Chapter Text
Tasha is delighted with her discovery...
Cale Henituse, THE CALE HENITUSE!!!!!
Young Master Silver Shield, Young Master Cale Henituse...
The Roan Kingdom's most prized treasure...
The Most Amazing and Beautiful Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces.
The Western and Eastern Continent Hero...
The Rumored Child of the Gods...
The Center and the Heart as well as the Brain and the Epitome of Calm and Chaos.
The Harbinger of Justice.
The One and Only Cale Henituse.
The previous Trash of the Count's family...
That Majestic and Wonderful being that naturally attracted all kinds of beings without even meaning to.
That Cale Henituse.
Yes...
That Cale Henituse can apparently sing!!!!
And it's as wonderful as he is.
Tasha can't help it, she must SHARE IT!!!!!
WITH EVERYONE!!!!!
EVERYONE BIG OR SMALL SHALL APPRECIATE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL HUMAN AND HIS TALENTS!!!!!
Yes...
Yes...
She must not be greedy.
Tasha is now a woman with a mission and she WILL succeed!!!!
Tasha is stubborn.
She didn't even bow her head while looking at the endless pool of warm brown and fiery red eyes of the man who apparently have such an amazing singing voice.
She didn't back down.
She will not back down.
There's nothing wrong with what she did.
As long as no one that is innocent and or none of them are hurt then it's okay.
Tasha knows Cale and so she knows that Cale wouldn't really get angry as she did nothing wrong.
At least she didn't do anything to do something that is within Cale's definition of wrong.
"Young Master Cale, I can't really understand you. Why would you hide such an amazing talent to everyone? Why must yo-"
"My reasons are my own and I really don't want to point out the fact that you are in my house and you are just my guest."
At this Kora, flinched.
Kora already warned Tasha about this.
Kora already told Tasha that what she's planning to do is wrong.
That Tasha should know her boundaries and what she has already done is overstepping the Young Master's privacy.
"Dark Elf, Tasha."
Cale Henituse called her name.
That means that he's talking to her.
Not as his Highness Auntie, not as the previous Mage Captain that govern over the Mage Brigade during the war, and not as a Viscountess.
Cale is talking to Tasha.
Just Tasha.
"I respect the fact that you are his Highness Aunt and is also his most important and trusted subordinate seeing as you both are related by blood, but I hope that you, of all people, know that you cannot just use your relationship with the Royal Family to your liking nor just because you are mad and that you cannot just use that power unwisely and unfairly."
Alberu, one of the person that received a recording orb from his Aunt featuring his dongsaeng that was singing while playing with a piano, can't help but be a bit conflicted.
He's happy that he's one of the first person who receives the record but now, seeing his own Aunt receiving a scolding from his Dongsaeng...
He's not sure who to side with.
His Aunt or his Dongsaeng?
He completely understands the situation, he can understand each other's point of view.
His Aunt wants to expose his Dongsaeng's talent while his Dongsaeng does not like being exposed.
While it was true that only their circle have a record of what just happened, someone else that can't keep their mouth shut (Hilsman, Hans, Dodori, Litana, Toonka, and a few more) leaked this new interesting trivia and so it spread.
Everyone now knows that there is a possibility that the previous Supreme Commander can sing like an angel.
Of course there are people who have doubts, but those people was then refuted over and over again and some of them where even attacked.
The cause?
Hate crime.
Those people attacked other people just because those people didn't want to believe something that they have no proof of.
And so the Royal family is currently receiving a lot of requests from people all over the two continents for the Crimson Commander to perform.
Alberu didn't tell this to Tasha and so she doesn't know but Cale himself saw something like that and so he was rightfully angered.
But still.
His Aunt Tasha is his Mother's sister.
Alberu, for the love of the Sun God that he doesn't even have his faith in, cannot hate the person that practically raised him.
He's heart is confused.
"I welcomed you to my house, to my home."
Shawn, who's beside Kora, flinched when he met the Ancient Dragon's glare along with the empty eyes of the benign old man that is beside him.
He then looks down, frozen from fear.
Kora, who already knew about the two people who were giving them that frightening attention, wisely ignore them.
Kora will die.
Shawn will also die.
They knew it.
They can't run away from this.
"You raised his Highness so you should be as well educated about a guest's boundaries and what not."
Rosalyn, who's one of the person who worked against the spreading of that news nodded.
She's one of the person that knows Cale the best.
She knows that when Cale hears about that, then Cale will be angry.
But Rosalyn also knows that Cale will not hurt Tasha.
No.
Cale won't hurt someone that is closely related to one of his people.
Rosalyn is aware that the reason why Tasha is only receiving a scolding is only because she is Alberu's Aunt and is also Mary's precious person.
No one can't refute the well known fact that even though Mary is the older one between the two, Cale undoubtedly thinks that Mary is one of his children.
The way he looks at her is the same way he looks at On. Hell!!! Mary is receiving her weekly allowance just like the three children. Cale also went with her to the same store where the three children bought their own piggy bank just so Mary won't feel left out.
Cale is Mary's father.
It's a fact.
Tasha is so lucky to be connected to her.
The people behind her are both lucky as well.
"I expected that you would respect my decision since it's my 'talent' being performed at my own home and you are here as my guest that I welcomed because Mary asked me to."
At this, Tasha finally realized that she is not someone that Cale himself invited.
No.
As far as Tasha remembers, it's Mary who gave her the invitation, not Cale.
Cale never really invited someone personally.
Everyone that is living at this Villa underneath the Forest of Darkness is someone who is with Cale longer than her, her own nephew, despite being far from the red head is undoubtedly close.
If Alberu only keep Cale around because of the benefits the Young Master brings, then his nephew didn't need to proclaim him as his own sworn brother on a whim.
Yes, his nephew didn't go according to plan.
It's a move made completely on the spot using his heart and not his head.
Tasha knows his nephew, knows him enough to be able to read him like a book even if he is wearing such a princey mask.
The reason why they're sworn Brothers is not purely for show, no, it's a move that show that his Nephew actually cares.
Care enough to make people know that Cale is not to be messed with.
That messing with him means messing with their kingdom.
That the most possible candidate for the crown for the kingdom that is flourishing and is growing stronger every single day has marked this person in front of Tasha as someone who has the backing of that Crown Prince.
Alberu's move is to blatantly show that he and Cale are close, and that is why they're sworn brothers.
Tasha now knows.
Tasha now regrets.
Cale looks at the shaking eyes of the Dark Elf in front of him and let out what he's feeling right at that moment.
"I'm greatly disappointed of you."
Ohn, Hong and Raon as well as Choi Han, Alberu and Rosalyn can't help but gasp.
Tasha's eyes widened, pupils shaking.
Raon looks at his Human and then to his Uncle Cookies' Auntie.
Beacrox can't look away at his Young Master that stated that he's greatly disappointed at someone. He watch as his Father's Puppy's lips quivered a little and he's the only one who saw his eyes' pupil shake and then harden.
Its as if he instantly regretted saying his real emotion, afraid that in doing so would paint him as the perpetrator instead of the victim.
A victim who's privacy was breached when he himself showed his displeasure of unwanted and unneeded attention multiple times. When his privacy was breached in his own home by a guest of his guest.
Everyone then watch Cale Henituse.
They watch as he then turn his back.
They all noticed his shoulder shake a little.
They all watch him walk away.
They then watch as he slammed the door.
The bang awakening Tasha out of her depressive state.
Tasha then run and she then knocked multiple times, no, she's banging the door as hard as she can to request the red head's presence once again.
"YOUNG MASTER, I'M SORRY!!! I was wrong please forgive me. CALE, CALE, YOUNG MASTER CAL-"
"Enough"
Tasha then curled in instinctual fear as she felt a Dragon fear at its maximum level.
"You've done enough."
Eruhaben is currently holding the Dark Elf with his magic, the two elves behind her is quivering in fear.
But the both of them didn't fight back.
No.
They look quite resigned.
It's as if they already know their fate.
"I'll show you the way out."
The three then was then guided out of the villa and out of the the forest.
Probably out of their life as well.
Cale Henituse didn't show his face to anyone else.
He didn't even went out his door.
His curtains are always closed as well.
As the owner of the Super Rock Villa, no one can enter the 5th floor as something is blocking the stairs from all of them.
The children can't also enter the door but they atleast can climb up the stairs.
And so the three children was tasked to bring food for the red head that is locking himself in his room.
Sometimes, the food they bring was untouched, sometimes, only a portion was eaten and sometimes, it was scraped off.
All of them knew then that when it's scraped off, it just means that Cale is flushing it away.
All of them hopes for Cale to get out of his room.
They all hope for everything to go back to what it was before.
So what if Cale can sing?
They now know it...
And they won't force him to sing for them.
Promise!!!!
But then, they think that if and only if the children ask him to...
There's no doubt that Cale will do it albeit reluctantly....
Because Cale loves his children the most...
....
..
..
.....
...
The children made a vow to never let themselves be tempted to ask their Guardian to sing.
Promise!!!
If Cale really didn't want to, then that means he didn't want to.
As simple as that.
They just wish for Cale to get out.
They greatly miss their Guardian.
