(Eight episodes)

“As she said then, we’re making her look suspicious.

He was speechless, not because Roland was playing a bad side.

On the contrary, Roland’s words were a little more than a little more sari.

A guilty young woman who carried two children would have looked very unnatural.

But Carina shook her head.

"No, I'm not. I'm so wrong if I'm wrong." "Really?"

Roland’s eyes shook.

“So, can I tell you why?”

“...yes.”

Carina bent over and whispered, her eyes level with the children.

“Because we didn’t seem to have any money.”

It sounded quite plausible, I guess. It was even half true. Carina went on quickly.

“It’s not a big deal. You can go somewhere very cheap. No matter how little money you don’t have, you’ll take us.”

"Did you do that?"

“That’s what it was.”

Carina nodded, her head stiffened. Roland’s expression brightened very slowly. Carina bent down and pinched Roland’s cheek.

“Don’t worry about nonsense now, okay?”

“Yes!”

Roland’s answer was bright in his ear.

****

The cheapest inn on the inn street was a five-kivrin inn a day.

The clean was not properly done as soon as she entered, and the sticky floor and the smell of the stale smell ached, but Carina did not turn away.

These inns are no one’s choice. They could not hurt their children to be rejected again in search of a better environment.

The owner of the inn, who had a nap with his hairy feet on the counter, was snowing like a toad in the winter when they came in.

Carina drew her courage

Hi!

The owner of the inn looked up at her and spoke out loud.

“Ten gibrins a day.”

“Five kiblins.”

“That’s a man-in-law, so they’re kids, so you two have to put them on the bed, don’t you?”

Carina frowned. Ordinarily, the inn was not a two-person room? But Carina didn’t have time to argue.

She had already closed her eyes and was beginning to drowsy, so she could lay down on the bed and give Roland the bread he had eaten yesterday.

“I understand.”

“Prepaid.”

Carina carefully took out a ten-kibrin silver coin from her pocket and handed it to the owner of the coffin.

“Food? One quibrin per meal.”

No problem.

“I’m sorry.”

Carina shook her head. The inn was a little filthy. It was almost as if she could make food in some environment.

Lord Lenke abused the children, but at least the users were faithful to the original work of sweeping and cleaning the mansion.

No matter how cheap it was, I could not feed the children the food made in this place.

I’ll have to go to the hotel tomorrow, and I’ll have to move it.’

Carina was handed the key to the room by the owner of the inn.

It was a rusty key, but Carina was a son with no face to face.

It was nothing compared to the unidentified liquids I used to clean in Lord Lenke's laboratory.

The stinking smell grew even worse as we walked down the hall.

Roland and Melissa were frightened, and they clinged to her skirt. It hurt her heart, and Carina breathed out.

I had to figure out how to solve the situation now.

mother

Melissa looked at Carina with sleepy eyes.

“Nothing.”

She tried to laugh. Fortunately, Melissa was just sleepy, and Carina stroked her head and she fell into the skirt.

Finally they reached the assigned door of the cabin, and the door was not locked, with the wormholes.

“....”

The three lost their words for a moment and looked at the room.

The power was a moldy mess, and the dusty window was so dusty that I could not tell when it was the last time I wiped it.

Two Kim Dae-dae were also filthy, so I thought I should put on my coat and put it to bed.

I’ll have to do a morgue first.’

Carina laughed at the thought. She slept only a day and was in the horse quarters. Cleaning!

"Let's move tomorrow somewhere else."

“We’ll have to go to the wrong place and get kicked out again.”

Roland pointed out a major problem.

More precisely, it would be a good thing that Carina and the children seem suspicious.

But Carina knew the answer to both questions.

“You can buy new clothes.”

If you do not explain the situation, you can tell that you are a young widow who took on two children of a dead husband if you wear mourning.

Carina hoped the new method would work, as the money would be worth a lot of money to buy mourning.

“A new dress?”

Roland opened his eyes.

“Yes, I’m the only one who’ll buy new clothes, and I don’t have your clothes like a bad stepmother.”

“...Is it because of the clothes you wore that you don’t have?”

In fact, Carina was not in the doorway when she was being treated fairly well in Lord Lenke's house, at least not to the point where she was being kicked out of this cheap inn street.

But Carina nodded her dog with a serious face.

“Of course, and you haven’t been able to wash your clothes properly for a week, and it’s going to look like a beggar.”

"Right away, I'm going to buy it right now!"

Roland grabbed Carina's hand as if he would run away right now.

“You’re here.”

“Why?”

“Melissa’s going to go to bed?”

Roland looked at Melissa and accepted Carina’s words in the gold room.

Melissa was already half-stuck in bed, and her eyelids seemed to be barely resting.

He couldn’t leave Melissa alone, so of course Roland had to stay in the room.

Roland said, his face sad.

“Go ahead.”

“Of course, don’t look at Melissa too much, you’re resting, and whoever comes, can’t you open the door?”

Carina lay Melissa down on the bed, gave Roland the bread he had left, and locked the door firmly.

I wanted to buy only mourning and come back immediately, thinking of the children to wait, but there was the most important thing to solve today.

It was a job.

****

Nothing was as easy as finding a date Lee in Tors, as merchants said.

But whether you succeed in getting that job was a completely different question.

They all asked Carina when her husband died, if she had a child, and as soon as she told her that Carina was two, she hated her and kicked her out.

It was no use saying that the children were so big that they did not have much hands.

“What if they get sick? You’re going to be out crying then, aren’t you? You can’t take a guy like that.”

“...I won’t lose it.”

"How do you believe that?"

In the end, Carina had no choice but to return to the tenth store.

Carina entered the next store mechanically, with a room for people.

This time it was a jewelry store.

“I’m Carina Bloe, and I came here because you wanted to save someone.”

Bondi Carina had no last name.

The mother who died early had a castle, but it was customary for illegitimate children not to use both parents' surnames.

So Carina decided to use the children's castle.

The older-looking jeweler was looking at the jewel with his glasses on.

He put down the equipment quietly and looked at Carina. Carina waited nervously for his next words.

He’ll ask if he’s dead.’

But the jeweler shook his head and said only a word.

“No.”

“...I’m a widow?”

“It’s not that. I only get someone who knows a certain amount of jewelry. How do you hire someone who doesn’t know how to distinguish Ruby from garnet?”

“....”

Carina had to shut up, because she really couldn’t tell Ruby from garnet.

In fact, I have only heard that both have such things.

She gave up quickly and turned and walked slowly out of the store and stopped.

I could not take my eyes off the stone that came into my eyes.

“...?”

Carina wondered at herself, but she looked at the stone and looked at it again.

The rugged, fist-sized stone did not look like a jewel anywhere.

I could believe it if I had picked up a rolling stone on the street and put it in a heat field.

But somehow, the stone seemed to be more valuable than the gem here, and the angle of life did not leave my mind.

Next time.

The stones radiated light, and the jeweler's urgent cry was lodged in Carina's ear.

"Break up!"

Carina forced her eyes off the stone, but it was too late.

A huge beam of light hit them.
