The preparation for his trip had gone quite quickly with the help of the Count and Countess. A day later with a lot of negotiation, he was finally able to leave with his brother and all his company.
They reached the Ubarr coast to take a ship to the kingdom of Whipper. He was greeted by Amiru who looked at him with concern.
"Hello, young masters. » She greeted him and her brother as noble etiquette demanded before saying what she wanted.
"Do you really need to leave, it can be dangerous." Amiru was really worried about Cale's health.
" Yes-"
"Don't worry, we'll take care of him." Basen cut Cale to reassure Amiru, he knew how good his brother was at doing it...
She didn't insist any more and wished them a good trip but she still had the same worried expression.
Once on board the boat Cale and Basen or rather Cale followed very closely by Basen called the crown prince, he still had things to tell him. He was almost sure that his outing in the forest of darkness had been heard throughout almost the entire kingdom even if they did not know who was responsible but that surely could not have been ignored with the current tense context.
Amazingly they were quickly able to reach the prince with the dragon's magic.
"Hello our highness, have you heard anything interesting?"
Alberu frowned at Cale's attitude but he answered him anyway.
"Hello young masters, no should I have done it?" The question asked in the first place was strange and the smile on the face of young master Cale with the exasperated look of young master Basen did not bode well.
The smile on Young Master Cale's face deepened with his question but he got no answer. He thought for a bit before remembering that villages around Henituse County had reported the sound of a sudden and very loud explosion. But since it came from the forest of darkness no one wanted to go investigate.
"It was you in the Forest of Darkness, wasn't it?"
"Yes but it was absolutely necessary and a future gift for you your highness, you will love it. I will bring it back to you after my trip."
The word gift was very interesting but it seemed strange especially since nothing is ever free, so what could he want from him?
"Have you planned a trip to discover the outer lands of our beautiful kingdom? » He was obviously curious but couldn't ask her directly.
"Hmm, more for trading and another future gift for you." Cale's smile was rather worrying in the prince's opinion, why all this for him?
"The Whipper Kingdom has a lot of interesting things for sale at the moment after all."
Whipper's kingdom was in civil war currently aside from being terribly dangerous, he couldn't understand what the noble in front of him was talking about.
"They have a magnificent magic tower and..." Something had just rang in the mind of the crown prince about their magic tower and above all... the mages.
Cale saw the recognition in the prince's eyes before continuing. "It will be a pleasure to offer you all this, of course I also expect something from you."
After a few more discussions on a certain subject, they said goodbye.
Unfortunately, there was another call that seemed urgent, it came from his father.
" There is a problem "» Cale asked quickly after picking up.
"I received a call from the capital, from the king to be more precise and then another from annoying people..." Deruth really seemed very bored and angry when he said it, it made them curious and worried.
"It has been reported to me that the Church of the God of Death has requested an audience with the king regarding you Cale. They want you to meet with a high priest to confirm whether or not you are a saint of the god of death."
They saw Cale turn pale Basen was torn between laughing or being worried but Cale's paleness made him move closer to him.
"Cale." He called softly.
"What the-" Cale was unable to form a real sentence, his lazy life is threatened.
"The king refused to take care of this, unfortunately the temple did not give up. They demand to meet you as quickly as possible, they already wanted me to bring you back to Henituse territory." And this is what made the count angry, how do they demand something from him? The Henituse family will not let this happen despite their statues, regardless of whether they are kings or even the god himself.
---
Meanwhile the god of death tried to contact his church to leave young master Cale alone but the message did not go through as expected.
The oracle as he likes to call it said:
"Young Master Cale is under my protection."
For him it was a warning so they wouldn't get too close to him while for them it was a confirmation of the proximity of Cale and their god... oops.
