Cale Singing Songs of his Past

I wouldn't mind it

Pope Jack and Holy maiden Hannah decided to visit the Henituse mansion to help find the three people, Mary came to help as well.

Hannah and Mary were making flower crowns for each other in the garden, definitely helping, not spending their date at the mansion.

Jack was watching Cale look at the instruments in the music room.

Surprisingly the children weren't with Cale, they went with Choi Han to search other territories for the three runaways.

There were many different instruments in the music room, he glances at the violins, he remembers that Amaris hasn't taught him how to play it, after all, she doesn't know how to play the violin as well.

Wandering into the corner of the music room, he sees a dusty guitar, picking it up and blowing off the dust, he tries it out.

The guitar was out of tune, no one has probably played it in a while.

Cale sat down next to Jack, making the younger blush a little.

Crossing his legs, Cale started to tune the guitar, he sighed, wishing guitar tuners exist in this world, plucking each string making sure it's the right tune, this sight amazed Jack. 'The young master is so talented!'

When Cale thinks the guitar is tuned, he strummed it, making a beautiful tune.

Cale smiled, finally perfecting the damned thing, this is why he kinda hated the guitar, it's annoying to tune it manually.

"Young master Cale, can you play a song with the guitar?" Jack asked.

Cale softly smiled. "I'm not really good at using the guitar, I only know a few songs."

"That's fine young master! I'm sure you do great as always!"

Cale slightly frowned at the younger's comment, he wasn't that great, he still remembered the day when he accidentally messed up while performing, it was embarrassing.

Placing his fingers on the strings, he started, sparing himself from the complex fingerstyle part at the beginning, he strummed his heart out.

Merrily we fall out of line, out of line

I'd fall anywhere with you, I'm by your side

There was already an audience the moment he strummed the first couple of notes. Hannah and Mary leaned in closer to each other and enjoyed Cale's pleasant singing.

Swinging in the rain, humming melodies

We're not going anywhere until we freeze

Deruth ordered the mages to start recording his sons' singing, adding one more to his collection.

I'm not afraid, anymore

I'm not afraid

'I'm not afraid to love again'

Forever is a long time

But I, wouldn't mind spending it by your side

Jack blushed at the lyrics of the song, he felt as if the young master was singing this especially for him, his heartbeat sped up at the thought while he looked away from the young master to hide his reddened face.

Carefully we'll for our destiny

You came and you took this heart and set it free

The people listening wondered who was able to catch the young master's heart.
Deruth was ready to kill the person if they weren't worthy enough. (Heck he'll never give away his son even if it was the Emperor or a dragon, maybe even a God.)

Every word you write or sing is so warm to me, so warm to me

I'm torn, I'm torn, to be right where you are

Jack blushed more, his mind making up some scenes of him marrying the young master because of the lyrics.

I'm not afraid anymore,

I'm not afraid

Forever is a long time

But I wouldn't mind it spending it by your side

If she was still here, if she was still alive, Cale really wouldn't mind being with her forever.

Tell me every day I get to wake up to that smile

I wouldn't mind it at all

I wouldn't mind it at all

'I would love to see your smile every day young master, I would love to see you smile because of me' Jack blushed more at his thoughts, young master Cale would really look better if he smiled.

You so know me

'I may not know much about you but I'm willing to learn more about you'

Pinch me gently

'squeezing those unblemished cheeks would be a sin'

I can hardly breathe

'Your existence itself is breathtaking'

Forever is a long time

But I wouldn't mind spending it by your side

Tell me every day I get to wake up to that smile

I wouldn't mind it all

I wouldn't mind all

Jack applauded Cale when he finished, giving Cale compliments on how great and talented he is making the older blush, Cale doesn't really get many compliments except his friends.

Deruth and the other servants reluctantly left the music room's front door, they still wished to stay just in case Cale was going to sing again, but they feared they might get caught.

Hannah and Mary were leaning against each other, with flower crowns on top of their head they were lulled to sleep because of Cale's singing.

Jack kept singing praises of Cale making the older's face turn into a tomato, Cale hasn't been complimented of his singing in a long time so his immunity to it dropped.
