�Oh boy.�

Cale suppressed his feeling of astonished disgust and stood right behind Toonka.

He could see Toonka�s fists trembling.

Even so, Toonka did not burst out in anger.

He was holding it back.

Cale realized one thing as he observed Toonka.

Why was Toonka so welcoming towards Cale who came to help?

Was it simply because the time to fight was approaching?

No.

He was literally moved by the fact that Cale had come to, �help the Whipper Kingdom.�

�This bastard is starting to think about the safety and prosperity of the Whipper Kingdom.�

Although he was still clumsy and stupid.

The bastard who only knew how to look straight ahead and fight was beginning to understand the weight of ruling a country.

�Jeez.�

Cale held back a smile.

He was supposed to be the guy who only looked straight ahead and fought.

He would continue to wage war until the Whipper Kingdom, the non-mage faction, and Toonka himself all perished. How did that future become so twisted?

As a result, Toonka remained in the kingdom and saw how the people lived.

He saw how Cale, who pretended to be a priest, treated the soldiers and how grateful the soldiers were for their help.

As a person with influence, Toonka was able to see many aspects of life beyond war and power. He also started to understand the hearts of the people that followed him.

Cale stood behind Toonka and whispered in a low voice.

�Toonka.�

Cale saw Toonka flinch as he called his name and thought that Toonka was still the same Toonka as back when they met.

He was still the same Toonka who introduced himself back then as, �Bob�. JrNovels.com
