I think you mentioned not having read part 2 of tcf so I'll leave this here for you:
“Hey Dongsaeng, do you by chance want to be the Prime Minister?”
“…….”
Cale looked at Alberu with a gaze that made it seem as if he truly had been wronged. It was Alberu’s turn to flinch.
Cale’s complexion looked good since his return from the Central Plains, but seeing this extremely hurt gaze tugged at his heart.
“…That was so mean of me.”
Alberu apologized and Cale happily accepted it.
“Yes, your highness. That was too much.”
- Part 2 - ch 208
NO WAY NO WAY NO WAY, THIS IS REAL LMAO????? OH MY GOD....... CROWN PRINCE APPOLOGIZE RIGHT NOW 😭😭
"... That was so mean of me." "Yes (good you know)." THATS SO FUNNY. WHY IS HE LIKE THIS 😭 Alver's reply sounded so sincere too. Did Cale hit him with the kicked-puppy look? A thousand-yard stare? I'm reeling. I'm gonna think about this for days. I'm almost tempted to read Part 2 just because of this (I'm not going to bc I value my sanity...)
Good to know Cale is still suffering from success (can it rlly be called success if he's always heading further away from his slackers life?) as always tho 😭 Over a thousand chapters and still no end in sight for him, huh...... Jung Yeseo, you really got lucky. Thanks to the power, will, and sincere wishes of the readers (story-wise and meta-wise haha), you were able to reach your happy ending... Sadly for Cale, it seems both the readers and writer want to prolong his suffering 😂😭😭
(((ANYHOW THANK YOU SM FOR SENDING THIS EXERPT ANON. I LET OUT THE BIGGEST AMUSED YET PITYING LAUGH)))
