(A/N - I'm gonna skip some parts)

-Third Person POV-
-Location: Puzzle City-

After easily passing through Puzzle City's gate, the Henituse family's Golden Turtle carriage followed the lead of deputy butler Hans to the inn.

"It is smaller than Western City."

"Right. Small."

"Is there a difference?"

Cale nodded at On and Hong's words and looked outside the carriage. He holds Eve hand to assure her that the carriage is safe. She seems to be scared of riding the carriage for the first time.

'It won't follow me into the city, right?'

According to Choi Han, the Black Dragon would follow them from a far distance, before coming by in the early morning to drop the food off and then running away. Eve also said the same thing. The dragon doesn't seem to hate Eve. Maybe because both of them went through the same thing. She said that she talk to the dragon but it left in a rush after that.

"Isn't it cute? The dragon seems like a little kid that hasn't lost its innocence, even after living such a terrible life."

'...Not really.'

That was what Cale was thinking as Choi Han spoke to him with amusement. If Choi Han had seen the dragon blow a mountain away, he would not be saying things like, 'Cute,' to describe it. At least he can call Eve cute but not that dragon.

Cale didn't know why the dragon was doing this, even though it said that it hated humans. It was overwhelming for Cale. This was not the way he was expecting things to go.

Since it was still young, Cale thought the dragon would stay away from the Marquis's territory and create its lair to develop its strength. Cale was hoping that, after growing stronger, that the dragon would destroy the Marquis's estate before the war broke out in the continent.

That would help keep the Henituse territory peaceful for a longer period.

"Tsk."

Cale clicked his tongue, and the kittens, who were excitedly looking out the window, flinched before approaching him. Eve kept staring outside the window. It seemed like they had seen something odd outside, and had come to ask.

"Each house has a rock tower in front of it."

"Very very weird."

"How are they still standing?"

Cale just casually answered.

"This is the city of rock towers."

Puzzle City was famous for the ancient ruins with a lot of rock towers, but it was also famous for the fact that each house had small rock towers in front of them.

The people in this city made a small groove outside of their windows to put a small rock tower on top of it. It really shouldn't be called a rock tower, because it was made with less than ten rocks, but the rock towers were formed in different shapes based on the personality of homeowners.
