Choi Han nodded his head and quietly mumbled to himself.

��Must have been your first time facing potential death.�

Ha. One of the soldiers let out a gasp.

Ha! Cale let out a loud gasp as if he was completely shocked.

�First time facing potential death my ass. Do you know how nervous I�ve been the last few days because of you?�

That wasn�t even it. Ron�s smile as Choi Han brought back the rabbits, the sight of Beacrox sharpening his cooking knife, Cale was also nervous because of them. Cale started to think about all of the nervous moments he has had since they left the Henituse territory.

�Now I really have no appetite.�

He had lost all of his appetite. Clang. The spoon in Cale�s hand just fell onto the soup bowl. That was why he didn�t realize that the soldiers were looking at him with an understanding gaze, or that Choi Han had stopped paying attention to everyone around him as he nostalgically thought about the past.

�Cale-nim.�

�What?�

Cale was thinking about how he didn�t need to be so nervous anymore because he managed to avoid getting beaten up and also got the Indestructible Shield, when Choi Han�s voice snapped him back to reality.

�Why does he keep talking to me?�

�The first time is always difficult to handle.�

�What are you talking about?�

As Cale stoically asked back, Choi Han had a slight smile on his face before he asked in a stoic expression. The gaze in his eyes was extremely serious.

�Cale-nim, do you not study any martial arts?�

�No need.�

�Shouldn�t you at least have the strength to protect yourself?�

There was concern in that seriousness. Cale wondered why Choi Han was suddenly becoming so serious, but decided to answer the question anyways.

�I have plenty of ways already.�

Cale took his gaze off of Choi Han and looked around. 15 soldiers who were stronger than him, and 5 knights who would do well no matter where they went. There were only a few servants aside from them, but Ron, Beacrox, the two kittens, and even deputy butler Hans were much stronger than himself.

Cale made eye contact with each of the people before turning back to Choi Han to ask.

�You can see them too, right?�
