Trash of the Count's Family

“Crown prince, don't go nuts!”

Raon appeared in front of Cale and shouted happily.

Crown prince Alberu Crossman could not even finish frowning before he had to put on a gentle smile. Raon-nim, I will not really go nuts.

Alberu could see the corners of Cale Henituse’s lips twitching behind Raon.

He wanted to say something about that annoying face but could only sigh after seeing Cale's current appearance. Huuuuuu.

Cale’s expression turned odd after hearing that sigh.

Alberu didn't care before putting his arms on the table and clasping them together to put his chin on them as he started to speak. Alright. What trouble did you cause this time?

He was speaking gently, as if he was dealing with a child.

This made Mercenary King Bud Illis who was watching Cale and Alberu’s conversation confused.

‘…Why does he seem extremely annoyed although he is speaking so gently?’

Alberu’s face that was shining brightly even though he had just woken up matched the Mercenaries Guild's information he had read about the Western continent’s crown prince Alberu Crossman of the Roan Kingdom.

The Mercenaries Guild had a lot of information about the Roan Kingdom that progressed significantly due to the results of the multiple wars across the Western continent as well as Alberu Crossman, the man who was leading the kingdom.

‘The future king of the Roan Kingdom.’

However, the different information networks and people in power were currently confused about Alberu Crossman’s current actions.

This was the same for Bud as well.

‘Why is he not officially taking the throne?’

The Roan Kingdom was currently getting more attention than ever before and expanding significantly as a result of the wars on the Western continent.

Crown prince Alberu Crossman, the man responsible for leading them through all of these wars, was not taking the throne yet.

According to the special reports he received, the current king Zed Crossman wishes to hand the throne over to Alberu, who has declined it for now.

‘The reason he is giving is that the kingdom is currently unstable.’

Crown prince Alberu was saying that the aftermath of the war that impacted the Roan Kingdom and the Western continent was not gone yet, explaining that he wanted to only focus on the Roan Kingdom and nothing else until all of these instabilities disappeared and peace returned to the kingdom.

‘But is that the only reason?’

Bud believed that Alberu Crossman was not such a person who was willing to sacrifice personal gains like this.

He was more likely to be someone who would even use his wedding as a political tool.

‘I can tell that is the case based on how he removed the second and third princes from politics.’

Even while everything was chaotic due to the war, Alberu managed to remove the second and third princes from competing for the throne and completely shunned them from politics.

He managed to become the scary crown prince to the nobles but a benevolent star for the citizens at the same time.

‘Alberu Crossman naturally knows about the White Star.’

The crown prince knew about the existence of the White Star who was pretty much the starting point for the war on the Western continent, so he might be putting everything else aside until they defeat him and peace is restored.

That could be the reason he is pushing back everything including taking the throne and getting married.

‘…But my intuition is telling me that is not the case.’

Bud's intuition was telling him that was not the only reason for Alberu’s current decisions.

‘Mm, well, I guess he has his reasons.’

Bud stopped thinking about Alberu.

It wasn’t important to someone on the Eastern continent whether that crown prince got married or whatever.

As Bud expected, Alberu was not pushing everything back just for the sake of the Western continent's peace.

‘How annoying.’

Alberu waited for Cale’s response before starting to frown as he saw some documents out of the corner of his eyes and pushed them off to the side.

Some of his vassals tried to cautiously ask if he would consider taking the throne in those documents.

Some of them were talking about his marriage as well. It was because, while the third prince is still young, the second prince recently found someone he loves and got married.

According to the stories, the second prince accepted the woman's proposal, and they quickly got married as none of the royal family opposed the marriage.

‘…I do need to take the throne.’

Alberu wanted to be king.

That fact has not changed at all.

Once they receive the free city from the Mogoru Empire and all of Alberu’s preparations are finished…

That was when he was planning on taking the throne.

However, his mind was getting complicated as that time came near.
