Chapter 7: Lurking in the Shadows
Our travel over the next few days was pretty laid back, not too many problems occured so it wasn't bad. I had to learn to lurk in the shadows as we passed through certain places though since it seems not everyone is huge on the slave part of things.
Would it be the same if it was an elf, a beastmen, or even some dwarf? Would people still look at it the same way then if they are against it?
Either way it wasn't the end of the world to hide in the shadows as we passed through since it helped me learn to be sneakier. In the future that could be quite a useful thing to know how to do.
"We should be getting closer if I remember it correctly, I apologize but it's been a long time since I've seen my uncle." Amelia says while looking around the path.
I had no choice but to trust her on the direction since she knows the way to her uncles and I don't. I've been on guard since we started traveling from the estate though.
I'm not really sure I know what to do if we are attacked since killing someone really did take a toll on me. Will it be something I'm capable of doing again when the time comes?
"Artemis. Artemis." Amelia calls out.
He shakes his head and turns his attention back towards her. "Yeah, what's up?" He questions with a bit of a confused look on his face.
"You had no choice but to kill that man. Some people are left with that kind of choice no matter what." Amelia assures with a bit of kindness in her voice.
