137 CROSSROAD

'I hate lies, but I guess I just have to do with it for now.'

"Of course, not." Zoe responded with her fingers crossed.

Fortunately, Raigon was too focused with keeping the horse in control that he didn't notice her fingers twitch even if her hands were on his abdominals.

Zoe decided to turn the tables by asking the same question to him.

"How about you, your Highness? If given a chance, would you leave Terra?"

Even though she wanted to deny it, she still has a little bit of hope that there would be a place where they could live together, whether in this world or not.

Raigon looked at beyond the horizon and drew in a deep breath before he answered.

"No."

Zoe shrugged her shoulders as she heard his response.

'What am I expecting? Have you forgotten that you resolved to yourself not to connect with him anymore, Zoe Cheng?'

Nonetheless, she tried to act cheerful at his answer even if it broke her heart.
