She scooped the ashes into her hands, attempting to identify which ones belonged to Boye and Grandpa. However, there was dark-colored dust and ashes everywhere in the castle's ruins. She could no longer tell them apart.
Baby Zetty curled up on the ground while crying out heart-wrenchingly.
In the end, she used her pair of slender and beautiful hands to desperately move those collapsed walls. She wanted to try and gather the ashes nearby. She wanted to fulfill Mr. Boye's last wish and return to Sacred Land with her and Grandpa’s ashes.
Baby Zetty pried away one of the rocks and suddenly discovered several colorful hard beads lying under the rock. She was astonished and could recall from the books she read that some people would end up becoming relics after death. However, this phenomenon often occurred only when an anchorite died in a praying posture.
How did Boye and Grandpa end up as relics as well?
Baby Zetty did not look further into it. She quickly gathered all of the relics around and prepared to leave. 1
However, there was the sound of footsteps rushing
over in the distance.
Baby Zetty hurriedly hid behind one of the dilapidated walls. The sound of footsteps gradually grew closer, and she saw a group of people wearing demon masks coming near the ruins.
One of the men wearing a black wolf mask raised his hand and said, "Boye is a cunning woman. Back then, her mother had used the same trick to slip from our hands, thoroughly deceiving us and rescuing little Boye in the process. Boye must have repeated her mother's old tricks as well. I heard that she had been quietly staying inside this castle for the past few years, so it's very likely that she’s been devoting herself to teaching the art of healing to her last disciple. All of you keep a close lookout for me. This time, we mustn't let another Boye descendant escape our grasp."
The subordinate next to him said, “Don't worry, Master. We're in full control of everyone in this village, so even if Boye has an apprentice, it’ll be impossible for them to escape."
The man in a black wolf mask landed a slap across his subordinate’s face and scoffed. "Not just humans, arrest all of the living creatures around. We must never allow a single Boye descendant to have a chance to survive."
Baby Zetty was so terrified that her heart began to throb. She had never experienced such fright while she was all alone ever since she was a child. At this time, she could not help but think about how it would be great if Brother Finn were by her side.
