Trash of the Count's Family

Cale questioned it, but had no choice other than to ask the conclusion he came to in his mind.

“…I pass because of my looks?”

– My goodness!

The voice that sounded like a person in their mid to late teens shouted as if she didn’t know what to do.

– So cute! Look at how grumpy you look while asking if you pass because of your looks! You’re such a little cutie!

“…My goodness.”

Cale’s ‘my goodness’ as he sighed was for a very different reason than the Drew Thames of her teens. He heard the voices of the Super Rock and the other ancient powers in his mind.

– …Ho. I’ve never seen someone like this.

– She has a sharp eye.

– How amazing. She’s amazing in many ways. The first thing she noticed while looking at Cale Henituse was his face? Hohoho.

This was the first time that Cale had ever been told he was cute, whether in this world or during his life as Kim Rok Soo. He had never been called cute in his thirty-plus, almost forty years.

“Ha, haha-”

Cale couldn’t help but laugh in disbelief.

Someone came back to their senses after hearing him laugh.

Ron Molan. Ron had only been anxious about this sudden situation for a moment before walking over to Raon with a stiff expression on his face.

“Raon-nim.”

“Hmm? Good to see you again Grandpa Ron!”

Ron couldn’t put on his usual benign smile even at Raon’s bright greeting.

“Raon-nim, how did a tree end up growing here?”

The grave of Cale Henituse’s biological mother…

Ron had been thinking about a lot of things just from the fact that Cale came here. But a giant tree bursting through the grave and growing like this? The tree was beautiful, but Ron couldn’t get rid of the stiff expression on his face.

“Ha, haha-”

It was because Cale Henituse, the child of the owner of this grave that was now gone because of the tree, was laughing so emptily while being surrounded by these beautiful red leaves.

The laugh seemed somewhat full of disbelief but also as if there was nothing behind it. Ron slowly looked around.

Raon, Lily, and Hong were just watching the tree and Cale as if they were amazed. But everybody On and older were only shocked for a moment before they all looked at Cale with complicated expressions on their faces.

“Hmm?”

Ron’s gaze then landed on a punk.

“Mm, mmph! Mmph!”

This bastard’s face had turned into a mess after being pummeled by the buzz-cut Dragon Rasheel. Lion King Dorph’s eyes were wide open as he flailed while looking at the red tree. His face looked both astonished and shocked.

“Why is this son of a bitch whining like this without considering the situation?”

Rasheel raised his palm as if to say Dorph was being annoying.

Pow!

“Ugh!”

Rasheel smacked Dorph’s back extremely hard and Dorph’s head lowered while shaking intensely. Rasheel snorted before smirking.

“This is my first time seeing someone gain an ancient power. Truly fitting for a human this mighty Dragon has appro-, no, that’s not right. Hey! Is this okay?!”

Rasheel’s eyes opened wide.

“Is it okay for Cale Henituse to gain another ancient power? Is his plate okay?! Won’t it break again?”

Ron still looked calm, while some of the others stiffened up while hearing that.

“…What do you mean by… his plate breaking again?”

Basen quietly asked while Rasheel nonchalantly commented as if he couldn’t believe Basen didn’t even know that.

“Cale Henituse’s plate is wide but is pretty much completely full already. His plate will probably break into pieces if he takes in one more ancient power.”

“W, what would happen if it breaks?”

Lily quickly barged in. Rasheel was annoyed at these little pests but held back his anger and responded bluntly.

“What else? He’ll die if his plate breaks. I heard he’s been through this many times already? This time is probably really dangerous.”

“…Rasheel-nim.”

Ron tried to stop him, but Rasheel had already said it and Lily and Basen turned completely pale. Rasheel didn’t care as he looked toward the bottom of the hill.

“Who is that?”

“…She is the Duchess of the territory.”

Ron answered Rasheel’s question while looking at the pale expression on Duchess Violan’s face. She had just gotten here.

The Violan Ron knew would not have come here while Cale was here. However, she probably came over because she was worried after seeing this bright red tree and hearing Cale’s scream.

She had run over on her own. A lot of people probably wanted to come with her, but she probably came alone because she was worried that she might bother Cale who had wanted to go to his biological mother’s grave quietly.

And after rushing over on her own, the first thing she heard was what Rasheel had just said.

‘Tsk.’

Duchess Violan stopped walking and disappeared behind a tree without getting
