Chapter: 31

The bars. Market. Plaza. They then passed the residences of the wealthy and finally arrived at the Count�s estate located in the rear of the city.

�What are you doing?�

Cale looked toward Choi Han, who had stopped moving. Choi Han must have seen how the soldiers greeted Cale, as well as how the citizens avoided him, on their way here.

Choi Han was probably questioning whether it really would be easy to kill Cale.

Cale asked once more.

�Are you not going to come?�

As expected, Choi Han resumed walking. His reason for following Cale now was probably to get some information as well as to host the funeral for the villagers of Harris Village.

�Y, young master?�

As soon as Cale stood at the main entrance of the estate, the guards and knights stumbled over their words as they greeted him.

�Sigh. I wish they would stop with that y, young master business.�

It was odd hearing them stumbling over their words every time. Since he possessed the body of a trash, he was trying his best to act like one. It was easier to be a trash young master than a noble young master. He was trying to make his life as easy as possible. Cale frowned at the guards� stumbling of words while the guards quickly opened the gate.

�Please head on in.�

Cale turned back to look at Choi Han. The rest of them looked at Choi Han as well. They were probably curious about this beggar that followed their young master back. The knights observed Choi Han with suspicion in their eyes.

�Follow me.�

Choi Han should know of Cale�s status by now. He continued to limp as he approached Cale. Cale looked calm and turned back as soon as he saw that Choi Han was behind him and entered through the gate.

But his heart was going crazy.

�I�m sure he�s thinking about taking me as a hostage if something dangerous happens. That is probably why he stood right behind me.�

He was sure that Choi Han would not kill him. However, just thinking about being taken as hostage caused serious mental strain that Cale frowned as he looked at the two knights who were following them.

�Don�t follow me.�

The knights flinched at Cale�s clear order. They looked back and forth between Cale and Choi Han before one of the knights approached Choi Han and Cale with a stiff expression on his face.

The knights cared about their creed more than anything else. It was fitting of the knights that Deruth treasured.

�Well, I guess they have to act like this to be good knights.�

Cale was satisfied at the knight�s response to this beggar-like foreigner and left the knight alone to follow them. He just led Choi Han to the entrance of the Count�s residence.
