Play with memories

Chapter 9

They then continued the visit, the golden dragon had stopped asking Choi han for information about Cale. He just had to be patient, he'll find out without doubt later.

The sword master walked quietly, showing him the entire exterior of the villa but without venturing into the forest of darkness, they will do so later if Cale asks. His main concern right now was Gashan's words. They have to find something to bring this unknown god out of his hiding place and beat him to force him to return his memory to Cale or else he will be forced to talk to them, that's the last thing he wanted to do. He must seek advice from the crown prince.

As the day began to fall, they decided to return to the villa. Choi han and Cale along with Raon returned to Cale's room. The ancient dragon and Ron wanted to join them but they were repelled by the swordsman and a small dragon. Choi Han asked him to keep them away and if he could call Alberu, Raon did as he was asked. A familiar face quickly appeared on the orb.

"Hello your highness, have you heard what happened with Cale?"

"Yes, I was warned. Do you have new information?" Alberu looked exhausted as he asked. Obviously as soon as problems with Cale arose, he was informed of them but how can Cale have so many problems without leaving his house?! It's a real mystery to him.

"It seems to be the work of a god, he wants to reveal Cale-nim's secret."

Alberu sighed and rubbed his face with both hands, he had to calm down before speaking again. He must think rationally and calmly, being angry will not solve anything.

" What are his motives ?"

"Having fun is his only goal..." Choi han clenched his fists as he said it.

"Those damn gods!" Alberu looked as angry as him, Choi han simply nodded in agreement with these words.

"How's Cale?" 

The swordsman turned the orb to show Cale who was pretending to be asleep. Of course, Choi Han knew it and so did the children, but they didn't say anything. They knew very well that he couldn't let his guard down with so many strangers around him, they would definitely do the same.

"He is doing well but he is suspicious and does not understand his current situation. At worst he thinks we kidnapped him and at best he thinks we're all crazy."

"Do you think you should talk to them about... Cale?" 

"I don't think so, it's not up to us to do it."

Of course Alberu agreed with that but if they waited too long to do something everyone would end up getting suspicious and finding out the truth one way or another. Maybe it would be better this way.

Rok Soo who actually pretended to sleep ended up involuntarily relaxing in the presence of the children with him and really falling asleep but he ended up having nightmares. He dreamed of his uncle, of the years of mistreatment he suffered. He still felt the pain and fear of his times with him. He was taken out of this horror as someone shook his body, the contact woke him up.

While he was talking with his highness, the children came to see him. For him to come help him, Cale seemed to be having a nightmare. He woke him up immediately but the redhead moved away from his touch in fear.

"Calm down, I'm not going to hurt you. You had a bad dream."

Rok Soo had to try to concentrate on the situation to remember who was in front of him, he looked around to see who was present with him. He was able to see faces he already knew but a new unknown face could be seen in some sort of communication object.

" What is this ?" He asked looking at the orb. Everyone in the room widened their eyes when they heard him speak.

"Hello dongsaong!" Alberu greeted him with a bright smile on his face.

Rok Soo didn't answer but he frowned.

"You don't even greet me, I'm sad you know!" 

"Who is this guy?" He asked, looking at Choi Han.

"How can you speak this language?" Choi han ignored him and asked another question instead.

" Eh ?"

"You speak the language of this world. Haven't you noticed?"

" No ?"

"Another blow from the gods..." He could hear Alberu whispering behind him. It was a possible explanation or rather the only logic. What else does this god have in store for them?
