Chapter 14: Recruiting General Ruke
The backyard of Kaal's home was adorned with Rasen flowers, known for their unique fragrance that could calm the mind of anyone nearby.
Inside the hall, three people could be seen. A boy in purple robes with jet-black hair, deep black eyes, sharp eyebrows, and a well-defined nose sat comfortably on a chair, enjoying Conor leaf tea, a brew that enhanced the body's healing ability. He also listened intently to the harmonious blend of Harp and flute music.
A red-haired girl with violet eyes, dressed in a red Chinese-style dress, exuded a mature aura. She sat gracefully, playing the Qulin with her jade-like fingers. Beside her was a pink-haired girl with pink eyes and a pure, angelic smile, skillfully playing the flute.
The music they produced didn't clash but rather complemented each other. Every note resonated in harmony, painting the atmosphere with vibrant emotion, as if a master artist had brushed the canvas of the world with joyful colors.
The peaceful atmosphere was interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps. Moments later, a servant arrived, panting as he struggled to catch his breath.
"Young master... the spy who betrayed the Kilvish Clan has been caught by the Punishment Hall. The clan leader seeks your opinion, as your life was endangered because of this traitor," said the short, midget-like servant between breaths.
"So, they finally caught him. Tell Father that I leave the decision to him," Kaal said calmly, without shifting his gaze.
"What about the message I asked you to deliver?" Kaal added, looking toward the servant.
"It will take a week to get a response due to the Poison Soul Sect's strict security," the servant replied nervously. "Also, General Ruke has caught his spy and is waiting outside."
