Unfortunately, Cale had to play along. A smile appeared on his face for the first time today. That smile looked quite innocent, unlike his tired face. A bright voice modestly answered as if he was honored.

�I am happy as well. Hyung-nim.�

That modest and slightly innocent-looking attitude made the nobles start to think.

�He�s really an innocent hero���
�He�s being used by the crown prince!�
��It looks like Cale Henituse is someone who truly wishes to be a hero, unlike what I originally thought.�
�The political field is going to flow in an odd direction from now on.�

Cale slowly took a step back and pulled his hand away as he said that.

Shhhh.

Alberu let his hand go without any objections and Cale could finally smile in relief.

�I�m free.�

His role was now finished.
Cale was thinking that he could now relax and enjoy the celebration. Cale felt even more relaxed after looking around and seeing that the nobles were calmer than before.

�Hyung-nim.�

He heard Basen�s whisper at that moment. Cale turned his head after hearing the quiet voice.

�You meant it when you said you want to live a quiet life, right?�
�Hmm? Yes?�
��I see.�

Basen, who had been doing his best to study politics, realized that his brother was an innocent soul. He was smart, but sacrificial and innocent. Basen found another reason that he needed to protect his brother.

�Maybe he can dream of world peace and living a quiet life away from politics and power because he is such an innocent person.�

Basen quietly looked toward Cale with a gentle gaze as Cale slowly rubbed his stomach with his palm.

� Human! T, there�s chocolate flowing out of that cake over there! What kind of amazing cake is that?!

�I know, right?�

He was hungry.

After being shocked by crown prince Alberu, Cale was now left with hunger. He hoped the awards ceremony would end quickly as he stood there with a blank expression on his face.

��His expression shows no greed at all. I wonder if it is real.�

The nobles continued to look toward him, but Cale who was annoyed didn�t care at all. JrNovels.com
