Chapter 587: WHY SHOULD I?
It was a letter from Joyce again, asking whether Iris could come and get the children out of the capital because the royal guards and warriors became more and more violent. The monsters appeared in the capital city more often now, but the royal warriors didn’t do anything about it, unless something happened in the palace.
Because of that, while the people tried to defend themselves, the sorcerers in the capital city tried to create barriers for their safety.
Many people died and those who tried to flee from the capital city were killed brutally. The children were afraid, the orphanage was not safe anymore after Trion and the others had left.
Thankfully, Trion taught them how to send letters by hawks secretly, so the guards and warriors around the city wouldn’t notice it, but Joyce and the other children must be very careful about it and they couldn’t send letters as often as they wanted.
At the end of the letter, Joyce wrote; please, help us, luna Iris...
Her handwriting was so bad, it was almost like her little hand was shaking out of fear and helplessness, begging Iris to come and save them.
Iris stared at the letter with mixed feelings. She said nothing, but from the look on her expression, it was not that hard to tell what was in her mind right now.
"We can’t go to the capital city yet," Cane answered the unspoken question. He pulled Iris closer and patted her back, as if he was trying to abate the turmoil inside of her.
The most frustrating thing was; Iris knew that. She understood their situation and knew Cane couldn’t magically take the children away from the capital city, especially when the orphanage was located so close to the palace.
Cane had been trying to avoid the power struggle in the palace and because Alan was on the throne now, things wouldn’t go well with them. Once they were in his hands, there was no way Alan would let them go, unless they died.
You could start to imagine all the horrendous things that might happen to the people, who were loyal to Cane, once Alan got a hold of the alpha.
