Trash of the Count’s Family

lights mixed together and the white light was gone.
More black light took over the area as he was slowly moving toward the final wrath stage of the illusion tests.

The test voice calmly continued.

– The indignity test.
I was able to send my voice across little by little starting with that test.

Cale took one step forward.

He was headed toward the black light.
Wrath.

– Please be safe and overcome everything.

The voice was stiff but had warmth to it.

Cale listened to the only thing cheering him on in this dark area as he moved forward.

– Ah!

However, Cale stopped walking for a moment after hearing the voice again.

The test voice was silent for a moment as if it was hesitating before it continued speaking.

– For your reference, wrath…

It did not say anything after that.

– Mm.

“Is there something you wish to say?”

Cale looked up at the air.

There was nothing there but the voice cautiously continued, as if it had felt his gaze.

– Mm.
For example, mm, I'm not sure how I can explain it to not go against the test’s rules.
Mm.

“Speak freely.”

Cale crossed his arms and waited.

It would be helpful if he could hear this.

Furthermore, this test voice had been quite nice to him.

– For example, let me explain it to you.
First of all, when would you say that you are the angriest?

“When I am the angriest?”

– Yes sir.

Cale was silent for a moment.

– Something popped into your mind, didn't it?

The test voice asked but Cale did not say anything.
The test voice continued as if it was nothing.

– That is what I plan on showing you.

“…What?”

Everything was covered in black light now.

Cale watched as his view became dyed black.

– Please.

The voice that had been oddly nice since the indignity test continued in the warm voice.

– Please despair.

The voice itself was a test.

None of the things that the God of Despair had created was an ally.

Cale sunk into the darkness once again.

* * *

And the moment he opened his eyes to face this final wrath test…

“I knew it would be like this.”

Cale could not hold himself from laughing.

The test suddenly became nice?

The test voice became warm?

Would people become relieved to hear that?

‘You should suspect such a thing.’

The sealed god.
That bastard fed on people’s despair.
He would try to eat you up if you showed any openings.
In that case, that bastard would be willing to do anything and everything to create that opening.

Cale had no reason to trust the enemy.

That was why when the test voice had asked…

‘First of all, when would you say that you are the angriest?’

‘When I am the angriest?’

The wrath test probably had to deal with doing something in that angriest situation.

Cale had only focused on one thought and nothing else once he heard that question.

The first thing that makes him the angriest.

‘When the children complain about the side dishes.’

Yes, that would make him very angry.

How could he not be angry if the children who never complain about the side dishes suddenly start complaining?

Cale did not stop there.
He thought about other times that make him angry.

‘I need to hurry up and get up but I keep sleeping.
It makes me angry when nobody comes to wake me up.’

He would be very angry at that.

He needs to keep lying down on the soft bed and sleep until he wasn’t sleepy anymore?

That’s so infuriating.

He kept thinking.

‘When I can’t think of anything to do.’

Yes, that would make him very angry.

He wants to play but the only thing he can think of is rolling around on the bed!

How could that not make someone angry?!

Cale thought about more things in case it wasn't enough.

‘When I have to keep eating ramen even though I want to stop eating ramen.’

He had eaten so much ramen when he was Kim Rok Soo.
He wanted to stop eating it now.
But if they told him to eat ramen again? And if they gave it to him with Yeolmu-kimchi that has fermented just right? And then they give him jjajang ramen after he finishes the ramen?

“Haaaaa.” Just thinking about it made him angry.

He thought of one last thing.

‘Work for the territory.
When I am trying to get administrative work done but they keep telling me to rest! That makes me very angry!’

Just thinking about it made him very, truly full of wrath.

Yes.
Those were the thoughts in Cale’s mind.

And this final test in front of him…

“Cale Henituse!”

Someone pulled away the documents in his hand.

As Cale had realized as soon as the test had asked that question, this wrath test was not from the memories of his past either.
It was a hypothetical situation.

The test pretended to be nice and offered its help to ask when he was the angriest, and Cale had come up with many different situations.

The results were visible as soon as Cale regained consciousness.

“You will have no more work! From now on and forever!”

“F, fat, sob, her.”

“I cannot listen to you any longer!”

Cale avoided his father, Deruth Henituse's gaze, lowered his head, and barely caught his breath.

Deruth could not hide his anger as he watched Cale.
He threw the documents that he took away from Cale.

Chhhhhhh-

The documents fluttered and fell to the ground.

“His highness said that he cannot give you any work either! How could this happen?! You will never be able to work again!”

‘Hehe.
Ah, this is great.’

This wrath test…

Cale was feeling excitement and happiness in this illusion.

‘This test is really good.’

“Get out of here right now! Do not come anywhere near the office or the Lord’s Castle!”

“…Yes, father……”

Cale barely held back his laughter as he walked out of the office.

Duke Deruth was huffing but Cale’s mind was light and at ease.

Choi Han walked over with a serious look on his face at that moment.

“Cale-nim.”

“What is it?”

“…Raon, On, and Hong are complaining about the side dishes.”

“Really?”

“Yes, Cale-nim.
I'm sure that makes you angry, but…”

Choi Han warily peeked at Cale as he continued speaking.

“Beacrox is urgently looking for you.
He says that you are the only person who can take care of this, Cale-nim.”

“Sure, sure.
Of course I have to take care of it.
Shall we go?”

Cale’s footsteps were light as well as he headed toward the Henituse Estate.
