Precious [Trash of the Count Family x Child!OC]

*62*

-Timeskip-
-Location: Ubarr Territory-

Cale turned his gaze back to the ship and started to sigh.

“...Sigh.”

How did he end up with so many people?

Choi Han, Lock, and Rosalyn.

The kittens, On and Hong, were shaking because they were on water yet were adamant that they would come with him.

Hans, who was next to the kittens.

Eve standing beside him while clutching his pants. Her first time on a ship and she refused to let go of Cale. He only patted her hair.

Finally, Vice Captain Hilsman, who was completely pale because he was on a ship, Beacrox, who was observing Hilsman silently, and the ten Wolf children next to him.

‘If I get hurt with all of these freaks around me, that would be very surprising.’

Someone might even think he was trying to go destroy a kingdom right now.

- I like the smell of the ocean.

Why would he fear anything, especially with the Black Dragon coming along as well?

Cale gave an order to the group, who were all looking at him.

“Let’s go.”

Boooooooooooooo-

The horn sounded their departure across the Ubarr sea. The ship was disguised as a trade ship. Well, that wasn’t really a disguise.

‘It is a trade I am making after all.’

But it will naturally not be a fair trade. It would be very beneficial for Cale, but unfair for the other party.

- Human, do not smile like that. You look like you are going to scam someone again.

He could hear the Black Dragon’s voice, but chose to ignore it and enjoy the refreshing ocean breeze while holding Eve's hand. Just like that, the ship started to head for the Whipper Kingdom’s smallest port.

Later that night.

Cale was not sleeping but standing on the deck. It was close to midnight, so nobody else was on the deck, but the deck was lit up and the full moon made it not dark at all.

He was planning to meet some guests here tonight.

Cale leaned on one of the railings as he calmly looked out to the ocean. It was at that moment.

“Human.”

The Black Dragon revealed himself and approached Cale. There was no need to be invisible because nobody else was here right now.

“What?”

“I was just wondering...”

The Black Dragon seemed to have a lot on his mind. No, he seemed very suspicious as he blankly looked Cale up and down.

“...Is the name you are thinking of a random word?”

“What the hell are you talking about?”

The Black Dragon seemed very concerned.

“I feel like you will pick something like Black or Dragon.”

“Ah, your name?”

The Black Dragon was talking about his name. Cale made a very serious expression at the 4-year old’s very concerned question.

“...Is a name like that not very good?”

Cale’s expression was very serious. The Black Dragon had not seen Cale look so serious for a while now. The Black Dragon’s eyes started to shake as he urgently responded.

“Not at all! I am fine with anything! It is fine as long as you give me a name, human! Do not worry!”

His wings were fluttering rapidly, and his tail was shaking as he strongly appealed to Cale. Cale’s expression instantly turned normal like he was never serious at all.

“Then I am glad.”

He then casually continued on.

“Raon, Eve, On and Hong would have been sad if they heard what you said.”

Silence suddenly filled the area.

“...Human, what did you just say?”

Cale had actually thought a lot about the Black Dragon’s name, contrary to the Black Dragon’s expectation. A name was a special thing given to someone. For Kim Rok Soo who had to live on his own, the only thing that was given to him by his parents was his name.

“Your first name is Raon.”

Raon. It meant joyful in pure Korean.

“And your last name is Miru.”

Miru. Pure Korean for Dragon.

Joyful Dragon. It was a funny name, but Cale had come up with it with full sincerity. He was worried that Choi Han might be suspicious of a pure Korean name, but he had come up with an excuse for that as well.

A calm voice reached the Black Dragon’s ears. However, The Black Dragon had never seen such an expression on Cale’s face before. A calm smile was on Cale’s face right now.

“I came up with this name in the hopes that you will be happy and live a joyful life.”
