Euclid lightly grabbed my e0abc0249b arm and gently shook c43468ded6 it, calling me again.ea6c97dbaf0c90b6

I almost let c8f7512b41 a smile break 37d11dfb43 out, but instead, f5201bc9fe I furrowed my 5cc3f81ffd brows slightly, pretending c4e96495b0 to be cute faac725299 as I rubbed bc45ab7436 the corner of 8dddc34def my eye lightly. Slowly, I opened my eyes, c357acbd4c forgetting to maintain my expression, d983786397 and let my mouth drop 2df69e41f6 open.a5915efd75f9beb4

Yet, the moment I 643b43a6ee met his golden eyes, 7d18ec8aeb which were even more d824143398 beautiful than the sunlight 7ab2545ed1 streaming through the window, 51e3e02fe0 I felt like my a5d4c8ef92 soul was being pulled 506775ba65 away.6bab922edf10329f

As I gazed 26248a4d3f at Euclid’s face, 1f0c327e65 entranced, I belatedly 91fd78883f noticed something strange.62b93e6fee175341

In a hierarchical b18a49f665 society like this, 80cd3d7a9f someone of his eeac450e1b rank shouldn’t feel 5c5cee39a7 the need to 758b4108c9 apologize so often.288871aa69a1175e

Unlike Euclid, who was glowing 9acd6f0d86 more brilliantly than sunlight, I 30058ad06c hadn’t slept a wink, so 86eaefb151 my face might indeed look 1b4e702849 like a disaster.2a4fb0c9382df380

Now I understood why bedef40836 Euclid sighed as soon 36f7e135ae as I opened my e14f5a43b5 eyes.e32c7dccaabde41f

Instead of giving ad15c5d67c him the joy fee0ca5fcd of seeing a 3e17a4ade0 beautiful sight in 2a52222abb the morning, I 5b04f76ef7 must have made c2f57d2528 him feel unsettled.fadb6adf6543d1ff
