Chapter 521

It is becoming more likely that they derive pleasure from people chasing after them, this was definitely not what I wanted to be doing by this time. I only came here to apologize and make amends with him, then turn in for the night. But it is very obvious that we do not always end doing what we want or long for, those were the words I kept encouraging myself with as I raised the hem of my gown and chased after him. He was still in my line of sight fortunately, so  I still have some atom of chance to catch up with him,

I take back my words now, it seems like I have been running forever, which no hopes of ever catching up to him. He was running like a man in a mission, who would not rest until he has achieved it. This was all annoying and frustrating to me because all the food I stored in were all depleted as a result of this impromptu race, I could cry right now. My confusion became obvious when he turned in the opposite direction from his mother's tent, was he so clouded by what he was doing that he has forgotten the way,

" It.. it is this way.." I called after him pointing in the right direction,

But my words must not have gotten to him or if it did, he paid them no heed. I kept looking in the two direction with my hand still hanging towards tye right path, I had to bring it down when I noticed that he was far too gone to turn back. There was no other option than to continue the chase before I would lose sight of him entirely. I was the only one on the road at the moment, I should be frightened but it made me happy,

I had a lot on my mind with the elder's son eccentric behavior and I needed to have my full concentration on him, if we had people on the way right now, they would have been drawing my attention away with their unavoidable pointing,  murmuring. As a result of the fact that they were so tacky with it, I would have no, choice but to lash out at them in frustration. I also realized that my breath and strength were depleting fast, my ears were ringing and it seems as if my vision was wavering,

I knew that if I continue on like this, I was only signing my death slip, and like I will always say, I did not come this far to die a worthless death. I stopped then rested my hands on my knees, I was almost in a crouching position, with the placement of my hands. I was panting badly and it was not a pretty sight, neither was I in the mood to fix it. When I felt like I was able to breathe normally, I lowered myself to the ground but there was nothing to lean on.
