For those two days, they ate and slept in the car.
So, with that, they had also gotten familiar with each other.
As they chatted during their journey, Matthew had learned quite a lot about Tristan.
Her original name was Tristen. It was a name her mother gave her.
In a huge family which prioritized the males like the Cosbys, giving birth to a daughter was something they looked down upon.
Her mother was mad about it, so she gave her daughter this name. She wanted her daughter to surpass the other males in the family, so that the family would recognize that girls could be on par with boys as well.
However, Tristan's mother passed away at an early age. When Tristan was young, she witnessed her mother being insulted countless times simply because she gave birth to a daughter.
The women who bore sons would always mock her, saying that she had cut off the family line of the Cosbys.
Tristan had witnessed too many similar incidents, so she hated her own gender since young. She even wished that she could be a boy, so that her mother could be proud of her.
That was also the main reason for her weird personality. She was especially sensitive, so she would shroud herself in pride to prevent people from going anywhere near her.
Matthew never expected Tristan to have a childhood like this.
Before this, he simply thought that she was difficult to get along with.
Now that he understood her past, he began to sympathize with her.
As the daughter of the family head, she had to withstand pressure so great that it was unthinkable for a commoner!
On the way back, Matthew also received some information from Melvin.
This information had to do with Raven and Frey a.
Last time, Frey a let him off the hook, which greatly puzzled him.
With her kind of personality, she would not let someone off simply because the other person had been gracious to her before.
Based on her tendency to kill, as soon as she had the chance, she would definitely murder that person!
However, she actually let Matthew off this time. What exactly was going on?
So, when Matthew read the information that Melvin sent to him, he finally had a vague understanding of Freya's circumstances.
He spent 3 years walking half of
Cathay, causing his feet to blister terribly. In the end, he finally saved Zina from those human traffickers.
After that, 18-year-old Raven carried 10-year-old Zina on his back as he walked all the way back to Centourial.
Along the way, he learned many skills.
Once back in Centourial, he encountered the unrivaled swordsman Heath. Raven was greatly acknowledged, then he proceeded to soar through the ranks and became who he was today.
As for Zina, during the years she was kidnapped and sold, she had endured numerous suffering and injustice. That was what shaped her cruel personality.
During those years, she was mostly threatened by those human traffickers to go out and sell flowers to earn money.
When Matthew saw that, he finally understood why Freya would let him off.
She was not grateful to Matthew for letting her go. The real reason she compromised was because of the little girl who sold flowers behind them.
Or perhaps, she might have seen a shadow of her younger self in that little girl.
