Deputy butler Hans immediately ordered another servant to call Choi Han over.

"Where is he right now?"

"Ah, he is with Ron in chef Beacrox's kitchen."

Cale's heart jumped as he walked into the study. Were the three of them getting along as expected?

"Based on what I've been told, he is learning how to cook basic dishes from chef Beacrox."

"Cooking?"

"Yes."

One corner of Cale's lips went up.

'Cooking my ass.'

They were calling it, 'cooking,' but he was probably learning about torturing or Beacrox and Ron were admiring Choi Han's sword skill. Cale didn't need to see it to know the truth.

Cale naturally walked over and sat down at his desk. He then casually asked Hans, who was idly standing in the corner.

"What did he ask for?"

"Ah."

Hans seemed shocked at Cale's sudden words, before quickly putting on a serious expression and started to report. It was the information Cale expected it to be.

Hans could not hide his sorrow and disappointment while sharing about what happened to Harris Village, and had gone to the Count with Choi Han to deliver the Village Chief's Plaque that Choi Han brought.

"Father met with him?"

"Yes. The Count immediately ordered for a funeral and will be sending inspectors, knights, and soldiers to investigate."

Mm. Hans stopped for a moment and hesitated before continuing to speak.

"However, the guest has indicated he will not be going back with us."

Hans recalled meeting the Count with Choi Han, as Choi Han explained the situation to the Count.

Choi Han was speaking normally, but the tips of his fingers were shaking. It was then that Hans found out that Choi Han was 17 years old. He was able to keep his life because he happened to be searching for medicinal herbs on his own at the time of the massacre, but he still had to watch his neighbors and friends all being killed at such a young age. Just how much shock would he have received?

"Will that be okay?"

That was why Hans had asked Cale. Will it be okay for him to not say his final farewell?

"It is his decision."

Cale answered Hans's question and changed the topic. He already knew why Choi Han did not want to return. He had already said his goodbye as he buried them. All that was left was to get his revenge on the people that took their future away.

"Has Ron been taking care of him?"

"Yes. He has made sure that the guest eats every meal. He has also been very friendly with him."

The three of them did indeed seem to be getting along.

"Ah."

Hans seemed to have remembered something as he continued to speak.

"Mr. Ron seems to have hurt himself while working again. He had bandages around his wrist."

"Really? Make sure to give him some medicine."

'He probably killed someone again.'

That was what Cale was thinking. He heard Hans's voice at that time.
