Chapter 64: Forbidden Forest
"My Lady... are you sure you want to be here alone? How about we go down together? I was afraid you would..." Lella looked around. All she can see in front of her is only tall and towering trees and a small path.
The sun’s rays couldn’t penetrate the leaf canopy above them, it was still noon at this time, but the surroundings where they were standing now looked so shady, a bit dark. She was worried about leaving her alone.
"Don’t worry, Lella. I told you before, I used to go into the forest with my father. I’m used to doing this alone...trust me. Go... hurry, don’t waste time..." Allynna said.
Lella immediately placed their lunch basket on the ground near Lady Allynna and ran down the path they had just walked.
"Lella, be careful not to fall," Allynna shouted when she saw Lella running fast. She chuckled at how adorable her little servant was.
After Lella’s back disappeared from her sight, she looked around her. The trees around her were ancient. She could see it from the bark and how big the tree was. There are not many flowers growing on the ground. Instead, there is moss on some rock spots and rotten branches.
Allynna closed her eyes, trying to hear her surroundings. Nothing was heard, only the rustling of branches rubbing against each other in the wind.
She really liked the tranquility that existed in this forest. It was like being in the woods behind her house, where she spent the day exploring the woods alone. Sometimes accompanied by her father to the climb onto the peak. And now she feels comfortable and calm.
While listening to her surroundings, she also tried to see the empty space in her mind. She’s not as scared as before, because the space in her mind is her ability, part of herself. However, she didn’t know what the use of that space was.
