The fear that crept up starting from their ankles slowly filled the nobles’ entire bodies. The southeast region and central region's factions realized that something was wrong.
Crown prince Alberu started to speak at that moment.
“If we look through history, the citizens who survive a war cry thinking about how they managed to survive while the people in power start a new battle to fight for power.”
The crown prince’s gaze headed toward the nobles of the southeast region and central region.
“People easily get delusional.”
He was sitting with his chin in his hand as he looked right at the Marquis and Duke.
“They think that they will survive even though the war is not yet over. It's quite funny yet pitiful.”
Marquis Sand Ailan avoided the crown prince’s gaze and closed his eyes.
Deep wrinkles appeared on his face.
He had been had.
He thought that he had set up a trap to suppress Cale Henituse, but it was the opposite.
This was a trap to choke him.
Marquis Sand Ailan opened his eyes back and looked around the hall.
Why would the southwest region and the northwest region take the crown's side?
‘I guess Taylor Stan makes sense.’
The eldest son of the former Marquis Stan. It was said that his legs were healed thanks to the crown prince. It was a good enough reason to develop a bond with the crown prince.
However, the Gyerre household had been against the crown prince.
Marquis Ailan made eye contact with Duchess Sonata Gyerre.
Smirk.
The old noble smiled toward the Marquis. She then turned her head to look toward Cale Henituse.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))
‘...That old hag!’
Marquis Sand Ailan bit down on his lips.
That old woman was supporting Cale Henituse and not the crown.
The Marquis let out a deep sigh. He heard the crown prince continuing to speak.
“You’ll have to do something if you want to survive.”
The crown prince called out to Cale for support.
“Isn’t that right, commander?”
Cale slowly nodded his head.
“Yes, your highness.”
Although it sounded as if only the two of them were chatting, not many other people could speak right now.
“With that being said, I don’t think there’s any reason for me to be here anymore since I am finished with my report.”
Marquis Sand Ailan flinched before looking toward Cale.
‘He's leaving? Already? He’s not going to stay to see the results?’
The Marquis could not understand why Cale would leave without hearing about the results of the Caro Kingdom business. He observed Cale's face to see if he could notice anything until Cale's next words clarified it for him.
“The rest is up to the nobles and I do not have any say as I am not a noble.”
Cale was a commander but he was still just a young master who had not received his father’s title.
However, his gaze was still looking down at them while he said that he did not have the qualifications.
“Mm.”
The Marquis let out a groan.
That was a warning and a treat.
It was a warning that he would be waiting to see what kind of decision the nobles ended up making. The Marquis could feel a headache brewing inside.
“Then, goodbye.”
Cale casually said goodbye.
“I am leaving now in order to survive.”
The nobles were quiet and the crown prince gave him permission to leave.
Cale leisurely turned away from the nobles and headed for the entrance.
‘The Dominating Aura truly is best to scam or scare people.’
His footsteps were light as he managed to take care of this annoying business earlier than he had expected. Of course, only he knew the lightness of his footsteps.
- I will remember the faces of that Marquis and Duke.
Cale almost flinched at Raon's mumblings but just let it go as he stood in front of the door.
He then happily pushed the door open.
Screeech- Bang!
The door opened with a loud noise.
‘Eek!’
Cale gasped but made it so nobody would notice.
Choi Han and Mary were standing right outside the door.
He had told them to stay outside the door, but he did not expect they would be right outside of it. Cale had to calm his heart.
He then started to move quickly.
Tap. Tap.
Cale's hands landed on Mary and Choi Han’s shoulders.
It would be bad if Choi Han started to speak and acted terribly or if Mary used her GPS-like voice and said something nice.
Cale then took his hand off of their shoulders and started to speak.
“Let’s go.”
The two started to follow Cale who walked forward without looking back.
That was why he was unable to see all of Choi Han and Mary's movements.
“Mm.”
The Marquis subconsciously clenched onto the arm rest.
Cale Henituse. The two people in black who were standing outside the door.
One was a man with black hair and black eyes while the other was wearing a black robe that made it impossible to see any part of their face or body.
Those two were probably the sword master and the necromancer.
Seeing the two of them wearing black as well made the Marquis feel chills down his back.
The two of them slowly started to move after the commander’s order to, ‘let’s go.’
The Marquis could see Cale Henituse leaving without any regrets.
Furthermore, he could see the sword master and necromancer who were looking around the hall.
Choi Han and Mary looked around the hall as they slowly turned around to follow behind Cale.
Mary’s black robe made it so that the nobles could not see her gaze that was full of curiosity and wariness. She took a quick look around before following behind Cale.
The child’s eyes sparkled.
The carriage window slowly lowered as if it understood the child's thoughts.
“Wow!”
Necromancer.
He could see the necromancer wearing a black robe. The child cheered for this hero he had never seen before.
“···Huh?”
However, his face was full of confusion.
He could not see him.
He felt as if there should be one more person in the carriage and that it would be Commander Cale-nim. However, the Commander-nim did not show himself.
Naturally, this was because Cale did not want to show himself.
“Young master-nim, they are all calling for you.”
“Mary, they are calling you too.”
There were cheers for the necromancer in the crowd as well. Of course, there weren’t as many as the cheers for Choi Han, however, nobody was cursing her.
‘His highness said that he would take care of it.’
Cale felt as if the crown prince had done something.
He had told Cale not to worry as they would only receive cheers during this progression. Cale had not asked about it because it was annoying.
“Still.”
Cale pretended not to see the hesitating Mary as he leaned back into the chair.
“Young master Shield-nim!”
“Commander Silver Light-nim!”
“Haaaa.”
He could not help but sigh.
‘Can't they stop with these cheesy nicknames?’
It was at that moment.
“Excuse me, young master-nim.”
“I'm not looking outside.”
He bluntly responded back but Mary hesitated for a moment before continuing to speak. Even Raon who was invisible started to speak.
“Young master-nim, one child is desperately calling for you.”
- Weak human! It is the same child who shook his shield for you last time! I thought he would grow well and he did grow quite a bit in just a few months!
‘Damn it.’
Cale frowned quite a bit before moving toward Mary's side. He then peeked out the window.
‘Aigoo.’
He could see the child who had an even fancier shield than last time.
Cale remembered this child.
‘You won’t be cool at all if you are like me.’
‘Take after your father instead. Only your parents are cool enough to hug you and lift you up like this.’
This child had made him speak nonsense as he was nervous.
Cale looked toward the father-son duo who shook their shields fervently once they made eye contact with him before moving back to a corner of the carriage.
He then put his hand up to his face.
The number of shields had increased.
He could see people with silver shields, swords painted black, and even some wearing black robes as they cheered.
However, the number of shields was more than the others.
‘...Damn it.
What if the shield becomes even more trendy?’
Cale's expression turned serious. He turned to the side to see Mary. He knew Choi Han would be looking cool as he walked in the front as well.
‘I need to make sure to show off the two of them this time.
If I do that and make the Dark Elves heroes as a group...
If we manage an overwhelming victory...
They will definitely forget about me.’
Cale who had heard about the number of troops heading toward the Caro Kingdom from Guardian Knight Clopeh dilligently, no, desperately thought about it over and over.
‘Let’s take a back seat this time. Let’s use less of my power this time. Let’s not use the shield if I don't have to.
Those were the thoughts in his head as he teleported to the Caro Kingdom and had to greet someone.
“Oh, I knew you would be here now. Long time no see.”
Cale was shocked.
The Caro Kingdom had requested reinforcements from the Roan Kingdom as well as the Mogoru Empire, the nation closest to them.
The two nations naturally agreed to send reinforcements.
Cale had thought about the reinforcements the Empire would send.
He was quite curious as to how the Empire would act and what kind of reinforcements they would send, since the Empire was on the same side as the Indomitable Alliance.
However, this person was not in his calculations.
“...Have you been well, your highness, Imperial Prince-nim?”
The Mogoru Empire’s Imperial Prince Adin was smiling at Cale who was standing on top of the teleportation magic circle.
‘Why is this bastard here?
What about the Empire? Don't you need to defend the Empire?’
Cale was flabbergasted.
The Imperial Prince smiled as he responded back.
“Of course. Congratulations on the Roan Kingdom’s victory.”
Cale held back a scoff.
‘Been well my ass.
You’ve probably been unable to sleep in anger after seeing the Roan Kingdom’s victory.’
He didn’t need to see it to know that this two-faced bastard was angry about it.
However, Cale smiled back toward the Imperial Prince. It was unexpected that he ran into the Imperial Prince here at the Caro Kingdom.
“Have you been well, young master Cale?”
Cale responded back to the Imperial Prince happier than ever.
“Yes, your highness. I can stretch my legs and sleep well at night thanks to our victory.”
Cale could see the corner of the Imperial Prince's lips shaking a bit.
He felt good doing this.
His smile became wider thinking about how there will be many other things in the future that would make him feel good.
- Weak human, it’s been a while since you've smiled like this! Are you about to scam someone?
‘Scam? No. I'm just smiling.’
Cale simply let Raon’s comments in one ear and out the other.
