"So, who are you really?" Barrow asked, Cale saw a glint from his eyes.
"I am Cale Henituse," Cale answered.
"I already know that, I mean what are you? Do you know me?" Barrow asked again, Cale noticed he was certainly panicking. The redhead tilted his head to feign ignorance.
"I am not sure if I am following, you said you are the Queen's friend," Cale answered, looking innocent as ever.
Am I overlooking all these things? Barrow thought as he sighed which made the other redhead flinch. He then looked at Cale and he noticed that the younger one was making an uneasy expression.
"I'm sorry about that. I thought of something, nevermind what I just said," Barrow smiled as he reached out his hand to the anxious redhead.
"I apologize if I scared you," he added as he gently caressed his head until he reached his cheek. Cale fidgeted from the sudden touch as he could feel the coldness of the White Star's skin.
What a coward, you will be reduced to this if someone somehow managed to know who you are, Cale thought.
Cale Barrow formed an emotional attachment to Cale Henituse. The thought of killing him was something he couldn't do. When he thought his orders had killed Cale three years ago almost made him crazy, if not for the guidance of the Sealed God he might have gone berserk. He was certainly glad Cale wasn't what he thought of.
I wished to be the closest person to you, Cale Barrow thought as he withdrew his hand.
The two came back to the banquet hall. Cale mentioned he would be resigning early, Barrow never wanted to let him go. He wanted to keep Cale to himself away from everyone and anything. He would spoil him and give him everything he wanted. May it be money, sweets or people, he could give it to him. But Cale Henituse could never be detained. He could never be chained in one place. If Cale Barrow did lock up Cale Henituse somewhere within his reach, he would lose his brilliance. To keep Cale shining he needed to be free.
Barrow escorted Cale to bid farewell to the Queen. He wanted to escort him back but there was an urgent matter he needed to attend to.
Cale Henituse excused himself and went to the place where the four would be waiting for him. As soon as he spotted the fiery head of his red dragon, he beamed and ran towards their location.
"Cale, your people said the mission is a success! Everything went back to the way it is," Youna reported.
"That's good. Now that I touched theirs, dead mana will never come back to those places so you can also rest assured Whitira-noona," Cale said and turned to the whales.
"And oh, here, this is the sample dead mana I got from purifying everything. You can have it," Cale added as he took out a bottle from his spatial bag and gave it to Whitira.
"How did you even manage to get this amidst that?" Whitira asked. Cale just shrugged.
"We owe you Young Master Cale, don't worry you and Father's agreement would be in effect once we get back," Whitira said as she gently patted Cale's head.
Youna escorted the whales back and Cale strolled around the town. The festivities continued and nobody noticed the presence of dead mana in their kingdom. He came back to the inn safely and the children in his care with his siblings welcomed him.
"Did you have fun, Orabeoni?" Lily asked, still hugging his waist.
"Well, I did have fun," Cale answered after looking back at what happened.
"Did they do something to offend you or some sort, Hyung?" Basen asked. Cale patted his head.
"They didn't, they were actually nice and friendly!" Cale answered.
