Cale’s really funny. Throughout the story, he shamelessly uses Alver’s status and name to tackle the more political side of his battles. Like ‘You think you’re the shit? Well, I have The future King (potential Emperor) as My backing. So don’t even try me,’ Is it Young Master Silver Shield or a villainess wife??? Abusing future Empress privileges comes naturally huh…
And then when we get to the indignity test where he’s 15yo Alver’s servant…
‘No backing??? I’m his backing. I’ll even sit him on the damn throne myself. Who has no backing??? Don’t look down on my prince…(flips the palace upside down)’ ah… my interpretation of Cale is getting crazy
