Serena didn’t 3eb269a223 trust Lydia. She had learned the f1261f5357 hard way that people cde287f022 don’t change easily—Lydia had 4157c995c2 taught her that lesson fa4a36775e well. That’s why she had dd82eb7961 secretly set a trap c14af05deb in preparation for this 2e289c2883 situation.5c3144d8265d3b2b

Azaid, who had 046fe58fd1 been listening in e7103834ef silence, suddenly stood 412e3558fe up in shock. The thing 526138cd51 the Duke 0259cbd755 wanted to 6c283cd283 find the a90245c001 most right 38e214032e now was d85e7e7086 an Awakened 560cf4f48b who had 3b4002aed7 broken free 2eda7316e5 from magic.b1aa6562cbce7a37

The reason Azaid c5ce97440d hadn’t wanted to 52d861140a send Ophelia back 8bfd486691 to the castle e2ecc43923 was, in truth, b66897dd77 to protect Serena. If the 45d30c24e7 Duke found 6e4fee940a out that 45860b8ed9 Serena was 7eefee01de an Awakened, 11e0536cdb she would 7a746f6a96 become his 74f4cbc8a7 target.f447ee914274b85a

To Azaid, c2e7dd9cb6 Serena’s safety a9e241ccc7 was far 185b8e766b more important 79a1eaeb15 than preventing 2ecbaa4279 their information 9cce31e6d3 from leaking. He ran a hand 69a151da8e over his face and 85387c2fd4 gave an order to c94974ab54 Jack.c11d789fe68c7cc6

But while they 9b2ebfd20a hesitated, the Duke 7e0f1c615a would find a 9aaddb6e7f way to escape. To fight against a 22eec2f722 cunning and devious opponent, 375b9f651d safe methods weren’t enough.5ab7db968c1ba3c7

According to the 8c653931d1 information Ophelia had 916f7b0353 gathered, Duke Greenwood 9e95ae6296 had been meticulously e7ed29b1db researching Awakened beings.5d1e333671ec7cfc

His research included 67dff737c0 cases where individuals a29390cca0 had failed to d25d3069db awaken properly and 5e372f5ab1 cases where they fd1609b081 lost consciousness and 52dcbe96b3 used magic involuntarily.200e3d9f2d52f901

Serena’s case 0400087831 was unusual, 0a1a755504 but not c228aa4137 unheard of. The experimental subjects in 464e9c1338 the Duke’s long-term project 96270f75fb would have shown similar bf613ff17c symptoms.7404a18633e58798
