On the way to Rain City, the main city of the Henituse Territory, Cale couldn't help but feel grumpy, due to Hans, there was a whole gang of the Count's knights guarding the carriage, his plan to enter the territory without attracting attention was a complete failure.

The moment they go through the main gate into the central city, the sight made Cale pale, there were a crowd of people waiting for his arrival, just like the previous time the news of the terror Plaza incident spread like fire, but unlike, there were many more people waiting for him this time, perhaps because he was actively involved in suppressing the attackers.

"How annoying, how did they forget that I am trash so quickly?"

- Human those people seem very happy that we arrived.

- That's right, nya.

- They are even throwing us flowers, nya

- Just ignore them.

Then Cale heard something that froze his back.

- Look here, Young Master Divine Shield!

"Uh? Divine? Wasn't it silver? Not that I like silver either, but isn't the word divine a little... exaggerated? "

Cale had a bad feeling and to further spoil his mood Vice-Captain Hilsman approached the carriage in high spirits with the new nickname.

- Young master, how great! Exceptional people have exceptional nicknames.

Cale gave Hilsman a disgusted look and closed the carriage window on his face.

Upon arriving at the Henituse mansion, he received a warm welcome from his entire family who examined him from top to bottom examining his condition. After an exchange of words with everyone and assuring them almost with an oath that he was recovered, he asked for a talk alone with his father.

- My son, did you rest well as you promised? I heard you suddenly disappeared.

- I just went to get some alcohol for myself at dawn.

Deruth decided that it was best not to ask more about it, the important thing was that Cale was fine.

- So, what do you want to talk to me about?

- Father I want you to rebuild Harris Villa and give a proper procedure to what happened there.

Knowing that it was due to the Harris Villa incident that Cale was severely beaten by that black-haired man, Deruth couldn't help but be amazed. However, he did not refute, nor did he inquire about it.

- Okay, I'll tell Hans to take help you with that.

- I guess you already know.

- You mean that mysterious premonitory power.

Deruth had heard it from Hans, even from the crown prince when he was in the capital, he trusted his son and his actions proved the truth of that fact, even so, it was still hard to believe. Above all, he wondered why Cale? it seemed a more troublesome power than beneficial, so he did not like that it was his son who had it.

- Father, we must begin to prepare ourselves for war.

Those words made Deruth look at Cale in shock. There was no hint of doubt in his expression, so Deruth had no choice but to believe him as he swallowed hard to clear his throat and try to speak normally.

- I see ... How much time do we have?

- One year, but it may be more or it may be less. So, please strengthen the wall and strengthen the cavalry.

-... I understand... there is something else you want to tell me.

- Hmmm... I think I need some money.

After finishing his talk with his father and receiving a large check, Cale walks to the city to find his next ally. In the elegant tea shop, a smile spreads across Cale's face as he approaches Billos.

- Billos, the bastard son of the Flynn family, you don't think it's time to turn things around a bit in your favor, if so, I hope you are interested in a business partner.

Billos who had just arrived from the capital and had heard all the rumors of this person in front of him. Was exalted by the first words he said to him, but when he finished speaking a greedy smile showed on his face.

- Young master-nim, I will be happy to hear that business you want to talk about.

Finally, in his busy schedule for the day, Cale goes to his room and takes out a communication device from his belongings, "courtesy" of the crown prince, and prepares to use it with the help of the dragon. But before that.

- Dragon.

- Yes, human.

- I think we'll need a name for you introduce yourself by.

- uh? That means that you already ...

The little dragon's wings began to flutter and his big eyes looked up at him with undoubted excitement and anticipation.

- Your name, maybe it's not the first time I've called you with it.

- It's not the first time?

- Your name will be Raon... Raon Miru.

Raon has a vague memory of hearing that word before the day he met Cale. In the cave, when the desperate man called him imagining the worst. He definitely likes the way it sounds and he likes it better when he's spoken by Cale, his intonation makes him feel warm.

- I want you to know that, in this world, those words only exist for you, Raon. They are words that express my greatest wish for you... your happiness.

Happiness, it was such a foreign word to the little dragon until just a few days ago, but then this mysterious man arrived and for the first time let him experience the true joy of being alive, if there was a word in the world that means happiness for the dragon it would be this person's name, Cale, but now his own name too, it almost felt like having the same name as the person he treasures so much.

The grateful dragon approached Cale who was sitting on his sofa, settled next to him resting his head on his lap and closed his eyes to avoid crying. Cale, used to it, placed his hand delicately on her scaly head and caressed it kindly.

- Sounds like a good name so I'm going to use it.

A comfortable place to sleep, delicious food, a family, freedom and now a great name; the lists of things that Raon received from Cale just stretched out.
