Rosalyn lightly tapped her other palm with the club. As part of the royal family, especially as the eldest child in line for the throne, she had learned self-defense, as well as some other basic martial arts.

Her gaze suddenly became chilly.

�I also wanted to take a look at this place with my own eyes.�

Cale started to smile. Rosalyn, the liege in charge of the new Magic Tower in the future, was a very just person like Choi Han. That was why she was able to grow together with her party members. However, she also had a definite goal as well as a cold rationality. The Whipper Kingdom would give her some complicated feelings, as well as an opportunity to learn.

Cale followed Rosalyn�s gaze to look toward the port.

This was the least destroyed port in the Whipper Kingdom because it was the smallest one and because the regular citizens used it quite frequently. However, there were not many ships going in and out of the port, and the faces of the people getting off of the few ships arriving were very gloomy. However, the faces of the people living here were bright.

�Many of the citizens who were treated like slaves at the Magic Tower live here.�

Cale could see pillars of black smoke in the distance. Civil Wars always left behind destruction in their paths.

�Young master-nim, we can move now. The carriage is prepared.�

�Great.�

Cale nodded at Billos�s statement and got off the ship. He started to speak after taking his first step into the Whipper Kingdom.

�It doesn�t smell that good.�

Cale sniffed the musky smell of the burnt and destroyed buildings as he headed to the residence Billos had prepared for him. He started to speak to Billos once he got to his room.

�You prepared quite well.�

Cale complimented Billos, who had prepared the quietest residence by the port, a carriage with the Flynn Merchant Guild crest, as well as all of the other tiny details.

Billos shrugged his shoulders as Cale asked one more thing.

�Did you make sure to do it quietly without others knowing about it?�

�Isn�t that only natural?�

Cale smiled and responded back after seeing the greedy gaze in Billos�s eyes.

�I knew I liked you.�

�You as well, young master-nim.�

Cale leaned on the couch as he casually asked.

�Victory?�

Billos slowly nodded his head with a sincere expression. JrNovels.com
