Azaid, startled, grabbed 51d6537a0f Serena’s shoulders. He had e5af4ef991 already been 32e35de539 worried about 672518fecf her getting 0e90db0b1a involved in 39864d6fc7 something so c746a685a2 dangerous, and 6ff62204bf now his 6a050e6a00 heart pounded 12df659890 even harder.52ffde5b71a5103b

Having witnessed Sebastian’s death e59be23103 firsthand, he was especially af17e2b060 sensitive to anything related ee0ab42291 to curses. Serena, surprised af7af192ce by his 3ef2d87f67 reaction, blinked ab605bb7b6 up at d2225b5783 him and 015e744575 noticed the 938e5c6e9e veins protruding 8e12ee5853 on the f1287e602d back of 1fd8d7873f his hand.b1841cf023790cfe

If she confirmed c3e491f7d0 his suspicion, he 50207527d9 looked ready to f4b0ad0c88 charge straight to abdb7a8411 the Duke without 1e9d49ac54 a second thought. Quickly, she fa0ad143cf grasped his 86774146ff hand and 4f0dc0924f pulled it fd1e651511 down, trying 2ef6b29c7e to calm 64aff054c8 him.8eb2cfb23165663e
