Chapter 148: In the Plains Outside the Village

In the plains outside the village, the autumn nights were alive with echoing bug song. Whenever Belgrieve would walk with a lantern, flying bugs of all sizes would dive for the light and end up colliding with his body and face. The grass was coated in evening dew that dampened his clothing with every step, and his bare ankles would end up chilled. But his twelve-year-old daughter paid no heed to any of this as she raced around the field.

“Ange, it’s dangerous to run,” Belgrieve called out while trying to shoo away the bugs buzzing his face.

“Hee hee...” Angeline giggled, turning to her father. She ran back to him and latched on. “The stars are so pretty!”

“Yeah, they are.” Belgrieve patted his daughter on the head before extinguishing the lantern, instantly cloaking them in darkness. But the black silhouettes of the mountains were still visible under the clear starry sky, and after their eyes adjusted, they could vaguely see the grass around them.

Angeline squeezed her father’s hand tighter, blinking in astonishment at the transformed nightscape. “It’s even prettier than before...”

“Isn’t it? When other lights are gone, those little stars out there shine all the brighter.”

Without turning away from the night sky, Angeline held out both her hands to Belgrieve. “Hold me.”

“Hmm? Ha ha! Up you go.” Belgrieve stooped over slightly and hoisted Angeline up.

They could faintly hear the sounds of the feast being held in the village behind them. The peddlers had started to arrive a few days ago, and soon it would be time for the autumn festival. The festive atmosphere in Turnera would increase with every caravan that arrived.

Soon, his daughter would set off for the City of Orphen. Once the festivities ended, she would leave along with the last caravan—he had already arranged for it.

Belgrieve watched as Angeline nuzzled into his chest and smiled. “You’re going to be leaving soon, Ange.”

“Yeah...” Angeline adjusted her position without moving her face.

Belgrieve gently patted her head as he slowly made his way through the wet grass.

“You’ll see all sorts of things and meet all sorts of people.”

“Yeah...”

“I’m sure it’ll be fun. You’ll see sights you could never even dream of in Turnera.”

“Yeah.” Angeline gently lifted her head and looked up at Belgrieve. “But today, I heard something from the peddler...”

“Hmm?”

“He said there are loads of bad people in the city. They’re cunning, and sometimes they fool you into being a bad person too. He said I need to be careful.”

Belgrieve smiled wryly as he tapped her on the head. “That’s right. There are all sorts of people in the world. Good people and bad people...”

“What do I do if they trick me? What if I become a bad girl...?” Angeline’s face became anguished at the prospect.

Belgrieve laughed softly and rubbed her back. “It’s all right, that’s not going to happen. You’re strong-willed. Didn’t you promise daddy that you would become a strong and kind adventurer?”

“I did.”

“And...”

“And...?” Angeline looked at him curiously.

Belgrieve’s smile never wavered as he shifted her into a slightly stronger embrace.
