�Not at all.�

The Butler who knew about Cale�s identity quickly looked around.

The guards outside the Duke�s bedroom were looking at Cale with sad expressions.
Their expressions seemed to be asking how shocked he must be to even forget the location of his father�s bedroom.

�I will open the door.�

The knight cautiously told Cale and the now grey-white haired Cale nodded his head.

Screeeech-

The door opened and Cale could smell a strong odor of medicine as he noticed Duke Fredo lying on his bed as if he was dead.

��I wish to be alone with my father.�
�I understand.�

The Vampire healer next to Duke Fredo left the room. Cale slowly entered the room alone.
His slow steps made the staff and knights all look at him with sorrow.

Screeeech-

The door slowly closed.
But before it closed�

�Father.�

The last thing they saw was a young boy kneeling next to the bed and holding his father�s hand.

The knight closing the door bit down on his lips to prevent himself from tearing up and quickly closed the door.
He didn�t want to interrupt this family moment between a father and his son.

Click.

The door finally closed.

The young boy held the unconscious Duke Fredo�s hand and looked toward his closed eyes.
He then moved his face toward Fredo�s ear and started to whisper.

�Hey, I thought you said the White Star is coming soon. What�s the plan?�

The unconscious Duke Fredo started to speak at that moment.

�Heh. Son, what is the issue?�
�Son, my ass.�

Duke Fredo slightly opened his eyes after hearing Cale�s grumbling. He then warmly started to speak to Cale. JrNovels.com
