Chapter 98: In Need of Help Chapter 98: In Need of Help He hugged her tightly, holding her close.

Then, he patted her head.

“Come on, I’ll help you pack.” That night, he prepared everything she would need.

He packed her bags carefully, adding tools, money, supplies, and even hidden weapons.

He also made training plans for her to follow while she was away.

“You must stay sharp, no matter what.” He gave her advice, told her stories, and even made her laugh a few times.

By the time morning came, he stood at the gates, watching her leave.

He didn’t say much.

Just one sentence “Remember who you are.” Little Sweetie nodded, gripping her bag tightly.

Then, she turned around and left.

She traveled through countries, deserts, rivers, and forests.

She walked for days, sometimes hitching rides, sometimes sneaking onto carriages.

She disguised herself when necessary.

She slept under the stars when she had to.

Not that she had no money, she had more than enough, but she decided to use the journey to upgrade her skills and it really paid off.

And finally She reached Lionara Kingdom.

She took a deep breath, looking around.

This was her new battlefield.

As soon as she entered the capital city, she asked around.

“How can I get a job at the palace?” The townspeople stared at her in shock.

She was just a child, a tiny girl who barely looked four years old And yet, she was asking how to work in the palace?

People whispered.

Some laughed.

Some shook their heads.

But Little Sweetie stood her ground.

She needed to find a way in.

“Little girl, go back to your parents,” kind strangers told her, just as many others had on her way to the kingdom.

No one wanted to help her find work in the palace.

She spent a month in the capital city, staying in an orphanage that took her in.

Every day, she searched for a way into the palace, an opportunity, a miracle, something.

But the words of her father echoed in her mind, steady and sure “Pray, Little Sweetie.

There is a God who made the heavens, the earth, and everything beyond.

He listens to those who call on Him.

Believe that He cares, that He is always with you.

Do what is right, treat others well, and when you ask for help, He will answer.” So every morning and every night, she prayed.

At first, it felt strange, talking into the air, to no one in particular.

But as the days passed, she got used to it.

There was comfort in letting her thoughts and feelings spill out, believing that someone was listening.

Even when everything seemed impossible, she clung to that hope.

And then, one day, everything changed.

That night, Little Sweetie had a dream.

In it, she saw a man, probably in his thirties, seated in the director’s office at the orphanage.

His deep voice carried a tone of authority yet warmth as he spoke about the usual opportunity for the children.

The king had arranged jobs for those about to turn eighteen, giving them a chance to work in the castle as servants, drivers, and in other available positions.

It was a way to ensure that once they left the orphanage, they wouldn’t be left stranded, forced to fend for themselves in a cruel world.

Little Sweetie watched closely, taking in every detail.

The clock on the wall read 11:00 a.m.

when the man finally stood up to leave, shaking the director’s hand before walking out.

She jolted awake.

Her heart pounded with excitement.

This was a possible access point!

But how?

According to what she heard from the teachers, the program was only for those turning eighteen, and she wasn’t old enough.

Still, she couldn’t shake the feeling that this was her chance.

Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes and whispered a silent plea for guidance.

Then, with renewed determination, she got up and prepared herself to meet the man at exactly 11:00 a.m.

Little Sweetie didn’t fully believe that her dream could be real, but with no other leads, she figured she might as well try.

One of the teachers had mentioned that the royal family would soon be sending officials including a man from the palace to collect information on children about to turn eighteen for employment purposes.

It couldn’t be a coincidence that she saw the same thing in her dream when such an event was coming up.

If this was fate guiding her, then fine.

She would follow along for now.

The sooner she completed this mission, the sooner she could go back home and take on real missions.

The next day, ten minutes to 11:00, Little Sweetie left her room and made her way to the director’s office.

But just as she turned a corner, someone blocked her path.

“Little girl, how many times do I have to tell you?

Don’t show up in front of me!

And when you see me coming, take another road!” Little Sweetie: “…” Why do stupid people always go out of their way to find trouble?

Then again, they are stupid.

Little Sweetie tilted her head up, locking eyes with the so called bully, Kenneth.

He was much taller, his broad frame looming over her like a wall.

But she didn’t flinch.

Instead, she blinked slowly, as if evaluating an annoying insect.

Kenneth smirked, mistaking her silence for fear.

“What?

Cat got your tongue?” Little Sweetie sighed dramatically.

“No.

I’m just trying to figure out if talking to you will lower my IQ.” Kenneth “…” Kids nearby “…” A few nearby kids gasped.

Someone even choked on their drink.

Kenneth’s smirk faltered for a second before he scowled.

“What did you just say?” Little Sweetie placed a hand on her chin, pretending to think.

“Hmm.

Maybe if I use smaller words, you’ll understand?” Kenneth’s face turned red, his fists clenching.

Little Sweetie gave him a pitying look.

“Kenneth, bullying takes brain cells.

You might want to conserve yours before they run out.” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS JedidiahBeaufoy Huge Shoutout!
