King's maker

Chapter-41-reception room.

Cale was speechless he tried to speak but his mouth just opened and no word came out.

"Got it, Cale Henituse." Cale like a child who just got scolded for something bad. Deruth may be a terrible father but he is still a father.

He wouldn't be a father of three if he didn't know how to handle his three children who are too unique from normal children.

I mean, what kind of children of nobility bounce the seat of the family head like they are bouncing volleyball to each other.

Some families even kill each other to get those kind of seat for example. *cough* the *cough* Stan *cough* family *cough*, but here are his children.

Deruth stood up as he went near his son and petted his head. "Cale, you know what I'm doing is for your own good." "But-"

Cale still didn't look up at Deruth. Deruth sigh. "Cale I know I haven't been a father to you at all, but I want to make up. I know I'm too late by a lot to be apologizing now and-"

Deruth held Cale's hand like he was holding his most precious. "I want you to know that I always love you and will still be loving you in the future.

You are my son and my most precious treasure. You can hit me, curse at me or even kill me, but I will never stop worrying about you.

I can't be more thankful to have you born as my son. That's why son, I'm so so sorry. I'll even beg on my knee if that's what I have to do to get your forgiveness, but right now would you let this Father take care of you?"

Cale didn't say anything at first but a small voice came out soon. "You're late." "I know."

"I know." "You're horrible." "I know." "You kept me waiting." "I'm sorry." " You hurt me." "I know." "You're really really horrible." "I'm sorry Cale." 

Cale look up at Deruth with a tear stained face. Deruth become stunned for a few moments. How long has it been since he has seen Cale cry like this, not even at his mother's funeral did Cale cried.

Maybe Cale did, but he was trapped in his own misery to wipe that little child face but the time he did, He wiped his tears, but Cale just started crying more.

Deruth didn't know what to do. "Father you're a horrible person and made me miserable. You made me, you made a small child, your own son, console you.

I lost my mother too. Did you even know that when you left the branch family tried to kill me and take over the county."

"What?" He didn't know, he didn't know anything. "I have to fend them off all of my own. If Ron wasn't there, I wouldn't even be standing here right now."

His son, his most precious treasure almost disappear. Is this the reason why Cale trusted Ron so much,  even more than him, his father.

Deruth didn't imagine, he couldn't imagine what would've happened if the branch family succeeded. He would be able to take the family back but what about his son, his baby Cale.

Cale was only eight back then. He really was a terrible person. He could've lost his son. Deruth swear that he will make them pay for everything they did.

"-but do you know the result of that, I accidentally took someone else's father away. Beacrox hyung was young, but then Ron has to take care of me. Ron didn't have the time for hyung anymore.

Do you know how much it made me feel bad and when you came back with Mother without any prior notice, do you know how that made me feel?

It hasn't even been a year since mother died and after that when the family started bullying Basen and Mother, I, a nine year old child had to stand up to protect them. Do you know that?"
