�The person whose name should be at the top of this list. I removed his name from it.�

�What?�

The nobles started to whisper to each other. Some of them looked toward Cale. The person whose name should be at the top of the list. It was obvious who that was talking about.

�Cale Henituse, I decided not to give you any positions or titles.�

Alberu could hear the whispers of the nobles and felt as if he could feel the shock from the citizens in the plaza. He felt the changing atmosphere as he headed down from the platform.

He then walked between the splitting masses as he approached a person.

�Cale Henituse, what do you think? Are you satisfied with this?�

Cale looked toward Alberu who was smiling in front of him. He then said what they had previously discussed. It wasn�t very long and fit this situation well.

�Your highness, I am satisfied. I hope that this honor could be shared with the many soldiers and others who suffered more than I did during the battles. I am satisfied with the fact that we safely made it past those difficult days. I do not need anything for it.�
�Ah.�

Small gasps could be heard around the hall.

The rumor was true. Cale Henituse would truly not receive any positions or titles.
That was what he himself wanted.

Furthermore, he wanted his rewards to be shared with others.

�Is he being serious? He�s not shrewdly planning something in secret, is he?�
��If he means what he is saying, then he�s amazing.�
�He really is a hero.�

Many different thoughts filled the hall. Cale then said something that answered all of those questions.

�I just pray for peace and prosperity for the Roan Kingdom.�

Cale looked around and felt the atmosphere in the room before looking back toward Alberu. He then added something they had not discussed in advance.

�Your highness, I am just a small person who wishes to live a quiet life in a peaceful world.�

�This should be enough for nobody to mention giving me a title, right?�

Cale didn�t notice the gazes that looked at him as some sage who separated himself from the material world as he processed his thoughts while looking at the silent nobles.
It was at that moment.

Grab.

�Hmm?�

Alberu suddenly grabbed Cale�s hand. JrNovels.com
