A Wandering Ronin

New Home

After dawn Berna was ready to wear a suit and tie. He also put all his clothes and belongings in the suitcase. He did not forget to bring an old book with "Ethias" written on it. Exactly eight o'clock in the morning, the sound of horse hooves was heard. Marudi and Merna were immediately greeted by Erma.

"You are very handsome," said Merna when she saw that Berna was already tidy.

"Soon you will have a new room," said Marudi.

"Come on please sit down. I have prepared the adoption agreement documents to be signed,” said Erma while preparing a chair. He then opened a large envelope and took out several documents.

Marudi and Merna carefully read the contents of the agreement file. Then they nodded and Marudi pulled a pen from his coat pocket. He quickly signed the files.

"Thank you, Erma," said Marudi.

Erma just nodded then she put the files back in the envelope. Then she called Berna.

"Now, you are part of the Rombepayung family," said Erma with a smile. Of course the smile is fake.
