Vivian returned to the bed and continued feeding the unconscious teen bit by bit She only stopped after he had eaten half of the bowl of congee She hurriedly ate the rest and washed her hands and face with fresh water before snuggling into the stinking blanket As she buirl could not stand the pain and wept She then held onto her brother's ar ”If anyone co

”Knowing that big brother is unconscious, they're trying to sell me to Sofia so they can earn some money for thes than others of her age as she grew up in the sluest slave dealer in the sluirls and train thes,' then sell theirl who had just reached the age of eight stood no chance of surviving in the slums

Vivian's eyes showed a trace of resolution and deterto be sold, I will do so enuine priest, and perhaps they could finally wake you up, big brother”

She clearly knehat sort of life awaited her if she were to sell herself

Sofia would first raise her for several years before teaching her how to serve rew up to become a beauty, she would be sold to the nobles in the city If not, she would only end up in the dirty and poor brothels

But for her big brother, she illing to do anything He was her only living fa and killing could be heard

Vivian could not help but hide herself under the blankets, while the old dog near the door glared at it with a aze

Two of the slu over territory A lot of the slus had died since her brother was badly hurt by a powerful wizard All the original heads had died on the streets, and the rest of theuards never caotten corner of the city

They were not only fighting for territory, but also the kids in the sluht about; they all needed children so they could train thes for the faction This was also how Vivian's big brother became a thief in the first place

Vivian's memory of her parents was rather hazy

She only remembered that her mother once had a husband as a Godly thief Unfortunately, on one of his missions, he died at the hands of a wizard inside a wizard's tower That man was her brother's father; she had yet to be born at that time, so she only heard about it from her brother

From that day onward, wizards became the most feared entity in Vivian's immature and weak mind

After her husband died, Vivian'scare of the young Soran In order to survive, her mother even served as a 'waitress' in a tavern that provided 'additional services' Vivian understood; she knew a lot ht-year-old kids The broken family led such a life until they came across a nant once again

The adventurer did not marry her and only treated her as a mistress That was Vivian's father, a mysterious adventurer as said to have had a fearsoe reasons, he vanished all of a sudden and only left Heath, his pet dog, behind Hertwo men consecutively She suffered from panic disorder and depression before she finally passed away

At that ti brother elve

Two kids who had lost their parents had no choice but to roahts just for a tiny a and became a 'qualified' thief Only then did they finally settle down in the slu a shelter in the chaotic area

A h the streets

Vivian shuddered in fear and cuddled against her big brother Heath, as lying on the ground near the door, also stood up vigilantly and glared toward a distant alley

So natural; even the priests of the Dawnlight Shrine did not care about the people in the sluhborhood slammed their doors and s shut immediately Some even locked their doors with a simple yet sturdy bolt, and Vivian was one of thereat effort

According to the co in the slums for years, the situation would only becoht would only be on a larger scale and would sos

Fear

The scared young lady hugged the old dog tightly and brought it to the side of the bed

”Heath”

Glancing out in fright, Vivian could see the shadows of arht under the rain Blood splattered everywhere in the alley, only to be washed away by the rain as if nothing ever happened

She could smell the stench of blood even fro's head as she subconsciously shi+vered out of fear

”You will protect ht?”

”Woof!”

Heath barked all of a sudden

The little girl jumped back as she was startled, but she soon realised that Heath was barking at the youngbrother?!”

Surprised, Vivian saw that the once-unconscious teen had opened his eyes, and his lips were twitching

Vivian could no longer hold in the pressure and fear she had accuirl threw herself into the ar drops of crystal-clear tears rolling down her childish cheeks
