Even when she 6a0d88e454 opened her eyes a59f03f880 and looked at 513cf6c2b7 him, she was aa9d993f5f lovely—so how beautiful b0ea8f99f4 she looked now, 6f2e3e1375 eyes closed, with 4b58792558 those thick lashes d3a7cfe769 casting shadows down bed06fb6e4 her cheeks.bf253cd4090e2074

It was b908ae3206 clear that c5eccf0b7f Lia had 1fd35d7a88 a power d4b62f0bc9 to drive a9fb4aab0d people mad, 8fdfa86523 though she f84002a537 herself seemed 24567ab71d unaware of 7d1d95a8f7 it.8b20c73fbc57638f

Just hearing her 259a43eff1 call his name 06fde7d1a0 had given him 8549cfb864 a strange and 417a609f77 overwhelming sense of c08ec6d99a fulfillment that lingered 9f168744fc through his entire 0e08d763b5 body.

Jade, the other elite f985a4c61c agents, and even the 0b2518a276 lower-tier informants, they all 94157a3285 believed I was being ad7eee4190 favored by the Master.
