Chapter: 526

Cale bluntly spoke, and a loud voice rang through the office.

�Hello, nice to meet you!�

Mueller seemed to have eaten well the last few days, as he looked much better than when Cale had found him in the Tower.

�My name is Mueller Hon, the successor to the Hon family that has specialized in construction and development for over 200 years. I will do my best with any task you give me!�

It was a very loud introduction. Deruth was confused.

Construction? Development?

He looked toward his son with confusion. At that moment, Cale called out to him.

�My lord.�

Cale did not call Deruth father, nor even Count. That action made Deruth become serious as well. Cale was now addressing Deruth as the lord of the territory.

�I heard that you were reinforcing the castle walls. I�m sure you have a reason for it?�

Deruth had been reinforcing the castle walls starting around when Cale had headed to the capital. The reason for that came out of his son�s mouth.

�I believe you expect that the era of wars will start soon as well, my lord?�

Cale could see his father�s eyes turn cloudy. Cale pushed Mueller in front of him.

�This guy is the descendant of the family that built the Magic Tower.�

Cale could see Deruth flinch. Castle reinforcement, Magic Tower, Cale knew Deruth had understood.

�Father.�

Cale spoke to his father, Deruth.

�Let�s give it a try.�

�Give what a try?�

Deruth asked, even though he already knew the answer. Cale was naturally aware of this.

�Father, what are you afraid of?�

Deruth could not answer the sudden question. However, his son responded after a moment.

�I am afraid that we will get hurt.�

Deruth�s eyes became cloudy. It was the same. The thing he feared was the same as his son. No matter how selfish it may be, Deruth was scared that his territory and his family would get hurt. JrNovels.com
