Capítulo 97: Abandoned God

[First Person POV: Eden]

"Give me one good reason: Why are you sitting here?" I questioned the girl with chocolate skin seated next to Emily at the back of the class.

"You're late," Fatima responded as I settled into my seat, Emily on my right, and Aron with Cassia and Nora on the desk below us.

"Answer my question."

"Why can't I be here?" she asked, feigning confusion.

"It's fine; she isn't bothering anyone." Before I could reply, Aron interjected with a smile, earning a glare from me.

"Are you okay with this, Emily?" I asked, fixing my gaze on her. Among those present here, she is the only one who harbors a deep hatred for nobles.

"It's fine," she replied with a slight smile.

"She's my friend now, Eden," Fatima said, holding Emily's hand. "Don't even think about touching her."

"How's your health, Cassia?" I asked, ignoring Fatima.
