”Did you learn this from your parents?”
Sharon nodded and said, ”Yes, s in the world rong because no one corrected the ideas as tiht be wrong and that if none of us stood out to fix them, ould repeat these mistakes and thus make the world worse and worse”
Wendy said slowly, ”But unfortunately nobody would be willing to stand out unless the bad things happened to himself Just like before, when the church persecuted the witches, et froed kids were really evil”
Sharon said, ”What they did is wrong They thought those mistakes would do no harm to themselves, so they could repeat them for their personal interests However, the mistakes will make the world worse, and then it'll become everyone's problem”
Surprised by Sharon, Wendy could not help but feel curious about her parents She pretended to ask casually about theot an unexpected answer ”They're not my real parents,” Sharon said
”They're not?”
As the girl began to talk about her parents, she started eating slower ”Well, le City and the order of the Southern Territory After that, hoars were everywhere and so were robbers My parents were ainst them, one day, they just didn't return ho that, all the townspeople left, too Nowadays, Mapleflower Town had already become a deserted domain”
”In other words, this tragedy was caused by the 'Royal Decree on the Selection of Crown Prince' ” Just as her father said, this absurd decree which seemed to be irrelevant to the people turned out to be a disaster for them”
Wendy gently touched Sharon's head to cos”
The little girl quickly stoppedher parents' death She dispelled her sadness and recovered, saying, ”That's alright They were already prepared to sacrifice themselves My father often said that since reatly in the end, we'd better pay the price to correct those mistakes in the first place, which was an honor actually”
Wendy was ,
”Honor Most patrol teaive a da personal benefits above those of the public When order and discipline stand in the way of personal interests, they won't hesitate to break them Given that, Sharon's real parents were really rare and respectable”
After a long silence, she said, ”Those people who came to see you”
Sharon licked her fingers and said, ”they're my father's friends He helped them before In the past two years, I've lived with him, uncle Cormac, and his wife They don't have any kid and treat hter”
Wendy fell silent, thinking,
”They did do their best to take care of Sharon That's quite a rare thing for an ordinary family”
After that, she did not say anything and just looked at Sharon eating her dinner
The little girl finished her last deep-fried pork cutlet and heaved a long sigh of relief, looking satisfied 'Thank you This is the best dinner I've ever had”
Now that Neverwinter was able to provide plenty of food for the people, no one in the city orried about being hungry any on tables of ordinary fareatly satisfied to simply have a piece of dried meat in their oathly paid people such as the alchemists and officials in City Hall could afford them
