Trash of the Count's Family

“By the way, who are the two people that the Cat children were following?”

The Mercenary King sat down at a table at the center of the room.

“Ahem.”

“Aigoo, there’s some urgent business to take care of in the kitchen!”

The bandit-turned-employees moved far away from the table.

“All of you can head out.”

Ron motioned for them to leave, and the employees quickly ran out.

Cale then started to speak.

“Dragons.”

“…Hmm?”

Bud, who had been looking around at the empty hall, looked completely confused. He put his finger in his ear to clear it when Cale said it once more.

“Dragons.”

“…Ah. They’re Dragons.”

Nod nod.

Bud just decided not to think about Cale’s group anymore.

But he still couldn’t accept it!

‘Dragons?! Two of them?! No wait, he already had multiple Dragons with him!’

Bud started to frown.

The door to the rear garden opened, and an employee came in and started to speak to Ron.

“Manager-nim, shall we bring some tea-”

Bud thought about the word, ‘Dragons,’ and commented.

“Are you trying to take down a kingdom on the Eastern continent to set an example or something?”

Clunk.

The bandit-turned-employee’s hand that was holding the doorknob was shaking.

‘What did I just hear? Destroy a kingdom?’

The employee immediately moved after seeing Ron’s benign smile.

Screeeech-

The door was quietly closed.

Cale frowned after hearing Bud’s comment.

“Why would I destroy a kingdom?”

“Well, the team you brought is strong enough to do that. They could probably destroy this Leeb-An City in like five minutes.”

“Cut the crap. Just hand over the information you brought.”

“Ah, okay!”

Bud took a document out of his pocket and handed it to Cale.

“The stone mountain where the Cats live is in the Sez Kingdom.”

The Cat tribe was going to be where Cale started his plan to take down the White Star’s allies.

This starting point to the final battle would be at the stone mountain in the Sez Kingdom.

“…Mount Nex in the Sez Kingdom.”

Bud responded to Cale’s mumbling.

“It’s a kingdom right next to the Castle of Light.”

It was by the Castle of Light, one of the Three Restricted Areas of the Eastern continent, the white desert where Lord Sheritt’s White Castle had once been located.

That castle was now Raon’s and moved to the Forest of Darkness as a black castle.

Cale read through the information in the document.

< The Sez Kingdom is currently allied with the Endable Kingdom and is one of the strongest kingdoms on the Eastern continent. >

< It is famous for being a kingdom of knights, and the current king Bakehe is famous for being a sword master. >

Bud continued his explanation.

“Mount Nex is located in the northern part of the Sez Kingdom. It is an area with a stone mountain at the center and the residents rarely go toward it because the terrain is difficult to traverse.”

Cale recalled a conversation he had with Duke Fredo.

‘It is the place where a few different Cat tribes live together with the Fog Cat Tribe in charge. There is a large stone mountain at the center of their territory. It is kind of like a citadel. The Cats that are talented in fog and assassination are protecting the place.’

‘That stone mountain is where the captives are?’

‘Yes.’

Bud added on.
