Chapter 270: Catatoskr (7) : The Heist (1/2)
A/n: Big thanks to A, will publish an extra in his naarde!
In our roo I was sitting with Nefertiti on rew as large as a dog lately and Alina was checking the sealed egg
”So, why did I have to go through that act?”
Alina was against using her powers to fool people like we did for a good reason but she did it anyhen I asked her
”There is a good reason” I replied
”Which is?”
”Sigh! Think of it… an old lady h to be called 'Grelod the Kind' then turned out to be a witch, what do you think the ignorant people will think of the orphans?”
” Surely you are not saying…”
”No, I a People are stupid, Alina They will think of Constance and the orphans as Grelod's lackeys and will abuse the the kids in public before so whatever the orphans say afteron't be believable Also, the pig-headed people won't take words from a child no matter what” I said
”So we had to show the public how horrifying that woht as children with good hearts and the people will love them and take care of the evil with your holy ic and how it can be a bane to the evilwill at least have an idea that good ic exists” I added
”And we spread the faith of the Holy Cat” Jull added
”Of course, that's above all else” I agreed
Alina heard the reasoning of our actions and started thinking, she was a bit shocked at first but her lips curved up in a s which is actually heroic just like you do?”
”Yeah, basically”
”Wow!”
Alina turned all s a naughty hero
Good grief! So and I ae over 40 years by now
”Still, you could think of all that before you take action I a a town like Winterhold requires that much at the very least You also have to be several steps ahead of anyone and plan for all sorts of situations You will lead the town in h decisions” I told her so that was in my mind for some time
Alina turned silent for a second and I could see that her expressions are beco serious
”Why? Do you want to leave o soht on thefate the future holds for o on an adventure or a business trip…the town for Dragon attacks for Kyne's sake, what else are you not planning for?”
” Who knows!” I just said and went up walking away
My s I have no control over When the Priestess of Azura caave me a headache till this day
How do I plan to counter a God that is pissed off at me?
I just walked the stairs down in the Bee and Barb inn and found myself an empty table in the corner Nefertiti came out of the shadow once she felt that my mood is heavy and took a nap on the table
As I was sitting alone in the corner, two large hooded figures came to the inn No one looked at the people anyway Still, fronized their identities
I picked a pebble froround and threw it at them, one of them noticed and blocked it with his hand, they then walked towards uys?”
These were Wulf and Jorna
”The town is the same as we left it” Wulf said as he joinedRiften”
”Did you hear about what happened last night? They say Grelod was doing some sorcery and she tried to invade the town then a Holy Lady appeared and burned her on the stake” Wulfur said
”Oh yes, it was a grand sight”
” Oblivion, Jon” Wulfur snapped out of the blue
”What's wrong, man?”
”I know you are behind that! Why didn't you wait fortoday? Do you want me to wait for you while poor innocent children suffer?”
””
”Also, if you ith us, you may have finished Grelod too quickly with your ha… But at least you should have let ht the Fork of Horripilation withher before me, you murderous bitch”
