"What-"He spoke out loud surprised by the situation before looking at who was on top of him.

«Obviously, is the protagonist...» He cursed his non-existent luck again.

He found himself on the ground from the impact, Ron quickly helped him up before checking if he was okay... and he started to bleed from the nose... which was not surprising given the strength of Choi han against his weak body.

"Young master, you are bleeding!" Ron looked worried, he didn't even care about Choi han he just pushed him away from Cale and helped his young master to get up.

He quickly made him tilt his head forward with a tissue under his nose to stop the bleeding.

"Are you feeling well, young master?"

"Of course, it's just a nosebleed." Cale replied without caring.

Ron frowned at that. "Young master with your illness, I don't think it's good."

He remained silent at Ron's words, it was true but he wasn't used to worrying about so little...

"Young master we must return to the county, the blood doesn't seem to stop."

Cale didn't argue, Ron held him by the arm now for fear that he would faint again even though he thought it was exaggerating he said nothing and let the butler do it.

But before leaving Ron looked at Choi Han, he seemed clearly hostile. "Don't think I've forgotten you, come with us."

Ron was sure that Choi han was a foreigner and seemed to have climbed over the wall without permission. There was that smell on him too, so he couldn't let him go. He had to report it to the Count too, but the most important thing was to treat his young master immediately.

Choi han obediently followed them to the county watching them both the butler seemed strong as to the very weak redhead, so weak that he needed help to walk after a simple nosebleed.

Arriving at the county Ron left Choi han with the guards to watch over him while he took his young master back to his room while calling the doctor.

Once he saw that the redhead had been taken care of, he went to join Choi Han again to "chat" with him. Of course, they ended up fighting

When Deruth heard about the whole story, he was worried about his son at first and angry that a stranger hurt him.

"Cale, are you okay? I'm going to punish this guy, how dare he break into our territory and hurt you?!"

"Father, I'm fine and he didn't do it on purpose, it's not his fault."

Deruth did not agree with him, he was still a stranger in their territory but since his son defends him he will let it go. He still asked the doctor for confirmation.

"Yes, he is fine, but he has to stay in bed even, if the bleeding was not significant, for his condition, it is quite worrying."

"*sigh* Fine, I will." Cale finally gave in.

As he drifted off to sleep, the Count left to attend to their guest in his office. He was seated opposite Choi Han, with only the desk separating them.

Choi han told him his story, the count was attentive to this, he also promised to help him but pointing out that it is because of his son that he is not yet outside their territory.

Choi Han obviously thanked him by asking if he could do anything for Cale in return.

The Count thought about what he could do by asking him if he was good at anything.

"I'm very good with a sword."

"I'll ask my knights to check this out and if it's conclusive, I can appoint you as his personal guard. I'd like someone to watch over him with his illness, it would be safer. Especially if other people intend to harm him..." Deruth glowered at him.

"I'm sorry, it really was a mistake, I didn't mean to hurt him." Choi han lowered his head in shame.

"I know, my son told me, just don't let it happen again."

Choi han nodded, the Count was satisfied and let him go.

With that, he asked the knights for an assessment. A few hours later, the Count offered him a room and a change of clothes, as he was still in a bad state. Once he had passed the assessment, which was obviously conclusive, he was hired as a personal guard.

He was waiting for Cale the next day in front of his door, surprising the young master as he was about to leave, he came across a smiling Choi han.

"What are you doing here?"

"I was hired to be your guard Cale-nim!"

"Cale-nim?" He was still shocked and confused, Ron rang at that moment.

"It's the earl's decision, young master." Ron was also reluctant to have Choi Han present, but he couldn't go against his master's decision.

Cale can only accept, even if his plans will be complicated with him now. He already knew how to get rid of Ron but not Choi han.

"Ron, go get me this list from Billos's."

He was a little curious after receiving the letter as to what it might contain but as a butler, he was not allowed to open it, so he immediately left.
