I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 265

＃When I returned, my family was ruined (266)

―…So? What do you want to claim?

Disaster immediately answered the words of deception.

-Solidarity for revenge.

-age?

-Yes. Two rulers have already been defeated. The next story is that it could be me or you. If we are not careful, it is a situation that could ruin the monarch’s great intentions.

As soon as the story about the monarch came out, the faces of the rulers began to show seriousness. They were more noble than anyone else in this world, but there were people who even they had no choice but to bow their heads to.

Lord of Dragonia and king of all dragons.

Dragonlord Draksis. Although more than ten years had passed since the monarch went into seclusion, the weight of that name still remained. Words were heard through the heavy silence.

It was the voice of a demon dragon.

―Shadow and Tyrant. Are you sure that those two guys were attacked by him? Surely you said this. It feels like I’m facing death. Isn’t that just a guess, not a certainty?

Holy shit.

At the Demon Dragon’s retort, the inside of the disaster burned black. Those words just now were already a mistake that could not be corrected.

―…It is a highly probable guess.

-What exactly is the shadow’s will? I need to know that.

Disaster gnawed at my mouth.

Demon dragon. The most cunning of the six rulers. He was a guy who wanted to build a social system to rule humans in the most secret way, rather than in an all-out way.

He was in direct opposition to the three rulers who argued that a war should be waged as soon as possible to publicize the power of the dragon race and to subjugate humans through force. However, the method of religion he spread was deeply ingrained in human society.

Thanks to this, he was able to build a force much more powerful than himself and other tyrants and shadows.

Anyway, one thing is certain.

He said that the line was completely opposite to his own.

It’s easy to guess that the intentions of starting to ask questions about the shadow’s will are not very good.

That said, it was impossible to mix lies into such an important matter. Isn’t this an issue where we wanted to join forces while mentioning the monarch’s will?

If you tell a clumsy lie to someone who is already suspicious, it will be quickly recognized as if you made a mistake in words a moment ago.

―…The last words left by the shadow are four words. Peacock. tyrant. danger. careful. These were them.

―Where did the confidence that the Duke was Duke Ethan come from?

-He told me before he died. Duke of Ethan. He says he is using a spirit master who made a contract with the spirit lord as his subordinate. Not only that, it was said that the growth rate was so steep that it would definitely become a hindrance in the future. So I said I would deal with it. And then…

Disaster took a moment to breathe and continued speaking.

-Contact was cut off after leaving these four last words. After that, I heard the sound of the necklace being stepped on. That was the last contact.

-Hmm, I’ve heard about that rumor. It is said that Heidern’s royal family and noble families have released a huge amount of mana stones. I guess that was the catalyst for the spirit contract.

-Yes, it is a deception. Duke Ethan is an extremely dangerous person. Besides, everyone knows that, right? That Ardan couldn’t possibly have any good feelings towards us.

Disaster looked at the demon dragon.

―I wonder if there is any other ruler who knows this fact better than you, the Demon Dragon. Your church and the duke have clashed at every turn.

-It is true that there was a conflict. However, no one can know in what way a relationship will change.

The demon dragon looked around at the three rulers and said.

―Didn’t everyone here witness it? As religion spreads, people go beyond hating us and even start liking us.

―So you’re going to at least defend that guy?

―No, there is no need to completely close the possibility of appeasement. And it is unclear whether the tyrant has truly taken orders into his own hands.

―He is someone who handles difficult spiritists as subordinates. Don’t you think we should deal with it now?

―So, let’s all work together? Even at the risk of being fully revealed to humans? Why should I do that?

-…what?

What appeared on the Demon Dragon’s lips was a cold sneer.

-Didn’t I always say that? Nothing good will come of just oppressing humans. Why does that tyrant seem dead? Since they openly prey on dwarves and do not hide their ambitions, the humans must also be joining forces.]

―Do you think now is the time to start a conflict over ideology? Two rulers are already dead!

-You got paid for it. If the shadow gnome had a moderate mindset like me, would it have attacked the duke right away?

―….

A silent disaster.

The demon dragon said with a sneer.

―I wonder if there is any need to turn a being with great power into an enemy. On the other hand, if you bring him in as an ally, it could be of great help, right?

-under!

I was so shocked that I burst out laughing. Are you trying to join hands with the human who killed the shadow?

It was an unacceptable story.

-One thing is certain. It is impossible to know whether the duke really killed the tyrant. And the shadow… is that I faced death by my own choice. But were we so close that we even took revenge on those two?

―…Deception, what do you think?

I didn’t even ask the ruling a question. The ruler, who was born later than other rulers, was practically a puppet of the Demon Dragon.

What is included in that damned word ‘we’ must also rule.

To persuade, one had to choose deception.

-What the demon dragon said was not wrong. And even if everyone moves, the problem still exists. According to what you said, doesn’t that duke have the power to take on a ruler? So it would be a request for cooperation.

―…I expect that to be the case.

―If that’s not enough, if a spiritist who deals with the monarch is also attached, it will be difficult to deal with it quietly even if the four of us attack together. Do you agree?

In the end, the gist of the deception was simple. It’s impossible not to care about the public’s attention.

This would have been the same as the Demon Dragon’s opinion. Until now, the Demon Dragon had been quietly taking over countries without being noticed by the public.

Even with the plausible packaging of religion.

―Do we really need to pay attention to people’s opinions that much?

―The power of each nation may be insignificant, but the power of humans united as one can never be ignored. Have we already forgotten the results of the war?

Balaur war.

Contrary to the thought that they would be able to dominate the humans from the start, it was a war that ended in the defeat of the dragons.

Thanks to this, some of the rulers who had radical tendencies turned to appeasing humans.

Representative examples include Demon Dragon and Domination. The deception that made people aware of the war continued.

―If you mess with the duke and fail… it could result in humans uniting as one.

Ardan, who stopped the monarch ten years ago. People around the world still remembered their myths.

In such a situation, the head of the family of the time is attacked by dragons?

If you ask quietly, you may not know, but if the situation escalates, their existence will be revealed to the forefront.

Deception didn’t want that.

-At the very least, it is difficult for our existence to be revealed to the front. Especially in situations where the tyrant and the shadow are dead.

-Umm….

-Disaster. Except for you, all the radicals met death. That means there is a high possibility that your methods are wrong. Because I failed in the end. On the other hand, what about the demon dragon?

―….

―I think we have to admit it. In the end, it may have been the Demon Dragon who has best followed the monarch’s will so far.

The deception of maintaining neutrality. His heart was already leaning towards the demon dragon.

Calamity’s face darkened.

This was because he sensed that the four rulers would not join forces to destroy the duke.

In the end, disaster had no choice but to follow the trend.

-Okay, let’s say so. I will admit that the Demon Dragon’s method may be the right one. Even so, there is no change in the opinion that peacocking is dangerous. There is also a need to prepare for it.

-I agree with that. According to the shadow’s will, there is a high possibility that the duke was directly involved in the tyrant’s death. The growth rate is also worthy of caution. So let me make a suggestion.

-what?

-The four of us join forces to guard against him.

―…What on earth does that mean?

-The idea is to create a common network. That way, even if he were to attack the rulers here, we would be able to send reinforcements right away.

-That’s a really passive way of responding. Isn’t this like just leaving a forest fire unattended?

-It’s not neglect. I will try to appease you. If a human with that level of power were to come into our hands, wouldn’t fear turn into reassurance?

-By what means? Have you already forgotten the past when you fought against the religious order, your lower power?

-The result was at best a minor sacrifice. There wasn’t even any disruption to the great world.

-I can’t understand your confidence. One day it will become toxic.

The demon dragon smiled quietly at the words that sounded like a curse of disaster.

-Would you like me to tell you one fact? I’ve never met a person who couldn’t make a deal.

The light of the crystal ball faded. Soon, the leader’s room suddenly opened. Anna rushed over with her hair disheveled and asked urgently.

“Did you know?”

The subject of the question was obvious. I’m guessing you were aware that the shadow was about to die.

He shook his head.

“No, I only found out today.”

“…Really?”

“okay. All I knew was that the shadow was haunting Heidern. “It looks like a division was formed while investigating Duke Ethan.”

“No, leader. Aren’t you being too calm? If you say it right, it’s a monster that has already eaten two rulers?”

“Well, they are just below me.”

“Still… he’s such a dangerous person? It would be an instant for disaster to take over, right? What next? “It’s our turn.”

“It’s enough for my future self to worry about the future.”

“Haa…”

“Just go out and have a look. “I have someone to contact.”

“Could it be that he is not the duke?”

“Why not?”

The leader waved his hand.

Anna sighed and left the room. The religious leader looked at the scene for a moment and raised the crystal ball.

It was an item connected to the duke. Not long after infusing mana, the Duke’s face was revealed.

“How were you?”

The leader smiled brightly.
