There were sounds of cutlery clinking on the dining table. The sun was shining brightly and there was a cool breeze blowing. It was a rather beautiful morning.

The same could not be said for Cale. He does not have the feeling of hunger but he certainly does miss Beacrox's cooking.

Rok Soo ate his morning steak with refined etiquette, occasionally wiping the children's face and mouth. On, who is usually not a messy eater, had some sauce around her mouth too.

Mila had already took her son home with her as they still have to tend to their farm. Of course, not forgetting to drag Rasheel with them to avoid interrupting their meal.

Eruhaben sat across the table facing directly at Rok Soo. Ron stood on Rok Soo's right side while helping the children cut their steaks.

Rok Soo did explained some parts of his life but never too much. He did not want these strangers to know what kind of achievements he had done in both his life as Cale and Rok Soo.

"Weird human!"

Raon paused as he called Rok Soo. Raon felt guilty for leaving his human behind for apple pies but the seven-year-old wanted his family to know the truth.

"Weird human, you didn't tell us how you swap bodies with my human."

Rok Soo took another bite and patted Raon's head. Well technically he did mention what happen to the Henituse County and also both Eastern and Western Continent, the people on the table aren't really that shocked of his statement.

'I know they know something but I can't be sure.'

Rok Soo tend to brush of details just like Cale. He did talk about how the heroes battled with the secret organisation named Arm, however never mentioning how he lived his life as a fallen noble.

"I had no choice but to enter the army as a soldier. I was assigned to the front lines but I was never strong to begin with. I blacked out halfway and when I opened my eyes again, I was buried in a pile of dead bodies. Then I saw Choi Han."

Rok Soo took his napkin and wiped off his mouth. He remain seated as he felt some dragon fear.

"I saw the white shit chocking Choi Han."

This cause Raon dropped his steak. The children blinked innocently with open mouths.

"That white shit!"

"Let's fxxk the white shit nya!"

"That bastard dares harm Choi Han nya!"

Rok Soo realized his mistake...

'Aigoo... Who taught them that?!'

Cale could only sigh while avoiding the adults gaze. He did control his wordings around the children most of the time so he was confused as to who did the children learned it from.

((Meanwhile in a certain office of a certain palace...

"Achoo!"

"Oh dear it seems that my student has caught Rok Soo's cold."

"It's not a cold, my nose is just itchy."

"Yea yea, now go rest."

"Not yet instructor-nim. Or would you like to help me review those shit the nobles sent me yesterday?"

"... No thank you, your majesty."))

"Ahem, as I have said, the white thing noticed me and tried to kill me too. But before I die, the God of Death proposed a deal to me."

"A deal?"

Eruhaben sat up straight as he frown. The Gods always make one-sided deals that only benefits themselves. Usually there will be no exception.

"Yes, a deal to regress. However I have to exchange bodies with a person named Kim Rok Soo. I was reluctant at first because well, basically I get to turn back time but I won't be able to stop the white thing as I will not be here and most importantly I would be snatching a body of an innocent man."

Seeing that they had switched their bodies, what comes next is very obvious. The original Cale Henituse was not given a choice anyway.

"At that moment, the God of Death told me that my mother, Drew Thames has reincarnated in the same world with Kim Rok Soo. And so I signed the deal."

Eruhaben could not believed what he heard. The original Cale Henituse signed a deal with a God just because of his own greed. Then what about the original Kim Rok Soo? What did he exchanged with to be here with them?

The children looked at Cale, as if asking him what kind of deal did he had with the God of Death. Eruhaben can only shake his head in pity.

"Well, I just fell asleep while reading a book. The end."

Cale's indifferent voice echo through the dining room. He did panic a little when he first became the trash of the count's family but he enjoyed his situation more. Handsome, young and rich. Plus, nobody wants to be near a trash so he can do whatever he wants.

Aside from the white star, everything is good.

"You- Ha..... YOU!"

When they say do not provoke a dragon, they meant by do not, ever.

"Cale Henituse, you are a victim of their deal and yet you felt no anger? You feel asleep, and that's how you came here? That's all?"

"Well it's not like I have much to begin with so I guess that's fine?"

Cale shrugged his shoulder and pouted. He really did not want them to know more and he definitely can't tell them he was supposed to die instead of Choi Jung Soo. 

'I don't want to clean up the mess that will happen. They won't know if I keep my mouth shut anyway.'

Eruhaben could not press him further for the details but he still kept his eyes to the redhead in front of him. He could not be angry for long either as he knew if there was no deal, many people would die.

"Oh actually, the God of Death did told me an additional information."

Rok Soo scratched his head while his lips twitched. He then looked at Cale's direction.

'Why do I have a bad feeling about this?'

 Cale can't help but shudder at the thought.

"He told me the Kim Rok Soo over there was destined to die."

'.....YOU SON OF A!!!!!'

Cale looked at Rok Soo. He really wanted to choke someone now...

After that conversation, Rok Soo was not allowed to step out of his bed while listening to the children cussing a certain God.
