Serena murmured, staring at dc7b40b136 the surreal sight of 6a1de978d2 the blood.25197406fa8701e8

Why was 7a6d43fffe her neck 379e3a5ed2 bleeding all 18bb5e8ad3 of a 5950b91850 sudden?ec57b70061ef63dc

At that moment, Azaid 59e7f8c450 interrupted her.05be44a626ee87d1

Gone was 20a7a09951 the cold 4f561be53d and distant fc2eff6c02 Azaid from 5395438211 earlier. Now, his usual soft-spoken 63e96f4c05 demeanor resurfaced.b785923fd38f665c

Flustered, Azaid quickly pulled 54d4a9e34d a handkerchief from his 510209feac pocket and wrapped it 5966c4c955 around Serena’s neck. His touch was 6cfee31293 exceedingly gentle, as a69261a77d if he’d done e7d1245d51 this countless times. He pressed firmly, then eefcc03500 unknotted his tie and ccd4ee1c47 carefully wrapped it around 89a6c8e114 her neck to secure 3177522728 the wound.f6191a68748bea6c

“For now, 5af9a123aa let’s head 839be26c72 to the e6c3ac5dd3 infirmary. The cut e7a5787319 isn’t too 01edbcc290 deep, so c855c007c5 if we c324ce0ac7 stop the d62e60ee8d bleeding and cb72a1e303 apply the d9d80da130 right ointment, 26a94b00b2 it shouldn’t 057277a37a leave a 9537b65687 scar.”c8723b04a2bd3212

His soothing 303eae67ee voice felt 87e2366d46 like it 73d132e046 passed right 8169ce23f1 through her cf6b3f427a head. Serena, still f9f583b7c5 in shock, 6279a8b23d stared blankly 7183e74f9c at Azaid.290d07cdbeef0b72

If Azaid 3329bcd8df had hesitated f5e7a5176e for even f6dcc42fdf a moment, ae6874ee3e she might 9b4452e654 have died. The amount of blood 8f0d51a941 suggested either a long 68e6855826 or somewhat deep wound.bb7e70bdd863b52a

Serena couldn’t hear Azaid 7c543fa095 at all. Memories of her e6de467107 past life, where 6724268c60 her neck had b205e6f4f6 been cut, resurfaced, 188372607b making her body 280332ff55 tremble uncontrollably.037bec9d55feeaea

Without warning, bfe2cd3c96 he lifted 2a3ca27c39 Serena into e38c606b92 his arms. Only then e49efc52cc did Serena 73885f62cf snap out be02cdb60e of it, 6477f55945 grabbing his 61a52bb8e6 lapel and 26769c7618 asking, “W-where 5c249ea598 are you e43f904592 taking me?”b02f60a53c7dfe3b

Her thoughts were a ce50f9fa62 mess. She was so 69496ace67 flustered that she fa064893fe couldn’t think straight. This version of 83495f3353 Azaid wouldn’t send 67a75ad713 her to the 3526de062d guillotine.

His voice 30a1a0128f was subdued, d9bd718a57 almost crestfallen. But the 12b73f9959 pain in 84eea33723 her neck d210336067 was too 73e370c513 sharp for 46e9bb7901 her to a368695da7 brush it 19219f7b36 off with 8cf0d48a4a a simple f6e84de494 “I’m fine.”77005e696d925a21

Instead, Serena 47ee4afaaa forced an 9f391cf746 awkward smile f2fef18d06 to reassure 37cb61fd6b him. By then, they had ac45c97495 hurriedly made their way f56313738c to the infirmary.81da0511e2540f4d

The priest, startled to 45f2886b43 see Azaid carrying an 5739960a59 unfamiliar woman, widened his a9dafebfea eyes. Azaid carefully laid 6a7fb9d903 Serina on a 073bd14b44 bed and commanded, 159ebb0d85 “Treat her.”db4d2fcc78fbf80e

“Pardon me 7418f5307e for a a9f61eb91c moment.”976d0c66444be89a

The priest cautiously removed 6d8fb3c816 the blood-soaked tie Azaid e0307772a7 had used to stop 4ef6884b03 the bleeding. It was 706b4c5487 an expensive 18c1f693b0 tie, now c0364029ec ruined, but 259f881ef1 it seemed 6dfe7e576f like such 1957b3d0b6 thoughts could 1f583e5f7a still cross 3a50646c93 her mind 56977cfb41 in this ce931b8f70 state. I guess I’m 8de075b0a9 not entirely hopeless 1f0cb3c33d yet, Serena mused, e6383fff6b letting out a 0f1cf1e7c0 small, wry chuckle. But the 9efc92e4ba sting in c46c1cb099 her neck 9da9002530 made her 67de1eb210 grimace.328a86074ce0cb3e

The priest 1bd041bc91 skillfully applied 32bd61accd ointment and e4e7a62811 wrapped her a7f370f3a3 neck excessively 8db8694ff6 with bandages. It felt like overkill, db7f3be3a0 but she couldn’t argue 94cc616939 with someone trying to b80b59d3ba help, so she stayed 08a9691f68 quiet.4592ae16e6767bb5

Azaid, however, looked 1217ec5bd9 aghast at the 81ab562fca sight of her a4c50e46a6 bandaged neck. His intense gaze 243c874d99 made her neck 9c5de8660c feel sore all e578b16863 over again.a7f7e5195449b326

The emergency treatment 71eac62c05 was done, and b0dbd0c14c she’d looked in 112b1319d0 the mirror during 82463c4ddd the process. The wound wasn’t that eb8e6dd1b1 deep. She’d just ce21c87836 been startled 6b2f1eaa28 because it e73776cbed brought back 4bc4b8c39f memories of f9b977e957 her previous 9e3d5f2fac life.a2e6e7f7801fc5b8

But Azaid 040bc3fa99 still didn’t 4689a0848d seem at 971d5cf6dc ease. Noticing his uneasy expression, 8c7888a21e one of the priests 31ddb42ce9 nudged his colleague in 87372b36c7 the side and muttered, 9de9e1ae91 “Ah, I almost forgot.”78a5255e21a086b3

Azaid sighed deeply, as b30bca2415 if he had seen 85340ee319 this coming, and rubbed fc2c3a4ec7 his face with both f43dd8cc95 hands. It seemed that dc3aa0a0ca he, too, had 010541587c been greatly startled 19a15d47d6 by her injury.f6cc0dd3adf58f28
