Dragon {1}
[Chapter 18: Saw A Dragon (1)
[]
“I’ve seen something similar once.”]
All the Dragons perked up at that.
“Ah! More about dragons! ”Tboah Rosalyn’s eyes sparkled with excitement. Dragons were the best teachers for a mage, after all.
Tcf Pendrick’s expression brightened instantly, practically glowing at the mere mention of dragons. “Truly noble beings… I would love to learn more about their wisdom.”
“Are you talking about the dragon in the Forest of Darkness?” Tnoah Choi Han asked cautiously, his hand already moving toward his sword out of habit.
Tcf Choi Han nodded. “I was. Back then, I didn’t know what a real dragon was. All I had was knowledge from novels, myths, and legends.”
Tboah Eruhaben snorted in amusement. “Hah. Humans’ books are full of nonsense.”
Tcf Choi Han chuckled softly. “I know better now.”
Raon puffed up his chest. “Of course you do! I am the great and mighty Raon Miru! The most knowledgeable and strongest dragon in the entire world!”
Tcf Choi Han’s smile softened. “Yes, you are. And you taught me more than any book ever could.”
Raon beamed proudly, his wings fluttering with joy. “Hehe! You’re welcome, human!”
Tcf Witira tilted her head curiously. “Then… what did you think dragons were before meeting Raon?”
Tcf Choi Han paused for a moment before shaking his head with a small smile. “It doesn’t matter what I thought back then. What matters is that I know now — dragons are more than just powerful beings from stories. They’re family.”
Raon’s eyes widened, his tail wagging furiously. “Family!”
All the dragons present exchanged knowing glances, their gazes softening.
“…Well said,” Tcf Eruhaben muttered, his golden eyes shimmering.
“Indeed,” Tcf Sheritt added quietly. “More than stories, more than legends… family.”
The room fell into a warm, peaceful silence.
Because, for all the battles fought and burdens carried, one truth remained.
They weren’t just talking about dragons.
They were talking about home.
[‘Similar, my ass.’
Cale knew what Choi Han was talking about when he said something similar.
[]
“You did? How was it?”
[]
“...It was a monster.”]
Those who knew about dragons frowned.
“He certainly doesn’t know what dragons are,” they all thought.
-Choi Han! I’m not a monster! I’m great and mighty!
A certain dragon telepathically huffed at Tcf Choi Han, clearly offended by the comparison.
Tcf Choi Han glanced toward Tcf Cale’s direction, where the little dragon was sitting, and nodded apologetically.
“I apologize, Raon-nim.”
Raon puffed up his chest. Hmph! At least you know your mistake
Meanwhile, Tcf Cale leaned back slightly, his gaze fixed on the screen in front of them. His fingers tapped lightly on the table as he fell into thought.
“…Isn’t this the time we talk about the black dragon?” he murmured to himself, recalling a significant moment from their past.
Raon perked up at that, his wings fluttering excitedly. “Me! We’re talking about me again! I am the most important!”
Tcf Eruhaben chuckled from the side. “You’re always important, Raon.”
Raon beamed proudly. “Of course! I’m the great Raon Miru!”
[“How so?”
“Its appearance, its strength, everything. It was a monster in all aspects.”
“Is that so?”
Cale nodded his head and continued to speak. But his actions and his words were completely opposite.
“Then you have not seen a dragon.”
“Excuse me?”
“Dragons are like people.”]
“That’s an interesting way to describe us,” Tboah Eruhaben chimed in, tilting his head thoughtfully. The Dragons exchanged curious glances.
“Does this human… know more about dragons than we thought?”
As they pondered that possibility, Tcf Choi Han’s eyes suddenly widened in realization.
“Ah! That’s the time Cale-nim asked me for a favor,” he said loudly, recalling the moment.
Everyone turned to look at Tcf Cale.
Tcf Cale sighed, rubbing his temples. “Yes. We had that conversation… though it wasn’t about a dragon lair.” He glanced at Choi Han with a tired expression.
Tcf Choi Han’s face darkened as he corrected himself, his voice quieter now.
“There was no lair… There was a cave. A dragon was being tortured there.”
The room fell into silence.
Tcf Sheritt “A dragon… was tortured?” Her voice trembled with both anger and sadness.
Tcf Cale nodded solemnly. “That’s how we met Raon. He was trapped, hurt, and alone in that cave.”
Tcf Eruhaben’s expression turned cold, golden eyes gleaming with barely concealed rage. “Humans. Always trying to enslave what they don’t understand.”
Tcf Sheritt’s gaze softened as she looked at Raon. “But he’s free now. And loved.”
Raon straightened up, his eyes fierce. “Yes! I’m free! I’m the great and mighty Raon Miru, and I’m never going back to that dark place!”
Tcf Cale gave a small, approving nod. “Exactly.”
At that, everyone focused back on reading.
But there was a shared, silent agreement in the room:
No dragon would ever be hurt like that again. Not as long as they were here to protect them.
[Clack. Cale put the cup with the lemonade that was both sweet and sour down on the table. He then responded to Choi Han, who was looking at him with curiosity.
“Dragons, Beast people, Dwarves, Elves, they are all like humans. Why? Because they also have emotions and lives.”]
The different races felt warm at how Tcf Cale viewed them — no prejudice, no fear of differences, just quiet acceptance. Especially a certain dark elf who was hiding behind blonde hair, blue eyes, and pale skin.
Tboah Alberu glanced at the screen with a thoughtful expression.
“I’ve spent my life hiding my dark elf side,” he mused silently, “because humans have always feared and misunderstood us. But this human… this Cale Henituse… understands without judgment.”
A small, rare smile appeared on his lips.
“If someone like him exists, maybe…” Tboah Alberu’s gaze softened. “Maybe humans and dark elves can truly coexist.”
Meanwhile, Tcf Alberu’s sharp eyes were locked onto Tcf Cale.
“Ah,” he murmured to himself, crossing his arms. “So, this is why I fell for you.”
Tcf Cale glanced over, raising a brow at his partner’s words. “What are you mumbling about?”
Tcf Alberu smirked, tilting his head. “You make things sound so simple, Cale.”
Tboah Eruhaben chuckled from the side. “I suppose that is true. You’ve always had a straightforward way of thinking.”
Tboah Tasha, standing nearby, watched with interest. “You really don’t see the need to treat anyone differently because of race, do you?”
Tcf Cale shook his head. “Why would I? Race is just… a part of who someone is. It’s their actions that matter, not their appearance.”
Tboah Tasha smiled gently. “You’re completely right.”
Tcf Alberu’s gaze lingered on Tcf Cale, his eyes warm. “It’s one of the things I love about you.”
Tcf Cale blinked in surprise, a light blush creeping onto his cheeks. “Don’t just say things like that out of nowhere.”
“Why not? ”Tcf Alberu teased, a playful grin spreading across his face.
Raon tilted his head. “Why is human turning red? Did I miss something important?”
On and Hong snickered from the side. “It’s because Alberu-nim is teasing him again.”
At that, everyone smiled not just at the playful banter, but at the simple truth behind Cale’s words.
Treating others based on their actions, not their race or appearance…
It was so simple.
And yet, it could change the world.
[[]
“However.”
Choi Han might have noticed Cale’s sudden change in demeanor. He sat up straight and focused on what Cale had to say.
“Such an existence has fallen into darkness since it was born. The only thing currently lighting up the darkness in its life is torches, and it has never even seen the light of the sun. What kind of life do you think it is having?”]
They frowned. A dragon consumed by hatred and despair. Such a fate would bring destruction—to the dragon and all those around them.
Raon clung tightly to Tcf Cale, pressing their small bodies against him as if afraid that the darkness they were hearing about might come for them next.
Tcf Cale’s arms wrapped around them without hesitation, offering the warmth they sought.
His siblings quickly joined the embrace, On and Hong curling into the pile for comfort. Raon’s tail curled protectively around them all, his small wings trembling slightly.
Tcf Sheritt watched the scene from afar, her gaze filled with sorrow and longing.
She wanted nothing more than to hold her children, to reassure them that they were safe, that she was here.
But now wasn’t the right time.
Raon needed the solid, steady presence of the one who had saved him Tcf Cale, the human who had shown him kindness and freedom.
Tboah Sheritt’s ethereal form shimmered softly. “It’s okay,” she whispered to herself.
She could wait.
The time would come when her children were ready to hear everything.
And until then, she would remain right here. Not going anywhere. Not ever.
[Tap.
Cale tapped the table with his index finger.
“It is being forced to become an existence without rationality.”
Tap.
He tapped on the table once again.
“It has had to suffer through its loneliness, without any family or anything to lean on.”]
Some felt sad at that.
“To be trapped in darkness, alone and suffering…” they murmured quietly, sympathy filling their hearts for the dragon in the story.
Others, however, had different reactions. Tcf Choi Han’s hands clenched into fists, his eyes dark with fury.
“That kind of cruelty… It’s unforgivable.” His voice was low but filled with restrained rage.
Tboah Eruhaben sighed, his golden eyes reflecting both sorrow and anger. “There is no excuse for harming a dragon, no matter what world it is.”
Raon, however, snuggled deeper into Tcf Cale’s chest, finding comfort in the steady heartbeat beneath his ear.
“You have a family now,” he murmured quietly. “And you aren’t lonely anymore.”
Tcf Cale’s hand gently stroked Raon’s head, his touch warm and soothing.
“That’s right,” Cale agreed softly. “You’re not alone anymore.”
Raon’s wings fluttered slightly, and he smiled into Cale’s embrace. “Because I have you, my human.”
A moment of quiet warmth settled over the group, a shared understanding that none of them would ever have to endure loneliness or darkness again.
They had found each other.
And that was enough.
[Tap.
Choi Han’s gaze fell every time Cale’s finger tapped the table. Choi Han’s fists were clenched underneath the table, to the point you could see his veins starting to flare up. Cale did not know about this, as he continued on.
“It is tortured and abused every day, and is only left alone when it is barely alive.”]
“That bastard won’t be getting away with it. He’ll never know peace,” Tcf Choi Han growled, his usually calm voice filled with rage.
Tcf Alberu leaned back in his chair, his expression calm but his voice deadly. “People like him don’t deserve forgiveness. And they certainly won’t get it from us.”
“There’s no running from this,” Tboah Eruhaben added with a sharp edge to his voice. “No hiding. He will pay.”
The intensity of their words made some in the room shiver. The cold anger from the group wasn’t something easily forgotten.
But no one felt sorry for Venion or those who had followed him.
Raon, nestled safely in Tcf Cale’s lap, quietly whispered, “I’m not scared anymore. Not of him.”
Cale’s hand gently rested on Raon’s head. “You don’t need to be. He’ll never hurt you again.”
Raon nodded firmly. “And if he tries, we’ll be ready.”
On and Hong, sitting close by, exchanged glances before nodding in unison.
“No one will touch our family ever again,” On said softly, her voice steady.
Hong’s tail flicked. “Not while we’re here.”
The mood in the room shifted from anger to fierce determination.
They had all suffered.
But now, they stood together.
And anyone who tried to harm their family would face the consequences.
[[]
Cale took another sip of his lemonade, before finishing up his story.
“And that existence is nearby.”]
“Where did it happen?” Tcf Rasheel demanded, his eyes gleaming with fury. His fists clenched tightly. “Tell me. I’ll burn that place to the ground.”
“Burn it?” Tcf Mila’s voice was cold, a dangerous smile curving her lips. “I’ll freeze it so thoroughly that not a single speck of ash remains.”
“Transmigrator,” Tcf Eruhaben said with a chillingly polite tone, though his golden eyes gleamed with deadly intent. “I believe you have some details to share.”
Tboah Eruhaben stepped forward, his expression calm but equally menacing. “Yes. Where is this place? It’s time for dragons to repay their debts.”
The combined pressure from the dragons made everyone shiver. The sheer rage radiating from them wasn’t something to take lightly.
All eyes turned to Tcf Cale.
He paled under their piercing gazes, sweat trickling down his neck. “W-We rescued the dragon already! It’s all in the past!” he blurted out, waving his hands in a frantic attempt to calm them down.
The tension in the room eased slightly.
Tcf Rasheel clicked his tongue in annoyance, muttering, “Lucky.”
Tcf Mila crossed her arms but nodded. “Fine. For now.”
Everyone let out a collective sigh of relief. It felt like they had barely avoided a catastrophe.
But one individual wasn’t focused on the outburst.
A certain white dragon stood frozen, her eyes clouded with thought.
“…Could it be?” Tboah Sheritt whispered to herself, her voice trembling slightly.
Her heart clenched painfully.
She wasn’t certain yet.
But if her suspicion was right…
Tboah Sheritt took a deep breath, determination settling in her gaze.
“I need to know.”
And with that, she continued reading.
[[]
That was why the silence continued for a while. Finally, Choi Han made eye contact with Cale and asked.
“Will you save it and try to tame it?”]
Everyone tensed up.
“Will he? Will he betray the dragon’s trust?”
The atmosphere grew heavy with unease.
Eruhaben, Rasheel, Mila, and Dodori from Tboah exchanged dark glances, their expressions grim.
If the transmigrator had ever dared to betray a dragon, they wouldn’t hesitate to make him pay. The very idea was enough to stir their bloodlust.
But that tension melted away as they took in the scene before them.
Raon, perched happily on Tcf Cale’s lap, his wings fluttering with excitement. Hong curled up beside him, purring contentedly, while On quietly sipped tea next to Cale.
The sight of the human gently ruffling Raon’s hair, murmuring soft reassurances, was enough to tell them everything.
No dragon would ever act that way toward someone who sought to tame them.
“He’s spoiling them,” Tboah Mila noted softly, her lips twitching into a small smile.
Tboah Rasheel scoffed, crossing his arms. “Hmph. That’s not taming. That’s… parenting.”
Tboah Dodori chuckled. “Parenting with a heavy dose of spoiling.”
Tboah Eruhaben leaned back, his gaze steady. “A true dragon would never allow themselves to be tamed. And no human who truly understood dragons would ever try.”
As they watched Cale quietly hum to calm Raon, Tboah Eruhaben smiled faintly. “That human doesn’t need to tame a dragon.”
He glanced at his fellow dragons.
“Because he’s already family.”
And at that moment, no one doubted it.
[“Are you crazy?”
“Excuse me?”
Cale acted on reflex, and asked back in shock. Choi Han also became shocked at Cale’s questioning his sanity.]
“Haha, you know, I sometimes wonder if we're all secretly in some kind of collective madness when I think back on some of the things we've ended up doing,” Tcf Zeno chuckled, shaking his head.
“I’ve had the same thought more times than I can count,” Tcf Lock agreed with a wry smile.
“Tcf Cale’s plans usually have us questioning reality itself,” Tcf Alberu said, glancing affectionately at Cale. “But I suppose that’s just part of his charm.”
“Sanity, what’s that?” Tcf Clopeh quipped, arms crossed as he leaned back in his chair.
“Honestly, I think if anyone was going to lose it first, it was definitely going to be him,” Raon pointed out, his ears twitching in amusement.
The group glanced at each other, their shared experiences flashing across their faces.
“I think we can all agree that Tcf Clopeh’s thought process is... one-of-a-kind,” Kim Rok Soo remarked dryly.
[“Why would I try to tame it?”
Cale waved his hand around like Choi Han was crazy.
There was no way that a dragon that was abused by humans would be willing to serve a human. In fact, it probably was full of hate and disgust for any and all humans. Even if that human was the person that saved it.
Dragons believe that they are above all creatures, including humans. This is a natural instinct for dragons, so, even without being in contact with any other Dragon in its whole life, it will still feel this way.]
“That book really had a lot to say about dragons,” Tboah Lock muttered.
“That’s a completely normal reaction for anyone who’s had to deal with... that,” Tboah Rosalyn remarked, her tone dry but knowing.
All the dragons and those familiar with dragons nodded in agreement.
The dragons, now more intrigued, exchanged curious glances at the human who seemed to have such knowledge of them.
Tcf Cale sneezed. “Why do I suddenly feel like I need to hide?” He shivered.
[[]
‘Dragons are born extremely arrogant. But, most importantly, if I raise a dragon...’
Cale could feel it. He felt like he would get wrapped up in some annoying incidents if he raised a dragon.]
“Hey!! Human, I, the mighty and magnificent Raon, am not the one who got you caught up in all these troublesome messes. You did that all on your own!” Raon shouted indignantly.
“He’s not wrong, my love,” Tcf Alberu said, chuckling as he shot a playful glance at Cale.
“I didn’t do anything!” Tcf Cale protested, crossing his arms and glaring.
“Not just one dragon, either,” Tcf Bud remarked with a grin, clearly enjoying the moment.
[[]
“Then?”
“Why are you asking such an obvious question?”
Cale laughed at Choi Han’s question before he answered.
“Let it go so it can live a free and peaceful life. Shouldn’t a dragon live like a dragon?”]
“Thank you, human.”
The dragons in the room smiled warmly at Cale’s words.
The dragons from Tboah exchanged knowing looks, understanding the appeal of a human who could earn such respect. They smiled at what Tcf Cale had said.
“Oh, how impressive,” whispered Tcf Paseton, a glint of admiration in his eyes. "As expected from the one who saved me." He smiled, watching Tcf Cale with clear affection.
The little dragon, feeling grateful, flew down to settle on Tcf Cale’s lap. With a contented sigh, he closed his eyes, his smile hidden as he basked in the warmth of his human’s presence.
Tcf Cale softly patted the little dragon, a fond expression on his face.
[“...I see.”
Choi Han’s clenched fists slowly started to relax.
“Then will we be saving that dragon?”
“Yes. So I need your help.”
“Anything. I really will do anything to help.”
Cale was worried that Choi Han would escalate the situation, and shook his head.
“No need to go overboard. I have no plans to kill anybody, if possible, either. We will do it as quietly as possible.”]
“Noble and compassionate, truly. To think he wants to protect and never harm anyone,” Tboah Litana said, nodding in approval of Tcf Cale’s noble heart.
“He is truly someone to admire,” they all thought in unison.
“You’re too soft,” Tboah Rasheel complained, his voice dripping with disdain. “Those scoundrels didn’t deserve any mercy.”
“I wasn’t showing mercy,” Tcf Cale replied calmly, his gaze steady. “It was merely a temporary reprieve. My true goal was to remain unnoticed, ensuring nothing would come back on me or the Henituse family. I also wanted to stir up a bit of chaos and confusion between the Stan Family and the secret organization.”
He said it with a nonchalant air, as though the deeper motives behind his actions were as simple as breathing.
[“Cale-nim, you really-”
Choi Han started to speak with admiration, but Cale looked at the clock, before cutting him off and saying what he needed to say.
“Go tell Ron to prepare some alcohol on the first floor.”
“Are diff- what?”
Cale was prepared to drink first.]
“What?”
They did a double-take, unable to believe what they had just read.
“Pfft. I would have loved to see the look on your face at that moment, ”Tcf Bud laughed, clearly amused.
[[]
“Yes! There is nothing in his hand. Thus, it is safe! He promised he won’t throw any bottles!”
[]
“Owner. Your alcohol tastes great! Much better than I expected.”
Cale didn’t seem to know that Choi Han was looking at him, instead focusing on just praising the alcohol. They had been drinking for two hours already. There were some who were not drinking, just in case something happened, but the majority of the envoy was enjoying the festive atmosphere.
‘They were all so nervous for the first hour, tsk.’
When Cale had ordered them to gather, as he would be drinking, the soldiers showed up with their helmets on. Cale couldn’t believe it, but told them that he will not throw any bottles to help them relax.]
“That’s both hilarious and frustrating,” Tboah Bud said with a smirk.
“I apologize once again, young master. Our actions were not in line with what a soldier and knight should be. Even if the rumors were true, you were still our master, and our behavior should have reflected that,” Tcf Hilsman said, bowing deeply to Cale.
“It’s fine. I would have done the same, ”Tcf Cale responded with a shrug. “Your safety is important, and if I had been like the rumors said—injuring a few of you by throwing bottles around—it would have interfered with your ability to do your job.”
“Pfft, bwahaha, imagine your soldiers showing up fully armed and ready for battle!” Toonka laughed, slapping his knee with amusement.
Both Kim Rok Soo and Tboah Cale wore proud expressions, clearly enjoying the moment.
Noticing this, Tcf Cale raised an eyebrow. “Why do you two look so proud?”
* “What? Our reputation speaks for itself!” Kim Rok Soo replied with a grin.
“Exactly, it means we did our job right!” Tboah Cale added, nodding enthusiastically.
The two high-fived each other in perfect sync.
Tcf Cale let out a sigh, rubbing his temples.
[[]
“Young master, you don’t need to-”
The Vice-Captain shouted out with a flushed face, but his eyes were focused on the bottle in Cale’s hand. The rest of the soldiers were looking at the same thing. Naturally, Cale was aware of what they were thinking.
“Just drink. I’m telling you to drink. Got it?”
The eyes of the soldiers who were present all started to sparkle. It was the first time they became excited to see a bottle in Cale’s hands.]
Kim Rok Soo and Tboah Cale snorted.
“Hey! Stop ruining our hard work!”
“Yeah! Stop messing with our reputation!”
Tcf Cale just stared at them expressionlessly.
[Cale watched the excited inn owner bring alcohol and snacks for everyone there with a sharp gaze.
Cale Henituse. This human had a strong alcohol tolerance. Everybody thought he had a low tolerance because his face flushed easily and he caused a ruckus whenever he drank, but the truth was that he did all those things without being drunk at all.]
They both winced. Kim Rok Soo and Tboah Cale were now nursing headaches, as their secrets seemed to spill out one after another. Tsk.
Meanwhile, everyone thought, So that’s how it is. He’s been pretending all along. He’s far more calculated than we realized.
“I suppose it’s a good thing we all agreed to lay things out before this whole mess started,” Kim Rok Soo remarked with a half-smile. “Seems like no one’s getting to keep their secrets after all.”
At his words, Tboah Alberu’s mind started to race. Does the transmigrator know? What if it gets exposed now? Does everyone already suspect? Is that why he’s been acting so carefree?
While Tcf Alberu quickly dismissed his panic, replacing it with a sense of determination. If the truth came out, it would come out he wasn’t going to hide anymore. He had accepted who he was, and Cale... Cale had been his support through it all. Their bond was stronger than anything, and that was something he didn’t regret or want to hide. He trusted Cale with his life, and nothing could change that.
The two Zeds watched their respective sons, each of them feeling different waves of emotion.
Tboah Zed, seeing the brief flash of panic in his son's eyes hurt deeply. It was a reminder of everything he had failed to protect him from. That fear was not something he ever wanted to see, and it made him wonder if there was still a chance to make things right.
While Tcf Zed, seeing the flicker of panic in his son’s eyes was painful. But it disappeared quickly, replaced by a quiet certainty. His son had found his way. And more than that, Alberu had found someone who saw him for who he truly was—Cale. The connection they shared was undeniable. Cale had become more than just a companion; he had become Alberu’s family, the one person who accepted him completely. Zed felt an unexpected sense of pride in that.
[[]
‘Just one person left.’
It was easy to avoid the guards at the gate and around the inn, but Ron was still left. Hans and Ron would never come into the room if he told them not to come in. However, the difference between the two was that Hans was not skilled enough to know if Cale was still in the room, while Ron was so skilled that he would easily be able to tell if Cale snuck out.
‘It’s not like that old man will care about what I am doing.’]
Tboah Cale frowned. Deep down, he knew that Ron , despite his outward care, hadn’t treated him as he should have. The betrayal of being abandoned without a word after Cale was beaten by Choi Han still stung. He knew it, but the hurt never quite faded.
“You sound like a young squire sneaking away from his master’s training to sneak into the tavern at night,” Tcf Bud remarked with a chuckle, shaking his head.
Tcf Glenn shrugged. “But honestly, I don’t think breaking a dragon out of prison is quite the same as sneaking into a tavern. It was more like a full-blown mission.”
“Well, the guards probably wouldn’t call it ‘fun,’ but we certainly did, ”Tcf Cale said with a grin.
“I had a great time,” On agreed enthusiastically.
“Enjoyed it thoroughly,” Hong added with a wink.
“I found it to be an excellent experience,” Tcf Choi Han chimed in, his usual composed tone betraying just a hint of amusement.
“It was an unforgettable night,” Raon declared, puffing out his chest.
“Well, there you have it, ”Tcf Cale smirked. “It was a party, and we just happened to sneak out for it.”
Laughter filled the room as everyone shared amused glances, the unexpected "rescue mission" transforming into their very own version of a wild night out.
[Realistically, Ron would not care whether Cale snuck out and what he did once he snuck out. That was how he had been until now. However, Cale didn’t want things to get annoying in the future, so he decided to tell Ron in advance.
Seeing Ron follow behind Choi Han, Cale quickly informed Ron.
“Ron, I’m going to go out to play. It’s a secret. Got it?”]
Both Ron flinched.
It wasn’t that he didn’t care about where his young master went, but it was the fact that he cared deeply about what could happen to him.
"This Ron will make sure his wayward young master doesn’t disappear into the night again without a proper word. If he does, I’ll be sure to track him down, “Tcf Ron stated resolutely.
Tcf Cale, sensing he might avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble by simply letting Ron in on his plans, decided it was probably time to start keeping the man informed of his whereabouts from now on. It might save him some future headaches.
[[]
“Of course I do, young master. Please rest well.”
“Young master, this Ron will be standing right outside your room.”
Cale’s expression stiffened at Ron’s response, but he watched the two of them leave, before stealthily giving an order to Choi Han.
“Use the windows to quietly come back to my room.”]
“Gasp Cale my love I can’t believe you cheated on me with Instructor-nim” Tcf Alberu whispered to Tcf Cale in a dramatic tone.
“We weren’t even dating at that time…and nothing happened” Tcf Cale said with his embarrassment showing with his red ear.
He became even more embarrassed when he heard Tcf Alberu hushed giggle.
“ Cale you are not the right age to have a man that old in your bed” Kim Rok Soo said in a teasing voice.
This caused a thought to form in some people’s heads ‘Wait how old is Cale….No wait how old is Choi Han.’
[Choi Han nodded his head and quickly followed the other two out of the room and closed the door.
Meeeeeow.
“Is it time now?”
Cale nodded his head at On and Hong, who followed him up to his room, and immediately opened the box.
Click.38
The magic lock clicked open, and Cale removed an outfit from inside the box. Once he finished changing, Choi Han entered through the window, and then his eyes opened wide in shock.]
Tboah Choi Han turned his head to Tcf Cale “Why my counterpart is shocked what is in there.”
“Well this is the beginning of the white radishes biggest problem “The Real Arm”. ”Tcf Rosalyn said in a joyful tone
Tboah Rosalyn stared at her counterpart in confusion.
[“Cale-nim?”
Before putting on the mask, Cale threw the black outfit in his hand toward Choi Han.
“You wear it too.”
The orb from yesterday should temporarily stop the magic recording devices, but that was not enough. Cale did not want to get caught. That was why he had been drinking since the middle of the day and prepared these outfits.
“What is this?”
The black outfit had a single red star and five smaller white stars surrounding it on the chest area.
‘What is it? The outfit of the secret organization.’
‘The Birth of a Hero’ novel clearly and accurately explained the outfit of the secret organization that Choi Han runs into time after time. This outfit was specially ordered by Cale following the explanation as accurately as possible. Just to be on the safe side, Cale even had the outfit created separately and personally added the stars.]
“Wait you can sew” Tcf bud asked in shock
“Yeah” Tcf Cale Replied a little confused
“Cale are you meaning to tell us that you hand stitched star on to every one of the outfits” Tcf Roslyn Asked
“Yes, Why?” Tcf Cale Asked back.
[[]
“...Are we doing something bad?”
Choi Han asked once more after seeing Cale not respond. Seeing Cale with the black mask on as well definitely made him seem like a villain.
“Yes. We are doing something bad.”
Cale started to smile underneath the mask.
“We’re doing something bad to Venion.”
“Ah.”]
“Wait what that scumbag has to do with this” Tboah Cage asked
“Young Master Cale why was my brother mentioned” Tcf Tylor asked
“Because he was the one that was torturing Roan” Tcf Cale stated
With Cale’s answer this now gave them the identity of the bastard who was stupid enough to torture a dragon.
[Choi Han seemed to finally understand, as he quickly pointed to the other mask in Cale’s hand.
“Please give it to me.”
Even good people will have someone they don’t like and want to screw over. That was no different for this 17 year old, who spent tens of years alone in this world.
“Ah, and these kids are from the Cat Tribe. They are beast people.”
Cale casually introduced On and Hong to Choi Han as if it was nothing, and they just simply exchanged greetings as well. The Cat Tribe children, who were sensitive to a person’s true character, already had a good idea about Choi Han’s strength, and Choi Han had noticed they were not your average cats during their travel.
“He’s Choi Han, this is On, that is Hong. End of introductions. Everybody get ready.”]
Ah, I see! Here's a version more in line with that idea:
“So you’ve always been this careless about dropping big reveals, huh? I was wondering if this habit of yours was something that developed over time or if it’s always been your style,” Alberu muttered. They both looked at the cats in the center, their earlier assumption proving true.
At first, some had been shocked when the cats started speaking, but now it was revealed they were beast men.
Cale simply shrugged, lightly patting one of the cats. “It’s not like it’s a big deal, right?” he said casually. Alberu sighed, unable to hide a smile as he watched the scene unfold, completely unfazed by Cale's habit of revealing things without warning.
[There was a short time to get ready before Cale ordered Choi Han, who had just come out of the restroom wearing the same black outfit and black mask.
“Let’s go.”
He then added on, as he stood in front of the second story window.
“Carry me when you go out the window. I can’t jump so far down without getting hurt.”]
“You can’t be serious”
“I know I aint that weak” Tboah Cale said.
[Choi Han let out a sigh for the first time in front of Cale. On and Hong approached Choi Han and patted him with their paws to console him. Cale urged them on once again.
“Let’s hurry.”
The group that safely exited the inn headed for the mountain with the Viscount’s Villa and the Dragon’s prison.]
Knowing they were about to uncover the details of Cale Recused Roan, everyone leaned forward, their eyes fixed on the screen.
Some watched with bated breath, eager to understand the full story behind the little dragon’s rescue.
Others, however, were brimming with barely contained rage.
Vicious smiles played on the lips of the dragons as their claws tapped against the floor. The promise of Venion’s downfall was like sweet music to their ears.
“Finally,” Tboah Rasheel muttered, his grin sharp and dangerous. “It’s time to see that bastard get what he deserves.”
Tboah Mila nodded, her icy aura spreading. “I’m looking forward to the chaos.”
The tension in the room grew as everyone’s anticipation mounted.
And at the center of it all, Raon sat snuggled against Tcf Cale, his tail flicking contentedly.
But the faintest flicker of unease crossed his face. “Human, will they… will they get angry when they see everything?”
Cale’s hand rested lightly on Raon’s head, a calming presence. “Don’t worry, Raon. They’ll be angry for you, not at you. And I’ll make sure they don’t go overboard.”
The little dragon smiled, reassured by his human’s words.
With that, the group turned back to the screen, their focus sharp.
This was a story they wouldn’t miss.
