Chapter 132 - Orphanage under attack part 3

[Rean point of view]

I have failed...

"It's hurt..." [Rafiah]

"Zerolith! Zerolith! Hang in there!" [Mara]

"..." [Zerolith]

"You two, quick, get some clothes. We will stop their bleeding" [Mr Bond]

""Right!!"" [Elise, Kara]

"Savel... Charlotte... Cupid... They're gone" [Singa]

"Meow..." [Behe]

"Your wing are burned, are you alright Behe?" [Farhah]

"Meow!" [Behe]

"That's good" [Karon]

I have failed, to protect our home

I have failed, to protect my little siblings

I have failed, to protect my promise to Brother Ash

I have failed

"Rean, are you alright?" [Elise]

"..." [Rean]

Please, leave me alone for a bit...

I don't know what kind of face am I making right now, maybe a sad face, or maybe a face of a disappointed people. Whatever it is, I'm sure I don't want to see myself in such a horrible state. I don't want to see, the face of someone that failed to protect his own home, face of someone that failed to protect his own siblings, face of someone, that failed to uphold his promise

"Rean..." [Elise]

"..." [Rean]

Elise, she looks sad, of course she would. Who wouldn't in this case

I'm sorry

~Slap~

"!" [Rean]

"Now, is not the time to indulge yourself with your own sadness!" [Elise]

"!" [Other]

"If Brother Ash is here... He would immediately go and find them!" [Elise]

If Brother Ash is here, this wouldn't happen. In fact, he would've perfectly capable of stopping each and everyone of them all by himself, while smiling, telling us everything will be fine.

But now, just look at this... Our home is a mess. The floor is still wet, there are multiple crack in the floor. The flower vase are broken, the album hang in the wall utterly demolished. Everything is in a state of mess

"Get up!" [Elise]

"I'm not as strong, as he is..." [Rean]

"Of course! We aren't strong, and all of us are awfully clear about that!" [Elise]

"..." [Rean]

"..." [Kara]

"..." [Mara]

"..." [Karon]

"..." [Farhah]

"..." [Singa]

"Brother Ash himself said that he will teach all of us, he will train all of us, until we are all capable enough to make some meaningful changes to this world!" [Elise]

Brother Ash will always say that, as a motivation to us all. Truthfully, can I even become half as strong as he is? He had told me multiple times that he will train me so much so that I will eventually surpass him, but now...

"Plus, Charlotte, Savel and Cupid, aren't you the least worried about them! You do realise what will happen if we waddles some more!" [Elise]

"!" [Other]

That's right...

How could I, be so stupid!

"That's why, If Brother Ash is here, first thing after he cures us all will be dashing out, immediately searching for them! We might be slower and weaker, but we will definitely do that! We are gonna save the three cute little siblings of us!" [Elise]

"Haha..." [Rean]

"Wh.. what?!" [Elise]

"That's exactly what Brother Ash will say" [Rean]

First thing first, to heal the now unconscious Sis Rafiah and Zerolith. They're in a dire state. Not to mention, even Kronbir is injured, but thank goodness that he isn't that severely injured. Other sustains some minor injuries. All of us can use healing magic to some extent, but the best will be asking for a professional help. Sis Yefefiah will gladly help us and for that, I should go to the castle myself, but...

(We don't know when they will strike once more...) [Rean]

"Are you guys alright?" [Lily's mother]

""Rean! You guys!!"" [Kadeus, Lily]

"We come as soon as we heard something going on, not to mention, just what in the hell happened here!?" [Kadeus's father]

"You guys!" [Rean]

Nice timing

"Kadeus, Lily, can you guys go to the adventure guild and ask for help! Any help will be appreciated especially that of a healer!" [Rean]

""Understood!!"" [Kadeus, Lily]

"Mr and Mrs, can I ask you to please take care of them while I am out!" [Rean]

"I will but..." [Lily's mother]

"Where are you going?" [Kadeus's father]

"To the castle! I'll ask Princess Diana herself for help!" [Rean]

"!" [Other]

"I'll come along" [Bond]

"No. I will go alone. Ohh, Kadeus and Lily, tell guild master Ram that I'll go to the castle" [Rean]

The guard at the gate might not give me the opportunity to enter the castle. Brother Ash is a whole different story, but it's not everyday occurrence that someone can enter the castle. Even Guild Master Ram and Gizzere can enter should they have some business with the Princess

.

.

.

Taking the bus golem (Which thankfully is still intact), I quickly drive there myself, and park the bus golem quite a distance away from the castle gate. Well, I just hope I won't resort to use that reckless plan of mine

(I'm sure this is what happen when you're with Brother Ash after a long time) [Rean]

"Halt!" [Guard A]

"You aren't allowed to enter without any business!" [Guard B]

"Please! I need to see Princess Diana!" [Rean]

"And what business do you have with her?" [Guard B]

"The orphanage is under attack and I need to talk to her about it!" [Rean]

"So, you're one of the orphan..." [Guard A]

He looks at me in disgust. I don't even need to ask why as I'm sure he is one of the avid follower of old teaching. Another guard however, seems nice and also shock to hear about it

"Huh? Rean? What're you doing here? Wait..." [Liyana]

"Li.. Liyana!" [Rean]

Now that I think of it, nobles received their formal education inside the castle. What a good timing

"Liyana, please, ask Princess Diana to come to the orphanage now!" [Rean]

"Rean... What happen! You are injured! Not to mention, you act strange!" [Liyana]

"The church, and the duke personal guard, they attack the orphanage, and kidnapped Savel, Charlotte and Cupid! Plus, Sis Rafiah and Zerolith, they're dying!" [Rean]

"Say what!" [Liyana]

"Kidnapping!?" [Guard B]

"Yeah right" [Guard A]

"I'll tell Princess Diana straight away" [Liyana]

Thank goodness I don't have to resort to some violence to enter the castle or else I can say goodbye to my head, with guillotine as the method

After a while

"Rean! Is that true!?" [Diana]

"Quick! We shall rush there right now itself!" [Qis]

"Agree!" [Young healer team]

"To think such horrible fate happen" [Young knight A]

"Tchh... this is why I can't stand them" [Young knight B]

"Come! Let us go!" [Young captain]

"Yes!" [Young knight squad]

Huh, there's some new faces that I never see before.

"Rean, how do you come here?" [Diana]

"Bus golem, I parked it over there" [Rean]

"That far!" [Diana]

"Why is that?" [Yefefiah]

"Don't tell me!" [Young Captain]

"Rean, you can't think of..." [Qis]

"Hahaha..." [Rean]

"Sigh... Ash really is a bad influence" [Qis]

"Why?" [Liyana]

"Nothing..." [Rean]

I can't tell the Princess, the reason I came here alone, is that by chance I can't get an audience with her, I'll just ram the castle gate using the bus golem and then search for her during the commotion.
