Chapter 193 – The Seer [4]
Was that surprising?
To see such a powerful and incredible woman not even able to be composed when faced with that kind of situation?
To see a woman — one who could see through you and see all your possible futures in an instant with frightening ease — crumble like a castle made of sand just because a young boy showed her a little bit of affection?
Was that… surprising?
Yes, if you saw it like a third person who didn't truly understand what was going on.
But let's just… for a little moment, put ourselves in Vaela's position.
She was starved—like a wandering man in a desert with no water in sight—starved of affection. She didn't receive any of the good things in life like love, kindness, or even gratitude.
All her life, all the people around her gave her nothing but cold shoulders and apathy beyond the comprehension of mortal wisdom.
