Not far off, Kreiss was secretly watching them by the window and saw everything that happened. He smiled bitterly and was about to walk away when he stumbled upon Shannara, looking at him with a teasing smile.
"Giving up," she said teasingly, making Kreiss know that she, too, may have been watching secretly, given that the window was big enough for two people to see what's inside.
Luckily, it was only them who saw what happened between Veon and Sheloah.
Kreiss did not answer her and he just walked away. Shannara looked at his back as she shook her head. She followed him quietly until Kreiss stopped in front of a tree, a little far from the house.
Kreiss punched the tree in front of him and his knuckles started bleeding. This made Shannara sigh.
"It hurts, doesn't it? Glad I prepared myself for this and had given up early," she said and this made Kreiss look at her with annoyance.
"Buzz off! I did not tell you to follow me!"
