The next day, Cale was ready to head to the grave. Naturally, he had to get rid of the humans, the zombie and the kittens who wanted to follow him. Thankfully, everybody stopped voicing their complaints once he said only a single person was going to come with him.

“I will only be taking Choi Han with me.”

Choi Han was the strongest person there. With Choi Han tagging along, both the Vice Captain and Hans had nothing to say. Eve wanted to go too but she's worried that she'll be a nuisance to Cale.

The Vice-Captain just frowned and said he needed to train the knights before he quickly started to gather them. While Cale was watching the knights who were following behind the Vice Captain with looks of despair on their faces, Hans just said one more thing before disappearing.

“I will take care of Eve and our kitten-nims.”

Cale turned away from Hans, who seemed to be very excited about being with the kittens and Eve, headed out of the inn. Choi Han followed behind him. As they left, Choi Han could see Eve waving her hand from the balcony.

After Cale left, Hans has brought in some tea and snack for Eve and the kitten. He said that he have some duty to attend. The kitten is playing chase around the room while Eve only watch.

“Eve, let's play together!"

“Together!"

Eve can't say no to that. She also wants to play with them caused it looks fun but she just doesn't have the courage. She slowly got off the couch and walk toward the kitten.

“What are you playing?"

“We're gonna be playing hide and seek!"

“Mhm!"

She tilts her head, wondering what kind of game is that.  Nonetheless, she nods her head. On saw her confusion, decide to explain what the game is, the rule and what they need to do. From the little information, she understood the way the game work. Hong chose Eve to be the seeker.

“Just count to ten and remember no peeking!"

“Yeah, no peeking!"

Eve nodded and cover her eyes as she sat down on the couch counting to ten.

“1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10"

After she finishes counting, she looks around the room trying to see signs of the kittens. She started walking around the inn, checking every corner they can fit themselves in. She found Hong in the kitchen with some jerky in his mouth. Then, she found On in the other bedroom, hiding under the bed in the dark corner.

She doesn't why. Why does she feel happy whenever she found the kitten? Is this what they called happiness? Even she doesn't know...

After a tiring game of hiding and seek, Hans walk in with cold milk for the kittens and Eve. It was a tiring day for them. Eve had fallen asleep after drinking her milk. Hans had to carry her to the bed cause he doesn't want her to hurt her neck.

That night, Cale told the kittens to deliver a message. It was a letter that was created with magic, which made it impossible to determine the handwriting of the writer.

“Make sure they don’t see you.”

The letter was the new hope for the priestess Cage and the Marquis’s eldest son, Taylor.
