Adin received a report that the slums were quiet as usual, as well as the fact that not many people were moving about and that the soldiers had listened to the conversations of the people as well.

�There was not much, your highness.�

However, they did not realize that the people were simply quietly waiting for the day to pass.

�Did you close the window?�

�One moment!�

The child quickly reached toward the window at his mom�s question.

He could see the soldiers and knights patrolling outside.

�They are working hard even at night to protect us because of the war.�

The child recalled his mom� words and quietly observed the soldiers and knights outside.

�Cold air is coming in!�

�Ah, I�m on it!�

The child quickly closed the window after hearing his mom�s voice once more.

Screeeech.

The old window slowly closed.

It was late at night. The sun had long set and only the night sky was visible.

Clang.

The hand of the child who was trying to lock the window flinched.

�M, mom!�

The child called for his mom, but his voice could not be heard.

Beeeeeeeep- Beeeeeeeep-

A sharp noise cutting through the night was heard throughout the capital.

The mom held the shocked child in her arms as she finished locking the window.

Her pupils were shaking. JrNovels.com
