People walking on one of the streets of Cairn would catch a glimpse of a luxurious black car that was in contrast to the simple houses on this street
A girl with short silver hair got out of the car. She leaned lightly towards the driver
The driver shook his head lightly and left the place
"Ner.." Ner heard a man's voice calling her
Ner turned to her father, who was looking at her worriedly
Jason was returning home after a tiring day at work, but he noticed a luxury black car in front of his house
Everyone passing by looked at this car with admiration, but Jason became worried
Why is this car in front of my house?
Jason stood in front of his house and did not dare to approach the car. He expected that this car belonged to a nobleman or a member of a rich family. Therefore, he did not dare to bother the owner of this car
He was hoping that the presence of this car in front of his house was just a coincidence and that they would leave soon
He didn't do anything wrong, but he realizes that if he upsets a powerful person, it will be his end, and his family may be involved as well
The car door opened and a girl with short silver hair came out
Jason's mouth widened when he saw his daughter get out of this car
What has Ner gotten herself into?
Jason rushed towards his daughter and pulled her into the house after he saw that the car had left the place
Jason opened the door with one hand while holding Ner with his other hand
"Ner!.." Ner and Jason heard screaming sounds when they entered the house
A woman with long silver hair and two children rushed over and hugged Ner tightly
" mama...". Ner didn't resist their strong embrace. " What is the problem?...". She wondered what was causing this sudden scream
"What is the problem?! Did you not receive any of the calls and messages that I sent to you?!.."
Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.
"Samantha, calm down a little." Jason tried to calm his wife down
"Calm down?! .." Samantha's anger increased.
"It seems that you did not hear the news that has spread now. There is a crazy killer who is killing and robbing others in the Rubana Forest..."
" killer?..". Jason looked at Ner worriedly. " Is this correct?.."
"I don't know anything about this topic..." Ner feigned ignorance
"It doesn't matter if you know it or not, you are forbidden from going into that forest until the authorities catch that criminal."
"..." Doesn't this mean that I'm banned from going there for the rest of my life?
Ner was the only person who knew Robin Hood's identity, and she knew that it was impossible for him to be caught, and even if they could find out Robin Hood's identity, no one would dare touch Alexander Ford.
Ner tried to ask her father for help, but Jason was sitting on his knees and talking to his two young children, pretending not to hear this conversation.
"..." Why does her father become so unreliable when her mother becomes angry
Ner sighed inwardly and complied with her mother's orders. "Okay, I'm not going there..."
Samantha nodded and smiled contentedly
"Ner..." Jason rose to his feet, his face turning serious. "Why did you get out of that car?"
" The Car?..". Samantha looked at Jason suspiciously
Jason told her what he saw
Jason and Samantha were looking at Ner, waiting for an explanation
Ner had prepared a suitable excuse
She told her parents that she saved the heir of the Ford family when he was trying to escape from a pack of wolves. So he rewarded her by inviting her to his house and giving her a lot of money, then he ordered one of the servants to drive her home.
She did not dare to tell her parents what really happened. She knew the consequences of revealing the truth, so she decided to take this secret with her to the grave.
She expected her parents to be happy when they heard that she had saved someone as important as Alexander Ford
But their faces were not good at all, they looked at each other in doubt and worry
"You shouldn't have gone with him." Samantha did not hide her anxiety
"I couldn't refuse him." Ner tried to justify her action
"You could have apologized politely."
"Samantha..." Jason interrupted his wife. Then he directed his words to Ner.
"I know that you are happy to help others, but we do not know this person and what his personality is. What if he tries to harm you or has bad intentions. In this case, we will not be able to fight the Ford family."
Ner lowered her head. She was not upset by what her parents said because she knew that this rebuke stemmed from their concern for her.
There were many nobles who enjoyed trampling on those lower than them in rank and power
Therefore, the commoners were careful when dealing with the nobles
Jason smiled and tried to lighten the mood. "Well, there are a lot of bad nobles, but it seems that the heir of the Ford family is not of this type. What is his personality?.."
Ner raised her head and met her father's eyes, realizing that he was trying to alleviate her sadness
Ner smiled and told them about Alexander, who hosted her in his palace, and Alfred, who was like a caring grandfather
She told them about the delicious feast and the impressive library
"Can we go there to eat..." One of Ner's brothers asked innocently
"Haha, you should ask your sister, she might take you with her when she goes to visit Mr. Ford..." Jason rubbed his son's hair, who was laughing animatedly
"Yay.." The two children cheered when they heard that
"I still suspect that he is one of those immoral nobles..." Samantha whispered, sounding unconvinced that Alexander was an innocent person
Ner sold all the cores in a store before returning home. When Ner took out the money she had earned, Jason and Samantha's eyes lit up
"We must go to the temple to offer our thanks to the goddess Themas for this wealth..." Samantha clasped her hands together
"You are right, today is a blessed day for us, and most citizens go to the temple on this day. So this is an opportunity to offer our thanks to the goddess Themas..." Jason got up from his chair and urged everyone to put on their best clothes
-------------
Ner and her family were kneeling in front of the giant statue of Themas
The place was crowded with believers who came from the villages surrounding the city of Cairn, especially since today was a holiday, which allowed the believers to visit the temple.
Ner was praying with her eyes closed. She felt a strange feeling, as if her body was light and possessed tremendous strength
She couldn't open her eyes, as if something was preventing her from doing so
"Ner!.." Jason exclaimed when he saw a golden light emanating from Ner's body
Everyone's attention was drawn towards Ner, whose glow was gradually increasing
The temple guards and clergy in charge of the temple were present, but they stood at a certain distance and did not approach Ner
There was a suspicious look on their faces as if they were waiting for something
Ner's body sent out a golden pillar. Penetrate the ceiling
"Saint..." One of the clerics whispered as he looked respectfully at the golden pillar of light
