Trash of the Count’s Family

96 noble awaiters and the other nobles all turned toward him.

Even the White Star turned toward him.

Of course, one person was an exception.

Cale kept his head down but still focused to hear what was about to be said.

“Ahem.”

Count Mock peeked toward Gersey with a slightly uncomfortable and confused gaze and started to speak.

“Marquis Gersey-nims motion is to request your permission to allow all priests in Section 2 to participate in a large ritual on the last day of the festival.”

The heavy atmosphere in the assembly hall lessened.

The noble awaiters looked disappointed.

‘Damn it. I thought it was something big since the Marquis brought up the motion.

‘Its just a ritual during the festival. Its not much.

Count Mock continued to speak as if it wasnt much.

“The content of the ritual is to give thanks for successfully completing the year and to pray for peace and happiness in the future for the Endable Kingdom.”

Everybody stopped caring as much, thinking that it was just a part of the festival.

However, Cales eyes sparkled as he had his head down.

‘…This is weird.

The White Star was supposedly rushing to become a member of the Demonic race.

And Chief Priest Gersey was working with him to make that happen.

But Chief Priest Gersey was doing a ritual for the festival while they were busy with that?

‘Theres something here.

Cale realized it.

The White Star and Gersey…

‘These two bastards must be up to something.

He had a feeling that something dark and sneaky was hidden within that festival ritual.

Count Mock turned toward Marquis Gersey.

“Marquis, is there anything you would like to add on?”

“Ahem.”

Marquis Gersey let out a small fake cough before smiling gently.

“It is just a small issue, so nothing else needs to be said. The materials and costs for the ritual will all be handled by the priests, so you dont need to worry about that either. However, as it is a ritual, we hope that all citizens can observe it with reverence.”

Flap flap.

He flapped his fan and slightly shrugged his shoulders.

It was a very casual action, but the people who knew the weight of his position did not even frown because of his action.

“Then we will now make a decision about this motion.”

Count Mock decided this was nothing much and quickly tried to pass the motion.

There wasnt anything to object about it.

Marquis Gersey watched Count Mock as he covered his mouth with his fan.

‘It ’s done.

The corners of his lips that were hidden underneath the fan went up without anybody knowing.

“Then I will take it as this motion has passed-”

Count Mock ’s voice echoed in the hall. His hand was turning the page to the next motion.

It was at that moment.

“I object.”

Screeeech-

A chair was pushed back.

‘Hmm?

Count Mock wondered if he had heard incorrectly and turned his gaze away from the document and toward the speaker.

Flinch.

His shoulders subconsciously flinched a bit.

“…Young master Naru. Just now-”

“I object.”

Dark Elf old man Mock looked toward Naru who cut him off in shock.

‘…What the…? Wasnt this bastard completely feeling down?

Mock could see the boy ’s eyes burning up.

He could see his clenched fists shaking as well.

“…Oh my.”

The black knight. Count Hubesha subconsciously gasped.

She realized that what she had worried about was starting to happen.

“Naru. What are you doing?”

The White Star gently but sharply looked toward Naru.

The White Stars eyes opened wide at Narus action at that moment.

Baaaaang!

The boy slammed down on the table with both hands.

“Your majesty.”

The boy looked toward the White Star with eyes that seemed to be burning wildly.

This was the thought on the boy ’s mind.

‘As if I am smacking the White Star around! With that kind of emotion!

The boy shouted full of emotion.

Of course, his thoughts and the words that came out were completely different.

“We do not think this is the time to be thinking about the festival.”

“…What?”

“My Father. Duke Fredo-nim is a Duke of our Endable Kingdom.”

The boy shouted while his eyes were fired up with the thought of smacking the White Star around.

“Such a respected person! He was injured by that evil Cale Henituse bastard!”

The boy looked as if he was so angry that he was ready to beat Cale Henituse to a pulp at any moment.

The atmosphere in the grand assembly hall instantly changed.

‘Hmm?

‘Huh?

The eyes of the 96 noble awaiters started to cloud over one or two at a time.

‘…This might be a chance.

An odd sense of desire filled the eyes of the people looking up at the platform.

Their gazes were very different than when Marquis Gersey was trying to pass the motion.

The reason that they were willing to sit down on this cold floor with a single cushion.

Duke Fredo had told Cale about it.

‘My son. The noble awaiters trust that the White Star and the Endable Kingdom will become the strongest kingdom on the Eastern and Western continents combined.

‘Hmm. What do they need in order to get out of the awaiter position?

Smile.

Fredo had smiled as he said the following.

‘First, the Endable Kingdom must officially reveal itself to the world and dominate another kingdom. That is the only way for the kingdom to increase its territory and require new nobles and administrators to maintain it.

‘And?

‘Second, they need merits from each individual awaiter. They must stand out on the battlefield. That ’s the way to get the White Star to choose them as the next noble.

Cale ’s eyes flashed as he recalled Fredo ’s words.

‘My son. The noble awaiters have waited a minimum of five years and a maximum of twenty years for their moment to become a noble.

Cale had laughed at that as he responded.

‘I ’m sure that they ’re tired of waiting.

‘Probably?

‘I guess theyre waiting for someone to start an all-out war?

‘…My son. Do as you please.

Cale, looking like Naru, looked the White Star in the eyes and asked.

“Are we just going to sit around like this? I firmly believe we cannot just sit around like this!”

The boy who had seen his father fainted in a coma shouted with sorrow and anger.

“It is for our Endable Kingdom and our future when we dominate the Eastern and Western continents! This is an issue of the Endable Kingdoms pride!”

They could also feel the innocent boy ’s love for the Endable Kingdom.

“We cannot hide around and wait any longer!”

They could not wait.

The atmosphere around the 96 awaiters started to heat up.

“I, Naru Von Ejellan, the representative of the Ejellan Duchy!”

The assembly hall was quietly but quickly heating up.

The moment Chief Priest Gerseys smile disappeared from underneath the fan…

The boy ’s voice filled the assembly hall.

“I would like to make a motion!”

The 96 noble awaiters.

Their intuitions were telling them that this moment was important.

‘The chance to become a noble.

Something to end the long boring time they had been quietly waiting through.

Something to fulfill their desires.

They thought that the starting point to all of that might happen here.

Naru Von Ejellan.

He calmly started to speak as everybody looked at him.

“Please give the order to kill Cale Henituse right away.”

‘…Shit.

Chief Priest Gersey subconsciously started to frown.

He had thought that it wouldn ’t be much even if Naru got angry because he was a gentle boy.

‘I was mistaken!

Gersey only just realized that Naru could cause something even bigger because he was an innocent boy.

He turned his head.

The White Star and Naru…

Gersey could see them looking at each other.

The boy held back his anger and calmly continued to speak.

“The proud warriors of the Endable Kingdom and I will kill Cale Henituse.”

The Endable Kingdoms warriors.

Those words made some of the noble awaiters clench their fists.

‘It ’s here!

They had thought it would not happen for a long time, but someone was creating the chance for them.

The boys next words made the noble awaiters fully confident.

“We will also let the continents know! They will know the greatness of the Endable Kingdom! They will know about the great and mighty warriors of the Endable Kingdom! We will let the entire world know about us!”

This bastard was trying to start an all-out war.

‘A chance might come if I help this bastard get this pushed through.

The fierce gazes of the noble awaiters under the platform were focused on Cales back.

Cale knew this but pretended not to know as he continued to speak as if he was a boy just dreaming of getting revenge.

“And please give me the chance to lead those warriors myself.”

The boy asked the king who had not been fully crowned yet.

“Please.”

He bowed toward the White Star.

However, his spirit looked as unwavering as a large mountain.

The boy. The 96 warriors.

A total of 97 fierce gazes looked toward the White Star.

Of course, the reasons behind those fierce gazes were all different.
