Regressor of the Fallen Family - Chapter 174

Episode 174

“Yes?”

“A date. No, no. I asked when you were going to get married.”

“Ah… Ha. Ha. Ha. Marriage…?”

Logan, whose body froze as if he had been hit by the legendary 8th Circle ice magic, just rolled his eyes.

While I felt Eilen’s gaze next to me, there was only one thought that came to my mind.

‘marriage?’

To be honest, I completely forgot about it.

Days where I kept running, thinking only about what I had to do in the future.

To put it in the extreme, how can you afford to imagine a different future when you might die in 5 to 6 years?

Of course, when I first tried to recruit Eilen, I had the intention of getting married.

A female knight who may become a superhuman in the future.

Because I thought he was a talented person with great value.

However, the problem was that after spending a lot of time together, special feelings developed.

‘Will I be able to properly raise a family? ‘Is there so much work to be done in the future?’

If you care about her, even more so.

‘Shouldn’t that be the case?’

The moment the thought reached that point, Logan’s face hardened.

And then.

“Ah, I suddenly remembered something I had forgotten. Just a moment…”

Chatter.

He left behind an excuse that didn’t work and disappeared from the spot like the wind.

“….”

“….”

The two people had blank expressions for a while.

Padric, who was watching Eelen’s face changing red and blue every moment, carefully spoke.

“Did I… make a mistake? Princess?”

“No, no, father.”

Hearing Eilen’s unexpectedly calm voice, Padric heaved a sigh of relief.

“This was Prince Logan’s mistake.”

However, I couldn’t help but gasp at the creepy voice that immediately followed.

‘Son… please pray unconditionally.’

Padric, who prayed for the soul of his son who disappeared beyond the door, carefully avoided the scene, ignoring the aftermath of the bomb he had thrown.

‘What a stupid…’

I absentmindedly left the place, but even thinking about it myself, it was a ridiculous excuse.

Why did you run away like this when you could have just calmly talked to him and persuaded him?

“Pathetic…”

Logan, who had already come out of the castle, stopped and sighed when he saw Eilen approaching from afar.

Seeing her like that, Logan unconsciously thought of wanting to run away again, and smiled bitterly as he stroked his hair.

Then he took a deep breath and approached her, prepared to make loud noises.

But Eilen’s reaction was unexpected.

“I’ve never seen Confucius so embarrassed.”

For some reason, seeing her smiling and speaking made me feel relieved, and feeling so relieved made me feel even more pathetic.

“…I’m sorry. I looked ugly.”

“It’s okay. Actually, I was a little embarrassed too. I didn’t think of running away like Confucius.”

“…sorry.”

“I don’t want to hear an apology. What’s important is what we do next.”

“yes?”

Eilen smiled and answered Logan, who asked blankly.

“Marriage.”

“Ah…”

“Even if it’s just today, the adults will be urging you more and more in the future, so you can’t keep saying you’re going to put it off because you’re busy.”

“That’s… right.”

“At least you have to say that you will do it at some point so a situation like this doesn’t happen again.”

At those words, Logan’s complexion darkened slightly again.

Seeing that, Eilen’s expression seemed to harden a little, and then she cautiously asked again.

“Perhaps Prince Logan…”

“…?”

“There’s no one else you want to marry other than me, right?”

“I’m definitely not!”

Logan screamed in response to the sudden question.

“That’s a good thing. I don’t have anyone else in particular.”

“yes…?”

The moment we met each other’s gaze.

The two people looked at each other blankly and soon burst into laughter without anyone knowing who was first.

“To be honest, I was angry at first.”

The first words Eilen said after laughing for a while.

She smiled at Logan, who was slightly embarrassed, then looked up at the sky and said,

“I felt like I was rejected by the person I thought I was going to marry…”

lover.

In fact, anyone can see that it has been like that, but it was the first time that I had used such a word myself, and both the speaker and the listener’s faces grew slightly hot.

“It’s not a rejection…”

“And then a thought occurred to me. Maybe I came here because I really wanted to get married.”

Logan, who was trying to make an excuse, flinched.

“The things I had dreamed of became reality, and when I was only dreaming, I thought I had overcome the unexpected coldness of reality… Maybe that’s why I had become complacent at some point and was leaning on Confucius without even realizing it.”

Eilen’s eyes, which were looking up at the sky, fell on his face again.

“I’m ugly, right?”

“…That can’t be right.”

It’s me who is pathetic. Not you.

I wanted to answer like that.

“Well, I don’t want to deny my feelings. Confucius gave me a chance, and that changed my reality. I was grateful and grateful, so I also wanted to help Confucius… and then I started liking Confucius.”

“yes?!”

I froze in a daze at the sudden confession.

“I thought of course we were going to get married, so I never asked. Prince Logan. Don’t you like me?”

“Of course it’s all good…”

Logan’s face turned red, embarrassed by the sincerity that came out at that moment.

Seeing that, Eilen laughed out loud again.

“Ahaha. That’s good. Oh, you know I was really nervous inside right now, right?”

“…Ah. That’s it.”

“Well, anyway, that’s okay. We just need to confirm each other’s feelings. Let’s talk about marriage. Even if it means putting it off again.”

Eilen’s winking image was imprinted in his eyes, and Logan couldn’t help but laugh at the relief of having something blocked in his chest open.

This time of seeing each other and smiling again felt so precious.

“…But why did you really run away?”

“…Actually, I hadn’t thought about marriage. So I was a little surprised.”

“Are you stupid? You ran away just because you were surprised? How embarrassed I was in front of your father…”

“I’m sorry. Really.”

Logan, who had nothing to say, just looked at the sky in confusion.

Eilen laughed at the sight and suddenly asked.

“But Prince Logan. You really don’t want to marry me, do you?”

To that question, Logan unconsciously nodded and answered.

“Of course. You are too much for me. You.”

And the answer contained so much sincerity that even I was embarrassed.

Then Eilen came closer to him.

“Then when shall we get married? We need to set a temporary date.”

Eilen looks straight in the eye and gently holds her hand.

I was embarrassed by the feeling that the relationship between men and women had somehow become reversed, but I also found it just as lovely.

I wanted to nod willingly, but

The more.

“…I don’t think that should work.”

“Yes? Why?”

“I have a lot of work to do. It will only get more and more in the future. Even if I get married, I probably won’t be able to give my full attention to my family. I’ll probably be the worst husband.”

I said it with sincerity.

“…Is that all?”

Eilen’s reaction was a little strange.

A look of absurdity.

“yes?”

“Is that really it?”

“Oh no. That’s not to say it easily. It’s obvious that we’ll be a lot busier for at least the next 5 to 6 years…” If we

don’t get busy and give up our families, we might all die together.

I couldn’t bring myself to say those fatal words and swallowed them.

Eilen overturned that logic with one word.

“Then I guess I need to have a stable family so I can do that busy work better.”

“…yes?”

…I never thought about it that way.

“I think you need a stable family in order to do better at the job that will be very busy for a while.”

“That means Eilen is suffering too much…”

“Why am I suffering?”

There was no wavering in her eyes as she looked at me clearly.

“He’s a good husband who knows that he’s busy and reflects on it. And all that busyness is probably so that we can live better in our territory. So, it’s obvious that I’ll be busy too. No way, after I get married, I’ll be able to get rid of the driver and sit in the master bedroom. “You don’t think so, do you?”

There was no hesitation in the words that followed.

That confident voice warmly touched Logan’s anxious heart.

“Ha… I was being foolish. I was worried that something might go wrong for you if you got involved with me.”

“Are you kidding me? I’m from the McLane family anyway. I’ve already become known throughout the kingdom as a fiancée in articles. Do you think anything will change just because I don’t get married now?”

Eilen’s voice, which sounded as if it was so absurd that he could not be comforted, pierced his heart.

uh…?

is it?

Now that I think about it, it seems like that….

Then, I suddenly found the thought I had to be so funny that I burst into laughter.

“Don’t worry, let’s just say we’re getting married. Maybe next year? Then we’ll find an excuse again. We’ll do it on a nice day when we’re a little less busy and have more time on our hands.”

At those words, Logan looked at Eilen with new eyes.

A man who ran away as soon as marriage was mentioned.

What a ridiculous excuse.

‘He must have been angry….’

How disappointed must he have been?

How angry was he?

Nevertheless, she is a woman who only tries to protect herself.

This kind of behavior is also probably a consideration towards oneself who keeps trying to avoid it.

Logan sighed softly and took her hand.

A startled look. The body heat I felt from my clasped hands was strangely reassuring, so my sincerity naturally came out.

“I guessed wrong. That was stupid. I’m sorry.”

“Are you going to keep saying the same thing? Now…”

“So. We’re getting married.”

“…yes?”

Eilen looks at herself with surprised eyes.

Before I knew it, I felt sorry again in my red eyes, and my heated face looked even more lovely.

So I said it again with more force.

“Let’s get married. We’re not setting a date to make excuses, we’re serious.”

A time when you feel pathetic about the person you were a little while ago who was worrying about the wrong things.

“Is this true?”

“Yes. I’m serious.”

It was only then that Logan became certain as he saw Eilen smiling brightly at that simple word.

‘I… I was just scared.’

I’m afraid that all these things that came into my hands will disappear someday.

I’m afraid that things will happen for which I can’t take responsibility.

In the first place, I was living to prevent all of those things, but I was also scared that I might fail.

‘I will definitely succeed. I will make it. So….’

Ugh.

I will also protect this moment.

“thank you. And…”

So that this moment of holding your precious person in your arms and feeling each other’s heartbeats can continue in the future.

“I love you.”

“…?!”

I will remember this warm feeling of your lips forever. So that they can.

The sunset was setting behind the lovers walking in the field. Their

faces, flushed like the setting sun, seemed never to let go of their tightly held hands, and even though there was no conversation, their steps back were slow.

How long did they walk like that?

When the people of the town began to appear in the distance,

the man opened his mouth.

“Still, I think the wedding should be held after the estate affairs are sorted out.”

“Huh?!”

“I won’t make you wait for long. Please wait just a little longer. You’re busy with a lot of work.”

The woman’s face became pale and a little cold sweat ran down the man’s back.

Fortunately, the woman quickly nodded.

“Okay. Well, that’s about it…”

“Thank you.”

“But you won’t tell me until the end that it’s a dangerous job?”

“…I’ll tell you when the time comes. I don’t want to cause you any unnecessary worry.”

“You know I’m really worried about that right now, right?”

“I promise. I will tell you when the time comes.”

“Yes, I promise.”

The day I officially proposed and received the marriage proposal.

Although the man who proposed marriage did not even have a ring on his hand, the woman’s expression was brighter than ever.

From that day on, the people of McLane Town began to cry out for Logan. and Eilen were seen together much more often than before.

“I guess we can get married soon.”

Just as I was getting used to the sight of Padric looking at his son’s lover with such a happy expression,

Riina Wolves came to Macline.
