...
On the mountain, the Clan Leader found Daya, while down in An Clan Village, after returning home, Daya's Father cornered Daya's Mother, who was trying to sneak away.
Without any warning, he slapped her hard across the face.
"Ah!"
Daya's Mother screamed out in pain.
It took her a long moment to react, covering her face with one hand, she turned dazedly to stare at Daya's Father, who was fuming with anger.
"Child's father, have you lost your mind? Why are you hitting me?"
She had already been scolded last night, so why was she being hit as soon as he walked in today?
Did marrying into their family mean she was there to be hit? It hadn't always been like this, it was just the past couple of days that this cowardly man started hitting her.
"What gives you the right to hit me? What did I do to provoke you?" she demanded angrily.
