Cale just finished the great meal and left the dining room. He could hear someone rushing toward him, although this was against the nobles� etiquette.

�Basen?�

It was Basen and Lily who chased after Cale.

��Hyung-nim, must you go?�

�Pretty much.�

He didn�t need to go, but he just preferred 10 years of peaceful days rather than just one day. Cale continued to speak to his two quiet siblings.

�Both of you need to focus on your studies and training. I can only go around like this because the two of you are here holding things down.�

Cale was always at peace knowing Basen would become the next liege of the territory and Lily the commanding officer for the military. At least they wouldn�t have the typical drama plotlines of the eldest son and the more talented younger son fighting for the successor position nor something of the sort.

Cale turned away from the siblings who were still just quietly watching him. He still had a lot to prepare. Cale started to walk away as he spoke to his siblings again.

�I will bring you both some souvenirs from the Whipper Kingdom.�

Cale could not see that Basen and Lily�s gazes were focused on Cale before exchanging glances with each other and nodding their heads. He had absolutely no idea that his younger siblings had already decided their future occupations.

A few days later, Cale was happy that he was able to get on the ship at exactly the time he planned to do so.

�Young master Cale.�

Cale looked toward the source of the voice as soon as he got on the ship.

�Young lady Amiru.�

Amiru quietly observed Cale, who was still just as relaxed as before. The Ubarr liege had already gotten on the same boat as the crown prince, so Amiru had ordered for them to prepare the largest and strongest ship as soon as she received the crown prince�s order. ( Being on the same boat is a metaphor for being on the same side. )

�Young master Cale, I hope that you return safely without hurting yourself this time.�

�I hope for the same as well.�

He had absolutely no plans to get hurt. Cale could see that Amiru started to frown like she didn�t believe him.

�I do not understand why his highness would send you to that dangerous place when you just finished your recovery. However, his highness is probably sending you because it is you, and he can trust you.�

Trust? The crown prince was not the type to trust anyone. Cale had no problem honestly saying that with a stiff expression.

�Really? I�m not so sure. He didn�t seem to trust me much at all.�

Amiru raised her voice at Cale�s bitter smile.

�Of course! Young master Cale, if it means anything, I trust you.� JrNovels.com
