Trash of the Count’s Family Vol 1

The only thing that had spent time with him inside that dark cave. And the thing that made the Dragon half-blood go against the White Star’s orders for the first time and trick him.

‘…I tried to get rid of that black egg.’

He felt an emotion that could not be expressed with guilt nor regret after realizing that fact.

The black egg.

What did that thing mean to him?

A sense of similarity that they were both thrown away?

Sympathy that he got to live but the egg had to be destroyed?

Or-

‘…He was the only one.’

That unhatched black egg was the only thing that had spent time with him for his 900 years of life.

He could not turn back time to undo what he had tried to do.

The Dragon half-blood understood the weight of those words.

‘I’m done now.’

The Dragon half-blood had waited for Lord Sheritt and Raon Miru… The day he would see these two Dragons to tell them his story.

That was why he, who had no desire to live, forced some desire inside him to prevent his body from crumbling down.

And now, he was able to get rid of that last thing keeping him alive.

It was at that moment.

He could hear Raon’s voice.

“Hey, Dragon half-blood.”

The Dragon half-blood raised his head to look at Raon. 6 years old. The punk who was about that age was looking at him with very pure and clear eyes.

He was relieved that he could be this way even though he grew up tortured and chained. He was relieved that he grew up like this.

Raon hesitated for a moment before turning his gaze and looking at Cale.

“…You said he could not live much longer.”

Cale wanted to sigh at the things Raon was saying while looking at him with those clear dark blue eyes.

Cale could understand what was on Raon’s mind as he could not look at the Dragon half-blood and looked up at him instead. Human.

Raon then cautiously asked in his mind with magic.

Cale who was listening to Raon who sounded both chaotic and anxious looked toward the Dragon half-blood.

The Dragon half-blood was looking at Raon with shaking eyes and Cale looked at him as he opened his mouth to speak.

However, there was someone who started to speak first.

“Your body is completely destroyed.”

It was Lord Sheritt.

She observed the Dragon half-blood with a cold gaze.

“Now that I take a closer look, it looks like all of the Dragon’s powers have left your body.”

As Sheritt mentioned, there were barely any Dragon powers left inside the Dragon half-blood’s body.

It was because Cale’s white crown had sucked up all of his Dragon’s powers, his blood.

He still faintly had his light attribute Dragon power, but there really was nothing left now as he had used that remaining power to attack Arm’s second secret base not too long ago.

“And…”

Lord Sheritt-nim was not done just yet.

“Your original human body cannot keep up because you lost your Dragon power. The imbalance caused by being a chimera is causing your death. There’s also a power inside you that is the opposite attribute of your light attribute that should be causing you a significant amount of pain.”

That was what Choi Han had left in there during their battle at the Gorge of Death. This dark power known as despair was endlessly clashing with the Dragon half-blood’s light attribute in order to cause him pain.

The Dragon half-blood was listening to Sheritt’s blunt observation with an empty mind.

However, Cale could feel Raon holding onto his clothes even tighter.

‘…Haaaaa.’

Cale was looking at Raon who was looking at the Dragon half-blood with a significantly complicated gaze. Cale started to get a headache.

It was at that moment.

“…In your current condition, you’re going to die an extremely painful death.”

The Dragon half-blood responded to Lord Sheritt’s comment.

“It is not enough to pay for my sins.”

‘Aigoo.’

Cale was at a loss for words after hearing the Dragon half-blood’s response.

Lord Sheritt quietly observed the Dragon half-blood who gave such a response.

‘This is an extremely complicated situation.’

Cale found this situation quite complicated.

The Dragon half-blood had a lot of sins. However, in some ways, he had traces of Lord Sheritt’s child and Raon’s sibling. On the other hand, he was also proof of their family member’s death.

He had also tried to kill Raon, but they had now learned that he was actually also the person who had saved Raon.

The Dragon half-blood caused quite the complication for Lord Sheritt and Raon the more he thought about it.

‘…Do they want to kill him? Or do they want to save him?’

Cale looked at Raon and Sheritt to try to figure out what they were thinking.
