Chapter 36 - 『We Went Through All Of Those, Just To Be Strangers In The End』

Cale wakes up with a jolt, immediately sitting up before laying down from the pain in his chest.

- Rest for a while on the bed, Cale. It's taking a long time to heal you since you took a direct stab in your heart.

He heard the crybaby say in his head with a passive voice.

"Lay down, your wound hasn't even healed completely yet."

The redhead flinched as he looked at Alver who was beside him, peeling radishes without sparing him a glance.

'So he do know the language here.'

Cale looks down at his chest that was wrapped with bandages, remembering how he was stabbed by the blonde through the heart.

He then flinched again, when he remembered what happened before his death as Cale Henituse.

Now Cale knows the reason why Xiao Wang wouldn't want him to remember how he died.

Remembering such tragic memory only makes Cale space out, his hands slightly trembling as he let out a shuddered exhale.

So is he still a God? Cale wouldn't know unless he finds a way to create contact with the former God of Death.

Funny, how he was annoyed back then when a Martial God was watching him, only for him to be a God from another world in the end. So now, it's understandable for that Martial God to look at him if he's dangerous or not.

"How long have I been out?" Cale asks, managing to stop himself from calling the blonde, 'hyung-nim'.

"Weeks. I don't keep count."

Lies, Alver counted the days the redhead has been unconscious.

Exactly twenty three days.

Cale let out another shuddered sigh, his palm covering his face in attempt to stop the records that kept playing in his head.

"Eat. Then we'll talk."

Alver places a plate of apple pie beside him, Cale doing his best to stop flinching like a frightened cat.

"Can I even digest that?"

Alver was silent, contemplative.

"Then wait for the soup if you're willing." He says and stands up, putting the radish into a boiling pot before closing the lid back.

"I'll wait, Your Highness."

Cale could see how Alver froze, like he uttered something entirely taboo.

"You should stop calling me that. I don't know what year you left Rowoon, but I'm no longer the Crown Prince of that kingdom."

Cale's pupils shook, looking at Alver who was busy chopping another batch of vegetables.

"What?"

What bullshit is he spouting now?

"My younger brother, Robbit is now the Crown Prince."

As Alver puts the rest of the vegetables into the pot, Cale could only look at him with a look of confusion.

"Why?"

'It's because something feels missing and I lost it before I could even know.' Was what Alver wants to say but he just shrugs instead.

"I just don't feel like ruling a kingdom. I'd rather tend to my farm." He says, still stirring the soup.

'Farm? What, he's ruling as a farmer and the vegetables or fruits are the citizens?'

"Which land your farm is placed?" Cale asks, already noting every possible land.
