123 DURING THREE MONTHS

Zoe shut her eyes tightly and opened them again.

'Have I gone crazy now? Am I seeing his face in every male creature in this kingdom?'

He was also staring at her, with the same calm waves within his eyes. He also has that perfectly situated nose and thin cherubic lips.

'How could I forget the face that saved me over and over again?'

Tears started to well within her eyes as she recalled their last moment together.

"I thought I will never see you again." 

Zoe extended her hand to touch his face but to her surprise, he furrowed his eyebrows and drew back. 

"Y-you must be mistaken, milady. I have never seen you before." 

He explained his sudden cold reaction.

"My lord!" Azra rushed to his side and bowed to him. 

"Azra…." Zoe uttered under breath as her eyes widened all the more

"I apologize for being late. I just helped an old lady carry her goods."

"Apology accepted."
