Prologue
"Master Cale, how about we do it like here?" Curiously asked by the one who responsible of making the Henituse's gate became more strong since base on Cale's instructions to base it from Mage tower etc.
"Just do as you see it fit," Cale replied lifeless since he didn't care about anything at all. After being the Prime Minister of Roan empire he always have a lot to do on his plate.
"I think that design is pleasantly good." Raon butted in when he saw how good the new designs are. What they're talking about the new renovation of Cale Henituse's house.
After killing white star and dealing with the blood cult, Cale finally got back on Roan Empire and excitedly thinking that his finally 'bout to get the 'Rich Slacker Life' but everything turn to dust when Alberu T
the Emperor of the Roan Empire declared that Cale Henituse will be the Prime Minister of the Empire.
"Cale Henituse, for being the General commander and achieving too many victories in every war, for doing such great deed with the power given to me as the Emperor declare you to be the Prime Minister of Roan Empire." Alberu Crossman stated making everyone except Cale and his group clapping there hands as for Cale he looked too surprise but didn't dare to say his own thoughts and accept it generously without side comment.
"I, Cale Henituse, accept the royal decree, but please do keep in mind that I'll never set foot here at the Royal castle again." Cale replied and leave right after that.
Its been five years since that decree passed down, everyone notice how Cale turn lifeless after that, although Cale work diligently without any fault it makes everyone around him concerned for his well-being and always on guard for Cale what might do to hurt himself.
Everyone did not think that they will saw Cale one day bleeding too much blood not by using his ancient powers like he always do, Cale slit all of his pulse and his throat, he even stab his heart again, but due to his heart full of vitality due to one of his ancient power and the stab he do with the world tree branch back on dealing with the white star his wounds are slowly healing so no matter how much he bleed he can't die. It was quite too traumatic for all of them specially for the kids. Eruhaben was about to scold him since his the older one in them except for Sherrit, Raon's mother but his quite taken back when he saw how Cale look to desperate to die back then.
"Cale, why you do this?" Eruhaben aked gently to Cale who cried for the second time in front of them.
"I'm Tired, can't I just die?" Cale honestly replied making everyone shocked and became emotional though all of them know how tired Cale too everything his been doing all of this time he never complained about it. 'till now but hearing him saying such lonely words from him making them feel became emotional before the kids can say anything to cale passed out making them all worried but Eruhaben told them that his just sleeping, so they didn't need to panic.
When Cale woke up for three months straight sleeping they all notice Cale somewhat change he became lifeless though he still interacts to every of them like nothing happened they know Cale always look too dead whenever his alone so aside from the kids who always with him to accompany him they took turns who'll stay with him from time to time to avoid the incident might happened again like that. They also noticed Cale didn't want to mention Alberu's name or even royal palace name. Whenever there something to be discussed along with the Imperial family Cale asked Choi Han to go or Ron to be his representative.
"Master Cale, there's a letter from the palace..." Ron informed Cale whose busy doing paper works on his office today too like yesterday.
"Hmm' just read it, Ron." Cale stated without looking at Ron and still busy reading something.
"They celebrating for the Emperor's father today and they expecting for you to come so as Choi Han to be present." Ron replied while silently observing his master now. Aside from being the Prime Minister Cale became the Head leader or the Patriarch of the Thames family who live in seclusion but live in the open now so obviously his busier than ever luckily his father Deruth gave the Duke position to Basen after a sincerely talk to Cale.
"I'm busy, you go there in my stead." Cale replied without any second though making Ron sighed.
"Cale-nim, Aren't you going with me? its been a long time since the last time you go out in the house..." Choi Han asked worriedly.
"Just like I said I'm quite busy, I have more important things to do, Choi Han." Cale replied without looking to any of them.
"Human! its lunch time! lets go eat with everyone today too!!" Raon butted in making Cale nod and walk outside to his office along with the kids but before Ohn followed them she gave a nod towards the two and silently joined the rest.
"You, punk... You still didn't get after becoming one of his people, young master... no Master Cale didn't want to step back on that damned place, you still don't learned after what he done five years ago." Seriously stated by Ron and leave Choi Han behind the room with a paled face since he remember how Cale looked back then and for the three months straight making him really look dead but while he hasn't move any part of his body and just breathing lightly like his only sleeping he looked quite peaceful making everyone conflicted since this is the first time they saw Cale sleep peacefully like he's finally found the rest his been wanting for the long time.
