When Azaid took an dfdfba6079 interest in the garden, 6f3c8e0b47 the baroness gave a e9a7c73df4 satisfied smile, as if bb3aacf471 she had completely forgotten 74428126b5 how her daughter had 7bf07162f4 just been chastised by 33a02b3ab2 the emperor moments earlier.7a4de89c31180103

That glass garden 2f35042229 was the place eb0015dda5 the baroness was c5f344d7b7 most proud of. She had meticulously selected b32f698ee2 expensive and rare species 9c973ab88b to make it visually 178f6a0fe0 appealing to others.bb6ae5ca72498e93

Azaid asked the c6e560ccc8 baroness, “Is that d1d181a26f the place Serena d085ce66e1 used to tend?”83118ddbe9444ca0

“Pardon? Oh, yes, there ecb608ebe8 was a time 739e9d0216 she did. But now it’s maintained 53adc5ba84 by a gardener.”d05f3a631e280961

The baroness 8ca59c974e gave an ddc6580b1d awkward smile 6e190c2a33 and observed 8f56e31338 Azaid’s reaction. She couldn’t understand a758f8468b why he was fac4ad9bf3 suddenly bringing up 443a6edf1b Serena. More so, she wondered ca65546e36 how he even knew cc555218ae Serena had worked in d5494d1f70 the garden.f1e730dab2e80cdc

The baroness glanced f6fcca41af at Lydia with 3efce370b6 a look that dce2d17c81 said, Surely not. No matter how reckless 70db349ca0 she might be, it 2405d9654f seemed unlikely that Lydia 0ce36f4b99 would casually bring up 44b09aba68 Serena, the emperor’s personal d18cd9c5bd physician, in front of 06467962cd him.52a43ae06a9d723a

Azaid, however, cut her 8b14aac5aa thoughts short with a 1991605a44 brief remark.846aac742e4d99e8

The Imperial e683b6db01 Palace and af1a248704 Vincent Castle 4fb9a417d2 were quite 9c5ddad29d a distance d556a83e8c apart. There was no way 4dfd3a9314 the palace could see 08577934ac Vincent Castle, let alone b1573693da its garden.afd856d0da45929f

Moreover, the 05c05130f7 palace was 4aeb895fff the largest 7291f8ba02 and tallest 3580c23fb9 structure in a3c917f0d8 the capital. Even if the 34a8258910 garden of this b8e7f89c83 modest Vincent Castle d82b4cf6c9 was visible, it ddabcf04c2 wouldn’t harm the d80436ccb7 aesthetics of the 9445077cea palace.67a2fd2a0684e902

The bustling 32403a0bd9 servants made 537eb9baf0 for a 14fea094d9 chaotic scene. But the 53759a3e4b magical fire f0df4d1157 wouldn’t be 1e17c8f35c extinguished by 0fbc409196 a few f4ccfa3422 buckets of d84404e21b water.91d32e028db8a615

The baron, pale 728e13a2c4 as a sheet, 78acf9f522 stared at Azaid. To show f0c28d40ef up unannounced 9367d5af58 and set 9cbac6f1f7 the garden 97afc97240 ablaze—this was 4314aa66f3 practically a 4e55c56b74 public declaration 396705ed78 that they’d 66830e6318 fallen out 4ec9a626c2 of favor b55ec80150 with the e16a81a4b9 emperor.0e18d9ea74ba1023

Just then, the communication cd10be395f orb buzzed. Leonard, who fc4e2b7972 had stepped f973aac893 out to e8efdd200c take the f4a4e23c0f call, turned 1b007aae24 his head fd9bcb1c45 toward the 7c87b20a72 commotion. When he saw the 971424e8a8 burning garden, his face b454eb9922 twisted in disbelief.5ea12117a5c2a5c3

“Jack, sorry, 7599ffb706 but now’s a6b832b135 really not b9479fd105 the time 52886d4b2e to talk. I’ll call 7742685f57 you later….”09f9048afbb66650

Azaid’s expression grew 404a064733 more bewildered as 1c5ca88d82 he stared at 72da8655d9 the orb. Then, a sudden suspicion 2a92942867 arose—how had Serena gotten 759776740e Leonard’s private communication code?29dcca98b356eb91

Azaid couldn’t comprehend e563354d8e why Serena was 77ab70654a with Jack. And in an 444dddf203 inn, no less.8d47a9bb08c9fe50

Azaid’s mood, which had 76591c6072 lifted slightly as he bf9fda81a6 watched the garden burn 07e4c10413 earlier, sank like a 4a7e4763b8 stone. He had b3ca51d003 found some a33a46b789 satisfaction in 582768b41b avenging young a086dc8701 Serena’s pain b1ca4ab711 by destroying c8787d8492 the garden.d4d481d952ebcd74
