Ron Molan’s point of view(?):
Cale Henituse. The eldest son of the Henituse duchy. The very hero who is adored by both the nobles and the commoners. The very hero who is considered a very just and naive person who seeks injustice to defeat. And the very hero who fights the demon white star to defend the western continent. And this Ron serves the young-puppy-like-hero. Honestly with a sacrificial mindset like that of Cale, it’s no wonder he is seen as naive.
Only people who are close enough to Cale are aware of his true nature. How vicious he is to the enemies, how much of a fox he is, cunning and devilishly sly smirk, grin and smiles. Just how much of a strategist he is, and who knows what he is thinking? For the young generation of today Cale is considered more on the handsome side. So with his achievements, reputation, and title of commander and also the sworn brother of the crown prince of Roan kingdom, he is truly a flawless man. The only problem is… there are no human who achieved perfection. There are only those who were acting or putting on a facade.
His puppy-like-young master is also one of them. In truth he is truly overworked with dealing with the white star who had gone into hiding after defeat on the last battle. Cale has wide connection and the papers on his table is a proof of that. Those are the documents and data reports of his information networks, leaders of various kingdoms, his own groups’s, and the crown prince Alberu Crossman. ‘He really needs a break from that pile of papers’
One day tho, he had randomly said to Ron “Forbid the children under 18 from entering room. And not have them meet with me until I allow them to. You can do that right? Ron” Albeit surprised Ron had went to immediately announce this proclamation to the children. Some were disappointed but agreed because they knew Ron won’t tell such a lie, and some went to confirm from Cale himself only to walk away admitting defeat disappointedly.
Ron had curious as to why his puppy young master declared this but decided not to dwell on it. After all it’ll be inappropriate of a butler to question his liege. But he soon found out why himself. The renowned hero of the Roan kingdom who led the army to absolute victory with the littlest casualty has fallen under addiction because of the huge stress caused by the white star. Smoke of a cigarette is more harmful to those around you rather than the one smoking. And his puppy like young master knew that as he also declared that even adults now can only stay in his office room for less than half an hour.
’…’
Everyone was worried. They tried to persuade Cale to make him quit smoking. Even Raon is so angry at his human that he could only sit, viciously stare at a wall and grumble. Alberu Crossman who only heard about this like yesterday or so- (the group weren’t sure if should report this to the crown prince.) is having a headache while sitting on the couch next to the baby dragon. Probably screaming internally. This has been going on far too long. Too long for Ron to patiently try to persuade his young liege. And he knows his young master is scared of him, so why not scare him into quitting? That seems like a good idea-
“How much time has passed since that day?” Rosalyn asked while leaning on a wall with a sad expression.
“About 3 or so weeks now, miss Rosalyn” As Ron said while almost letting out a sigh he barely managed to hold it back in.
“WE SHOULD JUST KNOCK HIM OUT AND HAVE HIM REST” said Hong the red kitten who looked quite angry.
“I… agree” is what the silver kitten On said looking equally as angry.
”Then we can lock him up somewhere he can’t escape” the youngest swordsman in history said while viciously looking at the floor.
‘…’
‘That’s it. My patience has run out.’
Ron immediately rushes to the office room of his puppy like young master and opens them without consent. Rushing over to the shocked red head and snapping the cigarette placed in between his lips in two while smiling benignly. Ron was sure that this scene scared the hell out of Cale and also had traumatized him very much. He was certain that what happened just now will be forever in his puppy like young master’s mind and would be replaying every time Ron is in Cale’s sight.
Ron was right as Cale quit smoking, is scared the banana of Ron, and became a healthy man again. Everyone should take note of how Ron handles Cale sometimes
