THE FREAKING BASTARD WAS STUTTERING!

Everyone who knew the cold-blooded commander with this slightly out of character attitude right now would faint. Thank the heavens that bastard Clopeh is not here! Who knows what kind of shitty legend he'll conjure with that crazy brain of his?

Eruhaben couldn't take it anymore and wanted to smack the useless unlucky bastard's head.

Where's the gore?! The smirk?! That smile that even enemies would fall on their knees begging!? What's up with this puppy shit that worse than Choi Han and the Pitiful Saint!?

Eruhaben growled dangerously while keeping his temper in check.

"This is annoying," Ron said in a low voice. The coldness of his voice made Lock and Maes flinched. "the heck happened with my son of a bitch master? He's not bitching at all."

Duke Fredo who came at notice shook his head in frustration. "Was he a coward? So pathetic."

The communication device rang, and Eruhaben connected it to the crown prince, "What?"

Alver flinched at the Dragon's disinterested tone, "Have you found her?"

"You should do your paperwork, you damn elf." Eruhaben cursed and shuts off the communication device.

The four granddaddies right at the moment decided to convene and left the things about Cale to the children to keep him from messing up even more.

Going back to Cale and Athy.

"where are you going, Mister." The blond hair girl asked.

"taking the children to the *while turning around to see where the children are but his back is currently empty... On and Hong was nowhere too.*... I guess... from going out with children... I went to be alone."

Athy's laughter filled Cale's ears. It was soothing if he forgot about the annual ring's power.

"Why are you alone?" He asked.

"I am looking around... Rowoon is a lively place."

It sure is. After the war, he and Alver worked hard together to build this up without interference from the nobles.

"so you know how to smile."

Cale's expression stiffens once again. He glanced down at Athy smiling widely at him. "you should smile more... it's better than you scowling..."

Cale wanted to go back home after feeling his stomach churn. It was like thousands of butterflies fluttering in his stomach coupled with his uncontrollable beating heart. He was about to leave but Athy took hold of his hand and said, "if you're alone! Come with me and look around!"

The peals of laughter and the warmness on his hand calmed him to the point it was relaxing. He glanced down at the intertwined hands and felt that kind of ease he had never felt before. He glances at the back of the small figure happily pulling him everywhere when he should be complaining and wanting to idle around. Such a brazen woman, she even dared hold hands with a stranger like him. But Cale couldn't help but think, this feels like – normal?

He was used to money. Used to high-end things, but the small trinkets being placed on his head felt even more luxurious and precious.

Cale didn't know what possessed him but he placed a red bangle on her wrist and looked at it seriously before saying, "beautiful."

Athy was stunned at the soft expression the usual stoic face had. But she ditched the last straw and pulled him to a food stall.

"Mister... let's try that!" Athy pulled him to some skewers and gave him one stick.
