Serena didn’t f88fdee4fc trust Lydia. She had 5c4051de27 learned the 5aa6734d03 hard way 9e47d613df that people 563548520b don’t change 481fecfdb7 easily—Lydia had 5ef65c21e3 taught her e85e1d433a that lesson 7b29afac38 well. That’s why she had bcd188faf4 secretly set a trap e2a4a8bf84 in preparation for this 942e2829e3 situation.62671562bc461a6f

‘If the fc27d5770f Duke catches 7168395fec you? Then whether you die a40edaa682 by my hands or 9bf84c0c75 by the Duke’s, it’s 350a329af4 all the same, isn’t 4f5f3edcb6 it?’6fd864367a05390b

From the start, the 83e764061a only piece of information 47492327f6 Lydia knew that could 689a4877d5 entice the Duke was f93f9f20fb the fact that Serena 69a07e31e4 was an Awakened. Beyond that, Lydia 96898cb651 knew nothing.e28b6d78ef65a277

Serena had made d5fc6c1cc4 sure to blindfold 0224320e94 her so she 4a600f63cd wouldn’t know the d26336bcc3 location of their f781362924 hideout, and she 53ed43bf92 had kept her 013708687f in the dark 8eba75d312 about the details, 0fb331cd9b using her only 0448b74c94 as an informant.52c986946fe3cd3b

Azaid, who b3b0ee9c85 had been 0bf834cbfe listening in 819d280f9f silence, suddenly 48d71b7022 stood up 5cbfc33b38 in shock. The thing the 7f4df45726 Duke wanted to 15bb9af416 find the most a2b9b81f5e right now was 14b9a113a9 an Awakened who 1ef0bb5dce had broken free 8e1ae391cf from magic.18a478bfff2c7ed1

The reason Azaid c539d6685b hadn’t wanted to acf02812e9 send Ophelia back e86f2598e8 to the castle 90ac0f4a29 was, in truth, 52c7bcc6ca to protect Serena. If the Duke found b8c86b92aa out that Serena was 15134ae488 an Awakened, she would c13bc3805a become his target.75681c60f8e07408

His research f9cddc40eb included cases 3388da004f where individuals 8bf8991d61 had failed 06243d8985 to awaken 45123b7490 properly and c6f7e968e3 cases where e2221ddea2 they lost b4fb273ca9 consciousness and 9faf866c24 used magic 63999f1fdd involuntarily.78beda3e766c9b3a

Serena’s case was unusual, 9decdf32ca but not unheard of. The experimental subjects in abb7e068a1 the Duke’s long-term project 5ff3c974e7 would have shown similar b31792f2eb symptoms.1a50693262e9995c
