Chapter 201-205

Tap, tap.
Cale was quickly walking down the stone steps. His brother, Basen Henituse, was walking next to him while continuing his report.

"The Whale tribe discovered the enemy ships at the first boundary of the Northeastern Ocean."

The northeast region's sea route's first boundary.
This location was the border between the Norland Kingdom and the Forest of Darkness.

"They are moving pretty quickly and should arrive at the Roan Kingdom in two to three days."

Basen continued to observe his hyung-nim as he reported out.

'He hasn't even wiped away the blood......!'

Cale was walking while being covered in blood. Basen clenched his teeth after seeing Cale moving around without rest even though the battle had just ended as he quickly continued his report.

"The Ubarr liege and the representative of the Gilbert liege are currently requesting reinforcements."

Cale listened to Basen's report before starting to speak.

"Your highness."
– ...Yes.

Basen still had the video communication device in his arms.
It was directly connected to crown prince Alberu Crossman.

His father, Count Deruth Henituse, was currently dealing with the nobles of the northeast region and the rest of the kingdom.

Alberu looked toward Cale, whose tired and dirty face expressed that he had been at the center of the battle, with a stiff expression. Cale did not care about any of this as he only had one thought in his head as he started to speak.

'I'm hungry.'

This gluttonous shield wanted even more food after fusing with the Vitality of the Heart. Cale was quickly taking care of business so that he could go eat something.

"Please send the First Mage Brigade and the First Brigade of the Royal Knights to the Ubarr shores."
– Again?
"What are you thinking about doing with the Whale tribe?"
– I am still debating whether to have them fight with us or to still hide their identity.

Tap.
Cale stopped walking.

"Your highness, I know you probably have a lot of things you are curious about, but I will contact you later."
– Alright, I understand.
"Basen, you go help father."

Shouldn't Basen learn a lot of things now if he was to become the future lord of the territory?
Cale looked toward Basen, who was not moving, with an odd expression. Basen looked at where they had arrived as he started to speak.

"...Hyung-nim, why are you trying to do all of the difficult and strenuous tasks?"

This area had been closed off for tens of years.
It was the underground prison.

He could see a faint light inside. Basen found it hard to understand this hyung-nim of his that was trying to send him away.

'Why, why does he always try to do all of the hard things on his own......!'

He found it hard to understand.

However, Cale was having the opposite thought and found it difficult to understand Basen's point of view.
'Difficult and strenuous tasks?
I didn't want to deal with the other territories or the temples so I came here to do the easy task.'

Cale just said whatever came to mind as he could not understand Basen's point of view.

"It is not hard. This type of task is more suited for me. You should head back up."
