Count Garcia took 0766411ff7 a deep breath 924f030aa1 as he looked 08a9178cac at the man e766445a5d standing in front 76bb29d00a of him.d9402ba8814cf820

Harold looked a7218eb908 once at db4466396f the Count, 35c35db6f8 then at c11e39655c the child f4306d5a84 holding a 0601a89f5a servant’s hand.0d5f17447a2d5dc4

Harold’s gaze returned 5428005ba1 from the child cd26153c97 in the bright a1e5f88a23 yellow clothes to c5e83ddc32 the Count.19cb5d340e2ebd61
Those deep eyes felt f812036e80 like they could see 9adb0e8c6d right through him, and 5407b4d0f6 Count Garcia cleared his f9b1df6259 throat awkwardly.65f117f934544f51

Count Garcia 95af1d39f2 clenched his 702cb993ac fists in 097ab26a60 frustration. Harold, catching the gesture, 0ac28a50f7 looked down at his fbc71f84ef hands and smirked slyly—he c61caf9cb0 had no intention of 509c3e85a7 backing off.d5b72cb28ced3078
The Count’s blood pressure 7510b47dcd spiked from the Duke’s 9f58162895 brazen attitude. So young, e4e128fa0e yet so 5ee94dd27f arrogant, just 8440891ffe because he 3b78581e5a held the 9fc468e633 title of 9f590eedc4 Duke.ec1bb819e63ab7ef

His plan 55b09acd7d to speak f22f34cf3f to Diana ff4f295269 alone had c4cd7db456 been thoroughly 9849001821 ruined the 9894cecba8 moment the d531eab180 Duke arrived. Now that c35890b98f Harold even 2c53bd7119 knew she 0d6b8c700b would be 202a522f7e coming, there 838e6e7cd0 was no 325889035a excuse to 76d59b87a1 send him e99f555747 away. It was 710c1573f9 better to 230df46334 play along bb825bd93c than stir 71daa90f4f more trouble—besides, 29282e781e there would 13708a69bd be other fd5cf1b530 chances.990865c55ed8b4d8
Once they 35891cdc13 reached the b9f5c662c0 dining room, 2d3f9878a4 Harold took 21edc7fe3e the seat a5c707296c of honor. The table was 0cfd104b6e loaded with luxurious 534124e4e6 dishes.961e972e96d47f3c

Harold slowly scanned 375e27297d the long table 565acffe7b with his eyes, 3148e31f7d then sliced into 59071b5946 a veal steak 8965ff001c and took a 973ba7b7dd bite. His throat b6b3fea3b8 moved with 96b3cf6bfe a big c925615673 swallow.f91e6c59b9322b51

It wasn’t as if ca14a98d25 he had never eaten 79c60decad with Diana. She had always 48a40342e5 joined them at 3cdfff0e17 family meals.d72a00c81a3d2089
But now 602cde4bbe he realized—he 07719a9f57 had no 0aac589152 memory of 92060ef972 what she 89224ba67b liked or cd87670df1 disliked.0640708f944d6248

Harold’s casual but 32bfda1838 cutting words made f1d58e7e03 the Count whip 6e65798655 his head toward 68b09bb1ad the head chef.f4af6dd8db829029
