Trash of the Count's Family

“Then I’m going to hurry over to my mom! I must hurry!”

Dodori seemed to be in a rush as he ran toward the terrace.

– …Human! Are you scamming the pink Dragon? Are you going to smack him from behind? Why else would you be smiling like that? Grandpa Ron told me to let him know if you do anything weird! This is a difficult decision!

Cale still had a gentle smile on his face as he warmly continued to speak.

“Dodori-nim, there’s no need to be in such a rush.”

“No, no! My mom might not open the door to the farm for me! I stole a box of fruit from the orchard to pay for stuff when I ran away from home! Hahahaha!”

‘Hmm? A farm? An orchard?’

– Human! He said a farm! It’s a Dragon that runs an orchard! I can’t believe there’s a Dragon that grows food! What a truly magnificent Dragon!

Cale turned to the side after oddly feeling a heated gaze from next to him.

He could see Choi Han standing there.

Choi Han had his usual innocent looking face but his eyes were burning up. Cale thought about Choi Jung Soo and Lee Soo Hyuk’s little hope for him.

Choi Han was looking at Dodori with a somewhat sad gaze. Cale suddenly got the chills. He felt as if he should quickly send Dodori on his way.

“Dodori-nim, please have a safe trip!”

Dodori was now standing on the terrace railing. He smiled brightly and waved toward the two humans and one young Dragon who were there to say goodbye.

“Bye! I’ll make sure not to die from my mom’s beating and come back alive!”

Paaaaat!

Dodori left those scary words behind as he disappeared.

Raon flew back inside and made a short comment about the meeting they just had.

“Human! The pink Dragon seems about fifty percent similar to the crazy Clopeh! I really want to go visit the farm and orchard!”

“I truly wish to go visit it as well.”

Cale brushed aside Choi Han’s determined comment. He was quite happy right now.

The crown prince had been stealthily searching for Dragons for a while with the help of the Dark Elves and Elves. Eruhaben and Sheritt were helping him as well, but they had had no results until now.

‘It’s impossible to find all of the Dragons.’

Now that the White Star might attack Puzzle City or somewhere else in the near future, it was better to gather the forces they had right now.

That was why Cale was focusing on other issues over finding the Dragons.

‘But a Dragon walked in on his own! And there are two of them!’

He started to think about Dodori’s mom.

‘Eruhaben-nim is the most ancient Dragon. The fact that she could call Eruhaben-nim an arrogant Dragon must mean that she is younger than Eruhaben-nim but still about the same age.’

He had no idea as to how strong she would be.

The smile on Cale’s face only continued to grow bigger.

– Human! Your smile looks fishy!

That was why he ignored Raon’s comment and prepared to sleep.

“Then I will see you tomorrow, Cale-nim. Please don’t forget about the orchard.”

Choi Han left as well and Cale laid down on his bed. He could only curl up on the side because Raon had already taken the center of the bed.

“Heh.”

Cale could not help but laugh.

Deruth had a lot of strong individuals gathered here by using his money. There were also two Dragons.

He didn’t do much to gather all of these extra pieces, but Cale was very happy about the increase in their forces.

“Heh.”

He continued to chuckle as he fell asleep.

He had not slept so well in a long time.

The next day.

10 am. It was still pretty warm for being in the middle of November.

“…What is that?”

Cale had woken up from his first good sleep in a long time and was now sitting on the couch looking outside.

He could see outside the high fence of the house because his bedroom was on the third floor.

“…Why are people gathered there throwing flower petals and shiny powder?”

They were in the capital, but this was the noble district so it was generally quiet.

Most of the houses here were generally empty because they all stayed within their own territories unless they worked in the capital.

This area was usually much quieter compared to the market or plaza where all residents traversed on a daily basis.

“It’s supposed to be a quiet place……”

That’s how it had always been.

However, the area in front of the Henituse Estate and the nearby area felt as if it was the middle of a festival.

There were close to two or three hundred people out there.

“Human! Can I go see what’s going on?”

“Sure.”

“Alright! I’ll be back in 30 minutes! We need to go to the palace together to eat!”

Raon turned invisible and quickly flew out while Choi Han brought him a cup of tea.
