The Crimson Haired Trash

On The Move (1)

Cale was walking down the hall. His father had asked him to drop by his office before he left the dining hall at lunch.  He was currently standing in front of the door.

"Knock, knock" 

"You may come in" 

He then proceeded to walk inside the office and stand in front of his fathers desk. "You called for me father?" 

"Yes, I have something that I must discuss with you." 

Cale waited for his father to continue when he noticed Basen inside the room as well. 'Why is he here?' He and Basen made eye contact for a brief moment before his younger brother swiftly turned his head back to their father.

"Cale I decided to send you to the Capital instead of Basen. I wanted you to go as the representative this year." 

'Ah, I didn't expect that.' Cale thought. 'Although it is actually a good thing because that way Basen won't injure himself like last time, and now that I have a shield it would be more suitable for me to go instead of Basen anyway.' 

"If you're feeling better now I would like for you to go. Do those injuries still hurt?" Deruth asked. 

"No  they should be all healed now, so it's fine father." He said. Cale must have sounded upset or something because immediately after he had spoken Deruth started talking.

"Since you are the firstborn of our family it makes sense for you to go. Previously Basen had been attending these events throughout the years, but I hope that you can go this year." Deruth said, "You do not have to if you don't wish to, you must still be recovering." 

 Cale was confused at what he was saying. 'Why does he sound like he thinks I won't go?' 

"Father don't worry about it I will go

'Hyung-nim is so kind, this morning I saw him flinch when he stood up. He must still feel pain yet he's willing to go instead of me' Basen thought as he looked admirably at Cale.

What actually happened was  that when Cale was eating his steak he suddenly remembered Choi Han and his "Record" automatically started playing the moment where Choi Han beat Cale to a pulp. Seeing that made Cale flinch when he stood up. 

Meanwhile the poor misunderstood Cale, went to visit the kittens. 

Meow?

Meeeeeoooow!

The cats were excited for whatever reason because Cale saw them jumping up and down on his bed when he entered his room. 

"Why are you two so happy?" He asked as he entered the bathroom. 

Meow! The orange haired guy told us that we were going to the Capital! 

"Oh? When did I say you both were coming with me?"

The cats stopped jumping on the mattress when they heard him. When Cale was done he came out of the bathroom and glanced the pair of siblings. They were sitting on the bed their head turned to the wall as soon as he looked at them. If cats could pout then that's what they'd be doing right now, but Cale couldn't see them as he was facing the other way. 

"Don't worry though you both are coming with me, but we're making a few stops on the way." 

-meow? Meow! Yay! 

-Thank you Cale nya! 

Cale smiled slightly but then returned to his stoic face. 

"I have to go somewhere now, but I'll be back later okay?" he asked the two adorable cats.

They both shook their head still happy.

As Cale exited the manor he came face to face with Hans. 

"Where are you going young master Cale?" 

He sighed, 'why is he here now?' 

"Just for a walk, don't bother putting a tail on me. Bye" 

He left, leaving the now butler stunned at the gate. Truth be told, Cale still had to pick up the items from Billos which was actually the reason he was going out. As soon as he finished that he would set out tomorrow and try to rescue the dragon before Choi Han could kill him. There was no need for a child to die such a death, he would rescue him and let live freely and joyfully as a dragon should (get it? Raon Miru = Joyful Dragon). 

Cale then entered and found Billos at the counter. As soon as he saw Cale he came over immediately. 

"Young master Cale, I heard you were going to the Capital."

"Yes I am, do you have the stuff I asked for? I'm setting out tomorrow." 

"I do young master, and actually I'm also going there so we can meet there and—"

"Return the rented items? I will, now can you get them please? I have more stops to make today."

Billos was shocked once again when he asked politely. It was so odd, the once rude and trashy young master was being polite? It was such a sight to see. The other customers must of though so too since they looked even more astonished as him. Meanwhile Cale thought that the people were looking at him with anger or fear. It was normal since he was trash.

"Are you just going to stand there all day?"

"No, I'll get it right away." 

After Cale had gotten the stuff, he left as quickly as he came. He needed to find some allies and there was actually a good guild in Henituse territory (I made this up) which would make good allies for him. Now that was where he would be heading.
