Chapter 56: Sarah And Diana (1)

"What's their reason for changing up faction?"

"I asked a friend to check their background and just got a reply. They are... really too pitiful," Donna sighed and continued reiterating what she knew about Sarah and Diana.

Sarah was a native Sarielian, and both of their parents were Babel's priests. She had lived a religious and clean life since she was a child, and after she finished her military service, she inherited her parents' duty as a priest. Later, she met Captain Leigh Pisco, executive of the First Weapon Factory in Sariel, and they fell in love with each other and got married.

Their married life was sweet and fulfilling. Soon they had a daughter, the little girl Diana.

Captain Ellie Pisco was a member of the lawful neutral camp, and he had a good relationship with the lawful good Sarah. They also educated their daughter well, and she showed an obvious lawful good characteristic.

However, disaster soon struck. Just before Diana's 9th birthday, Captain Pisco suddenly had an accident.

The First Weapon Factory sent Captain Pisco on a business trip to Nilfheim, "The Frozen City" in the north, to negotiate an important deal with the weaponry department there.

However, Captain Pisco never returned. The news he committed suicide in the Nilfheim arrived at Sarah's ear.

Sarah did not believe in the slightest that her husband would commit suicide. She went to the company and asked for confirmation, only to get a vague explanation from the First Weapon Factory and the Sariel City Guards, saying that Captain Pisco could not bear the pressure of work and ended up committing suicide.

Sarah's intuition told her that they didn't tell her the whole story and were hiding something from her, but she had no one that she could trust and rely on, so she decided to sell her property and borrow money everywhere to investigate the matter privately for almost five years. 

Donna didn't know what they had experienced in the past five years, but all she knew was that ten months ago, Sarah was completely judged as a deviant and had to undergo re-education and rehabilitation.

Six months ago, the treatment failed, and her condition worsened, resulting in her having a rare phenomenon where one person develops three different personalities with different alignments.

Because of this, Sarah was detained in the deepest dungeon prison in the Sariel slum, and received strict supervision. Diana was also sent to an orphanage in the slums, where the people took care of her. 

"Then four months ago, a fire accident allowed the struggling mother and daughter to escape."

As Donna finished telling the story, the three of them arrived in front of a shabby house. The worn door creaked in the breeze, revealing a girl who was dressed in clean and tidy clothes, squatting there, holding a wooden stick, drawing something on the ground. 

Keiko recognized this girl since she personally rescued her at that time. Now she knew her name was Diana Pisco, and she was only 14 years old this year.

Keiko now understood that the five-year investigation and attempt to seek justice had exhausted their family's wealth and they had suffered a heavy debt. On that day, the two men who intended to violate them claimed to be collecting debts legally. Because deviants like them were not protected by law, even if they were violated, the offender wouldn't be punished because formally they didn't break any law. No wonder it was called "legal debt collection". 

How could small fry like debt collectors find them when the military failed to do so? This made Keiko very suspicious.

"Little Diana, where is your mother?" Donna lowered her body slightly and asked Diana.

The girl who was squatting on the ground raised her head and glanced silently at Donna, then Diana's eyes fell on Jeanne and Keiko behind Donna, and her lifeless face finally changed. Especially when she saw Keiko, she bit her lip almost instantly, and her whole body tensed up. Obviously, she still clearly remembers the benefactor who saved her more than ten days ago, and she recognized her at a glance. 

"Diana?" Seeing that the girl wasn't responding, Donna called out to her again. 

The girl stared at Keiko and turned her head back to Donna. After looking at her, the girl turned around and entered the room, saying at the same time: 

"Come in, mom is in there." 

The three followed Diana into the house, and as soon as they entered the house, an unpleasant putrid and moldy smell hit their faces.

The house was only about 10 square meters, including the kitchen, bedroom, living room, and other functions. In the center of the room, there was an old-fashioned pedal sewing machine. Sarah was sitting by the sewing machine doing needlework. 

"Mom, someone is looking for you," Diana said weakly, and then sat in the corner with the stove and watched the fire silently. They used the most primitive wood-burning stove because there was no gas in the slums. Only people like Donna, who have connections in the outside world, could afford to pay for gas every month. 

Something was being cooked on the stove, producing a sweet fragrance. As soon as Keiko came in, he could smell the aroma of sweet potatoes.

Sarah looked up at her daughter and saw that the three people had invited themselves in. She hurriedly put down her work and stood up to meet them. She looks a little better than a dozen days ago, but her appearance was still looking slightly haggard. As soon as Donna entered, she started raining apologies down on her while looking at her with pleading eyes. 

"Sister Donna, I'm so sorry for the other day, I... I know that something is wrong with me, but I didn't hide it from you on purpose. I will definitely take good care of myself in the future. Whenever I get sick again, my daughter will tie me up at home. I won't cause you any more trouble, please… please don't drive us away, Sister Donna! Please I beg you…"

Donna waved her hand and said, "It's okay. It's already happened; all you need to do now is pay attention in the future. I'm not here today for this. I bring two friends here. They have something to do with you." 

After that, Donna Casperia stepped aside, invited Jeanne and Keiko to Sarah, and introduced them. 

"This is Major Jeanne Armstrong and this is Second Lieutenant Keiko," Donna looked at the two girls, and then she said, "you can have a talk among yourselves. I'll go back now."

After that, Donna turned around and exited the house, closing the door as she passed by. She understood it would be awkward for her to stay with Jeanne while they asked questions, as it might involve something that she shouldn't know. Anyway, she didn't want to pull into the quagmire and end up in a troublesome situation, so she decisively decided to leave.

After Donna left, Jeanne quickly focused her attention on Sarah in front of her, looking at her with a piercing gaze. Those clear and deep blue eyes gave the impression that no secret could be hidden under their scrutiny.

Sarah's body shrunk, and she bit her lower lips while clenching the bottom of her shirt tightly,  frightened by those gazes
