�Wouldn�t it be appropriate for me to make sure our puppy young master safely arrives at the capital and safely leaves as my final duty as his servant?�

He claimed to others while laughing that he would be by the young master�s side because he found Cale�s scared expression to be funny, but would an assassin ever tell the truth to others?

�I should tell Beacrox to make food that our little puppy young master will like during the journey.�

Cale was someone he looked after even more than his own son, Beacrox. Ron knew very well about the terrible things Cale has done, and the terrible personality that Cale had. However, there was someone else he knew.

Ron remembered how the young Cale had consoled his father when his mother died. He also saw how Cale hated his stepmother and her family, but never caused a ruckus with them, even when he was drunk.

�But he definitely is still trash, tsk.�

18 years. Ron had watched over Cale for too long.

Cale returned to his chamber immediately after returning to the estate, only to find the two baby kittens staring up at him.

�Ah, I forgot about the two of you.�

He should have brought Choi Han, who cherishes small animals. Choi Han had returned to his own room after saying that his heart needed to become stronger to be someone who protects.

When Cale laughed and asked who Choi Han was going to protect, Choi Han responded that he would let Cale know once he became stronger. That answer gave Cale the chills. Cale didn�t know why someone as strong as Choi Han would want to become even stronger.

�Young master.�

Hans approached Cale as he was staring at the kittens.

�Young master, what do you think? Aren�t they even cuter, lovelier, and more adorable now? They are so mean though, they wouldn�t even let me pet them. Haha!�

Hans crouched next to the kittens and looked up at Cale with satisfaction. His expression was so full of admiration that it surprised Cale and Ron. His expression was not related to the cuteness of the kittens.

�Don�t you agree?�

This strong butler candidate seems to like cats very much.

�Oh, um, I guess so.�

The two kittens, that were sitting on a silk cushion that came from who knows where, definitely looked fuller and healthier. What kind of magic did this deputy butler do in that short amount of time? However, the two kittens continued to avoid Hans�s gaze. It seemed to be a very stereotypical relationship between a butler and a cat.

�Then I will be heading out now, young master. Please call me if there is anything you need for the kitten-nims.�

�Just go.�

After verifying that Ron got Hans to leave, Cale avoided the sparkling eyes of the kittens as he went into the bathroom. At that moment, the kittens� ears fell down.
