Trash of the Count's Family (401-600)

Chapter 402 - Alright, this is the beginning (4)

"Why are you not saying anything?"
– ...Haaaa.

Rosalyn could only sigh after hearing Cale's question.

– Is this what you meant when you said you were going to procure magic stones?

Both Cale and Raon started to chuckle.

"Yes, aren't there a lot?"
"Smart Rosalyn! We have a ton of magic stones now!"
– ...How wonderful.
"We're also going to get more."
– ...Even more than this?
"Heh."

Rosalyn got the chills after hearing Cale's short laugh. She should be happy because they were on the same side, but she had an ominous feeling for some reason.
Cale didn't care and continued to speak.

"I already informed the Singten Merchant Guild leader. I told him he will receive a fitting reward if he gathers as many magic stones as possible."

Cale had received the magic stones from Plavin Singten already, but had coaxed him to gather more when they met again this time.

'Merchant guild leader, gather a lot of magic stones.'
'...Sir, I understand.'
'The value of those magic stones will be the value of your Merchant Guild's future and your own future position.'
'My very best! I will give it my all!'

Cale recalled Plavin's passionate expression with a satisfied look on his face. Rosalyn asked while looking at Cale's face.

– Isn't the reward for the Singten Merchant Guild leader going to prison?
"Of course."
"Mm."

Rosalyn did not say anything else.
The Singten Merchant Guild leader would probably gather a lot of magic stones after being seduced by Cale's words.
However, his reward will still be going to prison.
Rosalyn organized her thoughts before starting to speak again.

– It seems like a great idea.
"Isn't it?"

Chhhhhh-

Rosalyn lost focus for a bit while watching Cale move the magic stones into a different spatial pocket bag.

"By the way, did something happen?"

She only snapped out of it after Cale asked her why she had called.
Cale could see the grim expression on Rosalyn's face.

– Young master Cale, it looks like Choi Han is going to be late.

Raon and Cale stopped moving.

"Were there problems while getting Syrem's powers?"

Choi Han had headed over to the Roan Kingdom's capital with Eruhaben. He was planning on taking the three ancient powers in Syrem, the fake Dragon Slayer's possession.

Of course, it was true that this was happening earlier than planned because they had to change the plans at the Mogoru Empire.
However, Cale didn't think there would be any issues, especially with Eruhaben there with him.

– There were no issues with getting the ancient powers.

Rosalyn said there were no issues as Cale expected.
It was at that moment.

– I'll explain the rest.

He heard a familiar voice.
Cale could then see Rosalyn who was up against the screen move back.
Cale could finally see the scenery behind Rosalyn.

It was a bedroom.
He could see Eruhaben as well.

"Human! Choi Han! Choi Han is lying there!"

He could see Choi Han lying on the bed behind Rosalyn and Eruhaben.
Raon's short front paw was pointing to Choi Han.
