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

Chapter 293 - Playing the drums and the janggu (Doing everything) (3)

Cale needed to use his time wisely in order to deal with this obvious statement.
He was standing on top of the tower of one of Maple Castle's castle walls and looking out.

"Comman, no, priest-nim."
"Ah, Chief Harol."

Cale pointed to the person next to him as Chief Harol approached.

"This is Guardian Knight Sir Clopeh."

"Ah."

Harol let out a gasp. He could see the white-haired man with a concerned look on his face.

This was the Guardian Knight of the North who was the symbol of the defeated Indomitable Alliance. It was already well-known that he had decided to serve the Roan Kingdom.
However, Chief Harol still could not help but be anxious around him.

'A sword master. He is also the captain of the Wyvern Knights Brigade.'

Although this Guardian Knight may have fallen because of the Roan Kingdom, no, the Henituse territory's miracle-like strength, his strength was real.
Harol respectfully greeted this strong individual who came to help the Whipper Kingdom.

"It is an honor to meet you, Guardian Knight-nim."

Harol could see Clopeh Sekka smiling back at him. Clopeh's smile had the class and elegance of a knight such that Harol could not help but gasp.
Clopeh seemed to have even more class than their prisoner, Duke Huten.
He was finally able to understand why the people of the Paerun Kingdom held their Guardian Knight in such high regard.
That sacred knight slowly started to speak.

"How could my lowly self say no to the great and mighty Cale-nim's request?"

Harol flinched.
Clopeh didn't care as he smiled brightly and continued to speak.

"In fact, I am extremely happy that I can assist him in creating his legend."

'Legend?'

Chief Harol's pupils started to shake. However, Clopeh's gaze was as firm as a boulder.

"For me to have to pretend to be Cale-nim...My heart is beating fast just thinking about how my name will go down as a part of his legend."

Harol's endlessly shaking pupils headed toward Cale.
However, Cale avoiding his gaze made Harol contemplate things before finally starting to speak again. He truly seemed like a chief who was serving a troublemaker like Toonka.

"The Whipper Kingdom is just thankful that someone like you, who is a sword master and the captain of the Wyvern Knights Brigade, has come to help us."

"Heh."

Harol suddenly heard laughter.
Harol's eyes opened wide as he looked back toward Clopeh. The Guardian Knight lifted up his hand that was not holding a staff and started to speak.

"I apologize. I suddenly felt the need to laugh."

Clopeh barely managed to hold back his laughter that kept coming back and apologized to Harol. Harol was about to get upset, but calmed himself down after seeing Clopeh looking extremely apologetic and Cale looking at Clopeh as if he was stupid.

Clopeh and Cale made eye contact at that moment.
Clopeh recalled the conversation he had with Cale through the video communication device yesterday.

'Clopeh, the people of the Western continent still believe that you are a sword master and can control the wyverns. Isn't that right?'

'I knew it! Just as I suspected!'

Clopeh could not hide his joy.

He could not use aura anymore.
It was because of these ticking time bombs he had as arms and legs.
As for controlling the wyverns?
That was a lie that they had spread throughout the continent from the beginning.
