Kyrie arrived at a small shack in the corner of the city.
"Please wait a moment. The wanted carriage will be here soon."
Said the masked man who brought Kyrie. Kyrie, who was looking around with anxious eyes holding her shawl tightly, opened her mouth.
"Will there be time to see Maria?"
"It's hard. It's just a matter of time."
The men left the room with only one left. Somewhere outside, the noise continued and vibrated. There were also footsteps of armed soldiers moving in groups.
"Find her!"
"She couldn't have gone far!"
"Light purple hair and purple eyes! Don't leave a scar!"
Kyrie held her breath and closed the briefly opened wooden window. Her heart beat violently. It was when she turned with her hands on her chest.
"Mom......."
"Don't come out!"
The inside door, which she thought no one was there, opened, and a little girl walked out rubbing her eyes. The man was very embarrassed and at a loss. The same was true of Kyrie.
"What about that kid?"
"The daughter of the landlord."
The masked man replied embarrassingly.
"I'm an assistant to OldCiudad. I thought it'd be better to blend in with civilians, so I let it go......."
"Huh?"
"......."
Kyrie looked at the little kid with her head tilted continuously.
"Federica, come on in!"
Behind the open door, a person who appeared to be the girl's mother cringed and noticed. She held the child by the shoulder in a cold sweat and tried to let her in, but he held the doorknob and wouldn't let go.
"Who are you, Unnie?" (PR note: Unnie is a way for girls to call an older sister)
"Me?"
"Yes, pretty Unnie, who are you?"
She was speechless.
Wouldn't it be troublesome to say my real name?
"I'm, I'm......."
"Miss Josephina. Take the child."
"I'm sorry, Federica! Come on! I told you to listen!"
"Mom, why did you let an unknown Unnie in our home?"
"Federica!"
As the mother's voice rose, tears welled up in the child's eyes.
"Mom, why, get angry......!"
When the child was about to cry, Kyrie stopped the woman.
"It's all right, she's surprised."
Kyrie bowed down to the child.
"Did you say you're Federica?"
"Ung. I'm Federica. Federica Moretti!"
The child smiled broadly as if she had never cried like a child.
"You're not from here."
"Federica, you live here?"
"It's a family that ran away from Saint De Nisse. They helped them settle in OldCiudad."
