Cale got on the carriage and started to speak once the carriage started to move. "For your reference, that crazy mage, that person is the leader of the incident that will happen at the capital."

"......Am I allowed to kill them if I see them?"

"Why are you asking me such an obvious question? Do as you want."

However, that crazy mage was a highest level mage and a teleportation specialist, so Choi Han was never able to do as he wished in the novel.

"Yes. I will make sure to kill them."

Cale turned away from the angry face of Choi Han. It was too vicious for Cale to handle, he was getting much better, but that expression still reminded Cale of the time the anger was directed at him.

Once they got back to their residence, Cale finally see Ron with his benign smile on his face. "Young master."

"Ron."

Ron came to look for Cale, who was trying to rest in his chamber.

Cale blankly stared at the tea cup that Ron was offering him. "...Lemon tea before bed? Are you angry about anything?"

"Of course not, young master."

(A/N: well you said you'll explain. Lol you forgot about it and end up going out with Choi Han again.)

Cale was not used to drinking lemon tea before bed. But he felt Ron's gaze on him as he took a sip of the lemon tea.

"Young master, may I request two day off?"

"Huh?" Cale was surprised. "Okay. Sure."

Cale was a bit hesitated. "Can I ask why?"

Ron smiled. "I wanted to go investigate something. I'll be sure to come back to serve you when you head to the royal palace."

"Oh. Don't worry about me. Right." Cale got up from his seat and opened the dresser next to the bed. He gave a money pouch to Ron.

"Take this. Be careful if you're going to investigate them."

Ron looked between the money pouch and the worried Cale. He couldn't help teasing his young master again. "Young master, this is too much money. What will you do if I take this and run away?"

Cale hummed. "Will you actually leave? However, I know that if you really wanted to leave, you would just go without saying anything."

He knew, of course he knew, he had experienced it before, Ron left without a word.

"... You are right. That is indeed correct. Young master knows me well."

"Ron, you know you could tell me if you need help. Don't hide things just because you don't want me to be worried or that you don't want me to worry you." Cale laughed a little at his own words. "What I wanted to say is that, I might know more about them then you do, so don't get into danger when you could just ask me about it."

"That's all, you can go do what you need to do." Cale didn't looked at Ron, and just laid down on the bed.

"Then I will head out now." Ron's gaze lingering on Cale's back for a while, before turning to leave. Ron couldn't help thinking that the back of his young master looked lonely.

'Just this once. I trusted young master, but since he couldn't tell about his information source, I want to confirm it myself.'

*************************************

By the time Cale woke up around lunch time the next day, Ron had already left early in the morning on his break. Thanks to that, deputy butler Hans became responsible for serving Cale.

"Mr. Ron said he wasn't comfortable unless it was me. Haha, I guess I am kind of amazing?"

"Can you just be quiet?" Cale ignored Hans and looked outside the open chamber door.

Choi Han had been standing outside the door since early this morning. Cale was staring at Choi Han while wondering what was going on.

Choi Han answered without even needing to be asked. "Mr. Ron asked me to protect you."

"Oh. That's so him." Cale had a serious expression on his face as he received a cup from Hans. He then started to frown. "Hans. Why did you bring me lemonade?"

"Excuse me? Young master, don't you like lemonade?"

Sigh. Cale let out a deep sigh and drank the lemonade. It was better than cold water to wake him up and settle his stomach. He thought he could escape lemon for two days.

Choi Han watched Hans and Cale from outside the chamber door as he recalled his conversation with Ron the night before.

"You're going somewhere?"

"Yes."

"Did you come to talk to me for Cale-nim?" Choi Han knew Ron wouldn't answer even if he asked about where he was going, so he changed the question.

"You figure it out. Protect him well."

That was what Ron said before leaving early this morning. Choi Han saw the assassin Ron instead of the servant Ron when Ron walked out of the residence.

"Choi Han." Choi Han snapped out of it as Cale called out to him. Cale had gotten up from the bed and was heading to the bathroom. Cale asked Choi Han, who was looking at him. "Is Lock awake?'

"Yes sir."

'The Wolf Tribe really did have fast regenerative abilities.' Cale looked at the time. The piggy bank Billos, the bastard son of the Flynn Merchant Guild's leader, would soon arrive at the capital.

Cale had promise to drink with him, and had already decided where they would meet. It was the same inn he had told Choi Han to stay in once he got to the capital. That inn also had a bar, which was famous for its alcohol.

Cale thought about the merchant who would be with the 10 wolf children right now and asked. "What about the children and the merchant at the inn?"

"I was thinking you could stop by on your way back from the meeting."

"...Meeting?"

Hans approached the confused Cale and started to speak. "Young master, the invitation from the Northeastern nobles."

"Ah." Cale had forgotten about that because of many other important things in his head.

He started to frown a bit as he debated what to do. Should I still act a trash in front of them at the meeting?

Cale, in this timeline, shouldn't have met them for a few years. But for Cale that lived for two lifetimes, it had been decades since they actually met.

"And the guest wishes to speak with you as well."

"Are you talking about Miss Rosalyn?"

"Yes. She said any time will work based on your schedule."

'Rosalyn is a smart girl. She probably already suspects that the feeling of mana from yesterday is from a Dragon.

She has probably never seen a Dragon before, but such powerful mana could not come from anything other than a Dragon.'

Cale opened the door to the bathroom and gave an order to Hans as he went in. "I will eat breakfast in my room, so get it ready. After that, ask Miss Rosalyn if she would like to have breakfast together."

"Yes, young master. I understand. However, it is the middle of the day, so it would be lunch."

"...Hans."

"I will get it ready right away!"

Cale glared at Hans, who vigorously answered, and gave one last command before closing the bathroom door. "Ah, and leave the terrace door open."

'The Black Dragon needs to be able to come in.'

It was very odd that he said he could only sleep well if it slept outside on a tree by the window.

Cale had wanted to hug him to sleep one of these days. But he couldn't force the Dragon if it made him uncomfortable.

*************************************

"Then I will go bring Rosalyn-nim over now."

"Okay." Cale sat on a chair by the food, that was breakfast for some and lunch for others and sent Hans out.

Beacrox seemed to have put in quite the effort, as the food on the table looked fabulous. The table was full of food, probably because he asked for it all at once instead of in courses.

"Cale-nim." Choi Han approached him. "I will go stay with Lock while you are eating."

"I guess the two of you are taking turns nursing him."

Choi Han started to smile in embarrassment at Cale's proclamation. Although Lock was quickly recovering, he was still laying on the bed with Rosalyn and Choi Han taking turns nursing him. Of course, Rosalyn was doing majority of the nursing.

"On and Hong are helping to take care of him as well."

"You seem to misunderstood them."

Choi Han could only remain silent at Cale's words. On and Hong were staying in Lock's room. But this was what the two kittens told Cale in secret before heading over.

"I think we are too weak to kill a Wolf Tribe. We will probably lose, even if we enter berserk mode. We need to figure out a way to squash people like him."

"Right, we need to figure out a way. That is why we will go study a bit."

On and Hong were not there to nurse Lock but to determine how to kill such enemies in the future.

"But Lock still seems relaxed having two cute kittens with him."

"...I guess that's great." Cale had no desire to tell Choi Han and Lock the truth.

Choi Han inspected the area to verify that the Black Dragon was not in the room before quietly speaking. "I did not tell Lock or Rosalyn that I brought them with me because you told me to do so."

"Good job."

"I told you I would keep it a secret." Choi Han was showing a reliable side to Cale.

Maybe it was because of yesterday's vow, but Choi Han did not know how devious words could be. He didn't know how words could be used to favor one party more than the other.

The God of Death would only follow Cale's words and his interpretation of it because he was the one to put his life on the line.

'That is why nobles spent at least a week preparing what to say when they are going to make a Vow of Death. They usually average at least ten pages of texts to say.'

Cale thought about how Choi Han, who seemed to greatly trusted him now, would fight the secret organization in the future. "Choi Han, did you say you were going to kill that blood drinking mage if you saw them again?"

"Yes."

Cale nodded his head at the answer that came without any hesitation, and continued to speak. "I will tell you how to find that person."

Choi Han's gaze started to change.

But Cale was not done just yet. "Of course, we have to prevent the terror incident first."

Choi Han's expression seemed tranquil immediately after hearing Cale's words.

'Yes, we need to prioritize saving people.'

There was a knock on the door followed by Hans's voice. "Young master, I have brought Rosalyn-nim."

Cale nodded at Choi Han and got up from the chair. Choi Han silently got up as well and opened the door. Hans and Rosalyn entered through the open door.

Hans did not enter any farther than the door frame, and calmly added on to what he stated previously. "Young master, Rosalyn-nim, please let me know if you need anything."

Hans then bowed and stepped out of the room. Choi Han followed behind him.

"Rosalyn, I will be with Lock."

"Okay."'

Once the two of them left, only Rosalyn and Cale were left in the room.

Rosalyn looked to be calm, yet cold. "Thank you for the invitation, young master Cale."

"It was nothing, Miss Rosalyn." Cale pointed to the chair across from him and started to speak. "There are a lot of things we need to discuss."

"Young master, I guess you don't like to beat around the bush?" Rosalyn started to smile as she asked.

Cale looked toward the open terrace window and started to speak. "Come on in to eat breakfast."

In that instant, Rosalyn quickly turned around. She could see some leaves floating into the room. She could not help but tremble.

However, she was able to logically think things through last night. She had thought about it all night while nursing Lock. Three-layered magic and the ability to do such a thing. There was really just one answer.

She moved her gaze from the leaves floating their way and looked toward Cale and asked. "Dragon. Is it a Dragon-nim?"

Mages really did respect Dragons. Her demeanor clearly showed that was the case.

Cale started to smirk, as he started to speak toward the floating leaves. "You should introduce yourself."

In that instant, the leaves that were floating on top of the table, or over the steaks if you want to be really specific, turned into a Black Dragon. He had removed his invisibility magic.

"Mm." Rosalyn could not even gasp, as she was completely shocked.

Even though she knew it was going to be a Dragon, it still was shocking. There were less than 20 dragons in existence in both the Western and Eastern continents combined, but such an existence was in front of her right now.

They were known for never leaving their territory and lair, and enjoying life as the most amazing existence in the world. Furthermore, Dragons were the king of both mana and nature.

They were also an existence that preferred solitude. Although it was confirmed that there were 20 Dragons in the world, they were all different colors and varied drastically in personality, habits, and traits.

The Magic Tower found this to be quite interesting. Why were they different in color and personality, even after growing up under their parents?

There was only one explanation they could fathom. 'Dragons are prideful creatures that want to be different from any other.'

They want to be unique while they are alive. That was the case, even amongst their own group of Dragons. Such an existence was in front of Rosalyn's eyes right now.

It was a young Dragon, but the mana she could feel and the unique gaze of a Dragon told her it really was just like any other Dragon.

The Black Dragon quietly observed Rosalyn for a bit before turning its head away. Rosalyn did not know what to say about the Dragon's action.

After doing that, the Dragon moved in front of the steak and started to speak. "I am hungry."

"...Go ahead, you can eat it." Cale shook his head as he answered, and also offered Rosalyn a seat. "We should eat as well."

"Ah ... yes." Rosalyn had a blank expression on her face as she sat down.

She could see the young Black Dragon eating the steak in front of her, while Cale, who was dressed fancier than usual because he needed to attend the Northeastern Nobles meeting, was elegantly eating a soup.

Nobody at the Magic Tower would believe her if she told them about this. However, Rosalyn believed in what she was seeing in front of her eyes, as well as the rest of her five senses. Everything in nature could be felt by the five senses.

"...It is so amazing that a mage like myself can see such a sight. A Dragon is with a human." Rosalyn believed in the sight in front of her and revealed her honest observation.

Cale did not care to respond, but the Black Dragon stopped eating the steak to look at Rosalyn. He then turned his head to look at Cale.

It was the face of a reptile, but its expression was clearly visible. The Black Dragon started to frown while looking at Cale, who was still eating his soup, and started to speak. "Very weak. He is no better than an ant. That is the reason."

"Indeed I am. Dragon-nim had to stay and protect the weak me." Cale humored his youngest child.

Seeing both Cale and the Dragon agreed with each other, Rosalyn who watched this with curiosity, eventually nodding her head.

"A meal with young master Cale and Dragon-nim. It is an honor." Rosalyn was calm as she elegantly lifted up her fork.

Cale observed her expression, as he continued to eat his soup. 'She really is a courageous person.'

Any other mage would be shaking non-stop and praising the Dragon right now. They would then ask the Dragon to teach them even a little bit about mana or magic.

A Dragon's magic was something that would make any mage on the continent go crazy.

Cale started to speak to Rosalyn, who was starting off with a salad. "Please feel free to stay here as long as you like."

"Young master Cale."

"Yes?"

"I have three things I am curious about. But one of them has already been resolved, so I have two more. May I ask about them?"

"Please do." The first was probably about the Dragon. Cale had decided to reveal the dragon's existence to Rosalyn after contemplating it for a long time.

He felt like it would be more beneficial to him that way. He felt like he could anticipate the other two questions as well.

"Here is the second thing I am curious about." Rosalyn asked her question calmly and sincerely. "Is it okay to allow someone who was not invited to stay in your residence like this? Even if I am a mage, as a noble, you must be sensitive about associating with strangers."

Cale easily answered that question. "It is fine because you are someone Choi Han brought. I trust him."

Cale peeked at the Black Dragon, that was eating the steak, before looking back toward Rosalyn and continuing to speak smilingly. "Beside, I am currently under Dragon-nim's protection."

The Black Dragon did not respond to that statement. However, he flicked his wing once before stuffing his face into the steak plate and starting to devour the steak even faster than before.

Cale chuckled as he helped the Dragon wiped his mouth full of sauce. "Slow down. Don't choke."

Rosalyn watched the two of them for a long time, before her red pupils moved back to Cale, who was starting to eat a salmon steak.

"... I see. Then here is my third question."

Cale stopped eating the salmon steak and looked up at Rosalyn. Their eyes met, and Cale could see her red pupils.

Originally, Rosalyn changed her pupils from red to black with magic when they entered the capital. She did the same thing with her hair color. However, that was not the case right now.

Rosalyn asked her question. "Why do you speak so respectfully to me, despite your status as a noble?"

Cale lifted up the wine glass next to the salmon steak and took a sip of the white wine. He then started to speak. "Red hair, red pupils, and a mage. Then there is your self-revealed name of Rosalyn."

It was weird to pretend not to know when someone was being so clear about it.

Cale started to smile as he asked. "Princess-nim, aren't you the one who should stop speaking so respectfully to me?"

Rosalyn started to smile. "I heard you were trash, but I guess that was a lie."

The Dragon paused his eating a bit, before continued as he listened to the conversation.

Rosalyn stopped with the respectful tone almost immediately, as Cale had expected. Although the majority of the people may not know what the princess of another kingdom may look like, it was different for nobles.

Low-level nobles may have found it difficult to gather information, but at the Count level, like the Henituse family, having information about the neighboring kingdoms' nobles and royalty was basic knowledge. It was not just fun and games to be a noble.

Cale responded to Rosalyn's statement. "It is true that I am famous for being trash. However, a mage should make their judgments based on their five senses."

"You are right, young master Cale. We only believe the things we experience ourselves."

Cale thought Rosalyn's way of speaking was quite odd. She was speaking informally to him as a princess, but when she was referring to herself as part of the society of mages by using the term, 'we', she spoke formally. Her identity as a mage seemed to be very important to her.

"But princess-nim."

"Rosalyn." She really didn't seem to like being treated like a princess.

"Okay then. Miss Rosalyn, are you done with your questions?"

"Yes. I am finished." She smiled as she answered. "Young master Cale, it seems like you do not want to be involved with me?"

Even though he knew she was a princess, he just told her to enjoy her stay and then leave. It wasn't that she found that to be disrespectful or anything.
