**Athanasia Point of View**
After a moment, Athanasia broke the silence and said, "Oh my!"
Athanasia got up from her position and stood up. She looked at Cale with shaking eyes.
"C-Cale, Mistress Violan will misunderstand," she stammered.
Cale covered his ears as Athanasia screamed. He knew that too well. Of course, that would really give rise to a big misunderstanding. Huge, if you ask.
"But can't that be easily overcome?" Cale thought to himself. He just needed to clear up the misunderstanding. He confusedly looked at Athanasia, who was panicking.
He should have known that well. "I just need to straighten it out," Cale said.
"Athanasia, go now," Athanasia grabbed Cale's hand, telling him to quickly go over to Violan.
Cale made a tsk sound with a slight blush in his ear. He had no other choice but to quickly leave from there to catch up with his stepmother. Well, there was no way that he would send Athanasia over there to explain, right?
**Athanasia Point of View**
This person he had just sent away was Cale Henituse! Athanasia recalled how many misunderstandings Cale caused in the novel. She remembered how Cale left with a stoic face. Suddenly, Athanasia felt that she had done something that she would regret later.
"Cale, please don't be stupid this time and cause more misunderstandings," Athanasia thought to herself.
It could be dangerous if Cale just blurted out what was on his mind in a misunderstanding way. "Please, Cale, don't say what's on your mind and think carefully. Please," she pleaded silently.
**Cale Point of View**
Cale walked casually towards his father's office, where Violan usually was. Reaching there, Cale knocked on the door himself.
Hans suddenly appeared from the gap in the door to check. When he saw that it was really Cale, Hans immediately opened the door and quickly went out and closed the door tightly.
Cale was confused and a little surprised when he saw the door shut tightly and the serious expression on Hans' face. Cale turned around only to see his father, Deruth, who was next to his stepmother, Violan, with her face covered by a fan almost completely.
Cale was confused. "Erm... did I do something wrong?" he asked.
Deruth stroked his wife's hand then allowed Cale to sit on the sofa. Cale obeyed in confusion. His only intention of coming here was to talk to his mother and clear up the misunderstanding, but his father suddenly told him to sit down. Cale was even more puzzled.
"Is he going to say something else to me?" Cale thought.
Deruth cleared his throat, trying not to flinch as he gave his answer. "Cough, if you feel that Athanasia is worthy enough, Cale, I will not comment and support your decision."
Cale smiled when he heard that, feeling satisfied, and said, "Thank you, Dad."
Violan, who had neutralized her blush and was listening to Deruth's conversation with Cale, wanted to say something. "Cale... are you really serious about Athanasia?"
"I seriously want to make her my personal maid when Ron leaves," Cale said, thinking about Ron leaving and feeling himself smiling.Cale though
On the other hand, Violan and Deruth saw Cale's sweet smile
but exchanged looks with each other, conveying their unanimous decision, which Cale didn't notice.
"And also, Mother... about earlier," Cale started to say.(🙂)
"I understand, Cale. There is no need to worry," Violan smiled sincerely. Cale felt that something was wrong about that smile, but his intention to come here had already been fulfilled, and he wanted to hurry back.
"Then I'm allowed to return?" Cale asked.
Deruth and Violan nodded their heads in understanding.
As Cale walked back to his room, he saw Athanasia playing with Hong and On. As he approached them, he noticed Athanasia looking at him with a smile.
**Athanasia Point of View**
When I noticed that Cale had returned, I was about to ask, but I noticed Hong and On there. So, I said to them that we needed to talk about something important, and they glanced at each other, nodded, and left the room for the time being.
"Have you straightened it out, Cale?" I asked.
Cale nodded and patted the space next to him on the edge of the bed.
I sat down and listened to what he had to say.
"You can rest easily. I've done everything," he assured me.
As much as I wanted to believe him, considering that this red-headed individual had caused so many misunderstandings in the novel, I couldn't help but have doubts. "Are you sure, Cale? I'm getting worried," I said.
"Why worry? Nothing bad happened. Stop thinking negatively," Cale reassured me.
I nodded, trying to trust him. "I will go now," I said, feeling a bit relieved.
Cale nodded in understanding.
As I left Cale's room, I felt a weird stare from some of the servants. Why do I have a bad feeling about this? I wondered to myself. Athanasia shook her head, "Maybe I'm just overthinking things, right?"
**Athanasia Point of View**
As she reached his room, she went to bed and rested. Her mind was still filled with thoughts about the recent encounter with Cale. She couldn't help but wonder how everything would unfold, especially after Cale had left to talk to Violan. Athanasia closed her eyes, hoping that everything would turn out fine.
**Cale Point of View**
As Athanasia left his room, Cale called the two sibling kittens, Hong and On.
"As I saw the two kittens, I asked them, 'Are you going to follow me?'" Cale asked.
Hong and On responded with a soft "nya" sound and snuggled against Cale's foot.
Cale paused for a moment, thinking, "Well, I did think of a way to use these siblings."
Then, Cale spoke to them, "Then make yourselves useful."
Hong and On nodded and said in human language, "We want to eat. We are still hungry."One of them said, "I want meat."The other chimed in, "I want to eat cake."
Cale replied, "I'll give you a lot of food, alright?"
Hong and On smiled upon hearing that and said, "We'll be useful."
(cute!♥️♥️🥰)
**Athanasia Point of View**
As Athanasia enjoyed her rest, someone knocked on her door. She quickly got up and opened the door, only to find Hans standing there.
"Hans said that Mrs. Violan is looking for you," Athanasia nodded at understanding.
In Violan's room, Athanasia greeted Violan with a bow and a smile.
Violan smiled back and gestured for Athanasia to sit. After a moment of silence, Violan finally broke it, asking a question that caught Athanasia slightly off guard, "Miss Athanasia, how do you think about Cale?"
Athanasia didn't expect a question like this, as it was similar to the one she had been asked during their last meeting. But she composed herself and replied with sincerity, "Cale is a very kind person. He is very considerate and cares for his people. I believe he is a good person and will be the best person in my eyes."
Violan was speechless, taken aback by Athanasia's genuine and positive response. The Countess recalled the past and how Cale had been treated by his relatives and how his behavior had changed over time.
She felt a sense of regret that she had not realized Cale's true nature sooner. Violan realized that Athanasia's words might hold a deeper truth about her son's character than what others had previously believed.
Violan cleared her throat, trying to collect herself, and said, "I-I'm sorry; that sounded impolite."
Athanasia quickly stood up and bowed slightly to Violan. "Madam, I apologize if what I said earlier offended you, but please don't cry," Athanasia said with concern.
Violan, surprised by Athanasia's reaction, wiped away her tears. "I... was just adrift for a bit."
Realizing that her emotions had gotten the best of her, Violan appreciated Athanasia's kindness and understanding. She accepted the handkerchief Athanasia offered and thanked her.
After a heartfelt conversation, Violan hugged Athanasia gently, expressing her gratitude. Athanasia was touched by the gesture and patted Violan's back comfortingly.
Violan though im glad you are the one cale choose
As a pontential partner-violan
As his personal maid?-athanasia
(lmao whahahah)
As the two women shared a moment of understanding, Violan felt assured that Athanasia was the right person for her son, someone who could see the true goodness within Cale's heart.(plss the misunderstanding at this point i-)
**Deruth and Violan Point Of View**
Later, when Violan returned to Deruth's room, she shared the heartfelt conversation she had with Athanasia. Deruth was surprised and touched by Athanasia's words about Cale's character.
"We have to do something quickly, my dear," Deruth said, his heart warmed by the prospect of Cale finding happiness with someone who truly appreciated him.
Violan nodded in agreement. "Yes, we cannot let this opportunity slip away. Cale is finally showing a side of himself that we've always hoped for. We must support their relationship."(😭)
