Chapter 5 - An Unexpected Acquaintance

(this is it my Freedom and revenge)

While running I can see some carriages and wage and some people are entering and leaving the town. after some time of running, I got close to the town gate and saw a sign board beside the road which is pointing to the town with "Dolha" engraved on it.

["Hey who are you? what are you doing here? state your business"]

Suddenly a man spoke to me, I looked at the man and saw a man with a white shirt and brown pants and a quite build body and can scars can be seen in the neck area is standing. that guy is likely in his late 30s and has black hair and an average face that is quite handsome he has a sword in his hip that is tied with a belt.

["Hmm. You.. can see"]

It's too sudden and his big body made me fearful I said with mixed emotions in my mind. That guy with a sword saw Arce like that he can assume Arce is no more than a 12-year-old kid who got lost, He calmed his mind.

["You don't have to be alarmed I am not gonna eat you"]

Saying that he gave a big smile to Arce.

["Hey kid where are you from? are you from this town? who are your parents?"]

Arce could see a smile on that man's face but he looked at the man with mixed emotions. He has gone through too much in his childhood, he doesn't want to believe in anyone. he has a feeling that they are going to send him to the camp again.

["Don't worry kid, you can trust me. we will find your parent's soon"]

after hearing this my mind is calm now and I let out a sigh

-SIGH

["Don't bother I don't have any family to return they all died"]

when that man with spear heat looked at Arce with a pitiful looked

["Ok then come with me, I will escort you inside the town"]

saying he bring me inside the town, I was walking with that man in front of me. I can see a road leading into the town square, when we reached the town square I saw some of the people either staring at us or waving their hands with a smile on their face.

["So Mr. Gilbert you are back"]

Suddenly a voice came from in front, I was looking here and there and after hearing that voice I looked in front a sow an old lady who is probably in her early 50s is standing there with a smile on her face.

["you are gone for quite some time now did the mission go well?"]

Apparent that the man is called Gilbert and he holds quite some respect in this village. Arce is thinking about what those 2 are talking about but at that time that old lady sows Arce and gave a curious look.

["Mr. Gilbert Who might this be?"]

["He is a kid that I found in front of the gate, he has nowhere to go and he is an orphan so I take him inside or he might get into trouble if the guards saw him strolling in front of the gate"]

["Oh poor thing, is he be Ok, where is he gonna stay?"]

After hearing Gilbert that lady gave a pitiful and sad look. its looks like she is worried about Arce.

["Hmm that's a problem, Hey kid where is your hometown?"]

["It's a small village name Orial"]

I said with an uneasy voice and thought is it OK or not to tell them about this, either way, is OK my family and my town is destroyed long ago.

["Oh I had a friend there and his name was Karl Lour"]

Arce is shocked after hearing the name Karl Lour, Arce doesn't expect Gilbert to say that name

["Dad!?"]

Arce is Quite surprised and happy at the same time.

(Is this fate?)

Hearing Arce call dad Gilbert is surprised himself he doesn't expect this kid to be his friend's son

["What.. is your name?"]

Gilbert said with a shaky voice. he can't believe what he just hear.

["Arce Lour"]

Gilbert burst into tears and hug Arce

["Do you know how much I have searched for you and your family?"]

after a long hug, Gilbert calm down and said

["Arce Where have you been all this time?"]

from what happened just now Arce feels lightheaded and tried to believe Gilbert and tells him everything about how his Aunt sold him to that camp and up until now what happened and how he encountered that mana wolf and his poor friend Park died by an Anoda Snake.

hearing this Gilbert's face turned black I can see he is furious and sad at the same time. And again come's a big hug

["You did great"]

Hearing those words Arce who was controlling and suppressing his emotions fell into Gilbert's solder and burst into tears and started crying. after a long crying both of them let go of each other and Gilbert said while garbing Arce's solder and said that lady who is standing there watching them with a smile and tears on her face.

["Ms, Take care of Arce until I came back"]

["OK, sir"]

That woman said with a big smile while rubbing her eyes

["Arce u stay here I will be back in no time treat me as a family, Your father and I was more like a brother so you can rely on me until we get back"]

Gilbert said with a smile

["OK then kid come with me to the inn"]

said that old lady grabbed my hand and we bowed our farewell to Gilbert and headed to the inn. I can see Gilbert turn around and start walking with a dark face.

We are standing in front of the inn so when I got inside with that lady I see some tables and chairs placed on the floor, a beer counter with a door to the back, and stairs leading to the 1'st floor. That old lady turned to me and said

["What do you wanna eat?"]
