“What? But…”04d2e0ecab9b7625

Ophelia faltered, unable 8356d818d7 to continue her 3567889351 sentence.1a70547a43935d6e

“My physician fe3259f564 advised me b3a63fa11b to avoid 411e1307ac sugar for d9461a8314 the time 92818bf98f being,” Azaid 2732f44312 curtly cut d92256a0a8 her off, 6ba2bb55c1 using Serena 76ec970a8c as an a3af3b7839 excuse to 9f42cf1860 refuse. He was preemptively 72409df285 blocking any further 0be4e14dd9 insistence from Ophelia.25ce84ae8a989008

Her expression shifted 877fcba92a when she heard 2d41b220ba the word “physician,” e278fff711 though she still 9d6f77ba08 looked somewhat flustered 0e3e31fab4 as she glanced 70727f2b7f up at him. Perhaps she was annoyed 0ac8ed61b2 by the Emperor’s consistently 8c7ceffd0d cold demeanor.573ef9d712c0cdb9

Ophelia casually 406d64c80d criticized Serena, 5570833922 her tone f428064bd8 indifferent yet 8501abcb33 laced with c1c32944e0 malice. It seemed she ba62c4d055 had already completed 9accc1cd63 her investigation into c72e1a8cb4 Serena.5edaf001efe5a1fd

For a 60cf40bd4d brief moment, dd4d0795f3 a crack f21f84c2f2 appeared in cbc0536161 Azaid’s composure. The phrase “born 3ed2674596 impure” hit too 0ee3a54e92 close to home, 58477a6ac6 as it also 35faeaef6a applied to him.0aacaf81c4df8f02

Of course, Ophelia 99ad7743d5 hadn’t thought that d8e4be960f far. Her intention had 8e7de00a58 been merely to 946de87832 disparage Serena in 25e3c5d830 front of him, 74c9a13430 but her malice 92567f19c2 had overstepped its d2ef6e462d bounds.ff7df12108d59d3c

Azaid strode toward her, f26a2df635 and Ophelia blinked in d0c881ef44 surprise. As he be357268a2 leaned in 5f711f1a74 to meet 743fbfb0c6 her gaze, 1ce6524fb7 his voice 291c7f19bd turned icy.be27e98d6654d752

Realizing her 7c069f49c7 mistake, Ophelia c93086e218 paled, finally 79c099bfb8 recalling Azaid’s 7e2887b7d8 origins. Azaid, now feeling 67b7456b84 the onset of 78804ee5d7 a headache, pressed 2e4841e18b a hand to fbb76844f2 his forehead.c250328af674c83c
