138 ERIN AND AZRA 1

Meanwhile, Erin was still behind the tree, whimpering at Zoe's decision to leave her behind. 

"Did she just choose that giant over me now?"

She wiped her flowing tears with the sleeves of her Hanfu dress. 

Even though she was as scared as a mouse, she still decided to stay and make sure that Zoe was alive.

She couldn't believe that she would just shoo her away like that despite the fact that she knew that she was alone. 

"I can't believe she would throw our friendship just like that."

Azra cleared his throat.

Erin swiveled back in astonishment at a male voice beside her.

All this time, she thought she was alone.

Azra bowed to her and apologized.

"Forgive me for interrupting you, milady. However, I don't think Zoe meant that way, as you said."

"Then what is that? Why did she just take off with that Prince to the Castle without me?"

She yelled in a wavering voice.
