"Excuse me." Dokja tapped the shoulder of a passerby.
The passerby turned, looking at him with a confused face, "is something the matter?" They asked.
"Nothing much, just a question." Dokja smiled. "Do you perhaps know about Cale Henituse?"
"Young master silver shield? Who in the county hasn't heard of him?! He's a legend who saved countless lives during the grand plaza incident!"
"Yes, yes, he is." Dokja agreed despite not knowing what that person was talking about. "I was thinking of giving him a gift as admiration, but I have no idea what to give him. Do you know what he likes and dislikes?"
Yoo Joonghyuk seemed less intimidating at that moment.
"What he likes and doesn't?" The person seemed to be conflicted. "Well.. he used to like drinking but he doesn't do that much anymore. Actually, he barely comes outside the count's estate nowadays."
"I see.. it was a difficult question... it's alright, thank you for your help." Dokja said.
"Wait!" The person said a bit loudly. "If there is something he likes, it would probably be money."
"Money...?" Dokja didn't expect that answer, he was a bit taken aback.
"Yes, money. After the plaza incident, the emperor, or the crown prince during that time, asked what he wanted as a reward, for saving many aristocrats' lives during that incident, and he responded with "money" without hesitation." They smiled. "He must really love money if so." They started chuckling, finding it amusing.
"Al-alright, thank you." Dokja nervously left. 'I didn't expect that. Maybe my first option was the answer.'
'Should I bribe him with money?'
'He did seem happy whenever he received large sums of coins back then.. is he still the same now...? I should ask another person to make sure.' Dokja walked up to a strangely-looking guy in a very bright while robe. "Excuse me?"
"Hello?" The guy turned around, looking at them. The guy wore bright emerald eyes and had long white hair.
"Umm.." Dokja didn't know why but that guy gave him the chills. "Do you about Cale Henituse?" He asked, unbeknownst to what's ahead.
"Cale Henituse? You're talking about my legend?!" The guy's eyes lit up with sparkles. "He's a hero who even the gods cannot fathom with! A living legend!" The guy started rambling on and on and on without a stop.
'What's the deal with this guy.' Dokja was weirded out. Now he knew why he got chills.
Clang!
The sound of swords clashing together.
"What are you doing, Joonghyuk?!" Dokja panicked, why did he just draw his sword at that guy?! "Are you okay, mister?!" He asked.
Thankfully, and unfortunately for Cale, the guy also unsheathed his sword at the right time.
"Should I take this as treason to Cale's honorable name?" The guy glared at Joonghyuk.
"Who are you to be talking in the name of Cale? Do you even know the person you're talking about?" Joonghyuk did not care, since he knew better than anyone else that it wasn't the case.
"Ha! You dare question me?!"
The man was about to slash his sword again at Joonghyuk when he was stopped by patrolling guards,
"Stop right there!" A group of patrollers came rushing at them. "You can't cause a commotion in public, that will result in a fine!"
"Tch, you're lucky this time." The guy withdrew his sword and walked away.
