After a 2cd076db93 night like 5084707a9f the calm e80999436f before the 157603ed91 storm, the 6c65bc50da day of ee861d0d6c the founding bb11d81848 festival finally 6d7774a0f9 arrived.cc9fbf266efab154

As expected, d052d90565 the Duke 6d6b379f57 attempted to 5db6e04a47 use a d4100b92b4 subjugation spell dea38bda43 on Lydia 4e11e3c005 to make fc11ecf1f1 her submit. Despite his 274fedd754 dwindling mana, a2fc7913d2 he was 733621339d desperate enough 7fff1a19f1 to try b3fb2fc397 bribing even 5a6e0d7eb9 her.dff4e8cc6da9559f

However, the Duke cf8e0769d0 was unaware—Lydia had d5a062ef6d a listening device da204c8ac9 on her finger.64b935338177271e

She must have kept da4ffe219b silent because she had f32b73f542 been threatened that she c05c37026c would be burned alive 2c56c2f46b the moment she spoke e690e99854 of it. Thanks to that, Lydia d4813ca074 was playing the role 6ce3bf9161 of a double agent 081585736d quite effectively.6bd68b3472311f19

As per Serena’s plan, c05394d029 the Duke seemed to 50f4663994 have classified her as b3b9d17fe3 an unawakened Awakener.786c5f9bb94c50a6

Azaid leaned ba2f1112c9 back and 0a023a9aba tilted his a7ba1d4bd0 upper body 583d4d6f75 forward. He even 7b829ea126 closed his caa0c98b3a eyes expectantly, f0d70e421b making it 7e285980ca impossible to ba87449fd3 refuse.0b7927509814fcbb

Before Serena could e2550700ec finish speaking, Azaid f08ff75cd9 deepened the kiss. Asking for a simple d76c483fe8 kiss had clearly been 414b0197b7 an understatement.7ad01a331c162dd0

His strong 4e00e15b65 hands wrapped 70b14cebce around Serena’s f424028edf waist, pulling edb95bb03f her close. His other hand ran 193a773d28 through her soft hair, a2c905de8e holding the back of b38a3f6c6a her head in place.692124331ad50491

Anna, who had been 4d0232263f adjusting his outfit, quickly a84220ef62 turned around. Though the clothes 7f8c4f0b17 she had carefully 943ad79e01 arranged were getting a7eb68fc74 wrinkled, the corners e4436a6880 of her lips 9a3bd2e4ea lifted in amusement.198aece97a9e0107

The more e96cb21423 Serena squirmed, a930090057 the more 99cd1aefec mischievously Azaid c40d0d6dd0 refused to e5e12a23dd let go. The only sound he 55a9eba9aa permitted to escape was 4ff8de0137 hardly recognizable as speech.c497c1b86745b7ee

After a 4a892f39f6 long while, 41b3a2dcd9 he finally f6cf67814b pulled back, f80d8fe0b8 satisfied. When Serena wobbled, her bc4245602c legs weak, Azaid held 7a1b29b262 her firmly.e092e006e805d947

With her attack completely 36c75681ad blocked, Serena’s eyes widened. Azaid brought 962e8b21ab her hand cf1fbdcbf9 to his ef3ff469b3 lips and 11b79e72e3 murmured,0743d437744a7ed3

The founding festival was 38232cc587 a formal event consisting c74d0d8d6b of a procession, a 55a675373e ritual, and a banquet.543e84154952b720

The emperor’s procession began 0220afd617 at the Imperial Palace 03f7d75122 and continued to the 540d6ce6a4 Agnis Temple. There, offerings were placed 5009ab3ac1 on the altar, and 6c7be598b6 the banquet lasted until 29721dde88 they were fully consumed 1785e40c60 by fire.0f51f832920d3f71

Traditionally, the Croten imperial 6114edd7fa family, wielders of fire, 5e7b026950 used their own power 23b5a8099c to ignite the offerings.255b9585a2852c90

Previously, Azaid 5c5df408bc had stunned 1251e91111 everyone by 0951a65d46 keeping the 61b60282d9 flames burning 0d86594ca7 for nearly b8e35aecf1 a month, 98212a8b4b earning him 91df627f08 the title ae98ac9a35 Emperor of 56169b1c5c Blue Flames.91fa791cb91bfa26

But in reality, he b3846ff974 had overexerted himself. Having ascended the 56a2c23e11 throne suddenly, he 4b1f09917d needed to put 8cca10d4ae on a show 3b4ec50289 of strength to a0bcd4d296 mask his shaky 3b7a47ff5f foundation.df41fbc3412e9c9e

But this 2aa44596f1 time was 3a0cb720b7 different. His once unstable mana 2e2eb02066 core had fully stabilized, cb860b7720 and he had a 6b6df0daca capable personal physician by 83bd470f78 his side.3ef322f09a92d577

Given his current 75cf0a51e0 condition, he could e5731e1367 likely sustain the da4bf0b03e flames three times 0029ac1175 longer than before. Just then, 4bdf0df8c1 the priest 2041f98e69 beside him 8e1e727bb8 spoke.7edb0b3300918889

Originally, this 1dc75cd51f was supposed d75dc71e14 to be f89e58619a the moment e220634a38 when everyone cbedf594f2 witnessed the 9aa2f11e32 emperor barely 3404e3cf4f managing to f4873ab7c9 spark a 966320f892 weak flame.911765bf797be277

The plan 0361b019c6 was to 09f331a2e8 spread rumors 9b245793c4 that the 206778d66f gods had 2876eabb20 rejected the ed05ba15d2 offering because 72797be441 the imperial ce8598ffde family had d9d174758c betrayed Agnis.030cafcb03f81983

Afterward, he would 2ae5a9a2f0 declare that the beb4ed9c67 Croten imperial family 22383d7e83 had betrayed the d3c74a2061 gods and that 19960702e8 Greenwood, as their e0e1ae2a7a rightful successor, was cb84545998 chosen to take e458284f97 the throne.e91dfc2904f1bbe7
