Brazenness Tames the Workaholic Trash

XLI

Cale falls asleep quickly.

A blonde woman with pink eyes and blonde hair looks at him with a big bright smile on her face.

He stood up and realised he was in a completely different place.

He looks up to see a dragon and a turtle crying in front of him.

The woman smiles and points to the vial containing the blood of the demon king, the essence of an immortal and a part of the world tree. However, he recognised that this is not yet the perfect cure. Athanasia will perish because it will continue to be poisonous.

The woman spoke in hushed tones and hovered around him.

She has the same appearance as Athanasia. Suddenly, a tear fell from her eyes, transforming the dark red vial into a pure crystal clear one.

"Who are you?"

The woman remained silent. Instead, she patted his head and cupped his cheeks.

She looks exactly like her.

"Athanasia'...."

Again, a smile.

"Go back to being happy, Cale..."

He came to while being buried by the rubble. He mustered all of his strength and blew the rubbles off of him.

He stood up, his blood stopped dripping, and his heart's vitality finally cured him.

"Faster..." He exclaims, "LUCAS!"

Kim Roksu and Lucas, who also awoke after being slapped by a dragon tail and a turtle tail, exclaim, "what?!"

"Let us go back."

Cintamani shone brilliantly. They all returned to Obelia via the Cintamani, but a blue flag was already flying near the Ivory Palace's pole. This means that a royal member became ill.

Cale rushed to Ivory Palace, oblivious to the pain he was in. Everyone looked at him with sadness and could not look him in the eyes.

He did not mind them and dashed into Athanasia's room. Claude sat in front of Athanasia's bed, his eyes hollow, as if he was crying.

Vicross and Lily looked at him. Two bundles were crying nonstop in their arms.

He approached them and patted both children, who stopped crying the moment his palms touched their cheeks.

Cale's face was adorned with a soft smile.

"Cale..."

"I know," Cale admitted, but he could not bring himself to cry in front of his children.

He felt indescribable joy when his hand touched their cheeks. A happy, satisfied feeling rose from the depths of his heart.

The family he could not have in his previous life, the broken family he awoke to and mended—now he has his own. Children who will become the centre of his and Athanasia's universe.

He kissed their foreheads and looked at Lily and Vicross. They actually look good with children together.

He stood up straight and approached Athanasia's bed, where she appeared to be sleeping. He looked at her calmly and opened the vial.

Trust in yourself, Cale.

He drank the contents and mouth-fed it to his wife.

He raised his head once Athanasia had finished the medicine.
