Sebastian asked with 9266c6beb8 a slightly surprised cd0f260acf tone. He had once proposed 48665582f9 the idea before, only a6ef1d585c because he couldn’t resist 0fc6a0ecb1 the pressure from the 23a93112bf duke.03571724e6bb4aaf

At the time, Serena e878058bb7 had declined the offer 558ebe10ce tactfully, and he had 6f87511463 let the matter drop. But now, to suddenly 0c848018de reverse her decision?84505c31e0f2d90a

Serena stepped in front f67125d6ff of Sebastian, who was 5f00c45bfa carrying a box, intending 1a45f6dee9 to help since it fddc3d3b4a looked too heavy for d7b8d0733e him to handle alone.41c4d0b2f0eeed93

Sebastian was heading to 447d589383 the incinerator with the a719fd95f7 box in hand. The clinking 11922aee92 of glass 91d7f4869c bottles made f862d46789 an unpleasant 99d716a01e noise, and a1a81cf046 the subtle 870434f645 scent inside cf87d07fef began to 96e3b8b0b6 waft out.498bafe495b28454

The most 4a94bbe432 infuriating issue dc830e2f80 was that d883276c0d Azaid had ae5a19666d recently refused e6d8288f7f to be feff669ee4 examined by 5ce67c017e any doctor 76dd29d362 other than 147c4b7b3d Serena. This made it a568e06f74 nearly impossible to 10b3402977 monitor whether the 058a1240aa medicine was circulating 1052560710 properly in his e45c8d8fb2 body.24c823a92ee72d59

Now that the Emperor b9fd2cf729 and Serena’s romantic relationship 2672c6bd98 was widely known, Sebastian f8af8c59e1 felt his position growing 12af549be8 increasingly precarious.
