Chapter 33

Yuna grew happy when she heard his reply, “I’ll take you there. It shouldn’t be that far from here.” She followed him through the forest. She wasn’t suspicious of him because she didn’t see any signs of deception in his behavior. Otherwise, she’d probably have to find her way back alone. Although she had a good sense of direction, she let herself get carried away enjoying the beautiful garden.

Yuna had a tough time catching up to him. He had so much more endurance and stamina compared to her and his legs were extremely long. She was so short compared to him; the top of her head reached his shoulders. After a while, he noticed that she was far behind him. He then slowed down his pace a great deal.

He could see that she was heaving from the fast walk she had to do to catch up to him. He felt bad for walking too fast. He was very skilled in martial arts and he wasn’t used to letting people follow him. He matched her pace and walked just two steps ahead of her.
