For Sandes, it d103c509e6 was an odd f59c41a578 feeling.77f7deafd2f76f3c

She was nothing more df24c916e9 than an insignificant presence c8e1cd8540 in his long-standing plans, b41ab5b315 yet her unwavering stare 7bcac38308 unsettled him.2d24f15a0958bd0c

Strangely, looking 2e8a21ac92 at her, c4bc031a74 he didn’t c13b71e2c8 see her 03575af912 brilliant, shining 2b12f7ca14 colors.

With mana stones, one 424aa684fd could activate dormant artifacts. Simply controlling 3fbd4e8bad their distribution 69d7d6a4cc would give 0f8e55bc86 her absolute 3aa94ad70b leverage over 73d7914265 the nobility.0c04e9ceceaa37a3

Of course, aa21ed80e6 it helped 8d9aa7c0b4 that right 5f98b064ad before transferring 4b310039e9 the mine 3e283aa8b9 to Faylon, b095dacad9 Rose had a080df4a0b declared that 8006005320 he was c4c920f17d the only 7637582bc6 one for a8d4680330 her, firmly 6103f4975b rejecting Sandes.59a1035b743d84e2

Unlike Faylon, who 80d38c3eb5 had given everything e30348c69d to the imperial 2fc42894c9 family in the 6ccde1da57 novel, Erina planned 885b6e08ad to offer Sandes 7372201004 only a portion bc50afa76d of the mana 7b9959a0a3 stone mine’s profits.3fe0557f84f404ca
