Trash of the Royal Family (Ao3)

"So... what are you going to do next?" Cale asks Callen over tea one day. Cale Henituse realized he wasn't a kid anymore after Callen reminded him.

When he dismissed them, the toddler raised his hand, and Ron and Choi Han exchanged glances.

Cale turned to Callen and said, "You're changing things here on your end just as much as I do in the County."

"I'm just a good brother who wants to see my beloved brothers happy," Callen said, looking at him, "so? Why are you here?"

"Aren't I doing a wonderful job as your mommy?"

What a pathetic excuse! But neither of them mentioned how useless their excuses are.

Cale Henituse has always been refined and sophisticated. Except for his infamous reputation, no one can find fault with his actions.

"You should have a picnic on one of the hills in your area," Callen suggested. He wanted that ancient power at first, but after realizing that his demi-god body and ancient powers are incompatible, he decided to bet on Cale Henituse. "You should bring a sack of bread and wish for some stone on your way here."

Cale Henituse smiled and said, "the banquet was supposed to be held as Crown Prince Selection, but now it's your birthday party as well as the official announcement for the selection, you should leisurely stroll around the hunting area and corner some feral bunnies. They're going for the beast despite being herbivores."

They both had the same innocent grin.

"All right, mommy, see you at the banquet soon."

"Please also keep in mind that I intend to strike a deal with his Highness, Baby Callie."

"I know, it's about the forest of darkness, right?" Callen said with a smile.

"Yes... before my regression, the whales and mermaids went to war, and the mermaids had some power up. I haven't uncovered the entirety of that incident, but the lake described by Choi Han had something powerful in it... I planned on taking control of the forest of darkness."

"There could be some ancient power there."

"Not only that, but I suspect the dead mana there has something to do with the mermaids... but I'm not sure how they get there."

[It's a dragon's dead mana.]

Cale Henituse looked up when Callen heard that. "Mommy, if you ever get some of the dead mana, will you trade it to me?"

Alver Crossman is a quarter dark-elf. Cale was there when alver was purified by the Church of the Sun God.

"I made the right decision by partnering with you."

"Then you should assist in bringing Hyunnie to our side; if he becomes king, we'll be safe." Callen groaned, "and... wasn't it wonderful to have a place where all races could freely live?"

The vision was the same. Cale would think Callen and Alver are brothers if he didn't know Callen was a transmigrator.

Cale Henituse hands over some paper with information for the upcoming banquet. Cale also receives a piece of paper with drawings on it from Callen.

"I hope you have a safe journey."

"When I get back," Cale Henituse promised, "I'll give you something special." "I had intended to rob someone before coming here. I'll give you a pretty decent gift on your birthday."

Soon after, Alver appeared, frowning at the sight of Cale Henituse. Cale Henituse felt right at home in his palace, as he always does!

"What exactly are you doing here?"
