Regressor of the Fallen Family - Chapter 218

Episode 218

“Okay. Did you meet him well?”

“…That’s right.”

“What did you say? Did you regret your sins?”

Is it possible to repent for a sin that was not committed?

Instead of spitting out the words of his heart, Geomgong chose to keep his mouth shut.

However, the king snorted and ground his teeth as if that alone conveyed his meaning.

“As expected of a traitor, he doesn’t admit it easily? Ha! Even though the evidence is so clear, you can’t believe it!”

The only evidence the king spoke of was the poison found in the king’s goblet, an unknown member of the assassin’s guild who testified that Logan had bought it, and circumstantial evidence.

‘And the minion also died after confessing.’

Do we really truly believe this flimsy evidence?

How did it end up like this?

The voice of my heart that I had been unable to bring out due to my frustration came out.

“I’m sorry, Your Majesty. If Logan had truly tried to assassinate Your Majesty, Your Majesty would have died on the spot.”

“You weren’t there! I guess I couldn’t do what I wanted to do because you were there!”

“Logan calmly went into prison on his own feet. And even I can’t stop him from those streets. Your Majesty, please change your mind.”

“Then what! Do you really mean that I harmed myself like the rumors floating around the streets say?”

Red-hot eyes. Shaking eyes.

No matter how you looked at it, it did not look like the eyes of a normal person.

‘What on earth should I do about this?’

The conversation was repeated for several days without any progress, and Geomgong could only pound his chest in frustration.

And that night.

Logan received a visit from someone unexpected.

I’m sorry.

Logan, who had been meditating while looking at the wall, stood up like lightning at the sound of the iron bars being carefully opened.

Soon, someone appeared from the darkness and entered the cage.

“I’m sorry to see you like this, Lord Logan. I wanted to meet you alone under better circumstances, but…”

“You…?”

As Logan’s eyes narrowed, the person who came in bowed deeply towards him.

“My name is Cleo Lieberman, Head of the Internal Palace Department. I have met Lord Logan, albeit from afar.”

Cleo.

There was no way Logan didn’t know him.

I just pretended not to notice because the situation was suspicious.

‘Why is this guy…?’

I heard from my teacher that this guy was taking the lead in agreeing with the king’s request to punish him.

But the current situation…

“Is that so? But what is this situation now? Did the head of the Naegung Department have the power to pardon criminal suspects?”

What are you planning?

Logan’s sharp gaze, filled with that meaning, passed the open iron bars and then focused on Cleo again.

Then the guy with a sad expression hurriedly waved his hand and then took out a small key with a strange smile.

“Is that possible? I just took the key without the security guard knowing.”

For a restraint key, this key has an overly flashy shape and even has a soft blue glow.

But that’s why Logan was confident that it was genuine.

That key is the only artifact that can unlock the superhuman restraint that Logan is currently wearing.

But Logan was not easily swayed.

The artifact shackles that suppressed the force in his entire body and prevented him from moving were meaningless, at least to Logan.

Unlike other force users or superhumans, it was an artifact that was too weak to suppress Logan’s power, which was concentrated in the heart.

“You overstepped your bounds? For me?”

Was that calm expression surprising?

Cleo, whose eyes were slightly shaken, hurriedly continued speaking.

“That’s right. I didn’t want to see a hero like Lord Logan end his life in vain like this.”

“Ha… you’re helping me just for that reason?”

“I am a philanthropist, but that is why I admire a hero like Lord Logan even more. It seems that His Majesty has become bitter, so I think this is the only thing I can do for him.”

“Your Majesty has a bitter heart?”

“It may be insufficient, but as someone who serves Your Majesty by your side, I have heard something. Your Majesty is mentioning the Duke’s execution. So, I cannot help but feel anxious.”

Not what you claimed?

Eat.

“If I want to escape from prison, how can these iron bars stop me? Go back. I will be grateful.”

“…yes?”

“I trust you, Master. I have no intention of becoming a traitor by accepting your offer.”

As sharp eyes flashed from the darkness, a grumpy and tired Cleo took a step back without realizing it.

Soon, the guy with a complicated expression bent down again.

“Ah… I’m sorry. I was short-tempered. After hearing Your Majesty’s words, I became impatient and stopped… But is it really possible for the Duke of Swords to stop Your Majesty? He who would just die if it were the monarch’s order? ”

“Stop! If you don’t plan on causing trouble, just go back.”

Whatever his intentions, I had no intention of accommodating him.

No, since he wants to escape, I’ll have to stay here even longer.

It was the moment when Logan thought that and was about to turn around.

“It is very unfortunate that someone who was so highly regarded in the Empire is treated this way in his home country. If you ever change your mind, please use this at least. I will leave it behind.”

When I turned my head, I saw Cleo putting something down on the floor.

A thin leather item along with the key to the artifact restraint.

At first glance, it looked like a painting of something.

“This is a blueprint of the dungeon and the palace. A security log is also attached, so please refer to it if you need anything.”

Looking at the guy who lowered his head and hurriedly turned around, Logan thought quietly.

‘Encourages escape. The moment you escape, you become a traitor? Do you want me to fight the king? ‘Why?’

It’s a battle of words, but honestly, the only thing you’re being pushed for is the cause.

The current power gap between the royal family and the McLane family was not at a level worthy of a fight. Wanting to fight the king was practically the same as wanting the king to die.

Cleo’s unexpected visit shattered Logan’s thoughts of seeing him as just a common treacherous traitor.

‘Wasn’t he a guy who wanted to enjoy power by flattering the king?’

It was a moment when I became even more curious about his identity.

What on earth is this guy doing?

Logan couldn’t help but think about it all night.

‘What’s certain is that you shouldn’t move now.’

The basic tactic is not to move as the enemy wants.

What if an enemy whose intentions are unknown wants to escape from prison?

‘I can never respond.’

That’s how I strengthen my mind.

Logan’s resolve was completely shaken the very next day.

It all started with a note that the guard who brought the meal placed under the dishes.

It was a note written in the code of the Grandia Liberation Front that had been promised to Damian in advance.

War?

The father?

Logan frowned in surprise, but underneath it was an even more surprising story.

‘what!?’

A story that cannot help but be astounding.

But that wasn’t everything.

“What is this…?”

Logan’s mind became complicated in an instant.

The force that resisted the pursuit of a mage who had reached the level of a 6th-circle expert tried to kidnap Hamar?

The unbelievable content left his mind dazed.

And that wasn’t the end.

The moment he read that story, Logan was convinced.

‘It’s the king’s doing.’

The only people who can mobilize such talented people in this country now are McLane, Esperanza, and the royal family, who lack the absolute number of troops but have nominal talent.

‘There is also a royal magic tower.’

What followed added confidence to the inference.

Hot.

‘Lock me up and shake the McLine? The king has no intention of letting go.’

For Logan, this was something that made him nervous.

Moreover, if there was even talk of an execution date, there was no way Master could just stay away.

‘Let’s have one last conversation.’

With that determination, I calm my anxious mind.

That night.

As expected, the teacher came to visit him again.

“Master. How is the situation going? I heard that the execution date has arrived?”

The teacher with a haggard complexion shook his head in response to the direct question.

“Who told you that… Okay. Yes, Your Majesty’s opinion is very strong. But I am persuading you, so please wait a little longer.”

“Master, wouldn’t it be okay if you take a harder line?”

“Strongly?”

“Even if you just mobilize the Esperanza Knights…”

“Logan! That’s crossing the line. If I do that, it’ll be like me scolding Your Majesty with force. It’s not the duty of a subject.”

Logan’s expression suddenly hardened at his teacher’s words, which felt particularly frustrating today.

“Just be patient a little longer. I am persuading His Majesty. Even if there is a delay, your safety will never be in trouble. I can assure you on my honor.”

At those words, Logan had no choice but to lower his head with a sigh.

okay. It was like that.

My teacher was this kind of person.

“…Master, when do you think Your Majesty will let me go?”

“…I just need to be good at persuading you.”

“Will you let me go before I die?”

“Logan. That’s…”

“Face the reality, Master. If I try to persuade you with words alone, your Majesty will never let me go!”

“You’re not the kind of person who can’t discern between right and wrong, Logan.”

“No. I’m sorry, but it’s you, Master, who is not able to discern between right and wrong.”

“Logan!!”

He flinched for a moment at the angry voice of his teacher, but he had no intention of just backing down today.

“When you are intoxicated with a belief, you begin to believe that fact as if it were the truth. Even if people around you tell you what the truth is, you don’t want to believe it. That’s the case with religion and that with ideology.”

“You are trying to discipline me now…”

“Master. As soon as I am released from here, I will imprison Your Majesty. And I will keep a tight watch to prevent you from interfering in politics again.”

“Yes you bastard!!!!”

– evil!

As the shout, full of the spirit of a high-ranking Auror user, echoed through the dungeon, the guard outside the iron gate let out a scream.

But Logan just frowned slightly and stared straight at his teacher with burning eyes.

“Now, as a subject…!”

“Everyone will think that way!!”

This time, Logan’s shout echoed through the dungeon.

I could feel the presence of a guard who had fainted, leaving only a faint groan, but it was not the time to look into their situation.

Logan looked at his stern-faced teacher with burning eyes and spat out each word clearly.

“Everyone will think that. They will think that it is the minimum retaliation. Common sense tells us.”

“What blasphemous…”

“Or, some people might imagine that I would do something even worse. Especially Your Majesty.”

I really want to do that.

Even though he omitted the last word, the teacher’s expression became even more stern.

“You mean…”

“Yes. Your Majesty probably thinks that if I am released, it will be the end of me. And because of that, she will never release me.”

“I…”

“Master, face reality. I recognize the nobility of the Master’s ideal, but it can never become reality!”

“Still, there is a duty that must be maintained…” The Master’s face looked even more haggard in an instant as he spoke in a thin, trembling

voice .

Logan was also heartbroken, but could not back down from here.

“I also don’t know why Your Majesty did such a thing. But it is clear that His Majesty has made a final move that cannot be defeated!!”

“Logan…”

“Yes. Let me put it bluntly. Your Majesty cannot let me go unless you wish to die. Look at the reality, Master!”

The swordsman’s complexion sank heavily at Logan’s harshly urging voice.

I believe you will be fine. The conversation between the swordsman and the king gets longer…(omitted)… The family is currently in a state of emergency. They are preparing for war, even thinking about a rebellion.

And a serious incident occurred in Taren and McLane Town. There was an attempted kidnapping of Prince Hamar in Taren, and an attack on the Liberatio warehouse in Town. It is said that even though Clayton quickly noticed Lord Hamar’s absence, he was only able to stop the kidnapping from the castle walls. The identity of the masked beast that escaped was not discovered until the end. Unfortunately, he was unable to prevent over

a

hundred Liberatios from being stolen. Some of the attackers were dealt with, but a few of them were top-level knights and 5th circle wizards….

There is talk that the execution date of Confucius has been decided. The Duke of Geom is opposed, but the king is stubborn. ..
