Trash of the Count's Family

Chapter 711

The ones with the most complicated expressions on their faces were Eruhaben and Clopeh. Eruhaben was pushing his temples as he spoke.

“So, the bastard who stole your dongsaeng’s face and name is trying to cause chaos on the Western continent?”

– That’s right.

“Numerous life forms may die in the process?”

– That’s correct.

Eruhaben debated who he should trust. He looked at the Dark Tiger again.

‘This guy seems a bit more trustworthy.’

The black Dragon showed no signs of being brainwashed when he had inspected him inside the lair. Although the brainwashing could have been done with a superior ability that was beyond his level, but…

‘They’re unskilled.’

Their so-called allies, Choi Han the swordsman, Rosalyn the mage, and that one knight… They were strong for humans but they were unskilled and had many lacking traits compared to Eruhaben.

‘That little punk named Choi Han is an exception though.’

Either way, he could not easily trust anybody. The White Star who had introduced himself as Cale and this black tiger… Which side should he choose?

– There’s no need to choose one side.

Eruhaben looked toward the black tiger again after hearing a comment that sounded as if he knew what Eruhaben was thinking.

– You won’t find an answer no matter how long you contemplate it. Don’t you agree?

“…That is true.”

– Follow us to keep an eye on us. You’ll be able to tell which side is telling the truth if you keep observing us.

Tap.

Eruhaben’s finger that had been pushing at his temple gently tapped the table.

He had his answer.

“Fine. I will keep an eye on you guys for the time being.”

Eruhaben’s eyes observed each person who came to find him.

“How dare he steal the hero’s face and try to take the esteemed hero’s achievements as his own……!”

‘…Mm.’

Eruhaben flinched a bit while looking at Clopeh before looking at an empty chair.

Cale was sitting there. Cale motioned to Alberu with his eyes.

“Let’s go, your highness.”

– Yes.

Alberu nodded his head as he responded.

– Let’s go to the palace.

“Invisibility and soundproof barrier magic. Are those the only two that are needed?”

– Yes.

Eruhaben was looking at the cintamani in his hand while not looking convinced. He let out a short sigh and cast his spells.

The invisibility and soundproof barrier magic were targeted at two individuals.

Eruhaben and the cintamani.

“…Does your dongsaeng not need it?”

– As you are already aware, you cannot see or hear him.

“That is true.”

Eruhaben then spoke in a slightly annoyed voice.

“Then I have to do everything myself?”

– That’s right.

Eruhaben was currently in a forest at the outskirts of the Roan Kingdom’s capital, Huiss City.

To be more specific, they were in a small cave within the forest. There were all sorts of mechanical and magical devices installed in this cave.

– This is the secret passage. It is the secret passage that would take you directly to the crown prince’s palace.

“The crown prince should know about this as well if it is the secret passage to his palace?”

– I’m not sure. I don’t think he knows about it yet.

Alberu had to stop himself from having a bitter smile on his face.

Alberu had only known about the secret passages revealed to all members of the royal family at this point in time. It was because Zed Crossman had not told him about this passage.

The Alberu of this time had no idea that such a passage existed. He only learned about this passage after properly receiving approval as the crown prince, gaining power, and receiving a lot of things from Zed Crossman as a result.

‘So the me of this time would not know.’

Alberu’s face stiffened a bit. He heard a nonchalant voice at that moment.

“Shouldn’t we hurry? It’ll be daytime if we don’t.”

It was naturally Cale. Alberu let out a chuckle.

– Let’s hurry.

It was still night outside.

“…How did I end up with such an unlucky life……?”

Eruhaben wondered if he needed to sneak into the royal palace at his age, but ended up gently waving his hand. Alberu watched him before speaking again.

– Just so you are aware, this secret passage was built in the early days, so you will probably need to be extremely cau-

Click. Shhh.

The door to the secret passage opened as naturally as if the wind had pushed it open.

Gold dust was leisurely controlling everything.

Cale, who was watching, and Eruhaben, who had cast the spell, spoke one after the other.

“Wow. This secret passage isn’t much, your highness.”

“I am a Dragon.”

Alberu had a lot of things he wanted to say but held himself back and pointed inside the open door.

– Just go straight.

He then started to smile.

– You’ll need to walk for about an hour. There are a lot of twists in the path.

The passage inside the door was narrow to the point that they could only go in a single file line. This was to decrease the number of enemies chasing after the crown prince should he ever have to escape.

“One hour…”

Eruhaben nodded his head before raising his hand.

“Since magic works on your dongsaeng as well…”
