A new life for a new problem

Chapter 16

Most of the nobles were intrigued by this rumor but it wasn't really something interesting to them, young master Cale wasn't even the main heir of his family so whether he died or not they didn't care. The only interesting point was that it could destabilize Count Deruth, they could maybe use it to recover his territory or his wealth.

The only nobles who were worried about this new rumor were the nobles of the Northeast, Cale's friends or rather his old friends. They had gathered the next day each having heard the rumor.

They were around a table with a cup of tea each in the Wheelsman family estate. None of them had touched their cup yet, simply looking at it as if it had offended them.

"Do you think this is true?" Amiru asked first, she was as worried as the other two.

"I tried to call Count Deruth but I couldn't talk to him." Eric tried all morning but nothing worked, the count was unreachable. He was ready to go knock on the door of the county himself but his friends called him to talk about it.

"From what I heard, a doctor had been called to the Henituse estate. And one to Puzzule city where they were on their way to the capital, a priest was then called urgently and they ended the journey with a teleportation mage to the Henituse estate of the capital. This rumor comes from knights and servants of Henituse, it can only be true." Amiru and Eric thought about Gilbert's words, they had to see Cale quickly and make sure he was okay. But do they even have the right to do that, after so long without speaking to him...

A little flashback.

Cage had been bothered by the god of death since they arrived in Puzzule City, bullshit about a savior and a human that even the gods couldn't predict. She finally gave in and went near the rock towers but there was nothing, no one she could think of as a savior. She ignored him, thinking it was the same bullshit as usual. The god of death then went silent for a whole day before becoming even more annoying than possible, he literally harassed her all day and night this lasted for 3 days before she finally gave up.

"What do you want from me at the end?! Are you trying to drive me crazy?!"

Taylor looked at her worriedly, he had seen her become more and more annoyed as the days went by.

Cage was forced to listen to her or he would never stop. This was the first time she had heard him sound so frantic and worried.

«I forgot to tell him something... I'm sure he's mad at me, he was already mad...» The god looked more like a child than a god, but she was intrigued, what kind of person could make a god like that? He seemed afraid of being scolded.

"What are you talking about?"

«I forgot to tell him something, and he got hurt because of me, again... I almost killed him already...»

Cage grimaced in confusion and frustration. "Maybe you should start telling me who you're talking about before you start talking nonsense!"

«A red-haired noble... Cale Henituse! You need to talk to him, he can help you and your friend and you can help him in return...» The god continued to speak but Cage had stopped listening after the person's name. It couldn't be true, even if a rumor of the young master being seriously ill had started to circulate.

«You really have to find him and warn him... I don't want to hurt him any more!»

"Let's say it's true, why don't you do it yourself?" Yeah that was a good question.

"He'll be indebted to you and can help your friend. I can't intervene in the human world as I wish unfortunately..." Now he seemed sad.

Cage could contradict him here, he seems to have no restrictions to come and bother her. She told Taylor everything, they both had to decide what to do now.
