Young master Silver Light, young master Shield, he didn�t want to hear such cheesy and embarrassing things. However, Cale knew that it would have been much worse if it wasn�t for the crown prince subduing the rumors, and so he could not say anything about it.

All he could do was stoically speak to the Vice Captain, who was shrugging his shoulder.

�I�m sure they�ll stop if I drink and act like I usually do, right?�

�Ahem, hem!�

The Vice Captain could not say anything and just turned away. That made Cale start to smile, but that smile immediately disappeared. It was because of what the Vice Captain said next.

�I think it would be best if you avoided alcohol, since you are still recovering.�

Cale was still officially recovering and not 100 percent.

The official story was that he was injured because he used his ancient power past its intended limits so that he could protect the crowd, causing a miracle to happen that prevented the explosion.

That miraculous story naturally originated from the crown prince. That was why the staff at the Henituse residence was busy protecting the injured Cale.

It was not just the staff at the capital. Cale thought about his father, Count Deruth, who was planning on coming up to the capital a few days ago. This was what Deruth had said through the video communication.

� Cale, did you see the faces of those bastards? Your dad will kill them all for you. How dare they do such a thing to a person who cannot even swing a sword!

Even though Deruth knew Cale had earned an ancient power, the fact that even Cale�s younger sister was better than Cale at swinging a sword made Deruth consider Cale to be weak.

� The reason the Henituse family does not take action is not because we are weak. Remember this Cale. We have not taken any actions until now because we are strong. Nobody shall take any actions against you like this in the future.

That was what Countess Violan had said while calming Count Deruth down. But that must have been the truth, as no nobles sent any messages or came to look for Cale once Cale left the palace and returned to his own residence. Even Eric and company did not show up.

�That made it easy.�

Cale had used that free time very efficiently. Cale, who had been looking forward as he walked, could see the knight and soldier guarding the entrance.

�Ah, young master Cale.�

�Do you need to verify my identity?�

The knight shook his head at Cale�s question and respectfully opened the entrance. Cale had to enter alone from here on. The people who were allowed to enter this time was significantly less than during the birthday celebration, but Cale was the exception.

�Young master Cale-nim, please enter.�

�Great, thanks. Keep up the good work.�

��Yes sir!�

Cale thought that the knight was probably overworked, so he patted the knight on the shoulder as the knight bowed and vigorously responded to him. He then walked in, not knowing that the knight was watching him walk in for a very long time.

Cale continued to walk at a leisure pace. JrNovels.com
