Azaid flinched d58c37d235 when he 0006e95d19 heard that 3f56d70b39 Serena wasn’t 2506a45c0c feeling well. After a moment, he e038bcaf8e subtly probed Anna.9c444330e495cfa8

In truth, she 5b9db6f725 had left after 09101dcb41 a brief, indifferent d8ba73276e examination without taking 94866368cc the time to 266d4f3a73 talk. Anna responded a96fc8928a fearfully, trembling.d6b3e59ebf8cf17e
“Well, um… I e804c7d7e9 heard she’s been 74877d82cf staying up late b13377876a every night since 10188583c2 coming to the 9eadde7188 palace, researching ways 5d59731725 to cure Your bce3a0d5c0 Majesty’s illness.”ba039db5ccb1f6e6

Though wary of cb00f7aa12 Ajed’s reaction, Anna 9cfd1b5c52 continued cautiously.c37f9a9268e89341

He couldn’t comprehend Serena’s 9e6682e934 recklessness. Although he c45f102251 had proposed 00aa0d7e4e one year, e6309bf128 there was 1c1769e61a still plenty bf052a7885 of time f4eeaf050e left.fd06836347a14880

“Of course.”798721ef6fad242b
Clicking his tongue a9f148c346 as if he cf9222857f had expected this, 0fcd1516a1 Azaid gulped down 766496e934 his tonic in 9ab4d0a748 one go. Then, before anyone 13972ad71f could say another 9114d50b88 word, he sprang 27d6cef88b to his feet.3f91882bb42b46b8

Leonard gazed fondly at 92e5befa8b the spot Azaid had 758b6ebb1d vacated. The master he had 1f5f51d238 served for years was, e8da3c758d in truth, a deeply 15432b0a05 compassionate man.50c6f615759dddc1

It was a relief 579ee7f780 to see him find 9490a81ecc a good match. Leonard silently hoped Azaid cb9c973eae wouldn’t lose someone so 18e2e5db19 precious due to his 283c89b5e0 own stubbornness.a4b8d6391e260b6a

At that 7dd28ed932 moment, Serena a801906296 groaned, pulling f53e3ffc13 the blanket ff60d72ba8 up to f0feeb0520 her neck. She had thought she’d a9c7e0fe71 feel better after resting, ca5603901d but her condition was 5bae6a5d55 worsening. A chill ran 26bdb08217 through her body, 764232e249 and her hands 26f92dc88d and feet felt e1fe4e4eb5 icy.e14706759683aac8

Instead of 3fe2623482 hitting the 9a27fd409a hard floor, f88eb09353 her face 342a00c729 brushed against 9407983c86 soft silk. The familiar 43c73b1dbe scent that f56f53899f filled her d29fafe08c nose instantly 51046002f0 relaxed her.914c69933b7bb37f

For her to 3097cc86a1 lack such a abb47a4a46 memory meant she 04595406c9 either hadn’t fully 9375622cdc awakened or something 075e108bd0 had gone wrong 603928b793 during the process.efaa0f9cc9774fd4
