8 Aredric (2/2)
”Why are you just silent? You're not afraid of me?”
Aredric was surprised. For God's sake, he heard a slightly hoarse female voice greeting his hearing. Is he hallucinating?
”O-of course I'm afraid. You suddenly come without knocking first and then ask me strange questions. Maybe you want to steal ...” Aredric still didn't turn his head even though it was clear the person was beside him.
”... Are you blind?” Aredric opened his eyelids.
”... As you can see,” A rather loud squeak came again. This time a chair that was dragged closer approached him.
”What do you see now?” Aredric furrowed his brows. Stupid questions asked by blind people.
”... There is no,”
Suddenly Aredric heard someone shouting in front of his house. Strong enough to be heard by him because the back of his house is a wilderness.
”Tifa! Let's go!” It was truly Aredric like he was dreaming now. There are two people who come to visit his house.
”I will come again tomorrow, at the same time,”
Aredric had not opened his mouth before, he immediately felt a breeze blow toward his face. Window. The woman entered her room through the window? Aredric is getting confused. Thief? Real thief?
But what did he steal? Does his father have something of value there? He began to feel panicked. He will ask his father when he gets home later.
In accordance with his predictions, his father returned and immediately fed his domestic chickens. With his father's wheelchair, he carried his body to the door of his room with the help of a small wooden stick to show him where he was going.
”Dad?”
”Aredric. Looks like tomorrow and so on, it will be difficult for us to get meat and rice to eat in the city,” Aredric felt his father push his wheelchair and then take him out of the house to sunbathe.
”Last night, I saw the most horrific event that I have ever seen,” Hearing his father who hung his words made him struck by great curiosity.
”What's wrong? Did something happen there?” His father sighed heavily.
”When father was getting ready to go home, a woman came and gave me twenty bags of gold coins. She ordered to leave this house immediately and told me to take you along,” Aredric had a very sad face.
”Does he want to buy our house?”
”Sigh ... I don't know. But if he even buys ... The amount of this coin is ten times the price of our house,” Aredric paused.
He could not hide his unwilling face when he learned that their house had been bought by someone else. Although it is unclear, why do women want to buy their homes outside this kingdom? Aredric sighed.
”When I was at the main gate to go home, I saw so many red-robed people entering the kingdom. It was still very late if there were other residents who wanted to spend the night in the kingdom,” Aredric began to think with little knowledge.
”Then? The terrible thing?” His father seemed reluctant to tell him.
”Daddy saw ... they seemed to want to attack him from a distance, but when they approached, they all suddenly retreated slowly. And when I had passed their pack, I heard a terrible scream from outside the gate,”
