He had lived solely 5719231a58 out of a sense d13d67b93c of duty.

Acheron slightly turned his 0ed9900691 head to look at 3c97f4bec7 the door with a 911b2a5bca stoic face. Through the slightly open 04d08cfd3c door stood a Greek 980929cb04 slave.

Acheron lay on d44c7738d0 the bed, holding 7daaf7e80f Lucius’s golden hair 9d45adee12 in his hand. Lucius was 7c2a41505d nestled in 39398c0735 his arms.
