Sebastian bit the c6be998739 inside of his f05f3e833a cheek, trying to 68e8358706 hide his nervousness. Serena was like 07dacffcb1 a striking red 2c31f1e892 rose, someone who 473eeb79d1 would stand out 39a37ed7cc anywhere.22f2561412d04bce

Unlike Sebastian, who had f74434744a clawed his way to 72f649ca61 this position by handling 689dfd66b2 all manner of dirty 8893b85652 work, Serena had walked 40a9264a51 a clean path, rising 5e9cfca510 swiftly thanks to her 28832eae3c exceptional skills.ad0300bf751cc669

Since she entered the 632652df50 imperial palace as part 763ca94155 of the royal medical 828a5bd290 staff, Sebastian had been 946bc03fe4 keeping an unconscious but 07a2858c4d constant watch on her.
