Chapter 290: SORROW
There were around eighty children in this orphanage now, the number significantly increased recently because of the last attack of the monsters during the new year party. While some of them were being taken care of by their extended families, some of them didn’t have any relatives around the capital city, as they came from different continents, following their parents to trade here.
Because of their large number while the rooms in the orphanage were not really enough to accommodate them all, Prince Kellan started building another building right next to the first one, construction of which would be finished around four to six months from now.
The citizens cheered at the Prince’s generosity and the act of kindness he showed to people, capturing their hearts and somehow easing the tension in the capital a little. And with the impact of it, they saw Cane in a good light too, since he had always been seen with the Prince lately, especially when he visited the orphanage and donated for building construction and new blankets for them.
Those children were very happy to receive new blankets for them to sleep in, especially when these blankets were very soft and of good quality.
Among those children, who ranged between one year old to fourteen years old, there were two babies that were still being breastfed.
"This building is the first project that I took upon after being crowned as the Crown Prince," Kellan said, reminiscing the past, as he stared at the building. "Father didn’t agree with my decision, as they didn’t see the need in caring for those children, deeming them a burden for the kingdom, but I have a different opinion. Probably, since that time, father no longer likes me." Kellan grinned at Cane.
On the other hand, Cane dismissed the warrior, who always pushed Kellan’s wheelchair, because this time, the Alpha did it himself, as they strolled around this area, watching a few children approach them with big smiles on their faces.
Most of them were already familiar with the Prince, as they greeted him with their beautiful smiles and some of them looked at Cane with curiosity, while the others looked a little bit scared because Cane was not full of smiles, nor did he make small talk with them, unlike the Prince. More so, Cane’s scar was a little bit scary to look at for them.
They walked for a little while, but then two children around the age of eight and ten came to Prince Kellan, asking him to show them how to play some instruments and the other children nearby chimed in.
