The Chryshi household was one of those vassals.

Cale started to speak.

�Isn�t the Chryshi household a household that is famous for being a household of scholars?�

It was the household that had been the instructors of the crown two hundred years ago. That was why the Gyerre Duchy chose to accept such a household without any territories or wealth as a vassal.

�Young master-nim.�

Ron gently responded to Cale�s question.

�The past does not necessarily continue to the present.�

�I guess that is true.�

Cale agreed.

Regardless of whether they were a household of scholars in the past, they were a terrible household now.

The fact that they would hire people to kidnap children showed that they were not right in the head.

�Young master-nim, it was two nights ago.�

Cale looked toward Ron. The fact that Ron had been seriously acting like a benign old man since earlier was making Cale feel iffy. Ron seemed to look healthier after receiving his fake yet strong arm.

�Maybe it is because I am getting older, but I could not fall asleep that night. That was why I decided to talk a light walk through the back alleys of the Gyerre territory.�

��Are the back alleys really a good spot to take a walk?�

Cale wanted to ask that question, but held himself back.

�I happened to see some children pulling a carriage and going toward the corner of the slums.�

�Children?�

Cale looked toward Ron with confusion after hearing that children were pulling the carriage. Ron clarified his comments.

�They were husky children who seemed to be about 30 years old.�

��When did buff gangsters turn into children?�

Ron continued to speak as Cale sat there in silence.

�Anyway, I found those children interesting and chose to follow them. Of course, I did it stealthily so that they wouldn�t notice me.�

Cale ignored Freesia, who was looking toward Ron with a gaze of respect. JrNovels.com
