What if Cale turned into a child? (Trash of the Count's Family Fanfiction)

What if Cale turned into a child? (10)

He was carried by Eruhaben last night to the chairs that's why he didn't have to struggle but right now, Cale really wished his body is that of at least 10-year-old or just give his adult body back. Before he could even attempt to give a command to Ron to get something he can step on to help him reach the chair, the butler had already carried Cale and carefully placed him on the chair, also putting a napkin on his lap before he proceeded to cut the meat into bite sizes that Cale can chew on easily.

Cale who watched this with a slight hesitation sighed inwardly before speaking, "Thank you, Ron."

Ron's smile widened before he slightly bowed his head, "You're welcome, young master-nim. Please eat, since you haven't eaten breakfast."

Cale nodded to his words and started to eat. The two children were eating with him too. Raon had placed a whole apple pie on the table before he started eating earlier saying that Cale should eat it all and grow up faster. Cale felt like he's really going to stay as a child that looks like 4 years old. What more, Raon would be even taller than him if the black dragon will polymorph to his human form. Cale felt disgruntled just by thinking about it.

Cale who was eating silently stopped after Ron put a glass in front of him. A glass of iced chocolate drink. This made him look up to his butler who only smiled benignly and lightly patted his head. 

'Hmm? What... what's with this old man?'

Cale had been drinking many sweet drinks since he turned into a child. The usual lemon teas weren't served to him by his assassin butler that he oddly slightly missed. He doesn't know how to react when Ron would pat him too. 

Is this perhaps the way he treated the past Cale? Cale could've sworn shivers ran down through every nerve in his body, his guard quickly soar up as he eyed the old butler suspiciously. However, even though Ron noticed the look Cale is giving him, he just smiled and stood silently next to him. 

Cale gave up thinking what's going on in Ron's head before turning to eat his meal again when the sound of a familiar device rang inside the room.

It was the video communication device that Raon quickly took out from his spatial pocket. It was glowing red, indicating that it was Alberu who's calling.

"I'm connecting him!" Raon announced before putting the device down facing Cale and continued to eat his beef steak.

And soon after, the Emperor's face floated on top of the device. Alberu was in his office and was dressed in more majestic clothing, this made Cale wonder if his hyung-nim is going to an important meeting later or it just ended. But he decided to keep the trivial question to himself and smiled ever so bright.

"Your Majesty, the only Sun of our great Empire. Your radiance and magnificence is radiating that it reaches our humble tewwitory-"

Cale had to cut himself off and closed his lips tight with a frown on his face. He lisped, just when he's activating his glib tongue to annoy the Emperor. Cale's cheeks turned light pink before he faked a cough and fixed his facial emotions, opening his lips, ready to pour in more praises towards Alberu.

But he once again closed his lips when he saw how Alberu was smiling so peacefully and with amusement painted on his face, Cale couldn't help but frown. Noting that his face looks like he's one of those typical spoiled young masters who just got offended for a trivial matter.  

Alberu's smile widened witnessing this. He had heard what happened last midnight. He find it hard to believe how Choi Han described Cale's situation to him this morning. They had witnessed Cale cry once when he woke up after fainting and sleeping for over 3 weeks straight, and absentmindedly crying with a sorrowful smile painting his lips. But after that, there were none of the situations where Cale showed intense emotions like how Choi Han described.
