This time, I will protect them(TCF/TBOH Fanfic)

Life

The moment Ron saw Beacrox threw his young master, he recalled a memory when The Late Countess was alive. The Count and Late Countess had endlessly said how cute Young master Cale was and that made the pride of little Kid feel hurt.

So he asked his father how can he grow up fast and The Count said that he could be like a tree. And, even though Cale was smart, the kid had a lot to learn, take that to his heart's content. He remembers when he found his young master along with his son, The kid was happy...under the dirt and his son was with the shove.

"...Beacrox...why?"

"The young master asked if I can plant him like a tree, he wants to grow faster."

His son looked at him with no emotion like normal.

"You...know that can't right...?"

Ron had to ask and earn a nod from his son.

"But he said Hyung, He calls me Hyung."

Ron still heard the sound of the Late countess laughing and the defeated noise came from the Count at that time. Honestly, It's funny for him too. Now, his son was doing that again after the young master called him Hyung. He almost forgot how his son easily give up only just that.

Despite their worry, Cale doesn't think he will die when he chooses to approach the crazy Dragon. He touches the Dragon's forehead and whispers.

"There, there, calm down. I will save you."

Because They are far away, no one sees the light come from the place Cale touches the dragon. Cale hisses, the large mana, and his life force are a mess. It will be impossible to do anything a normal person could do. But Cale is never a normal kid. His life force, being sucked out of his body and the large mana, forced into his none mana body causing pain like everyone stomping in his body, hitting and beating him inside. To the point, the tips of his eyelids drop a tear.

Cale, being a not normal kid, chooses to share life force and mana with the dragon. His body might explode but thanks to the life force of the dragon being large, It helps the mana transfer to his body easily. The reason he choose it was because the dragon unconsciously used his life force. So he will take the life force of a dragon and mix it with his to have control too to guide the dragon to calmness. But It causes his none mana body his hurt like a glass that tries to contain the Water that wants to explore. So his glass like the body needs to fix to contain more. The life force of the dragon help to cover the crack of this glass.

"What...what are you?"

The dragon began to gain consciousness, looking in disbelief at the human. As great and mighty as he is, he still doesn't know why this human does that. Does he want his power? But he can be explored! So...does he want to..save him?

"Ha...hah...you...you are still young right? You might be a big dragon now, but your age is still young right? "

He saw in his memory, information he doesn't know where said that the dragon was only four years old. He tries to take a breath as the dragon holds him in his large hand, trying to understand everything the little human has done.

"...you are stupid. Every human is a liar...but then...why..why did I want to believe in you..."

"You are right, you can't easily trust anyone. Even me...haha..."

It hurt like hell but he can feel it calmly in his body. From now on, their life was shared. The moment Dragon dies, the moment he dies, and the opposite. But, he can easily cut off the link if he wants, when that time comes, when he dies, he will transfer his last life force to the dragon so the dragon won't get berserk again. The dragon doesn't know the cut link.

"I won't-"

"You don't have to come with me. I mean, you are big too..."

The dragon looks at him with a look to ask if he is crazy. But soon he gives up trying to understand this human.

"Fine, I will do what I want, don't die too soon."

The dragon flies toward the people who run to him. He takes the boy's collar and put him down.

[This boy is yours, right? Here you go]

And flies away under the surprised eyes of everyone.

"Ca- CALE!"

Cale wants to stand up and smile but the moment the dragon flies away, his feet stumble and drop to the floor, becoming unconscious.

_______________

After being nagged for two whole days of the rest day he said to his employee, they are all packed up to went to Puzzle city.

"The stone is like the past."

It is ugly as how he remembers. Cale also tries to make conversation because after nagging him, Beacrox and Ron decide to ignore him till he learns his lesson. Cale sighed, why now he knows they are this childish?!

"Young master, do you want to hear the story of those wishing stones?"

"No."

Cale, of course, knows this, he had learned it since he was young. But despite what he said, Hans continue to tell him the story of it.

He looked at Choi Han, who after hearing the story decided to wish. Maybe because he is staring without hiding, Choi Han looked at him.

"Do you want to make a wish? There is a lot though?"

Choi Han is not sure about this, what kind of wish did the young master of the wealthy family want? While Cale blankly stares at him before replying.

"I don't want to get my hope up. "

There was a time young Cale thought that his mother was just playing with him and one day, his mother would come back. In the end, Cale realized it would never happen. There was a time, Cale did hope someone look through his act. But Cale was proud of his acting skill, no one can look through it. How funny those hopeful wishes were.

"I will take what I want to take, no need to wish for it."

Cale closed his eyes before opening them again and sees his subordinates looking at him weirdly. Did he say something wrong?

"I'm sorry, Are you The young masters from Henituse Household?"

Cale heard a soft gentle voice behind him and turn over to meet a soft gaze toward him. He was stunned for a bit because It had been so long since he sees this kind of gaze except for Ron, looking at him.
