Trash of the Count's Family

However, the expressions on the faces of the nobles listening to Cale and the crown prince started to be filled with different colors.

There was only one thing that these two could mean right now.

The Roan Kingdom wanted to take over the Empire.

The Ailan household was known as the leader of the Roan Kingdom's southeast region. The head of that household, Marquis Sand Ailan, saw the expression on crown prince Alberu’s face and gulped.

‘…He means it.’

The crown prince really was aiming for the Empire.

And he had called the kingdom's highest nobles here in order to express that desire.

‘No. He didn't only call us.’

Marquis Sand Ailan’s gaze headed to a spot about halfway between himself and the crown prince. Cale Henituse was standing there. He seemed to have already discussed everything with the crown prince.

‘This is bad.’

They had just finished a war.

The fact that crown prince Alberu was preparing for another war made Marquis Sand Ailan unable to determine how the state of affairs of the continent would flow from here.

Furthermore, wasn’t this supposed to be the crown prince who cherished his people?

He had just told the citizens that the war was over and that they could greet spring. That meant that the war against the Empire would go in a different way than the war against the Indomitable Alliance.

‘However, those things aren’t the main issues.’

The real reason that Marquis Sand Ailan thought it was bad. That reason was making his mouth completely dry.

‘The Roan Kingdom is not weak.’

The bad part was that this war against the Empire did not seem impossible.

The growth of the Mage Brigade and the Navy, as well as the overall growth of the knights’ morales. All of these showed that the Roan Kingdom was already one of the Western continent’s strongest kingdoms.

Furthermore, they also had a sword master and many other strong individuals who were a kingdom's important keys for success.

Although many people did not know about this next topic because the news had not spread, but the crown prince has been pressuring temples for a while and setting the foundations to bring the necromancer and the Dark Elves into the kingdom.

Crown prince Alberu Crossman truly showed the strength of the survivors very well.

He had shown it by surviving when he had no strong supporters after he had lost the king's favor.

The people who had been his stronger supporters were the Henituse household and the northeast region's nobles who had been the central figures in this past war.

Marquis Sand Ailan was unable to do anything during this past war. In fact, the influence of the southeast region’s nobles had decreased, putting him in a bad situation.

‘However, no matter how strong the Roan Kingdom has become, fighting against the Empire is a different issue.’

It meant something to touch the Empire that had long been the Western continent’s ruler.

Marquis Sand Ailan's mind became complicated.

Actually, his heart was even more complicated.

‘The bad thing is that I keep thinking that it is possible.’

No matter how terrible he had been in the political side, he was the Roan Kingdom's leader of martial arts after all. Which expert, especially a sword master, would want to suppress his own powers in front of a large-scale war?

‘Defending,’ against the Indomitable Alliance and, ‘attacking,’ the Empire were extremely different from one another.

The fact that the Roan Kingdom was in a place where it could launch an attack made his heart excited.

‘It also creates an opportunity for each faction’s nobles.’

Marquis Sand Ailan looked toward Duke Orsena, who represented the central faction.

Both Marquis Ailan and Duke Orsena were known to not be part of the crown prince’s faction. Their influence was decreasing as the Roan Kingdom’s name became better known.

Gaining merit in the war against the Empire was their chance to find a shortcut in order to retrieve their lost influence.

Marquis Ailan had a bitter smile on his face as he looked toward crown prince Alberu.

‘The crown prince probably invited all of us here while aiming for this.’

He was scared of the crown prince’s strategic mind.

However, that bitter smile soon disappeared.
