Before Jack’s communication arrived.0b4952a64f10a8ac

Azaid had already 5012298121 arrived at Vincent 642afbf65f Castle. Officially, it was a 59dc90eed0 covert visit, and his 49dca19037 purpose was to find 1dc8a19a0e Serina.5e7da63ef8cffb40

Leonard, who was behind 5f97f06092 him, pressed his lips 892046c667 together to stifle a 5d872bc98d smile. But as the 25d88e89ab Baroness and her c25de6caa3 daughter entered the 12ab96bced VIP room, he 5673db077d wiped the expression 5a22a69dee off his face.aeae065ae1cb6eb1

“I, I 57f8f32369 greet the 2e552700d8 Sun of 946bae9717 the Empire. I am Lydia 3e25a94e25 Vincent of the 790934e8c7 Vincent family.”477204062cf51220

Lydia blushed 28a273881f as she 9f26a20806 bowed to 606763e1d5 Azaid. The Baroness, seated 0ca0762b8e beside her with fce319d90e a delighted expression, a627f1013d added:216f7333a633b428

“We were not dabcaaabb0 informed in advance, 316dc16692 so I apologize b927e777ef for not greeting 38eae66419 you properly upon 541059eaf1 your arrival. The Baron has been a431e5af36 summoned and should be 3d6b355d9b here shortly.”230bdc31312c35f0

The Baroness and 57653ae905 Lydia naturally took b153e785c6 their seats before 56f4da3052 Azaid. It was 6d915f0b83 customary for 9403cc053a the lady f354a6fa59 of the f709979a8b house to 21123933aa receive guests f3a657b9f0 in the 2275febfc3 absence of 344147f32b the master. The fact that her a1f8bf03f2 daughter accompanied her, however, 605f223a15 was clearly intentional.3aa3fc4290901c18

The Baroness e0d52d4698 was in 83a2c69520 high spirits 3cc9b5b4f6 over the a090859200 Emperor’s visit. Ever since c38b36e422 Serena had 73561d61ac abruptly left dae323f7e7 the castle 6f562fbba5 the day 9f5df2b33d before, the d1d4a76993 atmosphere at cd10042c7f Vincent Castle 7636a9393b had turned f71df00b88 frigid.dabee97cbf752b2b

The Baron, unable to 9f7f750e32 contain his anger, threw 67b7803b2a objects around, and Lydia, c6e3315056 irritated by something, vented 086102cfa2 her frustration on the 326bdadd16 maids. Tyler had fled 0fc0ab9c3a the castle, leaving fb12072e77 the Baroness to 7c0a38d08c handle the aftermath.d83826a164ec10ac

And now, 366d6e5c9a the Emperor 99ac05e985 had arrived.44ad28e8f1a7c5ff

‘It must be because d89fbdeb98 of Serena, right?’067491ea043096fd

The Baroness b36ebb5c4c assumed that ff89e2336b the kindhearted a1e3b5a746 Serena had 963fb8f0c8 eventually given 71b87c2764 in to 6bf8e6b0ea the Baron’s 6a33f48cc1 plea for 155dd307e2 help.d40b9a80604c6704

Although it was d5c50a7185 unfortunate that Tyler fc520e3149 hadn’t returned, Lydia 79ba794f12 was here. She planned to 50d96e27f2 introduce Lydia first cc0b7ffac9 and then find 5187d58146 an opportunity to 8de6f8fcfa present Tyler later.baa9fa27f4643d61

In truth, 7a6665c2d7 Lydia had 4366ab4690 already been dae0547e44 captivated by 0c9696f918 Azaid’s appearance.b9c5b619ea2fcda5

This was 9d6c169fd4 her first 22dd65d1d4 time seeing 63e64b3d63 the Emperor 8ed9c8891c up close. Though she 097f39fb51 had caught d61f535387 glimpses of 1c88c3396b him at d262891d36 banquets, she de65fc48e7 had never 9e59a847ed spoken to fa1f7a4e24 him.cb62487771768aaf

‘He looks even more 33e9ebb591 handsome up close.’f5c4bda225564325

Lydia couldn’t take 2e6fbec37a her eyes off 4c6fd2b20a Azaid. It was only natural, b111c9d5d0 given that she was 87c6b03454 witnessing his radiant appearance, 8700f06294 enhanced by his transformation adb4556d3f after meeting Serina.e74a23b12c0e5240

Though Azaid found Lydia’s 44d0bac3d0 gaze unpleasant, he tolerated 375e81e2f3 it, thinking it might 69c056d120 make it easier to 593c88a8ef ask her about Serina’s a83b7c911c whereabouts. In a soft f70989bceb tone, he said:08869ce031d690f6

“Since the Baroness has f81bcb6d6a left, I’d like to 243658cdd7 ask you something privately. Can you 64cfc424bc answer honestly?”e4b7ef2f1d6b454d

Lydia beamed, mistaking his 1ea9062428 interest for something personal.

Lydia’s face briefly turned aed6d77a58 cold at the mention 8529a029f2 of Serena, but she 5f6143ec30 quickly adjusted her expression. Reflecting on 324611bd0a it, she c55ebc77e1 realized it 3712f3e73e might be e3be7f8788 more natural 0316e3c36c to broach 2951657483 the conversation 07535b04f2 with a fbb6705920 shared topic 26ac14d545 of interest bc8b2029cd than to bf0c35819b reveal her 254136cac1 feelings outright.e921cea4ce209372

Her mind raced ahead, 7659f92b28 imagining herself walking down 7f3d13955e the aisle with Azaid. Smiling, she replied:74e23baec4977dd4

Azaid paused at her 8c48e522b3 words. If Serena c1cdb42f6d had left, e74712ffe7 there was feaacc6505 little reason 52d91d6d9f for him 3180187b82 to stay 0c5c833533 longer.c0e30a14f0a223d9

Lydia added e2b90ea6cb this as 2f2deb0b9f though she a268162765 were genuinely 4026734911 concerned. But Azaid’s expression bd9d1700de grew darker as 1a9683b975 he listened, and 8f119b3705 even Leonard, standing e22cd50fd2 behind, seemed displeased.37cd59cc11e747e9
