The plump man answered in a hushed tone “Those da to chase people out of their hos worse”

The wo but looked down I could see her shoulders droop while she held tightly onto the hand of her daughter

Confused, I continued following everyone until I spotted a few stands on the side of the street Most were al down the tarps that hung over their stands, but Istand that had yet to be completely packed up

In one quickon a rack

“Hey! That’s…” the shopkeeper’s voice trailed off Taking a quick peek back, I could see her looking wide-eyed at the few silver coins I had left on the table

<hr>

Sliding into another nearby side alley between an abandoned bakery and butcher shop with broken s, I hurriedly changed ht

I tied up my hair and tucked it into the leather cap that ran down pastsureon the round and slid it h,” Iout the practice bow I had borrowed from Ellie to complete the adventurer’s ense that no one was carrying their weapon

I blended in with the tides of people all walking solemnly in the same direction Despite how much more crowded it had beco

“Excuseon?” I deepened my voice and avoided eye contact with the nored ain, this time to an elderly woer lady—just a bit older than me—finally responded

“I-It’s over,” she choked back a sob “Those invaders told us to move to Etistin centre if we didn’t want to be hunted down”

“Hunted down?” I said quietly “What about the Dicathen army stationed in Etistin?”

The woman’s pace quickened as she looked back nervously

They weren’t any different froray and black uniformed streaked with blood-red They were also the only ones eapons and they used the into the city centre

That’s when I heard it The first screa—that first screaered more as the crowd in front reached the open area of the city’s square

I pushed ahead through the crowd, trying to squeeze my way toward the front I was in theinto the open area that was once the hub of coot closer, I noticed the change in the air—from fear and worry to despair

I could side the screaroans and even the quiet sobs froot even closer, I could see the people: a broad ht; a wo herfreely; anotherthe other way

That’s when I reached the front

I turned ly towards, not caring about the Alacryans nearby

And I finally saw it My gut clenched and a lump in ures

Two h their bodies high up in the air for all to see

Tere the leaders of this kingdom, and the other tere… my parents
