What if Cale turned into a child? (Trash of the Count's Family Fanfiction)

What if Cale turned into a child? (12)

Cale was back in his room after his talk with Deruth. He had hinted his father for the matters of a recording circulating in their territory. Deruth said he'll handle it, but of course, the reality is that even the Duke also has a copy of Cale's recording. That's a given. He's Cale's father, of course, he got the first copy before Alberu does.

Although Cale doesn't have any idea about it and was now changing into a more suitable clothing. He said he'll go to the palace by tomorrow, but Cale can't sit calmly after he heard a recording of him. And he's almost certain that if their servants and knights have it, the Emperor is bound to have it too. 

The three children, who said they'll go to the Black Castle earlier already returned together with Choi Han who has an innocent smile painted on his face. 

"Cale-nim."

Cale slightly flinched when Choi Han called him. He avoided looking at Choi Han and focused his eyes on his reflection in the mirror. 

Ron was currently dressing him up in the simplest clothing there is in Cale's new wardrobe. The clothes are newly designed just for Cale and more are coming if ever that Cale's condition won't be lift-off for a few more months. Although Cale doubts that it'll take long, his mother, Duchess Violan, insisted so.

Well, of course, it's just because Violan wanted to splurge on child clothing for Cale. Like a doting mother would do. Although Ron and the others are reluctant at first because this might remind their young master about his mother, Countess Drew, they calmed down after Cale said that it's fine.

"What is it?"

Cale calmly asked. Well, he could tell Choi Han, Alberu and Raon about the reason why he was crying, but Cale still thinks it wasn't necessary. (Gosh I'm the one who's writing but I wanna smack Cale's head here🤦🏻‍♀️😂)

Cale didn't think it'll be necessary to tell them. He didn't want them to worry so much over a thing of the past. Although Cale understood that not telling them seems unfair, but Cale thought that it's better than painting their faces with despair. He's well informed that his past is too dramatic-sad, but to Cale who already started to replace those memories with happy ones like what he said back when he received the God of Death's message, his past was trivial for him now.

Cale's reddish-brown eyes observed Choi Han's face from the mirror. It looked innocent as usual, but Cale knew he's curious. And he's aware that Choi Han already has the clue that the reason is connected to him as Kim Rok Soo and not as Cale Henituse. But even so, Cale turned his eyes away from Choi Han when he saw him opening his mouth.

"Are you going to visit His Majesty?"

Cale gave Choi Han a sideways glance before slightly nodding his head, "Yes."

"But it seems that you said tomorrow?"

"...I need to ask him about mattews." 

Choi Han paused for a moment after he saw how Cale frown right after he lisp. He chuckled before he slightly bowed.
