Patricia had been watching everything unfold from the sidelines when Zoren suddenly appeared. The second her eyes landed on him, bitterness and fear swelled in her heart. Yet, despite her fear of Zoren, she couldn't bring herself to leave.
How could she leave when she was staring at a man with such a divine presence?
It wasn't like she didn't know that Zoren was considered a legend. But with him standing in this crowd, he definitely stood out. She watched how everyone looked at him with admiration—from both men and women alike.
If only Patricia could stand beside such a man. Everyone would be so jealous. But alas, Zoren hated her, and he terrified her more than anything. Patricia only snapped out of her thoughts when she heard her mother's voice join the situation.
She knew it was going to be bad, and thus, she was trying to sneak away when she heard her mother call.
"Patricia!"
