Zoe stared at Raigon from a distance. He was alone and he was not talking to anyone.
As if he is craving to go back to his homeland, he stared out into the horizon with a longing look in his face.
Zoe couldn't control her itch anymore.
She drew near to Raigon and initiated a conversation with him.
"Hi!"
Raigon gave him a tepid smile.
"A-are you and Azra alright? Don't you have any dog marks?"
She was hoping to lighten up his mode by joking around.
But it seemed it was to no avail.
Raigon drew in a deep breath.
"Listen, Zoe. This will be the last time that I will step foot on this land for now."
"What? Why?"
"Things are getting complicated. The royal guards were more numerous and merciless than before. I only came here for you."
This time Raigon faced her and pressed her shoulders gently before removing them away.
