Trash of the Count's Family

Chapter 161: Somehow Once Again (1)

Cale could hear people in the distance. He couldn’t tell whether they were screams or shouts. Many unidentifiable voices were mixed together.

Cale maintained his eye contact with the Cat and started to speak.

“Hilsman.”

The Cat flinched.

“Yes sir!”

At that moment, Hilsman approached the Cat and reached his hands outward.

The Cat tried to quickly turn and run away. However, the injury on his side made his front paw buckle and Hilsman did not miss that moment.

“I caught him!”

The Vice Captain could not hold on tightly to the injured Cat, and thus did his best to carefully hold the Cat as he approached Cale.

“Grrrrrr.”

The Cat revealed his fangs and raised his claws. His claws seemed ready to cut through Hilsman's leather armor at any moment.

“Ay.”

The Cat heard a sigh at that moment. A cold fluid poured over his body at the same time.

It was a potion.

Cale poured the potion on the Cat as a temporary solution as he started to speak.

“I can’t just ignore seeing the knight who showed me around being injured like this.”

The Cat flinched. Vice Captain Hilsman also flinched. Cale held back his sigh at Hilsman’s gaze that seemed to be saying that he had no idea as he observed the Cat Knight.

This knight was said to be from the slums.

The crown of any nation selects knights from the ordinary citizens on a strict ratio. To be picked like that is already a difficult feat; that citizen being from the slums meant that they had significant talent and luck.

He recalled what Hilsman had said about the Cat Knight.

‘Some of his siblings were said to have gone to the Alchemy Tower 15 years ago. His parents definitely seem to be human.’

Where would those siblings have gone 15 years ago?

Would they have gone to the Alchemists’ Bell Tower?

It would make sense for this Knight to try to kill the Vice Tower Master if that was the case.

Cale and the Cat’s gazes were still on each other as if they were feeling each other out. The Cat looked at the empty potion bottle and his healing injuries as he started to speak.

“… What do you plan to do with me?”

“You say that after you've been caught already?”

The Cat Knight stopped speaking at Cale's response.

Are you also trying to destroy Alchemy?

He had flinched at that question and pain had shot through his body. His injuries were then healed by the potion and the pain had gone away.

He had grown up in the slums and had developed his quick wit while living on the edge inside of the palace. That wit was telling him that he should go with this person.

The Cat Knight could hear the voice of Cale Henituse, the noble from the Roan Kingdom.

“The Roan Kingdom came here to investigate the incident caused by the Alchemists’ Bell Tower and the Empire 15 years ago.”

15 years ago.

Those words made the Cat Knight emotional.

He tried to soak in Cale’s calm demeanor.

“We wish to reveal their evil sins to the world. We want to show the world what the Empire and the Alchemists’ Bell Tower did to the people of the slums 15 years ago.”

“…I heard you came here to investigate the Magic Bomb terror incident.”

“Then why did I heal you and why am I trying to save you?”

The Cat flinched before starting to speak.

“…Save?”

“Yes.”

Cale slowly walked away from the dark corner of the garden toward the brightly lit area. He then gave Hilsman an order.

“Hilsman, I'll take care of everything else, so carefully head back to the palace.”

A highest-grade expert.

Hilsman was an expert now as well.

“Yes, young master-nim. I understand.”

Hilsman sounded reliable as he said that. Cale turned around. His gaze headed toward the Sun Palace entrance that was still busy with people coming out.

However, he heard the Cat Knight's voice before he could even take a single step.

“I cannot live.”
