The royal knights finally arrived, they searched the house and took away all the valuables .  It took them less than 30 minutes to finish the job . 
They packed up the valuables and put them on the horses .  The loyal knights left the area quickly . 
Fra waited for a while and slowly climbed down a rope by the edge of the roof .  She sneaked into the house and rushed out of it several minutes later .  There were tears on her face and blood on her outfit . 
There were several old books and a damaged crossguard sword in her arms .  Those were the treasures she collected over the years .  
There was a white circle around the house; she also saw a white flag waving on the grassy ground . 
Fra tried her best not to cry out loud .  She looked around with a confused look on her face; she had no idea what she should do . 
  *************************
Angele won two games in a row; Vivian was upset about it .  She finally let Angele leave after Angele lost two games to her intentionally . 
He walked down the street and headed to his shop .  The people on the street were all chatting with fear on their faces . 
Angele heard words like "church", "white flag", and "knights" . 
"Hey, Andre!" a man with a hoe in the hand greeted Angele .  "Do you know that the knights went to the Mayor's house?"
"Hey, Misho .  What did he do?" Angele was a bit surprised . 
"I heard that they were assisting wizards .  I already saw the white circle and the white flag around his house"—Misho lowered his voice—"the white circle and the flag mean that the Mayor is considered as a traitor, his whole family will be wiped out!"
"You heard it too?" a young girl that was just passing by interrupted . 
"I heard that the white flag appeared at noon .  I think they were already executed . "
"That's sad… Loria was a good mayor .  I didn't expect him to be with the wizards, maybe they were the ones who built the house on the hill…" Misho made his voice even lower . 
"Also, the people who got lost over the years were probably captured by the wizards .  The wizards can turn them into frogs and insects!" A middle-aged woman also joined the conversation . 
    They walked as they chatted .  The Mayor treated the local people well but he was then turned into an evil being that helped the wizards . 
Angele sighed as he listened to the conversation; he thought of Fra right away—they just met in the morning . 
He knew what the royal knights and holy knights were up to .  The wizards already told him what they learned by letters, the people with power were just trying to maximize their profit by conducting the wizard hunt . 
"No one has found Tom yet, the kid is now wanted .  You can get 20 gold coins if you can capture him alive… That's about 2000 silver coins… I don't know why they are going so hard on a child…" Misho shook his head . 
"If the Loria Family is helping the wizards, the kid must be evil too, he must know that his father was dealing with the wizards," the middle-aged woman interrupted .  "That's a lot of money you know, 20 gold coins will keep my family fed for over 30 years…" 
Angele was not interested in the conversation, he turned left and entered a quiet alley when they were still talking . 
There were two garbage bins in the alley and the fermented fruits around the bins made the air stink . 
He heard footsteps as he started heading to his shop again . 
*Ka-ta Ka-ta Ka-ta*
Angele turned his head around and saw a team of guards patrolling the area .  The guards were all drunk heads that barely worked before the knights came .  They were all going after the Mayor's girl . 
"You'll get 10 gold coins if you can tell us where Tom is!" the guards shouted as they ran . 
The sentence was repeated numerous times and finally stopped after the guards moved to the next area .  Angele started walking again, he suddenly stopped when he passed the two garbage bins .  He opened the garbage bin on his left quickly . 
There was a young girl inside, the girl had a pair of clear blue eyes on her dirty face .  She was staring at Angele in fear and there was an egg-shaped birthmark on his forehead . 
Angele looked at the girl's eyes, they were filled up with desperation, fear, and pain . 
"Tom?" He opened his mouth .  "No, I mean, Fra, right? You were in my shop this morning . "
Fra heard the familiar and gentle voice, she could no longer hold it and the tears started running down her cheeks again .  The tears left two lines on her face due to the dirt . 
Angele did not know how he could make Fra feel better . 
He patted Fra's head and removed a piece of garbage from her hair . 
                 "You can go with me if you have nowhere else to go . "
Fra moved out of the garbage bin carefully and stood in front of Angele .  Her body stank and the flies were flying around her . 
"Let's go, you're now a worker in my shop and your name is Fra .  I assume only your parents and I know this name . " Angele looked at Fra and Fra nodded . 
He did not care that she was in a garbage bin, Angele quickly took off his coat and gave it to Fra . 
"You were from a different town, right? I think you'll need this since this area is cold . " Angele covered the girl's body with the coat, he grabbed her hand and they walked to the other side of the alley . 
The church and the knights were going after Angele but the Mayor's family was caught in the middle of it .  Angele was a selfish wizard but he still decided to take care of Fra . 
Angele watched Fra grew up and liked the girl .  Fra was one of the few customers that would actually buy his items . 
They returned to Angele's shop without being noticed .
