Chapter 47.5

“Let me know if you need anything.” “Yes, please do. We will get you whatever it is.” Cale just nodded his head and asked. “Sounds like you are not just here to check in on me?” Eric, Amiru and Gilbert exchanged glances after hearing Cale’s question. After seeing Amiru and Gilbert nod their heads, Eric took a document out of his pocket and handed it to Cale. “This is the updated request for the Northeastern shoreline tourism investment. We brought it with us since we were heading to the palace to see you.” Cale turned the first page of the document. The first word on the next page was Navy. Gilbert also seemed to have made up his mind. Cale peeked toward Amiru who smiled at him. Based on Eric’s actions, it looked like Amiru kept it a secret like Cale had asked. “The news will soon reach the Henituse territory along with our proposal.” “I see. Then will you be meeting with the crown prince?” “Yes. We are scheduled to meet him tonight. We can only start moving if he shows any interest in it.” Cale looked toward Amiru and Gilbert and casually started to speak. “I’m sure it will work out.” His voice was full of confidence. It was because he was sure. Eric and the others felt a sense of relief after hearing Cale’s statement. Cale waved the document in front of the three of them and started to speak. “You can send such documents like this via a servant in the future. I know it is difficult for you to come visit, so you do not need to come.” “No, we will continue to come. You need to know about it as well.” Cale just casually nodded his head at Eric, Gilbert and Amiru and then sent them out. It was difficult to greet people while leaning on his bed wearing a patient robe. That was why Cale kicked the blanket away and comfortably welcomed the next group. He started to speak to Choi Han who was standing there like a sinner. “Go.” Rosalyn bit down on her lips. She had removed her magic and was standing there with her original red eyes and red hair. She also got rid of her robe and was in formal attire. “I’m sorry, young master Cale. But I need Choi Han and Lock.” Now that Rosalyn revealed herself in the palace, she needed to return to the Breck Kingdom as fast as possible. Since it was revealed that she was still alive, the people who attempted to kill her may start to hide the evidence. But she could not go back on her own. This incident revealed that she was a very skilled mage, which meant that the enemy will make sure to have stronger forces when attacking her. That was why she needed strong allies. Lock was standing by the door just fidgeting without approaching Cale. Cale looked at Choi Han and Lock before speaking as if it was only natural. “What are you sorry about? Miss Rosalyn, you helped us out with a very difficult situation. Then we should help you out as well.” Rosalyn could see that Cale was smiling. “Miss Rosalyn is Lock’s noona and Choi Han’s friend.” “...Thank you for putting it that way.” Rosalyn may have been close to death because of the assassination attempt, but she was certain that this was going to be her turning point. Cale took a step forward and looked at Choi Han. “Cale-nim, I have to protect you.” “Choi Han.” Choi Han needed to go in order for Cale to rest in peace and prepare to hide during the war. Choi Han could see Cale’s uniquely relaxed smile. “I will not die.” ‘I plan on making a ton of money and getting just strong enough to run away as needed to live peacefully. I’m going to do everything I can to live as long as possible.’ Cale was also thinking that with the Black Dragon by his side, there was no reason for Choi Han to protect him. In fact, in front of the Black Dragon, Choi Han himself was just baggage. “I see. I worried for no reason.” Cale turned away from Choi Han who looked a bit better and looked toward Lock. He then flicked his finger to call Lock over to him. Lock flinched at Cale’s motion before slowly approaching. Why was this coward so scared? However, Cale had no plan to give any thought to such reaction. “Lock, I will take care of your younger siblings. Go and come back to the Henituse territory in 3 months.” “...Excuse me?” “What is the excuse me for? Did you forget about our deal?” “Ah.” Cale thought about how he was going to use Lock as Lock blankly stared at him. He then handed Lock a map. It was a map of the Northeast territory that he got from Hans. “Henituse. Come to the one that’s marked like that. I will be there with your younger siblings, so you must come back.” “...Somewhere to return to-” Cale didn’t care for the mumbling Lock and clenched Lock’s shoulder as he started to speak. Lock needed to come back for Cale’s life to be easier. “Yes, somewhere to return to. Remember. You must return within 3 months.” “Yes- yes sir! I will definitely come back within 3 months.” After taking care of Lock’s issue to the point that Lock vigorously nodded his head, Cale felt a sense of relief. The story from the novel was twisted quite a bit already, but at least the major point was flowing as it was supposed to. This was good because he would know more about the future the more the story followed the novel. Cale was disappointed that he could not send Beacrox with the mas well, but he could always send Beacrox with Ron after Ron came back from his time off. Cale laid down on the bed with a more relaxed heart than ever before as he proceeded to look at the people around his room. He then turned to look at Hans who had opened the door and entered. Hans looked at Choi Han who was protecting the door like a knight, then at Lock who was playing with the kittens, then at Rosalyn who was leisurely reading a book about magic, and finally Cale who was relaxing on the bed. He then quietly approached Cale and whispered. “There is a rumor going around that his majesty wants to bestow a medal to you, young master.” Everybody in the room stopped moving after hearing what Hans had to say. Hans then quietly handed Cale a document. It was a document that contained the rumors going on about the Plaza Terror Incident. Cale had just one reaction after reading the first line. “Haaaaaa.” It was a deep sigh. He had expected it, but it was still so very annoying.
