�What�s wrong? Are you scared about destroying the World Tree after seeing how strong I am?�

Elisneh started to smile.
It was because Cale looked tired. He was also frowning as if he had a lot to worry about.

�Stop worrying-�
�Why?�

Cale started to speak.
He ruffled his hair and brusquely asked as if he was frustrated.

�Why do you keep asking why I am planning on destroying the World Tree? Huh? Do you really think I�ll destroy it?�

Cale had no intention of destroying the fake World Tree nor leaving it behind.

��What?�

Cale�s right hand was moving toward his shirt as Elisneh asked in shock.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiip-!

He ripped a badge off his shirt.
It was his commander badge that was located next to the Henituse Duchy badge.

Smile.

Cale smiled and turned around.

�This.�

He reached his hand out and touched the black tree. Cale�s eyes then sparkled.
The black tree answered energetically.

� I�m ready! I will just trust you, Commander-nim!

Cale�s smile became thicker.

�I will take this. Heh.�
� I�m fine being anywhere as long as it is not here! I will just trust you, Commander-nim! I trust you, sir! I trust you!

Cale ignored the fake World Tree�s passionate response while feeling thankful to Elisneh.

�She helped me remember something I had forgotten about.�

The illusion that reminded him of his life as Kim Rok Soo made him remember something he had forgotten about for a moment.
