Trash of the Count's Family

The white steps were creating a path to the sky.

It was wide enough for four to five people to walk up side by side.

“We will proceed with the first dispatch.”

Everybody turned toward Alberu after hearing his voice. He turned toward the steps and took a step.

“The members should walk up the steps now.”

The path to the temple.

Alberu Crossman took the first step toward it. The small number of people on this team started to climb after him.

Cale quietly observed him from the side.

“Isn’t this a great team?”

Cale turned his head to see Rosalyn observing the people climbing the stairs as well.

“Young master Cale.”

“Yes, Miss Rosalyn?”

“They all volunteered, so don’t think too much about it.”

Pat.

She patted Cale’s shoulder and moved forward.

Rosalyn was one of the people climbing the steps as well.

Cale raised his head and looked at the top of the temple. A blue orb was shining brightly.

Sadness.

The temple would first show the people who enter illusions based on sadness.

Cale was looking at the people who were climbing the steps, despite knowing that was the case. Litana walked up next to him with a stiff expression on her face.

“Don’t push yourself too hard.”

“I won’t. Time for me to go as well.”

The last person to put a foot on the steps… Was Cale Henituse. Nobody else climbed the steps behind him.

The chief executives nearby the steps… And the numerous eyes focusing on this area were watching the people climbing the steps.

The people on the steps did not look back. They only looked forward. They only focused on the temple.

Of course, Cale was an exception. He quickened his pace.

“Young master Cale, why are you in such a rush?”

“I need to speak with his highness about something.”

Cale walked past Rosalyn, who was in front of him.

Rosalyn.

She had volunteered to be a part of this first dispatch team. The reason was simple.

‘I am the human who is most skilled in magic. That means that I am also skilled in dealing with any unexpected situations. Furthermore, I have not walked an easy path.’

Her will must be firm after throwing away her position as the crown princess of the Breck Kingdom to walk down her own path.

The representative from the Breck Kingdom had originally objected to her involvement, however, he had to shut up after a single comment from Rosalyn.

‘Don’t you know my personality?’

Rosalyn was someone who liked challenges, but she was not rash. In fact, she was extremely rational and collected as someone who researches magic.

That was the reason she joined the first dispatch team.

“Oh! My close friend! Kahahaha! At least your face looks decent today!”

He ran into Toonka once he walked past Rosalyn.

He was the only representative from the other kingdoms who forced his way onto the team despite all others trying to deter him. The Whipper Kingdom’s executives at the bottom of the steps were unable to hide their anxiety.

Toonka nonchalantly commented to Cale as he walked past.

“Do you think that I won’t be able to do this either?”

“How would I know?”

He heard a brusque voice back. In some aspects, they really looked like close friends. Cale felt that way as well, and turned around.

Toonka looked into Cale’s emotionless gaze that was directed at him. Cale said something else at that moment.

“You would know about yourself.”

Smirk.

The corners of Toonka’s lips curled up before he started laughing out loud.

“Kahahaha! That’s right, that’s right! As expected, you know.”

Everybody who goes into this temple will see illusions that will push at their mind and their emotions. It was going to be difficult and dangerous because they need to get past their respective illusions on their own.

Toonka knew why everybody had been against him going with this team.

Because he is dumb.

Because he is emotional.

He may be put in danger or mess up the test because of those reasons.

However, Toonka believed that he needed to step up for those same reasons.

He wouldn’t think hard about things because he is dumb.

He was honest because he was emotional.

He thought that he might not receive as much emotional damage in such a test.

He was also one of the few people here with a lot of battle experience.

Battles were not simple fights. Wars were not just about fighting.

There were whirlwinds of emotions, especially with misfortunes. Toonka was someone who had persisted past those whirlwinds.

“Would I not know you?”

Cale said that sentence before continuing to walk. Toonka laughed even louder behind him, but Cale did not turn around.

Instead, he was walking past someone else at a brisk pace.

“Young master Cale-nim.”

He heard Clopeh Sekka’s voice behind him, but he pretended not to hear as he urgently moved past.

‘Why are we bringing this bastard along?’

That was the first question he had had after looking at the list of members.

‘Clopeh Sekka. Isn’t this guy wrong for this kind of thing?’

No.

Will the fact that he is crazy be a variable that helps him?

‘I still don’t think this is right.’

Cale tilted his head in confusion but managed to not turn around. That was why he had not seen it.

He had not seen the sparkle in Clopeh Sekka’s eyes.

“…I will record it all and spread it throughout the world.”

Toonka, who managed to hear him, closed his mouth and shook his head side to side.

“Even the gods cannot defeat crazy bastards.”

Cale, who had no idea what was going on behind him, met with approximately ten people as he walked past.
