Jacquelyn didn't turn back; she continued walking until she was outside the castle gates. She tried to bang the gate, but it was too heavy, so she slowly pushed it closed. Then, she continued her angry walk, making her way down the mountains. It was still morning, so the area was clear enough for her to see her path.
All Jacquelyn had in mind was revenge. She was going to show Kael, and not just show him, but make him chew on all his words. He had dared to look down on her and make her feel like she wasn't woman enough. Jacquelyn raised her dress slightly to avoid stepping on it. Her foot hit a small stone, almost twisting her ankle. She paused to regain her balance and then turned around, realizing how far she had gone. Even if she tried to trace her way back, it would be almost impossible.
