Drenched In Blood (Trash Of The Count's Family/Lout Of The Count's Family)

chapter 7

Even the other dragons were present. Rasheel along with Mila and Dodori had arrived earlier that day.

Needless to say they were angry beyond words when they heard what happened to Cale from others.

The people who dared to make an attempt on Cale's life were in front of them, they were constantly being tortured by dragon fear and auras the strong, terrifying people were emitting.
The trembling pitiful figures of the beaten up people on the ground in front of them would have been enough to melt the heart of someone in sympathy if they weren't the people who had tried to kill their own saviour.

The people in front of them were two vassals of Henituse duchy and their lackeys who they used to tamper with Cale's respiration aiding device.

Ron came forward before kneeling in front of one of the two viscounts. He truly looked like a predator playing with its prey with his sharp vicious gaze.

"You really bit the hand that fed you viscount. You must really desire death then "

The assassin said that in a calm gentle voice as if speaking to a little child while keeping a benign smile on his face. But it was enough to send chills down their spines.

Their end was already decided the moment they dared to do something to Cale but it's natural instinct to fear death.

"I-I didn't wa-want to do it!"

"Is that so?"

"Ye-yes! Believe me! I-"

Before he could say anything more he felt something cold touching his neck,it was a knife.

"You have ten seconds"

The viscount quickly understood that it was time for him to speak the truth. If he said anything other than that he would be met with death. But some people could be beyond foolish even while facing death because of their own wrong deeds.

"Viscount To-Tolz! It was viscount Tolz who told us to do it!"

"Ye-yes! He is speaking the truth! We were manipulated to do this! He blackmailed us to do this! We didn't want to harm young master Cale!"

Everyone watching was filled with burning rage again,they could already tell those people were lying to them. They looked ready to just kill those people. But they had to control themselves if they wanted to get more information out.

They were not only claiming that viscount Tolz helped them but they were also putting all the blame on him.

Viscount Tolz might have hated the Henituse family but he didn't do anything to them all those years. Why would he decide to do something when the Henituse duchy was stronger than ever? It was all a big lie to frame him and save themselves if their plan didn't go the way they wanted.

Ron faced them with a even more kinder smile. But his aura was even more merciless than before.

"Oh? Is that so? Thank for speaking honestly,we don't believe even one word"

The beaten up people who were smiling after the assassin had started to talk, lost their smiles again when they heard the last part.

"I guess since you are only spouting lies,you don't treasure your tongue. Isn't that so?"

That was the last thing the viscount who had spoken first heard from the assassin before his tongue was on the ground before him.

An ear piercing scream rang out in the dungeon but there was no one who felt any sympathy for him.

The people who were with him, especially the other viscount were trembling and sweating in fear.

They finally realised that lying to the vicious people in front of them was of no use.

Ron turned to face the viscount who could still talk and smiled at him again.

"Now viscount-nim, you have realised what happens when someone lies to me right?"

"Yes- yes! Please don't kill me! I will... I will only speak the truth from now!"

Later that evening Choi Han had contacted the emperor with Raon.

The little dragon would have gone on his own to take revenge after learning about the things they found out if Choi Han wasn't there with him.

After a few minutes the communication device was connected and the frowning face of the emperor appeared.

"Good evening your majesty"

- "Instructor-nim, Raon-nim did you find anything?"

"Yes your majesty. There was no was else aiding other than few other vassals of the duke."

"I will kill them all for daring to hurt my weak human!"

Choi Han took the baby dragon into his lap and caressed his head to calm him down. He could understand the dragon but it was not the right time to strike.

"Calm down Raon-nim. I promise I'll help you do that later"

- "Wait for a while longer. We will drag everyone related to this out of their hiding places and make them regret ever being born"

After a few days Cale's records were becoming milder,they weren't overwhelming as before. His body temperature remained the same but at least it stopped rising. Even then he still needed time to completely cool down and get better as crybaby started working even harder to get rid of the symptoms. But that meant his heart was beating even harder that made his breaths come out faster.

Unfortunately for him that didn't look good to others. They were even more concerned about him.

It didn't help that crybaby was making him cough out the blood clots to protect his heart and brain.

(If you know,you know. If you don't,then you have Google lol)

Others were really losing all hope when his temperature stayed really high.

After a while Cale started to slowly wake up...to a device covering his face? And it felt nice?

'Huh?? I didn't know they had even medical oxygen here? No it's can't be medical oxygen, it's just clean air mixed with something. Mana?'

He then noticed the other devices he was attached to, it made him even more confused.

'Huh?...'

- Cale I'm healing you now! Don't worry!

'Okay'

After that he was so distracted thinking about the equipment and maybe he was also still a bit delirious that he didn't notice the other people present in the room.

"Young master! You're awake!"

To say they were surprised seeing him awake would be a understatement. But it wasn't in a bad way.

Cale then turned to the middle aged lady who had called him and...he was even more confused.

'Who is she and why is she here?'

So Cale turned to the only person he could recognise.

"Eruhaben-nim...haah hah... what- cough"

"Don't force yourself. I know you are confused. You are in a... critical condition right now you unlucky bastard"

'Huh????'

Unlike usual Eruhaben didn't help with his confusion but instead made his head spin.

He felt like something really troublesome happened again.

'Ah... I want to faint again...'
