Trash of the Count's Family

Teaser: Girl and boy walking up a stone staircase together.

Maple Castle was located on the western border of the Whipper Kingdom.

Shaaaaaaaaaaa-

Wind brushed past the top of Choi Han’s hood.

The chilly winter air was gone, and a slightly warmer air was surrounding Maple Castle, however, it still felt like winter at Maple Castle.

“So the king threw us away?”

“…Hey, talk quietly.”

“Why should I be quiet? There's no need. The only thing we trust are the things we accomplish with our own two hands.”

Choi Han who had been stealthily walking around the corridor stopped walking after hearing those voices.

It was not a regular winter for Maple Castle.

The king had chosen not to give a speech and officially declare war.

Thanks to that, the atmosphere around Maple Castle felt as if you were standing in the middle of an extremely cold area.

The people who had to face this coldness started to slowly show a single emotion.

“I will follow Commander Toonka-nim until the end.”

“Hey.”

“Forget the Mogoru or Moogoru or whatever they're called. Do you know what I had to do to get here? Aren’t you in a similar situation?”

“Of course I know. I know very well.”

A venomous intent. The soldiers were starting to turn evil.

This was only possible because the Whipper Kingdom's wars had originally started from a civil war.

“Oh!”

Choi Han and the soldiers made eye contact at that moment.

“Hello, priest-nim.”

“Hello, priest-nim!”

The expressions on the soldiers’ faces quickly changed to that of respect, as if they had never had that evil look in the first place. Choi Han slightly bowed his head to greet the soldiers before starting to walk again.

‘Choi Han, it's different than how I imagined it would be.’

Choi Han remembered what Cale had said on their way to Maple Castle. Cale had seemed to be happy about something as he was smiling.

‘I think the Whipper Kingdom's people are more rational than I expected. The soldiers are angry at the king and the Empire, but they don't seem to have gone crazy.’

Cale's eyes had been sparkling. It was as if he was happy that he had originally come just to work but now he could do it with more sincerity.

‘The Whipper soldiers are all properly trained warriors. Who do you think would win if they fought against the Empire’s soldiers?’

Choi Han looked back toward the soldiers who had greeted him.

Their hearts were full of maliciousness.

However, they had not gone mad.

They were all looking toward the future.

These people had won against strong enemies like the mage faction already.

That was why Choi Han had been able to answer Cale’s question without any hesitation.

‘The majority of the Whipper soldiers have less than two years of training. Their system is less than three years old and is awkward as well.’

The Empire’s soldiers would be properly trained in their system that has lasted through their extensive history.

‘But I believe that the Whipper Kingdom’s soldiers would win in a one-on-one battle.’

Training was important in a battle where your life was on the line, however, there was something else that was more important.

‘You're right. Choi Han, they have no fear.’

Cale agreed with Choi Han’s answer and happily smiled. Although Cale did not seem conscious of it, he seemed to be relieved.

Choi Han thought about that memory and raised his head.

The teleportation magic circle installed in Maple Castle.

This was where the soldiers had teleported into Maple Castle, but the Whipper soldiers who had personally felt the usefulness of magic were actively avoiding this area.

The soldiers chose practicality even when they knew it would make them inconsistent.

Paaaaat.

The teleportation magic circle lit up.

A number of people wearing white robes soon appeared.

“Long time no see.”

Elf Pendrick who was covering his Elf ears, as well as some of the sculptor assassin Freesia’s subordinates had come. Freesia and the Sun God twins remained at the Empire.

Choi Han looked around. The expressions on the faces of the soldiers lit up at the appearance of new priests. They were even happier knowing that Pendrick, a priest with healing abilities, was coming.

Choi Han started to speak to Pendrick and Freesia’s subordinates.

“Please follow me.”

The people who were here as priest to heal the soldiers followed behind Choi Han.

Tap, tap.

Choi Han walked down the stone path toward the castle wall as he thought about his conversation with Cale.

‘Do I not need to do anything during this war?’

Choi Han could not reveal his black aura.

‘Why wouldn't you do anything?’

Cale who was in his priest robe responded back with a shocked expression.

‘Is saving people not work?’
