Chapter 53 - Church.

After I finished eating, I left the room and went downstairs. There I found Lisandra who was still sitting reading her book normally. But now unlike before, she wasn't eating anything.

"Hm, are you better already?" As soon as she noticed my presence, she put her book down and turned her attention to me.

"Yes, I think I was just a little hungry." I smiled at Lisandra as I made up a little lie.

"Good, but wouldn't it be better for you to rest with a little more?"

"Don't worry, I'm doing a lot better already."

"Okay, I'm going to trust you. But try not to try too hard, okay? " Saying that Lisandra picked up her book again and started reading. For someone who seemed very concerned, she stopped paying attention to me very quickly.

'Well, but now what do I do? I think I can just leave since Lisandra is not paying attention to me.' I looked at Lisandra and she was with her eyes only on the book, she wasn't even caring about what was going on around her.

I know I read a lot when I was younger. But unlike me, I think she is crossing the line a bit.

Okay, whatever.

I walked towards the exit of the inn and decided to go to the main square of the city. Before leaving, my eyes met Sara's, but she just smiled and didn't seem to care about me.

I left the inn and now everything was as before. Nobody was as excited as last night, it was like the first day of the fair, everyone going shopping and having fun.

The streets were still busy, but this time it wasn't as busy as before, so I was able to walk normally all over the place. Even the main square of the city was more empty than the other days.

And now there were also a lot of half-animal people around here.

Walking through the square, I noticed that the tents had returned to their respective places. Even the stall that was at the fountain was there, it was as if everything was combined and all the stalls and vendors were in the same places every day.

I think that's how it works, right? Maybe I'm wrong. Who cares anyway? I never worked as a merchant.

The first thing I started looking for was the same carriage the man had come to last night, but of course, it was nowhere around. The only thing I was able to find was a few people who were here yesterday.

Yes, the same disgusting people who were here last night celebrating the executions, were now visiting the fair normally. And it kind of pissed me off a little bit.

'But I have to stop caring about it now ..' Seeing that I wouldn't find the carriage near the square, I started to move a little further away from the place, also paying attention to the guards that were there.

For I could recognize some of these guards as those who helped that man to execute people, and that would make things much easier.

I continued walking through the narrow alleys of the city and found buildings that I had never seen before. Some of these buildings looked really dangerous, it was the kind of place that some evil secret society would use as its base.

I may have read a lot of stories, but these places looked just like that.

'Well, but I don't think a secret society is involved in this.' Since the executions came at the behest of the king, it was kind of obvious.

I continued walking through the streets for a little while longer until I got a little closer to the poorest area of ​​the city, where something strange was happening. People who used to be on the streets now seemed to be locked in their homes.

The only things on the street were rubbish and some drunken beggars dumped in some alleys.

I walked the dirt streets and started to think about what could have happened, but I couldn't come to any conclusions.

Seeing that I couldn't find out what was happening on my own, I decided to approach one of the men on the street. He wore a slightly less dirty outfit and didn't look as drunk.

As soon as I approached, he looked at me confused and waited for me to say something.

"What's it?" He looked at me seeming to be threatening me in some way.

"It's nothing, I just want to know where everyone is."

"Hmm?" He put his hand on the hat on his head and fixed it. Looking at it better, he didn't look drunk, but he seemed to be a man who didn't like talking very much.

"I would like to know where everyone is. I came here some time ago and things seemed to be busier. "

"Ahhh, you are talking about this. Well, I don't know very well either. "

"You don't live here?"

"I live right here." He pointed to the house behind him. It was a little damaged and dirty.

"I see, and even you lived here, you have no idea what's going on." I wanted to call him a donkey, but he may not have seen anything.

"To tell you the truth something is going on over there." He pointed his finger to the northeast of the city, but I couldn't understand. The only one that was there was more houses, a few shops and after a few kilometers there was the wall around the city.

"Where exactly? Near the wall? "

"No, you idiot, over there." He pointed to one of the buildings in the neighborhood, a building I had seen before. The same building that I had thought was a church.

I'm sure it was a church.

"At church? But isn't that building abandoned? " I didn't go inside to get an accurate idea of ​​the state of the place, but it was certainly very old and deteriorated.

"Well, I don't know exactly what's in there, but a strange carriage appeared here and we were ordered to stay at home, that's all."

"What was this carriage like?"

"It was a carriage full of details, it certainly looks like something that someone very rich would use."

"I see, a nobleman's carriage."

"That's right."

"When did this happen?"

"I think it was last night, but I was drunk, I don't remember very well."

"But did they say how long you would have to stay inside your houses? I hardly see anyone here. "

"It has happened a few times, and no one ever knows the right time to leave from their home, people just leave."

"I understand."

"But why do you look so worried, are you involved with these peoples in any way?"

"Let's say I'm a little bit involved in this, but only a little." I shouldn't be getting involved, but I can't help myself.

But why soon in a church? Don't tell me that you are trying to create some kind of sect and summon a demon in the middle of the capital? No, the king himself would have to be involved in this.

I thanked him and said goodbye to the man. After that, he went into his house and I went to the church.

On the way, I was able to meet some people who were outside their homes and living normally. There were also some children playing on the street as on the day I came with Lisandra to this place.

I think the "restriction" is over for these people.
