Trash of the Count's Family

Chapter 545: Welcome, this is our house (3)

Cale started to speak.

“…Gold!”

There was gold everywhere he looked.

“Young master Naru, this is your first time here, isn’t it?”

There was a halo behind the gently smiling Deputy Chief Priest.

Realistically, it was the gold behind her that was shining.

On a wall where there had been nothing until just a moment ago other than maybe mold and spider webs suddenly had a glass box filled with gold bars.

“You can come this way if you want to look closer.”

The Deputy Chief Priest waved her hand with a warm smile on her face.

“Deputy Chief Priest-nim, are you sure you removed the illusion?”

The corners of her smiling lips twitched at Naru’s sharp gazes.

“You have quite a sharp gaze, but this is real. There's no need for me to keep up an illusion.”

She then observed the slowly approaching Naru with a sharp gaze that was hidden by her smile.

‘He really is similar to Duke Fredo.’

His thoroughness was exactly like his father.

‘No, maybe it is that they both have a lot of suspicions rather than that they are thorough that is similar?’

She started to speak to Naru who had come to her side.

“Ah, by the way, do you see the magic flowing around the glass box? You'll get hurt if you touch it. It’s set up so that anybody other than the authorized people who touch it will instantly be teleported.”

She could see that Naru who had stopped moving after hearing her statement finally start to speak after a while.

“…Deputy Chief Priest-nim.”

His voice was extremely low. Her gaze automatically headed for Naru’s eyes.

Flinch.

She subconsciously flinched.

‘…How could his gaze be so-’

How could it be so vicious?

She had been shocked by his vicious gaze.

‘No, it's shocking because it is Naru.’

To be more specific, she was shocked that this boy named Naru had such a gaze.

‘I guess the rumors are true that Naru caused a big issue this time.’

The Black Castle destruction plan.

The Endable Kingdom's chief executives had all heard about it by now.

The people at the center of that plan were Count Mock and young master Naru Von Ejellan.

‘Of course, I'm sure Duke Fredo was giving him orders from the back.’

The Deputy Chief Priest who knew that Duke Fredo was actually awake believed that Fredo was the mastermind behind all this.

‘He’s an amazing Vampire.’

Wasn’t he?

She was in awe of his ability and plan to draw in the Roan Kingdom and Cale Henituse and made her feel that she had grabbed onto the right rope for success.

‘…I can't fall behind to Gersey.’

Greed was visible in her eyes. That greed was so strong that the boy looking at her could feel it.

“Young master Naru, why are you not saying anything after calling me here?”

“…Deputy Chief Priest-nim.”

“Yes?”

“…I truly believe you are cool.”

‘Hmm?’

The Deputy Chief Priest suddenly became anxious.

‘Aigoo.’

Alberu who was watching from the back subconsciously clenched his eyes shut.

He instantly understood the meaning behind Cale's words.

‘His eyes have rolled over because of the gold.’

It made him wonder why such a rich punk would act like this.

Cale continued to speak at that moment.

“I truly respect you. How did you gain such wealth?”

“…Well, you know.”

The Deputy Chief Priest was anxious.

It could not be helped.

“…It’s shocking to hear that from you, young master Naru. The Ejellan Duchy's wealth is incomparable to my own.”

She was asking why someone who was the son of Duke Fredo who had much greater wealth than her was saying such a thing.

“Hooo.”

The Deputy Chief Priest noticed the boy's gaze becoming even more vicious at that moment.

However, that viciousness quickly disappeared.

“Haha, I'm sorry for showing you such a sight. I’ve never seen gold piled up like this before.”

Naru scratched the back of his head like an embarrassed boy as he responded.

‘Hmm? Did I see it wrong?’

The Deputy Chief Priest wondered if she had mistakenly seen the previous vicious gaze as Naru returned to his usual self. Cale and Alberu exchanged glances at that moment.

‘Hyung. You heard her, right?’

'Yes, I heard her.’
