Volume 3.77 Circumstances At Once (3)

City of Revlon

West Border of the Empire of Raven

***

It was already a few minutes away before midnight. There were no people in the streets anymore other than some drunkards who passed out in the alley and some knights patrolling the area for the night shift. Amidst, the still and chilly night, a certain old man in thick ragged clothes was walking toward the center of the street.

Old man Rudy walked in haste, while he carried the five pouches that contained gold coins. He was alone. Despite the red-cloaked man telling him to bring his estranged granddaughter, he would not heed his words.

Rather, he would choose any punishment be it his life, for disobeying them. However, there was still one thing that bothered him, how in the world he and his granddaughter got inflicted by such people.
