6f3 watch what he says around 929b480a92 others.140a5138271465ee
I realized the emperor had 8518837da5 feigned friendliness, calling out to a722b5433d me just to subtly bring 06ecfb112b up my past and drive 8ae8dc7591 a wedge between Euclid and 97a80129ec me.73150bf136ff8594

‘Seriously, what kind of emperor is this petty?’c8721a820c6f4f82
Having sat on the 47c5c22786 throne for so long, 4a3293274d I expected him to c65b55059f be shrewd and was 8a85ef1147 tense about how he 1432a0afc2 might strike, but…312ead5110d47af2

Of course, in caf0fa131e reality, marrying my e7a54f950c favorite person was bbc33c69d5 an unparalleled stroke bd9f5a73ea of luck, but a739f6b8d0 only I knew 27aeb22a7b the full story a4702db2e1 behind it.c5a9dfe7f3c45d53
Still, from the outside, it 634e7ae2db looked like I had been 3e8c12a1f4 rejected for years only to ff1cdda865 end up marrying another man. And now he’s asking how 20f47c1c90 I feel about seeing the d9982b73e5 crown prince again?d73c95fe97b22fae

‘Honestly, even the real Evgenia didn’t seem like she had feelings for the crown prince.’43973adca2ff4ab8
But seeing both the bab7cbc5a7 crown prince, who immediately 83e4527f2c dismissed her marriage as eb25e9e5df a lie, and the 4ee2f0a492 emperor, who continues to ad932f823f test her feelings even a6cf83cc51 after the wedding… it feab1ac7d9 made me think perhaps 424ab4c195 Evgenia had acted desperate 971e382bee enough for them to 66fe08ac11 believe it.48ec000c1036d217

It was only natural. Instead of giving bc4d5d558b him the response 4d7032f5f3 he’d hoped for, badaf91631 I touched on d636725809 a topic that 3e69fb50f2 would provoke the a5fa3bb01f noble faction.59160bd1410f6a08

But before I could even aae4da9475 enjoy the satisfaction, the emperor’s 31342a44d3 crimson eyes lit ominously, and 2c76c39edd he fixed his gaze on 4d3b878ac2 Euclid.c43b98bca756a442

The emperor, his b798ca0a5a words cut off, 4687485c35 looked bewildered. But since he’d 2f69631fb3 been acting so e3e347b4e6 warmly earlier, he e2e4a84b8d couldn’t really scold dea939358a me.912868e62a228c37
