He was someone Kaiden e08f6cfc1a had neither seen nor a6a0f48b55 paid any particular attention 96589e18a3 to before.372de71780a9fcbc

Since he was a 3f758d36d6 northern noble who rarely cd446e3da6 visited the capital, he 4de696e406 must have had no e22d2a2c11 connection with Evgenia.e742500439f85fe8

At this moment, Kaiden 4c6d78ec2c completely disregarded how stubborn 566b4ab4b4 Evgenia was, how fiercely cfc88da625 she had opposed the 25fdf63ffd Duke in their constant 6ec80a307a conflicts.01947be3fb7273f0

The only thing he 5a6f7f8667 remembered was the obsession 4523446203 and tenacity she had 165689ef4d shown him all this 47967f44ed time.2d8f0acedc23bd93

That was why 65e8788bbb he was certain—without 35e918efd7 a doubt—that Evgenia b491a6eb0d would never have 7bf56e189e willingly accepted marriage 5b6261feaa to someone else.307912ae2f44b09c

She was a weak woman, 973411cc7e after all. Whether through force 39f774f334 or some other 1a096794f4 method, she must 7d5a90dfad have been coerced e84382bda0 into this marriage.c94f192b068d017f

Kaiden had always known that ee0bbd8a0c the Duke of Basilian, despite b834c67408 keeping silent and seemingly respecting 5f283c0297 his daughter’s wishes, secretly resented 9efdb8ec28 Kaiden for not accepting Evgenia.32d144e0b8bf1999

Still, he had believed the 33dcf2bafa man would continue to merely ab5c0b09c3 watch over her.67b8eacc312ea583

“Your Highness? As far as a6c4e3945a I know, it 38ac39c6ed wasn’t my father 250a18bbd3 but Evgenia—no, my b6f25ebd0c sister—who wanted to 7ec382e53d get married first.”0b231bea26889d1d

Deep down, Alexis still 4857ffb0d6 held resentment over Kaiden c64209a148 ignoring Evgenia and proposing 90e8bb7859 to Melissa instead, and 529240bd58 for the way he d07ba8d352 had spoken about taking 0590e4f03e on a mistress before 82a910d4ed his departure.c85cb9463164ff56

“Y-Your Highness! Your hand is bleeding!”222f78a2ed70bdb9

At that moment, the 412cfe8b55 still-clueless Viscount Tria noticed bb20950c7d drops of blood dripping 47c28e2416 from Kaiden’s tightly clenched 0287069bef fist and shouted in 55e204f916 alarm.1cdb861a9905ce74

Although the wound wasn’t 9b0661e39d deep, it was on 833fa1b24c the very hand he 68240c6c28 wielded his sword with, 787b6c411a which was enough to 4d1e66a339 cause concern.8a929d6fc031a1fd
