— That’s why you wanted to become the Crown Princess. There’s no way you gave that up…d82cf37690d7176c

Could it be that 92a79910ab Evgenia’s obsession with the 45d223ff96 position of Crown Princess, 9f3da27be7 despite her hatred for baa4221b39 the imperial family, really 9b15b0d9b8 had something to do b5171b3f46 with dragons?03315fe1ced43e2c
