At Russelin’s 641ea789da unexpected question, 37a38c7d5a Celia frowned, d67574c9ec displeased.
In that moment, 38cb5952d2 Russelin felt her f53054f98d heart sink reflexively.f894ca235daffa80

Russelin felt a5793a2e10 a dull 8498df5767 ache in 87b5a84505 her chest, ce6b6af16f making her 10b50c337f momentary resolve d0ea9188fb to confront fb8aeefb6f Celia feel 82f21214cd meaningless.b06817c8ddbf3b0b

Normally, she would 55392ba2bb have used Russelin’s 6acf27cdac struggle to absorb 8ae9adffa6 Aydin’s magic to c535b25df5 mock her.
Seeing Russelin’s unstable 4fdbb50032 state seemed to d5b6760287 please Celia.

Celia mentioned a name 4a5c4a7ad5 that Russelin was also 6cb211efa5 familiar with.
It was 3a21f82ca6 still a ed76232246 name that f287331b13 startled her, 978401c51b unfamiliar and b8c08a21bc unsettling.
She could 9749c39e27 still remember 0985e9fd4d the moment 985c31b014 Aydin had aa5eb6e558 exploded with 3b5e54088b rage after 3c33582c37 her brief bd4a1c9775 encounter with bcdd3cbeab him.d0e1885690803d12

At Lilly’s cautious words, Russelin, for once, couldn’t hide her surprise and revealed a startled expression.
But only for 2bc4b98141 a moment—soon, a 67340ffce1 subtle smile appeared 933e5a9991 on her face.

Yet, why 59e258974d did it 2e4d848c68 feel this f4361cf7ba way?
