章 721: The night before the wedding.

Too many eyes were watching. Scarlet couldn't help feeling extremely exposed. There was no difference between the humans and the deities at this point. While the deities had received their fair share of entertainment from her life, the humans had not and it seemed they wanted it. 

While she could stand the interest of the deities because it was unavoidable, the humans were different, she could avoid them.

So, like a coward, she turned around and took off running, heading into the castle. She was wrong in thinking that she would avoid the gossip because Esong didn't pause his steps. He picked up speed and run after her rapidly, catching up to her in a few steps. 

And then, to the pleasure of all the gossip enthusiasts in the family, swept her off of her feet, carried her in his arms and raced into the castle.
