Chapter 65: Isn’t that a waste of money?
Cass, flushed, but fully dressed, stepped out of the carriage. Draken had offered his hand to help Cass out, but Cass wouldn’t even look in his direction. Draken was laughing silently, and Cass, because of Draken’s larger frame, could see it even if he didn’t want to.
Tilting his nose up further, Cass turned, scanning the area. He was trying to see where Sam and Sir Forsythe had gone, but he was able to hear them before he saw them.
"My goodness. Did Lord Blackburn really send so many things?" It was a high pitched lady’s voice, followed up by Sam’s lower voice.
"He did, Ma’am. He was very concerned once he heard. Oh, here comes the Lord now!" Sam turned, revealing the giant smile he had on his face. It faltered as he realised that the Lord Blackburn that he had left was in disarray compared to when he’d last seen him. Sam glanced at Sir Forsythe, he held his tongue, and Cass felt his lips twitch.
He could feel that Sir Forsythe was going to get a tongue lashing from him.
"Sam! I see that your mission was quite successful." Cass declared, glancing over the several carriages that were continuing to pull up and park near the orphanage entrance. "How is the beast clean up going, Sir Forsythe?" He turned his attention towards his knight, and Sir Forsythe lowered his head.
"I have spoken to Ser Hune and she has been busy cleaning up the bodies so that the children don’t see them. Sir Sanders is making sure that the children aren’t traumatized, and dealing with the mess the dire wolf left behind in the playground." Cass felt his face warm, before he cleared his throat, nodding.
"That’s good to hear." Cass turned to the woman Sam had been speaking to. She seemed to be staring at him, a slightly confused look on her face. She took in his attire, the baggy shirt that even after he had tucked it in still didn’t fit him, his plaid features, white-silver hair and red eyes, and the way that the other two had differed to him.
She swallowed, before she gave a slight bow.
"G-Greetings, my Lord. I had never thought that you would come to visit." She stated, her eyes darting around as people kept unloading things from the carriages arriving. Cass nodded.
"Well, had I known that it was so close by, I would have stopped by sooner. Tell me, does this happen often?" Cass asked and she looked a little bit ashamed.
