Alberu Crossman, the sharp-witted but undervalued eldest son of the Crossman Consortium's head, is determined to carve his own path, his ambition burning bright despite a difficult family dynamic. Pouring his intellect into an AI startup, he faces constant roadblocks, his innovative ideas dismissed by investors beholden to his father's influence. Seeking solace one frustrating night, Alberu finds himself at a dimly lit bar, pouring out his woes to a quiet, handsome bartender named Kim Rok Soo. There's an unexpected understanding in Kim Rok Soo's reddish-brown eyes, a silent acknowledgment that intrigues Alberu. Their paths unexpectedly cross again at a university research meeting, revealing Kim Rok Soo's surprising intellect and insightful observations. Drawn into a reluctant collaboration, Alberu finds his preconceived notions challenged by the enigmatic bartender. Unbeknownst to Alberu, Kim Rok Soo is orchestrating events from the shadows, testing his capabilities with the help of unlikely allies. As their professional lives intertwine, an undeniable pull develops, neither realizing the hidden depths and the intertwined destinies that lie beneath the surface of their encounters.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: 백작가의 망나니가 되었다 - 유려한 | Lout of Count's Family | Trash of the Count's Family - Yulyeohan Rating: Not Rated Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Alberu Crossman/Cale Henituse | Kim Rok Soo Characters: Alberu Crossman, Cale Henituse | Kim Rok Soo, Zed Crossman, Deruth Henituse, Violan Henituse Additional Tags: Slow Burn, Mutual Pining, Established Relationship, Fluff and Humor Series: Part 2 of Cale x Alberu Summary:

King Zed Crossman thought he had everything mapped out: the kingdom's prosperity, the empire's rise, and his son Alberu's glorious reign. What he didn't foresee was the persistent, undeniably intimate connection blossoming between his stubbornly single son and the infamous slacker hero, Cale Henituse. When Zed's informants start whispering about late-night garden rendezvous, the exasperated king decides it's time for a royal nudge – a suggestion that involves rings, titles, and finally getting some peace and quiet in his retirement.

But convincing the perpetually burdened Alberu to commit, and the famously commitment-averse Cale to agree, proves to be a challenge even a seasoned monarch hadn't fully anticipated. Throw in a visit from the surprisingly insightful (and fiercely protective) Duke and Duchess Henituse, and Alberu finds himself navigating not just political landscapes, but the delicate terrain of Cale's deeply ingrained desire for a life of blissful laziness.

Things Cale has done for Alberu

Gave him a dead dragon's mana, increasing his strength by three times (iirc)

Went to the Land of Death on Alberu's request

Gave him the runaway mages of Whipper

Gave him the support of three out of five regions of the kingdom, strengthening his claim to the throne

Strengthened the kingdom's navy

Raised the military strength and combat power of the kingdom

Helped Roan gain solid friendship with Breck, Whipper and the Jungle, as well as cooperative alliance with other kingdoms

Literally won the war against the Northern alliance with minimal damage on their side

Placed Roan in the lead in defeating the White Star, making Roan the current strongest nation on two continents

Raised the standing of dark elves in society by actively involving them in the battles, making it easier for him to come clean about his identity without losing his claim to the throne

Protected his identity from being revealed by the White Star

"Your highness, your existence is meant to be."

Thanks to following Cale to another world, he learned about a new type of weapon and became the first person of his world to have wielded a gun

Made him a gaming addict

Emptied his pocket (not without bringing great profits of course)

Driven him nuts

[we-stan-cale]

This is so important too!

When the White Star and Alberu fought, we repeatedly saw people mention Cale. They wanted him there, they felt they would lose if he wasn't there...

And Alberu quite correctly pointed out that it is not good to rely too much on one person. (Also, him schooling the White Star on leadership is just chef's kiss mwah!)

We saw it again with Taylor here

Something like this would not have happened if Choi Han was here instead of those knights. Taylor became weak the moment he had that thought. ‘…This is the Roan Kingdom’s weakness.’ The weakness of the Roan Kingdom that was growing quickly on the Western continent was this. ‘We only rely on a few select people.’

Cale is constantly assessing to he skillsets of the people around him, and if he thinks there's a gap he fixes it.

That this is a story about building teams.

And just.. I absolutely love that they make this point.

That it's not one overpowered protagonist beating down all opposition.

When Raon was unavailable in the battle of the gorge, he brought in Witira.

When he suspected enemies had the darkness attribute while rescuing Bud & co, he brought in the Sun Twins.

And Alberu understands the same thing. Which is why he doesn't want his people constantly relying on Cale to come save them. (He also cares for Cale and knows Cale will never get his slacker life if everyone depends on him, but I don't think that was the main reason he said what he said.

[cakueee31]

Can't wait lcf official english release!!!!

[clareverie]

Waiting for my favorite AO3 AlbeCale fics to update. I need my daily dose of Vitamins A and C.

On another note, I'm currently reading The S-Classes That I Raised. And I really want to know why it's not BL? Like seriously???

SHJ to HYJ: "I want to lay bare what's inside you. Everything down to the depths of you."

This line is basically straight out of all the danmeis I've read so far.

[clareverie]

Cale wanting his bestie joining him in his shenanigans is soooo us. Who wouldn't want to go on a trip with the person who could understand everything you needed to say with just a lift of an eyebrow, or a nod? Or in their case, plot and scam.

[clareverie]

I always love Cale and Alberu's interactions the most. So knowing that Cale would just randomly think of Alberu when he was travelling to other worlds is so cute.

[clareverie]

For some reason I can't find my red color pencil so I had to improvise. The color turned okay, I guess.

[clareverie]

Dragons are really the best... when it comes to looting. Hahahaha. They all learned well from Cale.

[clareverie]

Re-reading TCF 2 while waiting for new chapters, and I just can't stop laughing at Eruhaben being so done with Cale's antics.

[clareverie]

After so, so many years, I finally tried to draw again. Not bad, I guess.

I just can't get bebe Cale out of my head. 🙃🙂🙃
