�You�re probably interested in looking after the territory and helping it grow, right?�

He was right. His hyung-nim was right, but Basen did not respond. He didn�t look like he was trying to be rude. In fact, he looked to be deep in thought about what to say.

�Mm.�

Cale thought for a moment before starting to speak again.

�You guys are still young, but I will tell you the truth since you are both intelligent but more so because you are my younger siblings.�

�My younger siblings.�

Those words made Basen�s shoulders shake. He then noticed Cale calmly looking at him.

It made him recall the younger version of his brother who was blunt and almost rude as he spoke but always looked at him with a pitying but calm gaze.

�I do not wish to be the territory lord.�

Cale decided to be honest. It might make him seem like an eldest son with no sense of responsibility, however, it didn�t matter since they all thought that he was originally trash, right?

�To be honest with you guys, I wish to rest after finishing what I am doing right now.�

Basen�s eyes opened wide.

�I want to live over by Harris Village and live a quiet and peaceful life.�
�Ah.�

Basen let out a quiet gasp but could not think about what to say as he looked at Cale scratch his cheeks while saying these things in a slightly awkward and embarrassed tone.

�Yes, the things hyung-nim is doing right now-�

Everything that the Cale who suddenly changed two years ago started to do caused a lot of noise in the kingdom. Everything he did raised the fame of the Henituse household and their territory, especially his achievements during the battle between the Indomitable Alliance and the Henituse territory. Cale also accomplished a lot in the kingdom and the rest of the Western continent after that, making the fame that he had thought had reached its apex to continue to rise.

His actions made people stop talking about making Basen the successor and the talks of making Cale the successor were rampant in the territory now.

However.

�How hard must it have been for hyung-nim this whole time?�

This was the reason Basen had been at a loss for words after hearing Cale say he wanted to rest. It was because he remembered that while Cale�s fame and the household�s fame went up, Cale himself had to fight with his life on the line many times.

The person who turned pale, coughed up blood, and fainted time after time was saying he wanted to rest after this was over.

Furthermore, he mentioned that he had hesitated to tell the truth because Basen was young but that he decided to tell them because they were his younger siblings. Anybody would be able to tell that Cale was being honest. However, his hyung-nim who was saying he was young was only 20 years old and had been 18 when he started to fight two years ago.

His hyung-nim was also still young.

Basen�s thoughts were so complicated that his mind wanted to blow. Many different emotions and thoughts filled his mind. He heard Cale�s voice at that moment. JrNovels.com
