Trash of the Count's Family

“Young master Cale.”

Cale smiled toward Rosalyn who was calling for him with a calm voice.

The Flame Dwarf tribe and the Bear tribe.

They now had a way to choke them out.

Cale made eye contact with Rosalyn while thinking that she would have the same type of excited reaction. That was why he was waiting for her to continue speaking.

“Looks like you were the one to strike people in the back.”

“…Excuse me?”

“You hit us hard on our backs.”

Rosalyn’s calm but chilly gaze made Cale flinch as he reached his hand out to rub the top of his back. However, he could not reach his back because Raon was currently hanging on him.

The invisible Raon's voice echoed in the area.

“You’re right little Rosalyn! The weak human smashed us in the back!”

“Right, Raon-nim? I’m very happy to see you healthy and grown, Raon-nim.”

“I’m happy to see all of you as well!”

Rosalyn’s expression that had turned into a gentle smile at Raon's voice turned cold again as she looked back toward Cale. Cale slowly tried to avoid her gaze.

However, doing that made him see Choi Han, who was standing there with his mouth shut, as well as the tall but feeble Wolf boy Lock who was fidgeting with a tearful expression.

‘Tsk.’

Cale realized that Lock saw him in pain through the video communication device.

‘He saw something a child shouldn’t see.’

He looked back toward Rosalyn and casually started to speak.

“I am okay now.”

‘Liar.’

Rosalyn felt those words wanting to come out of her mouth, but chose to remain silent.

It was what they had chosen after chatting with Ron. It was because they knew Cale and knew about the approaching future that they decided to respond with their actions rather than their words.

Cale saw that they were quiet, so he quickly changed topics. Their looking like they were worried about him was embarrassing as he didn’t like how they had to worry about a full-grown adult like himself.

“But how were you able to take care of things so quickly?”

Cale waved the documents Choi Han handed him as he asked.

Rosalyn answered that question as if it wasn’t much.

“It was easy. We went to Norland and said that we should end it here if they don’t want to see the Paerun Kingdom and Roan Kingdom invade them together.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. We even threw them a carrot as we discussed. We offered to use the sea route in order to conduct some food trade. Their expressions changed once I said that.”

Cale nodded his head.

They had not gone to just destroy palaces.

You always have to give the carrot with the stick.

The biggest reason that the northern kingdoms wanted to conquer unfrozen lands was because of food. However, it was difficult to conduct trades because of the Forest of Darkness and the Gorge of Death.

that was why the Roan Kingdom offered to trade them food via the sea route. Of course, it would not be between private merchant guilds, but on the national level.

Norland had already realized that it was impossible to aim for the Roan Kingdom, and they were slowly reaching the point where they would need to worry about their food supply. That was why this offer would have been enticing for them.

Rosalyn continued to speak.

“Once the deal with Norland was made, it was only natural that Askosan would soon follow. We threatened them by asking if they felt as if they could handle the Bear tribe, the Flame Dwarf Tribe, and Arm on their own when both of the other two kingdoms had already stepped out of the Indomitable Alliance.”

“You did a wonderful job.”

“It was nothing.”

Cale thought that he was right to leave it to Rosalyn as he did a quick scan through the documents. Just skimming through it was enough to tell him that they were well-made.

Cale looked at the group with a satisfied expression and the others smiled back as well.

Everybody except one person that is.

The Killer Whale Archie looked at the three people smiling at Cale with a gaze that seemed to be saying that he was tired of them.

Rosalyn, Choi Han, and Lock.

The Killer Whale Archie who had seen what the three of them did with his own eyes was sure about one thing.

‘They are even worse than me.’

Furthermore, Choi Han and Lock were worse than how he was during his recklessly violent days.

Archie watched as Lock entered his berserk state and followed behind him in order to destroy the palace roofs with his bare hands, thinking that Lock was reaching those same recklessly violent days as well.

‘Forget the carrot and the stick. Bullshit, she didn't give them a carrot at all!’

The original plan was to destroy one palace, however, they had destroyed two palaces and a couple of gardens as well.

So how could Norland and Askosan not be afraid?

Archie started to shiver while thinking about how Rosalyn had gently smiled in front of the Askosan king.

‘Your majesty, do you think that Askosan will be safe if the Breck Kingdom and the Roan Kingdom allied together in order to cross the border? Please think hard about it.’

Her smile had been gentle but cold.

‘Make the wrong move and the enemy will have their blades at your neck like right now, your majesty.’

But it was already that exact situation.

It was amazing to see her threaten the king little by little. Archie had subconsciously asked after seeing her method.

‘Miss Rosalyn, is it really okay to threaten them like this?’

‘Mr. Archie, we came to cut off the enemy's oxygen and to make them surrender. We need to push them into a corner.’

‘Don’t they say that a cornered rat will even bite a cat?’

Rosalyn and Choi Han had looked at Lock before asking Archie a question back.

‘Mr. Archie, do we seem like mere cats? I’d say we are tigers at the least.’

Archie was at a loss for words after hearing that response.

It was because what she said was true.

Archie touched the back of his neck that suddenly became chilly and tried to remove that conversation from his mind. However, he happened to see Choi Han at that moment.

Choi Han had been quiet ever since their conversation with Ron. He didn’t seem to be angry, nor did he show extreme amounts of concern as Lock had done. He did not move around with a sense of urgency like Rosalyn either.
