Trash of the Count's Family

TCF2-9

< The reason for remembering (4)>

Late at night not long before midnight...

There was a place giving off an even brighter light than the day. It was the Temple of the God of Death.

“I didn't expect you to come so quickly, Commander-nim.”

The bishop looked calm but a thrill, sense of anticipation, anxiety and other emotions were swirling inside.

Cale gently smiled at him.

‘He’s a decent person.’

The bishop in front of Cale seemed like a decent person based on the information crown prince Alberu had given him.

‘Although he seeks power and fame... He is someone who properly completes his duties and maintains his foundation as a priest.’

The comments about the bishop were average.

< Someone who finds rules to be extremely important but looks at his personal benefits to be more important. However, he does have piety. >

Even someone who did not have any greed for power or fame would start to have some once they rose to the position of running a kingdom’s church.

The bishop in front of him had a balance of a decent level of piety against a greed for power, a decent level of goodness against his own desires.

“Bishop-nim.”

“Yes, Commander-nim.”

The bishop's heart was beating quickly while looking at Cale, who had stealthily come to see him late in the night.

‘It’s obvious.’

The bishop could basically make out the relationship between Cale and the royal family, no, between Cale and the crown prince.

The information he gathered today helped him realize that the damage to the Royal Palace and the Duke’s Estate was much greater than he had thought. No matter how hard they tried to keep quiet about it, this information will be sent throughout the kingdom and both the Eastern and Western continents.

It was a misfortune that fell upon a kingdom that was seen as a future strong power.

‘I'm certain that he will want to use the divine item to suppress the anxiety about the current situation and divert people's attention.’

That would be why the crown prince, whose reaction had not been so positive when they met, sent the Commander so easily to the temple.

‘Either that or this intelligent Commander personally stepped in to change the mood.’

The temple and the royal family... Cale and the bishop...

The fact that the two sides had some common ground in their thought process... The bishop could tell that was the case.

That was the reason he was waiting with anticipation as to what Cale would say.

It was a deal.

He wanted the upper hand in the deal.

“Bishop-nim, I will lay it all out for you.”

The bishop easily held the corners of his lips from rising up.

Lay it all out.

What did that mean?

It was a shortcut to making a deal.

The bishop waited for Cale to speak and Cale responded immediately as if to meet his expectations.

Plop. He pulled a black book out of his pocket and placed it on the table.

“I have already been hearing the words of the god.”

“...Excuse me?”

The bishop became anxious.

“The god has requested a conversation and I have chatted with him as well.”

“…….”

The bishop was shocked but did not react so stupidly again. He used his numerous years of experience to put on his poker face.

However, Cale had already seen the clueless look on his face.

Chh.

Cale reached his hand and slowly turned the pages of the black book.

“How do you think that I came so quickly from Puzzle City to the capital? Especially when my body is in such terrible condition?”

Chh. Chh.

The pages turned.

The bishop's gaze moved to the black book.

“...Huh?”

A clueless voice came out of his mouth once again.

“This is-”

He could not continue to speak.

This black book... He could feel something from it despite not thoroughly inspecting it.

The position of bishop was not something you could gain from political influence alone. Well, there were some people who did, but he was someone who could at least recognize this item.

Chh. Chh.

Cale had shown this book to Raon before coming here.

‘Can you see it?’

‘Yeah! Human, I can see these words too!’

The finger that had been flipping the pages stopped.

The bishop's eyes stopped on some words on a page.
