What if Cale turned into a child? (Trash of the Count's Family Fanfiction)

What if Cale turned into a child? (14)

Well, it would've been cute if this reaction doesn't have any other intent from Cale. 

It wasn't an act, but he is indeed taking advantage of his reaction right now. Cale, who had been a child for nearly a week now have been keeping the stress to himself since day one and right now, his emotional state is a mess. Although Cale thought that this timing perfect. The two, Choi Han and Alberu won't be able to ask about his matter for now. But if they did, Cale can always answer by telling them the truth, a partial truth that is part of the whole truth. He's not lying since he's still telling the truth.

Cale felt his eyes stinging and damn he feel so frustrated. He didn't know children has this emotional state, well, he did go through being a child too, but his wasn't...normal to say.

Cale didn't know what exactly triggered this reaction, but the mixed feeling of embarrassment that he had to go through this situation just because he turned into a child and the feeling of fear when Alberu mentioned Ron's name. It's because Cale knew that his vicious butler will surely do what Alberu said earlier. It's Cale's natural instinct- it's an automatic response whenever his butler is mentioned. His fear towards the old assassin butler who pretends to be a good and kind butler with a benign smile is the factor that greatly contributed to this situation.

"C, Cale? What-"

Alberu was clearly shaken up. He don't know what to do watching the little redhead sitting there staring at him with accusing eyes and those teary eyes of Cale is making Alberu's mind go haywire, he can't even form a sentence but his lips were closing and opening with a shocked and worried expression.

"H, Human? What is it? Do you want apple pies?"
"Or do you want lemonade, nya?"

Cale's cheeks were turning red because of embarrassment, but of course, the others find this reaction even more alarming, especially Alberu who don't know what to do that he carefully carried Cale to his arms and hand him a cookie. 

Cale frowned while being held by Alberu and being given a cookie, but he still accepted it and started eating. Cale was still sniffling while eating the cookie but he felt himself calmed down.

'Damn these unstable emotions.'

Cale didn't forget to curse this side effect of him turning into a child to the culprit who did this to him. 

Cale glanced to Alberu who was observing him. Cale wanted to grin while looking at the Emperor's flustered expression but of course, he's feeling guilty too. He didn't want them to worry like this but he needs to take advantage of the situation. Eruhaben and Rosalyn will surely just make him sit tomorrow and won't let him touch any books or even documents. 

"Then, you can take me to the librawy. It's not like I'm going to overwowk."

Cale's eyebrows twitched from his lisp and decided to practice again later in the estate. 

Alberu looked at Cale with disbelief written on his face. He thought Cale would still push his way and won't let them go with him. But well, if Cale ever does, they'd still tag along. Not like Cale can shake them off.
