Trash of the Count's Family

Cale headed back to a corner room on the third floor of the old inn. He left Ron outside the door and had Raon immediately connect the call.

“Human! Are we going to fight against that slightly crazy bastard today?”

“There’s no need.”

However, contrary to what he was saying, Cale’s expression did not look good.

He recalled the battle in the Caro Kingdom. He had suffered significantly because he had trusted Clopeh’s comments about how the Dragon half-blood was weak.

Just thinking about that made him want to forget about working with the Paerun Kingdom and instead just smashing them apart.

Crackle, crackle.

He watched as the screen floated above the video communication device and waited for Clopeh. He had made up his mind to give Clopeh a piece of his mind.

Cale-nim.

However, Cale became anxious once the call connected.

“…First of all, don’t clasp your hands like that.”

Clopeh appeared on the screen with his hands clasped as if he was praying toward Cale.

I had a feeling you would be uncomfortable with this, Cale-nim.

Clopeh Sekka lowered his hands as he sat there with a calm expression. In return, Cale’s expression turned extremely odd.

‘He looks fine, but he’s a total looney.”

Cale-nim, the reason I called-

“Hold on.”

Cale cut Clopeh off and asked.

“I’ve been curious about this for a while, but why do you keep calling me Cale-nim? Your position is higher than mine. Just call me young master like everyone else. People will think it is weird.”

It was fine for Choi Han to call him, ‘Cale-nim,’ since he had done so from the beginning, however, Clopeh Sekka could not call him that, especially thinking about how they would work together in the future.

Cale thought that Clopeh would understand the meaning behind his words.

I cannot do that. Cale-nim is not just a young master or a commander. Cale-nim is the g-

“Stop.”

Cale felt as if he should not hear what Clopeh would say next.

He didn’t want to hear that word that started with a, ‘g.’ Cale held back his sigh and continued to speak.

“Why have you been quiet all this time and just now giving me a call?”

Clopeh could see that Cale was looking at him with a cold gaze even though his voice was calm.

It had been much longer than one week since Cale had the Whale tribe strike the Paerun Kingdom’s northern patrol stations. Cale had given them one week, however, the Paerun Kingdom had not contacted him until now. Why did it take them so long to respond?

Clopeh smiled after seeing that Cale was still calm without any signs of anger nor uneasiness.

I could not come empty-handed.

Cale started to smile.

‘I knew this guy’s head worked well.’

“Yes, you can’t come empty-handed to make a deal.”

The Caro Kingdom’s battle.

The Paerun Kingdom had realized that they needed a new source for survival other than the Indomitable Alliance after seeing the results. They also knew that the Roan Kingdom was the one who would give them an alternative path for survival.

Screech.

Cale leaned back onto the old chair and motioned toward Clopeh with his chin.

He was telling Clopeh to show him what the Paerun Kingdom had brought after such a long time.

“I will decide after I see what you brought.”

Cale and the Roan Kingdom had the upper hand and could make up their mind afterward. Clopeh had to stop the corners of his lips from going up.

‘I knew I was right.’

The path to a legend.

Clopeh had felt chills throughout his body after hearing about the Caro Kingdom’s battle. Hearing about the appearance of the Dark Elves and how Cale’s shield had defended against the light arrow was electrifying.

He knew that Cale would have underestimated Arm’s mage after his unintentional misinformation.

Even then, Cale managed to defeat a formidable foe who suddenly appeared.

That was what a hero, no, what a legend should be able to do.

The white snake could see a path to survival in Cale. That was why he had done everything he could in order to prepare this for him.

The Indomitable Alliance is currently barely managing to hold on.

It was obvious.

They had been destroyed in both of the major battles.

But they cannot retreat just like this. Arm, which has somehow become the central figure of the alliance, is pushing for a final stand.

Arm’s final stand.

Cale could easily imagine where the location of this battle would be.

He thought about two different people.

Rosalyn, who had thrown away her position as a princess in order to focus on being a mage, and Lock, who would end up walking the path of the Wolf King.

He was thinking about the Breck Kingdom where the two of them currently were, as well as the Gorge of Death within the Breck Kingdom.
