chapter 2

Pre-Heat Scenarios

I. Headpats and Praises

While the Western Continent nobles are making their marriage proposal and gifts to the Henituse family to win them over and deliver them to the duchy, Cale is having a bad day.

He wants to do something but doesn’t know what it is. So he called his kids and Choi Han to visit the wolves and tigers at Harris Village. Lock greets him and hunches down to Cale’s level, this comes naturally to him.

Cale stretched his hand to pat Lock's head, a small smile appeared on his face.

“Lock, my shield, my child. You grew well yet you still look thin. Keep up with training but push yourself hard and eat all your meals.” Cale preens after seeing Lock's flushing face. “Call your siblings too.”

‘Oh, Cale-nim omega instinct is giggling.’

The young wolves welcome him. Cale beckons them to come closer, he gives them headpats and gives them praises. Cale’s maternal instinct is squealing with excitement.

His pheromones nearly completely enveloped the whole of Harris Village. The pups purr with contentment over the scent of nature and apples.

He wasn’t satisfied so he called for the tiger pups too. The tigers which also include the big bulky adult tigers join them. They also receive their fair share of head pats—a strange scene where big men get headpats from a slender redhead.

It's a blissful scene of a young noble giving praise and headpats to the children, if you overlook the tribesmen who receive their share of headpats.

After a session of headpats, Cale sat in a corner with three kids hurdling in his lap. He pats their head and envelops them in their peaceful embrace.

The satisfied wolves and tigers decided they needed to train more for their young master. They love Cale’s scent of nature and apple pies, they knew they were home.

Before Choi Han joins the tigers and wolves in their training, Cale asks him to kneel in front of him. Cale gives him his shares of headpats too.

My puppy knight

Cale said that out loud. Choi Han is a blushing mess, he attempts to cover his face with his hand but Cale isn’t finished with his pat or his praises. Lock and the others made an effort to contain it since they didn't want to be part of Choi Han’s rigorous training.

Lock thinks that Choi Han hyung is lucky that Rosalyn noona is not here to tease him.

“My knight, my sword. Thank you for everything.”

Choi Han releases his happy pheromones which entangle with Cale scent. Cale had fallen asleep while patting Raon’s head. Choi Han carried Cale who was frustrated when they entered Cale's room in Harris Village.

Choi Han called Raon to send them back to Black Castle where he can place Cale in his nest where he can rest easy. Choi Han mutters an apology for entering Cale's nest uninvited and lays Cale in his bed.

Soft purrs were heard under the blanket.

II. Clopeh and his shenanigans

Clopeh heard that Cale visited his room and concluded that he took something from his room for his nest and the announcement that Cale is an omega.

So now he is in front of the Black Castle. Cale, who woke up from his nap, spent the afternoon in the living room where most people's lingering scent stayed, a comfort for him while others were busy with their tasks.

Cale noticed the upcoming arrival of a lunatic. Clopeh clenched his hands together and praised Cale.

“Cale-nim you are g-“

“Clopeh, stop, don’t you dare continue that sentence.”

“But you are. Cale nim is a legend himself.”

Cale let out his weak pheromones, Sherritt sensing the faint whiff of irritation, materialized next to him.

“I shall record Cale-nim's heroic actions and daily life for the museum.”

“Don't.” Cale is getting agitated. “I’m not in the mood to deal with you.”

Clopeh keeps insisting that he is a legend and a hero.

“Sherritt-nim, please pick him up and throw him outside.”

She was already displeased so she complied with Cale words and threw him using a shield. Cale goes back to his room chucking Clopeh’s white robe outside of his nest door.

Alberu, who was sent a videotape by Rosalyn showing Clopeh's clothes outside Cale’s nest, chukled.

Those who have seen that learned that making Cale stressed out makes their stuff chuck out of Cale’s nest.

They disliked the thought of that.
