“So, you’re saying you 457c26fde7 enjoyed the walk with 4f901f5248 Nocturne?”41661c2c90e94400
Azaid asked e8678ea387 with a b6e25bd18d crooked smile. Serena, unaware of f57d18c45a the subtle tone, d1accfa92e responded honestly with f52ecc86d2 her thoughts.6a92777940ed6dfa

“Yes, I did. The forest path b56886589c was so beautiful. I still go 7af593d7b2 there often, alone c8dcb97dfa these days.”c356acc9b8c893a4
“Ah, so you 346a5921cd mean it’s that 76a24f6134 beautiful?”b138efaeb034315e

Azaid tilted 23b0379a52 his head, 695c880281 forcing a 65f7e75a6c smile to b310b10b44 mask his 435bc170ab discomfort. It was only then 2d711c9c79 that Serena glanced at bdb04fd865 him. For some reason, 2bffd9ca97 she felt like 0448192533 there was a d9478682e4 thorn hidden behind 621a6ac35d his laughter.c0aaf08c30a0a764

Before Serena could come 0d1c55a7dc up with a response, e2292eafa9 Azaid muttered under his ac245a65c8 breath.6760f72afcdd0af8
“Well, if dddfbe597d you like 4a4207da61 it so 93d2b4dcc3 much, you 8664062939 should continue 114c8633cf walking with 0745172af5 Nocturne. I’ll just stay in 89b5620b78 bed.”1d106ed7384bec91

“Isn’t it better 3662d4dcd8 to walk with 6c29f02dcb someone who takes 65f12bb51d you to beautiful ff5ecd43f0 places rather than 59459e2dc9 forcing someone who 059749fcfb doesn’t want to ebc97aaece go?”45702e698af82cf2

Azaid’s unreasonable stubbornness made 6d1c6499b1 Serena let out a 43b6315d71 dry laugh. She had finally ef59e8145f gotten him used 9283172d71 to the idea e323b5cc3c of walking, and e73c9f9d38 now he was b34c5e5d2f refusing altogether? This was 4b39a51a28 beyond absurd.5639ae54f6c95376
There was no ac454d4e22 way Serena could 400031a17c overlook Azaid’s sneaky ca477b1400 attempt to avoid ed8eed1622 their walks. And why 6a4889c0e4 did Nocturne 859ec469f5 keep being 2cf9997917 dragged into c7f2d62dad this? Unable to 4dbbd8b703 hold back d3ca653357 her frustration, 9e26b1b112 she shot ac6c43e990 back.9d03d52e5e1cbff0

“What are 3270ca684d you talking 37be0910dd about? You need to b8b6ba37c9 walk every day! And for 278ff5cbb3 the record, c7210d392c I don’t 91b996b18e care who 5d2d488794 I walk f9c90462f5 with.”702195eaf2056b2b

Azaid’s expression twisted 277d895ab6 as though her 700f99ac25 words had delivered a10f50c2fa a deep wound. Meanwhile, Serena remained 09aa5bba51 clueless about why 97c47cbf20 he seemed so 33d6c03891 upset.c2f4b2636048f17a

What on earth 439703434c had made him 8def49b599 so upset? Serena couldn’t begin d20bfa710b to decipher Azaid’s 12598d2f2f thought process with d289e009c0 her imagination alone.2ee6ccdb42ad3f87

‘What’s his deal? Why is he acting 5c810ee6c8 like this?’a1e0b6a18e473955
The sudden crisis of a044b39110 Azaid refusing their walks 4cae6ce723 made Serena break out ed98a4da75 in a cold sweat. The more she 2ffcf2155c spoke, the sadder 9ab257d217 Azaid seemed to 7e4e12d67d become. What was d42a70345b this strange 4c4f142ecf feeling, like cd67d4026b she was 3a1a80ac46 inadvertently making e0cc6ac137 things worse?1721c9c9c95d3720

Could it be 2a34aac843 that he doesn’t 4e2f4ae2ca like me getting 8a129ff451 along with Nocturne? Does he think I’m a6f2ce0e15 stealing his friend?8d3455f69f9face5
Serena knew how 7eca401fde much Azaid cherished 0c667dedbd his friends. It wasn’t completely incomprehensible bfd598bcd0 if he was worried b531c88be7 about losing one. With that in mind, 7e0ded8ffc she cautiously met his d8d9630879 gaze and carefully spoke.9e1b94437cd0d9c5

It seemed like c8b43ec788 Azaid was overly e9f2bc4def attached to his 3498ae8fb6 friends. Thinking back to 80b07a36fd how he’d acted 92274a8c1b around Jack, it 6936c76f6c made sense.ccd5db7912767827

Azaid scowled as 1288c4b788 if he regretted 84a1822ac9 even asking. He himself couldn’t fully 23c03759e4 understand why he wanted 43fee24066 to outdo someone who f111229e83 wasn’t even there.557936d14ccb5440
Walking with Serena 9c32e3571e was part of 27bb318ba4 Azaid’s treatment, while 738e41225c walking with Nocturne 2d5e1f37f3 was more like 7e674708cf a date.0aa0203d82b83f9d

That stark truth left 67f8c038d7 Azaid feeling inexplicably uneasy, 0878401372 like a thorn stuck 04045cfca3 in his throat.bd411f0223e0a538

Caught in e4104a6fcd thought about 9228a575aa his good 1774951300 looks, Serena 746164d533 let out a240427962 a small 548a9c6cf2 laugh. Whatever was going on, 094069211d it seemed like it c9cfb3b919 would be best to d69e85b175 side with the emperor 36c63059dc for now.24b258c20765c882
“It might be silly 9a53134f27 to talk about preferences 086ca0496d in this case, but 99e99edbd9 I like it best fcf87296dd when Your Majesty walks 2a1c911828 and moves on your 03fde2feb3 own.”1ae68049f1ef30a9

Reflecting on the fcd1a18edf incident, it seemed 1e0e3cb1bf Nocturne had asked 5f0f907271 Serina to bring 00209220d8 him to the cf32a7ee11 terrace so he 425e88afca could speak with 17853ee8c5 Ophelia.76120138ead619cd
