Trash of the Count’s Family

hts were with her so that they could move stealthily and efficiently.

Naturally, Rosalyn and the king felt that they were all confidants they could trust.

“A paralyzing poison was put into my food and the food of some of the shadows.
It wasn't too strong, but we were unable to properly react to the sudden attack.

Rosalyn recalled the moment when she was attacked.

She had recalled this memory tens, no, hundreds of times.

Hundreds of people suddenly surrounded their carriage and group.
Then the attack started.

Rosalyn thought about the people who protected her until the end.

“All of the bastards the Archduke sent are dead.”

She did not leave even one bastard alive.
The few who started running away to inform the Archduke about Rosalyn’s magic abilities all died as well.

It had been a dark night.
Rosalyn, who was thinking about that time when she thoroughly searched through the forest, opened her mouth.

“The Archduke's household broke the fundamental rule.”

John thought about the ironclad rule that had been in place since the birth of the Archduke's household.

“The Archduke’s household…”

The royal family could deny the existence of the Archduke's household if they broke this rule.

The Archduke’s household…

“Is not allowed to have troops.”

The king from 200 years ago prohibited the Archduke's household from having troops because he was worried that it might hinder or threaten the second child.
Surprisingly, it was the older son who asked for that first.

The Archduke's household was a good partner and rival to the royal family at that time.
The Archduke gathered the opinions of the nobles and scholars to make suggestions or confront the royal family in politics or administration.

That was why the Breck Kingdom was able to be maintained so well until now.
However, that confrontation slowly changed.

Rosalyn calmly commented.

“The Archduke's household broke the fundamental rule.”

John recalled what the king had said.Read first at ” l i g h t nov el r e a d e r .
o r g”

‘There was a reason the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs didn't want us to reveal that Rosalyn was missing.
The Archduke's side wanted to find Rosalyn first.
They wanted to find her first and-!’

He couldn’t finish the sentence as he couldn't forget the wrath on the king's face nor the queen’s pale face.

“John.
I'm going to take down the Archduke’s household.”

“…Noonim.”

John called out to Rosalyn in a low voice after hearing what he thought she might say.
However, Rosalyn’s gaze was that of someone who had made up her mind.

“There will be internal conflict in the Breck Kingdom if we leave the Archduke's household as is.
But this is not the time to let something like that happen.”

The plaza in the Roan Kingdom's capital…
The attack and Magic Bomb Terror Incident that happened in the middle of the day…

The enemy behind it was an unknown being.

‘The peace was long.’

Rosalyn thought that the peace on the Western continent had been too long and that battles might happen to go against this.

Actually, she was almost certain about it.

‘An internal conflict in such a situation would only be cutting away at the kingdom’s lifeline.’

Rosalyn wanted to protect her kingdom, her home.

‘But I am lacking when it comes to doing that.’

There was something she wanted to do, something she treasured as much as the kingdom.

“My friends and I will soon deal with the Archduke's house.”

“Noonim, the nobles will riot if you do that.”

John thought that Rosalyn would have proof that the Archduke was responsible for the attack.

However, even the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was in the Archduke's hands.
The noble faction followed the Archduke.

Taking care of the Archduke’s household quickly without even talking to the nobles about it in such a situation was likely to cause the noble faction to riot in some form or fashion.

And that riot…

“Noonim, you know how it would be.
If the nobles riot-”

“My position might be in danger? You're trying to say that they might make me their enemy because they can't turn the royal family as their enemy?”

“…That's right.”

“It doesn't matter.”

Rosalyn looked at John.

“I'm not going to become Queen.”

“Noonim!” Read first at ” l i g h t no v el r e a de r .
o r g”

John jumped up from the chair.

Rosalyn gently smiled.

“John.
I love this kingdom.
I love this land and its citizens.
They are important to me.
I treasure them.”

She closed her eyes.

She recalled the sight of the capital as she looked down from the highest spot in the palace.

“However.”

‘Yes, even while looking at the sight, I…’

“It is not my dream.”

‘I want to do magic that will let me fly in the sky.’

“Can you understand the difference in that?”

Rosalyn looked into Rosalyn's eyes before sitting back down.
He then sighed as he responded.

“Of course I do.”

John spoke freely to his sister as he used to do when he was younger.

“…I understand it very well.”

During that time in the past when Rosalyn was thinking about doing magic that would let her fly in the sky, John had been next to her taking in the view of the Breck Kingdom from the capital to the horizon.
He couldn't forget the sight of the yellow wheat from the good harvest and the citizens working on the farms in the distance.

“John, your dream is the kingdom, right?”

“…….”

Rosalyn knew about her brother’s dream.

While she finished everything she needed to learn as a member of the royal family and studied magic deep into the night…
The light in the study in John’s Palace was always lit.

“John.
You are most like me among all of our siblings.”

“Because I too only look toward my dreams as I live.”

“Yeah.” Read first at ” l i g h t no v el r e a d e r .

The two of them were silent for a moment.

Lock was observing Rosalyn, who seemed oddly different from her usual self, before turning away.
Choi Han was looking out the window with an odd smile on his face.

“I will somehow convince Royal Father and Royal Mother.”

“…Huuuuuu.”

John let out a short sigh at Rosalyn’s comment.
Rosalyn smiled before continuing to speak.

“First, I'm going to be very loud while taking care of the Archduke's household.
It won’t take very long.”

She was planning on making it such a big deal that the whole kingdom will be talking about it.

“While I do that, John, you-”

“Take care of the palace?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Rosalyn couldn't hide her pleasure at John who understood what she wanted right away.
John looked away after seeing Rosalyn’s gaze and added on.

“I’m not going to get rid of everybody who followed the Archduke.
I will only capture the ones who lied to the royal family and tried to trick us, the ones who show potential signs of causing internal conflict.”

“You already have a list?”

“I don’t have an accurate list yet.
It looks like you’ll have to help me a bit.”

“Okay.
Let’s do it together.”

Rosalyn extended her hand and John grabbed it.
