Trash of the Count's Family

Cale headed down from the sky and landed on the ground.

Morning had come and gone, and it was now noon.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah-

Woooooooooooooooo-

Cheers filled Cale's ears.

It was only a few hours since the beginning of the battle.

However, a lot of things had happened in those few hours.

Cale landed at the center of the Breck Kingdom's formation and met with someone.

“Commander Cale Henituse.”

It was crown prince Alberu.

Alberu could hear Rosalyn’s voice as he approached Cale.

“Tie up the defeated enemies!”

Defeat.

The enemies were defeated while they had achieved victory.

No matter how strong and numerous the Bear tribe were, they still could not handle the thousands of soldiers in the Gorge of Death.

It was the same for the Flame Dwarf tribe.

Tens of thousands of soldiers, hundreds of knights, and numerous strong individuals surrounded them all.

The only plausible result was a victory.

Alberu stood in front of Cale.

It was an easy victory.

However, he still wanted to enjoy this victory a bit. That was why he came to see the person who worked the hardest during the war.

“Well?”

The crown prince looked toward Cale and asked for how he was feeling.

Woooooooooooooooo-

Boom- boom-

The area was full of cheers and the stomping of feet. Alberu was curious to know how Cale was feeling right now.

He wanted to know the emotions behind that same stoic expression Cale always had.

“Your highness.”

“Yes.”

Cale commented with that stoic expression on his face.

“I’m hungry after being in such a cold place.”

“You emotionless bas-… Haaaa.”

Alberu barely caught himself and sighed.

Alberu Crossman, the soon to be king of the Roan Kingdom, and Commander Cale Henituse, the core player in this war.

The soldiers could not approach as the two of them chatted. However, they were looking toward the two of them with anticipation.

A bit away from them, the battlefield was full of cheers.

However, the allied headquarters did not have such cheers as well. This was because the core players at the center were quiet.

Alberu knew this was the case as well.

He put on a bright smile on his face.

‘Alright, snap out of it and do what you have to do.’

That was what Alberu’s gaze was saying and Cale immediately understood.

“Your highness, we were victorious.”

The commander reported to Alberu with a low but joyful voice.

The crown prince approached Cale and hugged him with joy.

The crown prince and the commander.

The sight of the two of them hugging made the soldiers become emotional. Seeing their usually cold leaders doing this made them truly feel that it really was happening.

‘We won.

It's finally over.’

The soldiers looked at each other and relaxed.

Clang. Clang.

Some of their weapons started to fall to the floor. Others lifted up their weapons into the air.

They then started to shout.

“Woooooooooooooooo-!”

The cheers of joy could be heard throughout the base. Even more people started to join in as the feeling of bliss filled the area.

Alberu recalled the Plaza Terror Incident in the past. He had done something like this with Cale then as well, but it wasn’t like what they did was as impactful as now.

They just smiled brightly and quietly mumbled to each other.

“You don’t want a medal, right? Should I give you money?”

“Yes, please give me another golden plaque.”

“For what?”

“To throw away, I mean, I need some money for something.”

He then heard Cale’s honest request.

“Your highness, I am hungry.”

“Haaaa.”
