Trash of the Count's Family (201-400)

Chapter 251 - 3 Days (2)

'There were traces of it.'

Those words made Cale not want to waste any more time.

It was just 3 days.
It was a long yet short amount of time.

"I will listen to the explanation on the way."
"Sure."

Cale wrapped Raon back up in the bundle of blankets and held him in his arms. Since Eruhaben was there, they could immediately teleport to the Eastern continent.
Eruhaben looked toward the entrance and started to speak at that moment.

"The crown prince is here."

Cale soon heard someone rustling outside the tent. Now that he thought about it, although Choi Han and the others had a decent idea about Cale's situation, crown prince Alberu will find it odd that he suddenly did not go with them.

"Can I come in?"

He could hear Alberu's voice outside the tent. Cale, who was holding Raon, looked toward Eruhaben who went to the entrance and opened the flap.
Alberu flinched after seeing Eruhaben.

It was the knight with white gold hair that had come as Cale's guard when the four kingdoms and the one Beast people tribe had first solidified their alliance. He could not help but flinch as he had not heard that this person had arrived.

He heard Cale's voice from inside the tent at that moment and turned away from Eruhaben.

"Your highness, I hope that only you come in."
"That was the plan."

Alberu was already walking into the tent alone. He knew secrecy was important if it was urgent enough for Cale to change his plans.

"What is going on?"

Alberu got right down to business. Cale preferred it this way as well.

'I guess it is about time I told him.'

Cale briskly walked up to Alberu.

"What are you doing?"

Alberu flinched after seeing the emotionless Cale briskly walking through the dark tent while being covered in blood.
However, Cale's next action made him completely shocked.

"...Huh?"

Alberu had none of his usual majesticness as he made that noise.
His pupils were shaking as well.

He could see the face of the creature poking out of the blanket bundle. The round and chubby face was quite cute, even with its eyes closed.
However, that was not the issue.

Alberu made eye contact with Cale when a calm voice started to speak from behind him.

"It is a Dragon. He is currently going through his first growth phase."
"...Huh?"
"He is six-years-old. His name is Raon Miru. It is a great name that I made for him."
"...Huh?"

However, Cale was not finished speaking just yet. He carried Raon with one hand while pointing toward Eruhaben with the other hand.

"This senior is an ancient Dragon. He is the eldest Dragon on the Western continent."

Alberu's eyes blinked a couple of times in shock.
He then lightly shook his head.

'Am I tired?
Did I not sleep well for the past few days?'

Crown prince Alberu had been hearing about the battle while settling the formations of troops.
He thought that one of Cale's people would be best to hear the story from and thus called over the freest person from Cale's group.

That, 'freest person,' was none other than Hilsman, the Vice Captain of the Henituse territory's Knights Brigade.

Alberu could not help but wonder why he was tired after hearing about the battle from Hilsman.
