Trash of the Count's Family

‘Damn it! Fuck!’

Alberu Crossman immediately picked up the spear he had hidden under his body and kicked off the bed.

‘We were tricked!’

The person Choi Han’s sword was headed toward right now was not Deruth Henituse.

He heard the horn flute again.

Buuuu—- oooo—– buuuuuuu-!

The horn flute had distinct tones for different orders.

The one earlier was to announce the battle while this one was for charging forward to attack.

His body subconsciously flinched, and his gaze headed out the window.

He could see the Knight Captain pulling out his sword.

The other knights pulled out their weapons as well, while the mages were getting ready to cast an extremely large spell toward the Puzzle City plaza.

Alberu Crossman made eye contact with Deruth Henituse.

Smirk.

“I already told you. I said I was late because of taking care of some things after the meeting.”

Deruth Henituse laughed.

Alberu realized it at that moment.

‘It’s the White Star.’

This bastard was the White Star.

He was sure of it.

He then anxiously had a question pop up in his mind.

‘…When? How?’

Since when had the White Star been pretending to be Duke Deruth Henituse?

Alberu had not noticed anything awkward from the Duke.

‘Cale Henituse said that Duke Deruth told him to take out his biological mother’s diary from her grave.’

That meant that it was highly likely that Duke Deruth had been himself when Cale left Puzzle City.

‘And it is also highly likely that Duke Deruth was himself when Cale saw him as soon as he came back from his meeting with the World Tree.’

Duke Deruth had brought up and asked about Cale’s trip to his mother’s grave. Since Cale had not mentioned it first, he needed to have that information in advance to do that.

‘Then it happened after that.’

It would be most accurate to say that the White Star took over as Duke Deruth sometime after that.

‘In that short period of time!’

Alberu and Cale were aware of most of Duke Deruth’s actions and movements since they discussed this feigning death strategy with him.

They didn’t try to find out, but it was something that came naturally as they were working together.

‘Duke Deruth didn’t go anywhere special either.’

Cale also asked Choi Han to guard Duke Deruth’s bedroom at night, in order to avoid any ambush or abducting attempts from the White Star.

‘When and how did he avoid our gazes?’

Alberu felt extreme anger boiling inside him.

‘I’ve been tricked. I lost.’

The emotion from those negative thoughts roared inside of him.

“Motherf-”

Baaaaaaaaaang-

The rest of the word was drowned out by a loud noise.

The shining black aura rising from Choi Han’s sword was fluctuating violently.

“How does it feel? How is it to be on the receiving end?”

The black aura was blocked by a burning fire sword that was about the size of a dagger. Deruth Henituse’s hand was holding onto that sword.

The man then calmly moved his other hand.

Baaaaaang!

A wind wall crumbled after being struck by beige-colored mana.

Clunk!

The windows of the room almost exploded open at the pressure from the attacks.

They could see what was going on outside a little clearer now.

As the darkness of the night slowly started to take over for the red sunset in the sky…

Shaaaaaaaaaaa-

The cold winter breeze blew in through the window.

“I went to each of their posts to talk to them. I told them that the Saint checked the crown prince’s condition and the reason his internal organs are a mess is because of the venomous aura within the monster’s attack. I told them that the monster’s blood was necessary to heal it.”

Deruth’s voice was carried by the wind and echoed through the entire room.

While that was going on, Rosalyn left ancient Dragon Eruhaben’s side and urgently rushed over to the Knight Captain.

“What is going on, Captain-nim?!”

“Magic Tower Master-nim. Have you not heard? I guess you might not have, as it was urgently decided not too long ago.”
