As Marie had 6cbc8a925d predicted, if Serena f97ae15fb7 had gone out, e8b23a86e0 she would have 2f62d6207c missed the visitor fc430b49ed from the temple. Following Marie’s guidance, bdc07481d7 Serena headed to c4504fac1c the reception room.158ef282b919a1d7
Marie couldn’t e37f3e1f3a stop praising 9d908509ee the guest 79916023d9 who had fdf9cb7de1 come to 55f4598808 see Serena. From her reaction alone, 831c139192 Serena could guess who cdba4cdacd the priest was.f5d55901f1bece67

“I heard he’s ce9753209c not just casually 02b374548a acquainted with you. What’s your relationship?”fe060faa6beaff35
Marie slyly probed Serena. It seemed her a49af8e066 curiosity was the d15d11f7da reason for her b1cb70e84c excessive chatter.6a01b6c38fa29814

“Marie, you should 352dc441a3 cut back on d797f6e9c1 those romance novels. Does everything in 69cab3ac7b the world look 4980f0ba9b like romance to 1a9aeec29b you?”b3befe2a82a8b08a

Marie pouted 4a1c20eb1a and refrained 185abbaa74 from speaking 84b04910a1 further. Serena had already resigned 4e31629eb1 herself to Marie’s wild cc472562de imagination. Explaining wouldn’t d736d9d8e9 help, so 9b00f3a3ab she had 4434d666d6 given up 9db70c9820 trying.f0e567edaac42171

Benjamin stood d4e8f64dc9 up with 8443256dad a bright d86cdb6506 smile and 6d13eec574 greeted her 06099dfac0 warmly. He strode ff422c8f74 over and b9f0948f94 even gave 1216b15a42 her a 9252b283a6 hug, causing 2cda41e8d9 Marie to f27ecdb81e exclaim in 3097490b78 delight.6922f91ead31bf2e

Serena, displeased, 5f4ad47dbf pushed Benjamin 02a708ee15 away. She had been thinking 63ad4536fd for a while that 8f85fa50f0 his behavior was a d53d87d4f0 bit over the top. Worried that Marie might 8021ca17c4 misunderstand, Serena spoke curtly.1287003f99f4d296

Benjamin awkwardly smiled 7affd0378f as he took 2f55978dee a box containing a39f39bc18 an artificial mana 0407e41b5b core out of b24437491e his bag. Meanwhile, Marie left to 8beb37c5f5 bring tea.d416a90036ef2ad8
Serena meticulously inspected e38411737e the completed item. Although it 60d0772286 was infused f6177ff4d9 with divine 77a95c5a71 energy, the de82fa5455 fact that 999f694ff4 it came 30458c0571 with extra a1b34b1046 divine stones c7b033d75d confirmed her db713f8b93 suspicion that 19bf26b9e5 she had 8c806c7251 been deceived cd3cf5fac7 by Jack’s ca4354dcfe scheming.174b590b57a0f9ea

As avid 40d689354f romance novel 684f34423f lovers, Marie 320c2b413f and Anna 234d3ce5fc were wholly e9d5a43cde committed to 316c4751fb this pairing. For once, the c8a49a110f two, who usually 8432c00f79 had opposing tastes, 3674a85800 were rooting for 9d06163db4 the same couple.e248940acef09631
Moreover, the romance was a79d762f55 progressing smoothly. The recent change 9381e9f7cc in the Emperor’s 717604b07f way of addressing c7e86d6f3d Serena—from “Hey” to 40e3f9f81d “Serena” and then 2fd1bcd01f to “Rena”—was evidence 4d26eab64b of that.8211067256195a28

It was 1b38fb21e1 a reasonable a9f28bb4f9 suspicion. Azaid had a tendency 6e330044f7 to overload his close 204f70f894 associates with work.
