Regressor of the Fallen Family - Chapter 229

Episode 229

“It was a visit at just the right moment. Everyone was gathered together.”

Logan’s impressions as he came around the Magic Tower of Fire were simple.

However, Clayton, who followed him, seemed to have something on his mind, hesitated for a moment and then quietly opened his mouth.

“But Mr. Logan, there are many wizards with strong pride and dirty personalities. Although they have succumbed to the power for now, they may come back with a bigger backlash later.”

“Now is not the time to question such things. If they rebel, just make them pay accordingly. We need their power right now.”

The life naturally added to the soft voice.

Clayton looked at Logan with a hardened face at that eerie feeling.

Logan’s momentum grew stronger after the civil war.

‘To be exact, it was after the confrontation with His Excellency the Sword Master.’

The problem is that, even while having a normal conversation, the momentum gets stronger and stronger and bursts out.

It felt like he was watching a bomb that might explode at any moment, so Clayton couldn’t help but feel worried.

However, Logan is also a superhuman who is already walking his own path. He was a hero of the times who even saved the kingdom from a civil war and overthrew the royal family by causing another civil war.

Even if you are young, you are not the right person to give advice.

Clayton thought about that and looked away with concern.

“I understand. I will show you complete control so that I can finish everything on my own.”

“Yes. I believe it.”

Around the time when Logan eliminated another variable in the capital.

A variable was also falling in the territory southeast of the capital.

“Stop it!”

“Viscount, your strength is too overwhelming. You must surrender!”

“Don’t laugh! These are ruthless bastards who went against the duty of their subjects and killed the king! I would rather die like this than surrender to those bastards!”

The face of the old knight who was reporting hardened at Viscount Orlando Ferg’s passionate shout.

‘Are you giving up everyone in your family out of loyalty?’

It was clearly visible that the family he had been involved with for a long time was heading towards extinction, but there was nothing he could do about it.

All I could do was watch in bewilderment as the flames spread beyond the devastated Viscounty territory and the flag of flames that created the devastation gradually gained momentum and approached the inner city.

“Cursed…!”

Skag.

dump.

Dengurrr.

Padric looked indifferently at the head he had cut off.

‘This is the end.’

The end of Orlando Perhi, the last surviving minister of state appointed by the dead king.

Now, all the groups that were openly opposing McLane have disappeared.

The subsequent reports from his subordinates also confirmed that fact.

“The outer castle has been completely cleaned up. The inner castle won’t take long either.”

“Good job, Henderson. I’ll return to the capital as soon as it’s over.”

“yes!”

‘The urgent fire has now been put out.’

As he looked at the burning Viscounty of Ferhi, Padric thought of a conflicting expression and smiled without realizing it.

Then, I was relieved once again when I realized that I had enough peace of mind to laugh.

However, his expression soon hardened again as a thought came to his mind.

‘What choice will Logan make now?’

In effect, the kingdom was in the hands of the family.

Until a few years ago, when the changes brought about by my son led to rapid growth in the family, I never imagined that things would turn out like this.

But at this big turning point that would probably lead to even bigger changes in the future, Padric couldn’t think of any advice to give his son.

Because I couldn’t come to a conclusion myself.

‘It’s a complicated problem, son.’

At least in his opinion, taking over a kingdom and becoming king were two different things.

To seize only real power by enthroning collateral blood relatives of the Grandia royal family.

Creating a McLane dynasty centered around Logan.

The two will have completely different ramifications.

And for Patrick, who had lived his entire life thinking about honor and family chivalry, it was difficult for him to say either of those things.

However, that concern was quickly brought to a conclusion by a word from a subordinate who seemed relatively calm.

“Huh? I’m just following what Prince Logan decides. Why don’t you take care of it yourself? Just like you’ve always done.”

“…Yeah. Ha, that’s right.”

The choice is not mine.

Although he was the lord of McLane, it was his son whom all the knights and residents actually followed.

It may be a cowardly thought, but…

‘Whatever you choose, Logan. Instead, I will give it my all and push you forward.’

Padric made that decision, and at that moment, what to do next changed.

“Henderson opens a path to return.”

“yes?”

“I will tour the territories near the capital and meet the lords. One day at a time will be fine.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Territories that have already conveyed their intention to surrender to McLane.

However, you might think differently, so I will make sure to impress you so that you don’t feel that way.

It was decided that the McLane army, which had suppressed the rebels, would tour the capital.

Declaration of support from the five major magic towers and quick suppression of the remnants of the King faction.

The tour of the territory that followed was news that was longed for by those who had joined McLane’s side even though it was belated.

And among them, Count Jacques Juan, the owner of the County of Juan near the capital, who could be said to be of quite high status, made another big decision at that point.

“Do everything you can to cooperate with McLane. Give everything you want, whether it’s money or troops! Even if you don’t need it, go find it!”

“Your Excellency. Is it necessary to go to that extent?”

“The more you invest, the more you will get in return. Now, McLane becomes a kingdom itself. The investment you make in the McLane family now will be rewarded with the scope of the kingdom! Do it no matter what! Damn, if you knew this would happen, it would have been since the civil war broke out. “I’m sending troops.”

Jacques Juan was running around with belated regret, but quickly picked up a pen as if he remembered something.

In the letter he soon wrote:

He was so full of flattery that his adjutant looked at him with bored eyes without realizing it.

And unfortunately for Jacques Juan, he was not the only nobleman who had similar thoughts.

In particular, the struggles of the nobles who were under martial law in the capital were more blatant.

“Well, it will only take a moment. Let me meet His Excellency! This is really precious…”

“Kick it out.”

“yes!”

The old nobleman’s earnest request was easily ignored along with Eilen’s sharp voice.

The place where Logan currently resides is not the royal castle, but his mansion within the capital.

Although his intention was to protect his position as temporary regent, he naturally had no choice but to invite approaches from numerous nobles.

Thanks to this, Eilen, who took over as temporary governor, sighed softly as he looked at the nobles crowding around outside the mansion.

Among the knights who had wielded swords all their lives, there was no one who could take on the role of temporary commander-in-chief, so he took on the position half willingly.

‘I’ve only been cutting with knives my whole life.’

Perhaps her position as Logan’s fiancee played a big role.

Of course, it wasn’t that I didn’t like it.

There are just a lot of things to worry about.

“This is an important time. Do not allow the tongues of the deceitful to reach Him. Block all access and send them back immediately.”

“yes!”

When Eilen commanded in a stern voice, the knights responded in unison and bowed their heads.

However, Eilen’s expression, which she calmly turned around to see, soon became noticeably distorted when she noticed a person’s face.

“Eilen! It’s Abby! I brought a gift for your son-in-law, or your Excellency. This is a really good thing for a man… Haha. I can’t say anything, but this is really it.”

Her father waves to her with a big smile.

Eilen, who unconsciously covered her face, tried to ignore the sight and shouted.

“Don’t let them in! Send them back as quickly as possible!”

“…yes!”

“Ailen? Daughter?! Let go, you bastards! I am the father of Lord Eilen, the best female knight in the kingdom?! The future queen…! Don’t let go? Huh?”

Ugh, father…

Her face gradually heated up as she heard a familiar voice coming from behind.

Fortunately, the knights seemed to have done a good job, so the voices soon faded away, and Eilen, who quickly composed himself, let out a small sigh and asked his subordinate.

“Any other problems?”

“Security is in perfect control. There are some complaints from friendly nobles, but we have dealt with them all as you said before.”

“Yes. Confucius, did you repair the armor?”

“Yes. He’ll have it back soon.”

“Is he in prison?”

“I know that too…”

“Yes. Please bring all such stories to me first so that Confucius doesn’t have to worry about trivial matters in the future, okay?”

“Of course, Sir Eilen.”

“Okay. Let’s go.”

As soon as the subordinate turned around, Eilen headed back to the kitchen of the mansion, received the tea and teacup prepared in advance from the maid, and then headed to her fiancé.

smart.

– It’s Eileen.

At the familiar voice, a smile appeared on Logan’s face, even if just for a moment.

“Come on in.”

I was even more glad to see her because I was just at the moment when the few lines of the report in front of me was making me feel confused.

These days, the only moments I can laugh at are with this caring lover.

Squeak.

“All the nobles who wanted to meet the prince were sent away. Among the nobles who came today, there were two nobles above the rank of count: Count Roman and Count Floyd.”

“Flo…? And your father-in-law?”

“yes.”

A slight blush spread across Eileen’s face at the word father-in-law.

Although she was a very reserved fiancee who started talking about work as soon as she saw her face, she just looked cute at times like this.

“Still, I guess I could let my father-in-law in…”

“I didn’t want you to be interrupted by a useless meeting at such an important time.”

Eilen’s eyes scanned the report in front of Logan.

Since it was something everyone close to him knew anyway and it wasn’t something he really wanted to hide, Logan didn’t hide the report.

And even though Eilen must have seen the contents of the report, he just calmly put down his teacup.

“It’s a tea. They say it has the effect of clearing the mind and calming down distracting thoughts. Drink it little by little.”

“…Thank you every time.”

“What? Of course it has to be done.”

“Nothing difficult?”

“yes.”

Again.

The conversation, which had continued in a calm, short answer format, ended abruptly with that.

It was too simple to be a conversation between lovers, but as they sat facing each other and tilted their tea cups, there was a subtle smile on their lips.

A time of many worries.

This was almost the only time I could relax and calm my busy mind. It was Eilen’s consideration, who knew about Logan’s concerns, and Logan also accepted the consideration happily.

But is it because my mind has relaxed that much?

“…I’ll just go.”

A moment later, Eilen stands up from his seat and turns around to leave.

Logan asked a question without realizing it.

“What do you want me to do?”

Eilen pauses at those words.

But fortunately, the answer came without delay.

“I don’t care what you choose.”

Although it wasn’t the answer Logan wanted.

“You are the one who gave me the opportunity to achieve my dreams and made me feel even more accomplished. Now I will help you. Whatever you choose.”

It was a powerful enough answer.

We praise Your Excellency for your bravery in driving out a ruthless tyrant…(omitted)… Even from far away in our territory, we sincerely wish for Your Excellency’s success.

The nobles’ kite is almost complete. Then…
