Trash of the Count's Family

TCF2-44

Shh. Shh.

White sand scattered as he walked.

Marquis Helson stopped walking and looked around.

This white desert had cut through the black sand and dark fog to appear.

He motioned toward the black mage standing next to me.

“...Please cancel it.”

“…….”

The black mage was blanking out looking up in the air before he responded.

“...Yes, Marquis-nim.”

Marquis Helson took a deep breath once the barrier that was preventing dead mana from getting to them was canceled.

In the decades he had spent in the edge region...

The air that he had breathed during that time... Air that was so clear and completely different from the air he was used to came in through his nose and spread throughout his body.

‘How refreshing.’

It had truly been a long time since he had felt something like this.

Just breathing in made him feel as if he wanted to cry.

‘...Marquis-nim.’

He called out to the former Marquis in his mind.

The place he was standing right now, this now white sand desert was, ironically, the location of his territory in the past.

‘For the black tree to have been planted in my hometown.’

Thinking about this made him angry, but seeing the blue sky washed away all of his anger.

He recalled what Chief Eaen had said.

‘Marquis-nim, dead mana was no longer able to approach the area with the white sand.’

Normally, the polluted land around the white sand should have tried to spread its demonic reach toward it, but for some reason, the dead mana did not approach the white sand. That was why there was no black fog here and they could see the blue sky.

He didn’t know the reason behind it.

Maybe it was normal that he didn't know the reason.

‘Everything here is what the esteemed Purifier-nim has achieved.’

The individual who had come after receiving the call of the world...

That existence had created this.

How could he decipher the deep thoughts of such a person?

‘I was so crazy.’

Marquis Helson got chills.

‘I tried to use such an esteemed individual.’

Marquis Helson wanted to slap his old self, the one who thought about working together with the Purifier to go against the Imperial Palace and the House of Huayans.

‘Hmm?’

He raised his head after sensing an odd feeling.

“Ah.”

The sun that had been hidden behind a white cloud revealed itself, shining down on Marquis Helson's face.

It’s warm.

It’s hot.

It’s too bright.

He was feeling such things in the middle of the polluted area.

“…….”

A single tear drop dripped down the side of Marquis Helson's face.

Coming here in person to see this purified landscape gave off a holiness that he had not felt while looking at it from the Lord’s Castle.

“Marquis-nim.”

He heard the Vice Chief's concerned voice next to him.

Marquis Helson opened his mouth.

“...Looking at this purified landscape-”

Of course, he had not forgotten his duty.

“It makes me think about the noble sacrifices of the people who have passed to create this. I too should have been here.”

His gaze moved toward the Huayans patriarch and his group.

‘They are shocked.’

The black mages and knights couldn’t hide their shock while looking at the same sight as Helson.

‘The reactions are varied. I'm sure some of them have heard about the black tree from the Huayans patriarch in the past.’

The subordinates who came here with the Huayans patriarch were basically his hands and feet.

That was why some of them would know how this place used to be.

‘But their reaction is not important.’

Marquis Helson’s gaze moved to the Huayans patriarch.

This was the current leader of the House of Huayans, the instructor of the current Emperor.

Reddock Huayans. (TL: In ch 18, the author named him Wallot. He is not suddenly Reddock. Blame the author.)

“…….”

Reddock Huayans reached his hand out and grabbed some white sand. He then quietly inspected it.

He closed his eyes.

‘!!’

Helson’s eyes opened wide in shock.

‘I didn’t know this person would act like this.’

Reddock Huayans had taken a deep breath just as Helson had done. He then let the breeze with the fresh air hit his face before opening his eyes and looking up at the blue sky.

His mouth opened and his voice was extremely low as he spoke. It also cracked.

“How beautiful.”

Reddock Huayans said that this place was beautiful.

He sounded honest.
