Trash of the Count's Family

The three unexpected guests came into the room without caring about the fact that Alberu was sighing.Hey crown prince! I'm here too! Give me some cookies if you have any! I'll pay you for them! The human gave me a ton of allowance! He gave me everything he owed while he was unconscious!

All three of them had come through the window.

“… Aigoo, my head.”

Alberu clutched his head.

Click. Choi Han closed the window and Raon revealed himself.

“Hey crown prince, why does your head hurt? You can’t get sick! Oh, you must be looking shabbier than usual because you are sick!”

The corners of Alberu’s lips twitched.

Cale sat down on the couch with a calm expression on his face. He was acting as if it was his own house.

“Raon. Everybody looks like that if they're suddenly woken up while sleeping. His highness must have been extremely busy as the sun of our Roan Kingdom. He must have barely found some time to take a quick nap so it's normal to look a bit scattered.”

He then smiled brightly toward Alberu.

“Of course, even your shabby appearance is extremely radiant, your highness. Isn't that right, Choi Han?”

Choi Han just slowly avoided Alberu’s gaze instead of responding.

It was because of Alberu’s gaze.

‘Choi Han. At least you would give me a normal response, right?’

That was what Alberu’s gaze was saying.

Alberu sighed at Choi Han avoiding his gaze and got up from the bed and walked over to the couch.

“I had them put some here just in case but I didn’t expect it to actually be needed.”

He placed a box of cookies onto the table.

“You really barged into my bedroom.”

“You seem oddly shocked about it, your highness.”

“Hey crown prince, here’s 1 silver! This is mine! Hehe!”

Crunch crunch.

The sound of Raon crunching on cookies filled the bedroom.

Cale crossed his legs and calmly started to speak.

“Raon said that the palace’s barrier is quite strong.”

“It needed to be when considering that our enemy is the White Star.”

Alberu brushed back his disheveled hair.

“…We made it so that the barrier would not activate for certain people.”

Those people were trustworthy allies such as Cale.

It would be a problem if their allies could not reach the throne room in times of emergency because of the barrier.

“Anyway, why are you here? What happened now?”

Alberu's gaze had turned serious.

“I recall you telling me that you would come to the capital tomorrow morning.”

Yet Cale had barged in during the middle of the night.

It must be something big.

“Your highness. Duke Fredo arrived at our territory in critical condition.”

“Mm.”

Alberu held back a groan.

Cale's face was stiff as well.

"According to Duke Fredo, the White Star is planning on conducting two summoning rituals.”

“Two?”

Alberu realized the reason very quickly.

"The eight sculptures. The first summoning ritual must be to call forth the unranked monsters. As for the other one…”

Alberu started to frown as if he didn't even want to think about it before he added on.

“…lt is probably the sealed god.”

“Yes, sir. He wants to release the seal.”

Alberu touched his head as if it was giving him a headache.

The sealed god.

That god was called the evil god or the God of Despair.

The god’s attribute itself wasn’t that big of an issue.

There were bound to be evil since there was good. Similar to the Sun God who had cast away all races with the darkness attribute, those supposed ‘good’ gods weren't necessary god either.

‘The issue is that he is sealed because he broke a rule. He’s also deeply associated with the White Star.’

Alberu didn't like the sealed god based on the test he gave Cale.

Furthermore, Alberu didn't like anything that could harm his Roan Kingdom, whether it was a monster or a god.

“Both summoning rituals will take place in Puzzle City?”

He was also extremely annoyed that all of these things would happen on the Roan Kingdom's territory.

"Duke Fredo was unable to figure that out. The only information he got was that the White Star’s side is planning on coming to Puzzle City.”

Alberu suddenly had a confused expression on his face.

“Cale.”

“Yes, your highness.”
