Chapter 8: Amelia’s Uncle
Beautiful fields, people tending to the gardens, and even some people drinking tea out by the tables were all around. Quite a sight for most people to see nowadays, especially during a time like this.
"My uncle is a bit odd if I remember correctly so I apologize about that in advance. But I did promise to break the pact." Amelia mentions with a hint of sadness in her voice.
Perhaps it isn't the end of the world to be bound by this pact to her, or maybe I'm just used to being told what to do. I'm not sure if I should be happy or if I should be upset about the new situation at hand.
I've wanted to be free but yet I stopped believing that it would happen a long time ago. That's how I was brought into this world in the first place, raised as a slave to a nice family.
"I'll meet your uncle first. I want to make sure you're left in the right hands before anything else." Artemis says while giving her a reassuring smile.
I'm worried that her Uncle will be targeted next in all honesty but there's nothing I can really do about it right now. A one on one might be possible since I managed last time but I think it was just luck.
Multiple of those guys would crush me in an instant so it's best to play this cautiously until I know what's going on.
"I appreciate that Artemis. Let us head inside then." Amelia responds cheerfully before leading the way Into the house.
It was definitely still nice to see properties like this since I didn't see them much in my previous life. I lived in a suburban environment if that's what I could even call it, it was a good mix of things for the most part.
