Trash of the Count's Family

TCF2-23

The Second Imperial Princess saw that the two of them had come alone unlike her, who had come with her team members, and started to speak.

“...But why are you alone?”

She was asking Mary, but it was also directed at the First Imperial Prince.

“…….”

First Imperial Prince Sanders didn't even look at the Second Imperial Princess and observed the wall.

‘Man, he really doesn’t seem human.’

The Second Imperial Princess kept those comments to herself. She heard Heni Wishrop's stiff voice.

"We decided to all investigate separately.”

Neither Team 6 members, Fourth Imperial Prince Noi and mercenary Zero, could not be seen.

“...Isn’t this supposed to be a team mission?”

“It would be good to do it together, but...”

The Second Imperial Princess and her team members saw the clear look in Mary’s spider web filled face.

Heni Wishrop, the woman with clear eyes, continued to speak.

It would be good to do it together, but Team 6 already...

“It has already turned into a mess.”

Mary told the truth without any reservation.

“...Uhh......”

Mary heard a shocked candidate’s voice behind her back.

The First Imperial Prince was looking at Heni Wishrop's back instead of the wall now. His gaze was showing his shock.

The Second Imperial Princess felt the same way.

“...A mess?”

“Yes. It is total chaos.”

The Second Imperial Princess wondered if this was a form of smoke screen for a moment. However, the nineteenth candidate in front of her seemed quite honest for it to be something like that.

And Mary was telling the truth.

Last night... The candidates of Team 6 got settled in their respective lodgings and gathered at their strategy room.

Fourth Imperial Prince had said the following.

‘You just need to do as I tell you. So, follow my orders.’

‘No thanks?’

Noi and Zero... One was looking down at the other and the other was smiling brightly as their confrontation continued.

It had continued for one hour.

Mary, who had shown up without Cale, sat and watched the two of them for an hour before finally speaking.

‘We will gather information separately tomorrow and meet in the afternoon to determine each person's role based on the information brought back. I think it would be a good idea to listen to the orders of the person who brings the most beneficial information.

‘...Hmph.’

‘Sounds good!’

Both of them had agreed with her method.

‘Looks like we will just be wasting a day. It would be good if you just listened to me.’

‘Oh my, our esteemed Imperial Prince is sooooo slick of a talker. Hahaha!’

‘You little bastard!’

‘Oh no, I better get to work!’

Both of them left the room after the conclusion was made while Mary remained in the room to contemplate whether the two of them had a good or bad relationship.

Eruhaben, who had been the only one to come with her, looked at her with an odd gaze.

‘What is it?’

Mary asked, sounding as if she was speaking to her subordinate, just to be safe.

‘It’s nothing, my liege. You just reminded me of someone I know very well.’

‘I tried to copy them.’

She tried to mix Cale and Alberu together and copy them.

‘That was wonderful, my liege.’

Mary had to hold herself back from smiling as she thought about the satisfied look on Eruhaben's face yesterday.

“…….”

The Second Imperial Princess and her team members looked at the happy-looking Mary as if she was weird.

‘...Does she prefer to work alone? Is it a good thing for the team to have no harmony at all?’

Second Imperial Princess Olivia could not fathom what was going on.

‘Sanders is looking at her as if she is weird too.’

Olivia had never seen the First Imperial Prince looking at anybody like this.

“Hello everyone.”

A knight walked over with a group of knights at that moment.

“Are you all here to go outside the wall?”

The knight in front was a Dark Elf.

“We are.”

The knight picked up a document and checked the list after hearing Olivia's response.

“Mm, candidate 1... All the way down to candidate 19. It looks like everybody who has requested it is here.”

Mary’s eyes turned toward the large door behind the Dark Elf knight.

The door was small compared to the wall, but the iron gate that was close to 7 meters tall seemed quite thick and heavy. It looked as if nothing could break it.

‘Mary, you need to go out and pretend to investigate alone during the day. Do you think that it is possible?’
