Trash of the Count's Family

“My liege.”

Cale approached Mary.

"Are you okay?”

On the outside, Mary looked pretty much the same as she had looked when she left this morning.

The only difference was that the robe she was wearing was different.

“Yes. I'm okay. I took care of my clothes outside.”

“Great decision, my liege.”

Robes or armor worn on the outside were disinfected or destroyed before walking into the wall.

- Human, I made sure to give Mary a spatial pocket bag with a robe in it!

‘Yes, yes. Good job.’

Cale nodded his head to praise Raon and looked up.

“Should I get rid of the umbrella?”

"Whatever you would like, my liege.”

“Okay.”

Mary confirmed that no more black rain was seeping in and got rid of her bone umbrella after hearing Cale's response.

The bones disappeared into her spatial pocket bag once again.

Cale’s gaze moved. Beyond Mary’s shoulder...

- Cale, that bastard has been following behind Mary since earlier.

Eruhaben was looking at the First Imperial Prince with a suspicious gaze.

- I asked Mary and she said that he followed her around outside as well.

‘Hmm.’

First Imperial Prince Sanders.

‘Where are his helpers and why is he moving around alone?’

Cale and Eruhaben were warily looking at the First Imperial Prince but Sanders didn't even give these helpers a glance.

“How can you use your ability so flexibly?”

He simply asked Mary a question.

“I don't want to tell you. It just works when I do it.”

- Good job, Mary! Just answer like that!

Of course, Mary treated the First Imperial Prince coldly.

‘Hmm.

The First Imperial Prince is probably one of the two puppets that Second Imperial Princess Olivia mentioned.

The Black Bloods... Does it mean he is the puppet of the House of Huayans?’

Cale debated how he could use this situation to his advantage but did not put much thought into it.

The reason was simple.

‘It’s not that big of a variable.’

There was that individual whom they couldn’t determine if she was a Dragon, but there was nobody participating in this test who was strong enough to be an obstacle to Cale’s group.

‘They’ll need to at least be at the Emperor or that patriarch’s level.’

Cale felt a presence and turned his head.

“Umm, mister.”

Cale looked at Choi Han with shock.

‘What is up with this sudden mister business?’

Cale soon realized the answer after seeing Choi Han looking quite anxious and tense.

‘Ah. We didn’t determine how we were going to address each other.’

Choi Han seemed to have done his best to come up with something as he could not call Cale Cale-nim. The team leader dangling on Choi Han’s shoulder shook his head while looking at Choi Han.

- Human. Why is Choi Han calling you so awkwardly?

‘I know, right?’

"What is it?”

“That......”

Choi Han peeked to the side with his eyes.

“Quite the attention is focused here.”

Cale looked around with Choi Han before thinking that he understood what Choi Han was trying to say.

The edge village.

Precinct 9.

Most of the people here were people who were here to stop the erosion and defend against it. However, there were a decent number of civilians as well.

Click.

One of the slightly opened windows of a house closed once Cale looked at it.

However, Cale had seen the gaze of the person who had been looking at him before the window closed.

‘...There’s no light.’

There was no strength in the gaze.

There was no shock, anticipation, or even excitement even though the test for the future Emperor was being completed, the candidates appeared, and one of those candidates had used their powers.

It felt completely different from the capital.

- It must be that they have no hope.

He heard Eruhaben's voice in his mind.

- They have nowhere to return to.

At first, Cale had found it odd that there were quite a lot of civilians living in this edge village and the ten precincts, but he felt sorrow after realizing the reason.

‘Usually the people living in the edge village are people who escaped from the eroded land.’

They were people who had to leave their homes and move away from the slowly eroding land at the western border.

They could go find a place themselves at the capital, but only a select few would have the abilities to do so.

Most lived in empty houses or tents as if they were nomads.

- Cale!

Did he understand Cale's thoughts?

- Let’s burn it up! We just need to purify it!

The cheapskate strongly aired his opinion.
