Trash of the Count's Family

# The Birth of a Hero? (2)

“Cale-!”

As Cale clearly heard Duke Deruth's voice again...

The moment he heard Deruth’s shout through all of the noises he had been hearing while going through the plaza...

‘This is bad.’

Cale truly realized that he was in big trouble.

Cale felt that Deruth Henituse had become a very important person in his life.

The people in the plaza moved away to make way for Duke Deruth to get to Cale.

Duke Deruth had cast aside all elegance as a noble or a Duke and was running toward Cale without thinking about anything else.

Choi Han bit down on his lips as he watched.

The look on Duke Deruth's face was stabbing at Choi Han's heart.

“...It can’t go on like this.”

Cale wanted to nod his head at Choi Han’s mumbling.

‘I can’t meet my father like this!’

Cale knew that although he looked terrible on the outside, he was completely fine.

Of course, it was a bit of a burden when he used the shield and Embrace earlier. However, probably because he was not able to use that properly and because of this vitality that seemed to start from his heart and spread throughout his body, his body was quickly getting better.

‘Choi Han, let’s go!’

Choi Han did not move. Even Toonka had stopped as he was looking at Duke Deruth with pity on his savage face.

“Ugh.”

Toonka bit down on his lips as if he was suppressing his sorrow.

“Cale!”

Duke Deruth finally reached Cale. His shaking hand moved through the air and touched Cale's body.

The moment Cale felt the shaking, the moment he felt Deruth touch extremely carefully as If Cale might break...

‘...This isn't right.

What the heck am I doing right now?’

Those were the thoughts in his head.

Cale thought that he should slightly raise his head to show Deruth that he was fine. As Cale’s body twitched a bit to do that...

Grab!

Duke Deruth had hugged Cale while he was still on Choi Han’s back.

People could not easily start speaking as they watched. Nobody could cheer while looking at a parent hugging their injured child.

However, the silence did not last very long.

“...Oh no... he must really be seriously injured.”

The comment from a robed individual made people start whispering quietly.

“Hurry up and report to the kingdom. Cale Henituse, the crown prince, and others seem to be in critical condition. It’s so bad even the Saint is worried.”

“I understand.”

People started reporting to their respective kingdoms.

This was not an issue only for the foreign nations. The messengers of the different territories of the Roan Kingdom quickly started reporting to their territories as well.

However, all of this was done stealthily while most of the people at the center of the plaza were sharing words of concern or uneasiness while looking at Deruth who was hugging Cale without moving.

“Mm.”

Choi Han was basically frozen there with Cale on his back.

Choi Han was close enough that he could hear what Duke Deruth was whispering to Cale.

“You’re awake.”

Deruth spoke in a low voice. Choi Han could feel Cale twitching on his back. After having known Cale for a long time... Choi Han believed Cale was scared right now.

“...Fa”

“Shh.”

Deruth stopped Cale from talking and spoke in a vicious tone that Cale had never heard from him before.

“Yes. Let’s keep being hurt like this.”

‘Excuse me?’

Cale wanted to ask back but he listened to his father's order not to say anything.

He felt as if that was what he should do right now.

“Whether it is the Roan Kingdom or the temple or whatever... You just leave everything to your father and mother. Don't do anything.”

Cale wanted to respond.

‘I was planning on resting now anyway?’

Cale had nothing to do immediately. Of course, he was still uneasy about the Hunters and their organization, but-
