The next day, Cale was ready to head to the old man’s grave. Naturally, he needed to get rid of the humans and kittens who wanted to follow him. To shut down any protests, he had to select a sole companion no one would object to.

“I’ll only be taking Choi Han with me,” he declared.

Once he’d appointed Choi Han—the strongest, most rigid person there—as his guard, neither the vice-captain nor Hans could say anything.

The vice-captain just furrowed his brow and said that he needed to train his knights, whom he then began to harangue. As Cale watched, the vice-captain sent the stunned knights to the drill hall immediately.

Hans just said one thing before disappearing: “I’ll take care of our kittens.” He seemed very excited about spending time with the pair.

Turning away, Cale left the inn. Choi Han followed him. “We’re doing something again today?”

“‘Again’? You make it sound like I cause some sort of chaos ­every day.”

Choi Han didn’t respond, but Cale couldn’t have cared less about his silence. He headed to the mountain beyond the wealthy neighborhood, adding, “I have to visit that mountain over there. You just need to wait for me at the base.”

“I understand.”

Choi Han said nothing more, which Cale found comforting. The young man didn’t try to elicit answers from him. He followed Cale but expressed no curiosity. Choi Han’s attitude was probably only feasible because he thought he could figure Cale out if he really wanted to, and because he doubted he’d be in danger, no matter what Cale wound up doing.

Passing through a stereotypical upper-crust neighborhood, Cale reached the small mountain. He stopped after hearing Choi Han call out to him.

“Mr. Cale.”

“What?”

“I’ll be leaving tomorrow.”

“I know. I’m the one who told you to.”

Choi Han locked eyes with Cale, who stood restlessly at the base of the mountain. Cale had said that Choi Han was capable of guarding him alone. Staring at the count’s son, Choi Han was reminded of something he’d thought about constantly these last few days—the ability to protect. That ability had completely occupied his mind.

“I’ve been debating for a while whether to broach this subject before I left,” he said to Cale, “but I need to tell you something.”

The dragon wasn’t what Choi Han had actually wanted to report the day before. He hesitated for a moment, then faced Cale and spoke, gazing past his shoulder toward a tree near the foot of the mountain.

“Mr. Ron is dangerous.”

For a moment, Cale was bewildered by this comment, which had come out of nowhere. Should he admit to knowing or pretend not to?

Unexpected as it was, Cale quickly made his mind up and said in a measured tone, “Is that so?”

“You aren’t surprised? There’s a fearsome stench of blood coming off him. He’s a strong fighter who has shed a lot of blood. At first, I thought you knew already and just allowed Mr. Ron to attend you regardless.”

Choi Han assumed that if Cale had known, he would’ve brought Ron to rescue the dragon.
