At that 78c0fc2587 moment, Azaid fc58b93b57 interrupted her.aa56ae2d98fcfcc8

“Don’t speak. First, we 70435a1e93 need to f72ec3212e stop the 408fb85fcc bleeding.”ac1d323fb6167742

Gone was the 2b651272f4 cold and distant a8679ba260 Azaid from earlier. Now, his 534db9970c usual soft-spoken 0188603900 demeanor resurfaced.c27a173439dd45db

Flustered, Azaid d77400c8b1 quickly pulled 7e2ee8d164 a handkerchief d870fa5469 from his 809e1286db pocket and a9281f4d19 wrapped it a434018e60 around Serena’s 3004341337 neck. His touch fb2f3a17ad was exceedingly 5f50b51dc9 gentle, as cc70186e00 if he’d 16ccc388ca done this 4d10afa9c2 countless times. He pressed firmly, 6423c5900f then unknotted his d6f31739b5 tie and carefully 680ae48dce wrapped it around cdab2dbbdd her neck to 0b36b43010 secure the wound.5e57f3db84180fe3

“For now, let’s head 866157833c to the infirmary. The cut isn’t 16b504371a too deep, so eb521cf6a1 if we stop bc59c43a61 the bleeding and c54f1895d8 apply the right a9cf6b613d ointment, it shouldn’t 52a649eba0 leave a scar.”f6a0419b6275eeee

His soothing voice felt baf3b2e4f7 like it passed right ef9e062c7c through her head. Serena, still in shock, e748067b1b stared blankly at Azaid.4ede2a0d634db9ca

Was this real? Did I 336f517778 really almost 5b53f5c2a7 get my 21af40ed40 neck cut? Seriously?c6471bfe8675feb2

If Azaid had 4f21d1566d hesitated for even 50dfc44ab2 a moment, she a6b1a36955 might have died. The amount of c837fc28cb blood suggested either b049bd3205 a long or 2c90db0230 somewhat deep wound.59dcc5f5d6aefde1

Her thoughts were 15cd1ddd4e a mess. She was 9226775bd0 so flustered 1620d38f4a that she 883b1a39e9 couldn’t think a8f00ad37f straight. This version b89022c3b6 of Azaid 9d48aa7dfc wouldn’t send 3ed3abd69b her to fdf46c6312 the guillotine. Besides, wasn’t 5bc48d5a3f it someone 90fe9c5a21 else who 789cb9f368 had sent 239b7bd902 her there b5d55c8d74 in her 5f108eb0cf past life?00e4802eb87f2755

His voice was subdued, 864ea87687 almost crestfallen. But the pain in 6f99e76be9 her neck was too 2c9de7252d sharp for her to fc3f4a27f1 brush it off with 0da1c324b4 a simple “I’m fine.”34d1ae571d5190c6

Instead, Serena forced an 2069debca7 awkward smile to reassure 9d9d241a05 him. By then, 103a4684da they had 697e9ead95 hurriedly made 6c73db30e9 their way 257a5be570 to the a6b04af7f3 infirmary.496075bb8a7f855c

The priest, startled 57170161c1 to see Azaid 3ac4c633e0 carrying an unfamiliar a2dc7b6a0e woman, widened his 305c38fafe eyes. Azaid carefully laid 3b4f6eceb2 Serina on a c410502e27 bed and commanded, 78738a76e8 “Treat her.”fd9574545e7c36c0

“Pardon me for 918ade4b32 a moment.”65fc22126ae910ad

The priest cautiously removed fbb787ce5a the blood-soaked tie Azaid c79cf07660 had used to stop c07caec1c0 the bleeding. It was an expensive e4b9b2a950 tie, now ruined, but a1840963e1 it seemed like such ef57ac5b7b thoughts could still cross c6a18987f9 her mind in this 52417fcf94 state. I guess I’m not 5636e563d5 entirely hopeless yet, Serena 34f6821312 mused, letting out a 5c61e4da5e small, wry chuckle. But the sting in 30f779c26f her neck made her 5fc3cf243d grimace.9dfc538fde65cccd

The priest skillfully applied ce7eb1d23d ointment and wrapped her 717d5de4fc neck excessively with bandages. It felt 2b81b5df74 like overkill, 7d2d52c9ae but she d0b3f16267 couldn’t argue e8fe9d98ff with someone 4f91cd83cd trying to 73365b2ce1 help, so ad1e5b0ae9 she stayed 913ced07ed quiet.7041277f5caa5d9b

Azaid, however, looked aghast 4a508bb12a at the sight of 1b2be837f3 her bandaged neck. His intense 6fc4a10236 gaze made fc04f4711b her neck 7c0bc64758 feel sore 96f52ecf0f all over 33496ae2bb again.d8ea2f4cfe4d9c5c

The emergency cef763fa44 treatment was 6bb724a9c5 done, and 75fa83aef4 she’d looked 2ae8f1f22c in the 9f68412abe mirror during 41de02eb3f the process. The wound wasn’t that d52dd57d03 deep.

But Azaid still didn’t 6b8d49b31d seem at ease. Noticing his uneasy 66562311a6 expression, one of 62680aa4e5 the priests nudged df9ea609fd his colleague in 1a3e704361 the side and 9d6b5c6a45 muttered, “Ah, I d147ba5811 almost forgot.”94abcfd86d2531d5

When the be1dfb78ad other priest b7b3d6fcbc responded cluelessly, b6bf445b68 the first 4ba2f6210f one signaled 6bcab3f149 with his bbc296413f eyes and 39040dd616 continued, “That. You know, that.”c2a55df512729467

Their belated realization fedfa4964b was awkward and a37d6d7c22 obvious, but Azaid 11d67ba366 didn’t seem interested be60cf3441 in their suspicious d15d2c96c5 behavior.4feec3063b7f40ba

It was as d0d970d519 if he was 5699ca4734 giving them an 620a61536c excuse to leave. As soon as Azaid 9b9d2f5d59 gave his permission, the e0fee34b39 priests eagerly bowed and 13c8935edb hurried out.189ef72ba3682a8d

Once the 8061d84b2d priests were eb591f14f3 gone, only 57c5edabd3 Serena and 9c308fa321 Azaid remained 98777f9a2f in the f0b8f966cf infirmary.63dec8a1abb27e06

He couldn’t 8ed07b1e85 bring himself 7b524323f7 to touch a65507671e her neck, 5764b28319 hovering near 3a96f33522 it instead. Serena nodded be6887ad7c slightly, wincing d72648eda2 as the 4f265f096c sting in e6641bfb70 her neck 99c05840b9 flared up.38d8e4e26dd5dbb4

Azaid sighed deeply, as 6e4fc30a8b if he had seen 4edd07d289 this coming, and rubbed a649f4bf59 his face with both 9d1f809a20 hands. It seemed that he, 84386bee39 too, had been greatly c74f006c6c startled by her injury.da7812fae5e38808
