Four days later it was the scheduled date of departure and the twins were eating breakfast with the entire Henituse family. The past four days Cale was somehow able to get Kim to at least do a morning walk everyday for basic exercise. While both of them had been feeling the steady increase in divine energy, as a result both of their plates had begun to strengthen though nowhere near as strong as Choi Han's both of their plates had definitely at least become a more durable glass with Cale's being quite a bit stronger than Kim's. But Kim's plate was still the size of a fly while Cale's had grown to at least the size of an actual plate. Their five senses had also greatly heightened but Cale couldn't help but notice Kim's senses seemed to be abnormally high even before the growth of their senses. Kim had quickly figured out how to control these senses thus able to help Cale with his so they wouldn't be subjected to a sensory overload at all times. Although the most practical gain was they were both able to at least sense mana now despite not being able to utilize it.

Deruth: "I guess you're both leaving today. It doesn't look like you are nervous."

Cale glanced at Kim after hearing his absurd thoughts about how he was glad Cale didn't get beat up by Choi Han like in the original timeline or how he'd be able to survive even if he were to do something wrong to someone like Ron or Beacrox. Cale still had trouble understanding the absurd thought process of his twin brother despite already suspecting the reason for his overly cautious attitude.

Kim: "Oh, Father. It looks like the number of people in the envoy has grown again. I have asked you to reduce the number."

Deruth: "Ah, about that..."

Violan: "That was my decision."

Violan was an upright woman who cared a lot about the family and its image. She had finally come to accept her as a mother after she sacrificed her life to protect him in the original timeline, though he did feel awful that it took her sacrifice for him to accept her. At least in this life he could accept her now.

Violan: "There are many people who believe appearances reveal everything about a person."

Violan was always this type of person as someone who grew up from a poor baron's family she apparently dreamt of becoming the head of a merchant guild. She was influenced by luxury items being sold to nobles and came to the Henituse territory where she fell in love with the art of sculpting. Eventually, she met Count Deruth and fell in love, and now lives as the director for the territory's cultural business operations. She always had a lot of pride in herself and her life as well as pride for this family.

Cale+Kim: 'Which is why she prepared a large envoy.' Cale looked at Kim knowing very well the reason to which Kim didn't want a larger envoy.

Cale: 'The baby dragon that ended up going berserk to escape its imprisonment with their life as the cost. Although I had heard rumors in the previous timeline after Kim had told me the details I had to support him fully in his plan. Though according to him he hadn't yet decided whether to save the dragon or not I could tell that he would. Though according to him it was to avoid more people dying in case he didn't make it in time. Most people namely Choi Han would think he was hiding his feelings and hoping to save people I could tell that definitely wasn't his main reason after all he seemed to be the type of person to care about his people the most so avoiding losses prevents him from reliving his choices due to record' Cale decided to respond to Violan.

Cale: "Art is the mirror of the soul."

Violan: "I see you know that expression."

Cale: "Yes that's right. Sculpting is creating something you see with one's eyes, but made by instilling one's emotions is what was written on the plaque in the gallery."
