-Third Person POV-
-Location: The Capital-

Taylor and Cage both nodded their heads and held each other’s hand with the pendant in the middle of both of their hands. The magic device started to operate. Cale let out a sigh and grabbed a bottle from the corner of the carriage. He already told Eve what she need to do once they arrive at the gate last night.

A moment later, the carriage stopped outside the noble’s gate, and Cale could hear the Vice Captain’s voice as well as someone else’s voice.

Knock knock knock.

“Young Master, the capital’s guard wishes to verify the occupants.”

Bang.

Cale’s foot kicked the carriage door open. He could see the Vice Captain’s relaxed expression, as well as the anxious capital guard. Cale had a bottle in one hand and a glass full of alcohol in the other and looked toward the capital guard.

“Go ahead.”

The inside of the carriage was full of the smell of alcohol. Cale’s extremely flushed face and this stench made it very clear that he had been drinking since last night. They could also see a child reading a book near the window.

Although the festival was still a week away, many nobles had already passed through this entrance. Two of the capital guards looked inside the carriage every time to make sure the child is the only occupant. The Vice-Captain smiled gently at the guard and started to speak.

“Our young master cures his hangovers through drinking more alcohol. He is someone who has reached the apex of overcoming a hangover.”

Cale looked at the anxious guard that was about to ask about the child and the Vice-Captain who was trying to praise him as best as possible and started to think.

‘Ah, this is tiring.’

That was why he said the following.

“Can’t you hurry up?”

The guard called over the other guard to look through the carriage, which was full of empty alcohol bottles, the child sitting near the window and approved.

“Everything looks fine.”

The Vice-Captain slowly closed the door while the guard welcomed Cale.

“Welcome to the capital.”

Creek. Click.

The door closed completely and the carriage made its way through the gate.

Cale pushed forward the full glass in his hand and started to speak.

“Welcome to the capital.”

Taylor, who was no longer invisible, started to laugh as he handed Cale the pendant and received the glass.

“It has been a while since I’ve been welcomed.”

Cale’s group had arrived at the capital.

Cale’s carriage leisurely headed to the south of the capital. Huss, the capital of the Roan Kingdom. People were busy getting ready for the upcoming birthday celebration.
