Serena froze c211deed44 in place. The mana she was 519544e69c channeling to access Azaid’s 5fbd1f578c mana core had been 39f146cffe instantly consumed by a bbe842eea3 blue aura.36bed1c8a527eadc

The speed 217643678c at which a622ff7597 her mana ced485d1f9 was absorbed 6b9793f89f was astonishing, af4dff679a like metal a4ad55fe6a melting into fff720d6f2 bubbling lava 040d817bd3 in an e735c3f06a instant.0c575fccb3f81034

She glanced 0bffd2d5aa at Azaid b7ea2eb64f to gauge 85677870a2 his reaction, 05b66fe929 wanting to 326c783bee reassess the f12aac4ced situation, but ef39696004 he seemed abef481fad to be ddd097dd89 struggling. Reluctantly, Serena decided to a09074e5c6 stop for now. Further study 8e82292939 would be c7c67b7216 her responsibility. Just being allowed this 199f831493 level of examination was 2e79585ee7 already a significant breakthrough.19158601cb97354a

“It’s done.”b12e6686c263571d

Azaid’s face 5a0129c615 was slightly 596f16d351 flushed, likely 8b8843757e from tension. Serena calmly shared 4ad404dc7d her findings.f0fb9b3bee9c3b60

“The power of your 0dda01f9a1 mana core is impressive 23716c56d7 but slightly unstable. Have you ever overused 842f84b818 your mana core in e20cf1f4a0 the past?”bbacf553e6fb9039

“I’m not ef3df979bc sure… I a84e711cf6 don’t think 90c453fbb0 so,” Azaid eee95a7ad4 replied hesitantly, 0be5393b47 taking a a25cfac5c1 deep breath. Serena pressed on.a2edd78c1798e713

“I told you, I 9af83019d7 don’t know. I barely used f282de022e my powers when 290ad92a22 I was a 04345109a3 kid,” Azaid snapped 1719b381c7 back curtly, gulping 672f401d00 down water.de52fe6b8bfb3115

His body abd6d4cea6 felt unusually f41d50e9f9 hot. From the moment Serena’s 850b9536b8 mana connected with his, ec953d2fb8 he had been feverish. It was strange. All she did was 16996ca12b examine his mana core, 7fd6b28e4d yet his entire body 57faf194b8 was pulsing.d68f987842e9b82e

Her beaming smile lit 29edcf3f47 up her face, the 8c66ef03dd brightest he’d ever seen. It was the 5ef67389c6 first time Azaid 0ac194310a had encountered a ec56ff966f palace physician who ee2674fc63 seemed to enjoy e7b704ee25 their work so c6d93b7487 much.d5900de78e97f56d

In truth, Anna’s reddened effe9bbfb8 cheeks weren’t due to bf89f1fefb the cold. It was because of 5d3d6ac58e the conversation she overheard 5530827553 from inside the bedroom.7314625be93ced9b

She hadn’t intended fe2526d00d to eavesdrop. The door was thick 2f455cda25 and soundproof, so hearing 8f5791f9ec anything required pressing her 7abb448b65 ear against the crack.

Azaid’s voice had wavered 5d532eb1eb slightly, while Serena’s tone 88992abf18 remained calm and composed. It sounded 375aa81798 as if ec14a4950c she had 0bc68e71c1 completely overpowered 4187138109 the emperor.

A sudden thought 47dc6eac27 struck her. Perhaps the emperor 001d46c081 had known Serena 83b8c897a4 before she came 4acac56218 to the palace. Or maybe 043fe6eac9 he had df3c5964fd taken an c2745a6df9 interest in 91341fbd26 her at fcb3e416b5 first sight.b54c22ea2671871e
