“Dongsaeng! Congratulations on your return!”

As Alberu Crossman approached him...

Cale used all of the agility he had to dodge Alberu Crossman.

“...Is there something you need me to do, your highness?”

Cale asked disrespectfully with a scowl on his face but Alberu just smiled brightly.

“Haha! Why would I make my dongsaeng do anything?! Hahaha!”

Raon said something serious in Cale’s mind.

- Human, something’s suspicious about our crown prince. Do you think that the crown prince is trying to scam us?

‘Raon's learning ability really is amazing.

His instincts are pretty good too.’

Cale peeked behind him.

The bishop in charge of the Church of the God of Death in Huiss City, the capital of Roan Kingdom, was smiling awkwardly while looking at all of this.

Yesterday...

Cale thought that he should at least inform people about his return time so he had requested a call to the Roan Kingdom yesterday using the divine item.

‘It’s you?’

‘Yes, young master-nim. It is me.’

Beacrox was the one to pick up.

He was certain that he had called Alberu Crossman's study but Beacrox was seated there alone when he picked up the phone.

‘Where are the others?’

‘...They are all busy, young master-nim.’

‘I'm heading back tomorrow.

Please hear the details when you get here, young master-nim. I will deliver the message. Please let me know the time of your arrival.’

Beacrox ended the short conversation with a gruff look on his face.

However, Cale couldn't help but feel unsettled after hearing what On said once the call ended.

‘Something is weird.’

‘What is?’

‘...He was folding white gloves.’

That was correct.

Beacrox was seated alone in the crown prince’s study, folding dozens of white gloves.

“…….”

Cale’s suspicious gaze headed toward the crown prince but the crown prince was still shining. Energetically.

“Let’s go to the Royal Palace. Doesn’t that sound great? I've already prepared a carriage.”

“...I understand for now, your highness.”

Cale moved awkwardly and almost unwillingly as he followed Alberu.

However, he had to stop walking for a moment.

The crown prince turned around to speak to Eruhaben, Choi Han, Sui Khan, and the others.

“Ah. I’ve prepared multiple carriages so you can each relax in one as we move.”

Alberu was speaking informally to Cale's group because they were in front of the bishop.

- It looks like something must have happened.

Cale nodded his head at the ancient Dragon's comment.

Alberu was trying to separate Cale from the others right now.

“Umm, excuse me-”

The Bishop interjected at that moment.

“Is the divine item safe-”

Cale nonchalantly pulled out the divine item in his pocket after hearing the question. The Bishop nodded his head before warily looking at Alberu as he spoke.

“Commander Cale Henituse is an extremely revered guest of our Church of the God of Death and has moved according to the will of our god. I believe he should get some rest in the comfortable place that the temple has prepared-”

Alberu's smile became even thicker.

The Bishop flinched but he started speaking again in order to hold Cale there.

A person who can use a divine item.

The Church of the God of Death had basically been flipped over while Cale was not here because of that.

"The Pope wishes to meet Commander Cale as well-”

“Bishop-nim.”

Cale started to speak at that moment.

He approached the Bishop and placed a hand on his shoulder.

They prepared a place for Cale and his people to get some rest?

The Pope wants to see him?

Cale snorted at the Bishop's words.

He knew the reason the Bishop wanted to hold him here.

“Let’s only be greedy to a reasonable level.”

He was thinking about keeping Cale, the person who used a divine item, in his territory no matter what it took, in order to gain numerous benefits.

“It looks like you were able to relax quite a bit while I was gone?”

The smile on the Bishop's face turned into a frown.

Cale patted the Bishop's shoulder one more time before walking past him.

“Let’s live on while using each other to a reasonable level. And don't latch onto me.”

The Bishop closed his mouth after seeing the coldness in Cale's eyes.

Cale would quietly use the divine item as he wished and the Bishop would use the fact that the divine item and Cale were in the Roan Kingdom.

The Bishop smiled awkwardly at Cale, who seemed to be asking if the Bishop forgot about that deal they made, before responding.

“I will visit you next time, Commander-nim.”

“Of course. Bishop-nim. We will have an honest and solid chat.”

Cale followed behind Alberu after that comment.
