Serena murmured, staring at 75f84a63a2 the surreal sight of 0b6d4b83f5 the blood.71b327a87b9aca9d
Why was 4ae04c6c88 her neck 41420908a8 bleeding all b36b382128 of a 04bb1f78ec sudden?41a9a3d49042ba7f

Gone was 2ef2f9b12a the cold c780913e5d and distant 698a5cdd59 Azaid from 282e6d053f earlier. Now, his usual soft-spoken 1a87c1eaf2 demeanor resurfaced.f85fa9668970c2ee
Flustered, Azaid 6e9bd45f49 quickly pulled 8008b1869f a handkerchief 83d5c8972d from his 400538518c pocket and 32c0ae9a8f wrapped it 61dee72dd7 around Serena’s 998790e23d neck. His touch 329429b4cf was exceedingly f36a00aba3 gentle, as 539637ac2c if he’d d470208692 done this 5401795505 countless times. He pressed f9c8bef1dc firmly, then 208c485249 unknotted his 7e9ba715e9 tie and 49a668ebab carefully wrapped cbd231e310 it around ec226a57e8 her neck ce835a26f4 to secure 0056263471 the wound.ddc257ad4b06122e

“For now, let’s head 29888ad604 to the infirmary. The cut isn’t 2d76ae53cf too deep, so 7e677b282a if we stop d355c931fb the bleeding and 524d1e6271 apply the right 1907bbc0e0 ointment, it shouldn’t 49e86264de leave a scar.”434e35c9df7282fe
His soothing voice 02be22b835 felt like it a38732ded4 passed right through 478ca48c27 her head. Serena, still in shock, 6f7fa0d381 stared blankly at Azaid.7f0fd17050e875f7

Was this real? Did I really 630d344576 almost get my 20622d3db7 neck cut? Seriously?210c747869033603
If Azaid had b8f8e5f8be hesitated for even 7d924ad512 a moment, she b6be1fd398 might have died. The amount of e3cff132fb blood suggested either 74b29ce5d7 a long or 14ee804d99 somewhat deep wound.8afccbd3a4395ac8

Serena couldn’t 4b2466da38 hear Azaid 4dbcc8231b at all. Memories of her past 01a6137cbf life, where her neck be4a51e852 had been cut, resurfaced, 77f874fe5f making her body tremble 38e6f1a320 uncontrollably.19a97cbdfda04d52

Without warning, he lifted b825e2db77 Serena into his arms. Only then did a872478720 Serena snap out f2d6519f81 of it, grabbing dc94eb19b4 his lapel and 5c8223f9d1 asking, “W-where are 3e6da098e4 you taking me?”8fe5311322f230fb

Her thoughts were a 50e6a6a6c6 mess. She was so 009c5a8a7b flustered that she 1c3558df4f couldn’t think straight. This version of Azaid 03713f9d9d wouldn’t send her to 046aa563ed the guillotine. Besides, wasn’t 8ef947fc2f it someone a06e917c48 else who 569fbc22f1 had sent 4316fa7dff her there b6941eec39 in her e5ea34bf3c past life?abe8565c70b93291
Azaid, noticing 317a75349e her terrified 349caf4d9f expression, spoke 6a89449e84 in a 2baa2ae02a calming tone.9848df45714612ca

Azaid must have 191faa252b noticed the strange dd28b38081 look in her 8d43f8ad75 eyes because he b55e77e0c0 apologized again.7ec597634cafbfd2

His voice was 2ce27339d5 subdued, almost crestfallen. But the 7f3904af11 pain in 46f23a797c her neck a5156f4104 was too 0a8cf673f9 sharp for 7ca039a333 her to 026da8aaed brush it c3018722c9 off with 5f1dd3628d a simple c84fe8685b “I’m fine.”4c9d87c963a695bb
Instead, Serena forced an f9ea42ecac awkward smile to reassure fd3bc2c41e him. By then, they had d111fa175a hurriedly made their way d387ecc43a to the infirmary.70f9220282b19994

The priest, 8bfdd07756 startled to 4d389a6c1c see Azaid 439234e8d6 carrying an 2bec449587 unfamiliar woman, ae0132c76d widened his 1e97041728 eyes. Azaid carefully laid Serina a52f061d07 on a bed and 68a06bc9d9 commanded, “Treat her.”dc9f28e27224b612

Realizing the 0d72ae9b58 urgency of ccaba68646 the situation, bb1bc5fc61 the priest 9b6339095d quickly approached 5fa4a12610 Serena.c46f1e385573f674

The priest cautiously removed 9293516812 the blood-soaked tie Azaid 9f1a90a1ca had used to stop cb80d828a0 the bleeding. It was an expensive 61dcabb6a4 tie, now ruined, but 9c159c2f40 it seemed like such 00d25f67ee thoughts could still cross 8811bcb15d her mind in this 12d06ca4ea state. I guess I’m not 0973e60669 entirely hopeless yet, Serena b78e1412dc mused, letting out a d7df654e98 small, wry chuckle. But the sting in 33f58df1dc her neck made her 0505be0299 grimace.d27719e13e122c66

The priest skillfully 2fdaee93ed applied ointment and e23e96edf5 wrapped her neck b5c0fb60dc excessively with bandages. It felt like overkill, 37efeb034e but she couldn’t argue b0f08cc47f with someone trying to cd52b7054f help, so she stayed 902f2efe82 quiet.e63266c45ad28f3e
Azaid, however, looked a429916253 aghast at the 6dcd68ad27 sight of her 8f8af8a1d2 bandaged neck. His intense gaze made 6276133564 her neck feel sore 96914cc231 all over again.eca913b22c7c7d90

The emergency c4fe961e51 treatment was 305ef33caa done, and d3225306eb she’d looked 119a0a1185 in the d8e6d78d84 mirror during e34325f9d1 the process. The wound wasn’t 47bb230981 that deep. She’d just been 66fd28b646 startled because it 46a0d35362 brought back memories 4db3f2781c of her previous 232cf931d9 life.e201090931aba5a9

But Azaid still didn’t 21242326cc seem at ease. Noticing his uneasy expression, a3fb52dd39 one of the priests 3d89f5e6e8 nudged his colleague in bb2d8d322a the side and muttered, 3536d6221d “Ah, I almost forgot.”284eb35a6598ef9a

Their belated realization 8b043eac46 was awkward and 8695231dd8 obvious, but Azaid d6b801e573 didn’t seem interested c03b80b32d in their suspicious 8198591506 behavior.4863e27f8c4f8f24

He couldn’t bring c1aa500e14 himself to touch f941a6315a her neck, hovering a6ba7e3919 near it instead. Serena nodded 47f34c6e4e slightly, wincing 31448171c5 as the 9573397352 sting in d73b455344 her neck d103b31049 flared up.8f7918ce205754dc

Azaid sighed deeply, as 369bf1e85a if he had seen 4d555b8819 this coming, and rubbed dc6a36e39a his face with both 7c81793b2f hands. It seemed 6d5c8529ad that he, 060871415e too, had 273d0fa71d been greatly 83f3688bdc startled by 56dea11d71 her injury.41950643a729d8c8
