Trash of the Count's Family

The Dragon half-blood looked toward Cale with shaking pupils.

“…You're giving me an opportunity……?”

Cale shook his head.

“No. It is not something I can choose on my own to give you.”

Cale walked away from the reception room and down the hallway. The Dragon half-blood followed behind him like a person who was bewitched by a ghost. Cale stopped walking once he got to one of the windows in the hallway.

He stared at the Forest of Darkness through the window as he started to speak.

“First of all, the opportunity I am speaking about might fail. We won’t know until we try.”

Opportunity.

The Dragon half-blood repeated that word in his head over and over.

The opportunity to start over.

However, it could fail and they would not know until they tried.

He heard Cale’s calm voice.

“I have no way to know whether it will succeed or if it will fail. Furthermore, this is not something I can do.”

Cale’s gaze turned toward the closed reception room door.

The two Dragons on the other side of the door.

Lord Sheritt who is tied to this castle and Raon Miru, the owner of this black castle.

This relied on the two Dragons’ decisions.

Cale did not say anything else. However, the Dragon half-blood realized what he meant after seeing Cale's gaze that was directed at the reception room door.

The people to give him a new opportunity were those two Dragons.

The Dragon half-blood emptied his mind again after realizing that fact.

He started to speak toward Cale.

“…Thank you.”

Cale started to frown.

“I told you it is not an opportunity I can give you.”

He then approached the Dragon half-blood.

“In addition, I believe I've mentioned multiple times that I don't like you. The things you have done are too clearly recorded in my mind.”

“…Thank you for even saying a word like, ‘opportunity.’ ”

Even if he would not be given that opportunity… The Dragon half-blood was thankful to Cale Henituse who had even used those words.

At that moment… If Cale had not given the Dragon half-blood the opportunity to choose to live longer or die when he fell to the ground at the battle of the Gorge of Death…

He would not have been able to experience something like this.

The Dragon half-blood recalled the moments he spent working at the Eastern continent’s inn.

It was painful working while experiencing serious pain throughout his body.

There were not many people who approached him either.

However, that was the place he was able to learn about how other people lived and what a vibrant city felt like.

The Dragon half-blood forgot about everything else and looked toward Cale with gratitude.

Cale started to frown even more.

He felt like he saw something he shouldn't have seen.

‘…How odd.’

He had said that the Dragon half-blood would definitely die and be imprisoned in a restricted area and unable to leave as he pleased.

Of course, unlike what Cale had told the Dragon half-blood, the conditions should be better than that for the Dragon half-blood if things progressed as Cale was thinking.

It was because someone in a similar situation seemed to be very happy.

But in some ways, what Cale had said was similar to what the White Star had done.

‘…What’s up with his gaze?’

However, the Dragon half-blood was looking at Cale with a gentle and sparkling gaze. It seemed like a mix of Vice-Captain Hilsman’s gaze as he shouted, ‘Young master-nim!’ and the Jungle's Litana's gaze as she shouted, ‘Young master Cale! You!’

‘I can’t get used to this change.’

It was unbearable seeing someone whom he had seen as twisted and wicked until now looking at him with such a gaze. Cale subconsciously shared his honest thoughts.

“Someone looking at us might think I would let you live an easy life. Don't get the wrong idea. You resting peacefully and not paying for your sins… I can't bear to see that. Got it?”

Cale was blunt as he felt annoyed and angry for some reason, and the Dragon half-blood nodded his head.

“Thank you for giving me such an opportunity. I don't want to live peacefully and have no plans to forget about the weight of my sins.”

‘…Ha.’

Cale felt like he couldn't get through to the Dragon half-blood.

‘It's not just a feeling. He does not understand anything I am trying to say.’
