Trash of the Count's Family

Chapter 733

# Pushing forward too rashly (3)

“Who prepared this?”

Cale responded brightly to Alberu who asked with a stiff expression on his face.

“I did, your highness!”

It was so bright it almost seemed radiant.

Cale continued speaking to Alberu who was unable to understand this situation at all.

“The Chief of Staff left me in charge of this palace so I plan on working hard to meet his expectations. Your highness.”

He then smiled with a clueless look on his face as if he didn’t know anything.

The attendants from the king's kitchen seemed to be at losses for words while looking at that face.

‘I like this face too.’

It was a strong weapon that Cale had never considered. This kind of look was useful too.

“Ha!”

Alberu scoffed as if he finally understood before laughing as he sat down at the table. He then picked up his fork.

Peek. He peeked toward Cale before he started eating and mumbled to himself.

“This is going to make the Chief of Staff go crazy.”

He considered a few things in his mind before nonchalantly commenting to Cale while keeping his gaze on the food.

“Do whatever you want.”

Alberu didn't specify what this attendant was to do as he pleased. However, he couldn’t help but look at the attendant after hearing this response.

“Yes, your highness! I will do my job.”

Alberu couldn’t tell for a moment whether this punk knew something as he responded or was responding without knowing anything.

He stared at Cale with an odd expression on his face for a while before turning away and quietly mumbling.

“It’s been so long since I saw someone doing their job.”

“Excuse me?”

Alberu shook his head toward Cale who had not heard what he just mumbled. He had not said it for Cale to hear.

“It’s nothing.”

Cale started speaking again at that moment. He spoke quickly, as if something suddenly came to his mind.

"Ah, your royal highness.” (TL: So, Korean has different ways you can address royalty and it hasn’t made a difference in the novel until now, but it does right here so that’s why it is royal highness here versus highness for Alberu everywhere else)

The atmosphere sank at that moment.

It was the middle of spring. However, an extremely scary silence descended upon this warm room and made it feel quite cold.

Your royal highness.

That was a title only for the crown prince.

Although it might be different externally, there was nobody internally in the palace who called Alberu his royal highness.

The silence was broken.

"Ah, your highness.”

The attendant called Alberu properly, as if he had done nothing weird.

Alberu’s eyes clouded over at that moment.

‘It wasn’t a mistake.’

The attendant in front of Alberu was currently looking directly at him.

The kitchen attendants and royal servants who were behind the attendant could not see the look on the attendant's face. That was why they looked astonished and were holding their breaths.

However, this attendant didn't seem flustered at all.

Your royal highness.

He had not said that by accident.

He was simply making it sound as if it was an accident.

Alberu finally realized that the sharpness he had felt from this attendant for a moment earlier was his true self.

‘He’s hiding his true nature underneath this clueless face.’

He could not tell the true nature of this attendant.

‘Would you look at this?'

The Chief of Staff took a wrong step, no, he is going to walk right into a swamp.’

Alberu quietly observed the attendant who had called him. He made it look as if he never heard Cale call him ‘your royal highness’ in the first place. Cale added another comment after looking at Alberu’s calm face.

"There is no poison.”

“Gasp.”

One of the kitchen attendants who had his head slightly bowed urgently gasped.

“Pffft.” Alberu chuckled once more.

He knew that as well.

He knew that there was no poison in this food.

It was because this food was not supposed to come to the First Prince Palace.

That was the reason Alberu had immediately picked up the fork.

He calmly responded to the attendant.

“Get out.”

It was another order to get out.

However, the tone wasn’t as sharp as last time. In fact, it was just stoic without any emotion.

“Please summon me whenever you need me, your highness.”

Cale headed out the door after making that comment. The kitchen attendants and royal servants from the king's palace hurriedly followed behind him.

Click. The door closed and the most senior of the kitchen attendants quickly caught up to the leisurely walking Cale.
