"Is the place safe?" asks the little child while both of us are climbing the stairs to the next street.
"Yes. It is very safe." I responded to this little poor kid question. "In fact, there are so many kids like you there, that you might going to become best friends with them, or brothers."
"Do you have a brother, mister?" he asked this kid.
"No. I was like you one day. Alone. Without a parent which he could take care of me, or a brother to protect me from these dangers. I was alone, but that was until I discover the Orphanage, who helped me grew up into a good squire."
"Square? What it is a squire?"
"A future knight."
"Are you a squire?"
"Yes. I am still a first year, but I am a good one." I say to the kid who smiled at me.
"D-Do you think I could become one squire, one day?"
"If you train every day and discover your power, you could become a strong squire."
"Like what you did earlier with that stick to those bullies?"
"That was magic, little kid." I responded to this kid. "Not everyone could do magic, nor control it. I can barely do some spells, due to some training and knowledge i learned from novels I read at that Orphanage. But most kids, are training on their physically form by using a stick at first, and when they became eligible and strong enough, they can maneuver a big sword."
"I see. You can use swords?"
"No. But I work for a knight who can use a big sword and cut the enemies in half without a sweat."
"Wow... And that knight it is good or bad?" he asked me after we took a corner and head straight to the Orphanage where he will leave in peace until a parent will adopt him.
"It is good. He work for the kingdom and she helps people. Killing people, it is considered bad, if those people did a grave mistake like ruining someone life or destroying this kingdom."
"Like those nobles?"
"They do not deserve death. Jail is their only punishment."
And after I said this sentence, we both stopped talking because we have already arrived in front of the Orphanage. I and with the kid are going to the main door of this building while a few kids saw me and follow me to see what is going on. I said "Hello!" to them, and they replied by the same gesture. They asked me what I am doing here, and who is the new guy. I told them this kid it is going to live here, and a few of those kids were actually happy to see a new face since the number of kids at this Orphanage have started to go down, since a few people decided to adopt children. And This includes Henry and Olive... I wonder how are those friends doing right now.
I knocked on the ain door, and a woman dressed in nun clothes opened the door. She saw me, smiled, greeted me, then I greeted her back. She saw the kid who is hiding at my back, and she asked me.
"Is this kid yours?"
"What?" I replied. "It is not my kid. I did not make him."
And at this, every kid who was surrounding us started laughing, the nun laughed, and even the kid did a small giggle. Then, I laughed a bit and told the nun about this kid situation, which she told both of us to enter the building and head to nuns desk rooms. The kid was walking at my back because he is shy and this is understanding, a lot of kids came here being shy, but a few of them left with memories and crying.
***
A few minutes later, I waved goodbye to those kids, and the kid who was brought there by me, Apparently, the kid name it is Lucian Bon Gruga, which made the nuns surprised since this kid belonged to a noble family from Buzau. Lucian told to those nuns, after he built up some courage, that he came here, in the capital, with her family for a vacation. And he also told to those nuns, with tears on his blue eyes, that his whole family got murdered by an assassin which wore a mask. And this remark, made me feel quite shocking and scared because the only assassins who wear masks are either the ones of the guild I am secretly working on, or an assassin who brought a mask, just to assassinate the poor kid family. But, he didn't mention an animal mask, so this made me feel a slight better and relieved.
Anyway, back to my mission. I leave this area, and runs straight to the place where Misu's Tavern, it is located. It is not far from the Orphanage, just a few buildings on the damaged street. While I run to that area, I did encounter a lot of people on my way, but I successfully dodged them, but I also injured a few of them by my rush. One woman, who was carrying a basket with onions, fallen on her butt because of me, who slightly pushed her. I apologized while I was running, but I did not stop to help her, which is really a bad thing to do and not a chivalry thing. But that was the thing Ron told me, so who knows how much right he was when he said that thing.
It took me almost an entire clock, but I made it. I arrived in front of Misu's Tavern. But instead of looking at that Tavern, I looked at the next building, which is now a shoes repair building. Back then, this was only a big building where people lived there. Looks like someone has decided to buy this building, evacuate his neighbors and decided to create a business there (probably).
I took out my wand, aimed it at my legs and says the spell "Flying". A blue ray hit my left leg, and then I aimed another "Flying" spell to my right one. Then, I was able to fly for a moment to the building rooftop, but when I landed there, the spell drained his effect. This spell is good, but it requires a lot of mana and training. I arrived to the rooftop, and in front of my eyes I saw it, the broken piece of that blade, which looked like a piece of junk or a tree bark.
The blade didn't look weird, it was just a normal sword piece, but when I got closely there, adn looked at that piece, I noticed a drawing there. It is a green line with red circles, and it also has a small demon face on the left side. I do not know what kind of blade does that man has, but I do hope it is not a bad one like the one I read one time in a novel. A boy discovered a cursed sword and use it to create chaos all around his kingdom, in order to become the king.
The blade, it is not that hard when I lifted it. In fact, it was lightly. I put it on my backpack, and left this rooftop by using the same flying spell to land on the ground. And after I landed, I am walking fast to the secret guild, to deliver this sword piece to Ulfred. And I do hope he will be happy when he will see me, and not be mad since I was late with the blade. After all, I had to help that little kid.
