And yes..In case you were wondering I decided to stay here for some time ...since clearly I was in the middle of...nowhere ...
In the empire right but where? I don't exactly know ...just...far away from my tower
And I rather stay here until l figure a way to get my magic back than have to work my way here in the wild to survive...
:"kids...can you all gather right here..?."
The older lady who was the first to welcome me in called for an emergency meeting
:"ohh... mother is calling us ...let's go Eris..."
A child seem to be around my age extended his hand to me...I don't actually remember his name just he seem kinda nice
So I took his hand and hopped down the chair allowing myself to be tugged towards the small gathering
It was ergant but not dangerous.... considering her calm and composed expression
The kids however seemed very excited wanting to hear the news from her
:"tomorrow..our lord count valyn is going to visit the orphanage ...of course for regular check up ...he's going to meet every single one of you one by one ."
Count valyn...? So I was right ...this orphanage is been funded by a high Nobel...this explains most of the stuff...
But strangely...instead of the past laugher and excitement...silence filled the space
Ahh.. what's going on here....?

:"WAHHH!."
The wailing of another child cut the silent of the usually calm orphanage
That same child quickly escaped the drawing room face dripping with tears and puffy cheeks
:"oh my again..?."
:"this is the third time this year...ahh where's the new child..? Eris..? Eris ? Come here and meet the count ..."
No thank you
I hugged my knees close to my chest as I crouched in a hidden corner
According to what the kids told me that every few months the count who's funding this orphanage visit it regularly...
While he checking on it's state and conditions personally...even going as far as meeting all the kids in the orphanage...with the intention of adopting one of them
Yet ...non of the kids last more than a minute because of his 'intimidating' precense...
All of them quickly escaping the room in less than minutes
:"he's a monster!."
:"hedius!."
:"very scary..!"
Those were kids words after all ...so not very reliable.
It's not that I am scared of him...but my goal to stay low until I generate enough mana to fend for myself require staying away from Nobls...even tho I don't know the skills of the new generation with mana
:"Eris dear! There you are ! Come here ."
Shit !
One of the caretaker found my hidden spot and immediately grapped me from my hidden spot .
Dragging towards the drawing room
She was clearly panicked...it's ... quite understandable...the man who's funding her job is getting angry (probably) and it was never a good sign
well Nobles have patients...and the count's must had been running thin after all his failed attempt...
The moment we reached the front door of the drawing room
She crouched Infront of me straighten my look and hair
:"alright...Eris...this could be your chance ...you arrived just recently..but you may had gotten yourself a new family! Just smile and stay calm alright...?"
She continue to blab out other instructions but I was more busy thinking about more important things
Do I really want to get adopted..?
Not really...I don't want to steal one of those kids chance for a better life
And I was more than content to stay here especially since I was aiming to stay low from the royalty eyes ...until I gather enough strength ...
So what's the best solution?
Make this guy hate me and convince him to take another child home ...
That was the plan right...? So ..why...
:"you're an interesting child ...am take you home with me ."
