Prologue excerpt:

//He was so fucking tired of it all.

As if he was seeing everything through a keyhole, it felt like he was watching everybody live their own lives, having fun and experiencing hardships, building families and enjoying their time alive, but he couldn't.

He was frozen in time, observing everyone around him from inside his fortified castle built from wall after wall of emotional protection.

It was lonely and tiresome. Was there a good way to escape everything? Any way at all? Perhaps.

'...I should just run away and live in the mountains. Nobody would look for me if I disappeared.'

Perhaps this was the best way.

'Yeah... Let's just leave.'

Late into the night, Cale Henituse packed a spatial bag, ate dinner with his family for the first time in months, and fled the mansion once the clock struck 10.

He wouldn't be returning anytime soon.//

Disclaimer: Some parts of this include dialogue/text from the light novel which I have edited and reworked to fit my AU. Credit for those parts goes to the author of Trash of the Count's Family, Yoo Ryeo Han.
