Constellations' Musing [TCF fanfiction]

The Finale (pt. 2)

At this moment, those who were invited into the scenario were waiting patiently for their friend and family to open his eyes.

It's been nearly two hours of waiting.

And the ticking sounds of the clock seems to get louder as they waited.

+

"Human!"

A loud voice of that black dragon rings in Cale's ear as soon he felt himself regaining his consciousness.

+

"Finally..."

Many people were holding their breath as they watched those weak eyelids fluttering open.

+

"..."

Cale is frowning just as soon he manages to peel his eyes before closing them shut again as if he's in pain.

+

'Right... his soul was breaking down...'

Sheritt wishes that she could leave her castle and check on her son's guardian herself. However, she couldn't. And all that she can do is patiently waiting until Cale was good enough to be moved.

+

"Cale-nim, Are you okay? Is your body hurting a lot?"

Choi Han's worried voice came in next.

That red-headed male slowly reopened his eyes once more after hearing that. He fixes his expression first before then turning to Choi Han with an answer.

"No... just a nightmare"

His nonchalant reply seemed to startle the others while Cale stared dumbfoundedly before then blinked as if he noticed the odd atmosphere around him.

+

"No, It would be weird if someone as attentive as Cale-nim did not catch that something is happening"

Clopeh commented calmly as he paid close attention on what would happen next...

His gut instinct tells him that this would be something big.

+

His gaze turned sharp, especially when he heard a familiar name being called by someone who's not supposed to know.

"Kim Rok Soo"

The caller was Deruth, who, along with the rest of Henituse family, had teleported to the Sun Palace to meet Cale who finally wake up.

Cale did not react much as he just did his best attempt to get seated, but only able to do so once Choi Han helped him.

'I guess I can't call him Father right now'

It was not the right time.

Deruth must have felt betrayed and furious.

+

'As expected of Young Master Cale...'

Rosalyn couldn't help but think so.

Even though he must have felt betrayed and furious himself, Cale still think of the others and remain composed for the sake of everyone.

+

However, just as Cale opened his mouth to answer to the call, the Duke continued with his words.
