Chapter 8 - 08: Comparing herself with a Bull
"Hey! Are you alright?" the girl asked Liora when she got no response from her.
The girl looked at the boy beside her and clenched her fist as a thought came into her mind. Her little face became pale with tension.
"Why is she not responding? She is dazed... staring blankly at the front." The girl gulped before continuing her words. "Is she going to turn into a zombie?"
"No! How could she? She is a strong girl, and we did not see any zombie's bite on her." The boy replied in a shaky tone. He was also not ready to see their savior turn into a zombie in front of their eyes.
"No... no, it can't be..." The girl's voice shook, and in an impulse, she shook Liora's body without thinking of any consequences. She knew that humans transforming into zombies were the most feral, and anyone who disturbed them did not have a good ending. But still, she took the risk.
"Whoa! What happened?" Liora asked as she snapped out from conversing with the system and looked at the girl with an incredulous expression.
"What happened?" she asked again.
"Wahh! Wahh! I thought you were going to turn into a zombie." The girl said with tears streaming down her face and hugged Liora tightly.
Liora became baffled as she was suddenly hugged. No one had ever hugged her like this in the past. Her status was so high in the past that no one dared to casually hug her. Even her imperial mother and father had never hugged her after she had grown up.
The body contact became less and less as she grew up as a princess, and someone hugging her this tightly was out of the question.
Her hands were awkwardly hanging on both sides as she did not know how to comfort the girl. The girl was crying hysterically in her arms while choking up on her tears.
