CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO - HOW TO SAVE A DRAGON (1)

Sitting on the third floor of The Fragrance of Tea with Poetry, three youths waited patiently for their orders.

Not long after, sound of footsteps coming up the stairs were heard.

The large frame of the shop's owner came into view carrying a tray with tea and snacks.

As he approached the sweet scent of the tea reached the three waiting youths.

"Here you go young masters."

Billos put a tea each in front of them before placing a plate of cookies at the center of the table. He also placed books by the side.

"These are the books that I can recommend to the young masters. These books may not be made by new authors but I have the confidence that you will like them."

Billos explained politely.

"I see. Thank you." the youngest of the three smiled brightly at him.

Billos smiled back before bowing and leaving the three alone.

Cale looked around, there were no one else in the third floor aside from them. He glanced back at his brother.

Cade is now flipping through one of the books delivered to them by the owner while sipping his tea. Choi Han is also doing the same. It seemed that the black haired boy thinks that this is just a normal outing.

But Cale knew better. With Cade, there is almost no normal outing.

He silently sighed to himself before picking up his cup of tea. The aroma relaxed him a bit and enticed him with its sweet smell. He picked up one of the books too and started to read.

An hour and a half into their stay and two cups of tea later Cale heard the sound of a chair dragging as his brother stood up.

Both Cale and Choi Han looked up at him.

"Are we leaving now?" Cale asked.

Cade shook his head.

"Not yet."

They saw the owner coming up the stairs again carrying new cups of tea for them. He stopped in front of their table and addressed Cade.

"Do you need something else young master?" he curiously asked.

Cade smiled at him. "Yes. I indeed need something else."

"Something else other than tea and books?" Billos tilted his head to the side.

"Something else other than tea and books." Cade looked straight at Billos' eyes as he answered.

Billos stared for a minute before nodding his head.

"I see. Then please follow me."

He turned around and lead them down the stairs to a private room on the first floor.

Once seated, Billos once again served them some tea and pastries.

"What can I do for the young masters?" Billos asked as he settled on the arm chair facing Cade and the others.

"Hmm. Do you have any idea who we are now?"

Instead of answering the question Cade asked his own.

Billos contemplated for a while before answering again.

"What are you talking about young master?"
