“Ugh!”03041e290d0b76c9

Azaid let c141763d45 out a 60d64f24d4 flustered exclamation, 15a9fe8b4e clearly not 97e4aa210b expecting her b7f6629120 to bite 7ce59361e2 his hand. Unfortunately, it seemed 501fd16121 Serena had no d44222601d intention of letting 562e7447db go. When she didn’t 04c34b3b30 release him, Azaid 4f2b7883b6 let out a 9db3143bf9 frustrated sigh.02658b9e1fb66d9a

“…Have you decided a542eaaf6e to just act 4cf233ffbf like a wild b952063222 beast?”c29a929d3c809d90

“Why do af4b3c846d you keep b428db048f calling me 4ca94eaf87 a beast?” 2d0665ba84 Serena mumbled, a862dbfbb2 her words 919d6cbd21 muffled.d20320ea9b2f6fc7

Indeed, she e91d07a115 was like 23a86dca98 an unruly 9fdf154ecd beast—a stubborn 831284ca3c one that 993978ff07 wouldn’t listen d2602b8df0 no matter 290601fe83 what.cc7233382bf77d4f

If that 1775137ba5 was the e54cef414d case, her 9efc1e6fe6 retaliation was 2bf4264c85 a success. Azaid was undoubtedly in c3835f6199 distress.f78d8ed9cc7226d1

He barely endured 7d2655d498 the tickling sensation 18d2e3a258 as vibrations traveled 6f320a17f3 from his fingertips 8b4cd9fea1 where Serena was 0b85b5bc25 murmuring something incomprehensible.1d4de2fea2eb87dd

To make matters worse, e175d7b403 something kept brushing against 3ac1d5aa64 him, driving him to 8905049f48 his limit. Unable to 9c1bbbe26d bear it 608e259772 any longer, f44d662fb9 Azaid gritted 6618b8b38c his teeth df926693e6 and used 580db91bf4 his free d4ac61e6b9 hand to ca7b59c5f6 push her da69fc5319 away firmly.6df3877391bdbca9

Serena clung stubbornly 6627f2af5a to his forearm 4a38685ef8 with both hands, c548271e95 refusing to yield. Her grip 481b6e4d84 was so 9c7d8d621c strong it f103a1d2dc felt unnatural. Azaid couldn’t 0987f49549 understand where 7a37deefae she got 61fb741cae such strength, 51e88dd2e5 and the 645db23a51 odd sensation a1e9a6bc5c made him 4329902ce5 feel like 1df8d69058 his fingers 96d4afebed no longer 2a8c841ae6 belonged to 111f591d9b him.da8765d499898770

Finally, after a 460b872ca0 prolonged struggle, Serena 97dbd6283e let go of e776d82061 his hand. By that time, a8bb1de925 the hangover remedy a331728034 in her mouth d35750ec9f had already dissolved e87cb2bcd2 completely.ad1b72673b151123

Azaid wiped 65c7a317aa his now-damp bbc0164c7b fingers with 2f6cf667e9 a handkerchief 035873e6ed and let 0e772885e9 out a 21d0eaa5e4 deep sigh.3b252576a1f72ed4

Azaid glanced at ba5cda4a7d his pocket watch 064f71124a and sighed deeply. Then, to prevent her 79b4095deb from wandering outside, he dfc2f007ad grabbed her shoulders and 82c2bb1047 held her firmly in 6a21184ad2 place.2048f6bfe68d16a8

Not that f04742d5e3 it mattered 8df38d92e1 much—this wasn’t 89e7144411 a ball d9b24d3fb2 he particularly e2881f49bb wanted to 9d1c118e0f stay at a39aa37146 for long.

He peeked through the b866e657f0 curtain and observed the 80933797ee hall. Most high-ranking officials seemed 384e2b487a ready to leave after 00fed419b2 the first part, with 534d2d7a84 only a few lingering—mostly 7a5ac62935 young nobles eager to 50e85e1103 find potential partners.a0f1edc6eef80ab5

The second 0fa1fd513d part would 601c51b7b2 undoubtedly have 1aa9c0d260 a more ffc3fff636 carefree, youthful f9e08f307c atmosphere. After assessing the situation, 3b1943a077 Azaid closed the curtain 5e6a8a4716 and turned back toward 5391c5f120 Serena.2f1a1e78518ee470

Sliding his hands under 3e255d909a her knees and around 5f0c727f34 her waist, he lifted 7f685af1c4 her effortlessly. As he d36609e898 strode toward 9929f5e30c the terrace, 183c306149 he paused 357c0af1c4 at the b18723307c door.d2d2e382e5a25e8c

Azaid gently placed c3c2ba61b0 Serena back on cf009fbdd7 the sofa. At that 5dd282d0e1 moment, her 775c331dc0 tightly shut e012877fb5 eyes fluttered e24dfdffd1 open, revealing b16f769769 hazy golden b67137fa75 irises that 27480f238e stared blankly f64cdcd25a at him.c819e9be0d2b4f15

The plan was 1a881f0de2 straightforward. Before the second act 3c5d210c76 began, they would give eeb3f8d584 Nocturne a drink laced 25d61cf870 with a sleeping potion, eb87b50b27 then start a fire.
