"Why!?" he shouted as he showed the documents in front of the Emperor.

"Why did you do this Alberu!?"

Cale shouted as he slam his hands in the table in front of him. His eyes were gleaming with fury and sadness. It must've hurt him so much how the person he trusted betrayed him.

"Why Why Why! Alberu why!"

Nose were red. Tears started to run down his cheeks. Then he called a lightning in his hands. It was the cheaptake's power, the Fire of Destruction.

"Alberu i-i trusted you..." he said weakly while looking at the Emperor in front of him in his eyes. The Emperor's eyes where shaking violently.

"Cale is not what you think-"

"It's not what i think!? It clearly says here in this damn paper all i need to know and you're saying that its not what i think!?"

"Cale its not like that damnit you're misunderstanding all of this!" Alberu said while sweating of buckets. Hands trying to reach for the redhead.

*****

Bangg!

"Human! Wake up! Its already noon and the crown prince is calling!" Raon shouted while the poor door was turned into dust since a vicious cute little black dragon decided not to use the door knobs.

Yawnn

"Morning Raon and its not crown prince anymore" Cale said while rubbing his eyes cutely.

"Who cares! Anyway human here" Raon said as he handed the communication device to Cale who has still bed hair and not yet fully awake.

Raon turned on the device and what Cale saw was the face of his stupid hyung-nim with dark eye bags; probably because of the mountain of paperwork and the numerous cup of coffee that you can see beside him.

His hair that resembles the sun look dull too. Seriously does this idiot even sleeps? He look so pale, his lips had cracks and he looks like he is corpse or something white.

But nonetheless, the only thing Cale can help him with is by-

"Good morning Your Imperial Majesty. I am very honored to see you working very hard for our humble country to flourished. This lowly peasant will-"

Annoying him.

"Enough. You seriously drives me nuts every fucking time." Alberu said while frowning.

"Spit it out"

"Huh?"

"You just destroyed my perfect sleep so stop beating around the bush and spit it out."

"As expected of Young Master Silver Shield-"

"Stop it." he said while his face was saying 'what-kind-of-disgusting-thing-are-you-spewing-right-now?'.

"Can you..."

"...Can you come here? In the palace? Some of the nobles started to question my righteousness of being an Emperor again ever since the day i revealed that I'm a quarter dark elf. It was quite troublesome."

'So can you help me'

That was what he was trying to say. Normally people won't understand that, but since Cale is someone like him he definitely understood it.

Worryness can be seen in his eyes as he talk about the issues that has been brought up to him by his most loyal subordinate. Stating how some nobles started to rebel like an idiot.

'What's wrong being a dark elf anyway? Is it because they use dead mana or is it because Alberu can live up to 500 years?' he thought.

If it was the former, he can just suggest that only the dark elves personnel can buy and distribute the dead mana.

But if its the latter...

'Ill just think of that later'

"Okay then."

"Thanks-"

"But you need to give me a golden plaque. You know that my service aren't free right." he said while smiling mischievously.

"You..."

Sigh

"...Fine you greedy bastard."

"I thanked you, Your Imperial Majesty for trusting this lowly-"

Click

Alberu ended the call as Cale startes to annoy him once again.

"Heh. Raon call Ron for me, tell him i to prepare a bath and a clothes since where going to the palace."

"Okay human."

~~~~~

Shunngggg

A magic circle appeared in the room of the, once crown prince, Emperor who was drowning in the ocean of documents. Some of them where even scattered in the floor.

"Hyung-nim...you

you look like shit" Cale said as soon as his eyes caught the figure of Alberu. He looks like he had not sleep for weeks because of those dark eye bags underneath his eyes.

"Haaa. Nice to see you too" Alberu said weakly as he had no more strength left to even argue with this dongsaeng of his, plus he really looked like shit after all.

He motioned his dongsaeng to sit in the chair in front of him but the bastard just laid in the most comfy couch with his son beside him while munching on a cookie on who-knows-where-did-he-get-it.

Seeing his dongsaeng relax demeanor made him want to shove all of this documents in Cale's face but if he did that the little cute black dragon will definitely blow up the entire palace. So no.

"So what happened earlier?"

Cale didn't beat around the bush and just straight to the point questioned Alberu since he is also busy. Busy slacking.

"Like what i told you beforehand, some nobles started to rebel. Most of them were part of Marquis Ailan function."

"Hmm that's not unexpected at all since he never really supported you in the first place even when the war was still going on. He even dared to corner me in that one time too after all. All that bastard care for was power and fame after all."

"..That's right"

"But to think he had guts to do those shitty things. Tsk Tsk. So what do you need my help for?" he asked as the Emperor was still not saying anything about it.

"Can you do a little...'cleaning'...maybe?"he said while emphasizing the word cleaning.

"Nope You're Imperial Majesty."

"Then maybe you can help me with this-"

"I will do the cleaning now."

'This bastard'

Alberu's brows twitched in annoyance when Cale agreed with the cleaning so fast when he asked him to help him with the documents.

"Don't you want to help this hyung-nim a little since your dear hyung-nim is struggling because of the numerous documents in his desk?" he said while smiling brightly at him.

'Why don't you help me here since you're not busy and this is all the cause of the problem you cause me anyway'

Cale squinted his eyes as he thought that he might be blinded by those lights his hyung-nim is releasing, but still get on what his hyung-nim really wants.

"My my hyung-nim, i may not look like it but i'm pretty busy too you know." he said while pouting.

'Nope, you're the one who wants to be an emperor so why would i help you huh'

"Please Cale ill give you another two golden plaques and a jar of cookie" Alberu said as he really had no choice but to seek his dongsaeng help.

He may not say it out loud but Cale is the person he truly trust the most. Cale is reliable in things like this too unlike Choi Han who only knows how to destroy.

"Three"

"Huh?"

"Three jar of cookies"

"Fine fine just help me with this"

He shoved one stacked of documents, that was sitting in his table, in his dongsaeng face.

Cale doesn't really like to work especially paperworks but what can he do? Because of Alberu, he now have his lovely slacker life he had always dreamt of. So lets just help him.

~~~~~

Swish swish swish scribble

The sound of the papers and the scribble of the pen is the only sound you can hear inside of the Emperor's office as the two figure inside was both silent, both were too focused in the work that was in front of them.

Cale was the one who inspects the documents while Alberu was the one approving of them. When Cale's eyes caught something.

It was a nameless document.

He opened it. And oh god he can feel his slacker life trying to slip past his hands again.

His eyes widened when he realized what is the document was about. Its about him being a prime minister. Shocked, he read the contents of the documents. Hands where gripping in the paper so hard that it might tore any minute.

Alberu, who noticed something is wrong with his dongsaeng, tried to reach out for him. It is unusual to see the redhead, who has always self control, look so shocked and angered while reading the documents in his hands.

"Cale is something wr-" he paused.

The documents in his dongsaeng hands. He knew that. He knew what it was.

Nervous, he looked at Cale only to realized that he had already finished reading the contents of the document and now the redhead is looking at him angrily. Oh. Oh he fucked up. He fucked up real bad this time.

'Shit'

He smiled nervously at his dongsaeng who now had a blank look in his face while staring at him.

"C-cale?"

"Alberu"

"Y-yes?" he smiled again ignoring how he stuttered each time. He really fucked everything now didn't he?

'Let's just hope he won't kill me'

Gulp

"You.."

"You fucking piece of shit!"

Swishhhh

Cale stand up from his sit and use the Sound of the Wind to scatter every piece of paper in the table in front of him. He then looked angrily at Alberu who was now trembling while holding his pen.

"Why!?" he shouted as he showed the documents in front of the Emperor.

"Why did you do this Alberu!?"

Cale shouted as he slam his hands in the table in front of him. His eyes were gleaming with fury and sadness. It must've hurt him so much how the person he trusted betrayed him.

"Why Why Why! Alberu why!"

Nose were red. Tears started to run down his cheeks. Then he called a lightning in his hands. It was the cheaptake's power, the Fire of Destruction.

"Alberu i-i trusted you..." he said weakly while looking at the Emperor in front of him in his eyes. The Emperor's eyes where shaking violently.

"Cale its not what you think-"

"Its not what i think!? It clearly says here in this damn paper all i need to know and you're saying its not what i think!?"

"Cale its not like that damnit you're misunderstanding all of this!" Alberu said while sweating buckets. Hands trying to reach for the redhead.

"Bullshit! Misunderstanding my ass!" he said before he sets all the documents in room in fire. Including the cursed document who wants to separate him from his slacker life.

"Cheaptake, thunderbolt!"

-Okie! KAHAHAHAHAHA!

BOOOM!

A red thunder fell down the office almost hitting f̶r̶y̶i̶n̶g̶ Alberu.

"Fuc-!"

BOOOM!

Another red thunder fell down now destroying the once office of the Emperor. The people outside the palace couldn't say anything. They were mesmerize at the red thunder while fearing it for it destructive power.

While the people outside was busy evacuating themselves, the owner of the thunder, Cale Henituse, was-

"HAHAHHAHA! How dare you make me prime minister! I will destroy everything here! HAHAHAHA!"

Laughing. Maniacally.

"HAHAHAHHAHA!"

-KAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!

-sigh

The laughs of Cale and the cheaptake made the other ancient power sigh in disbelieve while thinking that they should never pissed Cale off.

'Shit! I'm dead' Alberu thought as he stare blankly at his office, that is now all ruined, and his dongsaeng, who was still laughing.

"HAHAHAHHAHAHA!"

"man!"

"HAHAHAHHAH!"

"uman!"

"HAHAHAHHAHAH"

"Human!"

Cale opened his eyes when he heard the shouts of the black dragon that was calling him. He looked around just to see that he was still in his bed without any trace of the ruined office of the Emperor.

"H-Huh?"

'Is it a dream?'

"Human! Why are you laughing while you're sleeping?" Raon asked as he tilted his head in confusion.

He suddenly woke up from his when he heard his human sniffle then his human suddenly laugh so loud that even the kittens woke up.

They started to shake his body but it didn't work then they started to call his name. That's when he opened his eyes and looked around the room.

Sigh

"Its nothing Raon. Just a nightmare" Cale said while petting the kids head, trying to reassure the kids as they still looked worried about him.

"If its a nightmare why are you laughing nya?" Hong asked.

"Is it perhaps fun human?"

"Raon there is no nightmare that is fun" On said while looking at her brothers then looked at Cale again.

"Don't worry its really nothing"

"Ok human"

"Ok nya!"

"Haah"

"Raon call Ron. Tell him to prepare a bath"

"Hmm? Ok human!"

The kid were about to go out of the room when Raon suddenly flew back to Cale while holding the glowing communication device.

"Human! The crown prince is calling!"

'Why do i feel a sense of deja vu?' he thought but then brushed it off.

"Raon its not crown prince anymore. and Connect him"

"Ok" he pouted a little but then smiled again after he recieved a pat in his head from Cale.

Click

"Your Imperial Majesty. I see you are still shining beautifully as-"

"Stop. Just- sigh stop"

Cale smiled triumphantly but then vanished because of what Alberu had said.

"Cale. Do you want to be the Prime Minister?"

Notes:

Alberu: You really drive me nuts
Cale: Well *whiper* do you want me to rode your nuts?
Alberu: CALE HENITUSE!

Raon: Goldie Gramps! What does human mean when he said he'll ride the crown prince nuts?
Eruhaben: *Coughs* What the fuck?!
