‘Little brother.’

Basen felt as if Cale’s voice was echoing in his ear like an illusion. His heart thumped wildly as well.

“We need to hurry.”

He snapped out of it after hearing Cale’s comment and started to walk.

Each step felt extremely heavy.

‘The entire kingdom is pretty much at war right now.’

The Henituse Duchy only left a few knights and mages necessary for the defense of the territory and had the rest of the troops gather by the Lord’s Castle.

His mother, Duchess Violan, was gathering the troops as the deputy for his father who was not here; communicating with different territories through the Northeast region and gathering all the troops together.

‘Mother and Viscount Ubarr will head to Puzzle City soon.’

The Henituse Duchy used to be famous for its wealth, but it was also famous for its military strength now.

Then there was Viscount Ubarr who had the navy in her territory.

These two places would become the center that urgently sends troops to Puzzle City.

‘According to what mother told me, the different parts of the Roan Kingdom are all taking care of the intruders before preparing to head over to Puzzle City at his highness’s orders.’

Basen had seen it.

The Knight Captain had sent an image of the monsters through a video communication device.

Just looking at it gave him chills throughout his body.

“Our human’s little bro! What are you doing?”

Basen heard a bright voice at that moment.

“We’re in a rush! Let’s go right away!”

“Ah-!”

The young black Dragon was tilting his head while looking at him.

‘…A Dragon.’

Basen had seen the gold Dragon that had appeared as their ally to fight against the monsters.

He had been able to see all of this because he was helping by his mother’s side.

“Basen. You lead the way. I have some things to think about so I will follow behind you.”

“Little bro Basen! Let’s hurry!”

Basen wanted to think more about Raon, but he determined that he should follow Cale’s orders because of the current situation.

He stepped forward and started to climb the hill. He could feel Cale walking behind him.

‘I don’t know why hyung-nim suddenly wanted to come here, but I’m glad that there is something I can do with him.’

Basen had such thoughts as he walked forward when he heard Cale’s voice behind him.

“…Where is mother?”

Cale had not stopped by the Estate and had just contacted Basen to meet him at this hill.

Basen could not see Cale since he was in the front, but he slowly started to smile.

‘Hyung-nim has always been like this.’

He seemed disinterested at times and even cold, but…

He was a warm person down inside.

As Cale suddenly sought to go to his biological mother’s grave when the Roan Kingdom was in this dangerous situation… Basen thought that it was very like Cale to cautiously ask about his other mother, Violan, along the way.

“Mother told me to apologize on her behalf for being unable to come to see you because she is busy and asked me to thoroughly observe you to make sure that you do not have any injuries.”

“I see. And Lily?”

“Ah.”

Basen gasped.

“…Lily, she says she wants to go to Puzzle City as well and has been…”

He stopped for a moment before continuing.

“She is throwing a tantrum about it right now.”

“Even if we don’t consider her age, aren’t her skills, and more importantly, experiences lacking?”

“…She is skilled enough to easily defeat most of the regular knights in the territory and is almost on par with the higher-level knights.”

“…She is?”

“Yes, hyung-nim.”

“What a genius.”

“She sure is.”

The two siblings stopped talking for a moment, thinking about Lily, who was getting stronger by the day.

“Human! Your second sibling is amazing! She is really strong!”

‘Apparently.’

Cale nodded his head.

‘Should I just let Lily be the territory lord in the future if she wants to do it?’

He felt as if their territory would become the strongest in the Roan Kingdom if she would be the territory lord.

‘Benefiting off Lily while quietly rolling around the house doing nothing…that sounds too sweet.’

As Cale was able to come up with an alternative plan to have a peaceful slacker life in the future…

“Hyung-nim. Umm, may I ask why you are heading to your mother’s grave?”

Cale thought about Duke Deruth after hearing Basen’s cautious question.

‘Father asked me just as cautiously.’

Cale had gone up to Duke Deruth while under Raon’s invisibility spell.

‘Father.’

‘Ahhhhhhhhh!’

Deruth had been extremely shocked and clutched his head.

‘My goodness! I’m hearing voices now?! I need to focus right now, but why am I so weak?!’

‘…….’

Cale had been anxious for a moment before informing Duke Deruth that he was currently invisible and moving to an empty alley to chat together.
