Trash of the Count’s Family

his grandmother blamed herself for this incident.

However, he gasped after hearing what she said to Cale. It was because he realized that the Duchess was still strong.

“Do you know who the best drinker in this household is?”

Cale became anxious.

He had expected them to lock the gates, however, the Duchess had personally shown up to announce their seclusion and that she was stepping down from the position of Duchess and passing the title onto her grandson.

And why was she suddenly talking about drinking?

Cale did not know the answer and responded as such.

“…I am not sure.”

Sonata ’s wrinkled face started to smile.

“Me.”

“…Excuse me?”

“I am the best drinker. Let ’s drink together next time.”

Billos was amazed by her statement.

Duchess Sonata was known for not meeting with many people outside of during official settings. It was because she could not trust many people. Such a person was talking about sharing a meal with someone without power nor influence.

‘Just what did the young master-nim do this time?!

Duchess Gyerre and Cale, who should be bitter enemies, seemed to be so friendly with each other. Billos looked toward Cale with reverence while Cale did not like how things were progressing.

‘Why is the Duchess acting like this?

Cale had no desire to share a meal with any of the Gyerres.

Cale put on a respectful and gentle smile before responding to the Duchess.

“I will bring some great alcohol with me should we be fated to meet again.”

Fated to meet again.

That meant that he would not be coming for no reason.

Duchess Sonata was amazed that Cale did not rush at the chance to build a friendship with her.

‘He definitely isnt an average punk.

The crown prince had said that he would send someone to let her know when it was time to open the gates. She was certain that this person would be Cale Henituse.

“Yes. Lets meet again next time.”

The old woman ’s eyes sparkled as she proclaimed there would be a next time while Cale slowly avoided her gaze and bowed.

‘There won ’t be a next time.

Cale had no intention of that happening.

Antonio looked toward Cale and his grandmother before he started to smile. Only he noticed that his grandmother had accepted Cale Henituse as a,true noble.

“Then I will be on my way now.”

Cale bid farewell to the Duchess before trying to get back on the carriage. He then seemed to have remembered something as he turned back and asked.

“Duchess-nim, is everybody safe?”

Although Cale did not clarify who he was talking about, Sonata immediately understood.

“Yes, they are safe. They are currently getting healthier.”

Cale was talking about the kidnapped citizens.

“That is a relief.”

Sonata looked at the corner of Cale ’s lips twitching and knew that this was Cale ’s true smile.

‘He ’s a decent kid.

He was better than she had expected.

The crown prince that she had chatted with this time was a good boy too.

She was thinking that, if she was going to let go of power now, she needed to prepare for the next time she would seek power.

‘I should leave all communications with the crown prince and Cale to Antonio.

Sonatas gaze toward Cale became deeper, but Cale internally sighed in relief that she was not trying to hold him up.

He finished boding farewell once more before finally getting to leave the Gyerre territory.

Billos, who was on the carriage with Cale, was able to figure out that Cale was talented in many more things than just gaining wealth.

That was why he became full of expectations for this trip to the Caro Kingdom.

He could see Cale laying down inside the carriage at that moment.

“Ha, so tiring.”

Cale was frowning and seemed to find everything annoying.

“Meeeeeow.”

The silver kitten bit down on a pillow and dragged it next to Cale ’s head. Cale moved the pillow underneath his head and laid down across the seat.

Billos blinked his eyes in confusion.

Young master Cale truly was an unfathomable person.

“I ’m going to sleep. Don ’t talk to me.”

Billos nodded his head at Cale ’s order and kept his mouth closed.

‘Who would see him like this and call him young master Silver Light?

He thought about the Cale that was becoming known as a just noble in the Gyerre territory and the southwest region and chose to ignore this extremely lazy young master.

“Hello young master-nim. It has been a while.”

The GPS-like voice came out of the black robe.

“Yes. Long time no see.”

Cale casually waved his hand and received Marys greeting. The necromancer Mary then got into the carriage to join them.

The southern section of the Caro Kingdom.

This Vegas City that existed just for auctions was known for having the largest auction house.

“Young master Cale, long time no see!”

Alberu ’s aunt, the Dark Elf Tasha, got on the carriage after Mary.

Billos was no longer in the carriage. He had gotten off the carriage in order to head toward the Flynn Merchant Guilds Vegas branch as soon as they arrived in Vegas City.

Tasha sat down on an empty seat and put on an awkward smile.

“Mm, isnt Vegas City such a fabulous place?”

“I suppose so.”

Contrary to Cale, who was casually responding, Tasha had an odd expression as she looked toward a corner of the carriage.

Vegas City was currently decorated to celebrate the beginning of the auction season in February. The already fabulous city was decorated with many red and blue lights, making it look extremely beautiful.

There were bards, plays, auctions, and gambling. It was a city that was full of all sorts of pleasure.

Tasha had expected Cale to be calm while looking at this city, but the reaction of the others was out of her expectations.

“Wow! I want that shining sculpture!”

“That hat is so pretty!”

“I would look so cool if I walked around with that cape!”

The Black Dragon and the two kittens were going crazy while looking out the window of the carriage. They were each holding their piggy banks. [1]

The children were all touching their piggy banks while saying,I want it.

Swish.

Raon ’s head turned toward Cale, Tasha, and Mary. Tasha flinched as the Black Dragon started to speak to Cale.

“Human! I have a lot of money in my piggy bank! I will buy everything I want to buy!”

Vegas City and its shiny and wondrous things had captured the heart of the six-years-old Raon. On and Hong were the same.

The kittens followed Raon and looked toward Cale. They seemed ready to go out and have Vice Captain Hilsman buy things for them if Cale allowed them to do so.

The Dark Elf Tasha looked at them with a blank expression before her eyes opened wide after hearing Cale ’s response.

“Ill buy them for you.”

Silence filled the carriage for a moment.

“W, what did you say?”

Raon couldnt help but stutter.

However, Cale just casually repeated himself.

“I will buy you everything you want. Buy whatever you want.”

How expensive could things that children want be?

“I, is that really okay?”

“I, I ’m going to buy a lot of things!”

“…You ’re acting weird!”

The three childrens minds seemed to be chaotic, but they still slowly surrounded Cale. Tasha continued to sit there with a blank expression until she heard Marys mechanical voice.

“Young master-nim, you really are a warm and kind person.”

Tasha nodded her head in agreement, but felt a bit odd while she did that.

“Human, you are the best! Our human is the best!”

“Ill also increase your allowance. You ’ll get 20 silver coins now.”

“Y, y, you generous human!”

Raon started to pour compliments on him, but Cale just casually ignored it.

How many things could children really ask for?

He was about to earn billions of gallons.

There were a red necklace and a black jewel inside Cale ’s magic bag.

“Young master-nim, are we heading to the inn first?”

Tasha looked toward the excited children with a warm gaze before moving that gaze over to Cale. Cale bluntly responded back to that warm gaze.

“Yes. Then I will go for a light walk.”

“A walk?”

“Yes.”

“Where?”

”The casino.”

“…Excuse me?”

The large building that was in the shape of a golden tree.

That was the largest legal casino in the continent.

The VIP auction took place four times a year on the top floor of that casino.

Cale ’s small goal was to sell items at an extremely expensive price to the two people who will meet him there.

1. (PR: The cats have pouches tied around their necks if I remember correctly. Either that, or they are using Raon as their portable piggy bank.)
