Arriving at the gate, Ron and Hilsman met the door guard.
Cale was standing with Choi Han. He was going to ride the carriage with Hilsman and Ron. But Choi Han still wanted to be by his side until the time came.
A horse carriage bearing the Stan family crest arrives.
Even though Cale was not afraid of Venion, he did feel uncomfortable being in the same place as the person who had kidnapped him.
"Choi Han."
"Yeah..."
Choi Han glared at Venion who got off his horse carriage.
"Hide me so that bastard won't see me."
Cale only hoped that Choi Han would stand on the side hiding Cale with his body that was bigger than Cale.
"?"
But Choi Han hugged Cale and covered Cale's body with his black robe.
However, Cale didn't pay attention to that.
As long as Venion couldn't see him, what did it matter?
'Ack!'
Cale held his stomach as he felt his baby kick.
"My dear, don't kick me, please..."
Cale held his stomach as if he wanted to comfort the baby. Choi Han could hear Cale's mumbling.
Tum.
"Geh..."
'Don't go there.'
!?
Cale was confused as he heard the child's voice in his head once again. What really happened!?
There couldn't be a child ghost haunting him, right?
There's no way, right?
Cale got goosebumps at the thought.
'But I heard ghosts like people who are pregnant...'
Choi Han who saw Cale's pace turn pale, and his hands shivering, thought Cale was frightened because of Venion.
"It's okay, Cale nim. I'm here with you."
"Hah... Right."
There's no way a ghost would appear during the day... It must just be his hallucination.
'Tsk.'
Choi Han clicked his tongue internally as Venion walked closer to them.
“I'm sorry, Cale-nim.”
Chu-
!?
Cale was shocked as he touched his cheek. He looked at Choi Han with a 'what are you doing' type of gaze.
But a second later, Cale saw Venion who was looking toward them sharply. Cale smiled.
"Hah... you surprised me."
Choi Han knew that Cale already knew the reason why he was doing it.
"Why are you so coy? Is it because we are in public?"
Cale spoke in a voice that was a bit loud for Venion to hear.
Choi Han's face turned red hearing that. He knew it was just an act.
But...
Cale touched his lips with his thumb, smiling like they were lovers.
Cale held Choi Han's chin and moved as if he wanted to kiss Choi Han.
Badump, badump, badump.
Choi Han's heart felt like it was about to explode.
"Young master- ack!"
Hilmas blushed to see that.
Cale immediately took a step back from Choi Han and saw Venion's irritated face out of the corner of his eye, smiling with satisfaction.
"I'm, I'm sorry..."
Cale shook his head.
"I knew you would come soon. You came at the right time. I was just pretending."
"Ouh! Phew... At least I'm not holding onto a noble's secrets."
Of course, Hilsman was afraid. Holding secrets like a noble's mistress was annoying and could get him killed for no reason.
Cale looked toward the frozen Choi Han, letting out a short sigh.
"Sorry, Choi Han."
"Ah! No, no! I was the one who started it!"
Tum.
"Ack..."
Cale held his stomach, letting out a short sigh. Why is the baby suddenly being so active?
"Young master!"
"Cale-nim!"
Cale sighed and reached out his hand to Choi Han.
"I have to go now."
'Don't let him go.'
!?
Choi Han looked at the area around him, confused when he heard a child's voice.
Yet he was still holding Cale's hand.
“Cale nim, can't you don't go inside? You've fainted twice already…”
Cale raised his eyebrows at that.
"Are you afraid of me marrying the crown prince? I told you being queen is sucks. If you don't want to send me, then there's no need."
Choi Han held Cale's hand even tighter and kissed it.
"Cale nim, if you get hurt, I will become your slave. So please, don't get hurt."
Cale got goosebumps hearing that.
'Will he slap me if I make him a slave!? Since he's a good person, he wouldn't hit me who was pregnant, would he?'
"Yes, I get it."
Cale entered the gate with Ron and Hilsman. There, they still had to pull a carriage to get to the banquet hall.
The gates will open to the common people in a moment. This is the gate for the nobility.
Cale saw someone he did not expect to meet there.
Cage stood beside Taylor, waving his hand at Cale.
Taylor was talking quietly with Alberu.
Cale was reminded that he met the crown prince before he passed out. That made Cale feel awkward.
"Hello, young master Cale! Are you okay? You're just wearing a normal suit today."
Cale sighed internally.
"I woke up late today, so, I don't have time to dress up."
The crown prince nodded his head as if he understood Cale's predicament.
"I actually didn't expect your presence today, young master Cale."
Cale looked at Taylor who said that with a super guilty face.
???
Cale became flustered.
"I heard that your health is rather bad from the long journey, so, I'd like to offer the priest of the temple of the god of death to escort you."
!?
Cale was shocked to hear that.
"Young master Cale, I know you can only take 2 guards with you, but since you are not very well, I will let this priest be with you."
Well, Cale didn't really care about that.
"I understand, your highness. Thank you for your concern."
Alberu accepted Cale's thanks like it was a normal thing.
"Okay if everyone is here, I'm leaving now."
Alberu glared at Taylor even though his mouth was smiling. When he got into the carriage, he looked at Venion with disgust. He wanted to execute Venion immediately.
But he has no proof yet.
.
.
Cale rides the carriage, seeing Neo has a red mark on his cheeks.
"Young master Neo, what happened to your face?"
Cause Neo warned him about Venion, Cale not thinking Neo was a bad person.
"Hah? It's nothing. My fiancee slap me when she heard I need to go somewhere for a business matter. And I have to go for three months."
Cale chuckled hearing that.
"Good luck to you."
"Well, she's in her period day. What can I do just give her a chocolate."
"You really a nice person, young master Neo."
Neo snorted hearing that.
"I'm not. I'm just kind to my fiancee and omega because my mother is also an omega. I know how hard being omega is."
Cale can see the sadness in Neo's eyes and didn't ask any further.
Neo smiled at that.
"You really not like omega, young master Cale."
???
Neo just smiled at Cale who was confused. Well, omega not really thinking about other people feeling when they are curious.
'He is really a nice person. How can he be trash?'
Well, as he knows how hard omega has to survive, he just thinks that his way's to survive.
"You too seemed to become so close, young master."
Amiru say that and the two just acted like they hearing something disgusting.
.
.
.
Last night at the palace.
"Why do you want to meet me all of a sudden, your highness?"
Taylor bowed respectfully to Alberu. He came with Cage.
Alberu showed a piece of cloth to Taylor.
!?
"From your reaction, I'm sure you know what cloth this is."
Taylor and Cage got goosebumps.
Trying to harm a member of the royal family was a very big sin!
"Are, are the assassins targeting you, your highness?"
Alberu shook his head. That made Taylor and Cage sigh internally.
“I found someone who ran away after he was kidnapped by someone with a cloth like this. This should be a cloth produced in the southwest region, right?”
Taylor swallowed his saliva.
"Can I meet the kidnapped person to make sure?"
Alberu shook his head.
"You can't see him because he's not with me. But I'm sure you know him."
'I know him?'
Taylor was starting to have a bad feeling. Is it another noble?
“That is Cale Henituse.”
bang!
Cage punch the table when she heard the name of the kidnapped person.
"How dare he...!"
Cage tried his best not to break anything out of frustration.
Thum.
Taylor's legs felt weak and sat on the floor.
???
Alberu had not expected that Taylor and Cage, would be so close to that Cale Henituse.
“Is, is young master Cale okay?”
Taylor's voice trembled as he asked.
"I don't think it was that bad, but the sole of his foot was injured badly enough that he might not be able to walk properly tomorrow if he doesn't use healing potions. He also fainted from exhaustion."
Alberu glanced at Cage.
"I think you know who did it."
Cage gripped the piece of cloth.
“How could I not know what cloth this is… This is the cloth of the assassins that made Taylor lose his leg! How dare that bastard touch young master Cale!”
Alberu frowned. The person who paralyzed Taylor was his own brother.
"At this rate, Taylor, you must become a Marquis as soon as possible and provide me with all the information regarding the crimes your brother committed."
Cage helped Taylor to get up.
"I will, your highness."
.
.
"So, His Highness told you about me..."
Only the person Cale had entrusted remained in the carriage.
Crack.
!?
Cale was shocked to see the carriage window cracked by Ron's grip.
'I didn't see anything...'
Hilsman also gripped his hand tightly to hold back his anger.
Venion wasn't even afraid of the Henituse family finding out about this!
Cale let out a long sigh.
"Let's just get out. No matter what happens, don't let Venion get near me."
They all nod hearing that.
-I'm here, human. Everything went fine just as you planned.
The black dragon touched Cale's hair to let him know he was there.
"Black dragon, give my family a message."
Cale whispered in a low voice. Only Ron and the black dragon could hear it.
-Hmm? What message? About this bomb?
"No. I want my father to support Taylor so he can become the head of the family as soon as possible. Since Venion Stan kidnapped me, I want him to be executed immediately."
-I understood! And, please be careful, human!
The black dragon flew back to continue doing his work.
Cale looked into the mirror and sighed again. He was annoyed because he didn't dare to wear the clothes he had ordered because of Venion, and he didn't have time to wear any of the jewelry he had because he was late for his appointment with Amiru.
He only wore his glasses because his eyes were blurry!
He also only had time to eat bread for breakfast! Only, bread!
Cale wanted to cry out of frustration.
The only good thing for that day was Ron gave him some sweet herbal tea!
"Young master, are you okay? You look pale..."
"💢!!!"
Cale looked sharply at Hilsman.
"Did I give you permission to talk to me!?"
Hilsman immediately took a step back hearing Cale shout at him.
"But he's right... Are you all right, young master?"
Taylor spoke guiltily.
"Just shut up! I don't want to hear anything! Everything is a mess! I want to beat someone now! So, don't bother me!"
Cale looked like he wanted to punch Taylor.
"Ahem."
Ron faked a cough before things could get any worse.
"Hemp."
Cale snorted and walked Infront not seeing anything.
"I'm sorry for my master. But you know his condition, right?"
Emotions of pregnant people are unstable sometimes.
Taylor nodded and sighed softly, feeling even more guilty.
Cale was kidnapped and had to attend this event with absolutely no rest.
They arrived at their table and sat quietly.
"Ron, I want that, that, that, hah... Just take it all for me."
Ron who saw Cale was still upset and just went to grab the food on the table.
Apart from Hilsman, no one questioned Cale's behavior.
There were only Cale's acquaintances at the table. It seemed like the crown prince was trying his best to make sure Cale was comfortable after what he had been through.
.
.
"Your Majesty and the family have arrived!"
After 5 minutes of eating the food on the table, the king finally arrived.
Only five minutes...
Damn it!

To be continued.
Ciel: Wow, preggo Cale, you really get mad easily...
Preggo Cale: Of course. I'm pregnant. What do you expect me to calm down? Look at Leon Cale too.
Leon Cale: Ciel, you are the only person who has much patience when you are pregnant... It's not weird if your husband cares enough like Leon...
Harem Cale: You can say that because you get pregnant after the war. I'm busy.
Leon: I'll punch you if I get to your story, Harem Cale. That's how annoying of you.
Ciel: It's a Harem story. What can you do?
