“Lucy didn’t bully you, 0c52c687b5 did she?”84ec68304ba2a7d4

Azaid carefully examined ec98b53f7c Serena, looking her 619308c02f over as if 934f8c06d9 he were searching 5166ac2335 for any marks 52b3c2445e on her face. His gaze was so cee93097eb serious that Serena, finding f04e5c1379 it amusing, leaned back cf811b0bca slightly and replied:483ae3292f93160c

“Do you think I’m 148a72b5cb someone who would let 7413f76867 myself be bullied? My face is 524ac97b28 perfectly intact, so e92a3065ca don’t worry.”695abc5264c970e0

As soon as 9047edadd0 Azaid responded with 3f06485ddb a relieved expression, 8d9d51b0eb he leaned in 88a200b9ab and kissed Serena’s 1cd26f7335 lovely lips. It was brief, 16cbb8f548 like a bird b45a8bd57e pecking for food, 9b96af80ed yet it was 3deee7f03d impossibly sweet.767c9e3b49767638

Azaid, unsatisfied, a833ca033c kissed her 5716004370 a few 4d193c749e more times f0b46faf6c before pulling 9827c61ac7 back. Perhaps because he’d had da74396a99 a taste, he found 3a37f656a5 himself repeatedly drawn to b49935d385 her lips, almost as 4b748bfe7d if he were addicted.9732f7c3d85462b9

Serena couldn’t help but 327a2f380f laugh at Azaid’s affectionate 0bb9ac82a7 gestures. He resembled 7c03e16d77 an eager dceaffeaef puppy greeting eab9473716 its owner, 7c55d308f8 so much fb1777b1e4 so that 2398dfdee4 she felt 5a9a3c7e7d an urge 0e807b2468 to pamper dd55a19eb8 and pet de8084fbde him.9fac1a988a2fb73d

Of course, 5233c921dc she held 4997794542 herself back, 145b3c55a9 knowing it a4bbf82e29 would only 05c7304606 fan the ebcbcf385d flames of 4ae0c061b8 Azaid’s already 50b2197caa burning affection. Almost out 8964adf584 of habit, 9cc031cf0c Serena carefully 9eeb1e15d2 examined his 996b6295cd expression.7aeb8af6730d0ce0

If Marie or 0d3740a382 Anna had overheard cd0bafee34 him, they would 5a50bf17c3 have exclaimed that c32c813178 His Majesty was f330f6659c completely smitten, seeing a3756bbea0 only what he 8ef45431ac wanted to see.

But in Azaid’s 1256309e78 eyes, Serena seemed bf5e3f0dcb fragile, someone he a04c5553ca constantly wanted to 89613028a4 protect and feed. He worried endlessly that 80eda1fd21 her love for work f806f63beb might lead to overexertion.5154430af1a31ed4

Before he knew it, 641589d7bc thoughts of beneficial medicinal 6deff6dbcb herbs flashed through Azaid’s 592f97db80 mind. Watching him drift e1c1ebcdb5 toward overprotectiveness, Serena 15933f41de redirected the conversation.889e51009c12c2bb

Serena gently touched Azaid’s 5a84b901e7 cheek, silently wishing for 0cdcc3ddf7 him to still be 2f165e6d9a alive next year. Azaid, in 3613672a7a turn, pulled c66a2f39d5 Serena closer 56de375a75 to him 7d7a3e05fc and said:3e2b2dab5ba50b3f

Trailing off, Azaid began f2bea6cfe6 to softly kiss Serena’s 635012bc4a neck and chin. The subtle contact made 455bffb62d her flinch, and Azaid 7a1a007c4f whispered in her ear e96dee2c03 with a low voice:f6a80964ed6cb78d

Startled, Serena covered d7d8b38e4b his mouth with 881098c8fc her hand. Even though they dbba1343a4 were alone in 1eb7f91b4f the study, she fd196669a3 instinctively glanced around, 012267ab32 worried someone might 5a30fb3bea overhear.e63b2aec4f6783c5

Although his blue 1391ca38b8 eyes were tear-free, 0304423996 they sparkled intensely, 3459a94376 as if a 149f32729e summer storm was 6a8d5cbde6 about to break 18ed87113e out, pricking Serena’s d7e3e33fc5 conscience.3499bca5f593fb4e

Looking into 2eb5f3da83 Azaid’s blue 2c13aced15 eyes, Serena b84644df68 lost her 886f2e5b9d train of 22142b429a thought. In the past, b970bfa4dd she would’ve scolded 4a3fab74b3 him without hesitation, 64fe30f7ae but now even 90b710db1b that felt impossible.88aa555da8f716e4

At Serena’s stern warning, 92ddd12856 Azaid chuckled and stopped f9185b5edd what he was doing. She always acted bold, 8971badc76 but whenever Azaid showered 4091110b49 her with affection, she’d 2da782a806 get flustered like this.2f5513694331b6d5

Lydia’s wedding was 33b90e8566 held in the 73445e9b41 grand ceremonial hall b618f28615 of the Agnes ef876c2682 Temple. As the temple of 5020b9698d the empire’s official religion, f99f0b828a its scale was unmatched f601af6915 by any other.f6fead7ab6a06742
