Han Dong fell into such a deep sleep that he missed the briefing on the various stages of the Big Expedition and the appearance of the special forces. He only woke up when he felt fully rested.
Upon waking, however, he found someone unexpected standing beside his bed.
It wasn't Captain Shaia but Mr. Black White wearing the White Mask, in his daytime alter ego.
Considering Han Dong was staying in the royal quarter, let alone sleeping in Duchess Shaia's bed, it was clear that Mr. Black White's entrance had not been an ordinary one.
For some reason, Han Dong felt uneasy under Mr. Black White's gaze – it reminded him of being caught in the act. He didn't even have the chance to say goodbye to his teacher before he spent the whole night by Captain Shaia's side and the Big Expedition set off.
"Master…"
"It seems Shaia has given you some opportunities and special privileges. I'm here specifically to discuss some things with you."
"Yes."
