Precious [Trash of the Count Family x Child!OC]

*24*

-Third Person POV-
-Location: The Capital Henituse Territory-

Choi Han looked toward the cold food and answered.

“Yes. I am curious.”

He did not even need to say what he was curious about.

Who they were.

Why they were doing such terrible things.

And why Cale knew about them.

Choi Han was curious about all of those things. Cale observed Choi Han’s pupils, that were looking down at the cold food on the table, and started to think.

‘This punk is really angry right now.’

The anger was not directed toward Cale. Choi Han was sharpening his anger toward the secret organization over and over again, like a sharp blade. Harris Village, the tortured dragon, the experimented Eve and the incident with the Blue Wolf Tribe. Choi Han’s personally was one where he would clash with them instead of avoiding them.

Cale picked up a cold, but still delicious bread, and ripped off a piece to put into his mouth.

“I plan on telling you two things.”

“...But not everything?”

“Correct.”

Cale did not care that Choi Han was staring at him. He stood up and put Eve, who had fallen asleep on the bed. He could still feel her trembling a little. He might ask On and Hong to watch over her.

“Stand up.”

“...Are we going somewhere?”

Cale checked his watch after watching Choi Han get up after him. It was long past evening and heading toward night. That place was one to shine even brighter as the night got deeper.

Cale walked toward the door and responded to Choi Han’s question.

“The Temple of the God of Death.”

Cale was planning on going with Choi Han to the brightest place at night, the Temple of the God of Death.

Cale had asked On and Hong to watch over Eve while he's out. Even the dragon said he'll watch over her.

The three creatures could be seen eating the cold food on the table when they hear screaming coming from behind them. They turn around and saw that Eve had woken up. They instantly ran/flew to the bed and comfort her. They can see her body tremble and how sweaty she is. Trying to comfort her, they hug her and talk to her about many different things, trying to get her mind away from the nightmare.

Soon, Hans and Ron had come bursting through the door asking what happen. The dragon had gone invisible while still hugging her while the kitten got down from the bed to try and pull the butler to Eve. Hans's heart sank after seeing Eve condition while Ron still had that benign smile even though it look a little more vicious. Ron walked over to Eve and immediately carried her. He sat down on the bed and comfort her.

They could see Eve opening her eyes a little and looking at them for a moment before burying her face into Ron's shoulder. No tears come out but they could see her trembling getting worse. Ron thought of a way to calm her down. That's when Hans blurt out his thought.

“Maybe a walk in the garden?"

Ron looked at Hans for a while before getting up and walking to the garden with the kittens following behind him. He could see Eve lifting her head when she felt the cold night breeze. She looks at all the different kinds of flowers around her in amazement. The kitten and the invisible dragon all breathe a sigh of relief.

Once they got back to their residence, there was another individual Cale found difficult to handle.

“Young master.”

“Ron.”

The assassin Ron, who had a benign smile on his face, came to look for Cale, who was trying to rest in his chamber.

He could see an asleep Eve laying her head on Ron's shoulder after their walk in the garden.

“What happens?"

Ron only smile and lay her down on Cale bed.
