Cale, known to his close companions as "Cutie," engaged in a conversation with his trusted associates, addressing rumors of betrayal by Alberu and Choi Han.

"–Cale, just wanna know, did Alberu and Choi Han betray you?" questioned the Thief.

"I don't think so, Thief. I believe they didn't have a choice, considering two dragons and a highly skilled assassin led the imprisonment project," Cale responded.

Unbeknownst to his companions, Cale's inner thoughts revealed a deep understanding of Alberu and Choi Han's predicament. Their loyalty was evident through the façade of betrayal, a truth known only to Cale.

"So, that's why we're currently here at the old Harris village?" inquired another companion.

"Yeah, we need to get Choi Han. He's one of the first people who're loyal to me," Cale confirmed.

Concerns arose about sneaking out without alerting the old Assassin butler. However, Cale revealed a contingency plan involving an essence that would induce sleep in anyone who smelled it.

"And that is?" one of the companions asked.

"Papa will have to act like a kidnapper, abducting a noble child for ransom. Then, Choi Han, the clueless swordsman, will find the base where he was passing by and heroically save the noble child," Cale explained.

The companions were taken aback by Cale's bold plan, summoning the Water Spirit King for such a seemingly trivial task.

"You just gave his memory like that!" one exclaimed because every time Cale finds the need to use his abilities from the Water spirit he needs to sacrifice one specific memory.

"It was really easy, to be honest," Cale casually remarked, prompting skepticism about the gods and their influence on such matters.

In a comedic twist, the scene unfolded as Cale comforted a sobbing and whining Choi Han.

(" c-cale-nim a-am s-sorry!! " sobbing puppy noises

" I-I had no choice! they will separate you from me! I don't want that! " sobbing puppy noises intensify
"I know- I know just stop crying  sigh  and for the love of death
Will you stop rubbing your snot against my shoulder!!")
