‘Is there any way I can not give this speech?’

Cale thought and thought again as he looked at the approaching Henituse Estate.

Honestly speaking, he had planned on firmly rejecting the request when he was first asked to speak at the Academy.

Whether it was the crown prince’s scheming or not, he thought that he could just ignore it, but!

‘Young master-nim, apparently young lady Lily is looking extremely forward to it.’

Hearing Ron’s report from the Henituse family made Cale feel as if he could not reject it.

‘Young master Basen, the Duke-nim, and the Duchess-nim are all talking about going to the capital together and they all seem extremely excited and happy.’

The way Ron smiled benignly as he said that made Cale obvious to the fact that this vicious old man was making fun of him. However, he could not ignore those comments.

Why? Because Ron was not someone who would lie about news from the Henituse Duchy.

That meant that the entire Henituse family was looking forward to Cale’s speech right now.

‘I’m sure they are most looking forward to Lily entering the Academy.’

Lily was the main character.

However, Cale had ended up as an important supporting character.

‘Shit.

I don’t want to give a speech!’

However, the problem was that Cale was quite aware of himself.

‘I’m a terrible son.

A terrible older brother to both of my siblings.’

Cale spent quite a bit of time away from the territory and did not spend much time with his family.

Nonetheless, the Henituse family continued to openly show affection and support for Cale.

He could not just ignore this when such people were looking forward to it.

‘Yeah, no matter how bad I am, I guess I can at least do small things like this.’

He wasn’t going to be the territory lord and he planned on being a slacker and doing nothing once he took care of the Hunters.

In the future, people will talk about how the eldest son of that family disregarded the territory and just wastes his time all day. Wouldn’t it be good to do little things like giving this speech to make them happy while he still could?

‘Yeah, a speech like this is nothing!

I just have to say a few things.’

“Haaaaa.”

Cale let out a sigh. The children averaging ten-years-old and Lock looked toward him.

He heard a benign voice at that moment.

“Young master-nim, are you concerned about the speech?”

Cale flinched.

That vicious old man, Ron, was in the carriage with them. He had forgotten about that for a moment.

After going through Xiaolen and past Central Plains to return back to Roan…

Ron was extremely attentive to Cale’s every need as if he was trying to fully complete his duties as his attendant.

That was why Cale was feeling relaxed.

‘I still need to have a moment of truth with him though.’

Neither Ron nor Beacrox were showing any signs of wanting to chat with him about it, so Cale was just feigning ignorance.

‘I also don’t have time for that.’

Aipotu.

Cale was quite busy with a trip to Aipotu right in front of him.

He looked at Ron’s benign smile and quickly answered.

“Not really.”

Ron’s gentle smile became even bigger.

“But it is still your first time giving a speech in front of students, young master-nim.”

Cale went through his memories after hearing that.

‘The first time-’

While Cale was Kim Rok Soo, he had received multiple requests to give lectures or speeches.

He had especially received a lot of requests to give a lecture during the training for new employees.

Kim Rok Soo had tried to say no because he was already extremely busy and didn’t want to do something so annoying, but…

‘They basically bribed me with the budget.’

Kim Rok Soo agreed to give the lectures after they told him that they would increase his department’s budget.

Cale recalled the memories of that time.

‘So the lecture-’

‘Huh?

I didn’t give any?’

Now that he thought about it, he had received a lot of requests for lectures.

These were not just from his own company but also from the government and large guilds.

He had agreed to give them.

However, he never actually gave any of those lectures.

Cale quickly recalled the reason for that.

‘Things always happened.’

Yes, something always happened whenever he was about to give a lecture.

A big incident would happen so he would not be able to go give the lecture, or…

A terrorist incident would happen at the lecture location, making the priority not the lecture but evacuating people.

‘The most frequent reason was that monsters would appear right around or a bit far away from the lecture location, making me have to go take care of it.’

For some odd reason, things like that happened whenever Kim Rok Soo tried to give a lecture.
