TCF #132 part 1

I loved this chapter!! We got the crazy fire bastard! ONE MORE VOICE IN YOUR HEAD, WELL DONE, CALE!

Raon cute as always!!

Bro was really waiting for this moment his whole life. But like? Mood, that sounds so fun to do :'))

He's so happy, what a cute crazy bastard <33

You would know, wouldn't you?

Best parent Cale strikes again! I mean, not that major compared to everything else, but I just love Cale and his kids <33

(Also, Cale's pose reminded me of that King Baldwin IV meme if yk what I mean)

What a funny guy... but also. Very "Cale" behavior

He Does have his moments, cheapskate fire dude.

What, you think you're NORMAL?? Cale, honey, you were abnormal from the moment you were BORN. Even without extenuating circumstances (aka TRANSMIGRATING IN A NOVEL, for one???), you think collecting ancient, historical and monumental powers like Pokémon for your retirement is NORMAL? Dear, at least a Little self-awareness. I could enumerate so many, so MANY examples, even without breaching spoiler territory. Cale, you were Always abnormal, no offense, sweetheart. We like you just the way you are <33

Lovely art, Cale is looking majestic as always <3

HAH, I remember laughing at this moment when I was reading the novel. Wait, I wonder if I can find my notes...

Odd, I made no comment? Guess I was into reading it. Either way, you're a funny guy, Cale, aye?

Hell nah, I reached the photo limit again. Part 2 incoming

[sadlynotthevoid]

Ngl, the Ark of Miracle Nikki sounds like the perfect way to get characters transmigrate from a world to other.

I mean, imagine most people from TBOAH getting suddenly teleported into a massive (techno? magic? fashion inspiration fueled?) flying ship, which can travel through the space-time, because "your world is doomed because of an asshole. We're so sorry. Please feel free to use the facilities and rest until we arrive to your new home".

Besides, I would really like to have og!Cale befriend Aeon and Marina. They would get along, specially having in count that "new world" means their nobility is nothing. He wouldn't need to hide himself and they aren't from his world, so no precoinceived ideas.

Besides, Marina is a kid. Og!Cale would look at this cheerful lively kid and wouldn't be able to hold back his big brother instincts. "She's a lot like Lily when she was a toddler", he probably would think. (Because, yes, I headcanon that og!Cale spent a lot of time with Lily when no one was around and she was still "too young to remember". Lily isn't sure whether she dreamed it all or not)

And imagine Aeon introducing modern music to og!Cale. Og!Cale, who may had learned music when he was a kid (classic noble kid activity), liking many of these various styles of music, all so different from the elegant ones the noble likes and the vivid ones he heard at the streets and bars. Then Marina telling him that Aeon also writes songs, but warning him not to listen them in a way too serious tone (she's such a gremlin).

And between all that you still have the tboah characters aclimatizing to the idea of a new world, fixing relationships, and planning what to do now that their status mean shit (poor royal family. Ha.)

Just a transmigration story where the characters have time to talk with their family and adjust before being send to other world.

Maybe the world they're going to is the Soo's Earth. One that is on its way to recovery, but has way less population than before.

Just a small crush? Darling, I think it is bigger

Day 4- Coworkers/Snack/Fish

Kim Minah had been working at the Kim Company since before the company’s heir, Kim Roksoo, had started working there to get to know his workers and how things worked in the company.

She knew all of her coworkers well and had a good or neutral relationship with all of them.

So you can imagine her surprise when she starts to notice a change in her favorite coworker, Cale Henituse, a few weeks after Kim Roksoo joined their department.

She had never seen Cale blush or look unsure of himself but whenever he was near Roksoo that happened.

It was cute to see but it was so out of character that at first she thought someone had taken over her coworker’s body.

You would first see Cale smiling to someone as he subtly insults them than see him look like a teen with a crush…now that she thinks about it, Minah knew many girls and some boys had a crush on Cale(not like she could blame them but she was happily married…and even then her own husband had admitted that Cale was good looking) but he had never seen Cale attracted to someone or even heard him mention that he had a lover.

So, being the good and curious coworker that she was, Minah approached Cale and asked him to have his break with her on the company building’s rooftop as almost no one went there on their breaks unless it was to smoke so she could drill him about his sudden change without fear of anyone hearing them.

“So, did you get new gossip or something?” Cale asks as both where enjoying some snacks

“Why do you think so?” Minah asks trying to make an innocent face but Cale didn’t believe it as he gave her a look that made her laugh “I actually do not have much gossip this time but…I did notice this change on someone since the arrival of certain heir to the company” she adds smirking as she notices the almost not noticeable blush that forms in Cale’s face at her words

“I don’t know what you are talking about” Cale says looking to the side but that just makes it more obvious to Minah that Cale might have a crush on Roksoo

“Cale, I have never seen you blush or act as you do when Roksoo-ssi is nearby…I think I even thought you were ace or already married since you never showed interest in anyone” Minah says and Cale makes a face at that before sighing

“Maybe, just maybe I…might have a small crush on him” Cale finally admits

“Just a small crush? Darling, I think it is bigger” Minah tells him and Cale pouts as he looks at his drink

“It’s not my fault” Cale mumbles “He is exactly my type and despite looking very dismissive and cold, he has been kind whenever we interacted” he adds and Minah hums at that since Roksoo had been respectful to everyone in the company even if he had more power than any of them would ever have “But…it isn’t like I would ever have a chance” he says sighing

“Why do you say that? You are an amazing catch” Minah says not liking to see Cale looking like this

“You must have realized I never mention my parents or friends outside of stupid Choi Han, right?” he asks and she nods since Choi Han himself had told Minah about the strange friendship he shared with Cale after he beat him up for a comment he made and later they both apologized to each other “My parents divorced and my mother moved to Korea starting her own company with my uncle and I came with her while my father stayed in France and remarried a year after the divorce and had two more kids” he explains “Neither have time for me with their new lives, I lost contact with my old friends since they found other friends or started dating and until you and Choi Han all my ‘friends’ had been people who wanted to approach me for my money or appearance” he adds and Minah winces because she could understand that having all that happen would destroy anyone’s belief that love was for them but she knew that anyone who dated Cale would be very lucky so seeing him not believing that there could be someone who could love him hurt her

“That doesn’t mean that Roksoo-ssi couldn’t like you or you might find someone who will love you forever” Minah reminds him but Cale just gives her a bitter smile

“I thought my parents would love me forever but I can’t even remember the last time my father called me or I saw my mother in person” he says and good, Minah wishes to slap everyone who hurt Cale “And sooner or later you and stupid Choi Han will leave me behind too” he adds and Minah doesn’t like this one bit

“You will never get rid of me, I will make you all of my kids’ godfather and make you deal with us forever” she promises but Cale just gives her a fake smile so she knows that her only option is to show him that she was saying the truth while also noting mentally to talk with Choi Han since he deserves to also knows this because no matter how strange their friendship is, Minah can clearly see that Choi Han loves Cale as a sibling

“Anyways, we should go our lunch break time will end soon” Cale says as he starts to grab his things and Minah can only do the same and follow him as they return to their department

.

.

.

Roksoo was never one to spy on people, especially on something that he knows he should not listen to, but it wasn’t his fault that neither had noticed him when they arrived on the rooftop.

He was thinking of making his presence known but when he heard Minah mention him, he got curious about what it could be since he wanted to know what his father’s workers thought about him.

Hearing that the pretty boy of the advertisement department has a crush on him wasn’t what he would expect but Roksoo wasn’t unhappy with finding that out since he could admit that he also may have a crush on Cale Henituse.

After hearing that, he knew he should have left since that was something Roksoo was sure Cale didn’t want him to listen to but he was too late to leave and heard everything until they left.

Unfortunately, Roksoo could understand Cale insecurity too well since his birth parents died when he was young and then he was taken in by his piece of shit uncle who fucked him up more than the loss of his parents did.

But unlike Cale, Roksoo had been lucky to have been found by his older cousin Kim Dokja and his husband who took him in when he was around 13 and despite how long it took for Roksoo to trust them and learn that he deserved to be loved, he had been saved and showed that he deserved all good things.

So, he didn’t like that Cale had been left behind and never shown he deserved to be loved after everything suddenly changed in his life until now.

Roksoo knew that Minah adored Cale and supposed that the Choi Han mentioned also did the same but Cale didn’t wish to believe it or ignored those signs to not end up heartbroken.

And Roksoo…he couldn’t let the person he likes believe that so he will work hard to make Cale understand that he is loved and that not everything will leave him…even if Cale is stubborn about it because one thing Roksoo took from his adoptive parents is how to be more stubborn than anyone else.

.

.

.

Choi Han didn’t know if he should laugh or comfort his nephew over his ‘dilemma’.

He had heard from Minah that Cale, his bastard of a little brother, had a crush on the heir of Kim Company which he knew is Jungsoo, his nephew, friend and had come to their house sometimes but never actually met.

Of course that the reason why Choi Han was unsure of what to do wasn't really related to this connection but to the fact Jungsoo came whining to Choi Han about how Kim Roksoo had been courting someone and he had only been told about it today.

While he hadn't known at the beginning that it had been Roksoo sending those letters and flowers to Cale, it didn't take long for Choi Han to find out when Minag came to him yelling about Cale’s crush confessing to him.

At first Cale hadn't accepted because he thought it was a prank and was insecure over being worth any love(he was more than worth any love in the world and Choi Han will remind him of that when he gives his best man speech at his wedding and any other moment to make sure it stays in Cale’s head) but Roksoo didn't give up and continued to show how much he loved Cale and that he deserved being loved.

Even if it took a year, enough for Roksoo already being working as his father's secretary before taking over, Roksoo finally got Cale to accept his feelings and Choi Han was overjoyed with it as Cale seemed happier now that he was with Roksoo.

Choi Han really hoped that Roksoo would continue to make his little brother happy and keep his promise of never abandoning him.

“Maybe he wanted to make sure their relationship was one that would last before telling you” Choi Han tells Jungsoo

“But his parents already knew!” Jungsoo whines and Choi Han can only sigh before trying to think of a way to make his nephew stop whining since he had a date and couldn't arrive late to it just because of his nephew

.

.

.

“Hmm, how about we go on a small vacation before I take over my parents' company?” Roksoo asks Cale as both are in his bed cuddling and watching a movie

“A small vacation?” Cale mumbles as he thinks about it “It sounds like a good idea but where would we go?” he says and Roksoo hums as he thinks about it

“Papa said that father had bought him a small house in Thailand, how about we go there? I'm sure they wouldn't mind if we used it” Roksoo says as he remembers Joonghyuk telling him about that small house

“If they don't really mind it then I would like to” Cale answers smiling at him to which Roksoo kisses him softly

“I will ask them and then request vacations for both of us” Roksoo says and Cale nods at that before laying his head in Roksoo’s shoulder to continue watching the movie

Roksoo smiled softly at this before also turning his head to the movie.

‘From coworkers to boyfriends…and if everything goes according to plan then he will be my fiance soon’ Roksoo thinks one last time before he gets absorbed into the movie they are watching

[justanedgycatgirl]

Og Cale! Kim Rok Soo: Oh, here’s my award for the most rules broken!  Kim Min Ah: That’s not an award, it’s an angry letter from our boss.  Kim Rok Soo , hanging it on their wall: Well, it has the word ‘most’ in it, so I’m calling it an award!

The prettiest princess

[clara-licht]

Today's Dominating Aura is certainly much better! The red background, Cale's slight glare from below, and the red text are definitely adding to the pressure!

Though for me, it's still not up to the expectation. Maybe darker tones would be better? Especially when showing the other characters? To really display how intimidating Cale's aura is, of course. So, like, the others' reactions.

It's this one that kinda got stuck in my mind. I appreciate the darker filter (compared to previous panels) very much. It's Choi Han's face that got me feeling a bit off 🤣 uhh idk maybe add a bead of sweat to show the pressure or intimidation?

But in the end, you know what's the number one pet peeve I feel for today's DA?

Still the fact that I won't understand what's going on if I haven't read the novel 🙃

[forgetme-eternally-blissfully]

Spoilers for Cales past and a ss of a few paragraphs of chapter 695

Cale hates when people sacrifice themselves. He hates when they push themselves too hard, especially for him.

Because that’s what happened with Lee Soo Hyuk and Choi Jung Soo, isn’t it?

Cale was supposed to die. They sacrificed themselves for him, and he lived, and now he gets visibly upset when people try to do things that are similar.

What does he think about when he sees people work themselves till they faint? It’s stupid. Not just because it’s not healthy, but because it’s sacrificial. He hates martyrs. He hates it when they’re his friends.

Cale has a weird complex, right? Sacrificing himself left and right, fainting, but not allowing anyone else to do the same? Hypocrite, right?

(Chapter 695)

This is weird, isn’t it? This complete lack of awareness is concerning! It’s almost as if he’s oblivious to the fact that he does the same thing all of the time!

To everyone else, yes, this situation with the crown Prince fainting after using all of his mana is a perfect parallel to Cale using his ancient powers too much and going into a coma.

But Cale doesn’t see his actions in the same light! He really isn’t trying to sacrifice himself 90% of the time! The collateral damage (fainting, bleeding, pain) is usually not part of his prediction, and if it is, it’s more than he expected.

His intentions and thoughts are always about keeping his friends safe, and he’s okay with coughing up a bit of blood to do that! Just a bit, maybe enough that it will look scary but it won’t hurt him in the long run and that’s okay.

If he faints? It wasn’t planned, so it’s not really sacrifice. Maybe a little but he’s selfish enough already, it’s the least he can do, honestly.

When Cale puts himself in danger it’s for selfish reasons. Self-declared selfishness, but that’s how he sees it.

Cale doesn’t sacrifice himself. Everything he does is because he chose to! He chose to. If it doesn’t hurt too bad, he doesn’t consider it as doing much at all. The level of pain he experiences in every situation is his way of determining how much he’s ‘accomplished against his will’ (sacrificed).

Not only that but there are circumstances he must be in to even consider it of consequence to other people. If it doesn’t happen while someone’s in danger, it doesn’t really matter, does it? He doesn’t understand why someone would be asking about his well-being. He doesn’t plan to let anything that happens affect his plans, so there’s no reason for them to worry.

If he’s not on a battlefield, all of the effort he puts in?

(ancient powers) (strengthening his friends) (being in pain and pushing through it) (planning and strategizing) (so, so much more)

It doesn’t count. He is familiar with meticulously and extensively optimizing his time, because as KRS, monsters attack indiscriminately. Being prepared and working hard to be strong is nothing when compared to the battle soon to come, therefore, it doesn’t count as “work.” It’s what is expected. It is the basic standard for what is required to survive.

Where everyone sees Cale working nonstop for weeks and months and years, it’s a normal weekend for him. Those days outside of battle don’t count. He worked like that for 15 years, so much stress is easy for him.

But- why doesn’t he recognize that he pushes himself until he faints? There’s a threshold that he passes where he faints, but he still keeps crossing it?

Well, because he’s the protagonist and- often, our only source of information for what happens in this world- narratively, he tends to stay awake and only faints when the battle is coming to a close, or has just closed. If the battle ends, his presence isn’t of vital importance, so it’s fine if he was unconscious for a little bit. Other times it’s involuntary and a result of his body’s terrible condition or outside forces.

He doesn’t recognize his fainting as sacrificial because as long as the battle ends on a good note and he’s still able to think and plan relatively soon after he wakes up, he hasn’t sacrificed much other than time. He also has Vitality of the Heart, which lets him feel rejuvenated after a ‘nap.’

You see, Cale Henituse is interesting. He doesn’t know how to distinguish being selfish and selfless because being selfless is, in itself, an act of selfishness. When Cale (from the perspective of his friends) ruins his health and runs from battle to battle without resting or thinking about his friends concern— it’s pretty selfish of him.

While everyone else considers him selfless, he thinks of himself as doing the “obvious” amount of work and being selfish too. That much work is expected of him, so it isn’t selfless. It’s all for his own gain, because when everything is over, he’ll be the one going away to slack off in a forest. Ha!He’s seven steps ahead of everyone (and on the verge of collapse).

How trashy.

So to answer the question? Cale doesn’t notice his own sacrifices because he feels that:

1) his intentions remain solely selfish, so fainting and coughing up blood is just something he needs to do to get closer towards his goal.

2) anything that occurs outside of battle does not count as sacrifice because it does not affect how his plans will pan out, and everything he does is just a normal amount of work for him.

3) fainting is not on his list of to-dos, it happens without his consent- constantly- and it is very annoying because it’s an unpredictable variable, but thankfully it happens when the battle is almost over/already over so it’s not really fainting. It’s like taking a nap! Involuntarily, but at least it’s sort of convenient.

4) being overly selfless is selfish, and selfish = bad, so Cale is a Bad Person and Complete Trash. Look at Cale, selfishly wanting his friends and his homeland to be safe so that he can retire. Bastard!

So, turns out his inability to realize the irony of his statements is because of the traumatizing 16 years of mental conditioning where pushing himself over the edge is normal and expected, spurred on by his socially isolated past that led to a lack of empathy and emotional awareness, and his two closest friends sacrificing themselves for him after his ability couldn’t predict the situation accurately enough.

Wow, it was the trauma all along…

[jesuistrefatugie]

I present to the TcF community this idea;

SgT!KRS carrying around a little 2 year old girl, he has not let her down at all except during fights, which he usually hands her off to Choi Han or Kim Min Ah or someone he trusts. No one knows where she came from, but they're not about to ask because KRS seems extremely protective of her. She is the same to him, and will activity growl or hiss at anyone she doesn't like. (PJT)

When someone does ask(CJS, LSH) He just says "She's a small but great and mighty existence." And the little girl just smirks smugly. There are also times when her eyes turn gold, but everyone is too scared of the 3 guards around her too ask.(KRS, Choi Han, Dark Tiger)

Eventually KRS confesses she's the one with foresight and not him, to which everyone then understands why he's so protective of her.

Choi Han just silently stands behind him, because both he and KRS have had a conversation with her... In the Western Continent's common language. Did I mention PJT is also terrified of her? Why? Because she gives off as much pressure as a Grade 1 monster. He tried to bring it up to KRS, but just got the most terrifying glare he's had in his life directed at him.

Even after Cale leaves Earth 2, KRS is still extremely protective of her.

[vveirdnobdy]

hey, it's me again. Found other two songs that remind me so much to og!Cale so I came here. Have you heard Lullaby by Unlike Pluto? It's just— I don't know if it hurts more for the unnoticed transmigration or for how his role in his family was, basically, three number 3.

The other one is Can You Feel The Sun by MISSIO. It just makes me think in his whole 'acting a role for a decade without stopping' thing and how he must had feel about his loneliness and his own identity. I wanna cry.

Thank you so much!!! I added both to my playlist, Can you Feel the Sun really scratched my brain the most, I was seeing the like transition? Of sorts with the regression and transmigration like this purgatory before it happened where it mixes everything that went wrong with everything that can go right.

I really like them both though!!!

[corseque]

As I'm replaying Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age 2 and Dragon Age: Inquisition, I'm going to use the conversation toolkit each time and in each area that Elven is used in the series.

I've already found several bits of elven that are not on the wiki at all. And for many of the text that never had a translation before, there are translations in the localization comments.

I did a poll on twitter asking people if they thought this was good enough evidence to update the elven wiki, and got a 99% yes answer, so I updated the dragon age elven wiki, with an explanation in the /talk section. (Anyone can open Origins dialogue tree files in the DA Toolkit and see that these translated comments are in their own version of Origins)

All of this to say, we finally can say we know the canon words for "mother" and "no" and "brother" and "sister" in elven in Dragon Age. And several new long phrases.

Ghostly Boy in the Lair of the Undead in Dragon Age: Origins

"Mamae? Mamae na mara san…" VO/Localization Comment: the young boy is crying pitifully, he asks "mah-MAY?" in a hopeful manner and then says "mah-MAY nah-MAH-rah san" hoplessly (as if saying "mother is gone")

"Mamae! Mamae, se vara sal!" VO/Localization Comment: phonetically: mah-MAY! mah-MAY! suh VAH-rah sawl! he is calling out for his mother as he says this, crying pitifully

"Mamae! Mamae! Mamae!" VO/Localization Comment: The child begins calling out in a strange language for someone. He begins to sob uncontrollably and shouts louder. "mah-MAY" = mother

shade in the Lair of the Undead in Dragon Age: Origins

"Ma halani! Se vara lassa'val! Nae mal!" VO/Localization Comment: the elf is caling for help, terrified, and then screams and calls on her gods to save her. phonetic breakdown: mah hah-LAWN-ee! suh VARE-ah luh-suh-VAHL! nay mahl! The last phrase "nay mahl" should be shrieked in terror as the elf turns and run

ghostly elf in the Lair of the Undead in Dragon Age: Origins

"Viran se lan'aan? Ir annala for ros…" VO/Localization Comment: "Who are you? I cannot see you…" veer-AHN suh lah-NAWN? Eer ah-NAH-lah fohr rohs… said hesitantly -- she cannot quite make out the player

"Nae! Ga rahn s'dael! Ga rahn!" VO/Localization Comment: "No! Get away from me! Get away!" Nay! Gah rawn suh-DALE! Gah rawn! Suddenly realizes that the player is an enemy, terrified, backed into a corner

"Ir emah'la shal! Ir emah'la shal!" VO/Localization Comment: "I will kill you! I will kill you!" eer ay-MAY-la shahl! eer ay-MAY-la shahl! she turns on the player in terror, savagely attacking him (combat begins)

[ayasenisan1713]

Cale: I want a slacker life.

Cale: But to have a peaceful life, my family needs to have a peaceful life as well, and we need to live in a peaceful world too to not be bothered by anyone.

Cale: So let’s achieve world peace.

Cale: Then let’s do multiverse world peace because other worlds could also bother us and for an unknown reason I HAVE to be the one who does it instead of sending my subordinates and lazing around.

Cale: And while striving for world peace, something that nobody has been able to achieve so far, I’ll complain that I don’t want to work and say I’m weak.

Cale: Ah, I’m weak. *killing the strongest villain who tried to become god*

Cale: I want a slacker life. *trying to achieve world peace and working more than anyone else*

Cale: Sigh…

Reader: Sigh…

[yuriisclumsy]

Stay still, will you?

»»►This is a funny scenario. I like to think Cale is a super, over the top, overprotective, man. If you mess with those he cares about or loves, you’re about to find yourself in an interesting situation. 

»»►But when Cale finds out he’s going to be a papa, he goes wild. Forget accepting whatever mission the crown prince wants him to do, he needs to be right next to his wife–24/7. 

»»►And let’s be honest with ourselves, this man would literally take this chance to laze around even more. This is the life he wanted, no? 

»»►Oh, but his dear wife doesn’t like sitting still for more than a minute. This is torture for her—but can’t do anything about it because her husband and (adopted)kids want her to relax and take care of herself and the baby. 

»»►But, why? You may ask. That’s for the single fact that she is clumsy (hey just like me!). She crashes stuff, trips, falls, hurts herself—according to Cale and the others—she denies such accusations—and last but not least, she gets herself in trouble. 

»»►So, yeah. [Name] have no “stepping outside the state” privileges until after the baby is here physically. But [Name] is a tough cookie. She can handle herself when no-one is around. So—to everyone’s dismay—she goes outside one day. It’s just to stroll around and see what has progressed in Harris Village. 

»»►One thing to note: she didn’t tell a soul about her outing. 

»»►Now imagine Cale’s face when he comes back to see the staff panicking for the whereabouts of his wife. 

»»►Let's just say…it was chaotic that day. 

“Woah, that looks tasty...!” [Name] drooled at the sight. 

“Good morning, lady [Name]! What can I get you today?” The shop owner greeted [Name] with a smile. 

“Can I have this please?” [Name] pointed to one of the delicacies of the bakery. It was a croissant-looking-bread stuffed full of chocolate. 

The owner of the bakery gave her a bag filled with what she ordered. “Here you go! Please come back soon!” the owner waved goodbye. 

“I will!” She waved back at the owner. [Name] took one of the baked goods and began to eat it.  

“I wonder how everyone is doing at the state.” 

… 

“LADY [NAME]!” 

“M’lady! Where are you?!” 

“Does anyone remember the last place [Name] went to?!” 

“M’lady, please be okay!” 

Currently, everyone is in a frenzy. The lady of the house was nowhere to be found, and everyone and their mothers were running like headless chickens in search of her. And if they did not find her, their master was going to kill them! 

“What is with the commotion here?” a voice spoke from the entrance of the manor. 

Everything stopped. Slowly, the housekeepers and butlers turned their heads towards the voice. They knew this voice. Very well in fact. Although they grew to like it, right now, they wish they didn’t hear it. They prayed that it was a ghost. Dread overtook them as they saw the voice’s owner. 

Cale Henituse. Their young master. And the husband of the manor’s lady they were trying to find. 

“So? Is anyone going to tell me why you are all running like the world just ended?” Cale spoke. 

Who was mad enough to even dare to tell the young master that his wife magically disappeared? Not me. And not anyone in this room.  

Yet a brave soul stood up and spoke. May he rest in peace. 

“Ah…y-young mater Cale,” a young butler went forward and vowed, stammering in his word, “we..uh…. Can’t find lady [Name] anywhere...?” 

“...” 

“...” 

It was deafeningly silent. No one moved an inch, waiting—waiting for the order to execute them. They fully accepted their fate. 

“Well, what are you all just standing there for?” he spoke, breaking the iceberg. 

“Huh?” 

“Standing still isn't going to bring back [Name].” He stood there, staring at the crowd. 

He was right. 

They needed to get back to searching for Lady [Name]!  

A chorus of ‘yes, sir!’ was heard before a horde of housekeepers and butlers left in search of their Lady. 

“*sigh* Why are you like this [Name]...?” Cale whispered and looked up. He slowly walked to the exit of the manor heading to the town; the children followed after him–this included Choi Han. 

“Master Cale, where are you going?” Hans asked. 

“I’m going to the market area in the town,” he said, not bothering to look back. “Ron, make my bed as comfortable as you can make, will you?” 

“Yes, young master.” Ron responded. 

“Great.” 

… 

Lovely day for [Name] sitting in the shade of an umbrella and her delicious foods. Going from one shop to another, she had managed to gather a lot of food. She had gone overboard again, yes, but the baby she was carrying and her were happy. Who could ever disturb such happiness? 

“[Name].” A male voice called her name firmly from behind. 

Of course. The only person that could was her husband. [Name] knew he only meant good, but right now he had broken that tranquility. 

“Oh! Cale, love, darling, how are you...?” [Name] turned and looked at him nervously. The children had gathered around her–with Raon being invisible naturally. 

“[Name]...” Cale rubbed the temples of his face before sighing, “why are you out?” he asked sternly. 

“Well clearly, I was taking a walk. And I bought some snacks on the way.” She answered, petting both Hong and Raon while On made herself comfortable in her lap. 

“What–no. That’s not what I meant.” 

“You asked why I was out, and I told you why.” 

“You know exactly why I asked that.” 

“I have no idea what you’re talking about,” [Name] gave the children the treats she had bought earlier. 

“[Name], please. You know how dangerous it is for you to be here right now. You are due at any point now! And I just…agh..I just want you to stay safe.” He said in frustration. 

[Name] looked at him, feeling a bit guilty that he is like that. She had reached her ninth month a week ago, making this month the most crucial. She just didn’t want to stay locked up in her room all the time. It was something that did not sit right with her. 

“I’m sorry…” [Name] looked down in shame. 

“I…*sigh* You are going to be the death of me.” Cale came closer to her and placed his hands underneath her. 

“Hu-huh? Cale? What are you doing?” panicking a little before realizing he was going to carry her. 

“Carry you, obviously.” He scuffed. “We’re going back to the manor.” 

“Aww…can’t we go to another shop? It’ll be the last one, I promise!” Her begging went to deaf ears. He wasn’t letting her get away with it, so she started to wiggle her way out his arm. 

“Stay still, will you?” 

“Not until I get my last treat.” 

“*sight…* Fine. But you’ll have it after dinner. Dinner is going to be served soon.” Cale said while walking to the nearest candy shop. 

“Mmmm, I'm fine with that. Oh! Choi Han, hello. Sorry, I didn’t notice you there.” 

“It’s fine lady [Name].” Choi Han gave her a small nod. 

“Moooom…I want a treat too!” 

“I also want one!” 

“The great Roan Miru will get one too, right?” 

“Wait a second. Since when do they call you mom?” Cale asked in confusion. 

“Yes, yes. All of you will get one.” 

“Don’t ignore me.” 

Choi Han giggled as Cale continued to ask and get ignored by them.

[nonexistent-alfa]

He was in much better shape compared to Cale, but he looked like an average person who works out. It was quite unfamiliar for Cale, who thought Choi Jung Soo had been buff since he was young.

Ah yes Cale, Choi Jung Soo totally popped outta the womb all ripped and muscly

[blueteller]

Clopeh: *writing a biography* There is no Legend greater than Cale Henituse! Joo Ho-Shik: *praying* You're wrong. The greatest hero of all time is named Kim Rok Soo. You would have faith too if ever saw him in action...! Fire of Purification Church: *smiling benevolently* Ah, children. If only you have witnessed the glory of the esteemed Purifier! Murim Martial Arts Masters: *shaking head* Clearly, you poor fools have never heard of Young Master Kim Hae-il-nim… Aipotu: *whispering* …Do they mean the Silver Angel?
