Chapter 897 - Daruk
After the victory at Moonwater City, Princess Tavier successfully repelled Heylan forces from several more provinces, completely putting Goldspink on the winning side.
The leaders of these provinces all believed that a total triumph was soon, so they instead set their eyes on another problem at hand—the refugees.
Following Conera’s example, Waterford also began to encourage refugees to make a living by themselves. During work time, they were free to work in the city as long as they carried the required permissions. At night, they would be arranged at the refugee camps outside the city.
Such a life wasn’t really enjoyable. But at least the refugees were glad that they had a proper way to survive.
Daruk was one of the many hapless homeless trying to earn a living, but apart from himself, he also had to take care of his grandfather.
Folks escaping from the war hardly had time to tend to their elderly members. Those too old to travel were either left behind or stayed behind in the war zones willingly so that they did not put too much burden on their families. This was why one couldn’t usually find old men in the camps.
Daruk’s grandfather was an exception. As an ill-bodied figure way beyond his 70s, this man managed to leave his enemy-controlled hometown and moved for a thousand kilometers until he came to Waterford, all thanks to Daruk’s help.
Luckily, this pair survived the most toilsome of their times. Daruk had a job in the city that provided just enough income for both of them to eat, and things could have turned for the better at this rate.
