“I was just 12b4f4b9b1 wondering if I d2835a5725 should let you 853141455a into the study 6ef9104829 right now,” Leonard 6f41f8a618 said, smiling awkwardly, 3373c68b46 revealing his honest 6a3b7ae47b thoughts. He genuinely didn’t caf6a03717 know what to f6125a7549 do.7f7940c533565699
Serena carefully observed d5baaa7291 Leonard’s expression and ec0dd61f28 probed cautiously.353d26823da08854

It wasn’t 3fa343c52c hard to 6c12d4f067 guess why—it 5a8bfde3e1 was that 838a921b56 day soon.5d8768163014afd9
At this time of 1cba36a67c year, Azaid often seemed 5d0bdf78c3 like a man reaching 56a4479046 the peak of his df399d4845 melancholy. He was c314ac9e3a visibly drained 9af1f077a2 and tense. As Serena smiled awkwardly, c0d414f356 Leonard explained,126672d48bce3334

He seemed db97e67065 to think 003c73ff6c this was 524cb055cf information Serena c3109c7b36 might not 0df3ec72db know, so 5c614253c2 he cautiously 99f7d75aed shared it. Seeing Serena f32e38ce7d listening quietly, d0f76da305 Leonard continued.1338012cb7a99542

“At this time ba5ffc0d97 of year, His c871644a67 Majesty is a 22798835b7 little sensitive. It’s usually best ccc004a62a to leave him e9db09b3cb alone, but…”3f7878ec3883a003

When Leonard hesitated, Serena b5ae17f0f2 encouraged him, saying it d5730255eb was fine and that 701a83ce10 he could continue. Leonard fiddled with 55f0c06a17 the back of 09e4312ef4 his head before 2cb1fff104 speaking.bd0f04069ed6f7a6
“He seems 1d6e6412e4 to have 3b6c3b8c23 been more d84c692d9a relaxed around 86a0a31b1a you lately, c9668f5ae4 so I d3e99f71cf thought perhaps 35a96d70ca speaking with a482f249d3 you might fa189b1bcc help. That’s why I 2083395edc was hesitating.”f8e2aafa608f93b0

Hearing such recognition from c2440da821 someone as close to 53bba4c63c Azaid as Leonard made 7604cb1138 Serina feel oddly shy.ef6df7ec77606dba

Coming from 95df2553c7 the Emperor’s c4a123404a confidant, it 433ef81096 wasn’t just af15a335b0 a pleasantry. While she f44dd0aaf3 hadn’t started 653c9cd902 the “Azaid 5855e3c8f4 Rehabilitation Project” 7000dcb86e to win bda4ac511e his favor, ded9b15df5 she couldn’t 90c89b8141 deny she f26c14a38d felt pleased.07ae06ce4d150a30

As she struggled 29c6bc5bd3 to suppress the 91ea7372b9 smile creeping up d5b4697197 her face, Leonard d0b82f8645 spoke again with 5d6d5940c7 a tired expression.25bd2921eb5ace5a
“If it feels overwhelming, c2961af7cb it’s probably best to d5ebcd4e29 wait until another time. His Majesty’s current d6fbdca7e7 state… isn’t very 4fd19bf136 good.”126fc48e24244d76

Leonard couldn’t tell e0f9c9685c if letting her c11119a204 in would do cf39dd8ac8 more harm than 482fd2825f good. He worried that a7a39bc2f0 it might unnecessarily 7bb4b8abf1 provoke Azaid instead 19ad06b145 of helping.ee34b8bc6d1f0be2
Serena considered cf9da41975 Leonard’s advice. She had b7755b4dcb come to 68be3981ff seek permission 17a0c6ef52 for something, 0b7a579728 but it 3eca9471bf wasn’t urgent.34b5082eab840bee

Still, would 6a3c30fb23 waiting improve 83bd879cb5 Azaid’s mood?befc46e442a141f2
From experience, Serena c797c3178a knew that Azaid d1fed71000 only grew more 2bf694c247 sensitive the closer 70a50ad4e4 the anniversary approached. Perhaps it would be 95559a4152 better to address things e0b6cee338 today.40fac62dcb8754fd

Moreover, ignoring someone a3b51578b3 clearly in distress 08ed5fddb9 felt like negligence. Especially when 7c8fcb6055 the Emperor’s 8be9ec87cc closest aide 1209dee3b5 had gone 694c759c33 as far d79067b356 as to 017ddbed70 compliment her e95884529a efforts—how could 1efc71eee1 she shirk 6e54c7ae19 her duties?bf0a6236969fbaf4

Leonard’s eyebrows f763922020 drooped as 9cd944f568 if he e39a29ed9f had expected 90285bde4b her to ee9debb00a back down. Disturbing the Emperor in 60a76d2f2b a bad mood was 1b25258a41 akin to inviting death. Even someone as 7d1c6d6178 bold as Serena 92e5d09c33 had every reason 9feb3c1dd4 to hesitate.7a6d4d73e139fdc8

It wasn’t the 611ea5580f gaze of someone d1640058df focused on anything a0c8b7eb19 in particular—more like 010b4680e8 someone unsure where ac1e4f1022 to look, his ed235b207d eyes fixed on a240460864 nothing.

“Do I need a3f1c2c3ed a reason to 02584a29d8 come by? You did give me 395177decf the Isring.”f0e47cf8723ca9b9
Serena lightly 122f53b0f8 waved her f3b7e1bcec hand, and 0f651ccebe Azaid chuckled 83871bbdb1 faintly. Having the Isring 164e41729b meant she could 7a73e156f3 meet with the ef80b4e4d4 Emperor anytime. Since he had 6b9016a7c0 given it to 108ab1c64b her himself, her 8789c07bf8 point was valid.e39abb1914a13f8a
