Leaning against ac84890aff the doorframe 09be2082f5 with a ffbf53e671 slouched posture, e2056c9cc4 Yuan opened 66a95782fa his mouth 8ddb9963d5 as he 15841c6f4f looked at 22e39aa43d Serret.5614c9ad363063b6

The wound on his d9a7d5e6dc smooth forehead felt strangely 31ebbe1265 out of place. It seemed a28b5e77e2 as if b4c9f5a973 Duke Yuan 368d165a87 Prechtuster should 5e4c9eb2cb not have c74a1c5f9a even a 42ec3503ef single small de2a65c692 scar.c6bac565952b3df7
