"Idiot. Dumb*ss. . ." Sakura muttered names like that under her breath. She was walking down the walkway while getting bad looks form the men of her village. In her village women should be obedient towards men. Sakura just divorced her husband, an a**hole.
"Us, women don't have any rights," she muttered walking into the forest.
~~~~~~~~~~Kotaro's PoV~~~~~~~~~
According to the map, there should be a village a few feet away.
There was a sound of rustling.
"Who's there?" I asked. A beautiful girl with blonde hair and chestnut eyes that you could get lost into so easily appeared.
~~~~~~~~~Sakura's PoV~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I came face to face with a man with snowy white hair and blood red eyes.
"W-who are you?" I managed out.
"I am a herbalist, one who collect herbs to make antidotes and such," he said.
"Oh. Do you have anywhere to stay?" I knew he was lying, but I wanted to figure out why. I had a special talent. I could detect if the person was lying or not ever since I was little. The reason how I knew my husband cheated on me.
"No. Do you know a good inn around here?"
"You can stay at my house. It's not an inn. . ."
"That is fine. Thank you for your kindness. I will take you up on your offer."
I took the herbalist to my house. This time, I got strangle looks from both men and women and I got to ask him his name. It was Kotaro. He wasn't lying that time.
The elder of the village came out of his hut noticing the silence.
"Sakura, who is this?"
"This is a herbalist. He needed a place to stay so I offered him my home since we have no inn."
"Very well, you need to redeem yourself anyway." I growled. I never liked the elder. He was just like the others. They say that the older you are, the wiser you are, but apparently, that is not the case.
~~~~~~Kotaro's PoV~~~~~~~~~~
Did she actually growled? What kind of girl growls? The girl whose name is Sakura led me to her house while I was still pondering over what the elder meant.
"Well, here you go," she said pointing to a room.
"Thank you, and um. . . about what the elder said . . ." I started.
"In this world, especially in this village, girls are lower than men, but I left my husband. That has looked down upon. They don't care if he cheated. Only me leaving him mattered." She looks like she was going to cry. When I opened my mouth, she left. I didn't like her like that. I didn't want to see her cry. It shouldn't be sad. It would look better if it was happy. Her ex-husband will die tonight. It was his fault.
