Chapter 5
Aug 04, 2025
[Mr. Whitecore: Sunha, are you avoiding me?] Was I avoiding him? Maybe... Well actually yeah totally trying to get my head right after all... Things back home started going off the rails, my mental health started to slip again... Did I have to avoid him? No, not really... Then why? I had to dig deeper, I have to. Something isn't right in my head...
Taking a deep breath, trying to muster up the remnant of calmness I finally sent a message after spending an hour crafting a response. [Me: Are you mad at me still? I am not trying to avoid you. Although can I take some weeks off work? I am not well, and no I don't want to be questioned about it.]
Three dots appeared and I knew he was typing a response. I turned my phone off, went for a shower and curled up in bed. The uneasiness was unbearable. In my mind there were three routes to go down: 1. call Callum , 2. call Mr Whitecore, 3. do nothing. I felt lost. Something in me was telling me that something is not right. Compelled? Colition? Maybe this year was the year new things I have to discover myself will finally be revealed.
I called Mr Whitecore and explained that I have been having a mental and emotional hard time. No I wasn't overworking, it was all just automated.
"AUTOMATED? HOW IS IT STILL PRODUCING BEST QUALITY OF WORK I HAVE EVER SEEN?" yells Mr Whitecore seemingly excitedly.
"It's my specialty? Anyways I am allowed to go on a break for a while right?" I reply.
"Well if this automation keeps going, sure. But seriously Sunha please take care of yourself," says Mr Whitecore.
"I will, don't worry," I reply and then I hang up. Honestly, would it get better or worse? Were there new ones in my head? Did I discover another bit of myself? What is wrong with me? I arrange a meeting with Callum. An emergency one. This feeling was not helpful in me not being so stressed. To think that I had enough with being hunted, with death threats sent to my door, with all the sacrifices I made for my people that I could just relax and not stress so much. But of course that isn't meant to be, is it?
Join Sunha the protagonist on her journey as the King of the Valley of Buttercups despite all the struggles and her despising the fact the crown lands in her hands.
