Cale: Father, why do I have a fake knife to cut my food but Lily has a real one.

Deruth: She is a mature girl. She is careful enough to not get hurt.

Cale: And I am not?

Violan: She won't stab her own heart.

Cale: …

Everyone: …

Cale: *Silently tries to cut the steak with the fake knife*

The crown hosts a ball. Of course all noble households in the Roan kingdom are present. Same goes for the Duke's House of Henituse as well.

Cale, who had separated himself from the rest of his family members to go to a corner and enjoy the desserts with the invisible Raon and had kept his Dominating Aura activated to keep the annoyances away, is approached by his youngest sibling.

Lily, being the brave knight she is, asks her eldest brother for a dance. Cale, who already feels guilty for being as absent from her life as he is and not being a proper older brother for her, accepts it for her sake. He needs to do at least this much for her as an older brother.

There is, however, one tiny problem.

Cale, no, Kim Roksoo doesn't know how to dance. The original Cale Henituse was so invested in his act of being a trash that he never bothered to learn it, so currently Cale had no muscle memory to rely on either.

Lily, who kind of predicted this when she approached him, ends up leading the dance. It's truly an unexpected sight to see Cale Henituse dancing a waltz in the middle of the ballroom. The Commander, who was often seen bleeding out on the battlefield as he fought in the forefront, elegantly moving his body to the flow of the music was truly captivating.

Basen Henituse has never been so jealous of his little sister seven years his junior. Neither has he ever felt so remorseful of being born a man. He wishes he could share a waltz with his elder brother too.

Cale, the magnanimous brother as he is, readily agrees to dance with him. When they're off the floor, Basen makes a victory fist as soon as nobody is watching.

Duchess Violan hesitates at first. But then she decides she should join in on the fun too. Thus, for the first time ever, she shares a waltz with her step son. Something she only used to do with her husband and son, Basen, in the past. She never expected there would come a day when it would be possible for her to dance with Cale. However, as it seemed, today was the day.

Deruth is much too overwhelmed at being reminded of Jour to ask Cale for a dance. He's just happy watching the others enjoy themselves.

The thing that Lily started, what was continued by Basen and Violan, naturally everyone wanted to be a part of it. Not everyone was lucky enough though. Cale accepted their requests for a dance because they were his family. As for the rest of the people present in this ballroom? He could care less.

He does end up sharing a dance with Amiru Ubarr and Rosalyn though, people who were good at leading the dance for the inexperienced him.

Once he returns from the ball, the children demand he dance with them. Raon, who watched his dance at the ball, tries to imitate his partners leading Cale through the dance. On and Hong are quick to learn as they watch before each following suit one after another.

It was the night the Black Castle shone the brightest and illuminated the Forest of Darkness to the point the name had never felt less fitting as it did that day.

Bonus:

Taking a leaf out of Basen's book, Alberu asks his precious dongsaeng for a dance. Cale is disgusted and flabbergasted but also plays along.

"dongsaeng, are you purposefully trying to step on my feet?"

"hyung-nim must know I never learned to dance, so it's expected."

"you didn't step on anyone else's feet though?"

"maybe they were just better at leading the dance than you are."

Alberu, baffled, "cheeky brat."

"the brat is older than yourself, hyung-nim."

"ha!" Alberu is in disbelief. "Well, i guess I should assign a dance instructor to my beloved dongsaeng then."

The dance ends and Cale whispers to him before walking away "sure. Send him to the Black Castle." Knowing it's near impossible for anyone to withstand the presence of the individuals residing there.

The next day, Tasha is at the Black Castle.

"My nephew asked me to teach the young master how to waltz. I was the one to teach that boy, so you can rest assured!"

Cale feels like he lost for the first time in a while.

Eric: am i hallucinating dongsaeng cuddles..???

Cale: if i get out in 1 hour and 48 minutes my trash persona will still be in tact and he will never know that i crave stupid human things like affection 😼

Aka that one story abt the guy who took in a street cat who would only cuddle with him at night when the cat thought the guy was asleep made me think of og cale dnjsjsnsn

[alien-slushie]

Deruth: Did you kidnap chrildren?!

Cale: They asked for it.

Violan: Cale!!

Cale: No, they litterally asked to come with me.

[thelikesoffinn]

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if Duchess Violan and Duke Deruth took petty revenge on Cales enemies out of pure spite.

Cale: The Bishop of the Church of the Sun God looked down on me.

Violan and Deruth: *probably planning to run off to donate a fuck ton of money to the church of the God of death simply because they can*

Acquaint Fate - Ch 13

Preview:

[we-stan-cale]

What if, now hear me out, Deruth and Violan know Cale is a transmigrator.

This probably has spoilers for part 1,so I'll put the rest below a cut.

Cale's mother knew that Cale would either be a regressor or a transmigrator, and she starts her diary by asking the reader who it is in her son's body.

Now, it's entirely possible that she kept that secret from her husband, but it's also possible that she told him something...

And in the very beginning we see Deruth note that Cale had changed. And immediately decided to increase the strength of his territory.

Much, much later Duke Fredo came to the Henituse territory and joked about Cale being his son.

Except Violan heard this and reacted... Strangely.

Here:

Choi Han, who had been walking past Violan, subconsciously stopped walking after seeing her hand. Violan’s hand was slightly shaking. Choi Han raised his head to look at her face. Her eyes were so focused on Cale and Duke Fredo as if she didn’t even notice Choi Han looking at her. ‘…Why does she have such an expression-’ It looked as if tens of years were instantly passing through Violan’s face. It was an impossible to explain type of expression. Choi Han found this to be weird because Violan was always flawless with her expressions.

And here:

Choi Han could see Violan’s mouth starting to open. “…Ah. Of course. What delusion-” She let out a short but deep sigh. She seemed to have been shocked by what she just said and flinched before turning her head to look around.

Now, there doesn't seem to be any doubt about Cale's paternity. His mother's ancient power even noted that he looked a bit like Deruth. So why would Violan react so strangely to this?

It's possible that Deruth also said something to Violan, and she was worried this really was Cale's - or rather the transmigrator in Cale's body's - real father.

What do you guys think?

On Deruth moving on thing

Oh well, another revelation of the Henituse family

I don’t care if Deruth married Violan quickly or not.

What I care is that he didn’t give any shit to og!Cale with regards to his marriage. (Basen is probably too young to even understand). I would argue that if Deruth doesn't give a shit then people should not give a shit about him in return, especially his kid.

He married someone else without any care to everyone who will be affected by that marriage, especially his existing kid. And for you dissenters, give me a canon example of what they they actually did to counter this argument.

I understand he must be lonely. I doubt he's still grieving because he did marry Violan. But what does a second marriage serve if its foundations or the families blending are not ready? Or is it only the adults who got a say because it’s only their feelings that matter? If their feeling are the ones who matter – then it is just serving the couple, and not the whole family – as some people say that this family is about family in all things?

And to think, realistically, it takes almost five to seven years to properly blend a family. If Deruth and Violan got a shotgun wedding, then I guess they don’t really give a shit about their children. If they didn't, I wonder how much prep they did and still having core issues like communication. I have to commend how they resembled many single parents doing blending families in real life. Real children of blended families cut their own families for the same damn reason.

Sure they want to get married (and they have every right being adults) but eff the kids. Having the capacity to do something doesn’t mean they are right short and/or long term. Most of the time, it’s the kids who get the short end of the stick. Adults get their fill of having another spouse. Og!Cale is still clinging to Jour's memory and Basen is probably was too young for the marriage and most likely, doesn’t even know his birth father.

Because they are nice and kind or whatever good qualities they have - does that give them license to be less mindful or considerate to their own children that have no control over the state of their families? That they cannot be accountable, even to their child/ren about their actions? That is just something to be swept away under the rug?

And I read some people who are still advocating for og!cale to still stack with these people.

Fandom, make it make sense.

[viviterria]

Lords of other territories: I will be watching each of the princes closely. I will think about the maximum benefit that I can get from each of them and then I will make a choice who to support.

Count Deruth: Oh, how sweet☺️! My son has a new friend! Our family will support him as a contender for the throne.🥰

Other Henituse: *nods in agreement

Yes, yes, I know it wasn't quite like that! But it's so funny, isn't it? 🤣🤣

[inked-night]

"San Lang is my husband" Cale just smiled kindly, deliberately ignoring the shocked expressions and scandalized screams of the group in front of him. He felt slightly amused at his reactions, however, he refrained from snorting or laughing, maintaining a composed posture. "I'm sorry I didn't say it sooner, Father"

The count found himself opening and closing his mouth, unable to fully process the new information. He had to use all of his self-control to keep his legs from giving way or his hands from desperately clinging to his son's shoulders, babblingly demanding confirmation that it was a joke. However, just looking at Cale's soft and loving expression was enough for his hopes to be brutally crushed. Cale, her beloved son was really married.

It wasn't the simple fact that he got married in secret, but that he had done it with a guy about whom he had no information!

"Cale" The Countess called hesitantly, quickly hiding any trace of surprise on her face. "How long have you been married?" She asks, feeling a little out of place, because she wasn't entirely sure if she was allowed to question her stepson's life after so long without interacting with each other.

"We have been married for 2 years" He hums, tilting his head slightly as a contemplative look crossed his face. Internally patted herself on the back at the naturalness with which her response came out, since she wasn't lying at all… Well, actually he had been married to Hua Cheng for 2 centuries, but they were small details that wouldn't hurt to hide. At least for the mental health of his father, who seemed on the verge of having a breakdown.

O; Due to his bad luck, Xie Lian becomes involved in a deal with the God of Death and his soul is transported to the body of his first life. Now reprising the role of Cale Henituse, he slowly becomes aware that defeating the White Star is a bit more challenging than he originally believed. Fortunately, her husband, Hua Cheng is by her side and is more than willing to provide support.

How I headcannon Deruth and Violan's relationship

same energy but I can't explain why

[luebirdd]

I think about something:

When Kim rook soo transmigrated, he creates a connection with death, so he starts to get affected by that connection, dreaming with death.

And then he seeks refuge in painting, starting to paint pictures, horrific paintings, which bring the feeling he feels in his dreams: anguish.

He coments that he starts to paint. Violan asked to see his paintings. And you can already imagine what happens. The whole family is worried.

And deep down, it's not just the connection with the god of death that makes him paint those paintings.

There were multiple experiences. And he found the copy mechanism, just to feel a little comforted.

💓 Crossover 💓

🎨⭐🎨 Violan Henituse 🎨⭐🎨

Her elegant and serene demeanor is what many of the nobles praise about Violan. So much so that they consider her a role model in high society.

This wasn't always the case, as after she became the countess, some of these same nobles mocked her, calling her a wannabe noblewoman and other nicknames that Cale took care to silence.

Tcf part 2 chapter 206

“Career counseling. That’s a really good idea. You should also get career counseling with us.”

“… yes?"

“I heard from His Majesty the Crown Prince that your head exploded and you almost died?” This damn crown prince!

(...)

“Career counseling. No.” But the Duchess was strong. "Cale. You need to get some life counseling today.”

DAMN VIOLAN DAMN!!!! DRAG HIS ASS!!

[caleism-1]

Cale Henituse has been summoned back into the temple of the Sealed God along with a number of his closest friends and allies, where they discover that the seemingly omniscient system once tasked with the administration of the tests has been reprogrammed and given a different purpose. Its new task: to grant those summoned the opportunity to have any one question of their choosing answered. Unfortunately, those responsible for creating this situation had neglected to take into account the damage that the temple had sustained during the recent conflict. Thanks to this oversight, the once capable AI has been reduced to only having access to the knowledge and memories of those currently present in the temple. Fortunately for the group, they soon realize that there are many questions that only Cale Henituse knows the answers to.
