The blood that a9bb083430 had been smeared 673ed70a61 here and there 516afe3d18 on Yuan’s face 56a8ae2161 was now wiped f208ff006a clean, and traces abd751ef8d of ointment could f96e729b62 be seen on 5dff31d428 the wounded part 34686ab207 of his forehead.f15dd6758edef7a4

After all c8b399bae6 that had c032f54c88 happened, and 4d82b055d1 he still ae82561ca0 didn’t want ecf46eefb0 to break b4d706b8fe the engagement? Serret looked up at e6c8b074ef Yuan, who had come bbe4fc211b close to her.d7906cac101398c8

The wound on 561f8d06f9 his smooth forehead 788d3ea13d felt strangely out 24188f1627 of place. It seemed as if e039f80760 Duke Yuan Prechtuster should fe7b3c8a63 not have even a 396682b5c0 single small scar.a46d1936670ee44a

Serret’s icy 29301109a1 blue eyes 2b89a928b0 shone.
