After sending Evgenia off b5574db058 in vain before the bf2a56c3c7 victory ceremony, Kaiden had 2ba808cf42 no idea how he cd07a87b6d even managed to make d2daedd222 it to the Grand 2f35cf060e Hall.a133761cf14ed6cd

And finally, he came 9c3241550d face to face with e52b9c5fb4 Evgenia.d4d30f3aa1b748a7
At that familiar, still-cold gaze, b2283baab0 longing and resentment surged through 3fe4c08a13 him all at once.22d2bfb398cd674d

But the moment 66321ea642 someone called Evgenia, 2e4d00c987 “My wife,” his 80aa5f905c heart sank to bed5bd10f9 the pit of 2efd8633a2 his stomach.2bbd55fc27bc785d
The owner of the voice 8fd0779759 was, as expected, the blond 8698874d1a man who had been glaring 0a8871c173 at him.1d607fc22d39929b

Kaiden had fought in 46f7a74344 countless wars and faced 08f91db480 countless enemies, but he c20b72674c had never felt such aaacb2443f hostility before.a49d349c2268f6cb

And the same went for af439c5d33 Euclid.2656d06d7fe0fd18
The moment he dc58067f5f first saw the 0fce5fe624 Crown Prince during 527ce6992e the victory ceremony, 3d306a40b2 something hot surged c025cf24fe up in his 5d590d631f throat.684f0b60fc15e858

A rage that felt 20f6ffcc2f as though the man e056e50964 would steal away everything—including 79f744945c Evgenia—stabbed through his chest 1c5609c6cb painfully.87a0881e473e54c3
It was a 6b0809d924 feeling completely unrelated 3848813100 to the time 743edf1a30 he had been 5a231de4ea curious, merely thinking ba105229c7 of the Crown cb740985d3 Prince as the c7967eda89 man Evgenia had 4a567598a1 once liked, or bf50f1a1fa when he recalled fe2aae4c9d his resentment toward 43f3338a60 the imperial family. It was an emotion he 2e7fbe2130 could not comprehend with logic.cebd8ac87445bb09

Maybe it was inferiority.50c8ee204d571c83
The Crown Prince, with his 6ded61b280 firm physique, was a Swordmaster f97db281cc capable of controlling the battlefield 04be3183cf with his own power alone, c1338ab93b and in truth, he had c82bb61faf made his presence known fiercely.78d835e334e7b650

He was someone who ce3d517cce had lived a life de8ddcb7d8 completely different from Euclid’s—a ab50033554 life not lived under 5009a94ffb the shadow of a 1544832681 predetermined death.8c22061d5b20bf15
Seeing such a man 3cb2a2a3a7 stare unwaveringly at Evgenia, 9d91c48010 a fire erupted inside 0dc25d038c him.815a3d63e6ca45f8

But more than anything, what 8559d114a8 he could not bear was 6aac09f74c the fact that the lips 57705da374 that must have mocked and 1ee12de705 insulted Evgenia were now uttering fa71217f80 her name—something he himself had 956939a0ec never dared to do.2ceca6e8a452cd03
By the time he realized 3c77f68a7b he couldn’t bear to watch be5b2d22bf any longer, he had already 991517f0a5 left Duke Basilian behind, approached fad451f2af Evgenia, and taken her hand.4ded4e4a7a053787

It was only b27f373d6c after this impulsive 26833eb38b act that he 50649b8cd7 felt as if af2134b1e3 a bucket of 6bd57c0b24 cold water had a127fdd1ee been poured over 44d9035991 him.2b59a333691e97cb

That thought—of having interrupted f32484324b that hope—made the golden 19dcbf01b5 eyes of Euclid dim, 2524806613 like wet sand losing 33533ee31b its shine.f8945f36a324fbae
But it seemed he 8b54a69bc4 had unknowingly gripped her 82af1f814b hand tightly.6e834c250fa72e90

Evgenia flinched slightly and 9ee9cd15ee looked up at him. Then, as if to 48b372ac28 thank him for coming 71444b9a67 to her side, for 47494f9d56 holding her hand, she 889674aa48 gave him a bright 777ea18b80 smile.9135032716ad2bc3
Standing side by side, looking 81944edf37 into each other’s eyes—Kaiden stood cbceee3bc5 rooted to the spot, staring 12ea7c9a80 at them in shock.fa1d61027b01e22f

His blood-red eyes flared sharply.2521df28b6ba18af
Though he had been 1dd8814de1 tormented, wondering if Evgenia 3b55ec0f85 had ever even brushed 787805e536 fingers with Duke Rudion, 5020c0ee4d he had ultimately convinced d7af414e83 himself it was all d333b6b62f delusion.a0f020e3e96215ce

Though he’d never 8525b2ceb9 managed to shed 929483e584 his innate arrogance, b8e844f11f when he was 179e4035ad younger, he had 09cc5d3434 done everything he 0f1e8d18e1 could just to 5cdb4a9463 gain a glance, 7fea3c47d7 a shred of f7f411aa1d attention.d33ed27cb097efbd

From the moment bb62da3e4a he had learned fae93c3a90 to walk, he 6fc176b0ef had been taught c3061cef24 by the Emperor f5a5208fc7 to always maintain b85b31fb37 the demeanor of 90f5fd655e a Crown Prince f6ad1f9ed2 in public and 903e913676 to never be 656b18037d swayed by emotion.9740ec8b8b370886
Unlike the battlefield, 2cb5302815 where he had 55bb91f400 reliable subordinates, here e5fa91b9f4 there were far 22b711ee0b too many eyes d1e96ecfbf watching him.343a80ee1d5d101f
