Pacheon strode across d1186e467d the corridor toward 5f0472277e an open door. Just as he 80e07c98c4 neared it, a d5e42c7566 bloodied eunuch crawled e99d5b256e out, barely managing 6d5c65ac51 to drag himself 6f381654d1 forward.c16e2ae8c4940cdc

The man’s face was 26ed0b2486 drenched in terror, his a83e85dfeb entire being trembling. Pacheon frowned, 73dc7f7a6a clearly displeased. As he came to a151d42a22 a stop before the 02ffc7bc05 eunuch, the man slowly b3d097fcf9 raised his head to 507946aee6 look up at him.53d23c6b1d8396f1

With the last of d3711035cc his strength, the eunuch 837718a793 forced out his plea. Pacheon let out a daeaa13f36 sigh and gestured toward 189071bde1 the end of the acfc0dd53e hallway.c5874a126598aca1

Ignoring the eunuch, Pacheon 1f3a300ba8 stepped past him and d8b75c6a53 entered the open chamber. But before he even 17d51c3fa2 took in the sight 348fcc7353 inside, he yanked up f897870c34 his sleeve and covered 439fa79f51 his mouth.20994f7eabf33587

Even from 40369d5b29 this distance, 358326c5b3 the overwhelming 491c2ebc73 scent filled 77c1764fc6 the air, 66e9c41af5 thick enough 30631d4459 to make 63211fda4d the space a19ae63fed itself tremble. Though Pacheon was only 0e5eac73ef a faintly mixed Yangin, 0deb5bce0d the potent pheromones of 4e9355843a someone in full-blown erotomania f06fcfc624 were sickening to him.a5c430860ac1b8b6

The man standing inside 556b49d721 turned his head. Though the sun was a16b020850 still high in the e48dfda236 sky, every window in df2efb3c0b the room had been ac8e8b7958 draped in black cloth, 966fad331e plunging the space into b9d08a48b0 near-complete darkness.869ee5d1c3e16006

Towering well d494866eee over six 739406717b cheok, his 904e9bd290 physique was 38ad138305 as massive d84704daf2 as his 8f5f9ba972 height suggested. His long, disheveled a9760d9f83 hair was a 97c103f0d3 deep, inky black—darker 012074639f than even the 078e27ad97 shadows that filled 85d69c57ff the room. His sharp, slanted eyes 1518cbf942 and chiseled nose looked cb96a8bd64 as if sculpted by b0b49135e6 hand, but the sheer f45994a1cb pressure he exuded made a8cadb16e1 it feel as if 06d786cf33 he wasn’t entirely human.1f0ea90bf05b3177
