Trash of the Count's Family (401-600)

Chapter 485 - Peeling layer after layer (2)

Cale looked back and started to speak before walking any farther.

"Wait for me outside the door."

Choi Han quietly nodded his head and started to close the door.

– Human! I'll be waiting with Choi Han!

Raon said goodbye to him without coming inside as well.

Screeeech-

The door slowly closed, until...

Boom!

It closed completely and Cale could not see outside.

"Why are you just blankly standing there?"

Cale turned away from the door and faced forward after hearing Alberu's voice.

"Are you not coming?"

Cale shrugged his shoulders and started to walk after hearing Alberu's jovial voice.

Tap. Tap.

The two of them were the only ones in here, so Cale's steps echoed loudly.

"Did you get rid of everybody else on purpose?"
"Yes. They all have the day off today."
"Is that okay?"

Cale stood in front of Alberu and Alberu took a document out of his pocket and waved it around.

"Do you see his majesty's crest?"

Cale chuckled after looking at the document with the king's crest.

"It's more of a do not approach warning than a day off."
"Yes. Even the guards are 10 meters away from the building."

Cale quietly listened before asking a question.

"I guess it is a big secret?"
"...I'm not sure."

Cale could see that Alberu was still smiling but that his eyes were stiff. His eyes were not normal and seemed to hold anguish.
Alberu turned away after seeing Cale staring at him and started to walk.

"...The people of the royal family seem to think it is a big secret."
"Does that mean you don't think it is a big secret, your highness?"

Cale walked while looking at Alberu's back and soon heard Alberu's quiet whisper.

"You can decide that after looking at it."

Alberu was passing the decision of whether it was a secret or not to Cale.

"Sure. But your highness, it looks like we are going somewhere odd?"

The Roan Kingdom's Palace's Grand Library.
That was the library with the most books in the entire kingdom, as well as the location with the most precious books.

The Grand Library of the oldest kingdom on the continent lived up to its name by being multiple stories high, and although the surface level itself was larger than any other building in the kingdom, it also had three large underground levels as well.

"Just follow me."

Cale thought that they were heading to a hidden room in the library, however, Alberu headed toward the center of the Grand Library's first floor.

"Cale Henituse. There is a rule we must follow whenever we extend the library."
"What is it?"

Alberu stopped walking.
Cale looked toward the crown prince who was enveloped in the moonlight coming through the large window on the first floor. The crown prince started to speak at the center of the moonlight.

"Make sure the gaze of the sun is always by your side."

Cale recalled the layout of the Grand Library that had a lot of large windows.
