Trash of the Count's Family

Cale asked with a disgruntled look on his face, not caring that the Sage Demon was sweating profusely.

“And what is that situation?”

Chief Eunuch Wi could not pay attention to the fact that young master Kim was speaking completely different from his usual respectful tone.

‘Did he say that bastard?’

He was still in shock at the fact that Cale had called the Heavenly Demon, ‘that bastard.’

“Ahem. Ahem. You see…”

The Sage Demon slowly looked away from the disgruntled Cale and answered.

“Originally, the Heavenly Demon wished to ask you to join him when he dined with the four candidates, young master Kim-nim.”

Cale decided to listen to what the Sage Demon had to say and leaned back on the chair with his arms crossed.

“This was to confirm whether any of the candidates were living jiangshis.”

Cale nodded his head.

That was a necessary task.

“And the reason he chose it to be during a meal was because he thought that the best story would be telling the candidates that they are greeting a member of the Imperial family.”

He nodded his head this time as well.

“That won’t work.”

However, Cale opposed that idea.

“Excuse me?”

“Most importantly, it cannot be a meal.”

Priest Durst would faint as soon as he got near the Heavenly Demon.

Cale informed the Sage Demon about Priest Durst and that he was the one who could find the living jiangshis.

“S, someone like that exists?”

The Sage Demon seemed quite flabbergasted as he gasped in shock.

“If he faints when he sees the Heavenly Demon-nim and dry heaves when he sees a living jiangshis, it truly seems difficult to have that Noble Warrior accompany you to a meal.”

“It is.”

“That’s a relief.”

Cale looked at the Sage Demon after hearing that response.

“It was originally supposed to be during a meal but I wanted to tell you that the situation had changed.”

Cale felt iffy about this but motioned to the Sage Demon with his eyes to continue.

“I suppose the factions behind each candidate became anxious after being informed about this meal that they made a move.”

Cale slightly scowled after hearing that.

“The Heavenly Demon cannot even plan a meal as he pleases? This seems different from what I have heard about the Heavenly Demon’s position in the Demon Cult.”

The Demon Cult supposedly allowed for under the surface fights between the candidates until the heir was decided.

Furthermore, they welcomed candidates openly battling or their factions having fair fights as well. This was because the Demon Cult valued the survival of the fittest.

It was also the reason the current Heavenly Demon was able to rise to his position despite not having much to his name.

Which was why it made no sense that the Heavenly Demon could not even schedule a meal as he pleased.

‘The Heavenly Demon is also not someone who would sit by and let something like that happen.’

The Sage Demon answered Cale’s question.

There is one of the Eight Pavilions that has not given their support for any of the candidates. That is the Law and Etiquettes Pavilion. It is the place that oversees the laws and etiquettes of the Demon Cult.”

Laws and Etiquettes.

Cale could tell how things ended up like this as soon as he heard that. He spoke before the Sage Demon could say anything.

“A member of the Imperial family has publicly visited the Demon Cult-”

“Yes sir. This is the first visit in about 300 years.”

“Anyway, the Law and Etiquettes Pavilion must have said something to the Heavenly Demon about following the proper laws and etiquettes for such a visit?”

“That is right, young master-nim.”

“They didn’t say anything wrong there, so… They probably asked to create an official meeting so that it does not seem disrespectful to the Imperial Palace, especially since the heir has yet to be chosen?”

“Yes sir. That is correct.”

Cale’s face looked unsettled while the Sage Demon, who was nodding his head in agreement to what Cale was saying, wiped his forehead with a handkerchief and added on.

The Pavilion Master of the Law and Etiquettes Pavilion is the eldest of all of the Demon Cult’s staff right now and has been working since the days of the former Heavenly Demon. Even the Heavenly Demon cannot easily ignore that senior’s opinion.”

“…It’s obvious he’s a damn stickler for the rules.”

“That’s right! Young master Kim-nim, you’re able to figure out a person’s true nature by just hearing a bit about them!”

The Sage Demon complimented Cale but Cale was indifferent about it.

‘Wuxia novels always have an old Elder or person in charge in each major force who is such a stickler for the rules.’

Cale let out a sigh. He felt as if things were getting extremely annoying.

The Sage Demon warily looked at him before smiling brightly and slowly commenting.

“Young master-nim, honestly speaking, you do not need to worry much about it.”

“I thought you wanted me to take a look at the candidates for the future leader of the Demon Cult and let you know?”

“That is also just for formalities.”

The Sage Demon honestly answered.
