Count once again arranged the trip for Duke to another orphanage . Peter was confused whether there also he would be rejected . Though , this whole mission is ongoing in secret , but he is afraid of some nobles pulling strings behind the scene . He decided to put all his disturbing thoughts aside .
It was almost noon , when he reached the orphanage . The horse's trotting stopped and carriage came to halt .
" Your Grace , we reached the orphanage " , said the knight commander of Arlo curtly .
Peter nodded and stepped down of the carriage . The orphanage was poorly maintained , nearly made Peter believe that nobody lives here .
'Is this the orphanage , you are talking about ? , Peter asked questioningly .
" Yes , your Grace " , replied one of the knight , bowing to Peter , who stepped down from the horse .
Peter could see his knight commander , talking to manager , who is a lady in her thirties .The manger was dressed pretty good as per condition of orphanage . He looked more around himself . There was no security and iron gates were also demolished heavily , even the wild animals could come and go easily , feeling most at home . Peter smiled , by seeing such a distressing situation .
" Your Grace , may you want to look around the orphanage " , said the knight commander , while bowing courteously . Peter started walking toward the orphanage , walking on the damp soil , filled with weeds .
