Trash of the Count's Family

“Human, I have no idea what you and Choi Han are talking about right now!”

Raon squished his cheeks with his front paws as he shouted. That made Choi Han have an ‘oops’ expression as he looked toward Raon, but Raon had already put his paws back down and stretched out his wings as he energetically continued.

“But I’ll listen for now! I’ll ask questions later!”

“Sure, sure.”

Cale just nonchalantly nodded his head.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

However, Cale’s heart was beating wildly.

‘…It’s not like I can lie!’

Cale knew that his only choice was to tell the truth now that things were like this, but there was no way that it would be easy to tell something he had been keeping a secret from them for a little over 2 years to the person involved.

It was even worse because he had no experience speaking gently or tenderly in his 36 years of life.

“I trust that you will respond truthfully to my questions.”

Why did Choi Han who was calmly asking this question with an innocent smile look so scary?

It looked as if he was saying, ‘you know what would happen if you lie, right?’

“Of course. Ask away.”

What ended up coming out of Cale’s mouth was a snarky and confident tone. As Cale was about to frown after hearing his own voice…

“When did you come here?”

The questioning had started.

“One day before I met you.”

Cale replied almost automatically.

“You didn’t know that I was Choi Jung Soo’s paternal cousin once removed, did you?”

“Of course not! You think I would have acted so rudely if I knew?”

“Human, you are always rude! Weak human, I like you no matter what, but you really are quite rude!”

‘This kid…’

Cale who couldn’t get angry at Raon could only frown after hearing Raon's cheery voice. However, he then seriously responded to Choi Han’s question.

“I really did not know that you were Choi Jung Soo’s paternal cousin once removed.”

Yes, of course he didn’t. Of course, he knew about Choi Han because he had read, ‘The Birth of a Hero,’ but should he share this piece of information Choi Han wouldn’t know about even after seeing Choi Jung Soo's memories?

Cale started to debate this in his head, however, Choi Han didn't give him time to keep thinking about it.

“Nelan Barrow, you should have been able to read Choi Jung Gun's book as well.”

“Of course.”

“But you pretended as if you couldn’t read it in front of me?”

Choi Han’s tone oddly became more relaxed, but Cale didn't realize this as he nodded his head.

“Yes. I pretended not to know. My acting skills are top-notch, unlike yours.”

“You must have been very shocked.”

“Of course.”

“I was shocked as well.”

Cale looked toward Choi Han. Choi Han's face had stiffened up as he said that he had been shocked.

Cale’s face stiffened up as well as he looked at Choi Han.

Choi Han was only asking easy questions. He seemed to understand the reason why.

“Choi Han, are you not asking about me because you saw Choi Jung Soo’s memories?”

Choi Han should know as much about Kim Rok Soo as Choi Jung Soo did after seeing his memories. Choi Jung Soo and Lee Soo Hyuk were people who know almost as much about Kim Rok Soo’s life as he knew himself. This included his past.

Kim Rok Soo's life would seem like a tragedy from a distance. He lost his parents when he was young and once he became an adult and tried to do something with his life, the world flipped over and made him live a risky life every day.

He had then once again lost people who were like his family.

‘I survived no matter what.’

Survival. That was the best word to describe Kim Rok Soo’s life.

He always survived no matter who ended up dying.
