Chapter: 700
�Really?�
�But the sword has many scratches on it, like you swung it down on firewood or something?�
�Yes! That is it!�
Lily answered very respectfully as she avoided Cale�s gaze. She then quickly added on.
�And I have finished my knight training for the day! So I am going to play! I received mother�s approval, so I am going out for one hour! I am only going to the alley with the restaurants nearby, so I will be safe!�
The 7-year-old explained the situation in detail to Cale. She must have felt guilty, even though Cale just looked at her and never asked for an explanation.
�Okay. Have fun. See you at dinner.�
�Yes, yes sir!� (Lily is being very respectful to Cale, and, �sir,� was the best equivalent to use in English. )
Cale motioned for her to go, and Lily looked back a couple times as she quickly started to run toward the restaurant alley. The staff of the estate frequently ate at the alley, so it was both cheap and clean.
Cale got back on the carriage and started to think.
�Something is suspicious.�
Didn�t she seem like the stereotypical youngest child of a wealthy family who found a hidden expert to serve as a master in the woods? Cale made eye contact with Ron, whose left arm still needed about two weeks to be completed.
�Look into it.�
�Yes, young master-nim.�
He didn�t need to explain to Ron for him to understand. The sly old man who had lived in this world longer than he had seemed to be having the same suspicions as Cale.
Countess Violan had probably looked into Lily already, but it was better for him to do his own investigation. Cale confirmed the details of the cooking competition before returning to the estate with the schedule in his hand.
An unexpected person greeted him at the door.
�Basen.�
�Hyung-nim.�
�Mm, were you waiting for me?�
Basen did not respond to Cale�s question, instead, he just opened up the file in his hands and started to speak. Cale could not even walk through the door as he stood there watching what Basen was doing.
�Hyung-nim, I heard you will be staying home during the festival.�
�That is correct.�
�Would it be possible for you to present the awards for the competitions?� JrNovels.com
