บท 364: Punching Through The City Gates

-----

"Where are we going?" Celica wondered.

We were as of now walking right into the city's gates. Celica was being carried by my father's arms, wondering where we were going.

"Well, didn't you wanted to come with us to the orphanage, little Celica?" Wondered my mother.

Celica nodded shyly.

"B-But it is inside the city? Bad people is there…" She sighed.

"Well, she got kidnaped alongside her mother in the city, it is understandable." My father said. "But the orphanage is there, we'll have to get through the gates. Don't worry."

"Uhhh…" Celica hugged her teddy plushie while feeling slightly afraid. My father smiled gently and caressed her hair, calming her down.

"It's fine if you don't want to go, dear. We can go back." My mother said.

"I… No, it is fine…" Sighed Celica. She seemed to not want to go back, despite her fears. She was a strong girl.

"She's surely strong." Said Aquarina.
