A Chance towards Happiness

Chapter twenty-nine: Great misunderstandings may lead to another mess

The banquet continued after what happened and Cale had to rest in one of the parlors in the palace. A handmade cookie by the King and a calming tea was waiting for him there. He slumped on the couch and consumed the snacks given to him. Then, he fell asleep.

Cale had a nice dream when he suddenly heard some buzzing sounds near him. He slowly opened his eyes only to see the prince from Caro Kingdom and the first princess of the Breck Kingdom. Cale slowly sat up and stretched his body, his actions were unbefitting for a noble to act in front of the royals.

"Who are you?" Cale asked sleepily. He was still half-asleep.

"Sorry, it seems we have woken you up. I am Valentino, the crown prince from Caro Kingdom," Valentino introduced.

"I am Rosalyn from the Breck Kingdom," Rosalyn followed. Cale groggily looked at them.

"Hmn? The kind prince and the princess mage?" The redhead asked. The two were surprised, especially Rosalyn. Nobody knew about her practice of magic except for her teacher.

"I am honored to be considered as a kind prince, Young Master Cale," Valentino smiled.

"Hmn. What are you doing here? I am currently resting," Cale said, he really disregarded the fact that he was in front of a royal however the two didn't mind.

"We are actually here to get to know the Young Master better. Your views in life are different from a lot of people. You are still young and yet, you manage to make the adults think and question their perspective. It amazed me," Valentino praised.

"It's the bare minimum and I don't blindly follow old rules. I questioned and critically analyzed it before I came up with my final judgment. I especially don't like the discriminatory factors in each rules," Cale responded.

"Is that so, the Young Master is really kind," Rosalyn said.

"Kind? Me? I don't think so," Cale refuted.

Both royals chuckled.

"Are you going to stay here?" Cale asked.

"Not really, since the Young Master is an interesting person I would like to make friends with you," Valentino said.

I don't want to, though, Cale thought. However, he wanted to rest so he decided to agree. The redhead took something in his spatial pocket, a highest grade gemstone and manastone.

Cale handed Rosalyn the highest grade manastone and the highest grade gemstone to Valentino. The two royals gave him a confused look, Rosalyn was actually more surprised than confused. The highest grade manastone was rare and expensive but the young noble just gave it to her for free.

"This is my friendship token, you said you wanted to be my friend so here," Cale said.

Both royals smiled.

"You really are an interesting person, Young Master Cale," Rosalyn smiled.

"I am not, if you don't have anything to say I will appreciate it if you leave me here alone," Cale responded.

Both royals chuckled and they left him to rest. Rosalyn has a good judge of character and the moment she saw him, she knew he was different from everyone else. The red-haired princess looked at the highest grade manastone in her hand and smiled.

He must have known I use magic, Rosalyn said.

Valentino and Rosalyn came back to where their family was. Then, Adin who was quietly observing everything as he smiled to the people talking with him, elegantly exited and went to where Cale Henituse was.
