# Pushing forward too rashly (8)

“Ha... damn it.”

Alberu sighed continuously as he stealthily approached Cale and removed the gag.

“...Your Royal Highness?”

Alberu instantly frowned.

“Fuck. What Royal Highness bullshit.”

Extremely crude language flowed right out of his mouth. However, Cale was not someone who would care about that.

“Why did you come here, your Royal Highness?”

“Ho!”

Alberu looked at the guy who was tightly bound to the iron chair and had a gag in his mouth until just moments ago.

‘Is this bastard out of his mind?’

He truly thought that was the case.

This guy looked calm and refreshed as if he had gotten a good night's rest. He seemed relaxed without any signs of fear or wariness. This attendant looked perfectly normal while tightly bound to the chair.

‘He definitely looks like a crazy bastard.’

Alberu started to regret his decision.

‘Should I not have come?’

“Fuck.”

Crude language came out of his mouth again and Cale shook his head.

“Your word choice is extremely crude, your Royal Highness.”

“...I should just stop talking. I was crazy.”

Alberu could not hide his lamentation. Cale looked at Alberu as if he was amused.

Why?

It was because Alberu was talking like that but still freeing Cale with a dagger he pulled from his pocket.

"Why did they make this so tight? Do you not understand what is going on?”

Cale immediately responded to Alberu’s casual question.

“I was imprisoned by his Majesty’s guards. I will probably die soon. They’ll probably kill you too if they catch you doing this, won’t they? Ah, they might not kill you because you are a prince. But I cannot be certain about that. His Majesty is extremely difficult to read.”

“...So you do understand the situation.”

“Yes, your Royal Highness. I'm pretty good at things like that.”

“...Should I just leave this guy here?”

Cale just ignored the words Alberu mumbled.

He knew Alberu would still do everything he needed to do despite his grumbling.

“How did you come here, your Royal Highness?”

Cale looked at the area that was visible thanks to the magic light that Alberu brought with him.

He couldn't see everything but he could tell that he was in a prison-like area surrounded by stone walls.

“This is the first basement level of the library.”

“I see. Did you follow me?”

Alberu hesitated for a moment before responding to Cale’s nonchalant question.

“Yes. I did follow you.”

“That was good, your Royal Highness. You must verify things when you are suspicious of someone.”

Alberu looked at Cale as if he was looking at an impossible to comprehend creature before peeking at Cale's cold gaze that did not match his calm demeanor. He then lowered his head and focused on getting Cale free.

Of course, he was responding to Cale’s question as he did that.

“His Majesty left the library early in the morning so I waited for a bit before coming here.”

Cale realized that Alberu called King Zed his Majesty instead of Royal Father.

“You snuck in here.”

“I needed to get here before the librarian showed up.”

“You are quite skilled, your Royal Highness.”

“...Haaaa. Anyway, I came here because the only place you can really hide someone in the library is the first basement level. I found you in the corner room.”

“Hmm.”

Cale’s expression turned odd again.

“...So this is how the library’s basement looks like.”

“That’s right.”

The first basement level in the library...

The first basement level that Cale knew was a place used to store books and held rare books compared to the other levels because the books here needed to be stored with magic.

That was why it had the highest-grade facilities and was as bright and nice as the area above ground despite being in the basement.

‘It's a mess.’

However, the current first basement level had no source of light and seemed separately only by these old-looking stone walls.

There was so much dust that even Alberu was covered from head to toe.

“I guess there is a lot of dust?”

“...That...”

Alberu stopped for a moment before responding.

“...I ended up like this because I stealthily came here thinking that there may be traps or someone on guard.”

Alberu looked as if he had crawled on the ground to get here.

Of course, it had all been for naught after realizing that there was nobody here. A fifteen year old like him who had no experience in things like this had to choose to be as cautious as possible.

“That was good, your Royal Highness.”

Cale truly wanted to praise the young boy's judgment.

However, Alberu did not hear the praise as praise.

Shhh. Cale stood up and inspected his body after all of the ropes were released.

‘Not bad.’

He didn't seem injured.

Alberu hesitated for a moment before speaking. It was something he realized after noticing that there was nothing and no one in this first basement level.
