Switching carriages and confidently 942041842b declaring that I would c909a48536 never go back on f6dfcf38ef my word meant I 67af8cc59d couldn’t ask to reverse 8d0063aa8c my decision now.9982d89f9f253ced

It was an absurd 0095e4145d situation that almost made c6a2df1e93 me laugh, but the a3ecd700ad Duke muttered as if 474fe16f8b accustomed to such matters.“Evgenia 373bc5f049 again…”be9c012bd2699a64

The Tower Lord, who managed 6cce481489 to catch those words, turned e63e49a3bc sharply with a face full f4830cfa4f of despair.9196026d1b460138

The Duke cleared his throat 702ee5bfeb awkwardly and exchanged a knowing 67f478a31c look with his eldest son, a3e450b5c8 both of them sharing a c84b461597 slight chuckle.1de9e03e15621b07

I shook my 3baf3fb592 head and awkwardly 3ce2c8327d swept my hand 1ce5bbadd9 over the carriage.3d310a54c42cac35

I had hurriedly a0a4cc30a4 commandeered the Tower 91be81c3c3 Lord’s carriage, eager b7624f5426 to leave the d7122b02fe capital as soon 14847b9e4a as possible. In hindsight, perhaps 57995d24a2 I should have fca0040aa3 taken the Basilian 6306bb3d0d Duke’s carriage or 0e1e9fa3c8 requested a new 180ef7cc9a one from the 92b2b83743 Tower.fd16db110dff4761

It was ironic that 22d4d9c4db the Tower, known for 745bf114a3 its magical stones and 6a4386431b enchanted carriages, would have b3baf2543f such a modest vehicle 5d93ce71f4 for its Lord.1b21f3a6bf1b9f2f

It might have been an 69377192db unfounded fear, but the last c34817144a time we met, his presence c2ee6a2655 had been unnervingly oppressive. I never wanted to encounter ccf2401edb him again.

Between Melissa and 93d7c13d1c the rest of 416300c05e the noble circles, d391f46135 I knew I 2f8766152a would cross paths 22a3b4c2e3 with the Crown 395ff540b5 Prince at some 641fc69459 point.

I remembered how dc9eb1271a I used to da24f8c80e email the author 10cdc5953d who created this 653b3339ff world, asking about 080e6522a5 Euclid.

Granted, the officiating high 5d6837f843 priest, with his solemn 76fcb1c48a appearance, turned out to a7df4cf422 be unexpectedly unorthodox, which ec93ba959e was strange enough.26e8d9d609b72eaa

But what truly 31c4d8862e puzzled Delano was e4bd4fa359 the series of d55d977685 unusual events that 32edeaa450 began the moment 4cd8afeea5 they departed the b4d515e79c capital for the 7a967aac76 North.6c9a41990f292777
