Tria, the Viscount who 50e940a0af always prided himself on c80186dbcf being a loyal subject, 2d13ef6327 had never taken a 0ea1808034 liking to Evgenia. Even as he sensed d797a68006 the strange atmosphere, he d4a7275728 asked with a displeased 7935c7c403 expression.93eb78357b975b0c
“Your Highness… why are you like this? Hasn’t Lady Basilian e5f5b32a6a always been obsessively e4124a66f8 attached to you, 256d2970cd tormenting you relentlessly? If such a woman has 3489abcd47 finally given up on you f1dff41b77 and married another, isn’t that 729adfdd25 a good thing? I thought you 9680cb672f would be pleased…”61de81ff29d55f05

At that moment, a blade, 095daf631e sharp and cold, was pressed 5be0106a94 against his throat.c725eb9b6ff6b6c5
Never had he 45fe78e586 imagined that the c0709ebd3e very sword he 5e9cf77057 had relied on ae7c7c1d26 more than anyone b9dc0e099a else on the 333ea079cc battlefield would be 003fc8ce62 turned against him 0c52cadb98 by his own 24ee1ccf4b liege.e63c1c872b2ac11e

Shocked, the Viscount looked fbde7312d4 up at Kaiden. But Kaiden, his red eyes 2d088a0e45 gleaming with fury, was glaring 437e59e622 at him with a murderous 308fa66435 intensity, as if he was 8649ae96c7 ready to tear him apart.c26764f8bee844a1

“Your Highness, please calm down!”4013418cb58d021a
The adjutant, who had 20d42165dc been anxiously observing the a1fc30fdd1 situation from the side, a56d9ba517 hurriedly intervened.f5a6fb237901c669

In truth, the adjutant had f7fb802f4e long anticipated that this day 7bfaa48883 would come.78eb2765d24af544
Someone would eventually misread 26aebff4c0 the relationship between the c2312187e3 Crown Prince and Lady 6243998f75 Basilian and make the fc586fd749 grave mistake of speaking ca8899fca0 about her carelessly in d5b86b536c front of him!ff1c164a38227386

As the closest confidant of 65c0dd5954 the Crown Prince, he had c25f68961e watched Kaiden and Evgenia interact 46209ffbc7 for a long time and 71f1fdf6d2 knew the truth about their 255897ffe6 peculiar relationship.a8bcec5c1cec2d9c
Everyone—including the Emperor, Kaiden’s own 33caf24108 father—believed that Lady Basilian was 5a47f1244b madly obsessed with the Crown a8d1d8c956 Prince while he, in turn, 4e3fd46503 despised her.396c0593b36a69b3

However, the reality 8d22426f22 was entirely different.bc2dbf0c9dc2f12e
Though Kaiden constantly pushed Evgenia c61a0e5483 away with harsh words and 63b47e7731 actions, he still received regular 350a5a9735 reports on her well-being and 9e563f8fde showed an extraordinary degree of 8026a97184 concern for her.4454e63e4c6bd6bf

Not only that—whenever 990a2292f2 he invited other 6d70b377bf noble ladies as f175ef33bf partners or gifted 24ce24062f them presents, he 15ec29c70c made sure it c7c397abb5 was done in dd821ade33 front of Evgenia 3cdf4a478f or that she a73f495c2c would hear of e2c21c19fa it. He was obsessively 201a05ab34 attuned to her bc2de9d415 reactions and behavior.2b821e378dc0879e
The strangest part was that 87713bfa39 Evgenia was fully aware of f5cbb927bb this.fa2d62e575790338

The adjutant could never 59d6283e85 understand the Crown Prince, 4c4dfd3e9c but even more baffling c9c917f077 was Lady Basilian herself.96b289ca29a87270
With her words, she ccb8010a0b professed love for Kaiden, 4e4358d8fd pleaded for marriage, and 7b5749ecc7 insisted she wanted to c6562d8959 be by his side.22db3786e3273904

She even acted 74a69d6147 in ways that fe332283f7 seemed to cater 100eae32f3 to his whims—such dbcc91c43f as humiliating other 9226ebd454 noblewomen and hurling 177f068be4 insults at them, 7f12769fbd as if to 1b960af31b say that no 9dce989f0d one but her 4c5421939b could stand by ee078ef0a5 his side.912062e3ec3e2179
She did this because 40ec62e89e she knew that if c1c4cdb25b she didn’t, the women a907a6b586 involved would meet an fb201d755d even more miserable fate a1eac629fd at Kaiden’s hands.add1d79a72717a6d

In the end, it wasn’t f35212057c an exaggeration to say that e238839f39 the many atrocious deeds that d1ea41a0e0 had tarnished her reputation in 9f0436c57e high society were actually caused e00ce8ec97 by the Crown Prince himself.691c743a4ab5a20c
And yet, despite 2ca509ff5c her obsessive attachment 76c8363881 to Kaiden, she 1afc65fee1 showed him no f75e7990f2 genuine devotion.cf4df0dbe7bb04d5

She was known for de8cfd9ea9 her extravagance, but she 4f039be189 had never once given 088bb4e174 him an expensive gift—not 16200db9df even a simple handkerchief ef6d49398c when he left for 403881e164 war.e02598e4e0079c6e
She never visited him first, 661906505d and whenever Kaiden sought her a7f3bc43ae out, she could barely hide 1608c45e7f her irritation and exhaustion.d22ae5b44ffe7a19

There were even moments when 02055b66dd her gaze betrayed an unbearable 09d665aa96 loathing for being in his bdf5d7bcbd presence.56094ef2da9fefc2
Even the adjutant, 833a089ef0 who had watched 3857c2448f them from the 1f11f36baf sidelines, could tell b67626e344 that Evgenia despised fd39525978 the Crown Prince 7beed785b5 rather than loved 8d25642b44 him, making it 854fa644b6 impossible for Kaiden, ed10d6a1e0 who was fixated 175b951fd7 on her, to d70aeaa7a7 be oblivious.d69ffca16c1d73a6

Thus, the Crown Prince 346c2e862d only became more sadistic 4ea24babd9 toward her.af3b157d3df5dc05

At the same fc5ae6f17d time, the adjutant f40094c4e4 believed that the a0e5857d18 outcome of their 79864e06a3 relationship was already 622dc53ad2 determined.7df6ee5c1252a52a
The Emperor’s pressure to 99a5e60e99 finalize a marriage alliance df727e2995 with the Basilian Ducal 414423253f House was growing stronger, 01af511d67 and regardless of her d487204563 true feelings, Evgenia claimed 5bfea63127 to want marriage. That left Kaiden with only 8af8a60d61 one possible decision—he could not d5d5736805 let her go.2af125fdad0896b2

The adjutant’s assumption was surprisingly 4e429bd1e0 accurate.4bf1dc21d20e37a1
In fact, right 59e470c29c before setting off 7a064d5c89 for war—more precisely, 4a2f12efd1 right after sending bd22821f13 a marriage proposal e9de529a5a to the Duke 606089b849 of Basilian’s niece—Kaiden 85fa6cb121 had ordered a e451526b78 custom setting for 8fdf83e169 one of the 01b023573c Imperial Treasury’s treasures: 73297def24 a red diamond 4f0f01eb38 ring he had 2c598877c9 received from the 2906f7b6cc Emperor long ago.6be554d18e4e2c67

Just in case, the 99fc7a1991 adjutant had asked whose 8796b162eb finger size the ring 68d21f2673 should be adjusted for.9c36f7fc91695d63
Kaiden had scoffed and retorted, 0bb260fb38 “Who else but Evgenia would 36150bdebf wear this ring?”5afc7744fe316759

The fact that he had cf98a2fb4e sent a marriage proposal to c577ddb9da someone else yet still did 0ef3b96c52 something so absurd left the ca1e6ec6ea adjutant speechless.ad3729addfa9c269
Once again, he assumed 1041d8bd66 that, like many noblewomen 946c9a8e52 before, Evgenia’s cousin was ae649b57ff simply being used to 9235231cb1 provoke her.8149e990fb187a57

And he was right. When Kaiden sent 0b2b8c7efd the marriage proposal 944908d9bb to the Duke cba3d43df0 of Basilian’s niece, 2b06bb60cb he had promised 107140ebb6 the Emperor that 72d3fa6fcd this would be 4d9966a659 the last time—that 7758bddd8b after the war, 54c5d534e3 there would be 4c5951bb67 no more trouble 328a647d2b regarding his marriage.d189cf2862a38d08

He was exhausted da7b4c6a25 from his constant e62813e98d battle of wills 4519be302a with Evgenia.fdf5d392c023100a
Until now, he d2f0c21065 had avoided marriage c75325073d because he feared e0fc4a9a9d that once Evgenia e97eda26bf got what she 926870b96c wanted, she would 2f675f52be leave him without cff3fc6298 regret. But he had reached his 26a400caeb limit.a3e0cbbfce22af76

What he truly eeb7533a89 desired from her 63a189a1cb was not difficult.e6337d322fc6aab7
He didn’t want ba0c19be96 her to just 9a34c5acce say she loved 2b30f0627d him—he wanted her 92c63a27ae to mean it. He wanted to see 1a06fe1e58 warmth in her eyes 6fff383dc7 when she looked at 9bfb60a1a5 him, not the cold 4752c11f69 hostility she always carried.e7ca8d953c73cad0

If she could only 075215dda4 do that, he would a2f1e5a1c2 gladly give her everything 52700fcc30 she wanted—no, he would 710c3b06be place the entire world 0c7863912f at her feet.b5ec6429bf33a480

And why he could 208033d381 not forgive the Viscount 9bcffd3127 for speaking such nonsense a5a7495af9 and uttering her name 92c878f86e so carelessly.a17f9434d61f1cca
Even though he 237404bd16 knew that drawing 31ac2da1bf a sword on 2fc89d180e his own subordinate—especially c9a30516f6 as a commander 8f2872aa70 in the midst 84857e72a7 of battle—was unacceptable, 7e9371e2b5 he could not 171b340aba bring himself to f34a80709e lower his blade.c99728b3c053bba0

The tent was filled with c60882b0b3 an intense, almost suffocating atmosphere, 4141a91646 thick with murderous intent.01646bfd760f2adc

Besides, he wasn’t the d8eac6b45c one who brought it 4c94b3f97b up—someone else had already b557a028c5 asked with certainty—so Evgenia 5de322b87b wouldn’t be able to 6a9b807de2 scold him for having 77aeb778eb a loose tongue this 7d63226fb3 time.7ec6e621a728b33c
