บท 603: The Explosion

Yarin's POV:

In my sleep, a loud bang suddenly woke me up.

I sat up abruptly and looked out of the window in panic. Heller opened his eyes in a daze and asked, "What happened? Are there firecrackers?"

I ran to the window and saw thick black smoke rising from the tall buildings in the distance. Screams of horror rang everywhere, breaking the tired morning after the festival.

"It wasn't a cannon," he muttered. Then, he immediately began to put on his clothes. "Something happened."

At the sight of the black smoke in the distance, Heller immediately became sleepy as he said, "Go find Mom and Dad and ask them what happened!"

We immediately put on our clothes and went downstairs. There were already many people gathered in the hall. Some servants were whispering, and manor guests were awakened from their slumber.
