Transmigration As A Deruth Henituse.

08

Ron stared at the black-haired man's shabby appearance in disbelief.  He thought this youngster was just helping Cale from bandits or something like that.

'I've never heard of him.  Who's he?'

Ron just kept his curiosity on hold for now.

Deruth was still lifting Cale into his room while stroking Cale's back.

The fear of death is not something light.  Especially for a small child like Cale.

He is only 13 years old.

Deruth placed Cale on the bed, and knelt in front of him.

"Cale, you are at home now. Everything is fine. You can cry and the monsters won't come. I will protect you."

Cale's eyes shook as he looked at Deruth.

"If you're scared, you can cry. If you're sad, you can cry too. Likewise if you're happy. It doesn't matter if you show your feelings. I, as your father, am willing to see all the expressions you will make."

Deruth hugged and stroked Cale's head gently.

"Hic, hic, huuaaaaaaah!!!"

Cale gripped Deruth's clothes as he cried loudly.

He thought he would die some time ago.  It was a very scary feeling.

"Aaaaaaaarrrrrgggggg!!!"

Cale was crying screaming from fear.  If only he could cry like this when he saw his mother come back covered in blood.

However, on the day of the funeral, it was he who persuaded his father.  Honestly, he also wanted to cry and scream like this.

If only his father had been like this from that day on, he probably wouldn't have suffered in loneliness for very long.

But he also probably won't meet his new mother and Basen either.  Lily too, will not be born.

"Everything's fine. Cry as hard as you want, no one will think you're weak. Not while I'm here with you."
"Hic, hic, dad, don't change, hic like before."

Deruth smiled unable to reply to that.

Who knows if Deruth will actually take over his body again?

But for now,

"Sure. So you have to grow up well."

Deruth kissed Cale's forehead.

Even if he is not a father to the children he is looking after.  He was already happy to be a place they could return to.

Cale finally fell asleep in Deruth's arms, and Violan said she would take care of Cale.

"Because of the shock, he might get sick. So take good care of him."

Violet smiled.

"I've looked after Basen since he was born. I know that."

Deruth sighed.

“Because Cale has such a deep shock, he will also have nightmares. You can simply whisper the words 'Everything is fine' while holding his hand.'

Deruth added as he was about to walk into his office and stopped.

'I forgot the black haired man.'

Violan tilted her head in confusion.

"I forgot something. Take care of yourself too. Don't stay awake for too long. If you're tired, just call me."

Deruth walked the other way, towards the guest room.

Violan's face slightly reddened hearing that.

Violan looked at Cale, and stroked his head gently.

'Hic, hic, dad, don't change, hic like before.'

Violan heard Cale's words as she waited outside the room worried about him.

Violan used to think Deruth had told his son about their marriage, so he proposed to her.

It was because Deruth was a good lord, so he definitely will knew how to take care of his son.

Who would have thought, Deruth seemed to have forgotten, that he had a son, and left him in sorrow?

Violan somewhat regretted accepting Deruth's proposal that time, but it can't be helped, everything has happened.

Cale also walked away as if he disliked Basen and herself.  So she didn't want to force it because she had already stolen the attention of the only remaining Cale family.

Hearing Cale's words like that, broke Violan's heart into pieces.

Shee heard from Park Soo Yun that he never had a romantic relationship or made a child in his life.

'But he's made a better parent than Deruth and I myself.'

He puts his family ahead of work and other people's views of him.

Even when it wasn't his real family.

Back then Basen was burdened with the thought that he took Deruth's affections and the title that should have belonged to Cale.  But now, Basen could lift his head proudly, saying his name was Basen Henituse.

Cale left the task of being a territory lord to Basen and Basen studied harder than he always did.

He also had the help of the crown prince, making his learning progress rapidly.

Cale also had Rosalyn to secretly practice his magic abilities.

It wouldn't be wrong to say Park Soo Yun had the trait of a father ingrained in him.  All the children he had looked after, were now smiling brightly and feeling free.

The crown prince is one of the best examples.  If he could, Alberu didn't want to go back.

But he has a dream to become a king, so he still has to come back and establish his position.

"Ugh...."

Cale groaned as if he saw something terrible.

Violan held his hand, and whispered the words as Deruth had told her to.

Cale slowly calmed down and Violan could feel Cale's body getting hotter and hotter.

"As he said, now you have a fever."

.......

Deruth looked at the black haired man earlier who was wearing clothes that didn't suit his body after taking a shower.

"What's your name?"
"Choi Han, sir."

Deruth frowned slightly at the Korean name.

And after taking a bath, Deruth could see how young the boy was.

"Choi Han, come with me."
"?"

Choi Han who was still confused by the place, walked after Deruth without saying anything.

To be continued.

Deruth: (He's so young, but he can already beat the monsters? How hard is his life living there?)

Choi Han: (So outside of the forest it looks like this, huh. It's probably been over 60 years since I've been there.)

Ok guys, how was your days?

Hope you guys always have a good days!

See ya!
