A Life Ahead Of Us ( Tcf Fanfic )

Chapter 23. Interviewing The Main Character's.

Hans seemed shocked at Cale’s sudden words, before quickly putting on a serious expression and started to report. It was the information Kim Rok Soo expected it to be.

Hans could not hide his sorrow and disappointment while sharing about what happened to Harris Village, and had gone to the Count with Choi Han to deliver the Village Chief’s Plaque that Choi Han brought.

“Father met with him?”

“Yes. The Count immediately ordered for a funeral and will be sending inspectors, knights, and soldiers to investigate.”

"Mm."

Hans stopped for a moment and hesitated before continuing to speak.

“However, the guest has indicated he will not be going back with us.”

Hans recalled meeting the Count with Choi Han, as Choi Han explained the situation to the Count.

Choi Han was speaking normally, but the tips of his fingers were shaking. It was then that Hans found out that Choi Han was 17 years old.

He was able to keep his life because he happened to be searching for medicinal herbs on his own at the time of the massacre, but he still had to watch his neighbors and friends all being killed at such a young age.

Just how much shock would he have received?

“Will that be okay?”

That was why Hans had asked Cale. Will it be okay for him to not say his final farewell?

“It is his decision.”

But it was Kim Rok Soo who answered him.

Kim Rok Soo glance over to the young man in front of him. If Hans was worried over Choi Han just because of he had to see such sight at a young age.

Then the young master in front of him had been going through much worse.

He had to see his mother dead body full of blood at the age of eight year old. Instead of crying like any other children would do after losing their mother and being comfort by his father.

He was the one who strengthen his heart and comfort his father. Even when his father start to neglected him, he keeps on worrying over his father well being and when his father get married to the current countess and take in her son as his own, many people treated them badly.

He started acting as a trash to protect them.

Cale sacrifice his childhood for others. A few knows about it but none understand nor tried to help him.

So Hans asking such things to Cale without knowing that Cale had being through the same thing is inconsiderate. But it was not his fault since he just recently promote as a butler responsible for Cale's meal.

Kim Rok Soo answered Hans’s question and changed the topic as he could see the mocking but full of sadness painted the only red haired left in the estate face.

He already knew why Choi Han did not want to return. He had already said his goodbye as he buried them. All that was left was to get his revenge on the people that took their future away.

“Has Ron been taking care of him?”

“Yes. He has made sure that the guest eats every meal. He has also been very friendly with him.”

The three of them did indeed seemed to be getting along.

“Ah.”

Hans seemed to have remembered something as he continued to speak.
