Trash of the Count's Family

TCF2-28

In the middle of the dark night... A red pillar shot up far beyond the wall.

The clear red color looked as if it would burn up all of the darkness around.

That light was clearly visible in this world where everything was dark.

“Hey Sui Khan! Look at that, do you see it?”

Raon, On, and Hong... The children averaging nine-years-old had their faces pressed against the window with their eyes wide open.

The black Dragon's blue eyes looked into Sui Khan’s red eyes.

"That red pillar! I'm certain that this light is our human using his power!”

On spoke next very calmly but also very quickly.

“It is pretty far but if we can see the fiery thunderbolt from here... It must mean that he used quite a lot of his power, nya.”

“That means something dangerous must have happened, nya!”

Hong became anxious and didn’t know what to do.

“We should have followed him!”

Raon clenched his cheeks with his front paws. The black Dragon looked toward Sui Khan who had been silently standing by another window.

“Hey Sui Khan! Why aren’t you saying anything?”

On slowly turned her gaze to observe Sui Khan. This was a new friend who had been with them since they came to this planet.

Based on Cale, Choi Han, and especially Alberu’s demeanor, he seemed like someone they could trust. Unlike Cale who frequently lacked a sense of vigilance, Choi Han followed by Alberu were the two most vigilant people in the group. Those two people had accepted Sui Khan as a part of their team.

‘Ah!’

On held back a gasp after checking what Sui Khan was observing out the window.

‘He’s observing the castle!’

While On’s gaze had been focused on the red light, Sui Khan was observing the inside of the castle.

No alarm had gone off in the castle.

But On knew.

‘I'm sure they saw what we saw as well.’

That was when On could finally see people moving in the darkness, especially by the distant wall out of the precinct. She could see soldiers, knights, and even black mages.

On, who was in her human form, opened the window.

Clunk.

She then looked out the window.

‘...The light in the Margrave's bedroom turned on!’

The room next to the Margrave’s bedroom was the office for his top executives and that room had the light on twenty four hours a day.

She was certain that the Margrave and the entire top executives team were on alert right now.

The castle seemed quiet but it was quite chaotic underneath the surface. That chaos would soon rise above the surface as well.

‘What do I do?’

They couldn’t let people figure out about Cale’s visit outside.

On’s mind quickly started to move.

It was at that moment.

“Hey On. Isn’t it cold?”

On heard a slow voice behind her.

“The night breeze is cold.”

Sui Khan was looking at her. He was petting Raon’s head with one hand while messing Hong's hair with his other hand.

Clunk.

On leaned back into the room and closed the window.

It was because she suddenly realized that someone might see her in her human form.

On heard Sui Khan's voice.

"Variables always come up.”

His voice was calm but it was different from Cale's calm voice. Cale sounded crude, cold, and indifferent but his voice held warmth within it.

Sui Khan spoke slowly as if everything was boring and there was warmth in his voice as he gently called her name, but...

"We also can’t be swept around by the variables.”

It oddly sounded cold and rational.

This was something she had felt back in the Empire’s capital.

Of course, that coldness was not directed at ‘me’ or my ‘little brothers.’

“I'm sure they are in more chaos than we are.”

Toward their enemies, toward their goal... Sui Khan did not hide that coldness.

“Hey Sui Khan! But what if our human comes back hurt? What about Mary? Goldie gramps? Choi Han?”

“That’s right! That’s what we are worried about, nya!”

On saw Sui Khan’s gaze heading somewhere outside the window as Raon and Hong could not hide their anxiety.

He was looking where Eruhaben had teleported them to before they crossed the wall.

“He’s smarter than I am so I'm sure they are heading back right now.”
