"Chen Ziya."The name silenced the hall for a second. Every gaze fell upon Zoe, who stood beside Yuan. The jealousy and anxiety in those glances made him uncomfortable.
But Zoe couldn't focus on anyone else. His eyes were fixed on Yuzhen, unable to understand why he called that name instead of Chen Ling or Zera—the two women he was closest with.
"My apologies, but I believe marriage is not a decision made by one alone. I wish to hear Ziya's opinion."Chen Zeon, who knew everything, tried to give Zoe a chance to speak.
If such an opportunity had appeared before, Zoe would have accepted it without hesitation. But now… nothing felt right. His health, his disguise… A question even raised in his mind as 'Is it Zoe or Ziya, Yuzhen actually marrying.'
"I think you're getting old, Master Zeon…" Yuzhen replied coldly. "As the ruler, my decision is absolute. Whether she agrees or not… this wedding will be held."
"Lord—"Before Chen Zeon could continue, Zhihao stopped him by holding his hand.
