�Why is he smiling?�

Cale found it odd that Alberu was smiling.

��Your highness.�
�Hyung-nim.�
�Yes, sir. Hyung-nim. Umm, it might just be a hypothesis, but your ancestor might be the ancient White Star?�

Based on what Cale knew, the ancient White Star had suddenly appeared in the world and died in the final battle.
There were no records of his family, his past, or his relationships.
That was why there was no way of knowing whether he had any descendants, but for some reason, Cale felt like he was right.

�Either way, it�s not something good.�

Cale frowned at Alberu who seemed to be happy for some reason. Alberu raised his chin and asked him back.

�So what?�
�I guess that�s true. You�re right. There�s nothing you can do about that.�

Alberu used his hand to suppress the corners of his lips from twitching after seeing Cale nodding his head.

Alberu had been shocked to hear that the ancient White Star could be his ancestor.
However, he wasn�t a villain like that.
Furthermore, the past kings of the Roan Kingdom he knew about were never evil nor harmed the Roan Kingdom�s citizens even if some of them were useless kings. The kingdom had been in difficult times because of their inability to lead properly, but the future generations took responsibility and fixed it in order for them to survive until now.

�They thought that they could avoid the Sun God�s curse only by being the king of the Roan Kingdom.�

It was funny, but the heads of the Crossman household for generations had fought to survive.
That resulted in the Roan Kingdom being the oldest kingdom on the continent.

Alberu�s goal was to take the Roan Kingdom past this point of being just the oldest kingdom and making it even greater.

�Ah! Your highness, I told you that I was going to meet a sage, right?�
�Yes.�

He gently responded to Cale and waited for Cale�s next words with a relaxed mind.

�That sage was the World Tree.�
�Huh?�

�Who did he say?�

Alberu�s jaw dropped. The World Tree was an existence he had only heard about in legends. However, Alberu�s expression calmed down after hearing what Cale said next.

�That World Tree said that you were fated to exist in the Roan Kingdom, your highness.�

Cale could now tell why the World Tree randomly mentioned that Alberu was fated to be here. That was why he calmly shared his thoughts without any hesitation. JrNovels.com
