Chapter 543

He recoiled back like I just slapped him with my words, I gained a little bit of satisfaction from that, that was exactly how I felt when he kept making me out to look like the bad person. On the bright side, I only said that to his mother, because I thought he was going to mend it over with her easily, how was i to know that they had a subsisting fued that had not been resolved?. He shook his head at me slowly with hurt on his face, but he may think he is the only one who can do that, so I decided to prove him wrong,

I shook my head side by side too, in time with his movement, it was childish but right now, I did not care one bit. Calling him a child by the way was maybe taking it too far, but if he was he should just admit it. It is never his fault and that would not change how I have always thought about it but it would make more sense. The elder would never allow a recognized and accepted child from his loin leave the clan but one that is not accepted may be asked to prove himself worthy for acceptance and he has to cross some hurdles and come back alive to be recognized as the father's child,

It is the rules, although I have never seen or heard of an instance where it happened, but the rules the land that is ingrained in our memories, stipulates for such. I waited for him to walk away, that was the normal response I expected and I would have done so too, if not that I was tired and wanted to enjoy the sky and weather whilst thinking of what is bound to happen to me, when the elder is done with his mom. The sight of him cowering is one that I have saved in my memories, and I would use it to tease him even when it may cost me my life,

" I am not a child of his by the way but we are related in a way"

After saying that, he plopped down on the bare floor as if he was in a tent and leaned back so he could enjoy the view above him, since this has been my intention From the onset, I did not need any invitation before I followed suit. The earth felt a bit cold to touch but I knew my body would adjust to it after a while,

" How so?" I was sticking to short sentences now, so as not to say anything that would offend anyone,

" My mother was his mother's sister's daughter" I waited for him to expand further on it but he just ended there,

How did he expect me to start drawing the family tree and figure out who his mother was, I was definitely not willing to stress my head that much but I never pass over a challenge.
