Trash of the Count's Family

The second largest market in the capital located right next to the Alchemists’ Bell Tower.

“What is going on?”

A merchant who had opened his store later than usual and was currently setting up his fruits looked toward his neighboring merchant and asked.

“I don't really know either.”

The responding merchant shook his head. His gaze was headed toward the busier than usual entrance of the Alchemists’ Bell Tower.

Someone interjected into their conversation at that moment.

“Y, you know, it’s about that one thing.”

“That one thing?”

“Yes, that thing!”

The innocent looking young man with a muscular body started to speak.

“The Alchemists’ Bell Tower took children from the slums fifteen years ago while saying that they’ll give them jobs and turn them into alchemists.”

“Ah, ah. I remember.”

The merchant recalled something from a long time ago.

Fifteen years.

It was an extremely long time ago.

At least it felt that way for the people currently standing outside the Bell Tower.

“The families of those children seem to be requesting the guards to let them see those children.”

“Ah is that so? Have they not been able to see them this whole time?”

The merchant’s eyes opened wide as he responded back about this fact that he did not know about.

The young man, Vice Captain Hilsman, licked his lips before continuing to speak in his uniquely friendly manner that made him a social butterfly.

“Yes sir, that does seem to be the case. You know about Honte-nim, right? The Tower Master's disciple!”

“Of course I know. Who doesn’t?! Honte-nim is from the slums. The Alchemists’ Bell Tower is amazing and Honte-nim is amazing as well. That was a case of great results coming out from wonderful intentions.”

“That is indeed the case.”

Vice Captain Hilsman slowly started to get to work.

“But you see…”

The fact that the young man’s expression turned serious made the merchant as well as people walking by all start to pay more attention to him.

“Even Honte-nim's family could only see him from afar and have never been allowed to meet with him.”

“… Really? Why would they?”

The two merchants’ expressions turned odd.

“…I didn’t know about that. I didn’t know that that was the case.”

Hilsman exaggeratedly nodded his head at the merchant’s comment.

“Me neither! I didn’t know about that either! Anyway, there is apparently a reason all of those people went to the Alchemists’ Bell Tower to look for their family members right now.”

“What is the reason?”

Hilsman flailed his arms around as he exaggerated on.

“You know how a lot of alchemists went to the battlefield in order to fight against the Whipper Kingdom? They were worried about their family members, so they went to meet with them.”

“Ah.”

The merchant nodded his head.

He had wondered why they were all here, but that was an understandable reason.

“It makes sense to be worried after sending your family members to the battlefield. I'm sure it's been hard for them to sleep at night.”

‘Oops.’

The merchant who had said that without thinking flinched and turned his head. The merchant who was putting out his fruits did not have a good expression on his face.

His younger brother was participating in the Whipper Kingdom war as a soldier.

“Ahem, hem. But we probably don't need to worry much about it! Our Empire will win!”

The merchant looked at his buddy and quickly added on, giving the chance for Hilsman who had been waiting for an opening to strike.

“Of course. Would the Imperial Prince allow the Empire's citizens to die terribly?”

“Of course not! That would never happen!”

Hilsman turned his gaze away from the merchant who was unintentionally playing along and looked around.

He was not the only one acting like this right now.

Cale and Rex’s people were having similar discussions throughout the capital and observing what was going on.
