Trash of the Count's Family

Chapter 163: Somehow Once Again (3)

Cale made eye contact with Imperial Prince Adin and started to speak.

“I am okay, your highness.”

Cale did not look hurt as he was currently standing tall.

However, everybody could see the bloodied handkerchief in his hands, as well as the slightly shaking hands holding onto it.

There was also the weak smile on his face.

He did not look okay at all.

Cale started to speak at that moment.

“Is everyone else okay?”

“Ah.”

One of the administrators who came with the Imperial Prince let out a gasp.

Adin observed Cale for a quick moment. His eyes had a cold gaze that did not seem to show any care or warmth.

Adin’s face suddenly showed both gratitude and concern as he quickly made eye contact with Cale again.

“Yes, everybody is okay thanks to you. There are some who have minor injuries, but it does not seem to be too serious.”

“I see.”

Cale slightly frowned after hearing the words, ‘minor injuries.’ His gaze then looked past the Imperial Prince and toward the mages and Alchemists.

He started to speak after observing them continuing to support the tower.

“It should be okay, right?”

‘This tower should be fine now, right?’

Adin energetically responded to Cale, who continued to show his concern until the end.

“It will be fine.”

That made Cale respectfully bow his head before looking back up. He pushed back his slightly messed up hair. The tips of his fingers were shaking.

The Imperial Prince thoroughly observed Cale's shaking hands. The crown prince interjected himself into their conversation at that moment.

“Your hand is shaking so much. It is worse than last time.”

“No, your highness. I am okay.”

Cale shook his head while smiling at Alberu. Alberu started to frown.

“Okay?! The last time you did this you had to rest for a couple of months! The reason you coughed up blood is because your body is breaking down on the inside!”

‘…An internal breakdown? Isn’t that a bit too much?’

Cale was debating whether he should do something about Alberu’s choice of words when someone suddenly grabbed his arms. It was Daltaro.

He quietly whispered as they were in front of the Imperial Prince. However, it was still loud enough for others to hear.

“You do not need to force yourself to stand up like this. Young master Cale, it is okay to rest now.”

Daltaro's eyes were sparkling with both concern and a sense of pride. Cale felt iffy after seeing such a gaze, but he decided to play along for now.

“…But.”

Imperial Prince Adin, who had been quietly observing him, started to speak as Cale tried to say something.

“It will be fine. We will take care of everything from here, so you can go get some rest.”

It was as if he was giving a stern command.

This was something that happened in the Empire, and the Royal Palace at that. He was sternly telling Cale that the Empire would take care of the rest and that Cale should stop concerning himself with it.

Cale opened and closed his mouth a few times, but did not say anything as Alberu started to speak.

“I am included in that, ‘we,’ you speak of, right?”

Alberu was trying to tell Adin that the Roan Kingdom's envoy was involved as well. The Imperial Prince looked toward Alberu for a bit before putting on his uniquely warm smile.

“Of course.”

However, Alberu could not help but scoff at him internally.

Adin was looking at Cale and Alberu with a concerned expression, but had never apologized for this incident.

‘He'll only say something like it was a pity that something like this happened in the official declaration as well.’

The Imperial Prince did not lower his head in front of the Roan Kingdom’s side.
