Trash of the Count's Family

Cale was about to look at the diary when he heard a voice that made him turn his head.

“Human! What does that mean?”

Raon, who could not see the diary, puffed up his cheeks as if was upset about what he had just heard.

“Human, you are not someone who would be affected by that white thing!”

It was based on what Cale had just mumbled.

‘I must have been one of the souls that was impacted by the reincarnator, the White Star.’

Raon waved both paws around as if to object to that statement.

Pfft. Cale let out a quiet chuckle.

But he didn’t respond and just patted Raon’s head before turning back toward the diary.

Reincarnators.

Existences that maintain their memories while getting new bodies unlike regular souls that would get new memories and new bodies with each new life. The variables that would affect other souls.

‘It is highly likely that I was the soul that was affected by this reincarnation of the White Star.’

The current White Star’s face was similar to Kim Rok Soo’s face.

Cale organized his thoughts.

‘Kim Rok Soo was living in a different dimension after being affected by a reincarnator. If he switches places with a transmigrator and is brought to this world…’

The simple answer was that this was the cleanest and most efficient way to take care of things.

Of course, this was a decision made by a god who did not want to impact numerous souls.

Single-lifers and Immortals, the ‘exceptions.’

Reincarnators and transmigrators, the ‘variables.’

Finally, the mysterious existence of the Regressors.

“…Ha.”

Cale couldn’t help but laugh in disbelief.

However, what he read next in the diary made his thoughts move in a different direction.

< I, well, my family, has been researching ‘time and life’ for generations. >

Cale’s gaze headed back to the headstone.

< Drew Thames >

Cale’s biological mother was from Baron Thames’s family.

Cale recalled the information he managed to sneakily get out of Duke Deruth before coming to this grave.

‘Cale Henituse’s biological mother’s household is said to have perished.’

Drew Thames had been the only surviving descendant.

‘Duke Deruth fell in love with Drew Thames when they met at the academy and asked her to marry him.’

There were no nobles with the family name of Thames in the present Roan Kingdom.

It was because Drew Thames, the only living descendant, chose not to continue her household. With nobody left to continue the family, the name was naturally removed from the list of nobles and eventually disappeared from people’s memories.

It was just the maternal family of an extra in ‘The Birth of a Hero,’ and the book didn’t even mention that extra’s biological mother’s name or her family.

“That’s odd.”

Cale felt that it was odd no matter how many times he thought about it.

“…It looks like they had been doing research without anybody knowing about it.”

Based on what he knew so far, the Thames household didn’t seem to share the results of their research with anyone.

Drew Thames, the only living descendant, didn’t even mention the details of her perished family’s research with Duke Deruth.

‘The research was conducted in secret but it is extremely valuable.’

The White Star would most definitely use this information for evil if this diary ever fell into his hands.

The research falling into the wrong hands might have been the reason they kept it a secret, but the problem was that the family that had been keeping this secret was no longer around.

“The only living descendant, huh?”

That meant that there was absolutely nobody else in the world. It meant that they were all dead.

“…It gets weirder the more I think about it.”

Drew Thames. She had an ancient power that allowed her to see the annual rings of all living beings.

She was skilled enough that she could tell that her own son was born with the variable life of a transmigrator.

Someone like that didn’t know how the other descendants of her family died?

Most importantly, even if they were just a Barons family, one of the Roan Kingdom’s noble households had slowly disappeared without a trace. But that descendant’s spouse didn’t even know the reason?

Her spouse just said that that had been the case from the moment they met.

“Mm.”

Now that Cale decided to live the rest of his life as Cale Henituse… He thought that he should look into some things as they related to the original Cale Henituse.
