The child of a god

24

But behind that satisfaction, Cale suddenly felt chills on the back of his neck. It was because Ron drank the lemon tea without any complaints.

Despite everything, Cale was still a little scared of the assassin.
He remembered the conversion of the previous night.

"you can also stop pretending to care"

Ron had a shocked face

Had he been too hard on the boy he now thought he never cared?

The butler didn't want that. He distanced himself from the young man because he worried that afterwards if he had to leave for his revenge he would not be able to do it because he did not want to abandon his puppy, if he then went away he would be devastated.

"I have always cared about you Young masters even if I don't show it, you are like a second son to me and a brother to Beacox"

He said with a genuine smile

Cale was smiling at the old man

‘I can’t live as a trash forever.’

That was what Ron was thinking about as he drank the lemon tea. But it looked like he was glaring at Choi Han. Cale was watching that scene with satisfaction.

Ron and Choi Han’s relationship in ‘The Birth of a Hero’ was just like this. They were always at each other’s throats, but still continued to travel together. They were tied together by a contract, but they both knew they could also rely on one another.

Cale thought that a lot of things got twisted because of his actions to not get beaten up, but it looked like their relationship was forming in a similar manner.

“Sweet teas are really the best.”

Ron flinched at the words that Cale happily said.

The tea time for these three individuals ended in the middle of the downpour.

“I guess the next time I will see you will be at the capital.”

Cale shook his head toward Billos, who greeted Cale as he came down from the third floor after tea time.

“I will be coming here everyday for a while.”
“Is that so? To read the book?”
“Whatever I feel like doing.”
“Please feel free to visit whenever you would like. This tea shop is open to you at all times young master.”

Billos was watching Cale, who walked by while pretending not to hear what he said, with curiosity. Ron was just quietly observing them from behind.

The bastard son of the Flynn Merchant Guild. The fact that he was extremely talented made the official children resent him. That was why Billos had to come to this remote, yet profitable region in the Henituse territory.

He couldn’t even use the family name of, ‘Flynn,’ either.

Ron was observing Cale being friendly with this greedy Billos and clicked his tongue. It was because he thought to himself'Why is my puppy young master so close to that bastard?'

Cale returned to his chamber immediately after returning to the estate, only to find the two baby kittens staring up at him.

“Ah, I forgot about the two of you.”

He should have brought Choi Han, who cherishes small animals. Choi Han had returned to his own room after saying that his heart needed to become stronger to be someone who protects.
