Trash of the Count's Family

“No?”

The man looking like Hilsman had an amused smile on his face as he shook his head about whether he was from the Thames family.

“I think anybody looking at him would be able to tell that he is joking around.”

The silver kitten On mumbled with a look of distrust. Cale picked Hong, who was tapping his leg, into his arms. Hong then shouted with shock.

“Your hand is injured!”

“What?”

“What did you say?!”

On and Raon’s gazes immediately turned toward Cale.

“Tsk. You are as clumsy as your mother.”

Swish.

On, Hong, and Raon. The children averaging nine-years-old all turned their heads toward the fake Hilsman.

Smirk. One corner of Cale’s lips twisted up as Cale slowly walked over to the seated ‘Hilsman.’

“Alright, sir, you just have to answer one thing for me.” (TL: Cale is speaking respectfully to this dude and ‘sir’ is really the best way to do it in English)

Cale stood right in front of the fake Hilsman and lowered his head. Cale could see the mischievous gaze in fake Hilsman’s eyes as he sat there and looked up at him.

“Are you a Hunter?”

His biological mother, Drew Thames, had told him about the ‘Hunters’ who search for single-lifers.

“Why do you ask? What are you going to do if I am a Hunter?”

“What an easy question to answer.”

Cale calmly answered back.

“I would have to take care of you.”

The fake Hilsman’s lips twisted up.

“…You truly do have the blood of the Thames.”

His face was now completely serious and the mischievousness was gone, but he seemed satisfied with Cale’s response.

“Yeah. Anybody with the Thames blood should loathe Hunters. It’d be a shame if you didn’t have the drive to annihilate the Hunters.”

‘Hmm?’

Cale flinched for a moment.

‘Annihilate?’

Cale was not thinking about annihilation. He just said that he would ‘take care’ of him. ‘Take care’ could mean many things.

It could be a negotiation to never hunt again or an agreement through conversation. If Cale had to use force on this guy, then there was the option of tying his arms and legs up so that he couldn’t ever hunt again.

There were many ways to ‘take care’ of him.

‘It’s not like I’m trying to follow the Thames bloodline and get rid of the Hunters.’

Although his body had the blood of the Thames, the soul within was a completely different person.

Of course, he had some thoughts about helping the biological mother of this body, Drew Thames, if she had anger or a grudge against the Hunters. He felt the same way about the issues of the Thames family.

‘But more importantly… I am worried about Choi Han.’

The biggest reason that Cale was wary about the Hunters was because of Choi Han.

Choi Han is a single-lifer. Yes, Choi Han is very strong, but they had no way of knowing the size nor strength of these mysterious Hunters. As a result, Cale couldn’t help but be extremely sensitive about the existence of these Hunters.

Whether it was Choi Han or Cale himself…

They were the two people in the most similar situation since they both left Earth and found a home in a new world.

‘I have a feeling there is a Hunter here.’

Three of the strong individuals that his father, Duke Deruth, had hired had disappeared.

If one of them was the White Star, there were still two mysterious individuals.

The fake Hilsman was not counted within those two people since he came with Duchess Violan from the Henituse territory.

“Yes… you do need to take care of all of them. Every single one.”

Either way, the fake Hilsman in front of him seemed to have misunderstood Cale’s definition of ‘take care’ as something a bit more vicious.

‘…This is kind of scary.’

Cale got chills on his back seeing the fake Hilsman snickering seriously with the mischievousness completely gone. He felt the same way he felt on that first day when he opened his eyes as Cale Henituse and saw Ron.

‘I…it…it feels like something new is starting.’

It was a terrible feeling for someone who was dreaming of a peaceful future, so Cale just decided to think that he understood it wrong.

He subconsciously rubbed the back of his neck as he opened his mouth.

“I guess I can at least conclude that you are not a Hunter.”

This fake did not seem to be a Hunter. In fact, it seemed as if he loathed the Hunters quite a bit.

‘He is either someone from the Thames family or someone connected to them.’

The fake Hilsman slowly nodded his head.

“Yeah. I am not a Hunter.”

On’s ears twitched as she looked at him.

This guy looked like Hilsman, but the way he looked so tired reminded her of Cale or even the White Star.

He seemed uninterested or bored.

‘…He kind of reminds me of Eruhaben-nim too.’

Yes, he seemed more like Eruhaben than Cale.

He reminded her of the old Eruhaben, the one who seemed distant from the events of the world. This fake Hilsman seemed disconnected like that.

‘But the anger in his eyes earlier was real.’

On thought about something two people told her in the past. They each had placed her on their laps and said the following.

‘From now on, you will hold information in your hands. The first thing you need to do for that is to observe people well.’

She had heard that while on Ron’s lap.
