Trash of the Count's Family

Once they were around the white castle…

Raon’s eyes flashed.There are a lot of hidden forces around here.

Rosalyn and Lock closed their mouths.

Lock looked around before pointing to the roof of a building.

Nod.

Rosalyn nodded her head and Lock carried her before jumping onto the roof without making any noise.

Raon followed behind them while continuing to observe the white castle.It would be difficult to go through the main door! It would be easy if we destroy it, but the human said that we need to do things like this stealthily in order to smack people on the back even harder!

Nod nod.

Lock silently nodded while Rosalyn pointed somewhere with a calm expression.Oh! That’s a great spot, smart Rosalyn!

It was one of the numerous windows that had a terrace.

Rosalyn confirmed that nobody was around them before she quietly started to speak.

“That should be the terrace where the White Star’s bathroom is located.”Rosalyn! Did you get some information about the layout of the castle?

“Of course.”You really are smart!

Raon was smiling brightly as he waved his front paw.

Lock and Rosalyn shot up into the air and the three of them quickly headed toward the terrace using flight magic.

‘As expected, this place is suspicious.’

Rosalyn’s eyes were cold as she looked down at the ground.

‘There are many enemy soldiers stealthily hiding around the castle. I see the black knights as well.’

That meant that this place was important.

‘We need to find the sculptures.’

It also meant that the chances of the sculptures being here were high.

‘To be more specific, we need to find the sculptures and the place they plan on conducting the ritual.’

She peeked toward Lock.

He looked calm, unlike his usual self.

‘He’s angry.’

She immediately noticed Lock’s condition.

But she did not say anything.

She was angry as well.

Tap.

The three of them landed on the terrace without making much noise.

“There’s nobody inside.”

Lock peeked inside before pushing the terrace window open.

Shhhh.

It opened without making a sound.

They followed Rosalyn out of what they presumed to be the White Star’s bathroom and passed through the hallway while invisible.

All of the doors are closed!

There’s nobody inside the rooms!

…There is nothing on this floor!

Raon’s voice was delivered to their minds as they quickly moved.

There’s nobody here even though there are a lot of people guarding the palace outside. The fact that nobody was in any of the rooms here including the White Star's bathroom meant that…

This place is very suspicious.

And where people are gathered…

Raon nonchalantly commented.That’s where everything will be.

The three of them soon received confirmation that Raon was right.Stop!

Rosalyn and Lock stopped walking as soon as they heard Raon’s voice.

Raon’s ears twitched as he looked off in a direction.

Sniff.

Lock took a sniff before his eyes slowly turned cold and they headed down the staircase toward a place that was slowly becoming visible.

The Grand Assembly hall.

This was the location where Cale had participated in the meeting with the White Star and the Endable Kingdom’s core individuals while disguised as young master Naru.

Crackle, crackle.

There were magic flames burning all around the hallway headed to the hall.

‘There are a large number of them inside.’

There were tens to hundreds of individuals lining up against the walls of the hall.

They consisted of…It’s the Bear tribe! The black knights are there too!

They consisted of humans, Bears, and black knights.Each and every one of them are strong. Of course, they are weaker than one of my snorts! Anyway, it’s obvious that the White Star's core forces are gathered here!

Raon's chubby cheeks were twitching as his eyes sparkled.

Rosalyn started to frown.

‘How do we get closer?’

Based on what she had heard from Duke Fredo, this hallway was the only path to the Grand assembly hall.

‘Would all three of us be able to get past without them noticing?’

They were currently invisible, but the enemies were still tightly guarding the hallway.

A small mistake might cause a big issue.

She could see Lock looking at her.

Lock silently mouthed something to her.

‘I will go take a look.’

He determined that it would be best for him to go since he was the swiftest.

However, Rosalyn shook her head.

‘If someone goes, it should be me.’

Raon had to stay behind just in case something happened, leaving her as the person who could react the most fluidly regardless of the situation based on her experiences.

Lock bit down on his lips after seeing Rosalyn’s gaze.

It was at that moment.

Tap. Tap.

A chubby paw tapped both of their shoulders.I truly am great and mighty!

It was Raon.

Raon pointed toward somewhere.

“Hey, Rosalyn, what room is above the Grand assembly hall?

‘Perhaps?’
