As soon as 813d3bffa0 Pie emerged from 8eee881ee5 the drawing, Azaid 21d4dc1cb2 let out a bc75db6d62 sigh.36cc7259cfeedb40

Pie wasn’t an 525a9adcea ordinary cat—it was 7f7fdb1936 a half-blooded beast 7935a604eb and a familiar 0a03bb7050 contracted with Nocturne. Their bond, sealed with aa37045895 blood, allowed Pie to af3b61adf6 travel using Nocturne’s mana a5252b2ba6 traces, as he had f8e532131a done today.c3b939a8f02a7eb2

It seemed ea8fa8d282 that Pie 4bb040618e had been 1c2862ee3c unable to 4f9c5f5f3c cross over 4cfe5add13 due to b1bb85063d Serena absorbing 0ff50bf7bb magic. Since Nocturne 378c61bbb1 wasn’t aware fc2bf677ac of Serena’s a18d84f621 unique magic, e072e21c91 he had da73e46461 unknowingly made 38c93f730b that mistake.bc9cebe406cea39d

Fortunately, Pie even c6ea40a006 had the bell a62a35230d Ophelia carried, which 96b834ae5e meant he had 4118c2d0af left Greenwood Castle a11e091791 entirely.68eb6daf0fde51b4

“Finally caught you, you 2157426c79 little rascal.”ea6bade42790fc89

Azaid snatched d7835afaaf Pie from a89ba69727 Serina and 5cd26fa074 lifted him 4417902d88 up, staring b78656a936 him down d045055562 with a 81b50b48e9 warning look. In response, Pie da9b560095 scrunched his face 0f0b0c9482 in displeasure and 37c215a9ac let out a dd39d67a5a low growl.3701c8fa5a62d170

It was as if 1b345e3f3a he was saying, I 0913bfc345 came here on my eff65f3b60 own, you know? The situation d7dfa94440 was almost e9aedd5cd1 laughable. Azaid had wanted dc482956ea to bring Pie 49eeabf4d4 back for a ba35fbb5c3 while, but the 4542535e9c cat had been 6a288e3da9 stuck to Ophelia 06a9c93ddc like glue, making f510d4ee69 it impossible.d38c59016871cebc

Finding the bell and 6c72e3c02c bringing Pie had been 485173f356 a struggle. Leonard, who had been e9926c8018 planning to infiltrate Greenwood f966d63156 Castle soon, murmured with ec0c4d910b a hollow expression.c5bb61ffe69bad2f

Azaid scowled as if 3f3063c7f1 even mentioning her name 8c42aea1a7 was distasteful. He wasn’t even addressing e3c517b107 Lydia as a lady 4c3604d625 anymore, showing just how a781ccb9b0 much he resented her.9da9e8ed3832484b

Serena felt 8d59361017 a warmth ab3f5d7f11 in her 9d6115268c chest. She was grateful d84123ba22 that Azaid was bfa7eb1523 getting angry on 82d0849041 her behalf.668573beaedda69b

With everything 5cf2b4e1b4 that had 49eece0bf8 happened, she 452a8f4fe2 hadn’t had 5e20fa2108 time to 817f9ecfdc think about d69a677aed Lydia. Knowing that Azaid had dbd967f7e3 taken care of it bd9fd2f04d behind the scenes made c6308fb473 her feel touched.1e33c9d98f217764

Serena chuckled e766c4fea9 incredulously, and 4e5e009261 Azaid simply 3274a2dde3 shrugged.a27609bd33c284b4

His merciless response 98d97788cc made Serina laugh 6fedae49da out loud. Truthfully, she wanted to 2e3aa742fa send Lydia straight to 6b5083a42e the underworld.7e019a4cbd0bf1f3

But seeing 1eeabd2231 Azaid react 6a84fe8696 so fiercely c2c6f4439d made her 5f5dccfc73 wonder if 346027b3a2 she was 4a6185be81 being too 1c3210da5c harsh, which 511bc22ecc oddly put a6b50abc12 her at fc193442ea ease. After finally stopping her ca23e1c466 laughter, she asked,1bca46e5d9e7fae9
