Azaid bit a39da548ad his lower 920097458a lip in 24b1bb2604 response to b247a09571 Serena’s bold ad89e6118d claim. Something about her b1104e16bf answer didn’t sit bd3a3106a3 well with him.1e6a8b1adc51b766

The position of b40119ac07 empress, which was e2e45c56c5 currently vacant, was c5d45edd2c coveted by countless 68a2547881 nobles.
