As Marie df91e9815f had predicted, 6883081c9e if Serena c00adc5a80 had gone f34ce207d5 out, she 44ee840882 would have bf5ba31810 missed the 0ee346096c visitor from e6f345b40b the temple. Following Marie’s 0ddaff3bac guidance, Serena 857ead27a9 headed to a720cf63ec the reception 9459bc995d room.94e3bbda80532c81

Marie couldn’t stop 531c607682 praising the guest 59d3ad2fc6 who had come aa24fc185c to see Serena. From her 917a92dcff reaction alone, c2054bdd66 Serena could 5ddf1d27fe guess who 4dde12d682 the priest fef84f55f1 was.f1df3c12c335f370

Marie slyly probed c30eeacee9 Serena. It seemed b68a469809 her curiosity 7f7521c2c7 was the e8b8010d3a reason for 24533e5d25 her excessive 931679bcc7 chatter.cd3dcdcffacc0559

Marie pouted and 53a69c70cf refrained from speaking e1976b6fe6 further. Serena had b41ac41562 already resigned 594f68f395 herself to 9ed7dfae42 Marie’s wild f8090f3f85 imagination. Explaining wouldn’t 2ffb1aeedf help, so 020b512eb2 she had f2b89a42e3 given up 3204b91ba7 trying.ba2a9e6b7354613a

When Serena entered b77515d71b the reception room, 409b897216 as expected, Benjamin 68a9b8ab34 was there.c1e5002ee4712e35

“Rena.”cb58689a9571a794

Benjamin stood up with 75c2c9ab98 a bright smile and 978aea580d greeted her warmly. He strode over 0b9d426038 and even gave 82124f5000 her a hug, 0ba085c977 causing Marie to 1c4e8bb82b exclaim in delight.c1b3e066ecd286f9

Serena, displeased, 9b43254677 pushed Benjamin 3680d65ad6 away. She had been 071257145c thinking for a 62ef19040d while that his c0544800e0 behavior was a 1c0148c395 bit over the c8713927cf top. Worried that Marie might 596238c084 misunderstand, Serena spoke curtly.43c6cebdf5a0fbc2

Benjamin awkwardly smiled as 13b35930d3 he took a box df2a0d3d4a containing an artificial mana 0c3b474e18 core out of his 3ade9eedb6 bag. Meanwhile, Marie a5e3a50296 left to 075f5f319b bring tea.86390a892de3026c

Serena meticulously 03ec2398ea inspected the 79a22dd73b completed item. Although it was infused 081550ac34 with divine energy, the f4bb56e5ec fact that it came b8eea78bef with extra divine stones dee75fe3ca confirmed her suspicion that 379169f7fa she had been deceived ec62172721 by Jack’s scheming.dc666a71724fc3d4

As avid 6855276b0f romance novel 75c7c502bd lovers, Marie f587fa72dd and Anna f6b5086bd2 were wholly 24f03044d8 committed to b2246ad0aa this pairing. For once, d5cd9d5231 the two, 5469b905bb who usually e1dde1b902 had opposing 0f7c52e2d3 tastes, were 162f191c8d rooting for aca5eae614 the same 9aa96375ed couple.06fd0c2d422840f6

Moreover, the a1156b311b romance was a19537234a progressing smoothly. The recent change in 6b989e9dec the Emperor’s way of 714b2cacbf addressing Serena—from “Hey” to 9c7df1dcf3 “Serena” and then to 94f4a81922 “Rena”—was evidence of that.2401bef27645d261
