Trash of the Count's Family

Cale lifted his index finger and pointed at himself.

“Me…”

He then pointed toward the black bird.

“… And you are friends?”

The black bird’s eyes curled up.

Shaaaaaaaaaaaa-

Cale flinched after seeing a black aura filling the room.

Crackle!

The black bird suddenly cracked into pieces. Once those pieces disappeared…

Plop.

Duke Fredo in his child’s form gently stepped down on the ground. He then looked up at Cale and started to speak.

“Of course we are friends. Actually, it'd be fine to call us brothers too.”

Smile.

The boy started to smile. For being a child’s smile, there was a sense of cruelty visible in it. His innocent voice filled the room.

“Yes, brothers might be a better expression. Doesn't brothers sound good since we are people who will share blood?”

‘This crazy bastard!’

Step.

Cale took a step toward Duke Fredo.

Clang!

“Mm!”

Cale then took a step back in shock. Cale looked toward the sparkling silver item.

Drip.

Red blood dripped down the sword touching Duke Fredo's skin. The silver light Cale had seen was the blade of a sword.

He looked at the sword touching Duke Fredo’s neck. He then slowly moved his gaze to the owner of the sword.

‘… So vicious!’

There were no emotions visible on Choi Han’s face as he held the sword against Duke Fredo's neck.

“I'm sorry, but I'm not in a good mood right now. It’d be best to stop with the nonsense.”

Choi Han’s voice sounded calm but firm.

‘But his tone is still innocent!’

Cale thought that it was the same innocent Choi Han, but he could tell that Choi Han was seriously angry.

‘… This is nice. ’

Cale found it nice to see Choi Han baring his fangs at someone he found to be annoying instead of him. Cale was thinking that Choi Han was very good at dealing with crazy people like Clopeh and now this guy.

“That’s right! Hey, Vampire! Our human's blood is not tasty! Don’t drink it!”

Even Raon revealed himself at that moment and viciously glared at Duke Fredo. Cale smiled with satisfaction while walking toward these two black beings.

A wise decision, Cale. You will faint for a long time if you use an ancient power one more time in your current state. That’s why you should stick next to strong individuals like them until you get to rest a day or two.

The Super Rock praised Cale as if he was satisfied with Cale's decision.

Cale, very sly of you to take advantage of the people around you.

Cale ignored the Super Rock's comments and sat down on the chair next to Choi Han.

He then started to speak toward Duke Fredo.

“Why did you suddenly come looking for me like this?”

“I'd appreciate it if you'd move this sword away first.”

Cale looked toward Choi Han after hearing Fredo's comment and Choi Han finally withdrew his sword and stood next to Cale.

Duke Fredo walked over and sat down on the chair opposite Cale.

“Tsk, you all must not know how valuable blood is.”

Swipe.

He touched his neck. It was a light injury so the blood had already stopped.

‘… He definitely is amazing. ’

Fredo made sure to remember that Choi Han's sword draw was so quick that even he had missed it before starting to speak again. He had been the one to request this chat after all.

“Currently, I am in seclusion in my grand residence at the Endable Kingdom's capital as I am unconscious.”

Cale had assumed this based on what he had heard. He remained silent as he wanted to hear more details and Fredo continued to speak.

“It was to trick the nobles who were on the northern snowy mountain and the members of the Endable Kingdom.”

Fredo continued to speak. In order to avoid being called a Duke who did not do anything in the battle at the northern snowy mountains, he faked a battle against Cale before they reached the snowy region.

“Disguises are our specialty.”

Vampires needed to live in hiding even more than Dark Elves. The fact that they needed blood from living beings every so often required them to live such lives. That was why they were talented in camouflage and disguise. This was how Fredo was able to make it look as if he was in critical condition.

“Of course, it was not simply to dodge negative attention from the nobles. I did it to also avoid the White Star's suspicion. That bastard trusts me more than you would expect.”

Cale nodded his head.

‘The White Star said that this bastard was loyal. ’

It was at that moment.

“Haaaaa.”

Duke Fredo let out a deep sigh. Cale turned toward him.

“I was planning on feigning unconsciousness for a little longer before continuing my act as the White Star’s loyal noble.”

“… Won't the White Star rush back to the Endable Kingdom to see his loyal subordinate?”

Was it okay for Fredo to be relaxing like this here?

Cale asked the question and Fredo nonchalantly responded.

“Yes, I'm sure he went to see me. But the White Star won’t be able to see me right away. My household's Vampire healers are not allowing anyone to enter as they are focused on treating me.”

“But it’s not like the treatment will continue for days. Shouldn’t you hurry back to show yourself to the White Star?”

The White Star would become suspicious and wonder if Duke Fredo was really in critical condition if he didn’t show himself for multiple days while claiming to be in treatment. There was no way a loyal subordinate would continue to reject his liege who came to visit him because he was injured.

“Correct. I need to hurry back, but I ended up learning about the White Star’s crazy plan.”

‘What? Crazy plan?’

Cale recalled how Duke Fredo had said that the situation had changed.

“… I mean that the situation has changed.”

Duke Fredo said that one more time. Cale could see that Duke Fredo looked serious.
