8• Young Master Cale Henituse •8

  One of the most noteworthy changes in the original TCF plot that took place after Miler's intervention was the people's attitude toward the eldest son of the Count, Cale Henituse.

  Instead of treating him with fear and ridicule, people of the Henituse territory treasured their precious young master.

  This change was mostly because Cale avoided the "trash young master" path that he chose to protect his new family. And instead showcased their own ability alongside his own to solidify their places as a Henituse.

  There was also the fact that Cale served as a bridge between Pleiades Merchantry and the Northeastern territory. The wares provided by the Pleiades Store, "modern technology" as they call it, all helped the common people in many ways.

  From their daily basic necessities, to working tools, health aiding equipments, and even recreational entertainment purposes. Pleiades Store's wares were heaven sent for commoners who had no contact with expensive magical devices.

  And their young master, Cale Henituse, was actually a priority VIP of such store.

  Well aside from that, everyone in the territory knew that their young master Cale Henituse was a big sweetheart and an inborn genius. Their respect to him far exceeded that of their respect for the Royal Family.

  So the news that young master Cale Henituse, who was a darling to everyone in the Northeast, sent a distress signal to the Count when he went on a specific remote village of their territory, spreaded like a wildfire.

  And everyone anxiously waited for further news as to what happened. Praying with all their might that their young master would be safe and uninjured.

  That's exactly why, when Cale and his entourage arrived back, they were greeted with a festival like welcome of some sorts.

  Cale stared at the window of the carriage in stunned confusion. Inside the carriage with him was his father, the Count, and his personal butler, Ron.

  "What's the occasion?"

  Cale couldn't help but marvel at the grand celebration outside the carriage. It was comparable to the festivals his mother, Countess Violan, would usually held every Spring.

  But it wasn't time for the Festival yet. So such a scene stunned Cale.

  "They're welcoming you back home."

  Count Deruth couldn't help but chuckle upon seeing the sudden blank expression of his son at his answer.

  "You're kidding."

  Cale impassively stated in a straight tone with a blank expression. Not believing even an ounce of his father's answer.

  "He's not, young master. Look there, they have welcoming messages for you."

  This time, it was Ron who answered while pointing outside on a certain direction. True to his words, a huge banner with the message "Welcome Home Young Master" was hangged at the wall of a house.

  Cale suddenly felt lightheaded after seeing such a cliche scene. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something. Looking aggrievedly at his two father figures.

  "Please tell me that Alberu hyung and Clopeh hyung aren't here."

  Cale dreaded. But, to his misfortune, both of his father figures simply avoided his pitiful gaze. And Cale immediately knew he was f*cked.

  'Okay... those two will never let me live this bullsh*t.'

  Cale powerlessly leaned on the carriage's wall with deadeyes. Already imagining the endless teasing he would receive from his two hyungs.
