Trash of the Count's Family

Teaser

Cale did not open his closed eyes. However, Alberu did not say anything about it.

It was because he knew that he was asking for a lot by asking Cale to not just meet a Dark Elf, but to go to the Dark Elf village.

• There is an item I need you to retrieve for me. The Dark Elves helping me and I are all unable to move right now.

Alberu was busy getting stronger using the dead mana while the Dark Elves helping him were under disguise getting things done.

• I also need a human to go.

Although this item was made by an expert, it was a one-time use item that would activate as soon as it came into contact with someone who had even a bit of Dark Elf blood. That was why it was only possible to be transported by beings who did not have the darkness attribute, like humans or animals.

Cale slowly opened his eyes and leaned back onto the rocking chair.

“What kind of item is it?”

Cale’s casual posture was one that the king would probably consider treasonous, but Alberu could only frown.

• Sigh, why do I only have someone like you by my side?

“What did you say?”

• I was thinking about how I have such a handsome person like you by my side.

Crown prince Alberu chuckled like he found his own words to be funny. He noticed that his true personality started to show up more and more the longer he spent with Cale.

‘He knows my weakness.’

But ironically, that was the reason Cale Henituse was the only person he could trust. Cale had at least kept his secret for the past two months.

“If it is difficult for you to move right now, couldn’t you tell your subordinate to pick it up later?”

Cale knew that Alberu had many subordinates under his command.

• I wish I could.

Alberu let out a small sigh. He was currently secretly using the video communication device with the help of a Dark Elf mage instead of a mage from the palace.

• I need to go to the Empire.

‘The Empire? The crown prince of the Roan Kingdom needs to go to the Empire?’

Cale and Alberu made eye contact.

• The imperial prince invited me to a celebration hosted by the Sun God Twins.

‘Celebration?’

This was something that did not happen in the first 5 volumes of, ‘The Birth of a Hero.’

Cale did not know about this celebration.

However, Cale quickly understood Alberu’s situation.

The Sun God Twins were a Holy Maiden and a Saint who were said to be the embodiment of the Sun God.

They were the Holy Maiden and Saint that were always a part of any decent fantasy world.

“Mm.”

Cale was suddenly at a loss for words.

The Holy Maiden and Saint, who were said to be extremely good and treated as the symbol of sacrifice in normal fantasy worlds, were kind of special in, ‘The Birth of a Hero.’

Their level of, ‘good or bad,’ depended on the god they represented.

• The Church of the Sun God is the enemy of the Dark Elves. I am worried that the chances of them figuring out that I am a quarter Dark Elf is pretty high. If that happens, mm.

“A terrible situation would happen.”

• Indeed.

The Dark Elves were despised on the Western Continent. As someone who had even a portion of Dark Elf blood, he would immediately be removed from the crown prince position.

Furthermore, he might even die.

• Those twins would try to kill me.

Cale could not respond to that.

The Sun God, as the representation of the sun, hated creatures of the dark. It was because they roamed the darkness where he did not exist.

His way of dealing with these creatures that he hated was to burn them to death.

These twins carry the Sun God’s teachings, so they would definitely rush to kill him if they ever found out his identity.

That was their definition of justice.
