[KIM Roksu'S POV]

He honestly couldn't keep up with Cale right now.

He's married. I couldn't even get married.

He'll be a father and now he's charging towards a Grade 5 demon king without plans.

This suicidal maniac is challenging his patience!

"CALE HENITUSE!" he caught the redhead and punched him in the gut! He might be on the edge but he shouldn't try to commit double suicide with him! He loved his current life, his baby's mom, and the fact that he'd be a godfather to his lovely (former) body's children. "I know you're a bastard! but don't include me in your death wish!" and guts Cale again.

"You Bastard!" Kim Roksu pulled him down and made him look at him.

"That's a Grade 5 Demon King. It can't be defeated with ordinary means. To kill it, we must destroy that red thing on its forehead."

"It's a one-time bet. But Grade 4 Instant can—"

"Brother." Kim Roksu stared at him and said, "You were Kim Roksu before you became Cale Henituse. If you want to get killed, I'm out!"

Cale frowned but somehow it made him realize one thing.

He is the perfectionist Kim Roksu—one who makes thousands of plans. One who would never go to war without any preparation.

Cale laughed and said, "I am indeed."

Kim Roksu let out a sigh of relief.

Both of them meet with Lucas.

They talked about how to battle the Demon King when they reached an agreement.

They began to battle with it for 7 days and 7 nights.

[ATHANASIA'S POV]

Cale has been gone for two weeks looking for a a cure for her and their children. She felt her stomach kick, as if to tell her to stop worrying and concentrate on calming herself.

But—

She can not shake the feeling that she will die without ever seeing Cale again.

"Princess?"

"I am scared..." Lily was her mother. She was the only one by her side and the person for whom she cared as if she were a parent.

"I am afraid of dying without even seeing my husband's face for the last time."

"Why are you thinking about dying?" Lily inquired. Her voice was tinged with concern.

"I am trying to believe that I will live, but... it is just hope that is too far away to reach."

What is it that kills hope? Athanasia had an answer: it was fate.

"Will... Cale take care of our children? or... will he do the same as the Emperor?" she reflected on her life and how she chose to live.

Choi Han, Cale's most trusted Knight and Alver Crossman, kneeled in front of her, her soulful voice echoing painfully.

"Athanasia... Your Highness, the wife of Rowoon's Grand Martial."

"I swear in my name that Cale will do everything in his power to save you, and even if he fails, your children will live comfortably in peace and happiness," Alver Crossman said.

"I swore with my sword," Choi Han said firmly, "Cale-nim is not the kind of person you expect him to be."

Athanasia greeted her husband's sworn brother and most trusted knight with a smile. Even the people of the duchy were looking at her with determination.
