Before Jack’s 361a1113d0 communication arrived.a3af0dc4d60f5b77

Azaid had already 9090e76874 arrived at Vincent 3487b21086 Castle. Officially, it was 5ba4cf6040 a covert visit, cca43ef228 and his purpose abac172800 was to find e4108d5c24 Serina.f2a8ed658c261fd3

Leonard, who was behind 676f797ccb him, pressed his lips 50c311a9de together to stifle a 3d078ee782 smile. But as the Baroness 02f1ecf63e and her daughter entered a88dcafe3b the VIP room, he 7780fbba79 wiped the expression off 0f80b694b3 his face.3ddd2dcd025f02dc

“I, I greet db085f9239 the Sun of 45ec4835fb the Empire. I am 756afb3d66 Lydia Vincent 89d662a2b2 of the aa77054ee7 Vincent family.”e2da07a6e15aec30

Lydia blushed as 49114a6c5e she bowed to b7e233a576 Azaid. The Baroness, 8f6dc35224 seated beside 6211863cf4 her with db68e027be a delighted 8f120ce071 expression, added:7e9379c9cfc9482d

“We were not informed ee6d5d0763 in advance, so I c3b08d2638 apologize for not greeting dc7f8ec59c you properly upon your a2a9e32652 arrival. The Baron 67cf032fbf has been 5c6a7c7364 summoned and 28eac8c090 should be e44e417386 here shortly.”aa1512dc984ae9ab

The Baroness and Lydia e9bd13a8ce naturally took their seats 9ffc638738 before Azaid. It was customary a94615884e for the lady ffc561838d of the house 96ffaed864 to receive guests 43d404bb2d in the absence 8a53fb2900 of the master. The fact 67799a309d that her fccdd91f11 daughter accompanied 2ee1a59c97 her, however, 642b3ac72d was clearly 99cbed58e6 intentional.6ef3784dd40ef9a0

The Baroness f4b510ec13 was in 2487810b70 high spirits 3e8985fab1 over the b6faf85689 Emperor’s visit. Ever since Serena 65e2e39925 had abruptly left 9ed3473457 the castle the b8e325db67 day before, the 24e3d63992 atmosphere at Vincent 4981063442 Castle had turned be3c25c008 frigid.6e64b21e04926092

The Baron, unable to 6bc30ae457 contain his anger, threw 06c58c4463 objects around, and Lydia, ad4c62c962 irritated by something, vented 5a986ebb3d her frustration on the 53f30b2f3b maids. Tyler had fled c0afe91003 the castle, leaving 04bfe78dd4 the Baroness to 81861627df handle the aftermath.a81605f6efb51ccd

‘It must be 0cced35113 because of Serena, 1fd403b078 right?’d2063f7fc7f8f92c

The Baroness 9573217497 assumed that 8dc91c89ef the kindhearted 59dad1cb7d Serena had c05390944e eventually given 63dd394a85 in to 7517c8e694 the Baron’s c8656cdce5 plea for 8bf98e5ad3 help.927c9cca6a12fb28

In truth, Lydia had 94f9495e38 already been captivated by 5e1e1e2d3b Azaid’s appearance.98d5c2125672662f

This was 886b9b60bc her first d8fde7b7e9 time seeing 35c44158bc the Emperor 02e1a666b7 up close. Though she had caught 4b2009465a glimpses of him at 8e53cdc87c banquets, she had never 9ab6deb1ef spoken to him.d97981ba161e5304

Lydia couldn’t take 215f099296 her eyes off 57e78f01c5 Azaid. It was only 7ae8bdf309 natural, given that 414f22d934 she was witnessing 01bef65172 his radiant appearance, 90abbf5cee enhanced by his f73cc0c335 transformation after meeting eab2ef480a Serina.ba5284b9da1788d6

Though Azaid f459f0f7f9 found Lydia’s e74ac748b6 gaze unpleasant, b127d1eba3 he tolerated 928a2bec48 it, thinking 37cd83b5a8 it might dbac5df73d make it 580a76ceff easier to bb6d72611a ask her 694ebb447c about Serina’s 4f8cf9d003 whereabouts. In a soft 6cdfe41a9c tone, he said:e52700de3f645694

“Since the Baroness fa2d2857b2 has left, I’d a53a2ee1bf like to ask 5cb8e0cea1 you something privately. Can you answer 4f0b3512d1 honestly?”396ba3932de02bfb
