Trash of the Count's Family

“…Young master Cale-”

There is a path.

Rosalyn thought about that phrase and slowly called out to Cale. Cale gave a short response back to her.

“We just need to find a path.”

They just needed to find a path into Section 7.

There was bound to be a path for them to use.

A smile appeared on Rosalyn’s face to remove her bitter expression. She slowly started to speak.

“I've been waiting for you to say that.”

“There is a path, isn't there?”

Cale immediately followed up with that question. His gaze was saying something to Rosalyn.

‘I'm sure that you would have found one.’

Rosalyn’s smile became even bigger.

“Of course.”

‘As expected of Rosalyn.’

Cale started to smile as well.

“The smart Rosalyn and the human are smiling like when he is chatting with the crown prince!”

He ignored Raon's comment. He just petted Raon's bumpy back as he started to speak again.

“But it looks like there is an issue.”

They had found a path, but there was a problem.

Rosalyn nodded her head and pointed down to the ground as she responded back.

“Let’s head down first and then chat.”

Section 8 of the Jungle.

It was located right under Section 7 where the palace was located, but not that many people lived in this section.

However, there were more people here today than ever before.

Shhhh- shhhhh-

Cale turned his head after hearing someone sharpening their sword.

One of the warriors was leaning on a tree while sharpening his blade.

‘Vicious.’

It was not just him.

The Jungle was a place where there were a lot of trees, as well as many vines and branches intertwined throughout. There were small paths for people to walk through, but the majority were not proper roads but were instead covered with trees and foliage.

The Jungle people were able to easily traverse through those rough terrains and the Jungle warriors were the strongest of those people.

Many warriors were giving off a vicious presence as they leaned on the trees or sat on the dirt or grass as they were maintaining their weapons.

“Roooooar!”

“Grrrrrr.”

He could also see some of the warriors’ animals who were their friends and methods of transport.

He could hear the invisible Raon's voice. Human! Everybody here is angry! They look ready to destroy everything!

Venomous aura seemed to be coming from many places.

Cale couldn’t help but cower whenever the brown-skinned Jungle warriors showed their vicious eyes from the shadows of a tree.

“It’s over here.”

Cale turned his head after hearing Rosalyn's voice. Rosalyn opened the flap of a tent.

He could see what was going on inside.

“Cale-nim!”

“Young master-nim.”

Choi Han and Mary both jumped up.

Grrrrr-

A large black panther rushed over and rubbed his head on Cale. It was Litana’s black panther, Ten.

‘…Ah, so scary.’

Cale lightly patted the black panther Ten’s head before approaching the person who was sitting at the table and looking at him with a sad expression on her face.

“Long time no see, Miss Lina.”

“Young master Cale.”

Litana, the Queen of the Jungle.

She seemed so worn down and pale.

“Are you okay? I heard that you fainted. I'm sorry to call you here right away.”

Litana asked with an apologetic expression after seeing Cale's pale expression.

The black-robed Mary moved next to Cale and observed him. Choi Han was just being quiet and biting down on his lips.

The other leaders of the Jungle could not say much either after seeing Cale's pale complexion.

Only a single existence was speaking quite a bit. But human, your complexion seems to be getting better ever since you made that water spear……! It's just that your strength is at the level of a gnat. Mm… A… Lot… mm…….

Cale ignored Raon and started to speak.

“The more important question is about the Jungle.”

That made Litana close her eyes before opening them back up. She brushed her face as if she could not hide her sorrows before starting to speak.

“It’s my fault for being late.”

“Your majesty-”

One of her subordinates called out to her, but Litana raised her hand and stopped him. Cale watched her eyes slowly open back up.
