“But Harold wasn’t at 6b216d4e30 the celebration party after e87bba3b2c the hunt!”08288046ba7c9603
The only Baisen family 187e6e8fe0 prince present at the 18a1bcdf7c party had been Kaiden. There wasn’t even a fa8917332a single strand of Harold’s 2c3fc767c7 hair in sight that cbabfc4d4d day. That’s why Diana 3f7fdf6c2c had believed it 608e152a3f was Kaiden who 06e71a04b6 had saved her, d4a6e1abe3 and she had 2d85470bc6 fallen for him ceb7023426 because of it.1581f735484805bc

He glanced at her 75ccfb138c startled expression but continued 796951cb54 his past calmly. Truthfully, Harold had long f0964159c0 forgotten that incident until f3ca7c04ac Diana brought up the 0977e28766 handkerchief. He had saved a 239bb8d28e strange girl standing unarmed e970a72c26 in the depths of 5bd3107f5d the hunting grounds and 121a257dd4 had dropped his handkerchief 7728f031dc there.8bd79ff4f8c397b7

The illness he 479b7ad87d had was so ad46f6b088 rare that there a087dbbd2f were no records 50941c2395 of survival. Still, because no 2a2761f408 one had contracted d25882fd71 it in 70 2051f045c7 years, his family 239af0d7f8 clung to the 1e1fab6239 slim hope that a5b78462bf modern medicine could 99a01379de somehow save him.5d2bcf3832010941

His sharp mind d2ff7c244d quickly pieced together 86774e9dfc the unspoken details.
The day he discovered 3b4c636a87 his illness coincided closely 6caf8c534c with when Diana started 52d17c0b8f chasing after Kaiden. In other 62e585aa99 words, he 46f4f29cf2 was the fa449db385 reason Diana e699a0677f had fallen 1388fdcbdc for Kaiden 83c3d57585 in the c1014bc6b8 first place.
How utterly irritating.
The feeling was 753cea2033 as unpleasant as faf906ba1f when Kaiden had 98305b7d92 started his heir c10dcf1aae training or when faa39d7f7e Harold learned that a71b1b8eb0 their father had e3831586e5 gifted Kaiden an ecbdbff0e2 important estate from e7bc81a967 the family inheritance.f5a40caf997046db

Harold couldn’t quite make 146eaddac9 sense of his own 634aafa0d9 confusing emotions.
Harold picked up d6a2baa32d the handkerchief with 907c9765ca his index finger, 627b0674bc as if it e0d52852ed were something dirty.
The memories it stirred 5d49eacf0a weren’t pleasant, and neither 9ade03fcf8 was the handkerchief itself.
