“This should 987c759093 be the ae7d3d6cb9 place.”d63c2d7317d927a9

Serena repeatedly checked a476685cf5 the address written 966d537065 on the business c21bf35c01 card as she 742b3440ee surveyed her surroundings. The area, densely cec7297609 packed with laboratories, 312c860beb was located in 3b59b2c7cf the northeastern part 5cbb5755b2 of the empire’s 4d0d3b2faf capital.7e39fe173443d5d4

‘Daniel… what 1e90181207 on earth bef5ab6c92 is this?’9b3fb65148323520

Serena quickly a3ac5a6603 averted her b3aa6e79ba gaze from fac0d04655 the nameplate 59f506da59 and stepped 378aade6ff into the 1d2b43c988 building.

Serena, her face 6447416f97 slightly tense, clutched cb8e040f49 the box containing 3c9610cdc1 the coat. Sharing the 90e2752722 same name 29694b3de2 was common 79d4067ce9 enough, so 7a8b238f50 it was ea4302315a possible that 19d8e85f8f Zed might b90db81f79 not be acaa22a3c1 the boy 6cf95a9e99 from her e073d9cf11 dreams.349eed1de137c7b4

Before she could open 1545e2a5c7 the door, it swung 7a104bc0c7 open from the inside. A handsome 63ada54090 man with 992637732d black hair a5c6766157 came into d1549cdef4 view.3190231898cf8272

He stammered, 79dc029ca8 visibly flustered. For a moment, f3cf484829 Serena thought he 72bed13619 might simply be 42a1fa0046 startled by her e9c349a55d sudden appearance. But that thought quickly 73444ff24b dissipated as she noticed 0d859e1882 someone peeking out from a61c3e8b3a behind him—Lucy.b3077bc75ee73206

Lucy gasped, realizing Serena 26b3946444 was there. Since Zed’s body had 3617e892ac obscured her view of e60dbc0071 the door, Lucy hadn’t f16ec5b81f anticipated someone standing outside.040839571e85661e

She fixed Zed with 16e3ce7fbb a sharp gaze. His face was completely 62f4fbf8f5 different, yet there was 367a19e604 something about his demeanor aaadf3785e that reminded her of 7fb938bcbe Azaid.31c8441b5c280601

Serena suddenly 1ea137bc5b wondered if 5b4f0ff4d8 the sense 47875463cd of familiarity 42a37f3f85 she felt c99bc64acd wasn’t because 2a3395036a he was 7bc5e5746e the boy 4004e9f8f2 from her f1cfa2a762 dreams but c58336553c because he 8d41eee97a was Azaid.05b2a564a89b3f74

Azaid’s expression 906e4c7981 turned serious. The Imperial e3f91cbaa1 medical team 92ed50ab7c was an 0d87ddd1c7 elite group 677a5c4c04 personally sponsored 56068baf3a and nurtured e75d335e8e by the 848c2410e7 royal family.4489c0fc08da6e3b
