Trash of the Count's Family

Due to its long history, the Roan Kingdom had a lot of palaces.

“It’s been a while since so many nobles have gathered together.”

One of the palaces that were only used when there were significant issues that impacted the whole kingdom was currently decorated luxuriously and welcoming people in.

People were busy chatting in this hall that was the size of most small outdoor plazas.

“…I didn't expect that the awards ceremony and the celebration would happen together.”

Most of the people gathered here were nobles. The people wearing luxurious yet dapper clothes could not easily blend in with the atmosphere inside this dazzling hall.

“I agree. I also heard that the entire awards ceremony would be broadcasted to the plaza via a video communication device?”

“Yes, his highness the crown prince said he wanted to share this joyful and glorious day with the citizens.”

The awards ceremony after the war. It was something that the Roan Kingdom of last year which had been at peace for a long time could have imagined. Furthermore, nobody expected the stuffy awards ceremony to end up being more relaxed by having the celebration along with it.

All of this was strongly pushed by crown prince Alberu Crossman.

“…I heard that the plaza was decorated like they do for a festival as well.”

“That is correct. I heard the crown opened up its reserves to pay for it.”

The crown prince had not just this hall but the plaza where people could view the awards ceremony decorated luxuriously for the occasion. There were also tents handing out free food throughout the plaza, letting the citizens enjoy as if it was indeed a festival.

“…F*ck!”

However, most of the nobles did not look happy.

“Father.”

“I know. I'm aware.”

The Viscount who swore sighed at his son's comment before calming himself. His eyes scanned around the hall.

‘…There's a lot of people here.’

The crown prince had asked for as many nobles as possible to attend. That was the reason most nobles came to the capital with their families. Of course, they could have declined to participate.

‘But who would do that?!’

Any patriarch of a household, well, any noble with a brain would choose to attend.

“…Huuuu.”

Many nobles were sighing around the hall. They were trying their best to smile, but many of them were smiling with their mouths while sharply scanning the hall with their eyes.

“It's going to be quite a headache now.”

The Viscount quickly bowed after hearing a voice.

“Count-nim.”

“No need for such greetings.”

The Count who declined the Viscount's respectful greeting stood next to him and started to whisper.

“Most of the Northeast region's nobles are here?”

The Viscount nodded his head with a stiff expression on his face.

“Yes sir, most of them are here.”

The Count and the Viscount. The two of them were part of the central nobles faction centered around the Roan Kingdom's capital that was led by Duke Orsena.

The northwest region’s Marquis Stan. The southeast region's Marquis Ailan. The central region’s Duke Orsena. The southwest region's Duke Gyerre.

These were the four factions that had led the Roan Kingdom's nobles’ society until now. They were here to witness the creation of another faction, a very strong new faction.

“…The Ubarr household is here.”

The Count could see the matriarch, Viscountess Ubarr of the Ubarr territory, the location of the Roan Kingdom's largest naval base. The matriarch who was with her husband and her successor, Amiru Ubarr, was calmly chatting with other northeast region’s nobles.

‘Viscount Chetter and Count Wheelsman.’

Viscountess Ubarr, Viscount Chetter, and Count Wheelsman were the core of the northeast region’s nobles.

“…They are not here yet.”

The Count nodded at the Viscount's whisper.

‘Yes, the most important people aren’t here yet.’

Marquis Stan, Marquis Ailan, Duke Gyerre, and Duke Orsena. The leaders of the four factions and the only Dukes and Marquis of the Roan Kingdom were here, but most nobles were still waiting for someone. Even the Dukes and Marquises were waiting for someone. That was the reason they were all here earlier than the expected time.

“…Is it something like the main characters show up late?”

The Count sighed before he heard the voice of the servant guarding the door.

“Count Henituse and his family, now entering.”

The servant shouted the same way he had done for every noble who entered. The music that played when the nobles entered was the same and none of the royal knights standing guard gave any special gestures. The other nobles were still gathered in groups of threes or fives as well.

However, all of the nobles were looking toward Count Henituse and his family who were entering through the door. Then all of their eyes opened wide.

“Huh?”

“Hmm?”

Count Deruth Henituse. Next to him was Countess Violan.

There were specific rules and etiquettes about the order family members entered as well.

The family head and their spouse were in the front. Behind them would be the future family head, or the individual with the most potential to be the future family head. The ones behind them would enter in order of succession hierarchy as well. This meant that others were able to easily determine the family's current situation and their future based on the entry order.

“…Why?”

One of the nobles who were watching started to ask a question.

"…Why is that person in the way back?”

Count Deruth and Countess Violan.

Behind them were Basen, then Lily, and at the end… Cale Henituse leisurely walked in as the last one in the group.
