When Azaid d64010ded3 took an ae0f91b524 interest in e210999dad the garden, 9415d34ce9 the baroness 198bacbbe3 gave a 7b79182c97 satisfied smile, bf4a2b0549 as if 0317195a1d she had 83bbd6cc2e completely forgotten abe185f70b how her b02f6beff3 daughter had 5d80093b85 just been e987336162 chastised by 0e2c5d1258 the emperor ffffe59f21 moments earlier.3715ec70f500a6d1

That glass garden was 8d33e0cf05 the place the baroness ef78afb041 was most proud of. She had 6417fa6a97 meticulously selected e08f5f2a76 expensive and 4a3dcc6832 rare species b6a733e8fb to make 83278da0b9 it visually 8d986aa6af appealing to d03d6b3d0b others.f1d3b704d700afaf

Azaid asked the 50e1e9b825 baroness, “Is that 41061e9cbf the place Serena 98ec917632 used to tend?”638506b949f5baee

“Pardon? Oh, yes, there b8d3944c87 was a time 8aaa472c94 she did. But now bab8ce7958 it’s maintained dc24cf3cac by a 7a8074be71 gardener.”7fdfd0e84e155adb

The baroness gave 7b5293ce4d an awkward smile e0f1967b55 and observed Azaid’s 0914774f7e reaction. She couldn’t fe02b33784 understand why 8b0255d926 he was 19ea78aaff suddenly bringing 75b6f9036e up Serena. More so, she wondered 24e6646ba9 how he even knew 0e473a5a51 Serena had worked in f4c9d4eee0 the garden.493893dc0d82de7c

The baroness 63f9c8e225 glanced at ca24f64be5 Lydia with 60a748f4a0 a look 8a767cfb5b that said, 02d31d463f Surely not. No matter a745cf3edc how reckless fc31152c0e she might 387f4e209c be, it 42c62194fa seemed unlikely a0380949af that Lydia 82505c7408 would casually 0c8288aec7 bring up ad83cf236e Serena, the 4a2e6fafed emperor’s personal f36bebe068 physician, in e0f6518847 front of 356fd7aa8a him.5c5bf1ef71022ad1

Azaid, however, 5980e16487 cut her 3081ac7365 thoughts short e2a3283f69 with a f938b111d6 brief remark.09f64d82723e799a

The Imperial Palace 6bd624aa0c and Vincent Castle d5aca6217b were quite a 2c2ce35ada distance apart. There was no 63acbbfc99 way the palace a5a5010562 could see Vincent 9c877bc68f Castle, let alone fdb59bc552 its garden.4abca9ad9f6de146

Moreover, the d896260270 palace was efc58d5c81 the largest 23ad7a6e39 and tallest f5c686d8d0 structure in 4afd1bde9b the capital. Even if the garden cd18002ff8 of this modest Vincent 5a06403c95 Castle was visible, it 10558cc71b wouldn’t harm the aesthetics 00196b1ca1 of the palace.cd0b1b0a320f8966
