Trash of the Count's Family

The Whipper Kingdom didn’t even mention when they should meet.

‘Come whenever you want!’

They said that the door was always open. At least for Cale.

The crown prince had smiled brightly as he shared this information to Cale.

‘Cale, you go. It sounded like Commander Toonka wants to see you.’

On the other hand, Cale had frowned after hearing that.

That made Alberu smile even brighter as he waved.

‘Go and take good care of things. You won't need to do any of the complicated stuff.’

Although it was going to a foreign kingdom as a representative of Roan, Cale accepted without giving it much thought.

‘I just need to open the door today.’

The administrators would take care of the details later.

‘The Duke's House of Henituse and Billos will take care of my mines issue as well.’

Cale subconsciously smiled with satisfaction.

‘I just need to install the mine and relax while I make money.’

It was great.

This was truly a reliable means of wealth for his future slacker life.

“Hahaha! My close friend! You must be happy to see me as well! Hahahaha! Your smile is very nice to see!”

Of course, the smile lost strength as soon as he heard Toonka’s voice.

However, the way Cale looked at Toonka was not completely unsettled.

‘...He’s turned into a decent guy now.’

The Toonka who was always shouting for war and willing to sacrifice his allies was no longer visible.

In addition...

“It’s been a while, Commander-nim.”

Chief Harol Kodiang, who had been full of thoughts of revenge against the Tower Master of the Magic Tower and mages in general...

That bastard basically showed no traces of those feelings anymore as well.

“It has been a while, Chief Harol.”

Cale shook the hand that Harol Kodiang extended toward him.

“Oh right, you are no longer just a Chief. No, I should not speak so informally to you anymore, sir.”

Minister of State.

That was Harol's new position.

“It somehow ended up that way. But you can still speak informally to me.”

Harol’s smile made Cale clearly see that ‘it somehow ended up that way’ really meant that Harol made it happen that way.

Cale liked that quite a bit.

‘This makes the conversation easy.’

He looked at Commander Toonka and Minister of State Harol... And started to speak again.

“Why don’t we go inside and chat?”

His voice sounded quite entertained as he continued to speak.

"There are too many eyes here.”

“You are right, Cale-nim.”

Choi Han, who was standing behind Cale, agreed. Cale slowly looked around.

Cale had teleported and arrived right in front of the palace at the center of the Whipper Kingdom's Royal Palace.

Although there were warriors stationed around here and some administrators as well...

‘They are not the only ones here.’

There were many people all around them looking at them.

They must be the people who work in the Royal Palace.

‘The rumors are going to spread quickly.’

Not everybody who worked in the Royal Palace was tight-lipped.

Some of them had quite loose lips.

The fact that Cale and sword master Choi Han visited the Whipper Kingdom would soon spread all over.

‘I'm sure there are spies here as well.’

Eyes sent from other kingdoms were bound to exist in the Whipper Kingdom.

Cale Henituse, who had not shown himself for quite a while and stayed in confinement, came out to happily chat with the crown prince just a few days ago.

He then came to visit the Whipper Kingdom.

The foreign kingdoms were bound to notice that something was happening.

‘If they don’t realize anything from this...’

They are not observant at all.

And anybody who is even a little bit observant will soon realize it.

“Please let me escort you to a quiet place.”

Harol was extremely respectful to Cale despite now being the Minister of State.

“I ask for your understanding of our lack of preparations at your sudden visit.”

Cale shook his head.

“There is no need for such understanding between us.”

Harol flinched after seeing Cale acting in such a friendly manner.

“Of course! With our relationship, you can just treat it as coming to visit your next door neighbor!”

Although Toonka was shouting with joy...

Harol noticed the small smile on Cale’s face at that moment.

Cale put on a gentle and warm smile as he commented.

“Yeah. There is no need to complicate things between close friends.”

Before they headed off to a quiet area... He purposely spoke loud enough for others to hear.

“The trust and faith that the Whipper Kingdom has shown us... Made it impossible for me not to come visit.”

Harol's gaze clouded over for a moment.

“...I knew that you would not come without reason, but... There really is a reason for your visit.”

“Of course. Have you ever seen me moving without purpose?”

“Never.”
