Trash of the Count's Family

“Hyung-nim!”

Cale's steps were so quick that Basen had to rush after calling out to him.

“Young master-nim!”

Deputy Butler Hans came from the other side and started to walk right next to Cale. They didn't greet each other even after not having seen each other for a while.

“Hans, is that the alarm I think it is?”

“Hyung-nim!”

Basen walked up as well and started to speak before Hans.

“We are currently installing magic devices throughout the territory.”

Cale had heard about it from Ron earlier.

“Although the alarms were only used by scouts or knights who noticed enemies invading, it is different now. Some of the magic devices we have installed react when special powers such as magic or aura are detected to be acting abnormally.”

Magic, aura… Or similar types of power.

“It would naturally be difficult to detect if a highest-grade mage or sword master hides their powers but it will detect it from anybody under those levels. Of course, anybody releasing their strength will be immediately discovered.”

Hans nodded his head at Basen's explanation.

“That’s right! They are quite the sensitive magic devices as the little young master-nim mentioned.

Hans was breathing heavily after having quickly walked over but thoroughly answered Cale’s question.

“Furthermore, the alarm level is dependent on the level of strength that was discovered!”

“Then is this the highest level?”

Hans gulped after seeing the cold gaze on Cale's face.

“Yes sir! Young master-nim! This is the highest level alarm!”

‘…Who the hell is trying to invade our territory?’

Cale's eyes looked as if they were on fire.

‘Is it the White Star?

Or maybe it is his subordinate bastards?

Who could it be?

Who is here because they want their lives to be over?’

Cale did not share those thoughts out loud and calmly asked another question.

“The magic devices are that sensitive now?”

They had no idea when someone might try to attack the Henituse territory. This device was quite useful for that.

“Young master-nim, did you forget where this is?”

“Where is it?”

Cale brusquely responded back, making Hans start to smile.

“This is the current strongest kingdom when it comes to magic. This is the Roan Kingdom.”

With the new Magic Tower not yet built… Rosalyn and the other skilled mages were all staying in the Roan Kingdom.

There was also kingdom-wide support for magic with the crown prince at the center of it.

“Magic devices are becoming more advanced by the minute. Rosalyn-nim’s influence is especially big.”

The moment Hans mentioned Rosalyn, Cale thought about some individuals that Hans and Basen did not know.

There were three friends and mentors helping her.

Raon, Eruhaben, and Sheritt.

The three of them were most likely helping with her research.

The corners of Cale’s lips twisted up.

“…No wonder his highness didn't seem to be complaining.”

There were chances that the White Star might come to Puzzle City at any moment.

Alberu would not have only believed in Cale.

He would have believed in the Roan Kingdom as well. He would have had faith that they had the foundations set to fight against the White Star.

"Does that mean that this alarm only reacts to special powers?”

Wiiiiiiiiiing- Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiing-

The alarm echoed throughout the building.

“Yes! Hyung-nim! There are a total of five places with the devices completely installed so someone from the Lord’s Castle will soon let us know where the alarm originally from!”

They would know from which direction the intruder was coming.

It was quite useful.

Hans looked extremely proud.

“This is something that is only possible in a territory with as much wealth as the Henituse territory! These magic devices cost so much that someone would need a mountain of gold to pay for it!”

‘A mountain?

A mountain of gold?’

Cale flinched after hearing about a ton of money despite the urgent nature while Basen calmly mumbled as he stepped in front of Cale.

“It is only one mountain and not five mountains of gold, it's not very expensive.”

This made Cale think that the Henituse household had enough wealth to form five mountains of gold but looked forward after hearing Basen shout a command.

They were in front of the door.

“Open the door!”

Their staff quickly opened the door.

“Huff. Huff!”

They could see a soldier running toward them.

Hans pointed toward the soldier.

“Young master-nim, that person is the messenger- eek! Young master-nim!”

“I'm going first.”

Cale quickly rushed past him.

Hans could see how Cale, who was wearing than him, was able to move so quickly.

There were whirlwinds surrounding both of his feet.

“I as well.”

“Meeeeeow!”

“Meeow!”I'm going first too!
