Trash of the Count's Family

Chapter 233: Something Obvious (2)

The battle at the Gorge of Death would take place in two days.

Cale had to busy himself in the remaining time.

“…Ha.”

Well, at least he was supposed to.

Cale brushed his face with both of his hands.

“…Choi Han, what is this estimate sheet for?”

Cale was waving a piece of paper in his hand.

Flap, flap.

The paper that was fluttering in Cale's hand had a lot of numbers written on it.

A piece of the palace had been broken and this was the breakdown of the costs of the repair.

“……”

Choi Han silently lowered his head.

Cale sighed and picked up another piece of paper. That paper fluttered in the air as well. He was looking at Mary this time.

“Why did three nobles suddenly fall ill?”

An innocent and mechanical voice responded back.

“I am not sure. They were curious about my powers, so I showed them a bit of it.”

Mary recalled the small gathering that had happened after the parade. It was only a small celebration as the war was not over yet, however, it looked as if the world was sparkling in Mary’s eyes.

It was an extremely shocking experience for Mary, so Tasha had helped the overwhelmed Mary head out to the terrace to rest.

Three nobles had appeared at the terrace at that time and spoken to her in a friendly way, asking about her powers. She thought that they were trying to get close to her and showed them a bit of her power.

“But they suddenly said that I should throw young master Cale-nim away and join up with them. They said that we could then take you down and take power for ourselves.”

“Hehehe.”

Cale turned his head after hearing suppressed laughter coming from behind him. Crown prince Alberu had his head down on his desk with his shoulders moving up and down.

It was obvious that he was struggling to keep himself from laughing.

Cale’s lips started to twist.

“And?”

The black robe started to speak in a serious manner. She had become wary of the three nobles at that moment.

“So then am I the, ‘enemy?’ That was what I asked them. They responded back with, ‘you can be the enemy, or you can come and join us from here on.’”

The three nobles were people from the central faction.

They were trying to pull Mary toward their faction, however, Mary heard the nobles’ conversation about power differently.

“I wondered if they were from Arm as they were talking about taking you down, young master-nim. I thought they were either from Arm or the Indomitable Alliance. However, I just remained quiet as you told me not to fight. But then they just suddenly fainted.”

Mary recalled how the three people had suddenly started to faint.

“They were weird people.”

Mary could not understand the courage that those weak people had to say that she could be their enemy.

“Haaaaa.”

Cale let out a deep sigh. He could still hear Alberu’s snickering, but he ignored it as he looked toward Choi Han.

Choi Han’s situation was a typical cliché.

“One of the nobles' sons threw a glove at you?”

Choi Han lowered his head once more. Someone else responded in his stead.

“Yes sir! Young master-nim!’

It was Vice Captain Hilsman.

“During the celebration, Marquis Ailan's successor suddenly questioned whether Choi Han was really a sword master and threw a glove at him in order to issue a challenge.”

Cale had a blank expression on his face.

Fantasy worlds always had the spoiled young masters who challenge the main character or other strong characters.

Marquis Ailan.

The Ailan household was known as the strongest martial artist household in the southeast region and the entire Roan Kingdom.

“And? I’m sure Choi Han would normally have ignored such a thing.”

“Of course! We remembered your orders and ignored him. However, that noble’s son then started to talk crap about the Henituse household.”

“…What did he say?”

“He said that, for being a martial arts household, the Henituse household is extremely weak. All they do is use money in order to have strong subordinates to protect them.”

‘Well, they’re not wrong.’

Cale didn’t really take it as talking crap. Although the members of the Henituse household knew how to handle the sword, there were no extremely strong individuals. Lily does show great potential, however, it was still only potential for now.

Furthermore, the person had said that they were rich and had strong subordinates.

Isn’t that even better?

It didn’t annoy him at all. However, contrary to his expectations, Hilsman still seemed to be angry as he was huffing and puffing.

“That was why Choi Han accepted the challenge! He ended up destroying the palace’s training ground in the process. But it is not his fault that that young master was so weak!”

Pwahahaha.
