Regressor of the Fallen Family - Chapter 227

Episode 227: Logan McLane killed the king.

The rumors that swept through the capital in an instant further chilled the already bloody atmosphere.

– Now that even the king has died, it is no wonder if someone dies.

So it was natural for this idea to spread.

Soon, even ordinary citizens of the capital became reluctant to leave their homes, and people soon realized one more thing.

– McLane is now the ruler of this kingdom.

How will the McLane family and Logan McLane move?

Everyone inside and outside the capital is paying attention to their movements.

Those who most acutely felt that the world had completely changed were the nobles of the capital who were detained by McLane’s forces.

Through the bars they were locked in, I could see the former ministers of state who had been imprisoned in the dungeon by the dead king walking the streets with bright expressions.

Soldiers with flame patterns occupied the streets of the capital.

The only people walking around with their heads raised proudly in front of him were the nobles who were classified as the Logan McLane faction.

Within a few days, the McLane family, which took control of the capital, summoned all the nobles and held a great conference in the royal palace.

– I will decide the future of the kingdom here and now.

A declaration that makes one shiver just by hearing it.

With the agenda weighing so heavily, Minister Palman Terich, now over 70 years old, couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat as he wondered if it was right for him to be in this position.

‘Should I have said there were aftereffects from my time in prison and rested?’

It wasn’t a lie at all.

A tingling, numb back.

I could feel in real time that the aftereffects were getting worse due to the burden weighing on my chest.

While he is enduring the pressure and maintaining his position.

“The majority of the nobles in and near the capital have expressed their intention to submit.”

“If it’s the majority, does that mean there are some who aren’t?”

“There are a very small number of them. They are relatives of those whom the dead king appointed as minister of state, but since His Excellency the Marquis personally stepped forward, it will be sorted out quickly.”

Word naturally flowed that the McLane family had virtually taken over the country.

‘Of course. Even Esperanza, who surrendered, agreed to cooperate fully, so who would dare to rebel?’

Now there was no force in this country that could even compare to the McLane family.

Since even the old self recognizes it so clearly, there is no way that others cannot feel it.

“Okay. Now then, it’s time to discuss the direction this country should take.”

The Daejeon was immediately immersed in cold silence at the words of Logan, who claimed to be the ‘temporary regent’ and sat directly below the empty throne.

The thought that came to everyone’s mind was the same.

What is coming has come.

And the guess was not wrong.

“We are accepting opinions regarding the new throne of Grandia. Any opinions are welcome, so those present here should express their opinions openly!”

Despite Logan’s words, no one was hasty in coming forward.

‘This is also natural.’

Who can step forward easily?

No matter what is said, if you don’t like Logan McLane, you could fall straight into the abyss.

however.

At some point, I felt eyes focused on me.

There was a certain expectation in the eyes of the nobles looking at the oldest among the existing Ministers of State, and in the end, Palman had no choice but to take a deep breath and step forward.

‘I went to jail and came back. Should I kill him?’

In fact, if you have lived this long, you will not have any major regrets in life.

Palman brainwashed himself like that, swallowed his saliva, and carefully opened his mouth.

“Let me tell you something, Your Excellency.”

“Oh Lord Falman, please speak.”

Rattling.

I thought I had lived enough, but why are my legs shaking?

Palman took a deep breath and spoke his opinion clearly, taking care not to muffle his pronunciation.

“I think it would be a good idea to find a collateral blood relative of the Grandia royal family and appoint the person closest to the direct line as the new king.”

“Huh…”

“How could you say something like that…”

“No, you have a point…”

Murmur.

Daejeon quickly becomes noisy.

However, Palman’s attention was only focused on Logan at the head of the table.

As his eyebrows narrowed slightly, his lifespan seemed to decrease accordingly, and when he smiled briefly, his shortened lifespan seemed to increase again.

‘I was just stating the truth…’

The mood went as if he had said something very wrong.

But soon.

“Hmm. That sounds plausible. Any other opinions?”

Seeing Logan nodding his head expressionlessly, Palmon finally felt his heart sink.

But at that moment, someone else came forward with a different take.

“Even if you were to find a collateral royal family, how would you rank the lineage? Paternal? Matrilineal? Or related to the previous king? As this is unprecedented, more difficult problems may arise.”

Another minister who received a lot of attention from the crowd was Viscount Adam Morgan, who was not a member of the MacLaine faction at first, but was one of the nobles who actively cooperated with MacLaine in the battle to occupy the capital.

‘Interest?’

Palman looks at him with questioning eyes.

A young minister in his 40s expressed his opinion clearly and in a confident tone.

“I think it would be best for all the people of this country for His Excellency Logan to start a new dynasty.”

Then, Daejeon suddenly fell into silence.

The atmosphere becomes chilly.

It was one of the possibilities that everyone was considering, but Adam Morgan confidently brought up the words that were difficult to bring up.

‘Is it because I’m young? Or…’

Has this already been said?

Palmen’s old head turned quickly for the first time in a long time.

What’s even more strange is that Logan McLane is not greedy for the throne when he even killed the king.

It is highly likely that Adam Morgan’s remarks have already been agreed upon with the McLane family.

As Palman was carefully observing the expressions of Logan and the Viscount, Count Roberts Floyd carefully added his words.

“I also agree with Lord Adam.”

Swish.

The eyes of the nobles in Daejeon all focused on Roberts.

“The damage that the blood relatives of Grandia’s royal family have caused to the kingdom over the past few years is immeasurable. The blood of the hero of a thousand years ago has already faded to the point where it has become the blood of a miscellaneous bird rather than a phoenix. As we enter a new era, the ‘Star of Grandia’ will become a new dynasty. “I think it is appropriate to open the .”

After finishing his speech with a long and quaint description, Roberts Floyd bowed his head, and Daejeon became noisy again.

“Still, wouldn’t it be right to preserve the bloodline of the thousand-year royal family? I think it would be right to find collateral blood relatives and enthrone them. Even if the new king’s capabilities are a little lacking, wouldn’t it be enough for His Excellency Logan to act as regent?”

“It is better to rule directly rather than go through such a cumbersome process. What if a problem like the dead king arises again?”

“That’s a problem that can be solved by becoming regent!”

“So why do you have to go through that unnecessary process?”

Buzz.

The debate quickly spread throughout the hall.

However, after seeing Roberts’ slightly smiling face, Palman became convinced that this process was also intended by the McLane family.

‘You cover your eyes and go away. Are you trying to protect a cause?…’

In the meantime, he felt bitter about the fact that he could not participate in this important discussion and was only watching.

Above all, it felt like a cold wind was blowing into my chest when I realized that even though we were in the same faction, we were completely excluded from the discussion.

‘…I need to retire.’

The tension he felt at the beginning of the meeting soon degenerated into bitter regret and engulfed the old minister’s mind.

When Palman was making that decision.

“Stop! Everyone be quiet!”

bang. bang.

Logan, who was watching the debate between the ministers getting more and more heated, silenced the commotion with an indifferent expression.

“Now is not the time to argue over the throne! Since there is no agreement among the ministers, everything will be decided again after the kingdom is stabilized!”

Let’s end the meeting for today.

However, as if the aftermath of the fierce debate had not subsided, a counterargument emerged immediately.

“Your Excellency! It is not good for the throne of a country to remain vacant for a long time. It is better for you to come to a conclusion as quickly as possible…”

Adam Morgan.

The young minister who advocated a new dynasty looked at Logan with a confident expression.

“Viscount. Didn’t you hear what the Count said?”

A cold word from DeGrom, the commander of the McLane Knights who was standing below Logan, cooled the atmosphere again.

When Logan also supported the Knight Commander’s opinion by showing a firm expression, Adam Morgan had no choice but to immediately lower his head with a pale expression.

“Oh no. I… I’m sorry.”

– The decision regarding the next throne is on hold.

That was the end of the Daejeon meeting that day.

However, immediately after the meeting ended, a signature campaign began to take place among young ministers, including Adam Morgan.

– Logan McLane, the star of Grandia, is the hero who will build a new kingdom. He himself must lead the kingdom for the kingdom to live!

The argument began to heat up the entire kingdom, starting from the capital.

– Now the world of perfect McLine has arrived.

By the time everyone was feeling it.

Logan received a somewhat heartbreaking report.

“His Excellency has completed emergency treatment and been transported to the capital.”

“…Consciousness?”

“All of his wounds have healed, but he is still not conscious.”

“…Okay. Take him to a safe place as possible.”

“…yes!”

A safe place.

Logan’s expression as he said those words was bitter.

Since the positions of the punitive army and the rebels have been reversed, the leader of the punitive army will now be a criminal and have to go to prison.

The safe place he spoke of could only be a comfortable prison.

“If you wish to meet with me in Esperanza, please allow it and tell me to send a message to you as soon as you regain consciousness.”

“Yes, I understand.”

After sending the article back, Logan sighed deeply and fell into thought.

After a long time had passed, Logan, who seemed to have come to a conclusion, called Clayton, the kingdom’s only mage, to the king’s office.

“Did you call me?”

“Yes. I guess there is something that bothers me.”

“yes?”

“I thought I had stabilized the kingdom, but there are still other armed groups left. And they are quite large groups.”

Clayton couldn’t hide his bewildered expression at Logan’s words.

In today’s Grandia?

Are there any groups left who will reject McLane?

‘Even if that’s the case, why are you telling me that story…?’

He hesitated, unable to answer with a subtle expression, but Logan cleared up the confusion.

“The magic towers, the magic towers.”

“ah…?!”

“We need to unify all of the magic towers’ command authority.”

“But that’s…”

“We need to create an orderly system centered around Clayton, the kingdom’s only mage. The magic tower is also the kingdom’s power.”

“…The Magic Tower has maintained political neutrality according to custom.”

“It’s time to get rid of that practice.”

“yes? No matter what…”

It was just embarrassing for Clayton.

“It starts with the Magic Tower of the Earth.”

His expression changed drastically when he heard Logan’s next words.

“…I think it’s a good idea, Confucius. Shall I take the lead?” His

stance was rapid. Transition.

Feeling the feelings of the mage who seemed to have a lot in common, Logan nodded with a smile.
