Trash of the Count's Family

Alberu looked at that smiling boy and started to speak again.

“We sure look terrible for having come to meet a mole.”

Cale could not say anything this time.

Alberu looked at him and nonchalantly continued to speak.

“Why do I have to crouch in the corner of a wagon while being pushed around by piles of rice straw?”

Alberu's cold gaze was directed at Cale.

“Especially as young master Naru-nim’s loyal servant?”

Cale kept his mouth shut.

He was choosing to use his right to remain silent.

Clack clack.

The wagon with the piles of rice straw and hay was continuing down the main road of Section 2 at that moment.

In a corner of the wagon that was covered in thick cloth… Cale was crouching while observing Section 2 through a small hole in the cloth.

“…I guess you are just going to ignore my question.”

Alberu was glaring at him while crouching in a tight spot as well.

“Ahem.”

Cale fake coughed at Alberu’s statement and avoided his gaze. However, he felt Alberu’s burning glare and ended up speaking.

“Section 2 is where the Deputy Chief Priest who is working with Duke Fredo resides, sir.”

“You’re suddenly speaking respectfully.”

“Ahem, anyway!”

Cale observed Section 2 as the wagon traveled across a major road and continued to speak.

“The grand assembly that took place in the White Star's castle… An extremely weird and suspicious motion passed during the meeting.”

“You told me about it.”

Alberu repeated the information he had heard from Cale.

“It was a motion from the Chief Priest, Marquis Gersey, regarding the priests in Section 2 conducting a large ritual on the last day of the festival, correct?”

“Your highness, the sun of the Roan Kingdom truly has an amazing memory.”

“Enough with the sucking up.”

Alberu sat next to Cale and looked out through a hole as well.

“Is my dongsaeng saying that that motion feels suspicious?”

“Yes, sir. Duke Fredo found it suspicious as well. Duke Fredo and I became certain we were right because the Deputy Chief Priest didn’t know about that motion.”

Cale and Alberu made eye contact.

“We realized that the White Star and the Chief Priest are planning something big for the last day of the festival.”

“Is the mole the Deputy Chief Priest?”

“As expected, you figured it out right away.”

“You said it yourself that the Deputy Chief Priest didn’t know about that motion.”

“I did.”

Cale smiled at Alberu who was easy to chat with and continued to speak.

"We can get to the Demonic race creating facility from Section 2.”

“Didn’t you say that it was located under Section 1?”

“It is, but the entrance is in Section 2. We go in through the Temple of the Demonic God that Chief Priest Gersey is the overseer for and the Deputy Chief Priest is the deputy overseer.”

Alberu realized something odd at that moment.

"A Temple of a Demonic God?”

‘The Demonic race is one thing and gods were another, but a Demonic God?’

“Shall I tell you something funny?”

Cale sighed.

“The Demonic God they serve at that temple is named Barrow.”

“…Barrow is the name you told-”

“Yes, sir. It is the last name of the first Dragon Slayer and the last name that each generation of Dragon Slayers took on after giving up their own last name.”

That was why, although the White Star's original last name was different, he took on Nelan Barrow's last name the moment he became the Dragon Slayer and ended up as Cale Barrow.

“Your highness, there is no Demonic race called Barrow. It is a Demonic race that will be created in the future.”

“…Do the citizens of the Endable Kingdom know about that?”

“Of course not. Well, other than a portion of the Chief executives, of course. They all think that it is a Demonic race that has been around since the beginning.”

“…Ho.”

There was a reason Duke Fredo had learned the name, ‘Cale Barrow.’

Of course, he claimed that he learned of that information through a mole he placed by Bear King Sayeru.

‘My son, for your reference, Bear King Sayeru and Lion King Dorph are not nobles like us. They are just the White Star’s subordinates. That is why you must be careful. They must be hiding a lot of different things.’

Cale recalled the information Fredo gave him and organized his thoughts.
