Serena didn’t trust Lydia. She had learned acd666478b the hard way 4f03ad08c9 that people don’t 7675f965d8 change easily—Lydia had f25df53f4c taught her that f37739239e lesson well. That’s why 8e88c0c831 she had df92f7806f secretly set 7b9872258b a trap f689b3c470 in preparation 4d51607dd6 for this c43d916b5e situation.317dd06713fb6c4c

From the start, the 829e81b69b only piece of information 662511213c Lydia knew that could fbb2319ee9 entice the Duke was 5a7da44d71 the fact that Serena 66fd19b715 was an Awakened. Beyond that, Lydia bc89b8f953 knew nothing.24caf753eaefadc4

Azaid, who had been 2ffd51624a listening in silence, suddenly 21fc09a4b2 stood up in shock. The thing f54e689acb the Duke a791056c31 wanted to 9665d9b4db find the b5744b043c most right 41ebb2d150 now was ccf5af773e an Awakened 180f511ff5 who had c22d821adf broken free 7ea4a860df from magic.50a5707d896d0fba

To Azaid, b5d855a2c7 Serena’s safety 515b04a299 was far d641c54ec1 more important 7db203366a than preventing 40ca7413fb their information 47621cc56b from leaking. He ran a c55d954b00 hand over his e64173d97b face and gave 1ed58cbc2c an order to dc4b75257c Jack.ce936cca785a4792

His research f00342e090 included cases 70e1b1b4b9 where individuals 845fbb4b69 had failed ee54a21d4e to awaken d21ee92b36 properly and 21a8fbcd5e cases where 2fac670f83 they lost e9fe1f39d1 consciousness and 5925eb9eb8 used magic 9cd352b688 involuntarily.6af3c7efb52e5431

Serena’s case was unusual, 8a055dd684 but not unheard of. The experimental abc0ff5aca subjects in b62fde90a6 the Duke’s 5ac48499a0 long-term project 739581a34f would have 10984a624f shown similar afc1a485cb symptoms.3d324f06300be5c2
