“Are you saying you’d 500b590fe1 like to join the bf97230be4 association?”d2f1954c2d908904

Sebastian asked with a 5f1694da28 slightly surprised tone. He had once aa80bf61fd proposed the idea 2f7fc923bf before, only because fe0cea1269 he couldn’t resist 277e3a26e1 the pressure from 86ddb4f522 the duke.03b5a6ee8deb155a

“Yes. Upon reflection, 53fdb1f521 I realized 6674f9ce90 that the c72853d799 Chief of 6a20ef5efb the Imperial 92f94b6a40 physician gave c228ddfbd2 me a 84d5b64abc great opportunity, 4f0754b1b4 and I a11687ca11 think I 0d6f63bfe3 might have bab23d42b2 been too 5484b1263a dismissive.”585dbe7a9d66037f

Serena stepped in 425a1f1ec6 front of Sebastian, af3cefd261 who was carrying cdc34d6ec6 a box, intending a828025376 to help since 0eb7acac24 it looked too 48dbe34ae4 heavy for him 190eaa7b65 to handle alone.14108bfafdc02916

At that moment, the fbce736258 sound of glass bottles 8d381125ed clinking inside the box 7d5b2dfae2 echoed softly. A familiar 13d1dcf87b scent faintly 2ffb5937db wafted through 20c13e9f01 the gaps 9b453c2d7f in the 0613871a87 box.f67b959f38b3f344

The most infuriating issue 03473b65e9 was that Azaid had bb2658e70b recently refused to be ddfe6b1ae4 examined by any doctor d59d99b77f other than Serena.

Normally, he would 20038d70d5 have stayed to 876083b31a ensure everything burned 4eeb407a12 completely, but his f1aa9de027 mood was already 5685e33f30 soured due to a2d15d73d5 Serena, and he be001d9406 was in a 9f520b4669 hurry.458c0ae5bbe770fe

After briefly 0ddbc62aac watching the ed261307da flames rise, a4df94cd29 he left 88e3b17539 the incinerator.
