A hope in the darkness

Chapter 25

"Just a little revenge, that's all."  he patted his shoulders as he said it.

" Against who?" He was scared but at the same time intrigued.

"The crown prince of Roan, the heroes, the white star and pretty much all the bastards who stopped me from having my life as a slacker." Cale sounded sincere when he said it; he seemed sad and angry.

" What?! That's why you're doing all this." Adin couldn't understand the person in front of him.

"Of course it's my dream."

"Okay, do I have a choice after all?" He decided to give up and accept.

" Not really. Just keep it secret. Oh and do what you want with the person you imprisoned. Preferably kill him but otherwise it doesn't matter as long as you don't release him."

"What should I do with the people of Roan?"

"You accept your position quite well, I thought I needed to be more convincing. Bore them with all the political bullshit between princes, you should get along just fine, you're all just as boring."

Adin just nodded, he didn't say anything else as the arrogant crown prince was rubbish. He had encountered something more terrifying than him and the white star, if he submitted, he could do nothing. It crushed his pride but he had to stay alive.

"Take a good rest and don't forget everything must remain secret, I will contact you later if I have anything for you. Just remember that I can kill you whenever I want."

Cale disappeared from the room saying that he returned to the wing reserved for Roan after causing problems it was interesting to see them evolve.

Cale sent Raon asking him to get back to him all the things that happened in the room with the crown prince. Cale had returned to the room he occupied as Venion. He knew that the room had already been inspected and that they had found nothing so he would be able to rest a little.

But life always had plans for him; he was able to hear the dragon's report.

"Everyone seems to be angry and blaming the fake blond prince. Only a few people seem to defend him. He is asked why he included a noble like Venion with them when he was so dangerous. They seem to doubt this choices.

Cale was happy, that's exactly what he wanted. He was able to sleep peacefully with the black dragon returning to his side without forgetting several protective shields. Before falling asleep he thought that maybe he should find a name for the dragon... he will definitely see to that later. A little nap was necessary.

(Cale's family reacting:

Alberu was horrified, Cale clearly seemed to have a problem with his double and his way of getting revenge is vicious.

"I think it will be necessary for him to see someone when he returns, he looks like a psychopath. This new world may have really affected him." Even the ancient dragon was a little horrified to see his Cale like this.

Ron thinks like the dragon but he also felt that Cale would make a very good cold and ruthless assassin.

"Um...shouldn't we think we should never make him angry?" Lock asked, he was a little afraid of his tutor in the videos. Cale is usually cold but there...

"Yeah, sure." Alberu could only agree. He could see Cale plotting and killing people out of revenge or anger or even boredom.

"Will he return to normal when he returns?" that was Choi han's question, he could see Cale playing with his double. He had the same feelings as Alberu.

"Have you ever seen him hurt his family? They have nothing to do with us. I'm sure he will help innocent people." The adults were reminded.

"Yes, you're right we shouldn't be suspicious of him." Eruhaben responded, they were so shocked at Cale's change that they had forgotten that he had never hurt them or even harmed them.

'As long as he's not angry at least.' He looked at Alberu who was still fighting with the redhead for the position of prime minister.

The crown prince felt a sense of unknown danger.

Returning to Cale)

After an hour of eating, Cale was woken up by the dragon. Who immediately made him aware of the situation.

"Everyone went back to their rooms. The crown prince discusses with the imperial prince, they seek a solution to send Roan back and sanction them. The crown prince tries to explain to the prince imperial that he had nothing to do with the culprit and that the kingdom of Roan is unaware of the noble's actions.

He is expected but he still had to go greet them.

"Invisibility, please!"

"Iright away human!"

when they arrived to join the two princes, they were in the middle of a discussion when he entered the room.

Of course the two turned their heads towards the opening door, but they could see a guard entering. Adin flinched while Alberu was intrigued what a guard is doing here and now.

After reforming the door, Cale disguised himself as a guard and went towards Adin and placed a hand on his shoulder while looking towards Alberu.

"So princes, how is your discussion going?" The smile on his face reminded the crown prince of someone he knew and hated.

"I did as you told me." The answer came from Adin before the stunned eyes of the crown prince.

"Yes I see you did a good job well done." There is only one person who can speak to a prince like this.

"Cale Henituse."

"*sigh* Why do you say my name? It's not like it would change anything." Cale returned to his original form, his red hair reappeared.

"Are you behind all this?"

"Of course I want the empire to play a little with the kingdom of Roan and declare war on them then we will see."

"The citizens are innocent, you will cause the death of many people!"

"No, I want them to lose confidence in their leader. Accusing them of being responsible for everything and throwing them out of power. I know that the most important thing for you is your kingdom so I will take it away from you."

His smile widened as the dark crown prince approached him.

He let him come towards him, Cale knew full well that he wanted to beat him but he let him do so as his fist was about to reach his face. He used full power of his dominant aura and part of the blood soaked rock on the prince who fell to his knees trembling in fear.

"Don't think you can do anything to me. You are nothing, only a poor crown prince abandoned by everyone and who will soon lose the only thing he had left."

Cale looked contemptuously at the prince still kneeling on the ground. He found it strangely satisfying.

"You know what you have to do." He could see Adin nodding frantically before teleporting with the help of the black dragon to his villa in the Forest of Darkness
