“There’s no information that doesn’t come into Henness.”
The master shrugged his shoulders as if it were not a big deal.
You knew that Calix was the son of the Duke of Blake?
“Really? But why didn’t you do anything?”
The Duke of Blake commissioned all the guilds on the continent to find his son.
Henness, who is considered the best in the industry, must have been asked to do so.
“It’s Blake’s request.”
The master’s words contained bones.
‘Indeed, the Master hated the Empire and the Imperial Family extremely.’
The Blake family was deeply intertwined with the imperial family.
The current Empress was also Duke Blake’s sister.
“Then there’s no reason to go with me now, right?”
“Yes, but please take me with you. Instead, I’ll give the best escort for you.”
“Who is that?”
“It’s me.”
What’s wrong with him?
***
“Calix?”
“Is it really you?”
There was no need to add anything else.
The Duke of Blake recognized Calix the moment he saw him.
“Yeah. You’re my son.”
His wrinkled face was distorted with joy and sorrow.
“…Your mother would have been very happy if she was here.”
The Duke of Blake’s comment made my heart sink.
It is said that when Calix disappeared, the Duchess of Blake was rather determined.
“I need to be healthy so that I can welcome my baby when he comes back.”
However, no matter how much time passed, there was no sign of finding Calix.
When hope disappeared, she eventually collapsed.
‘They said she died after being sick.’
After that, the Duke of Blake lived throughout his life with his wife who’s already gone.
The Duke seemed to have mixed feelings.
The Duke examined the wound on the skinny Calix’s body with keen eyes.
“What have they done to this young man…”
He seemed to be angry, but soon put down his anger.
“Yes… That’s enough.”
Soon the Duke of Blake called the butler.
“Calix is back.”
“Congratulations. Duke!”
“Yes, he’s been through a lot, so take care of him yourself.”
“Yes, sir.”
The butler bowed to Calix.
“Nice to meet you, Young Master. My name is Smith, the butler who served the Blake family for generations.”
