Before Jack’s communication ed77405d09 arrived.e47fd82210422495

Azaid had already 9a71cc2701 arrived at Vincent 35bfddc216 Castle. Officially, it f0845c1314 was a 6d1039cdb1 covert visit, 6a3c37d85d and his 2eba32be1d purpose was 8d24fd567f to find 58ea2c6050 Serina.ee6b8ee07113382f

Leonard, who was behind 2aae46397e him, pressed his lips 3633825353 together to stifle a b2039bfe64 smile. But as the 6929b98764 Baroness and her 5ed9e5e692 daughter entered the b7a7f17cc2 VIP room, he dc7ec3d042 wiped the expression 0aba4cdd94 off his face.2399626b3b7556e0

“I, I 17c7b0f7a4 greet the add7398059 Sun of 69f4e21c5d the Empire. I am Lydia 091178f029 Vincent of the 7a3d5b8dc2 Vincent family.”107895fd1d1024a5

Lydia blushed as 2805268af9 she bowed to 2e2458aeec Azaid. The Baroness, seated 58e47e806e beside her with 2a6a8e431a a delighted expression, 3e22333327 added:87971af6c21cc5fc

“We were not 0a9037470d informed in advance, 61e2d29003 so I apologize 8031a6d9a6 for not greeting 201edadcb0 you properly upon b00bc7f325 your arrival. The Baron has been 62f4ecece0 summoned and should be 415edbecdb here shortly.”464deac935354bb3

The Baroness and 9fd4f61357 Lydia naturally took f8210cea52 their seats before 3724b9cce7 Azaid. It was customary for b30cf54d0e the lady of the ec872143a0 house to receive guests 792e1edd08 in the absence of ac24d2ddff the master. The fact that 892e95a697 her daughter accompanied 9dc4a7926e her, however, was fab3349a3f clearly intentional.dec24c88e7a29a98

The Baroness was in b0682b8510 high spirits over the 239081b27f Emperor’s visit. Ever since Serena 017e222d3a had abruptly left 5f922551eb the castle the ccce968802 day before, the 3d8ffe4c3f atmosphere at Vincent 0eeb1535df Castle had turned ddf2080dca frigid.543ff1df7b40832b

The Baron, unable ea551caec8 to contain his bc060f44a1 anger, threw objects aa84848d70 around, and Lydia, a5b4370b13 irritated by something, e9b72b22ef vented her frustration 53fb51038b on the maids. Tyler had fled 295b152230 the castle, leaving d55964a8db the Baroness to 108224bff9 handle the aftermath.c566f285c7f2ee09

And now, the ddb9f75bb9 Emperor had arrived.7fcfd0fd700746e1

‘It must be dcac416a9b because of Serena, 8a92100f5c right?’9ea4f209afbc6d6f

The Baroness 131811a613 assumed that b0608cd669 the kindhearted b92c625e94 Serena had 1c59f1373e eventually given 8af26ebddd in to 1fe06a12d6 the Baron’s 0c747c8b21 plea for e6ebd97949 help.8565317a046a4e87

Although it was unfortunate 05b9b199a3 that Tyler hadn’t returned, 34ae0fa1ef Lydia was here. She planned c2bf8ebe68 to introduce 4fcb8bf937 Lydia first f0305c2089 and then f8c0727659 find an c42a97ddc8 opportunity to f0ef78585a present Tyler 849e555876 later.06d443ecb3b5b8a1

The Baroness, dada759d53 intent on 59736fb7e0 leaving Lydia 9b329c800a alone with 8ee5314456 the Emperor, 027703d8e4 stood up.598372dd57d1bff8

“Yes, Mother.”13222635d67cd0c6

Lydia blushed and answered bfcd56d810 shyly. The Baroness ffd265f6d8 left with d7636e61a4 a satisfied ed1d5dc564 smile.469e58d9be232666

In truth, 6b6d59ae21 Lydia had e9f36a21e5 already been 49e2fd3a2a captivated by 1f3774014b Azaid’s appearance.e7f6622ccd85f08e

This was her first ccd2f12f55 time seeing the Emperor 206d7112d6 up close. Though she 3bebb01013 had caught d2fe51a951 glimpses of d9eed40c7d him at 778d387206 banquets, she b5b9a66722 had never b394426253 spoken to 5de1d0ca0d him.c108d03d506f15b3

‘He looks even 6acac37950 more handsome up 525e0d71b6 close.’d60984774c2b7756

Lydia couldn’t take 5a528659e4 her eyes off 17165cbdda Azaid. It was 48aedf02b2 only natural, f8880c8614 given that abc3b9bf52 she was 5e9d46ab22 witnessing his 932abd9bbc radiant appearance, 084d390b0d enhanced by 777fb33831 his transformation d55e215d23 after meeting 6186e5fdb6 Serina.a23b47de1d8fac6a

Though Azaid found fc6f8e9640 Lydia’s gaze unpleasant, aeedae3084 he tolerated it, 0f729c1385 thinking it might be5eef403e make it easier 29889be465 to ask her 002aa29274 about Serina’s whereabouts. In a soft ec99f53439 tone, he said:4fc9b0e3304ce45d

“Since the Baroness 9b46aef79f has left, I’d c01adcb8c7 like to ask b3f36d607e you something privately. Can you answer honestly?”f0cc6cd17678d1c9

“O-of course! Ask me anything.”3939084e06f36cf0

Lydia beamed, 3ed0f9a757 mistaking his 29d5c9815a interest for 44ce62966d something personal. The fact that he 703ff680ed had started questioning her 3b16c630db right after her mother a54843d0c1 left only reinforced her 2395b56553 belief that he was 4fc6b195cf drawn to her natural 6c3ae94950 beauty.9a2ca43753fca5d1

Lydia’s face briefly 9097092392 turned cold at 561e9da65b the mention of fc2c231750 Serena, but she 449b7c3b80 quickly adjusted her 73f64566ed expression. Reflecting on it, f932f62bc0 she realized it 3a71bb2dbe might be more 55b0b0a235 natural to broach b85f358d45 the conversation with 4a5d6ad2bc a shared topic 6e5f622cdd of interest than d19caeeb3e to reveal her 2d8cd030b3 feelings outright.ccaa2e2b7f3c012e

Her mind 1d82cf78b0 raced ahead, 038e54932d imagining herself cd262334b5 walking down bc22ed7e15 the aisle 85ce304300 with Azaid. Smiling, she replied:50498c6a26a7a96e

“She left?”668590bac97e7fa7

Azaid paused 14b09f5bc4 at her 4a994e0737 words. If Serena 455e99ea0d had left, 200d99b9fa there was 7bcceee5cf little reason 0e64b59270 for him e154590869 to stay 276fe3ab55 longer.a84b5a58c6378df4

Lydia added 57ec9e8472 this as 11fb4ba89a though she 03f2adc1c2 were genuinely 2862e73877 concerned. But Azaid’s expression grew 63ccd2c443 darker as he listened, 4007005e56 and even Leonard, standing f3484e9809 behind, seemed displeased.75d20b1da20839de
