Just a Cannon Fodder

Chapter 16

"Are you alright?" A little girl said.

The girl was cute. She looked like she was consoling the child in front of her.

"Go away! You are just like those nobles!" The boy retorted.

"It's alright, I'm not going to hurt you." She hugged and soothed the child.

The boy accepted the girl's embrace and was comforted.

"By the way, what's your name?" The boy asked.

"Oh, I'm Moriana." The girl smiled.

"My name is-"

***

"!!!!"

"Young miss? Are you alright?" Kelly asked.

I woke up and was sweating a lot.

"I'm fine Kelly. It's just that it was so hot that it woke me up." I replied.

"I'll get you some cold beverage then." She said and went out.

'What was that? Was it a memory or a dream?'

The boy in my dream looked so vague that I couldn't remember his face.

"Here you go young miss." Kelly handed me a milkshake.

"Oh? This is my first time seeing a milkshake."

"Yes. The servants prepared it just for you young miss."

"I see. Please thank them for me."

Kelly nodded.

'Hahh... the milkshake plucked the heat out of me.'

I got up and looked at the window. The people outside and in the town looked so busy that it made me wonder what kind of event is held.

"What's going on Kelly? The people looks busy outside. Is there an event?"

"There will be a festival held for the next three days. It is for celebrating the birth of our empire, Nirvana."

"Ahh, I see."

Right, there was this chapter in the novel where a festival was held.

The male lead and heroine will go on a date and the heroine will be kidnapped.

'I was thinking, what if I was the one who's going to get kidnapped?'

I suddenly had goosebumps.

I don't think chapters like that won't happen anymore since the story is falling apart.

"When will it start?"

"It starts at 5pm. There will be many stalls selling their products, theater shows, auctions, entertainments. And the final event is watching the fireworks."

"The fireworks shows up at mostly 8 or 9pm." She added.

"Hm. Must be fun." I mumbled.

"Young miss, I'm definitely going to the festival even though you won't attend. And if you do attend, please go with Sir Justin." She pleaded.

".... Fine. You go on and take a day off."

"Yay!! Thank you young miss! I'll get going now! Bye!" She ran off.

"....."

She really left me. Hahaha I can't believe her.

At lunch, I ate with my parents together.
