Trash of the Count's Family

Cale looked toward On, Hong, and Raon.

‘What is going on?’

He asked the three of them with his gaze, but the three just sighed and shook their heads.

“Soooooooob.”

Cale could still hear Mueller continuing to cry. Why was he crying so much? Cale turned back toward Mueller.

Both the dwarves and the Rat people were very short. Having received both sets of genetics, Mueller was smaller than both dwarves and Rats.

He resembled the dwarves in fairy tales, having very cute features that would make almost any adult have the desire to protect this small person.

However, this did not apply to Cale.

“I feel so bad for him.”

On and Hong wagged their tails before approaching Mueller with pity in their eyes. Mueller started to shake even worse as they got closer. He was crying even louder now.

“...I feel so bad for him.”

Cale internally snorted at On’s words.

There was no need to feel bad for him. Mueller was 30 years old and lorded over the others as part of the family that helped develop the Magic Tower. He knew about the Magic Tower’s last line of defense, but did not use it because that would have meant revealing himself to Toonka and his crew. He was so scared that he just ignored his father’s last wishes. [1]

If it wasn’t for that, there was no way that the Mage faction would have lost so badly.

Of course, this was actually beneficial to Cale.

Although he looked like a young and cute boy based on his appearance, inside of that body was a thirty-year-old man who knew the ways of the world. He knew that his own life was what mattered the most.

Naturally, Cale preferred such a person.

“Sooooob.”

Cale was tired of seeing a grown ass man continuing to cry. He decided to stop the good guy act.

“Hey.”

Mueller flinched at Cale’s voice. He started to shake again after seeing the steel rod in Cale’s hand. He felt like this was the end of his life.

Plop, plop.

Cale placed some things on Mueller’s arms while he was still crouching inside the wall. It was a loaf of bread and a bottle of milk. He had taken it out of his magic bag.

Mueller’s eyes started to shake. He cautiously looked up at Cale only to see a slightly annoyed expression.

Eat it.”

Mueller quickly took a bite after hearing what sounded like a command. Cale had an odd feeling while watching Mueller eat the bread that got drenched in his tears.

‘...He seems to be useless.’

He had a bad feeling about this. Mueller looked like a totally useless fool.

He was supposed to have the dwarves’ technical skills and the Rat’s stealth and meticulousness. This combination was said to have given him the potential to become the greatest developer and constructor. But why-

“T, thank you very much.”

Why does he feel like such a doof?

Cale had a bitter taste in his mouth. However, On, Hong, and Raon all looked toward Mueller with pity and approached him. They were trying to be his shield, as it looked like he was afraid of Cale.

However, contrary to their intentions, Mueller was unable to even taste the bread he was chewing. Two purebred Cat tribe kittens and a dragon. At that moment, he heard a noise that brought chills down his spine.

Ding. Ding.

Cale tapped the wall with the steel rod. There was no reason behind it, he was just randomly tapping. He had a bad feeling about Mueller, but decided to take him anyway.

The Henituse territory had a lot of sculptors, as well as skilled artisans of all styles. There were especially many artisans involved in construction. It was because they had a lot of quarries. That was why Mueller would be useful.

“Do you want to live?”

Cale’s low voice echoed throughout the staircase. He started to get annoyed with Mueller, who looked like he was ready to cry again.

Ding. Ding.

Cale calmed himself by tapping on the wall with the steel rod. He thought about how he probably needed to be gentle with Mueller since he was such a coward. Cale put on a gentle smile as he asked Mueller.

“Should I save you?”

Mueller vigorously nodded his head. It was so energetic that the breadcrumbs started to fling off of him. Cale was satisfied with his energetic response and started to speak in a relaxed manner.

“Then you have to listen to me. Got it?”

“Y, yes sir!”

“Eat your bread first.”

Mueller quickly started to eat the bread. Cale was satisfied with the speed and casually asked.

“You know where the Magic Tower liege’s treasure room is, right?”

Plop.

The bread in Mueller’s hand dropped to the ground. Cale gently added on.
