Truth Shall Set You Free

Chapter 15

"You're right Mary, young master Cale has a very kind heart," Tasha agreed with Mary's assessment of Cale.

"What are you talking about? How was anything just written up there showing me as a kind person?" Cale asked.

"Haaa....it's saying you rushed everyone so you could go save a child as quickly as possible. How is that not kind?" Eruhaben explained patiently.

"But he's a child....I mean, unless you are a complete fucking waste of the air you breathe, who would harm a child or let them suffer? Children shouldn't ever have to go through that. Just because you draw the line at harming a child or letting one suffer, doesn't make you kind. You could do that and still be a complete bastard," Cale reasoned.

Complete and utter silence filled the room after Cale's words.

In a way, he was right, but the fact that he truly didn't see himself as kind at all, was very sad to most there.

At Cale's words, Choi Han couldn't help but to think of that sad, lonely, skinny, and unloved little boy from the Indignity Test and clench his fits in anger.

'Never again. Never again will Cale-nim or any member of my family have to survive through something like that.'

Chapter 15: Heading Out (2)

In order to achieve the results he wanted, Cale had to choose to camp outside. There were no villages along the way until the village near the hidden cave of the Black Dragon.

Meeeeeow.

The red Cat Tribe kitten Hong meowed and wagged his tail, as if he was excited. It was because of the delicious smell filling the area.

'The joy of the day comes from eating a delicious dinner.'

"Of course human. We can't skip any meals," Raon said with a serious face.

"You are a very smart dragon," Cale praised.

That was what Cale was thinking. A warm dinner was the signal to end the long and tiring day, and start a relaxing night.
Tonight's main course was a soup with rabbit meat.

"Damn it."

"Hahaha, that's so perfect," Archie laughed.

It was not Ron's doing. Cale turned his gaze to the side. Choi Han, the person who had caught the rabbits, was happily eating his soup.

"It's almost like they planned it together," Bud added.

Meeeeow.

Tap. Tap. On and Hong were tapping on his leg, asking him to give it to them if he didn't want it. Hans had a wide smile on his face as he cautiously approached the two children.

"Would our precious kitten-nims like to eat the jerky that I prepared for you? It is very healthy, without any salt or preservatives."

Naturally, On and Hong ignored Hans. Hans, who did not know they were part of the Cat Tribe, found that sass to be cute as well and continued to linger around them.

"Those snacks aren't as tasty as Beacrox's cooking," On explained.

"Yeah, Beacrox's cookin is the best," Hong added.

Beacrox smiled smugly at Hans.

Contrary to the fact that they had their first battle, it was a very relaxed and peaceful environment. However, the atmosphere around the knights seemed to be a bit odd. They kept peeking toward Choi Han, who was eating his soup next to Cale. The Vice Captain seemed to be full of agony.
