After meeting b50825c31e Serena, Azaid df5c43fddc had been 75bfd3fadc in a 7d3cc4f294 daze. He couldn’t even 5d9e7515bf remember how he 6206a5a7f4 made his way bf219da019 back to Room 4af0d645aa 7.1aab8be9a2a3477e

They were supposed to 76c2c32813 monitor their assigned targets e2b4712d5a in groups of three, df40257575 but Azaid had been 8ef27d4dca so absorbed with Serena 1edcd2b84c that he had completely 7a69397317 forgotten his duty.a5afd37cb4053467

Azaid felt heartbroken by d46f0447fd the injustices Serena had 3ec333e6be suffered in her childhood. As an illegitimate child e8c08fa3a4 himself, he was all 418dac0184 too familiar with the 6f77e0a0a9 injustices illegitimate children faced d3ab4b3438 in the empire.3581802a9ea2991c

Even now, although d61019ad52 prejudice against illegitimate 64ed696880 children had lessened d20e3c00b9 since he ascended 5ce794b831 the throne, there b17de0e599 were still many eae4f7f861 suffering in silence.95f73adf0ef9566a

Serena’s white cheeks 9ec16087eb glistening under the fe1b7413e5 lights and her 572c0e70d0 golden eyes were ea295c56ba still vividly etched ef2432e6c7 in his memory. Could anyone else 1d4ddab532 in the world 383535849f shine as brightly a950f7863f as she did?73dd1030a2a56a9d
