Chapter 24: Mistake


    "But isn''t there one measurable thing that pleasures woman?"


    "Ah, you-"


    "You''re right!" Van abruptly stood up giving the surrounding a surprise. Even the musicians stopped to listen and also to rest.


    He was too conscious of the awkward silence he was creating so he drowns himself with beer again. Eventually, he got drunk even though he was strong against alcohol and when he heard this, he took the bait.


    "What is your name?!" with a loud voice, Van asked.


    "Kalin." Kalin innocently smiled.


    "...." while losing bnce, Van looked at Kalin and said, "Kalin... I heard you''re useless, dumb, stupid, and an idiot... they are correct! But what you said is right! Real men fight with their d*cks!"


    "Pfft-!" Kalin immediately closed his mouth.


    "..."


    "...:


    Everyone was stupefied by what he said. His tone was even heroic and charismatic as if he said something that would inspire soldiers into battle. Kalin didn''t even mention anything about fighting.


    Jhin was surprised when Van suddenly stood up but when he heard what he said, his expression becamepetitive. Even though he only drank a few sses of beer, he was already drunk from the start.


    He too stood up and agreed, "Yes! Only real men had d*cks so we must fight with them!"


    Jhin took it literally.


    "I can''t believe I haven''t thought of this." Van then looked at Jhin with determined eyes.


    "I think this is the first time we agree on something." Jhin stared back at Van with the same ming eyes.


    When their servants who were waiting at the door saw this, they panicked. If this situation continued and the two did "fight", it would be too shameful that even the people with the same surname as they are will be ashamed because of them.


    They had to stop this no matter what.


    However... what happened was too fast.


    It was as if time was slowed down. Kalin was on the floor, kicking it as heughed his ass off. The men were chanting in entertainment. The girls had their faces red but they didn''t dare to look away.


    Although the two didn''t actually "fight" because they were limp, it was enough to bring shame to their families and generations to pass.


    As both men screamed with their pride, they brought their pants down as if they were about to go to war and it was the first time the women reallyughed because of Jhin and Van.


    Kalin never stoppedughing for the whole night while the servants were putting the two''s pants up back.


    At that night, different kinds of screams could be heard and two warcries toppled them...


    In the next morning, Kalin''sughter was what they heard and echoed in their minds. Remembering the shameful incidentst night which was known as "The Rival''s Little Show-off" throughout the whole Trading-Hills Capital overnight, the mockingughter was echoing in their head.


    It was obvious that the dumb Kalin had yed them. They trembled in realization. This means that the dumb useless man that was known all over the capital isn''t what they thought he was.


    They were already shocked to find out that he could speak and act like a person with an average intellect once a month, but they realized that he was capable of something...


    ABOVE AVERAGE!


    The whole capital went into a mess. The two rivals saw this and even fanned the mes that will hide, no, burn their shameful act. Together, they were strong and made Kalin get what he deserved!


    A scolding from his parents...


    That was when Kalin''s parents realized that this man was just acting. Although what he did was not really amazing but if ced to their low expectations towards him, it was shocking.


    It was as if a monkey made the two rivals drunk and suggested them to show off their sticks!


    So the parents were shocked. How can they be so blind? This child is not useless nor stupid, he was mischievous, ying with his parents'' feelings...


    That was why his father brought him to the party. If he was not that stupid, then maybe he would learn something from this formal party. Learn some adequate and respect for others. Learn what is real life.


    The father didn''t expect Kalin to court Princess Alisera or anything. It was hard to imagine it would happen. It was akin to a monkey courting Princess Alisera.


    However, after noticing the strange couple on the dark side of the party, he realized this was the stupidest idea he ever had.


    ''Is my son''s stupidity came from me?'' the father feared. He wasrgely regretting his actions. He was fine bringing his mischievous son here since his reputation couldn''t go any lower.


    Even if Kalin does something stupid or nonsensical, it was already a given. They would even be surprised if he did not get drunk there at the party, disturbing everyone.


    None longer med Kalin, but his father for bringing him there. However, the father was expecting this. He didn''t even know where he and his mother had gone wrong in raising their child. So he would sacrifice this much to even teach Kalin some little manners.


    Such a great father, but how did his son turn out that way?


    But today was an exception. There were people that they cannot offend no matter what happened.


    So the father. Numui, went to find Kalim in the hall. He saw that the Idiotic Rivals were getting over-friendly with each other, maybe some kind ofpetition they have again. This suggested that they didn''t saw Kalin because if they do, they would try to mess with him.


    As he looked for his son that disappeared, the host was about to finish speaking and everyone apuded.


    "Ladies and gentlemen, please wee our third ruler of the Crown Council, Princess Alisera from the Karan Kingdom!"


    Then the ps became louder as some sort of highlight were ced onto one of the door with concentrated lighting stones.


    The King and Queen apuded. They were just staying in the shadows because they couldn''t care less about greeting any of these nobles. As long as nobody messes with them, they will stay silent.


    Their focus was on Princess Alisera, waiting for her toe out with joyful tears on their eyes while having piercing re from time to time that would make anyone shudder when they were searching for this Avion Teller in the crows. However, they saw no one who fit the description.


    When the door opened and revealed the Goddess of Haliviana, the King and Queen finally found who they were looking for. They didn''t know if they should cry in joy for seeing how beautiful and graceful their daughter is on her velvet dress or should explode in anger, seeing that her arms were locked onto a teenage boy who had a troubled face,ing out with a smile.


    They did both.
