Trash of the Count’s Family

g some funny things, sir.”

Cale was able to snap out of it thanks to Ron’s chillingly benign voice.
The young Duke was continuing to speak at that moment.

“I am a Vampire who knows about grace and pride.
That is why I won ’t serve anyone.”

Cale immediately responded.

“You ’re saying you won ’t serve the Demonic race or the White Star?”

The boy started to smile.

“I will only tell you the truth.
I truly do not serve anyone.”

Vampires.

Cale started to think about this race that he had not cared about in the past.
The records quickly passed through his mind.

“Serving someone is something only the weak do.
It’s bad if someone like you with such delicious blood has such misunderstandings.”

Of course, Duke Fredo could be lying for the greater good.
However, he would only speak the truth as he said he would do that.

His pride would not let him do otherwise.
Furthermore, he had something to say to Cale Henituse.

‘…He truly is amazing seeing him in person.’

He had heard a lot about Cale.
He had high expectations based on what he had heard.

Vampires.

They had the darkness attribute like the Dark Elves but were considered a part of this world.
That was why they were fine when touching life force, unlike others with the darkness attribute.
They were fine when coming into contact with fresh blood.

No, it was better for them to do that.
The boy stepped down from the boulder.

“Cale Henituse.”

Tap.

He gently landed before slowly walking toward Cale ’s group.
They tried to nervously look intimidating, but…

Boom.
Boom.
Boom.

They heard the ground shaking at the distance.
Cale instantly knew what it was.

‘It’s horse hooves!’

The ground was shaking because the horses were running wildly.
The enemies would have stopped being misled and would rush toward here now.
Cale wanted to look behind him.
He was curious about how the mountain looked now that the fog was mostly gone.
However, he needed to maintain eye contact with the Vampire Duke.

Chhhh.

Duke Fredo stopped walking and looked toward the sword pointed at him.
Hannah’s white sword was pointed at him without shaking.
Fredo chuckled while looking at it.

”What an interesting toy.”
“What?”

Hannah started to glare.
She twisted the wrist holding the sword and the Condemnation of the Sun quickly started to stab toward Duke Fredo.

Shaaaaaaaaaaa-!

“…Where?!”

However, there was nothing in the spot she stabbed.

Bang!

She turned her head in shock after hearing a loud noise behind her.

“Hmm.
You truly are a bit different.”

Choi Han had appeared in front of Cale and had stopped Duke Fredo ’s hand.

“…Wait, what the-?!”

However, Hannah was more shocked than relieved after seeing what happened.
She was not the only one.
Even Choi Han who had blocked Duke Fredo ’s attack was shocked and his pupils were shaking.

The boy had disappeared.
The person whose attack Choi Han had blocked was a healthy-looking adult.
He seemed to be in his thirties, around Beacrox ’s age.
The only similarities with the young Vampire boy were their purple eyes and light grey hair.
Although the colors were the same, his demeanor seemed very slothful and relaxed.

Duke Fredo had instantly turned from a boy to an adult.
This was probably his true appearance.

Shhh-

Choi Han was shocked at how Duke Fredo was able to easily push his sword away with his hand.
However, Duke Fredo just brushed his hands and started to speak.

“Our allies will soon get here, so I ’ll speak quickly and disappear.
You need time to run away, after all.”

Cale ’s expression turned odd.

‘He’s different.’

The boy’s appearance was just a shell and this must be his true appearance as the pressure he was giving off was intense.
He suddenly had a thought.

‘He doesn’t seem like the type to serve under the White Star.’

It was the same for the Marquis with the fan as well.
They did not fit as the White Star ’s subordinates.
It happened as Cale’s eyes observed the adult version Fredo.

“I would like to offer you a deal.”

Fredo started to speak in a calm voice.
However, the things he was saying were unbelievable.

“A deal? But aren ’t we enemies?”

“Who knows? We can’t decide that just yet.”

Cale could only ask what the deal was after hearing Fredo ’s response.

“…What is the offer?”

Fredo started to smile.
Cale had an ominous feeling after seeing that smile as Duke Fredo slowly explained the deal.

“Hand your blood over to us.
No, serve it to us.”

‘What?’

Cale ’s eyes opened wide.

‘What did I just hear?’

Duke Fredo continued to speak as Cale stood there shocked.
The Duke was being serious.

”Then we will cooperate with you.”
”What do you mean by that?”

But at that moment…

Boom.
Boom.
Boom!

The rumbling got even closer.
Bud who took a deep breath through his nose started to shout.

”The scent is rushing here! They ’re close!”

The enemies were getting closer.
They really needed to move now.
They needed to lead the enemies to a trap and escape from them.

Duke Fredo looked past Cale ’s shoulder before gently speaking to the shocked Cale.

“I will invite you to our castle in the near future.
Come if you want to hear the details.”

Cale continued to look at Fredo in shock.

‘Blood? He wants me to serve up my blood? Then he will cooperate with me? What nonsense is this?’

“Ah.
You should know this.”

Fredo took a step back and started to smile.
It was an extremely mischievous smile.

“Your blood is very good for Vampires.
Tastes, nutrients, the healing properties.
It’s the best kind of medicine for us.”

Smile.

Fredo smiled brightly.
The adult Fredo ’s bright smile looked somewhat decadent and Cale started to get goosebumps.

He felt as if he was looking at a slightly crazier Clopeh Sekka.
Human! His eyes don’t seem normal!

‘I know.
He looks like someone who has gone crazy.’ Oh, by the way, human! Your blood smells fishy! It doesn ’t seem very good! Don ’t pour out your blood!

Cale ’s expression seemed to be asking where such a crazy bastard came from, regardless of what Raon said.
Of course, Hannah and Beacrox looked completely flabbergasted while a vicious aura was coming out of Choi Han and Ron.
It was at that moment.

“What is this?”

Crunch, crunch.

From the other side of the boulder…
Someone started to walk toward them.
The person had some snow on their shoulders as if they had come down from the snowy region.

Shhhhh.

Red hair flowed out once the person removed their hood.
Rosalyn had a large cloth bag over one shoulder as she started to speak with a shocked expression.

“I came down because you didn ’t come no matter how long I waited.
You were here listening to some unbelievable nonsense.
Who is this new crazy bastard?”

She looked at Fredo and looked back at Cale as she asked.

“Young master Cale.
What is that?”
“…Uhh…a crazy bastard who is saying my blood is delicious?”

He really didn’t know how to explain.
