The knight�s shoulders stiffened at Cale�s motion. Cale and the Cat Knight made eye contact.

�You have some animal fur on your uniform.�

����Is that so?�

�Yes. It looks like you have a red cat that matches your hair?�

Cale asked with a gentle smile as the knight shook his head.

�It must be my hair. I do not have any pets.�

�Is that so?�

Cale could see that the knight turned serious.

�Yes sir. I hate animals.�

He seemed to mean it.

Cale did not say anything else as he started to walk again. The Cat knight started to describe the things around them once more. Cale heard Raon�s voice in his head.

� He seemed super excited when he asked if you had pet cats, but he seemed serious when he said that he hates animals! It was very odd!

�Right?�

This knight was an odd one.

However, Cale reaffirmed his decision when Choi Han whispered in his ear once he left the Cat Knight outside the library and walked in.

�Cale-nim, that knight�s strength is too high for him to be someone�s guide. Being a knight seems to be a cover.�

�I�ll pretend not to know.�

An assassin�s thought process was none of Cale�s business, as usual.

However, Cale could not help but recall some of the information that Hilsman had brought back about that knight.

�That knight is originally from the slums.�

�Apparently, he grew up with poor parents and many siblings, but his good character made him popular with the people in the slums and the general public. They call him a Dragon from the river. (This is an idiom for something rare. You wouldn�t normally find a Dragon coming out of a river. (PR: A-Are dragons common in other places then?) )

The final piece of information kept crossing his mind.

The Cat Knight was 23 years old.

�Some of his siblings were said to have gone to the Alchemy Tower 15 years ago. His parents definitely seem to be human.� JrNovels.com
