Trash of the Count's Family

TCF2-47

“The duration is for one week.”

The second test, this Hide and Seek, will last for one week.

“You just need to capture the targets and bring them back before the public execution in a week. The contents of the test will be revealed to the entire Empire after this and anybody will be able to attend the public execution without any restriction.”

Zero scoffed and then mumbled.

“This is crazy.”

This test was crazy.

“...Public execution?”

Second Imperial Princess Olivia scowled.

Cale looked around. There was an eccentric heat of passion rising through the heavily sunken air. The candidates and their helpers were all warily looking at each other, unable to release the stiff looks on their faces.

The Chief of Staff was the only one smiling.

“The test will start one hour from now. Best of luck to end up in the top of the rankings.”

The Chief of Staff said something to make them disperse and then stopped talking.

Nobody was talking. They were all warily looking at one another before one person made a move and they all quickly headed back to their palaces.

- Human, Mary is going!

The first person to leave the place was Mary, or Heni Wishrop. Eruhaben was behind her.

- Cale, it looks like we will need to chat.

Cale slightly nodded his head so that it would not be noticed by others after hearing Eruhaben's voice.

Zero was mixed in with the crowd that was leaving.

Cale saw something as that all happened. He saw the Chief of Staff's gaze heading toward Mary and Zero.

‘...They haven't put down their suspicions.’

Zero and Mary were the only survivors of the incident in Precinct 9. The Imperial Palace was still suspicious of the two of them.

And with them was naturally...

“Your Royal Highness.”

Olivia. The Chief of Staff started to speak to the Second Imperial Princess, the only person still standing in the garden.

“You must hurry, your Royal Highness.”

“...Chief.”

“Yes, your Royal Highness.”

Olivia, who had called out to the Chief of Staff in a low voice, raised her slightly lowered head.

“Do you really think that a public execution makes any sense?”

There were small flames in her eyes.

“Your Royal Highness, the groups listed on there are to be immediately executed when found anyway.”

“...Who came up with this?”

The Chief of Staff looked at Olivia as if he was confused at her question.

“This test naturally has the will of his Majesty. Why would you think it would not, your Royal Highness?”

Olivia quietly observed the Chief of Staff before turning around. The Chief of Staff spoke to her again.

“You know that you cannot keep the priest-nim next to you as a helper, right your Royal Highness?”

The Chief of Staff made eye contact with the priest who had the area under his eyes covered by a cloth. The priest lowered his head in an extremely elegant and bright expression on his face.

Olivia responded without even looking back. Her voice was low.

“...I know at least that much.”

She then left without any hesitation toward her palace.

Cale matched her pace as he followed behind her.

Olivia did not say anything until she returned to the palace. Furthermore, she kept her mouth shut even after entering this palace. That made the approaching attendants urgently look away.

That was how stiff Olivia’s face was right now.

Click.

Olivia headed toward the window after entering the bedroom.

Chhhhhhhhh.

She opened the curtains.

Click.

Cale walked in after her and closed the door before Raon commented in his mind.

- Casting the soundproof barrier magic!

Olivia opened her mouth at that moment.

“Has the sound been sealed?”

“Yes, your Royal Highness.”
