While there was still a long way to go before they could reach the carriage, Theo wished the journey would end as soon as possible.
The more he told his mother about what had happened inside the Gate, the more her anger bubbled over. After he had finished telling her everything, his ears weren't given a moment of rest for hours.
It was the worst he had ever seen his mother lose control, but he couldn't blame her.
Her son had just told her he had put his life at risk just to manifest something he could have gained naturally in a few years anyway.
Soon enough, most of the blame shifted to the baron. And while the baroness tried her best not to speak anything against him, Theo could already tell the baron was in for a lot of berating once things finally settled.
They passed through five towns along the way, and the closer they got to the royal capital, the finer the roads became. Eventually, Theo noticed evenly spaced night lamps lining the streets every few meters.
