“You’re so insufferable.”7f51492c37bdd3a8

Ophelia muttered a low dbd06a46e1 curse as she snatched e833004292 the magic orb. While Nocturne chuckled cd72ccc8df leisurely, she examined cd14801c94 the orb.c5e92e72b746033c

It was a fire-attributed 372ec40d31 magic orb, powerful enough b2b7ea2ec2 to burn down an cf6a3285f2 entire hall. James blinked in 3655584793 confusion, unable to 739de989ef grasp the situation.6c3df3d776511962

Nocturne wasn’t supposed to d17197fdd3 be awake right now. He had seen 5b30e4830a with his own 0b80073985 eyes that Nocturne 93682c8275 drank the wine d6f749c94f spiked with a 91c2292e65 sleeping drug…98c427623d5a0638

Patrick, who had been aafa46dd57 swaying drunkenly, snatched a dafd17304e wine bottle from a 54b78bb26d waiter and smashed it 9efb072251 against the wall. One side of 5e66b99b22 the wall was 8094efa178 stained red with c993796f8c wine, eerily resembling dea34bd0cc bloodstains.a5ce073e0f5990cc

James hiccupped cbba9b36bd in shock 1bdacce94f at Patrick’s ae5ad6ece9 sudden action. Patrick, normally composed, 4a5f8e60d7 had never behaved 9c4ea133b6 so recklessly.

A calm, b169372797 oceanic voice 4c5217b695 echoed through 686ed06ebd the hall. All eyes turned 03ce0a9ff8 toward the terrace eb5d895b4b entrance, where Azaid 9d1969290b leaned casually against 9988db000b the wall.a9ee3f88fc477228
