The child of a god

32

Choi Han wanted to apologize, he wanted to beg cale to talk to him to look at him but it was all useless he was too cowardly.

Then courage comes at the thought of a life without the boy, of failing to protect him.

"Cale-nim"

The twenty-year-old spoke hesitantly He knelt down and spoke

"I beg you, forgive me, I was foolish to think I don't trust you, you are my savior and I would do anything for you"

The old assassin was getting angry listening to the conversation from beyond the door. He didn't want anyone to touch what was his.

Then the voices of the two continued. In the room, a Choi Han could be seen kneeling in front of a Cale Henituse sitting on the bed.

"So you're telling me you swear you'll never leave me?"

The boy asked almost pleadingly. He didn't want to lose anyone else even though the dark hair man trusted him now he could always abandon him later when it had no more use for him.

"I swear"

Just then Ron couldn't take it anymore and interrupted the two by knocking on the door.

"young master can I enter ?"

Choi Han quickly stood up and walked away from the boy knowing the butler was very protective of her.

Cale just casually nodded toward Choi Han and picked up the glass of cold water that Ron had prepared for him. Cale recalled what Ron had said earlier.

'Young master, it is not good to take such a long night walk. This Ron was very worried about you.'

Cale knew Ron was just worried but he couldn't believe that anyone would actually care for him.

Cale carefully put the water back down and started to speak to Choi Han.

"You took care of everything properly?"
"Yes, Cale-nim."

After Choi Han had brought Cale back to the inn, he immediately went back to erase their tracks and create a new set of fake tracks heading toward the west.

Meeeeeow. Cale looked toward the kittens that were eating jerky and yawning, and started to explain to Choi Han about the city that they would soon reach.

"The name of the next city is Puzzle City. That is the middle point in our journey."

Once you get out of the Henituse territory that is surrounded by mountains, all the roads are well-paved from this small city in the Viscount's territory to the capital.

'That's the reason that the Henituse territory has been safe until now, even if it is a bit annoying for the merchants.'

Even if you have a lot of goods to sell, it would be difficult for merchants to travel to buy those goods if the roads were rough. However, the merchants pushed through this inconvenience because the roads were paved as soon as they left the Henituse territory.

Furthermore, these paved roads allowed for the influential powers in the eastern half of the Roan Kingdom to gather frequently. That was why people in the capital were able to discuss many of the issues in the east, even though there were no nobles with a higher nobility than the rank of Marquis in the east.

"It took a while to get this far because our territory has a lot of mountains, but it will not take very long from here."

Puzzle City was not the middle point in terms of distance, but in terms of time.

"But Cale-nim."
"What?"
"I went to check the Viscount's villa on my way back."
"And?"

Looking at Cale's stoic expression, Choi Han had a slightly bitter expression as he responded.
