Silver Lining

Silver and Black

"Young Master Cale fainted."

The pair of black eyes widened.

All expressions disappeared from the black-haired young man's face.

Choi Han started to speak at that moment.

He sounded almost as if he was shouting.

"Cale-nim―!"

"Lower your voice."

The blondie Emperor squeezed Choi Han's shoulder.

Peek.

Alberu then peeked toward the spectators which are the knights, the butlers, and the maids in the arena.

Not everybody working in the palace are his people.

There were people in the palace who were providing information to other nobles.

Also, to the outsiders.

Even though they finally achieved peace after the hardship they had been through for the last two years, there are still people wary about Roan's influence and power.

Especially when Roan officially becomes Empire.

Most of the rulers or power players of the kingdoms in the Western and Eastern Continent have a friendly relationship with his dongsaeng, Cale.

However, Alberu as the royal, the current ruler, and one of the main power players could understand those people's thoughts very well.

That's why he can't let those people know that the Roan Empire's strongest pillar had fainted.

Cale is the center of everything happening in the past two years.

"Control your face. You know your liege's position, right?"

The swordmaster nodded his head.

He knows how important is Cale Henituse's existence in this Empire.

His face turned stoic as he tried to control his expression.

Regardless of that, Choi Han's fingertips were shaking.

"Miss Rosalyn, what happened?"

Alberu's voice was calm when he's asking the red-haired lady in front of him although the inside was full of worries.

It can't be helped as the little slacker is his brother that he adores more than his own blood brothers.

The one who should be relaxed in his bedroom now has fainted.

The archmage opened her mouth.

"Eruhaben-nim sent me a message just now. Young Master Cale had fainted and after a few minutes, less than a half-hour, he woke up."

One of the blondie's eyebrows lifted as he listened to those words.

"What's the cause?"

For a moment, both the men could see a frown on her beautiful face.

Rosalyn bits her lips and opened her mouth with difficulty.

"God of Death."

Shhh―

The shadow-like aura arises from the black-haired young man's body.

Pat. Pat.

"Calm down, Choi Han."

Alberu patted his instructor's back strongly while smiling brightly like the sun in the morning.

From others' point of view, it looks like the Emperor having a pleasant chat with his instructor.
