Hot breath tickled Serena’s 55170aa263 skin. The vibrations of the 64dc416cdc moving carriage resonated loudly 7c1284da02 along with her heartbeat.a9dac83a4d27f3ca

Serena parted 2a8c8090ea her lips f33f4edf4d softly. She knew c212c16fef that even c765904d28 the slightest 21c3a0c67b movement would cde06b7cb1 bring them 0c323edc88 into contact, 7d5877708b yet she 109a502b63 showed no b54f7079c3 hesitation.8399c76556477428

The lips 4a9c4ad58b that brushed 23d04c5e4b against hers fb3416ee96 and then 6982b050b0 withdrew felt 7009f12b12 hot. Azaid, too, didn’t step 9b71bbf7f5 back. Instead, he curled 5045996807 the corner of 0933b218b0 his lips slightly.087683e216e3af33

It wasn’t that 81bd1e50aa she wasn’t afraid. In truth, 19bae03ad8 she had e1855ff226 been so cad245fdd7 scared that 71bd4bb2cc she pretended bb136073fc to be 2c2e88de1b strong.a5e060772d7ebe7a

Back then, 98a7a3afd6 standing before 3f39227d09 Azaid was ad235c680b no different 8f3f1eb9eb from walking 13c6618658 to her ccc46cc9a6 death. If she didn’t b7f7c0c3b0 save the Emperor, 0b5c994bb6 she was doomed 49b0103991 as well, so 771208571a she had struggled 97c46243ca desperately to keep 73d3881cab him alive.80d2ceb7c36cdb4e

But thanks to that, 623c1003b1 this life hadn’t ended 1426556231 in vain like the 86d50933be last one. She had 429003202f also uncovered e44b749ffc truths she 5766c82f82 hadn’t known 319cacb750 before. Serena remained silent, listening c5f8cc38b3 to him, as if a8f0d8947b urging him to continue.244a5737ade430db

Azaid chuckled 7f3ce0cf1c as he a2ee74ea0f recalled the 031da7f6e0 first time 6f7b016733 he met ffd2acf4a0 Serena. He could still vividly 14325c0d4d picture the way she 358f054110 had boldly told him e39ae99314 to kill her.b25fcdea97ba4bbb

The sight of 9f69f8ebe0 her, unafraid of 4d2222cc69 death, had been 70e67d4ab2 strikingly dignified.89eb2eaf876784d2

Azaid frowned, as if c69f08ad1f afraid someone might steal 06db783fea Serena away. His excessive 2bf73a52a3 protectiveness nearly 0acc6339a1 made her 64810f3a6f burst into ba532753c1 laughter.ca510e249b17780c

Thanks to b05de3eb3f this, Nocturne 16e2e092f2 was now cd3c1a75c4 a free 3764296080 man, living d050b7ad9a under the 5788093249 guise of 213760dfdf Gordon’s trading 9fb6f6400d company while ca47312c59 making thorough b7aa700262 preparations to 1bcc84b48f strike against 59f9d3d300 the Duke.fd543f0ade4738d9

One of 93bd4cbbf4 those preparations dbda47cf25 involved luring 97caee54e8 in James.

James was a man eba3b4a7ca drowning in inferiority, despicable 9892b6b6dc by nature, and cruel dea6dfd95c to the weak.9c8e3a063cff9d55

After the 291cdded93 last incident, 67f4496110 he had fc302d950b begun to 92503bef44 suspect the 13f9b94239 Duke, and 949f09b2c6 it was 34161f9f74 clear that 71f0daee04 his baseless 282cd32e4d delusions would f5e17098c8 eventually push 32a8ac17b9 him to 542feacddb make a afb9718821 drastic move.d7966f42412dfe5b
