Trash of the Count's Family

The Pope definitely said that Dragons had gone extinct about 300 years ago.

Cale's gaze turned toward the direction of the conversation. Quite a lot of people were already looking at the person who mentioned Dragon.

That person pretended not to notice their gazes or maybe he was enjoying the attention, as he continued to speak.

“Ahem. Ahem. You know that my nephew works at the Imperial Palace!”

“That nephew that works as a low-ranking official?”

“Yeah! I heard from him.”

The person put a lot of emphasis on his voice.

"That is what he said. He said that the first Imperial Prince is with a Dragon.”

“...Didn't Dragons go extinct?”

Cale moved toward the direction of the conversation in a way that made it not noticeable as to what he was doing.

“No. He definitely said that it was a Dragon. My nephew said that he saw it in his Royal Highness's palace.”

“Really?”

The person vigorously nodded his head and spoke with certainty as the other person asked with disbelief.

“Really! He definitely said that a cool black Dragon-nim that is overflowing with dignity is by his Royal Highness’s side!”

‘Is there really a Dragon by the first Imperial Prince's side?’

Cale heard Raon’s confused voice as his expression stiffened.

- Hmm? A cool black Dragon overflowing with dignity? That’s me!

Human, that makes no sense! I am always on your side!

Cale ignored Raon’s comments. He could feel the mood around the two conversing people change.

“Ahem. Hem.”

The person who mentioned the Dragon looked around before slowly walking out of the plaza with an awkward look on his face.

The person he was chatting with looked around as well before also leaving.

However, the things that they mentioned started to spread like wildfire once they left.

“My goodness, that’s unbelievable. A Dragon?!”

“Do you think that it is real?”

“A lot of this test is going to be public for us to see! We will be able to learn whether it is true or not when the time comes!”

Shock, astonishment, and suspicion filled the hearts of the people in the plaza.

“If an extinct Dragon really did appear, I would want the first Imperial Prince to become the Imperial Crown Prince even if he isn't the strongest necromancer.”

“No. I heard that the first Imperial Prince's necromancer abilities are quite great as well. Furthermore, I heard that one of the three people assisting him is the Huayans family's first young lady.”

‘Huayans? The Black Bloods household?

The first young lady of that family is going to participate with the first Imperial Prince?’

“Mm. The House of Huayans hasn't determined an heir yet either, right?”

“That’s right.”

New information was coming at Cale from all directions.

"Anyways, if that Dragon is real, I hope that the Dragon could watch over this land again!”

"I know, right?! The start of the erosion had to do with Dragons, so a Dragon coming back would certainly return this world to its original state!”

People were starting to be filled with hope and expectations.

All sorts of conversations reached Cale’s ears. The people around him quickly started to move as well.

This information about the Dragon would probably soon spread throughout the capital and beyond.

‘The situation is turning quite odd.’

Cale heard a cold voice as he was about to get deep into thought.

“How interesting.”

It was Eruhaben.

It was then that Cale realized that the ancient Dragon’s mood seemed quite unhappy.

‘It makes sense; the Black Bloods definitely played a role in the extinction of the Dragons.”

There was no way Eruhaben would feel good when someone from the Black Bloods household was with the first Imperial Prince and an extinct Dragon was supposedly with them as well when the Black Bloods were responsible for their deaths.

Eruhaben was a Dragon who cherished his fellow Dragons quite a bit.

“I will escort you to the notice for now.”

The group followed Durst and soon arrived at the notice.

“Hmm.”
