Welcome Home

5: Can I Join?

"Welcome home."

A smooth voice greet him right after he opened the door to his room. He sighed.

'She really wait here alone.'

"Aren't you busy? You suppose to be at Caro Kingdom right now, right?"

Naily asked. According to her memory, Cale, Choi Han and Raon will be heading towards Caro Kingdom now.

She looked at him from head to toe. He still in his fancy suit. He must come from the celebration. Why is he here?

"Haaa."

Cale let out a heavy sigh. There are piles of book on the coffee table. He had been greeted by the same sight just like after he left a few days ago. Naily sat at the same spot.

He frowned. He closed the door back and ripped the teleportation magic scroll to the balcony at the palace.

What a waste of time. Why the hell he want to check on her?

"What's wrong with him?"

Naily baffled. Did he forgot something again? What's with that look on his face just now

Frustrated? Annoyed? Huh, did she had done something wrong?

•••••

“Thank you, you've been extremely helpful.” 

Now, Cale at the Lake of Despair to talk to the World Tree. Having a conversation with the World Tree right now help him to reorganise his own thought. He sighed internally when one problem after another came at him.

The Demon World was one thing and now the God of Death... There were so many problems. 

- It was nothing. By the way, Alberu Crossman was fated to exist in the Roan Kingdom. 

“...Excuse me?” 

Why was she suddenly talking about the crown prince? 

- I cannot tell you anything else about it. And Cale.

He slightly raised his eyebrows. Why this World Tree suddenly talked in a low voice?

- You got acquaintance with someone special, I see.

Hm? What is she talking about?

"I don't remember meeting someone special."

And then he remembered a certain ghost at his villa. Naily.

"Ah, it is she?"

- Then you already met. I thought you still not meet her yet.

Oh. He feels weird. His meeting with Naily is something that will and needs to happen? Why? Who is she exactly?

"May I ask who is she?"

The World Tree branch shook slightly.

- I don't think I can answer your question, Cale. Maybe I will lose two branches by answering your question. What I can say right now is that girl not supposed to be here.

Cale frowned. He just asked a thing about Naily but the answer can cause the World Tree to lost two branches? Now he curious. If that's the case then, Naily not your so called typical ghost. She suddenly appeared in this world right?

Hah. He sighed. He doesn't know anything about Naily's life because the owner of the name also didn't know herself. He will take care of it later.

“...I see. Anyway, thank you for your help.” 

- Cale. Do you think I will only help you out? 

‘Hmm? Now what is she talking about?’ 

Then they proceed with the next discussion. More works for him. Now, he needs to destroy a fake World Tree.
