A different fate

Cahpter 39 crown prince

Smile.

Albrue smiled quite gently at Cale who was laying in bed.

"You can head out now."

"Yes, your highness."

Crown prince Alberu sent out the priest who just sat there filling the time without doing any actual treatment on Cale before turning to make eye contact with Cale. Cale had an expression of awe that the crown prince came to visit, until the door closed and Alberu started to speak.

"That expression of yours is giving me the chills."

"Thank you very much."

Cale returned to his usual relaxed expression. Al-beru seemed to find that more bearable as he sat on a chair next to the bed Cale was laying on looking like a patient.

"I have said that you are currently resting. I said that you got up at the plaza even though it was difficult so that you could help calm things down like a proper noble."

Alberu started to smile before adding on.

"Since you revealed that you possess an ancient power at the plaza, I played along and said you have a defensive ancient power that is not very strong. That is what you wanted, right?"

"Mm."

Cale pretended to contemplate as he responded back.

"A young noble who is weak but stepped forward for the kingdom. It's nice."

"Indeed."

Cale preferred it this way that people thought he was 'not very strong. It wasn't a lie, he really was weak.

"By tomorrow, any information about rumors about you and the current situation will be delivered to you through your butler. Make sure to take a look."

Prince Alberu was definitely treating Cale differently than he had treated Choi Han in the novel. He didn't have even an ounce of a warm smile and just had a stoic expression. It was as if he was dealing with someone he didn't want to deal with because he needed to do so.

That was how Cale wanted it to be.

Cale made eye contact with the crown prince who was staring at him. Prince Alberu started to frown after seeing Cale's relaxed demeanor and started to think for a bit before he finally said what was on his mind.

"By the way."

This extremely hesitant attitude made it seem like he was expecting something. Cale just waited patiently as this was rare to see from the crown prince.

While Cale was waiting, the Black Dragon who had woken up from his nap underneath the bed started to talk to Cale in his mind.

- Now I am certain. He is not human......

The crown prince asked his question at the same
time.

"You are human, right?"

-Probably a dark elf.

What was going on? A straight and a hook landed on him at the same time. Cale suddenly wished he really was hurt.

Prince Alberu could see that Cale Henituse suddenly had an expression of disbelief as Cale answered back.

"I am human?"

It was an expression that seemed to be asking why the prince was asking such a stupid question. Alberu subconsciously let out a sigh.

"Sigh. Right, of course you are human."

Cale could see Alberu point at both of them before continuing to speak.
