Bab 50: The rebels

"S-Sister Ann, t-the rebels!"

"R-Rebels?"

"Yes, and they are blocking our way!"

"What!?"

There was a hint of panic when the coachman and Sister Ann mentioned it out loud.

Even Jem, who knew so little about the world, knew what that word signifies. The rebels. They were bad news. They were an anti-government group that refused to follow the existing authority.

But why would the rebels be targeting them? Even Jem could not help but ask the question to himself.

"R-rebels…?"

While massaging her swollen face, Hope, who was awoken untimely, muttered in disbelief.

Then, "Eh? L-Luc?" Meir, who also had just opened her eyes, mumbled with a hint of nostalgia.

The face of a familiar person greeted him. It was Luc, their supposed childhood friend in the orphanage when they were young. But weirdly though, why was he here? He left the orphanage when they were young when someone adopted him.
