I didn’t do much, Raon-nim.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The children averaging nine-years-old looked even more relieved after seeing his demeanor and energetically exited the tent. They seemed excited that they had a mission to complete for the first time in a long while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alberu quietly observed them before turning toward Cage and Jack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I hope that you two could bring some people over as well, priest-nims.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, of course!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saint Jack urgently jumped up from his seat. He had a bright expression on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, Cage’s expression that had been bright until a moment ago seemed a bit odd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...Who should we bring over?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alberu started to speak to respond to her question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please bring Miss Rosalyn.

Thank you very much. It looks like we will all need to have our first meeting in a long while.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saint Jack slightly bowed to Cage and Alberu and headed out of the tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cage slowly followed behind him.

That is why... Really-”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could not continue to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was what she wanted to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Really, is young master Cale-nim really okay? Your expression seems kind of fake, your highness.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she could not ask her question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was because Alberu started to speak as she stood there unable to finish her question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’re fine. Those punks are fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cage closed her mouth after hearing his response. She then bowed and left the tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will quickly bring Miss Rosalyn over.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alberu was now left alone in the tent once Cage left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huuuuuu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alberu brushed his face with both hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could feel that his hair was still wet with sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disgusting feel of it made Alberu start to frown as he recalled what Cale said again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Then it is probably best not to tell them everything and just give them a brief positive explanation. Keep things positive, you know? It’s a simple request, right?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Keep things positive, you know?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those words kept echoing in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That damn bastard.
