Chapter: 69
Today was the day that Cale would leave the Henituse territory and head toward the capital.
�It doesn�t look like you are nervous.�
Cale smiled instead of responding to his father�s statement. Cale�s complexion had gotten much better in the last few days. It had no choice but to get better.
�Since I didn�t get beaten to a pulp.�
It was raining in the Henituse territory until yesterday. If the story went as it did in the novel, Cale would have been beaten to a pulp on a rainy day. Of course, Cale was not beaten up yesterday.
He could also sleep well now. This was because he could feel the Indestructible Shield always surrounding his heart. Knowing that he could manage to survive, even if he did something wrong to someone like Ron or Beacrox, made it easier for him to sleep at night.
�Father.�
Cale looked at the breakfast spread that was fancier than ever before, as he asked.
�It looks like the number of people in the envoy has grown again. I asked you to reduce the number.�
He had asked his father to decrease the number of servants accompanying him to help with his needs. He said that Hans and Ron were enough. Of course, Hans turned pale at first, however, he started to pack right away after hearing that the kittens will be traveling with them as well.
�Ah, about that��
For some reason, Deruth stopped his sentence without finishing. At that moment, someone else�s voice interjected itself into their conversation.
�That was my decision.�
It was the Count�s wife, Violan.
Her hair was perfectly formed in a bun, without a single stray hair, as she was looking down at her plate. She looked so similar to her son, Basen. Even the way they both did not make eye contact with Cale and had a stoic expression was the same.
�We can�t have someone from our family looking poor and terrible just because you want to go with such a small envoy.�
It was an extremely stoic voice. Violan then lifted up her gaze to look in Cale�s direction before continuing on.
�� I am not saying you are terrible.�
�Even I know that much.�
Violan hesitated for a moment after hearing Cale�s response, before taking another bite of her food and continuing to speak.
�People, especially nobles, care a lot about appearances.�
The Countess Violan. Cale quietly watched her.
She was born as the eldest daughter of a poor artist�s family, and had dreamt about being the head of a merchant guild when she grew up. She was influenced by the luxury items being sold to the nobles and came to the Henituse territory. Once she got here, she fell in love with the art of sculpting.
Eventually, she met Count Deruth and fell in love, living as the director for the territory�s cultural business operations. JrNovels.com
