Trash of the Count's Family

Naturally, the king could not hold back his anger and his body started to shake.

“Y, you dare to speak that way to me-!”

However, all the king could do was stare at Toonka.

Part of it was because he himself was weak, while the other part was because he could not tell the knights to attack Toonka.

The Whipper Kingdom was in an odd state right now.

The king only had the title of, ‘king,’ while the government and all administration fell to the military.

Toonka was the center of the citizens and soldiers of that military. That was why even the knights guarding the king did not dare to act rash toward Toonka.

They were people who joined the royal faction to save their own lives and maintain their benefits, so although they held their swords up out of loyalty, they did not dare to actually attack Toonka.

“…You!”

The king was aware of that as well.

As a result, he could only glare at Toonka in anger. Toonka observed the king with even more anger in his eyes.

He then resumed speaking.

“I.”

Toonka knew himself quite well.

“I don't have anyone above nor below me.”

That was why he could lead the way no matter where he was.

“And killing strong people is my hobby.”

He had stood in the vanguard and killed the ones that smelled the strongest. Of course, there were times that he had lost to those strong individuals, however, the enemies all eventually ended up avoiding him.

Whether that was because they were scared or because they found him to be dirty, but either way, they avoided him.

That was the important part.

Toonka looked down at the king who was willing to surrender in order to save his own life. The king felt as if he had become prey. He too had avoided Toonka in the past.

He had given the excuse that he avoided Toonka because he was stupidly strong and wild, however, the truth was that he had avoided Toonka out of fear.

The king’s gaze slightly missed Toonka and headed downward.

Toonka’s voice could still be heard in his ears.

“Only think about how we will achieve victory if you wish to live.”

‘If you wish to live.’

The king gulped at that statement.

Both anger and fear were making his body shake. One of the royal faction’s knights started to speak at that moment.

He had the title of being the captain of the guard knights.

“Your majesty, what do you think about moving elsewhere if you have finished delivering your message?”

The Knight Captain flinched after seeing Toonka’s gaze turn toward him.

He was not someone who had become the Knight Captain because of his strength.

For a kingdom like the Whipper Kingdom where magic was abnormally developed in the past, the knights were weaker in exchange. The mages had obstructed the growth of strong knights because they wanted to maintain their dominance, and thanks to that, the, ‘knights,’ of the Whipper Kingdom were likely to be people who gained opportunities with political influence or had a talent in sucking up rather than strong individuals.

“Ahem, commander, why don't you complete your tasks in peace as well?”

Toonka stared at the Knight Captain and the king before turning around. He then walked toward Chief Harol's side.

Anybody could tell that he was ignoring the Knight Captain and the king.

“You damn-”

“Your majesty.”

However, the Knight Captain consoled the king from getting angry. The Knight Captain motioned with his gaze to tell the king that they should leave, while the king took a deep breath before walking away from Toonka and toward the door.

However, the king's gaze was still on the correspondence from the Empire that was in Harol's hand. He could respond to the Empire if he took that away, however, all important documents were in Toonka’s hands.

“You stupid bastards! You can’t even see that I was giving you a way to live!”

In the end, the king shouted in anger before heading out of the strategy room.

“Mm.”

Cale let out a groan as he looked toward the king and the knights who left without even paying any attention to him. There was a simple reason for it. Human! For some reason, I don't like that punk of a king!

It was because his mind was quite loud from Raon's mumblings. 100,000 people are enough to win against the Empire if he goes to war with them! But 100,000 people for 80 years?! That king doesn’t even know how to do basic math! As expected, he is not as smart as the great and mighty me!

‘He’s so loud.’

Raon seemed to be not fond of this king at all.

On the other hand, Cale was just thinking that there were always guys like these no matter where you went.

‘It’s just the way the world works.’

Even in Korea, no, even on Earth there were people who did worse things than this king for their own survival when the world descended into chaos once.

Furthermore, was it only the people in power that did that?

Not at all. In fact, the majority of the people were like that at first.

It was right after Cale, no, Kim Rok Soo had taken his college entrance exams and was working part-time at a restaurant. The violent upheaval had happened without warning.

People ignored each other in order to survive.

However, the world came together to support each other and return balance to the world quicker than expected.

It was because there were people who were willing to help each other survive rather than step on each other.

Someone had said that the world would turn to hell if the apocalypse was here.

However, all people hated hell. That was why they flailed around however they could to avoid hell and realized something in the process.

It was difficult to do it alone.

They needed each other.

That was what brought the people of the world back together in order to get back to a world that was bearable.

Cale's gaze headed back to Toonka and Harol.

He had decided after seeing the Whipper Kingdom’s king that the best thing to do was ignore trash like that. However, it wasn’t that Cale agreed with the king.

Cale, just as when he had been Kim Rok Soo, was someone who wanted to turn this world into a decently livable place. You would still be lonely, even if you were happy alone in hell.

‘Yes, a relaxed slacker showing off his money is the greatest way to live.’

Cale looked toward Harol and Toonka with a different gaze after thinking about that.

There was the simply stupid Toonka.

Then there was Harol, the one with a weird vibe about him whom Cale thought was even crazier than Clopeh.

These two bastards had bloodshot eyes from trying to maintain this, ‘world,’ of theirs in the Whipper Kingdom. That fact felt new but oddly familiar at the same time.
