TBOAH reacts to TCF and SCTF

Chapter 2: SCTF - Chapter 17: Leaving Ubarr Territory, Enter drama (2nd half)

"Hyung. Sorry about - "

"What are you apologizing about? This isn't your fault, it's the council member's fault. You are just doing your best as a proud Henituse. I will entrust the territory to you, didn't I already say that." Basen lowered her head in submission, but Cale pushed his chin up. "Chin up. You are a Henituse. Never let those people tell you otherwise. You earn this position with your hard work and diligence. I certainly won't be able to pull off what you did. Be proud of yourself and your achievements and never back down, as we are the Golden Turtle, are we not?"

"That is right, Basen. There is no need to apologize when it isn't your fault." *Cale* agreed with his other self's explanation.

"Yes, hyung. I won't disappoint you!" Cale just smiled and ruffled the other's head.

"You never disappointed me. Now, you two go and inform father about what happened." The pair nodded and ran off, before Cale turned to the disguised Whale. "Paseton, follow me to the front gate. We will deal with the issue at the source. Hans!"

"I have your sword!" Hans came running down with the children behind him and Cale felt Raon around too. He handed his sword to his master, as the pair walked to the front gate, where most of the nobles were being suppressed by the knights and Witira.

-What are you going to do, Human?-

"Make sure that they never attempt to harm anyone ever again. Who knows, I will let Basen and the Count decide." When they arrived the knights all stopped and looked at the sole red headed man behind the gates. "Look who we have here. More rats... it's honestly a pity that Ron decided to leave... but he has been too nice to the rats and gave them more food than necessary."

"How dare you?! We were only looking out for you! How can you allow a peasant like him, take the role of lord. Don't worry about it young master, Baron Liam has already infiltrated the place soon you will - "

"He is dead, you know. For attempted murder of the children of the Henituse. And for drawing his blade at me.... but for now, he is awaiting his death in the dungeons." Cale answered one of the nobles.

"What?! how? He is the best swordsman among us - "

"Idiots. My liege is 100% better."

Aster overly proudly declared.

"Well, but young master Cale is certainly better than him." Paseton added.

"No one is asking you peasant - ouff." as one of them insulted the Whale Halfling, Witira was about to attack, but the latter suddenly fell on the ground, like something was pushing him down. Witira looked up and saw another rune above the said noble.

"Watch what you say, men. The person you are insulting is one of my people. Should you speak badly about them, it's the same as doing the same to me. In fact, all of you should be on your knees." Cale emotionlessly told them as more runes appeared above all the nobles, pushing some onto their knees and others onto their bellies. "But what do you know, you have been doing it for so long. Do you really think I don't know what you are up to?"

This was followed by revealing all their wrong doings, which they remembered from the very beginning. As the crowd watching this grew bigger and bigger, adding to more humiliation to the corrupted council members. Until the Count and Basen ran out, as well. "What is the meaning of this, Cale?"

"... all I'm doing is reciting the sins of these people. Am I really doing anything wrong?" Cale questioned, "Besides it seems that these mutts aren't happy with your decision... well, then -" there was a crash, as one of the fallen noble's hired guards stood up, clad in a white aura.
