The atmosphere of midnight was quiet but gripping for Ferderick who was about to escape from the slave prison, his heart was not calm when he thought he thought if they failed this time, this time, he did not care much about him who could escape anytime after the noble Lady brought him, but the problem was his sister, who was the problem, if they do not escape, Kaisan's fate will be very unfortunate to be here alone, not to mention if they torture Kaisan who has tried to escape, ferderick's forehead kept shrinking as he kept thinking about such a thing.
"Kai, wake up" whispered ferderick in the ear of Kaisan who was still sleeping soundly, I don't know what will happen to this innocent child if separated from his brother.
Kaisan rubbed his eyes "yes sister I woke up" he got up from his brother's lap and sat down.
Ferderick began to step out his feet, watching the guards who were guarding the night, all of them were fast asleep, Ferderick's heart started pounding, his hands clenched, his head clenched, there was no longer any chance for him to bring his sister from that place other than tonight, he steeled his resolve.
Ferderick took the key out of his pants pocket, he began to open the padlock that was attached outside the iron bars, Kreekk, finally the padlock was open, he called his sister with his hand and told her to be quiet, as they started to step out someone called out to him.
"Hey, are you guys going to run away?" said the brown-haired young lady in the prison next door, ferderick immediately put his index finger on his lips to keep the woman quiet as his eyes focused on observing the sleeping guards.
"We will find a way to free you all after getting out of here" whispered Ferderick, the woman nodding with a face that expected nothing from the words of the ten-year-old.
"May you not be caught" the woman murmured.
Slowly Ferderick and Kaisan stepped foot with heart, thankfully it seemed like the guards had just drunk alcohol so the security was a little loose, even the main door they forgot to lock it, thanks to that Ferderick and Kaisan easily made it out of the main door.
Suddenly a guard who had just returned from the restroom caught them "Hey you guys" exclaimed the man as he tidied his pants. Ferderik pulls Kaisan and they run quickly while the man wakes his sleeping partner. Ferderick kept running around carrying his sister without looking back, he just focused on staying away from the place.
Before long the entire guard woke up and chased after them "dumb basics, quickly find the two of them" said one of the more senior guards.
"Well" answered the other guards.
Ferderick stopped because Kaisan had fallen, and he saw the guards approaching them with torches, "my feet hurt" Kaisan complained, not having much time finally Ferderick held his back, ferderick ran back until he entered a forest, the eyes of ferderick began to observe torches chasing them are still visible, it's a sign they can not feel safe.
Ferderick kept running to bring his brother into the forest deeper and deeper, he looked around again, the torch light was invisible, he lowered his sister, his breathing was breathless, sweat flooded the child's body.
"I'm sorry, brother, you must be in trouble for taking me" Kaisan said with a regretful look.
"Don't talk like that Kai, you'll do anything to keep us safe, from now on you can only trust your sister, do you understand?" Kaisan nodded.
The two of them rested under a large tree in the middle of the forest, while the guards of the tribulation slave prison searched for them in the darkness and arrived in front of the forest
"Are they hiding in this forest?" said one of the guards.
"Eiiiyy where maybe the boy dared to go in there, you know in the forest there are so many wolves right?" replied partner.
"You know, I don't want to be a wolf"
"But what if the boss slashes our throats because tomorrow morning the boy will be picked up by Mrs Barnie"
"Ahh bodo time, I don't want to die eaten by wolves" the guard went and the others followed him because they felt goosebumps and their hair was standing.
Ferderick went back to the surroundings, a place that was completely silent, thankfully they went into the dark forest, "what's the pain?" ferderick sees kai's legs but is invisible because of the dark.
"I'm okay brother"
"Really, you can hold it until we get out of here in the morning, right?"
"Yes I can, brother don't have to worry"
"Good, tell me it's getting sicker"
"Good"
"Stand on your shoulders, and sleep"
"Yes" Kaisan began to lean his head against his brother's shoulder, the boy did not want to make his brother more difficult by complaining about the pain in his leg, he held it with all his might.
Srekkk sreeeeekkkk, Ferderick heard the sound of something moving slowly between the leaves of trees or shrubs from a direction not far from where they rested.
Ferderick began to be wary, because it could be that the guards chased them up there by turning off the torch, he tendered the body of the kaisan who was asleep on the tree trunk, he said, he got up and moved silently silently following the source of the voice, how surprised he was to see a pair of sharp eyes that seemed to light up in the darkness, unmistakably it was a wolf, he said, tappi the wolf headed somewhere, ferderick followed the wolf by hiding among the trees, Wolf stopped his steps, how shocked ferderick was to see the wolf approaching a man who was lying there.
Ferderick began to doubt, should he help the person who is not yet clearly dead or not yet it or he should find safety for himself by going back to Kaisan and bring his brother out of the forest, ferderick turned around, but unable to step on his feet and simply ignored someone, he took out a penknife from the pocket of his pants that he took from the sleeping slave prison guard.
Ferderick walked up to the grin that was preparing to prey on the body before him, slowly he kept approaching, he stabbed the wolf from behind, the wolf turned to look at someone who had stabbed him from behind, his eyes grew sharp as the anger of a child disturbed his pleasure, ferderick realized that his little blade would not be able to kill the big wolf, ferderick saw the sprawled man carrying a pocket of sword on his waist, and he could not kill the big wolf, he immediately took it and fought with the wolf, before long he managed to slash the wolf with several attacks.
He approached the body of the owner of the sharp sword he had just used, he examined the man's pulse and nose, he was still breathing, but the wound was quite large in his stomach, he was still breathing, it seems that he has also shed a lot of blood, Ferderick thinks a lot before treating it, but for a moment he thinks back, saving the life of someone who really needs is the main thing.
Ferderik stretched out his hand over the man's wound, it gave off a golden radiance capable of healing a wound, yes, count Steward's family basically had a holy power to heal like the power possessed by healing priests, however, the power was deliberately kept secret because more and more people wanted to use their power and if the power was to leak into the ears of the emperor or the nobles, the one who possessed it had to live by devoting that power to treating the higher-ups in the empire by becoming a priest who specialized in serving emperors and high-class nobles, respectively, because their strength was greater than the strength of a healing priest and the Count Steward family felt it was simply an attempt to harness one's power by using status as the reason, while the common folk had to spend a lot of money to get treatment from a healing priest who worked in the temple.
