Cale continued on, as he could see that Count Deruth was contemplating.

�The investigation squad has already completed their investigation, but I wanted to see it with my own eyes. Plus, I don�t even need to worry about the monsters. It is not winter.�

�That is true.�

The monsters of the Forest of Darkness. There was a large man-made stone wall between Harris Village and the Forest of Darkness. It was to protect against these monsters. ( � The Henituse family is the Night�s Watch � )

There have been no monster attacks in the last 150 years. maybe people were scared because there are so many stories about how you�ll die if you go into the Forest of Darkness, but it was very rare for an actual monster to appear.

The problem was that any monsters that actually came out were extremely strong mutant monsters.

The Count found the fact that no monsters have appeared in 150 years to be odd, and so he had sent multiple investigation squads, but they could only roam around the Forest of Darkness without actually going in.

Finally, Count Deruth started to speak.

�There are still soldiers in Harris Village, so it should be safe.�

He seemed to have made up his mind and continued to speak.

�You have to take care of the people you have taken in.�

Cale slowly shook his head. It was an unbelievable misunderstanding.

�Choi Han is not my subordinate.�

Have Choi Han as his subordinate? Cale would never do such a thing. Deruth smiled at his son before nodding his head.

�Sure. Whatever you say. You are all grown up now.�

�Of course. I am 18 years old.�

�You grew up so fast. Alright. You can go now.�

Cale bowed to his father before turning around to head to the door. He could hear count Deruth�s voice behind him.

�Cale.�

Deruth continued to speak as Cale turned back around.

�The golden turtle has not always been our family crest. We are a family of warriors who are sworn to protect our family and anything else.�

The two of them made eye contact.

�We protect everything with our strong shell. However, you must remember that the most important thing is to protect yourself. That is why we are a turtle.�

A turtle that protects itself with its strong shell. Count Deruth, who was known for being mediocre in all aspects by others, reminded his son once more. JrNovels.com
