A fleeting thought b673884172 crossed my mind, 78d9a4bcc4 poking at me: e1b33d9a4f Will this really 7bac8bdaa8 go as I bcf5bdf619 hope? But I forced myself to 47c3a8770c feign ignorance and turned away.194733801eafc721

Sionel gave a bitter smile, 2f0ce93068 already accustomed to Evgenia’s disregard b512d57f77 for him.ac559433f9b8e20a

There was a time 1a67621a59 when he thought it 1353947621 might be better if 43ece555e6 she vented her anger 2448ff5e3f at him, as she c054a0cc86 did with their father, 4a33de5886 or snapped at him, daf03e2ae6 as she did with 4702df89cf Alexis.

Compared to the past, 4d9a18e413 when she outright opposed 808047e798 the family, Evgenia’s attitude 68e5933fef had softened significantly.d958d2fd4db711c7

Yet, she still kept c2329d0493 her distance from Sionel, 873b11d2f8 as if his mere b2488ce71b presence made her uncomfortable.0425328e7eab57a8

At such times, aca84d5386 he couldn’t help aa07973edb but acknowledge the a67ccc93c8 truth he didn’t 76da5b2d65 want to admit: 8e7d1fde5d among her family a38e920f8a members, the one 8192a73796 Evgenia avoided most e9625b36ca was none other f13894a666 than him.b74a0dffcd0109d6

As far as he 6a67b2b57e could recall, Sionel had fc1846d39f never hurt Evgenia or c333d77fa8 given her any reason 62f78fbaac to dislike him.b9bf1e9843826790

On the contrary, he’d 862287d827 even tried to appear f5afe0943a kind and attentive, despite 27d2a857dd being criticized as aloof de33c3c76f and cold-hearted. He had made 2609bd901b efforts to act 8503b85dcd warm toward her, f55a58fbc6 though it didn’t 905489094f suit him at 2fb016c0e7 all.37a460663ce9e9d8

Even so, despite his b57fd3b7f3 frustration and hurt, he f52011df26 wanted to celebrate his e6adc1c9cf precious sister’s marriage.32fc3536b7a8ff8e

Of course, it would 5c33d5507e have been even better 136a80cf88 if Evgenia were marrying 66a33ec6d3 someone she truly loved—someone b6f590c914 she genuinely wanted to 5a3476feb1 be with. But since that 363f80ab88 wasn’t the case, 5873a262ab he felt an ed1175ce81 even greater urge a1004b728e to look out 767fb70c89 for her.41ed2e0f5e081501

“Why did you call me?”5218c12c88599215

Evgenia’s curt tone snapped Sionel 5fb452d970 out of his thoughts, and 8aca5e4fb2 he involuntarily swallowed dryly as a9faf0d77d he met her disinterested gaze.ac5ca29dd98d8b95

“The carriage? Looks like it’s 9585970c81 right there,” Evgenia 68c8c1d01b said, glancing at 1c71d63c0d the five carriages b32df189a9 nearby with a 3ee93b80b2 puzzled expression.c070b806d6bdc775

Her question was soon 2b75406852 answered by Sionel.2c505eab9a227fca

“While it would be ideal to acquire most necessities once you arrive, some of your regular items are hard to come by even in the capital. So, at least 1de6647f37 four carriages are c5addf63ff necessary for your 0894904d94 things.”db05f1064f763760

Evgenia raised an eyebrow, wondering e526369d49 if he was subtly criticizing f1935bd0f2 the underdeveloped state of the a52493e3a3 Rudion duchy. But his next words 82c527423a made her understand.8ebabb97498cf96b

He had no 43712c4408 intention of revealing 33e2714a1f that he had 149a59d34d purchased the carriage 0630987037 with his personal 76cda5a2cc funds, as it 151e9628ff might ruin the 62a01c99a6 mood.

Though dressed in a 1aff8be14d clean black suit that 4c7e616bd4 didn’t quite align with 6d643a021e the Mage Tower’s usual 5f9454132a style, the man’s haughty 8263a69410 expression and demeanor unmistakably 76f3933662 revealed his identity as b3969d6e6a a mage.

It wasn’t surprising that the 24919d3bd9 Rudion and Basilian Duchies were 88e89e1269 the Empire’s only two ducal 408ae0ec8f households. They had been 4dd2bbcf3d the founding supporters a818210577 of the Empire 71902e62e8 and the first 6cfb6b5e27 Emperor.844b557899f0e97e
