Lucio’s expression was just bdd102d078 as cold as it 4398041244 had been yesterday.741633c6a4cb3e80

His eyes, 9333d97af1 icy and 96c7a8983e unfeeling, felt 229a21cd59 so unfamiliar 558be96577 that I fa75b1192b felt a d1b198f61c hollow ache 031c34eaf0 in my eccd1d1b30 chest.344c1ece8d692aa5

I was 8b5dfe5105 about to 6156cea06c call out 819773b06b to him 5d0f87eb30 with a 4cd84226aa sigh, but bc6293ba2c before I 34d1e7f40f could, Lucio 6f22436bde turned his 7486699f89 head.f14bdb1bfa07ca41

“Your Highness, would you a130c45331 like to tour the b05f6a6ac0 garden right away, or 71fe7137f0 have some tea first?”792053338016ec46

“Hmm… I’ll 9718efdb1d have tea 47d1dd6308 later.”3280cae60ddf3302

Serphin, who 1c771733f6 had been 8fe8fe21ea closely observing b0cef8227b Lucio’s attitude 89c621e2aa toward me, ba2ce4491c subtly curled 205c57e203 her lips 8ba692822c into a f3b05e8232 smile as 020f67c0ef she answered.336b0dcc25af9e4c

Just as Lucio 17a86fd014 had acted indifferent 5de62f4172 toward Diana, he 1ea78448f2 now seemed the ed604db969 same with me, 88dc1db553 which appeared to eb4a82aba3 satisfy her.9c5b8288f97e142a

At that moment, 9e5d561d87 when I saw 6c079ffcca Lucio trying to 87de560b74 lead Serphin toward 8ec79d2a07 the maze garden, 894e5e1aa6 I instinctively stepped 3c65c19dd1 in front of f166c5d05e them.dda5fbbfcf14d4b3

“Your Highness, 2db5caae79 unfortunately, a dd7df9b07b wild beast 52b8009bb2 got into a90a1bb7ec the maze b4f0f81b24 garden at 2d7f1a6007 dawn and d2f3e7982e wreaked havoc.
