Trash of the Count's Family (1-200)

Chapter 162 - Somehow Once Again (2)

The people who were rushing out of the entrance suddenly stopped.
They only started to walk again once they were pushed forward by the people behind them.

However, their gazes continued to be focused on one area. One of the Roan Kingdom's envoy members started to speak.

"Young master Cale-"

His gaze was locked on Cale.

It soon started to follow the strand of silver light that started from Cale's hands. He could feel his heart beating fast. He had seen that silver light before.

It was during the Plaza Terror Incident. He remembered seeing this same light at that time.
This administrator was there during that incident because he worked for the palace.

He recalled the shield and large wings that had covered the citizens of the Roan Kingdom.

The administrator's gaze moved up to the sky.

"...Ah."

He could see a faint silver light above his head. The tips of the large wings were currently above his head.

This extremely large pillar was currently being supported by a single shield.
It was preventing the tower from falling on their heads.

But that was not the only thing it was doing.
It was protecting the people underneath the tower that would have been buried if the shield was not there.

'I survived.'

Those two words were currently what the administrator was thinking about.
Someone started to speak at that moment.

"... I cannot ... hold this much longer."

It was Cale Henituse's voice.

Alberu came to his senses at Cale's comment.

He looked at the large shield that was supporting the tower.
The wings stretching out of the shield were holding onto the tower and preventing it from falling on top of the people.
They were all focused on the bright shield that they had forgotten that this was all being done by a single person.

Alberu turned his head.

Imperial Prince Adin.
He could see him in the distance.

The Imperial Prince was staring fiercely at Cale. However, his expression changed once he made eye contact with Alberu.

The crown prince could see Adin's changing expression.

He seemed to be amused.

Although there was a frown on his face, his eyes showed amusement when a part of the palace was breaking and both the Empire's nobles and a foreign kingdom's envoy might die at any moment.
Others might not have noticed it because of his frown, however, Alberu could clearly see it.

Alberu's gaze turned deep. However, the two of them were currently making eye contact. Alberu maintained the urgent expression on his face as he started to speak.

"We do not have much time."
"I understand. Duke Huten!"
"Yes sir!"

Duke Huten ran toward the palace entrance as the Imperial Prince gave an order.

"Order the mages and alchemists to get here as quickly as possible! Now!"
"Yes, your highness, I will do as you commanded!"

The knights started to move quicker than before.

Alberu also gave orders to the people around him.

"Go and help the remaining envoy members quickly escape. Help the other nobles, no, the citizens of the Empire escape as well."
