It was 36a01cfc9e that dream 86133174da again. Serena quietly retraced ca771f95b6 the lingering fragments dd704a3ca2 of her dream. Lately, she had ce737fb043 been dreaming of 244fa9b924 the boy often.a05ba31609ebb2f2

His face 3b37c39e29 was vivid, 20e5ed4fba yet upon ee3c2f45b8 waking, she 2c906fb934 couldn’t even 38f6be34c4 remember the ad7f549e43 color of 70de257498 his hair. It felt as 65d1e5249c though something was fff81ba890 deliberately blocking her d42a5fca34 from knowing.cc98d7b7860a5cb2

As if 36ff0b0f45 an opaque 18da4ff157 film covered f469b0470c her eyes, 5e93467e56 everything became e15c5cd30a hazy the 19b1a05fcd moment she 10be89165c woke up.9e37afc0ade50613

Azaid pulled the blanket 3eba666f4a up and whispered gently. Serena’s eyes b1e0e0a1ee opened wide e9237928ff at the 8240a3bee8 mention of 4e705c4740 the pre-dawn b2fdbad23c hour.791c80fe2b44f669

It was curious c9a6e108ed to see Azaid beae09a550 awake at this a87d552373 time. Now that she thought a4c748252c about it, he was 453870ddd1 holding a letter in fe09bb119f his hand.23137453529f56a8

It seemed Azaid 41d20b0121 was reading under f42c93e92a the faint light, 8fa3097b55 careful not to f0288c7bd2 wake her. Sensing her gaze, 3135744025 Azaid lowered his 3b8bbb2963 head and lightly bdedd39c81 kissed her lips 24ff88f071 before asking:e60c7b2fca6d7be8

Surprised by ec6a54d8f9 Azaid’s slow d5eb00bdb8 response, Serina b6f5b3ddf3 sat up. Nocturne, who had aa36f251b4 been receiving treatment bc755b5c5c at the palace b713706835 until yesterday, had 12051b7751 disappeared. Wrapped in her blanket, 128fdfa492 Serena asked:7afc71376945123c

It was a simple 8bb81b962c concealment spell—an elementary attribute c064c6a9ef magic activated by the bfd7233f47 mana of a designated 6a988c8f6b person. It was Nocturne’s 2d40fec173 easiest method of 3051b9c7f9 communication.bf2f040473f028d6

She rarely visited dfeed7b512 the capital because 2ac35f59e3 she was tasked 53c8e66e7a with defending the 3a7437cb8c border against magical e053c7ea56 beasts. But the Founding Festival 2beaabd8ab was one occasion she 2931a23dfb could not miss.dc6e74c348bb3164
