Athanasia Point Of View
As night fell,Cale and I descended the staircase and met Billos. Cale spoke to Billos about something, and after that, we decided to head out to the bar. Even though I knew what Cale was planning to do, it was still interesting to witness it in person. As we entered the bar, I couldn't help but feel the gazes of people on me again. Sighing slightly, I overheard someone talking about me, marveling at the uniqueness of my light pink hair and pink eyes. Speculations arose about my relationship with the young master, wondering if I was his girlfriend or lover.
!?Panic washed over me as I realized the potential misunderstandings this could cause. What if the count had already heard these rumors?!!... This was becoming a headache......
Despite my worries, Cale seemed unfazed? and unaffected... by the gossip. He casually spoke to a man at the bar while I anxiously watched. The man then handed him a bottle of alcohol before we left the bar. athanasia sigh....
As we walked about 100 steps away from the city gate, I followed behind Cale and noticed two familiar colored hair grey and.red. I had a flashback to earlier in the morning but in cat a form. Hong and On! Cale approached them and gave them food, and I couldn't resist but to walk closer and lower my body to give them candy. The sight of the two kittens made me smile, and I gently petted them.athanasia though so Cute!!!
Cale Point of View
Cale observed me approaching the kittens, giving them candy and smiling~. He seemed to be slightly amused before his attention shifted to Choi Han, the main protagonist of "The Birth of a Hero." Cale sighed, realizing that he had twisted his ankles in an attempt to avoid crushing the cats. Nevertheless, he found Choi Han to be a nice person.
As Cale struck up a conversation with Choi Han,

I stayed with the kittens, knowing well how the interaction would play out. After a while, Choi Han followed Cale, and I stood up to bow slightly in greeting. He returned the gesture, and I couldn't help but feel nervous as we made our way to Cale's house.
Once inside, the guards greeted Cale and then turned their attention to me. My mind raced, wondering if they had already heard the rumors circulating about us. This situation was becoming more complex and tense than I ever anticipated.
As we entered the mansion, I felt the intense gaze of the servants and overheard their hushed whispers. The rumors had certainly spread like wildfire. Ron, one of the servants, greeted Cale with a slight bow, but I could sense his curiosity as his gaze shifted to me. I tried my best to maintain composure, but the chill went down my spine.... intensified when Ron's smile seemed to linger a little too long.
My attention then turned to Choi Han, who seemed to be lost in thought, possibly contemplating the peculiar spark between us. Cale and I exchanged glances, wondering if we were both imagining things or if there was indeed something between Choi Han and Ron.
With a smile, Ron offered to take care of us as guests, assuming I was one of Cale's guests. Cale, however, declined his offer, asserting that it was unnecessary. We made our way up the stairs, and I couldn't help but notice the shocked expression on
Hans Point of View
Hans' face as he looked at me. He seemed to have deduced the truth behind the rumors, realizing that I was indeed the girl accompanying Cale.
Hans' mind raced, confirming the authenticity of the rumors, particularly as he spotted me holding what appeared to be the young master's napkin. He was convinced that Cale and I were more than just acquaintances, likely interpreting us as lovers. His thoughts seemed to deepen the intrigue surrounding our relationship.
In my uncertainty, I sat on the sofa in Cale's room, waiting for him. Meanwhile, Cale and Choi Han had entered the kitchen.

Cale, in a casual manner, instructed Hans to bring two meals and a suit for women to his chamber once he was ready. As Hans left to fulfill the request, Cale headed to his room, but not before giving Choi Han some time to talk.
Deruth Point Of View
In the meantime, Count Deruth was preoccupied with thoughts about his changed son, Cale. He had noticed the transformation in Cale's demeanor and behavior. Additionally, the news of Cale being seen with a girl had reached him. Feeling intrigued and concerned, Count Deruth decided to consult his wife for her opinion on the matter.
Later that evening, in the privacy of their chambers, Count Deruth shared the details he had gathered. "My dear, I heard some rumors about Cale. It appears he has been seen at the Flynn Merchant Guild's illegitimate son's tea house, in the company of a girl and an unidentified young man."
His wife, contemplating the news, responded thoughtfully, "It seems our son is going through some changes. Young people often find their own path, but we must keep a watchful eye on him. I suggest we continue observing discreetly to understand the situation better."
Count Deruth nodded, considering his wife's counsel. "Indeed, we shall watch closely, but let us also approach Cale with care and understanding. If he has found someone special, we must be supportive. After all, we only want what's best for our son."
Athanasia Point of View
Back in Cale's room, Athanasia thanked Cale with a smile after the delicious meal.
He blushed slightly at her reaction and nodded in response. They continued to eat in contented silence, enjoying each other's company.
Once they finished eating, Athanasia mentioned that she needed to use the bathroom. Cale nodded, and she headed to the bathroom in the room. As she entered, she was surprised to find a large mirror. Looking at her reflection, she couldn't help but admire herself. "Beautiful," she mumbled, running her fingers through her light pink hair and gazing at her striking pink eyes. "Ah, so pretty," she exclaimed to herself, appreciating her unique appearance.
Athanasia then proceeded to take a bath, feeling refreshed afterward
. As she stepped out of the bathroom, she was surprised to see maids in the room, holding various clothes. Confused, she thought that Cale must have asked Hans to bring some clothes, not realizing that Cale was currently speaking with his father.
Cale Point of View
Meanwhile, Cale faced his father, Deruth, and his stepmother, Violan. Violan inquired about the girl she saw Cale with earlier, wondering who she was. Cale pretended not to know her, but he was secretly amused by Violan's assumption that she was merely an acquaintance. Deruth, on the other hand, had noticed how the girl made Cale smile, and he couldn't help but wonder if she knew Cale well.
Soon after, Cale made a bold declaration to have Athanasia by his side as. His tone was flat and matter-of-fact...
causing both Deruth and Violan to be taken aback. They exchanged glances, surprised by Cale's request. Deruth, looking into Cale's brown eyes, felt that there was something more to this girl than what met the eye. He asked Cale if he was serious, to which Cale confirmed his intentions.
,which made Deruth and Violan sigh in relief, but they couldn't help but exchange a knowing smile. Cale noticed something peculiar about their smiles, but he decided not to delve into it further. After all, he had already made up his mind, and as long as Ron's job was lightened..
Dint i say i wanted to take her as a personal maid?Cale though(No you dint not Cale)
Unbeknownst to Cale, Deruth and Violan had already assumed the two were lovers due to their close interactions and smiles. But Cale was focused on checking on Athanasia, wanting to make sure she was comfortable after her bath. He excused himself from his parents' presence, planning to return to his room and see how Athanasia was doing.
