Silence descended in the room for a moment.

Cale looked around at everybody, starting with Raon, during that moment of silence.

He then realized it.

‘I forgot for a moment.’

He forgot how vicious these four individuals around him were. They were asking him what Cale was plotting to do after going into the temple alone.

‘No, it’s not just these four.’

Cale got the chills.

‘These four, as well as On and Hong, noticed something. No, if On and Hong know, it is highly likely that Ron and Beacrox know as well. And if Ron and Beacrox know-’

Cale’s mind started crumbling as the extent of his thoughts expanded further and further.

– Keke.

The Sound of the Wind chuckled.

Cale didn’t care as he had a thought on his mind.

‘If I tell them the truth?’

If he told them that he needed to stab his heart with the root dagger the World Tree gave him, and then use that bloodied root dagger to destroy the White Star’s annual rings…

If he told them that that was the only way to stop the White Star’s endless reincarnations…

Furthermore, if he said that the World Tree claimed that stabbing his heart would be beneficial for him…

What would happen if he said all of that?

‘…It would go one of two ways.’

First, they would make it so that he cannot use the root dagger and try to look for a different method.

Second, Cale would have to stab himself with the root dagger while all of the people who knew about this watched him. It was obvious how his allies would react in the second situation.

‘Human! I’m going to watch to make sure you really are okay! I, I will burn the World Tree!’

‘Cale-nim… I cannot even trust the World Tree.’

‘Oh. This is truly the legend! I have no reason to believe in a god anymore. A god is in front of my eyes.’

‘Gasp.’

Cale got the chills. The last person he had thought about was Clopeh. Clopeh Sekka would say something like that and urge him to hurry up and stab himself in the heart like a crazy bastard.

Cale made up his mind.

‘Let’s play dumb.’

That was his only choice.

“What do you mean by that?”

‘Good. I’ll just feign ignorance like this.’

“I am the only person who has come face to face with the sealed god. That is why I should be able to react quickly even if some variables occur in the temple because of the sealed god.”

Eruhaben frowned. Cale felt as if the Dragon’s gaze was turning vicious, but did his best to ignore that gaze.

“Most importantly, getting to the end of the temple is not just a matter of strength.”

Everybody other than Eruhaben frowned after Cale said that. Eruhaben asked with a confused expression on his face.

“Is there something in the temple?”

“Yes, Eruhaben-nim.”

“What is it?”

Eruhaben’s expression instantly turned serious as he asked Cale for details.

“Heh.”

They heard someone laugh at that moment. The ancient Dragon turned toward the person who laughed and flinched.

It was because Choi Han was the one who laughed. He nodded his head as if he accepted something before speaking to Cale.

“So this is how you planned on getting out of it, Cale-nim.”

Flinch.

It was Cale’s turn to flinch.

Raon immediately shouted as well.

“We won’t be fooled anymore! Don’t try to change the subject!”

‘Shit.’

Cale did his best to hold back a sigh.

Clap, clap, clap-

The crown prince leaned against the head of the bed with a slightly fatigued expression on his face as he leisurely clapped.

“You’re such a good actor. You would be great as a scammer.”

Cale tilted his head with an innocent look on his face.

“What? Who is acting?”

“Okay. Feel free to keep it up.”

The crown prince gently spoke to Cale as if he was enjoying this quite a bit. Cale lightly shrugged his shoulders.

“I don’t know what you mean by, ‘keep it up,’ your highness.”

“Yes, yes.”
