Volume 3, Chapter 52: The Last of Tetomburgh③

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

A few weeks had elapsed since the incident in a small town called Tetomburgh in Viscount Le Gael’s territory.

Alante led the young children and escaped from the Le Gael territory to a remote orphanage.

「Alois-san, can you go to the nearby village to buy something?」

「Yeah… Well, I’ll leave for a while.」

Alante, who was called by Director Heidi, waved his hand toward the children playing in the garden as he went to meet her.

「…Is something the matter, Heidi-san? That look on your face is…」

「It’s nothing… You must’ve been a handsome man before, right? Poor thing…」

Heidi shook her head while heaving a sigh.

「Oops… My apologies, I overstepped my boundaries.」

Heidi closed her lips as she expressed her apology.

Alante traced the bandages on his face with his finger, smiling wryly.

Alante, who was older than the other children, disfigured his own face and changed his name.

As a result, his face was bandaged, and he called himself Alois instead of Alante.

He was greatly appreciated since he had basic medical knowledge and had learned sorcery on top of that. Thus, he only had to work part-time at the orphanage.

At first, the children at the orphanage were scared of him due to the burn scars on his face, but that tendency was lost with time.

The oldest of the children who escaped from Tetomburgh was 14 years old. Many of them were too mature for their age, especially those who used to serve Tony Lair.

With the cooperation from Kreuz, they separated the children into several groups, chose the oldest one as a leader, and scattered them across the kingdom.

Although Alante wanted to return the children in his group to their families, since some of the children were sold by their own parents to the territory lord due to the burdens of life, many were traumatized.

In addition, seeing that the 『Inquisition Squad』 was aiming for Elise, they decided to leave Viscount Le Gael’s territory, which became far too dangerous for them.

Although Alante and the others managed to escape from Tetomburgh, they had to consider the possibility of the church hunting them down again.

On the contrary, if they left the Le Gael territory, the church wouldn’t go after them no matter how desperate they were.

This was also a countermeasure against 『Devil’s Piper』.

It was a kind of gamble on Alante’s part, as he hoped that the horrible organization wouldn’t go after them.

Nevertheless, this was all he could do right now.

Alante pondered while making the preparations to go to the village.

That armoured person, did he… manage to escape from the inquisitors?

Alante knew this from rumours, but after the 『Inquisition Squad』 burned Tetomburgh to the ground, they destroyed part of the mansion in a major city outside of Viscount Le Gael’s territory.

Upon hearing that a giant cross was found in the place that was burned to the ground, Alante recalled the last spectacle he saw before leaving Tetomburgh.

He assumed that those masked inquisitors had survived the fight against the armoured swordsman.

Although there was criticism toward the inquisitors, their supporter Cardinal Vanaz didn’t seem to care.

In short, he didn’t see the criticism as a big deal.

Well, that’s all I guess…

Alante collected the luggage in his private room and put on his coat.

Just when he stepped out of his room, someone approached him from the side.

「Are you going out now, Big Brother? Be careful.」

She was one of the children who came with Alante to this orphanage. It was Elise.

She stopped her wheelchair as she sent him off with a smile.

「Yeah, I’m off.」

Alante also smiled back from behind the bandages on his face.
