Chapter 163
RYN
I remained stunned as I sat on the floor of the living room, back at the Watcher’s mansion.
Looking through the documents, I realized my parents had major stakes in real estate, technology, and so on, most of which were based in the east.
I wonder why that was.
No one talks about the East. No one even knows whether it’s a kingdom or just a place.
It just is.
But my parents had most of their businesses and assets there.
Is that why I remember nothing of my past? Is that why no one here in the West recognizes my status?
I sighed, rubbing my temple, and just then, El came downstairs with a pair of boxing gloves.
“Get up. It’s time to train.”
I let out a groan. Is she being serious right now? Can’t she see that I am currently, emotionally down and I need a moment?!
I’m sure you’re not deaf.” El added her tone, hard, as she reached the door and found me still sitting.
“I don’t want to train today. I mumbled and El frowned like she was confused.
“You don’t get to decide when you train, Ryn. I decide that, so for the last time, get up and let’s train.” She said, and then she left the house.
Knowing after this comes punishment, I threw a childish tantrum before reluctantly getting up and storming out of the house.
The morning was too beautiful for the

I felt.
Birds chirped somewhere high above, their songs which were light and carefree contrasted greatly with the storm brewing inside me. My boots crunched against the autumn leaves as I trudged through the woods, fists shoved deep in the pockets of my hoodie.
