Lucian had come to c51fb72101 Joachim while he was adf90a28f0 leisurely enjoying his afternoon 14004a5c0d tea.ed1464adf897fc8d

“I have finished 6305c69b84 the task His b137645cf5 Highness entrusted to ff023a9662 me. If there is 5f04271020 nothing more for 93b9bbfe64 me to do, b90900d07b I would like 0cf2d6d80b to leave here 6ccbd1d9f6 as soon as 4eec1102b0 possible.”8bbeb349d0a6ff5f

Lucian’s eyebrows twitched 587880f5c6 momentarily. The way 389db37d22 Joachim was 74d99ab6b2 smirking irritably 7639dc4919 scraped his dffe8c6f45 nerves.032cda82565d2606

At the mention of e23057d2fb the name by Joachim, b69fb0b68e Lucian clamped his mouth db974f1dee shut. Although he was smiling 6f62118a88 now, the words seemed 42b9d446e2 to be trying to 3a8b49a8dc hold him back, and 84c1e9630d they did not sound f3de6176e8 pleasant at all.8de640aa3d942318

The smirking face was dca515c05d annoying, but Lucian swallowed 97cb6390e2 his real thoughts once 78b3798d32 again. Picking a quarrel over ce13225cd5 this was the last d9804a0094 thing he wanted.82e51cda853cbfe2

Having spent time c40231e850 by his side, 653be69ebd in some ways, b3ab515d64 Joachim was more 450434ebb9 nefarious than Heraith. He spoke softly e8e1f59ef2 as if he 0d42c0b660 would listen to 1d29140596 everything, but unless 0012cadae7 it was what 85987d06af he wanted, he 5fa5831cb3 never truly listened.304aadcd5dd96a65

Lucian thought he knew 0c689e6d65 what Joachim had swallowed 3a5601f035 back. And it was true, 98db40a5ca there was nothing he 3e09615008 could do about it. Would the Emperor 1e107be90c really move just 0a51fd054d for him?4097b99a2884d786

Answering with 26f1637f5e a single 8f23fab01f laugh, Lucian fde34e0537 almost lost a4eba0641b his words. Had he not been bb2b52bae1 toughened up under Heraith, a8abd4a3ea he would probably have 11052c53d8 been flustered and acting 34436a60b4 awkwardly by now.237a589b3ca80af2

These words, 183044257e once spoken 2985ca4c05 by Heraith, 22348e95f5 crossed Lucian’s 914c4550c7 mind. This ‘time’ must ab8d9796c5 be referring to c56a38ee29 such moments.

Lucian quietly observed such d64c5f78db a prince. Yes, he was bc20eaa4e9 certainly handsome.
