# Pushing forward too rashly (2)

‘How could there be a punk like this?’

Alberu Crossman was looking at Cale with such a gaze.

‘Hmm.’

However, he just seemed young to Cale.

‘His situation is completely different from the Alberu Crossman that I know.’

The crown prince's clothes were made of luxurious material and the design was elegant. However, it looked quite old. It was also not ironed properly.

‘I guess it can’t be helped.’

There were only a minimum number of royal servants and royal maids to maintain the palace in the first prince’s palace right now. There were no attendants.

Cale's gaze headed toward the tray in his hands. He had heard that the kitchen in the first prince's palace had stopped functioning a few weeks ago.

Cale had heard from a royal servant prior to walking into this room that was being used as a study.

‘His highness has kicked out most of the attendants.’

‘The chef was kicked out as well. Actually, that-’

The royal servant looked around before quietly informing Cale.

‘I think it was because of poison. Since he doesn't know when he might die......’

Fifteen years old Alberu seemed much fiercer than the adult who smiled elegantly.

It was probably because he was short and skinny for his age.

Of course, he was not extremely skinny. However, he was definitely below average. He probably seemed even more like that because his clothes were lacking compared to the other princes.

“Why are you dawdling around like that?”

He heard the sharp voice again.

Cale pushed the tray forward.

“I will at least leave this here even if I have to go out, your highness.”

He put the tray on one side of Alberu’s desk.

Pen, books, etc... Everything was of the highest quality but had clearly been used for a while. Cale even peeked at the bottle of ink before taking about two steps back and bowing toward Alberu who was observing him.

“Your highness, I have been assigned to this First Prince Palace starting today. I will do my best to serve you as best as possible.”

“Pffft.”

Alberu openly scoffed. He sounded as if he didn’t believe Cale at all. He had a sneer on his face as he looked at Cale.

“I-”

“Whatever. I don’t wish to know your name.”

He didn't even ask for Cale’s name. He didn’t wish to hear. He said the following instead.

“I'm curious to know when you will leave.”

He heard an immediate response.

“I will leave soon, your highness.”

“...What?”

Smile. Cale smiled at him.

Fifteen years old Alberu slightly frowned. This clueless looking attendant... He was certain that this guy was new and the fact that he had no colors on the upper part of his uniform symbolized that he was the newest of the newest attendants. He clearly seemed to know nothing about this palace.

However, that clueless look had disappeared and his overall appearance suddenly seemed different the moment he smiled.

“...Ha!”

Alberu scoffed in disbelief before looking away from Cale.

“I hope you leave as quickly as possible.”

Cale simply bowed instead of responding.

“May I please go see the Chief of Staff for a moment?”

Alberu smiled as if he had expected this and responded.

“Take care of things like that on your own without asking.”

“I will make sure to be back quickly, your highness.”

Cale quietly walked out of the study like a proper attendant.

Alberu did not touch the cold soup until that moment.

Click.

The study door closed and Cale exited the palace.

‘It’s definitely lacking.’

The garden surrounding the First Prince Palace was quite lacking compared to the other palaces. This garden was of course much fancier than the gardens of the nobles, but it was basic compared to the other gardens which were attended to on a daily basis.

“Attendant-nim.”

Cale heard someone stop him as he left the First Prince Palace to go see the Chief of Staff.

It was the royal servant who had informed Cale about the attendants and chef earlier.

The royal servant peeked toward the First Prince Palace and stealthily asked.

“He’s kind of on the edge, isn’t he?”

The servant did not specify who, but it was obvious that he was talking about Alberu.

Cale smiled and responded. For reference, that smile seemed extremely clueless.

“Not at all. I'm sure he was a bit sensitive because his food was delivered so late.”

“You truly have a big heart, attendant-nim.”

The royal servant sounded full of admiration before he looked around. He then gulped and took another step closer to Cale.

“Umm, attendant-nim.”

“Yes?”

“...Please be careful.”

The royal servant tightly clenched on his dirt-covered gloves as he continued to speak.

“I have nowhere to go but it should be different for you, attendant-nim. This First Prince Palace is dangerous.”

Cale's face turned serious.

He observed the royal servant's face with a stiff look on his face before nodding his head.

“I will take your advice to heart.”

The royal servant seemed satisfied with that response as he nodded his head and smiled.
