They reach the entrance of the cave somewhere around midnight. As soon as they got close to the entrance they were 2 people guarding the cave.

They immediately become alerted and point their spears at Cale and the kids. Cale lifted his hood a bit which was drenched from the rain.

"I apologize for interrupting you, but may we rest for the night here?" Before the guards could say anything, a tan woman came out of the cave.

"What's going on?" "Your maj-" But they stop when the woman held up her hand. They immediately fix their words.

"My lady, there were just some intruders." The woman look at the said intruders. "Sorry to interrupt you my lady. But may we have a place to rest of the night? It was currently raining.

And we didn't have a place to rest for the night. My kids and I are soaked so I was wondering if we could share this cave for the night."

The woman looked at the men and 2 kittens who wear soaked. Her heart clench at the sight. "Of course." "Thank you my lady. My name is Cale and.  These are On and Hong."

Cale introduce everyone in his group. "Nice to meet you. My name is Lina." "Then I'll be disturbing you for the night, miss Lina." Or should I say your majesty Queen Litana.

Cale knew from the beginning that the person in front of him is the person he has been looking for. Her features fit the description. A Queen who has the heart of gold. 

The rain just helped them with the plan, he could have asked Raon to put a barrier to protect themselves from the rain but how could he earn an extra point from the kind Queen, who is weak to the weak?

Of course, he'll have to be pitiful. Cale thanked Litana and sat down in one corner of the cafe. They took off their cloak and Litana could finally see a pale face adorned with red silky locks.

His lips were pale and blue, probably from the cold and the rain. The only word to describe this man in front of her was that he was 'beautiful'.

The kittens were cute too. From the look of the situation, Litana could tell the man is not ordinary.

He emit the aura of a leader from his clothes to his demeanor.  Everything smell noble. One can tell that he is a noble from the looks of it and the kittens are well groom too.

But what why would a noble and his kitten be in a place like this? Could they also be looking for the dragon? Cale took out a towel from his bag and started drying off the kittens. 

"There there. I'm sorry OK." He was talking very softly while drying off On and Hong. Both the kittens were getting weird out. Even Raon was weird out.

-Human, why are you talking like that?

Cale ignore the little dragon just as he avoided the kittens question gaze, but he was glad that they were at least playing along.

"It's raining right now, but let's get out of here in the morning. Okay?" Litana overhead the conversation. She didn't want to shatter their hope, but she also didn't want them to cling on to a false hope.

"Mr. Cale?" Cale look up at her. "Yes?" He tilted his head. Litana heart ache as she saw the child-like demeanor and an innocent face.

This person must not only be a nobel but also a pampered nobel. "I'm sorry to say this but there's no way getting out of the forest. We, ourselves have been stuck here for almost a week."

"What?" Cale just let out of 'what' with a shock face. Litana felt her heartbis being squeezed, as well as the people inside the cave apart from Cale’s group.
