Chapter 103 Invitation
'Lord Field?'
Sitting on a chair in the orphanage classroom, after listening to Anna's words, Dorothy couldn't help but recall this seemingly familiar name. She always felt like she had heard it somewhere. After thinking for a while, she realized that she had often seen this person in newspapers before.
Viscount Field, a local noble of Igwyn, hereditary viscount, and traditional noble. He once traveled abroad for a long time, and started charity work after returning to Igwyn six years ago. It is said that he often goes to the lower city to understand the living conditions of the poor people and provide relief. It can be said that he is the one who understands the lower class people best among the privileged nobles of Igwyn.
Dorothy had read in a recent newspaper that he criticized the police system in Igwynte for not taking action and not taking the lives of the lower classes, especially the lonely, seriously. He claimed that people often disappeared and no one cared. At that time, Dorothy even wondered if the so-called disappearances were the work of the Holy Communion and was worried about the safety of the viscount.
I didn't expect this Viscount to be so kindhearted. He holds a charity once a year and adopts an orphan after the charity is done. If he has held six charity events in six years and six times, he has adopted six orphans. This year is the seventh...
Even for a wealthy and kind-hearted noble, wouldn't this number of adoptions be too many?
"Teacher Meshos, what's wrong with you?"
At this time, Anna, who was standing aside holding a fairy tale book, looked at Dorothy in a daze and spoke in confusion. Dorothy was slightly stunned after listening to Anna's words, and then responded with a smile.
"Ha... It's nothing, Anna. I just remembered something... By the way, I want to ask, do you know those children who were adopted before?"
Dorothy asked Anna, and Anna answered immediately after listening.
"Well... I didn't know the brothers and sisters in the first few years, but I knew them in the later years. For example, Gajil and Bum... They were all adopted by Viscount Fidel two years ago. They were all excellent people in the courtyard and were my role models."
"Really? Then, Anna, have you seen them again after they left?" Dorothy continued to ask. Anna thought about it and nodded in response.
"Yes, I have... but rarely. In the past, the children were not regular. As the Viscount attended many events, we could occasionally see their photos with the Viscount in the newspapers. And every year, the Viscount would bring two adopted children to the charity event, and we could see them then... Well, why are you asking this, teacher?"
Anna asked in a puzzled tone, and Dorothy responded with a smile.
"Nothing, just asking... By the way, Anna, you just said, can I also attend that charity event? You just said that only the upper class people in Igwinter can attend." Dorothy asked Anna, and Anna nodded affirmatively.
"No problem! Since our temple is a key point of the charity, we can have several invitations. As long as Sister Deidre nods, we can also give you an invitation letter. With so many of us together, we will definitely be able to convince Sister Deidre."
Anna's words were full of affirmation and expectation. Looking at Anna in front of her, Dorothy nodded.
"Well... I'll leave it to you then."
…
In the afternoon, in Ci'en Orphanage, the director's office.
Sitting behind the desk, there was an old nun in her fifties or sixties, wearing a black nun's uniform and with wrinkles all over her face. She was the director of the Grace Orphanage, Sister Deidre, and also an official nun of the Igwynte Glowing Church.
Sister Deidre took out an envelope from the drawer and handed it to Dorothy at the table opposite.
"Here, this is the invitation. The time and place are written inside. Don't be late, Miss Meshhos."
"Thank you, Sister Deidre. It is an honor to be able to attend such a banquet."
Dorothy thanked her and said as she took the envelope, while Sister Deidre smiled and said.
"If you want to thank someone, thank those kids. There aren't many students willing to come here for practice. You are the first one who has won their love. You deserve this invitation... Okay, I need to rest now. Fitch, send the guests out."
"Goodbye, Sister Deidre."
Then, Dorothy left the dean's office escorted by a middle-aged man with a bald head. When she came to the corridor, Anna was still waiting there with a book in her arms.
"How is it? Teacher Meshhos, did you get the invitation?"
"Here it is, thanks to you, I got it." Dorothy said with a smile while shaking the envelope in her hand, and Anna also spoke happily.
"That's great! Remember to come and watch our performance the day after tomorrow night. I have to go to the final rehearsal first! Bye!"
As she spoke, Ann waved and ran away. Dorothy also waved with a smile. Then she silently opened the envelope in her hand, took out the invitation letter and carefully checked the address.
"The Gem Theatre at 7pm on the 25th?"
…
At the same time, on the other side, in the upper city of Igwynt, inside the Church of Glory.
In a small room inside the church, there were three figures at the moment. Two of them were male priests wearing black clothes sitting together, and sitting opposite them was a nun with long platinum hair and round glasses.
"Okay... We have a general understanding of the situation, Sister Vanya. We will give Tivian a preliminary report on what you described."
After a long period of questioning, a priest put away the documents in his hand, stood up and said to the nun in front of him, and the nun named Vanya breathed a sigh of relief and spoke.
"This... this is the last time I'll ask you this..."
"Well, for the last time, after our preliminary investigation in Red Creek, the situation is almost consistent with what you said. We believe that there is nothing wrong with your statement. Maybe they will ask you a few more questions after you return to Tivian, but it is just a routine procedure, so don't worry about it.
"Thank the Virgin Mary that there are survivors of this tragedy caused by heresy."
Another priest also stood up and said, listening to their words, Vanya finally put down the worry that had been hanging on her mind for several days.
Half a month ago, after Vanya escaped from the crypt of the chapel in Red Creek Town, she immediately went to the town and sent an emergency telegram to the Glow Parish in Tivian, informing them of the situation here. Then Tivian urgently contacted the Igwinter Church and asked them to immediately send a team of Light Enforcers nearby to rush to Red Creek Town to take control of the situation and take Vanya back to Igwinter under protection.
Not long ago, several teams of Light Enforcers from Tivian came to Igwen County to resume the work of recovering the holy relics from Dekt's tomb. In Igwent, Vanya also began to receive inquiries for several days.
