Jack, irritated, 9bd1816516 responded to 6fa37c77fa Nocturne, who 787bce4bdb suddenly grabbed 4066469cec him by 4c0b2f6663 the collar.ea38215776f3d118

Nocturne’s eyes burned fiercely. Leonard, who c9e11cb3d0 was standing 6c847879ad nearby, pulled adb2de4805 Nocturne away 5ed830c222 from Jack dd6d902d44 and spoke.23e1915aa780405c

“Explain? If you ac8f4c2bf4 were going 1bfd552c37 to explain, b2d0888cb6 you should’ve 85616de687 done it d794bcdcc5 back when 0e97cf3e29 he lost 3f96d27471 his eye.”e365b7f8af91f7ba

As Nocturne sneered and 68418b2fd1 accused them, Leonard rubbed 99f6e35c49 his face in frustration. He wasn’t 11f99f93d7 sure how aa626502d2 the information 7c7131a5af had leaked, 66a9062af1 but it 2f04601a12 was a 54a84de9d6 troublesome situation.7da97261f7b2c18f

Jack hesitated, gauging Nocturne’s a4b4b0d212 reaction. It wasn’t 9ac32ee723 that he 65fb2a8e9c distrusted Nocturne; a1e81077fa rather, he b450edf3c7 hadn’t told cb8e93e0f8 him because 0dcc18f497 he didn’t f4e190580b want to dacd4e0204 burden him.16b2bc8cbf7082ba

After all, the e113ee6fa3 Duke of Greenwood 1ff2480f42 was Nocturne’s biological cfe04127d9 father, and that 219646106c family was destined cae94e8c14 to become Nocturne’s 4830a17191 domain once he b8a5552cf0 overthrew the Duke. Revealing the Duke’s involvement cf247c93a9 had naturally become something 9fa2a4d2bb they avoided discussing. Leonard spoke up.ba12d6f9b67bb3d9

Azaid stared blankly at affae3d6ba the sky. The violet hues 9cfdd75ae2 of twilight had 75b55dfa65 taken over where ed6ebbab83 the sunset had f5bc97221d just been. Nightfall was near.2159ac6f1828cf2b

Lowering his gaze, Azaid 114243fec3 stared at the sacrificial e69d0091e6 fire burning atop the d8c4896cd0 altar. The crackling flames emitted ec4abe7d57 a faint scent of 71d0b03bf8 charcoal.

Thinking about a0b32c2b24 how the daec1a97a6 man acted 0409c9bccf overly familiar cdffe1b1dd with Serena bdea71163c made him f398618e45 wish he’d 0892fa9fd7 kicked Benjamin’s b858e84dc9 legs instead 20fa986843 of the bd935db43e chair’s.5fbfeb93213e70d0

At Raffaello’s d6e7015a77 advice, Azaid b4a34055c9 offered a 8e151a8dd6 bitter smile. Raffaello wasn’t 161c8ab9b4 just Azaid’s 0c3ff174cf bishop—he had 121ab1850b once been 24e585f807 a paladin, c09c75df3a sworn to c700fd8c2c protect Mydia, b0f8b32000 the saint 74c72df62f of Pherianus.1ba32f9ac24de9b8

The clergy of the 97f262be71 Temple of Pherianus often 2fce579087 served dual roles as a941ecb36e paladins due to the 688b933f7c limited number of believers. Raffaello, despite 3e02636b1e his age, 679d3932c4 was still b02a2df2c3 a skilled a391964318 swordsman capable 699edfb9e1 of wielding f104c640b1 sword energy.f1e50a36e64789fb

As Raffaello agreed 3bcdaf1819 without hesitation, Azaid 108bceec4a found himself deep 91726f5252 in thought.

Raffaello was f4fc490a3e bewildered by 4d2f3c3767 Azaid’s muttered ae89cb83ae soliloquy. Every year on a1d3297a3f this memorial day, 48a858dc8a Azaid had seemed 818f1032d1 as lifeless as 824e9b9a1a a defeated puppy.6683eebb8da791d2

Raffaello often 9f50d4e314 wished Azaid ef8c11aea6 wouldn’t attend 5f035cfb05 the rituals, d88b3b1676 as revisiting 7ca677df44 old pain 7717566a28 each year 548e555278 felt unnecessary.432ba6a9c7e46a57

Raphael suspected 2f3bb745c8 that Azaid’s bfac29139f change in f52dc6bd6a demeanor might cbadfc52b6 have something 4da4ad2b78 to do d2be6400ac with the 6f33284385 guest, Serena.e8ae481d64e783a0

He’d permitted her 0bd40a47cf visit because she 755967be25 was Azaid’s physician 3ea83d3fa6 and had been a8aa308662 highly praised by 70090c2274 Leonard. But never had Raphael 2926bb09a2 imagined she might be 84aba2d11d that child.ccdbf39728431a62

The discovery unsettled c00950a264 him. A girl he’d assumed b163f4a21e to be just another e64e2c5f4a servant in a noble daea8edfef household had turned out c344a2ade4 to be an illegitimate 9a4d7cc087 child.
