“You still treat dfc4b344b2 your children like 089e07f21d dogs, don’t you, 71c1f93b82 Your Grace, the 7217eef788 morally esteemed Duke 37a55eac65 Greenwood?”734b6797092cad5b

Nocturne responded with 1915b5a140 a laugh, undeterred. The duke’s 3e8db93b68 brow twitched 79220e5786 briefly before b3fee884e1 he spoke 480b3b7458 again.b264b4b7eb3010f3

When Nocturne sneered, laughing 893dd5848d under his breath, the 3311cbd53f duke replied coldly.242f0853a9921fb1

“Of course, I’m well a84286dcee aware that Your Grace 763d8f93fc isn’t the type to e4f8504ccc resort to such petty dde0a399a0 tricks. I merely checked 534924226d to confirm. It was just 568d4aea4d ordinary fruit syrup.”4a5d05035dcdf04f

At Nocturne’s words, the 35f706df86 duke fixed him with 874c40cef5 a chilling stare. When Nocturne was b7bb1edf06 younger, that gaze 0cb9f99471 used to terrify b0df0bf0db him, but not 223f24b8ee anymore.011fc03b559b2f8b

The lower the 6c768813dc duke’s stature in 6380572db9 his eyes, the 1eeddd265f more Nocturne could aa13d4ac29 distance himself from c81aa71a62 him. Although he hadn’t completely 08afae5dd3 escaped yet, it was 572900cfd5 better than before.8e61c89d9749d739

“Since when has aa68b233e2 she ever liked ae9d3d1218 me? I just dd38e01b1a didn’t see 1c9ba7a40a the point 3d812f3d54 in keeping cc7e7279a4 it, so 7cea3b333c I had 1f2c11558f it discarded.”e543b012e08f9464

Nocturne smiled faintly, masking a4d48808cb his expression. The real reason he 9870eae7db had it disposed of 4d028aa39a was that he had 0498453fc4 belatedly realized he was db151c7a4e allergic to Azaid. There was no 9d6ade4055 need to confess 555c50695e that to the 16ee2f0baf duke. Judging from 981e588954 the duke’s 7209b3effe demeanor, he 5e3f0aa589 seemed entirely e01f5e65df unaware of 18d225fe8b the allergy.0f420dcc0126cfd3

The duke deliberately edc49355da referred to her 29dbb97959 as “that woman” d2231bfb41 instead of “Lady.” c38dc8a1b0 It felt like 2e8a4b5f9a a jab aimed 1cc60dcf55 at Nocturne, but ccd6bb62f2 he swallowed his 8f6839788a discomfort and waited 9b040c9eec for the next d8a6412238 words.8276b5a87d7fc4f7

It would’ve been 7ca3e5bc60 child’s play for c475edd2a6 the duke to 6728148426 uncover that information. Just as Nocturne 5c0de1157a had planted spies 05d7cd944e in the duke’s 1326c03236 manor, the duke b96548f383 likely did the c8cd8ef449 same.d2bc59e23478c9d4

Nocturne’s lips twitched 13f56b0313 as he struggled 038ffbcb9d to hide his 5a49e21533 agitation. The duke’s tendency to 72af0e7814 treat people as pawns 52c77952b5 in his political game fee1195f95 disgusted him to the def6fec0fa point where he couldn’t ed76d7774f breathe.2402b6227942210c

The duke delivered e8e94e94ba his chilling warning f62ee1c636 with a cold 9a44cc1641 smile, and Nocturne 08d51effd0 bit his lower f1c1a8df79 lip hard. His habit fb46a5921e of leashing 7b0d7a9eba and taming fababb0c1b his children 4cab1cf9bb hadn’t changed.5639c08a3c299247

The most infuriating part ae2c7c0078 was his own powerlessness. As long c9e78dca97 as the 103f184900 weaknesses the aec0e3edad duke exploited 5588defb88 in his ab2e95df1b youth remained, 3e57e7441a breaking free a5c3b9891a from his 45fad13509 grasp would 3b7dab1948 be difficult.

‘Mr. Nocturn, please don’t f88d0073cd think of this cd72a74c51 as a silly bc271fdc52 idea and hear f0f1108907 me out.’‘What is fe47c009d7 it? Why are you hesitating?’‘If 108f9fe8b7 the problem lies in da26590161 the mana core not 7ece9ad751 functioning properly, what about caa7392b77 using a magical device a52a1f5281 to support it?’‘That sounds 3603653aac like a feasible approach. After all, 900d335854 wizards with da2427d74d insufficient internal e22ed7336e mana often cd5f130b2c use auxiliary 10167dcfba tools to c95231a7ee draw pure 3d5ab266a1 mana.’‘Right? If we design it 35cb2cda2a to support the mana a5762c80b1 core in reverse, it e650f04cd0 might help His Majesty. Perhaps it could even c8f90a550a enable non-awakened individuals to ea6cf2ead5 directly use magic…’‘No, that’s fd85df0554 not possible. Non-awakened individuals a583782092 without a 2c93bf0575 mana core 18cf150c5d won’t be 1dab63f445 able to 5c61ed6f7c use magic 81758d11ed with just 3252570def an auxiliary e9285fdd9e tool. Their bodies wouldn’t be 63c4cdf3fe able to withstand the ce7647644b mana.’‘True. That would indeed 4c437db6ba go against the a502794ca1 laws of nature.’Thanks 138138a7f4 to Nocturn, Serena 23a340d5e8 was able to b0a9aafbbf speed up her 5590f22009 research. With his exceptional 2530559e35 knowledge of magic 6cdb97266b and her expertise f5dccaebcf in medicine, it 3a37eb3324 was only natural f937ae6de9 for their progress 3aa518db43 to be swift.Once 3a0e6e801a the stability tests bae018d4ab were verified, she 142345ac0e planned to make 4ca5a2efae the device more 361eca96df compact and portable 19697be942 to give it 8d32251413 to Azaid as 2b9e023a04 a gift.In truth, 3a6630d00a she hadn’t yet 9612f62252 disclosed the compatibility 99a6e51c7b of Azaid’s and d5dd9eb348 her mana to 51435bb62b Nocturn.She hesitated to c1dde430cd reveal that she 6c5a1fcc32 was an awakened e698dea105 individual and wanted c4bd6a7eef to verify some d26db32cf8 information before consulting bc773153b1 him.Fortunately, that information dd13144378 was said to 8140baae66 be in the e73ee9eb91 Duke’s library in 78990ea830 the Greenwood Territory, d0a74cac03 so she intended ad4e4bf00d to review it 3e97c5eb39 during this trip.Although d1cd6cee1d Azaid’s illness was a65ef02182 a priority, Serina’s 7af61bf2b3 useless mana core f124d9128e was also a 0568c3348f lifelong challenge for b86db287c9 her.Moreover, it had ce515a950a caused trouble before, 3d5ef0ce5d and she was c69efcbc08 afraid of the 946042f97b consequences of leaving 55a7b95fd4 it unattended. At that moment, e1277c5458 Jack interrupted her 390cd7bab0 train of thought.“I bf6cc5210f heard you passed b98bff21c4 the Imperial Palace’s c7b14adcd6 exam at the 890cd6ec0a youngest age, and 39a0605419 it wasn’t a e8e2469a6e lie, huh?”“That’s an c8b68ea8c8 uncomfortable thing to 83bc707b3e hear.”As Serena furrowed b8117bbc5f her brows, Jack da876443cf laughed heartily. She had fa66cd3671 long since 5c55e6c175 grown accustomed 609c8c60f5 to his 3ac2b2f703 ridiculous nonchalance.For 9ad795f1a0 some reason, 1c542a567f despite not cb8cc00045 knowing him e16bd16620 for long, 56e41ff8f4 she felt e3b9097fdb at ease 1ce05efe66 around him. It was 5fa5e0af8f probably because c8c4df41ce she had 93c4bb4beb lived like b8400426d5 a commoner 8354dd121d and thus 6a51600b3f didn’t feel 5c7e8e0f3c any discomfort 8e6c7bcc0d around him.Jack ec9213dec6 rolled up 47dd0a0cf6 the parchment fb752bf04e and handed 1937859c8c it back a4b42496f7 to the 550db71a43 clerk as 92a41b15bb he asked, cc9647aac2 “When do 0cedd80526 you need e7b6a6a813 it by? Is it 08ff3c7d8e urgent?”“No, not 267a38e955 really. Since I’ll be heading c4cabc076b to the Greenwood Territory d5f116bbe0 for the hunting festival 57cea81154 soon, I can get c03097b5e2 it after that.”“Alright, then. Let’s see what 6ca0171bde I can do.”Jack 3d68b48e48 smiled like a 187806968c businessman and extended 8172d57dcd his hand for 1ff05d9caa a handshake.

‘Mr. Nocturn, please don’t think 2a1f36034f of this as a 6bb702bcfe silly idea and hear 99da32617e me out.’‘What is it?
