Trash of the Count's Family

Cale had no time to focus on the chills on his back.Human! It's a carriage!

Cale's pupils started to shake.

“Young master-nim! Please get on!”

A knight and a group of warriors came over with a carriage.

It was a carriage with the Henituse family crest, but…

‘…It’s too fancy.’

It was an extremely, no, extravagantly fancy carriage.

Why was a carriage like this by the city walls?

Cale subconsciously looked toward the knight who answered as if it was nothing.

“Lord Deruth had this carriage built for when he was to go to the capital, however, Lady Violan insisted on building a carriage that showed the Duchy’s wealth off even more so this carriage was left by the city walls as a spare.”

That meant that they had created an even more extravagant carriage than this already too luxurious carriage. That carriage was currently at the capital with Duke Deruth.

Cale started to speak.

“…Anybody who takes a look at this carriage would say that Lord Deruth is extremely wealthy.”

“Hahahaha! Isn’t that the truth, young master-nim? We are an extremely wealthy territory and the family has been saving money for multiple generations!”

The knight responded as if it was normal.

He then opened the door of the carriage.

“I will escort you right away! Please get on, young master-nim!”

Blink blink.

Cale blinked twice. He heard Choi Han’s voice at that moment.

Choi Han, Ron, Beacrox, and the children averaging nine-years-old were currently with Cale.

“Cale-nim. Over there-”

Choi Han stopped talking.

Cale looked toward where Choi Han was pointing.

Just a moment ago… There had been some soldiers who had entered the city not too long before Cale. They had turned around and were walking in formation toward Cale.

“Mm. Hilsman.”

“Young master-nim!”

Cale noticed that the knight leading the soldiers was Hilsman.

Vice Captain Hilsman had been with Cale when he first went to the capital and knew all about Cale and his friends.

“Young master-nim! Sob!”

Hilsman started to cry as soon as he saw Cale.

‘What the hell? Why is he like this?’

Cale anxiously took a step backward.

Hilsman didn't care as he got off his horse and ran over to him.

“Young master-nim! You look so terrible, shabby, no, I am so sad to see you looking like this! Sooooooooooob!”

Cale thought Hilsman looked extremely sad right now.

“I'm so glad that you returned safe and alive, young master-nim!”

He was holding back his tears now but Hilsman’s eyes were red as he clenched his fists and continued to speak in a shaking voice.

“I knew that you would even overcome a god’s test, young master-nim! You're always…. For our territory… for the kingdom… No, you're always on the move to protect both the Eastern and Western continent.”

Cale was at a loss for words.

Hilsman thought he could see the pain and suffering in Cale's eyes that were still stoic despite his pale complexion.

Of course, that was just his own thinking.

“I, Hilsman, know about it all even though I have not been able to be by your side! Young master-nim, I know how hard your days have been as you try to achieve your noble goal!”

‘…Is being a slacker a noble goal?’

Cale couldn't help but have that thought.

He then made up his mind.

‘Let’s tell him.’

He wanted to tell Hilsman that his goal was to be a slacker.

Maybe this atmosphere would change a bit if he said that.

But Hilsman didn't give him the chance to do that.

“I!”

Hilsman pounded on his armor.

“No, our soldiers!”

He then extended his arms and pointed behind him. There were numerous soldiers standing in formation with expressions full of admiration.

“No, the citizens of our territory! We will all escort you to the Duke’s Estate, young master-nim!”

"Wooooooooooo-!”

“Waaaaaaaaaaaah-!”

The soldiers shouted and the citizens cheered.

They all looked toward Cale and admired his unshakable dignified look on his face.

The truth was that Cale was so anxious that he had frozen in spot.

“Young master-nim.”

He felt chills once more after hearing Ron's low voice before slowly walking toward the carriage.

The others got on the carriage behind him.

“…Fuck-”

He covered his face with both hands.

“My goodness, you always get so shy, young master-nim. Hahahaha!”

Hilsman laughed out loud before closing the carriage door and got on his horse before escorting Cale's carriage with the soldiers.

Clunk. Clunk.

The ride was smooth as the carriage headed toward the Duke’s Estate.

The cheering outside only got louder.

Cale peeked out to see that there were some citizens throwing what looked like flower petals from baskets.

He had no idea where they got such things in November.Hehe! Everybody seems to be happy that you’re here, human! I'm happy too!

“Meeeeeeeeeeow! It feels like a festival, nya!”

“Meeeeeeeow. This is fun, nya!”

‘…Haaaaa.’
