Trash of the Count's Family

Cale observed the Dragon half-blood's shaking eyes with a stoic expression.

‘I have no reason.’

He had no reason to sympathize with the Dragon half-blood’s emotions. Who didn't have stories in their lives? Cale had not forgotten the crazed anger in the Dragon half-blood's eyes as he aimed for Raon who was unconscious as he was going through his first growth phase.

Forget.

That was a word that Kim Rok Soo did not use many times in his life. However, it was a word that the Dragon half-blood was familiar with.

His shaking mouth slowly opened to speak.

“My memories are not complete.”

The Dragon half-blood recalled his first memory.

It was the memory of a dark cave. Of course, his eyes quickly became accustomed to the darkness as he did not have regular human eyes.

“My first memory is about a dark cave.”

The Dragon half-blood clenched his shaking hands together.

Inside that darkness where he couldn’t even see himself…

“I was in pain at the time.”

It was different than the severe pain he felt right now, but he had continuously felt pain back then.

“It was because I was in the process of becoming a chimera.”

A Dragon was being mixed into a human's body. The Dragon half-blood's body was being restructured at that time.

“I was turning into a monster that was neither a human nor a Dragon.”

He didn't remember how painful it had been. Through that pain, the Dragon half-blood had only waited for the man in the white mask who visited him the most.

The torch that the man brought with him had been his only source of light. It was also his only source of heat.

“The White Star would come and quietly look at me for a while before leaving. Now that I think about it, he probably came to observe me. He wanted to see if the creature that he had created was growing properly.”

The Dragon half-blood had not known who the man in the white mask was back then.

He was in so much pain that he didn't have time to wonder about the man’s identity nor even his own identity. He was very young at the time. The pain alone was enough to fill the child’s mind.

“One day, a terrible pain filled my body.”

That was the last step.

That was the last step for him to turn into a complete chimera.

“I recalled something as I suffered through that pain.”

The Dragon half-blood opened and closed his mouth a few times before continuing to speak.

“That memory was not a memory I had as a Dragon half-blood, but one of my memories as a human.”

It was not his first memory as the Dragon half-blood.

It was a memory from when he was still human.

“It was just a single memory.”

He had recalled a specific incident.

“…I had coincidentally run into the White Star nine hundred years ago. I presume it was during his second or third reincarnation.”

Cale who was quietly listening twitched his eyebrow.

‘If it is as the Dragon half-blood described, then it was his life that was right after his life as the last Dragon Slayer or the life after that.’

Based on the time frame, it needed to be around there for the Dragon half-blood who has lived for 900 years to have met the White Star who has reincarnated for 1,000 years.

Cale had his hands interlocked as he looked toward the Dragon half-blood. The Dragon half-blood continued to speak while still holding his shaking hands together.

“At that time, the White Star visited my, no, the village that I lived in as a human. He gave a lot of food to the children and played with us.”

The Dragon half-blood's eyes lowered.

“However, he was probably looking for children like me who had the body he needed to create monsters like me. Experiments that won't die even if he channeled a Dragon's power into us.”

The Dragon half-blood bit down on his lips.

“And the village that the human me lived in was very poor. It was a slum outside the city. He gave me a lot of food and told me a lot of exciting stories at that time.”

His heart was roaring as he continued to recall these memories.

"And then…”

The Dragon half-blood's mouth stopped shaking.

A dull voice came out of his mouth.

“And then, my real parents sold me off to the White Star.”

He could still remember how his parents had pushed him toward the White Star after receiving a gold coin from him with two hands.

The final stage before he became a complete chimera…

The only memory that popped up during that terrible pain was the memory of that incident.

How terrible must that have been…

How terrible must that have been that he only remembered that incident?

Friends from when he was young? Faces of his siblings?

He didn’t remember any of that. That incident was the only memory he had during his life as a human.
