Trash of the Count's Family

The Fourth Imperial Prince sighed after noticing that everybody around them heard what his subordinate had said.

"The walls of the Imperial Palace?”

He pointed outside the terrace window.

“But it looks like a palace is blowing up over there?”

Cale's eyes clouded over.

‘He’s completely different?’

The bastard, who looked like the typical trash prince just moments ago, was calm right now. In fact, he seemed cold-hearted. Cale realized that everybody other than the Second Imperial Princess and the First Imperial Prince were looking at the Fourth Imperial Prince.

‘I guess the Imperial family already knew that the Fourth Imperial Prince was like this.’

The subordinate saw the Fourth Imperial Prince’s gaze, took a deep breath, and responded calmer than before.

“I am uncertain about the current situation as I came over as soon as I heard the news, your Royal Highness.”

The Second Imperial Princess turned toward the Chief of Staff.

"Mr. Chief of Staff, what is going on?”

Cale could finally get a proper look at the Chief of Staff. He had no time to thoroughly observe the Chief of Staff as he had been focused on the Emperor and the patriarch of the Black Bloods.

‘Mm.

This person isn't a joke either.’

“Please don’t worry, your Royal Highness.”

The Chief of Staff's eyes curled up in a smile so that his eyes could not be seen.

Although there was an explosion inside the palace...

“All you need to do is enjoy the celebration.”

He was completely calm.

“They will not be able to get any farther inside.”

He seemed certain that these so-called Agents of Destruction would never be able to leave a dent in the Imperial Palace.

He seemed certain that this issue would be over soon.

‘But will it?’

Cale recalled some information the old priest gave him.

‘They started to appear approximately 30 years ago but they were not a major force at the time and definitely did not deserve the name, Agents of Destruction.

However, they started to get bigger at some point and started to attack the surviving areas to follow their conviction.’

‘They like to especially target the Empire and attack it.’

‘Our church thought at first that there might be some sort of connection between the Agents of Destruction and the Empire. We suspected that the Empire had created such an organization in order to control people and the continent, but...’

‘The Agents of Destruction have attacked the Empire the most since about five years ago.’

Cale had thought that a world like this was bound to have a group that believed that a new world would arrive once this world was destroyed. In fact, it would be weird if such a group did not exist.

Cale had asked for some more detailed information as he believed that the Agents of Destruction could end up being a variable in their task.

‘...We have heard that the Empire managed to capture some members of the Agents of Destruction. However, that information was never released to the public.’

‘Furthermore, we have still not learned who the leader of the group is or where their headquarters may be.’

‘That is why the Empire and the remaining kingdoms have allied together and sent people throughout the continent to find the leader of the Agents of Destruction.’

Cale looked at Durst, wondering how they managed to get so much information. Durst smiled and responded.

There is a petty official working in the Empire’s administrative offices and an attendant in the palace who are members of the church.’

Durst had added on.

‘They will help you out, oh esteemed purifier.’

The Imperial Palace was not completely enemy territory for Cale’s group.

However, Cale was surprised at the Church of the Fire of Purification's abilities that were greater than he had expected.

‘It’s amazing that there is someone who is willing to remain in the enemy lair despite the church being designated as a cult and its members targeted.’

‘...It is a method for our survival.’

The fact that the church had a secret safe house in the Empire had Cale believing that the church could be quite helpful to him.

Cale did not ask Durst for more details as Durst still had a lot to say.

It had not been time yet.

“We will resume the celebration.”

The conductor picked up his baton at the Chief of Staff’s comment.

The music would soon start again.

“I don’t think you can do that.”

The man with disheveled hair looked toward the Chief of Staff and commented.

“I don’t think you can stay true to your words about them not getting any farther in.”

The man with disheveled hair pointed outside as the Chief of Staff raised his eyebrow.

“Mm.”

Choi Han let out a short groan and moved in front of Cale while Eruhaben stood next to Mary.
