Chapter 65.5
Just that sentence and nothing else. However, that sentence struck Alberu properly. Alberu was curious about this confident attitude of Cale’s and asked.
- But why is it that you want the Magic Tower?
Cale noticed that the crown prince seemed to be observing him again. He really was a difficult person to handle, but there was no reason to be so worried.
I’m sure he wants to know if I know about the North”
There was an existence that was a source of concern for the Roan Kingdom in the novel, the Northern Kingdom of Knights. Crown prince Alberu was wary of that kingdom while preparing for their invasion.
War is a time of chaos, and chaos will provide opportunities for the prepared. One of those opportunities was the mages running away from the Whipper Kingdom.
The crown prince, who didn’t have much influence in the kingdom, would use them to strengthen his power and increase his influence inside the kingdom.
If Kim Rok Soo had read past the fifth volume of, ‘The Birth of a Hero,’ he would probably know the two powers that develop as new heroes. One would be a knight from the North.
‘And the other would probably be the crown prince in front of him right now.’
Especially because the Black Dragon told him that the crown prince was not human. Cale started to smile. The crown prince was trying to figure out whether Cale knew about the North’s movement and wanted the Magic Tower for that reason.
“I just want to own a Magic Tower.”
-.. I shouldn’t have asked.
Alberu could see the sly smirk on Cale’s face as he shook his head.
“Then why is it that your highness needs the mages?”
Alberu started to smirk in a similar manner.
- I just want to give them a home.
Both answers were terrible excuses, but neither of them called each other out. The two people who were both sitting back casually like they were part of a painting just continued to chat with each other.
- When do you plan to head out?
“I plan to go in about a month.”
One month later. Cale would be finished with his preparations and head to the Whipper Kingdom at that moment. The Civil War would be close to ending by the time he arrived at the Whipper Kingdom. Toonka’s stupid face seemed to be shining gold in Cale’s mind.
- How will you get there?
“By ship.”
- And your guards?
Guards. That word made Cale start to smile and Alberu realized his mistake.
- I guess that was a useless question. Cale, make sure you are careful since your body is still weak. You know what to do, right?
“I will bring back any and all good things.”
- Sometimes we really are on the same page for no reason.
Cale and Alberu, although the two of them were very different people, the smirks on their faces looked so similar right now.
Three weeks later.
Cale slowly opened his eyes and started to roll around. He rolled around his large bed and started to yawn.
It was 3pm. He had just gotten up. He started to rub his eyes and looked up at the ceiling.
“I win! He woke up one hour later today!”
“Our youngest wins again. I really don’t know why he keeps waking up later and later.”
The Black Dragon and Hong looked back and forth between Cale and the clock while chatting with each other. Cale rubbed his belly with his right hand. He had only gotten up because he was hungry.
“...Ah, the life of a rich person who doesn’t have to work.”
This was the definition of happiness.
Cale had not done anything for the past three weeks.
He had come up with a name for the dragon, but asked for another month to think about it, and ordered other people to take care of all of the things he needed to prepare for the trip. He slept early and woke up late every day, just fooling and rolling around doing nothing inside the house. It was great that his family kept telling him to rest to recover. So he listened to them and did absolutely nothing.
But Cale’s happiness finally shattered.
“Human, it looks like Choi Han is back.”
The Black Dragon whispered in Cale’s ear as he smiled.
“This is great. I have been so bored lately.”
Cale sat up on the bed with a stoic expression.
Choi Han’s group was supposed to arrive today. Since it was 3pm, they were probably already here and waiting for him.
Cale stretched before getting up from the bed. These past three weeks of doing nothing resolved his mind even more.
‘Make money so I can do nothing forever.’
Cale’s eyes looked very determined. He decided that he would take care of the Whipper Kingdom and the Queen of the Jungle at once so that he could sit around doing nothing again. Cale headed into the bathroom while the Black Dragon approached Hong once he saw the door close.
“The weak human’s eyes only seem full of spirit whenever he is going somewhere.”
“You’re right. But I’m glad that I am stronger now. I can make sure he does not get hurt.”
The silver kitten On who had been listening to the Black Dragon’s conversation with Hong had an odd expression on her face. She thought about the smile on Cale’s face as he rolled around the bed and mumbled to herself.
“Are you sure it is full of spirit?”
“Yes. I am right.”
“Noona, it definitely is.”
“Mm, I guess so.”
On finally agreed and brushed her fur. On and Hong’s furs were much brighter now. The three of them sat around waiting for Cale to come out. They were looking forward to heading out of the house again after such a long time.
