Without a 52da5d1cd9 doubt, that 2123f15a9d thing was d1884acba1 a **** 34ebd591f8 snake.2d3ba53ee43105fe

A chill 77a799d144 ran down 04e1489f8c my spine, 39574768f9 and goosebumps 00158e8a55 covered my 5dedf68d04 skin. At the same 915e651239 time, a burning 17074fb717 desire to fight a0809d0060 ignited within me.7b893c7e1a4c27f4

Steeling my resolve, I 3c9eb7358e followed Cherto into the ad05022ac7 office.29fbf52ff460d71e

Inside, the Grand Duke f4a7ff042f was present, along with ec30d2b4aa a man who appeared 0bfddcb062 to be his aide a45fb66ea2 and the Marquis of 394bfba753 Chavez. As soon as I 47777fd098 entered, the Grand Duke 8253459706 stopped speaking.4d6762ace7e70eb7

“The little one 1bb93a71db had something urgent 632957773d to say… so 354eb8b264 I brought her 631a19ba7c here,” Cherto explained.9999ecd6ee9fe065

The Grand Duke immediately ed4adfd59e shot him a sharp d6d99c9571 glare. His eyes e6e9aacfa3 seemed to ea8f287125 question how bbde47f554 a mere 15bce08d94 child could 0780c60b95 have something 2ab19ca7d8 urgent to 7a32e9e32d say—and even d4ace794a6 more, how 10e2f35595 Cherto had ce591c5c3e dared to 8d8ac8d6ae believe her 41531f5430 and let 54d1817625 her in.e22b7dae405989dc

I saw Cherto db92561bab bowing his head 4b8ee54c41 as if he 191d7afbab had committed a e3ec01e110 crime, but I 9ca6d1c8ca paid no mind 8e92881f82 to it. I walked 5081e443c9 straight up 96ba41ba2d to the 829382f011 Grand Duke’s d26ccd82df desk.4d9581bd20c13531

The Grand 43a8812b5e Duke’s expression 11dec8d84b grew even e9ceb4d1fe more displeased 5b78675828 at my dba838e0a9 actions, but e90e5cf3c1 I ignored b2f1038fc8 it and 2fc138e916 spoke.c25268d3babea0f2

“Your Grace. Marquis of 9b085e040f Baque and 69cffc02ee Sir Gachion…  e408750bb6 I have 85dd016bbe seen someone 6c01d9b848 with a 40ea6e804c split tongue 9feec35a46 in their d4c5c6d170 mouth.”d9769d5dbbbb12b3

The Grand 2ad1fe1259 Duke furrowed 5829a0e8c2 his brow 1c83c1741e in a 62f5ac6d32 peculiar way. A split tongue was 7a5676e845 a telltale trait of c953aead93 a snake taking human f93c270b06 form.4e956d37d5b26bc6
