�What do you think? Doesn�t an idea pop right into your mind?�

A way for Cale to not have any title or position in the Roan Kingdom and be a slacker without the other nobles being able to provoke him.

It would not happen just because Cale was strong and a hero of the kingdom. Unfortunately, people cared more about the person�s current position than their abilities or what they achieved.

But Cale would be the king�s sworn brother? Who would dare to touch him? Even without his own title, being the king�s one and only sworn younger brother with a family that was headed by a Duke or a Marquis would be someone the nobles could not easily approach.

Of course, the nobles would charge at Cale if he had a title and a position.

�I would be a threat to them.�

A hero of the people, the sworn brother of the king, who also had a position and title? All power would be focused on him to the point that the nobles and even Alberu would have to fear Cale.

�That�s why Cale Henituse should not have any position or title.�

The chances for Cale Henituse to be a slacker would finally appear once the nobles start to have such thoughts. This was in line with Cale�s wishes that Alberu knew about.

Furthermore, this was also what Alberu wanted and what was rationally beneficial for him as well. It was something that met both the citizens� desires for Alberu to take care of the kingdom�s hero as well as Alberu�s desire to keep Cale as one of his people. This would satisfy everyone.

�It�ll also let Cale Henituse suffer less and keep my promise with him.�

Alberu had a satisfied smile on his face as he started to speak again.

�You be my dongsaeng. Doesn�t that sound great?�

Cale was still frowning.

�Me? Why?�
�You don�t want to be my dongsaeng?�

Cale was at a loss for words.

Two days later, at the center of Huiss, the capital of the Roan Kingdom. The Roan Kingdom�s nobles gathered for the award ceremony and the celebration that was scheduled to follow.

Due to its long history, the Roan Kingdom had a lot of palaces.

�It�s been a while since so many nobles have gathered together.�

One of the palaces that were only used when there were significant issues that impacted the whole kingdom was currently decorated luxuriously and welcoming people in.

People were busy chatting in this hall that was the size of most small outdoor plazas.
