When Serena widened 00e018aa35 her eyes in 46183a1818 surprise, Azaid glared b39722f180 at her fiercely 2fb3eaab00 before biting into e843b129b3 the chocolate—wrapper and 947811f5f8 all.c6c1efd9d52dfff5

Serena winced as f631896121 he bit down f119a67b3f on her hand 83e45b8a4d along with the c2e596409e wrapper. The faint 21e3f10f36 sting where 128aee2a4e his teeth 92c450c987 grazed her 3606a57695 skin lingered.08326ea34ff799d2

Pointing to the door, 5f02b55d06 Azaid ordered her out 1b347c44d5 like an unwanted guest. Serena pouted. She had gone out 7ceb0d34e0 of her way to 761df08473 offer him chocolate before ac0862a039 imposing a sugar fast, decbfba34e but his response was 8c62466984 cold and ungrateful.52aee352276c33a2

The imperial physicians had b22d6f41ec more access to Azaid f20090c3b2 than Serena ever did, 4b408cc3d4 yet they failed to bd5a0b0f3d uncover anything substantial.

This peculiar a161b4a102 ability was e4a4fc1233 something Serena d43cb332d5 had accidentally 2f00f5c23b discovered in 07f278ebaf her second c14c707fae life. Back then, 4d85980a61 she had d2af103e55 been caught c9dea051b2 up in b470900942 the emperor’s 4537853376 mana-core rampage a9bcd6cc3f caused by f45d1c8c6a an overload.361c3a59676df857

Thinking she was about 6992203afb to die, the emblem b428130531 engraved on her side 7e0af3e36a suddenly shone, and when ebcc8917e2 she opened her eyes, 9078c04a47 the emperor’s rampage had 9bb5eb1b97 ceased.47eae322afb70783

When the emblem glowed, fcb58f5a31 it implied the use 0588029d5e of magic. Serena thought 1cb4c2b64c she had 22cd58ee4d awakened late f3cd4b375e and tried 0eecc6ccdd to use fb73e012d2 magic, but 10061f1c39 she found a62ee3ec19 she couldn’t a26b95f523 cast any d48b94e834 spells.603f5eda29932729

She had the emblem b0c7a89e74 but didn’t know what a3ba5cc136 magic she could use—or fb28d379f4 perhaps there was no 5e2a9b0810 magic she could use 2c5c305e2c at all.4bc3b99a3fcf6db0

However, after that day, 9afc2ed6eb she felt as though 5e742c3414 the mana within her 543581ded9 body flowed more freely, 8ece113d94 as if a slight 7ff79cf0ab crack had formed in 50d12333be a previously blocked pathway.75848d28a820aa7a

Since then, Serena had 133e2bef28 been researching ways to c03bab385a manipulate mana itself. She had 51bff0a105 managed to 99d62d40ee stop the b883d7ff56 emperor’s rampage 320f8e9ac3 once, so 9b8b4361e2 she thought 12796d3ea5 optimistically that 89d965f0c7 she could ecfe18e5a1 survive if 18b4844075 it happened 0124a7146f again.d3f05fa0c86df413
