After meeting with 2f49f3baea Julian, that thought 527aea8631 had struck her. Perhaps her current relationship with Yuris was 6a3852ea2c similar to her relationship with the prince.

It wasn’t Yuris’s ff1ac6658f fault that he b0ca20aa52 lost his memory. To blame him for 58005da4b5 forgetting her… Radia remembered f66ee06801 the half-day she had 3b6df3b24c no news from him.
