Of course, that was not the only thing they had planned.

�At the same time, we were planning on harming the White Star and a portion of his forces even if we had to destroy that underground area.�

Alberu already knew about this as well.

�And?�

He asked Cale and soon received a response.

��I failed.�

Alberu was silent for a few seconds after seeing the sad look on Cale�s face before quickly responding.

�It�s fine. You can�t always be successful.�

Alberu frowned a bit after seeing Cale not saying anything in response. Cale brushed his face with both hands.
Alberu had never seen Cale like this before. He did not like seeing the usually pompous and calm bastard acting like this.

�Everything you have done until now has been amazing already. And it�s fine as long as all of you made it back alive. You remember what I said, right? I told you to come back to the Roan Kingdom if it doesn�t look like it will work out.�
��I remember it.�

Cale responded that he remembered with a serious look on his face before shutting his mouth again.
That made Alberu remember that this punk had just become an adult.

�A punk who has always succeeded probably feels frustrated and angry after failing like this.�

He finally realized that the odd vibe in the room was because the others were wary of Cale�s current emotions.
Alberu then remembered something and started to speak.

�But by the reports I received, I heard there were dead bodies found in the desert.�
�They are from the White Star�s side.�
�Really? It doesn�t look like you failed completely.�

Alberu exaggerated a little bit more trying to console the serious Cale.

�If some people from the White Star�s side died, doesn�t that mean you damaged the White Star�s forces as you intended? That�s enough.�
�That is not the problem.�

�Hmm?�

Alberu stopped consoling Cale after seeing him sternly shake his head.

�There�s a different issue?�

�Your highness.�
�Yes. Speak freely without worrying about formalities. Call me hyung too.� JrNovels.com
