"Incredible, I didn't sense you at all..."

Clopeh was surprised to see the Black Knight and took a step back.

Choi han didn't answer the White Knight and simply looked at him with cold eyes.

Everyone could sense the heavy aura of the two knights in the room, especially Cale that was still.

'Am I hallucinating or do I see a weird spark between them?...This isn't good'

Cale thought the situation was getting complicated.

He couldn't let Choi han fight Clopeh in the Crown Prince's room...the news would surely be heard by everyone and it would be hard to clear the rumors at that point.

Cale instinctively looked at Alberu, so as Alberu. The two brothers looked at each other intently and made up their minds...or rather Cale decided it was time to have fun and fool someone.

'Trash Mode Active'

"Cale nimm"

"My legend!"

Cale started sobbing and losing drops from his nose, his cheeks turned red and he was looking at Clopeh with accusatory eyes.

Instead everyone else were paralysed and rushed to Cale.

They didn't know why Cale was crying and they were starting to worry, only Alberu was quiet.

'This stupid-'

"Human I have an apple pie!"

"The legend is crying...wait for me to take the video recorder!"

"Don't you dare!"

"It's not you property you know?"

"ENOUGH!"

Everyone stopped.

They could see the Crown Prince breathing heavily as he tried to stand up.

Alberu was the type to hide his emotions, but now he was too angry and tired to think about his image.

This series of events that he hadn't been able to avoid, were driving him nuts.

Besides, this was his room.

"Everyone get out of here!"

"Hyung...me too?"

Alberu turned and stared at Cale, who was looking at him with his eyes, still full of tears, but the Prince avoided his gaze and pointed to the door.

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

'He is really tired...'

Everyone understood the situation and went out the door, instead Choi han headed for the window with Cale in one hand and Raon in the other one.

Alberu frowned as he looked at them.

'Why don't they use the door?!'

Alberu sighed deeply before throwing himself on his bed.

Needless to say, he fell asleep immediately.

***

Choi han looked as if he was running across a flat plain, even as he jumped across roofs with Cale on his arms.

"Can you carry me on your back?"

"...."

Choi han frowned.

He noticed that Cale as a child, weighed as much as the usual weight of the twenty years old Cale Henituse.

For him it was like moving with a broom on his arms, but the fact that his weight was getting less and less...made him frown even more.

"Cale nim!"

"Yes?"

Cale gasped at Choi han's angry tone, he had never seen him like that.

'Why is he so upset?'

As Cale tried to understand why Choi han was angry, Raon shoved another piece of apple pie towards him and started to speak.

"Human you are pale as always! Are you okay?"

"Cale nim don't faint!"

'What the hell are they saying?!'

Cale's face turned puzzled.

He didn't like being looked with those eyes, he didn't want to be looked with pity.

Cale...no Kim Rok Soo was an orphan and didn't have anything to his name, that was why a lot of people showed him a lot of sympathy.

But now was different...he was different.

So Cale came down from Choi han's arms and jumped onto the rafter of the roof.

But unfortunately he lost his balance and started to fall.

"Human!"

'Dammit I need to use the wind...'

Cale moved his hands forward, to gather the air around him and cushion the fall, but something was wrong.

His ancient powers didn't listen to him, and he was just a few meters above the ground, Cale couldn't not help but close his eyes.

'This will hurt'

WHEEZE

Cale didn't have time to open his eyes to see that he had been saved by Choi han, but he could feel the warmth of the person holding him.

"Choi-"

Cale started to grumble.

He was really afraid to know why Choi han's eyes were so desperate as they looked at him, so he tried to grab his clothes and call him again.

"Choi han!"

"Cale nim stop hurt yourself!"

SOB

Choi han was really frustrated, he couldn't understand why his best friend had to suffer so much.

The Black Knight tried to hold his sobs, that he was constantly producing.

Then he held his breath and reached Cale, and soon he brought the redhead into a tight hug.

Instead Cale froze and began to feel embarrassed, but his face was filling with tears too.

'It is my fault...'

Cale could no longer bear that face of Choi han, so he grabbed his clothes once more and called him.

He wanted to console him, but Raon putted an apple pie in Choi han's mouth.

"You don't have to feel bad for my Human, he is stupid! But don't worry I will protect him! He will never get hurt again!"

Choi han looked at the little dragon and smiled hardly.

Instead Cale felt betrayed.

'Me?! Stupid?'

Cale wanted to say something, but after seeing Choi han smile, he decided it was fine. The redhead had made up his mind, he didn't want to see his friend cry again.

He would make sure he didn't get hurt.

"I will not get hurt!"

"....."

Everyone was silent.

Cale realised he had said it out loud and lowered his head, but Choi han hugged him even tighter.

Cale was so cute that Choi han couldn't help himself.

***

"How did I ended up like this this?"

Cale was staring at his image in the mirror, he still couldn't believe it.

He knew he should have burned that book from the beginning, but he couldn't find it anymore so he had nothing to do.

"Are you thinking to spend all the day looking at yourself in the mirror?"

Cale turned his head, he could see Eruhaben drinking his lemon tea.

The redhead could feel the dragon's eyes on him, so he clicked his tongue and looked down for trying to avoid his gaze.

But as Cale looked down, he could saw three pairs of eyes, two golden and one bright blue eyes staring at him.

"Let's play nya"

"Play nya"

'No I don't want to...'

This was what Cale wanted to say, but he couldn't... the bright eyes of the children were too bright, and he didn't want to make them cry.

So he nodded to them.

"What do you want to play?"

"Hide and seek!"

'What?'

Cale hated "Hide and Seek", as it consumed a lot of energy.

Besides...it had been over 30 years since he had played that game, and he was no longer a child, well, he is, but it was still uncomfortable.

'I am a grown up man dammit...'

Eruhaben noticed the frown on Cale's face and started to giggle.

He knew that Cale cared a lot to the three children, which is why as much as he could hate the game, he would play it anyway.

"Cale you will be a great father"

"What!? I don't want to be a father!"

"But you are..."

"What I am not!"

Raon, On and Hong started to look at Cale with a disappointed face, but Cale didn't notice their gaze and pointed to the golden dragon.

Eruhaben could see Cale slowly starting to smile.

The redhead had made up his mind...

'Let's play'

"You will come to look for us Eruhaben!"

"What?!"

Cale continued to speak with a smile on his face, while Eruhaben was feeling odd but focused on what Cale was saying.

Although he had lived a long time, he didn't know the game, so he gave an embarrassed smile.

"I never played this game..."

"What?!"

"Grampa Goldie you never played when you were young?!"

"So sad nya"

Eruhaben begin to feel uncomfortable.

He didn't like the children looking at him like that, especially the small redhead that was staring at him with an expression that seemed to say 'This Unlucky dragon...'

Raon approached him at that moment.

"Goldie you know, you are not alone anymore!"

"Ahhh"

Eruhaben made deep sighed, as Raon and the two kittens started to shook their heads and made eye contact with Cale.

So Cale walked over to the dragon and began to smile.

"I will teach you Eruhaben"

"Yes we will nya!"

"We will nya!"

Eruhaben had never seen Cale smiling so brightly before. However, he felt an odd sense of iffiness. It was at that moment that Raon suddenly shouted.

"Human are you going to scam Grampa Goldie?"

"The smile of a scammer nya"

Cale stiffed for the children's statement, before his face puffed and his lips form into a pout. That made Eruhaben stopped and stared at Cale with shock in his eyes.

"Maybe I should stop smile..."

Eruhaben couldn't help but feel prickly all of sudden. Looking at Cale's reddish-brown eyes that starting to get misty, a sudden strong wave of guilt slammed on his chest.

Raon and the two kittens were surprised too.

"You have a wonderful smile Young Master, you don't need to worry"

Cale blinked a few times, before recognising the person who had just entered in his room with a trolley full of cakes ; emitting sweets aromas that made Cale's stomach grumble.

"Ron..."

The scary old man was back.
