Trash of the Count's Family

Rustle.

Cale walked without any hesitation until he could see the Lake of Despair. The black knight who had guided him bowed before stepping back.

“It’s over here.”

There was a strong whirlwind swirling on top of the frozen lake.

Swiiiiiish— Swiiiiiiiish—-!

Getting past this whirlwind and going underneath the frozen lake would lead them to the Elf Village with the World Tree.

– Human! There are Elf warriors inside that whirlwind!

Those warriors were stealthily hiding to fend off these enemies who had infiltrated the forest and may aim for the lake next.

‘Either that, or they are in a situation where they cannot easily leave the whirlwind area.’

A situation like that would be where a difficult to handle enemy would be right outside.

Cale looked toward the person the Elves would have determined to be a dangerous enemy.

She was standing on the dry land near the lake.

“Long time no see.”

It was Count Hubesha.

She did not look back at Cale. Instead, she just quietly observed the whirlwind on top of the lake.

She was wearing black armor as she stood there with her hands on the handle of her sword that she had stabbed into the ground.

But the way she was standing straight without moving at all showed that she was still extremely tense.

“Yes, it has been a while.”

Cale slowly started to walk.

Count Hubesha.

She was one of the four nobles of the Endable Kingdom.

She was the leader of the knights on black horses and was someone who used ‘despair’ as an attribute, similar to Choi Han.

‘But Choi Han and her despair are different in their nature.’

Cale stood next to her as he started to speak.

“Did you betray the White Star?”

Count Hubesha quietly laughed.

“Getting right to business?”

“Are we friends or something where we should happily greet each other?”

“Hoo hoo. That is true.”

A small smile appeared on her face.

Neither of them was looking at each other. Hubesha stopped smiling.

“I haven’t betrayed him yet, but I plan on betraying him.”

“Your subordinates suppressed the forces of an allied kingdom. That is not considered betrayal?”

“That is too trivial to be considered a betrayal.”

Cale asked with a nonchalant expression on his face.

“Why?”

‘Why was she planning on betraying him?’

He was asking for a reason.

This enemy of his was saying that she would betray her boss. It was only normal to understand his enemy’s intentions, especially since he might be working together with her.
