Trash of the Count's Family

Chapter 225: Do Not Worry (6)

Eruhaben flinched as well.

“…Pay you back?”

He looked around at the other people in confusion. Choi Han nodded his head with a nostalgic look.

“You are correct. He definitely does need to pay for his meals.”

Mary nodded her head as well while Raon shouted with joy while floating next to Eruhaben.

“You're right! You must pay for your meals! There is no such thing as a free meal in this world! I've also paid for my meals and receive 20 silvers as my allowance!”

Eruhaben’s expression continued to get worse. He then heard Cale speaking to Pendrick again.

“I heard Elves are not materialistic. You won't ask for a reward for doing a good deed, right?”

He was speaking in a gentle tone. It was not a wrong statement either.

Cale recalled how the Elf Village tried to use him and thought about how he could use Pendrick and the other Elves.

He then calmly addressed the silent Pendrick.

“Hmm? Pendrick, don't you agree?”

“…I do.”

“Good!”

Pendrick blankly watched Cale who patted him on the shoulder with a bright smile. He was wondering what mess he got himself into as soon as he got here. Cale handed him a pristine white priest robe at that moment.

It was the same one that the group had worn when they were pretending to be priests with Saint Jack in the past.

“Alright, go to work.”

“Ahem, work hard.”

Cale gave the order with a gentle voice while Eruhaben let out a fake cough and stepped backward. Pendrick continued to watch blankly before taking the robe from Cale.

One hour later, a priest that Cale brought with him started to let out a holy white light from underneath the southern castle wall.

The Battle of Castle Leona.

The thing that came at the end of that battle was yet another battle.

“Aigoo, my back. I guess it’s time for me to quit being a soldier.”

“You’ve done it for a long time if you've been a soldier for fifteen years. I thought you were going to take your pension and open a restaurant?”

“That’s the plan.”

The soldier who had been a soldier since he was 20 patted his back as he sat down on the pile of rocks.

A young soldier next to him looked around Castle Leona before starting to speak.

“I finally understand what they mean when they say that behind a war is another war.”

Castle Leona and the shores in front of it.

Many people were currently moving around busy at work. They were working to restore the area to how it was prior to the battle.

The young soldier and the veteran were two of the people assigned to restore the castle wall.

“I thought we would get to rest and relax for a few days since the battle was over.”

The veteran snorted after hearing the young soldier’s comment.

“You little punk. We haven’t even purified all of the dead mana. At least they are feeding us well.”

“I guess that is true.”

The Caro Kingdom had been providing sumptuous feasts for the soldiers after achieving victory. They even provided a cup of alcohol the day of the victory.

The veteran started to speak to the young soldier who seemed to be disappointed that reality was different than what he had imagined.

“It is because his highness is a just person. We need to do this in order to defend against any future attacks and for us to be able to to return to our normal lives once the war is over.”

He pointed to the central tower with his chin as he continued to speak.

“Even the high-ranking people are not resting right now.”

He started to frown.

“There are also people who cannot move because they are injured. How can we rest and relax right now?”

“…The commander-nim is currently recovering, isn’t he?”

“Yes. That is what they said.”

The young soldier started to frown as well.
