LORD CALE - TCF Cale

Cale - TBOAH Cale

[*********]

Choi Han listened to everything that he needed to know about Cale Henituse's world.

Lord Cale took his time telling him about the original timeline. His actions, Cale's actions and White Star's effect in that world.

He remembered most of the important things and he understood his mission.

Choi Han's order was simple.

"Lead those children in the same way as I would lead you."

He knew the fact that he wasn't bound by the time of the world. He's the only one who can be left behind without losing his sanity. As a single-lifer, he'll be able to exist in any timeline without being affected.

However—"How should I approach, Lord Cale? "

That was his dilemma.

The role that Lord Cale ordered for him was the righteous Choi Han, who would follow Cale as he did. While loyalty couldn't be changed, he's aware of the fact that the Cale of this world was different from Lord Cale.

I should treat Cale the way I treat Lord Cale.

He scouted the area and wiped out all the monsters that could cause trouble to Harris Village before he left the Forest of Darkness.

Cale-nim should've returned to our world right now.

Meaning, he's the only one left in this world right now.

The setting was way early from the time he met Cale.

"Should I wait or go and protect him now? " he pondered.

He remembered the memory where Cale had been all alone in this world. Remembered how Lord Cale told him that the Cale of this world had no one to trust, no one to confide in, nor a place for himself.

He set out with the determination to prevent Cale from turning into that miserable man who dared to exchange his own life to be with the person who truly loved him from the start.

Upon arriving in Weston City, Choi Han brought out his County badge. Lord Cale gave this to him when he first became his knight. It became a reminder that he had a place to go back to.

He hoped that sentiment would surely help Cale to find a place to go back to as well.

He walked around and noticed that the County of this time wasn't the same as the county he knew before. This was far more miserable and far poorer and unsettled compared to the County he first came to.

The hollow and superficial smiles were filled with animosity and rage towards the nobles who came adorned with jewels and lavish clothes while mocking all commoners for their poor state.

I've come to the time when Henituse County is still in chaos.

He ignored the busy nobles and people sighing in contempt. While his conscience spoke of killing those fools, he knew better than to alter things unless Lord Cale said so.

He arrived at the County Castle and noticed a long line of burly men entering the castle.

He approached the person at the end of the line and asked, "Hello. May I ask what you are lining up for? "

The person at the back of the line looked at him and said, "hello. Today's the day the county is accepting applicants for Henituse Knights."

"Anyone can sign up for it? " he asked.
