Regressor of the Fallen Family - Chapter 262
Episode 262 – I will tell you something.
Logan, who sent his father and father-in-law away with such a rant, took a deep breath and stood up.
At this time, Eilen should be at the training ground.
“Contact the female military training center. I will visit it myself… No, no, just leave it alone. I will go and see it myself.”
“yes!”
Logan, who was excitedly about to leave the office, stopped for a moment.
It was the simplest question that crossed my mind.
‘What… say?’
After the Riina incident in his previous life, he developed misogyny and had no relationships with women throughout his previous life. Of course, even if it wasn’t a mental issue, it wasn’t an easy life where he could leisurely meet a woman and start a family.
As a result, I couldn’t help but feel inadequate even when dealing with Eilen, the precious person I met in this life.
Nevertheless, the reason his relationship with Eileen is good is entirely because she has a big heart. At least that’s what Logan thought.
‘Well, I wasn’t even thinking about getting married.’
A bitter smile came out.
He was someone who comforted my heart just by being around him, so I came to take it for granted.
So I was even more sorry and thankful.
So now I had to tell her that I wanted to be with her for the rest of my life, but I couldn’t think of words that could fully express my feelings.
‘Thank you for waiting so long. ‘Will you marry me…?’
Ugh no. I’m getting goosebumps.
‘It’s almost time to get married, so let’s do it?’
…It looks like trash.
‘Will you become the queen of this country…?’
Pathetic!
I didn’t like any of the thoughts that came to mind.
“Really, what is it…”
Surely you wouldn’t reject it or hate it?
My heart started pounding as if I had encountered a life-or-death enemy.
“…Let’s go first.”
Logan, who couldn’t think of a suitable alternative, ultimately decided to give it a go and see as he always did.
* * *
“Your Majesty. Why without warning…?”
When Logan arrived at the training site, female military instructors, including Eileen, rushed out as a group.
Logan was momentarily embarrassed, but soon calmed down and sent all the instructors away, leaving only Eilen behind.
I could feel the people turning around, lowering their heads and smiling strangely, but I didn’t have to pay any attention to it.
It was something I saw often, and today, all my attention was especially focused on Eilen.
“What’s going on?”
“Oh, that’s it…”
Logan couldn’t speak right away. The unfounded expectation that something would come to my mind when it happened has long since completely disappeared.
Eilen, who seemed to find the embarrassed expression on his face amusing, chuckled and gently grabbed Logan’s arm.
“If it’s something you don’t want to talk about here, let’s go to the official residence. Tea is always ready.”
“Then what about training…?!”
What are you talking about, you bastard!
Even when I thought about it, it seemed absurd.
“It’s running just fine without me now.”
Eilen didn’t know whether Logan knew he was hurting himself, but he just smiled and pulled him away.
Again.
Tea poured into a teacup with a refreshing scent.
The scent that always calmed my mind did not have the same effect today as usual.
As my heart continued to pound, my eyes kept looking at things around me.
Eileen asked in a shaky voice if it was strange that Logan kept looking around, even though it wasn’t the first time he had tea time in his office.
“…What are you doing?”
“Oh no, I thought the office was really simple… I was reflecting on how indifferent I was.”
The office, which had nothing but a desk, a chair, and a simple bookshelf, looked particularly empty today.
“I heard you liked it because it was neat in the past?”
“Ah haha. Is that so?”
Whoop.
Logan was drinking tea, hastily covering his face with a teacup out of embarrassment, and Eileen looked at him with a strange expression.
“Why on earth are you like this today? Do you want to say anything special?”
Cough.
My face became even hotter as the tea squirted out from Sare.
“Ah hmm. The car is a bit hot. Ah, it’s hot.”
“I heard tea has to be hot to taste good?”
As attempts to hide his flushed face failed, a strange silence fell in the office.
“….”
“….”
Eilen’s blue eyes staring at him.
Those eyes, which normally seemed lovely, now somehow felt heavy, and I kept lowering my head.
“Do you have something to tell me? What’s wrong with you? It’s not like you.”
Only after hearing those words did Logan come to his senses.
Why on earth am I doing this?
I had to do it anyway, and there was no way she would refuse.
okay. No
way….
“Ah. Hmm… that’s right. I have something to tell you…”
Logan tried to muster up courage by hiding his slightly trembling voice, but Eilen suddenly asked.
“Shall we at least get married?”
Push!
Collock. Collock.
This time I really heard the story.
As I continued to cough, I suddenly felt ashamed and angry.
“Who on earth spoke first…!”
“Is this real!?”
Her slightly shocked face and high-pitched voice shattered Logan’s illusions.
“Ah… that. That…”
“Really, that…?”
A couple looks at each other with blank expressions, each for different reasons.
The two people, startled by the gaze they met, turned their heads slightly.
‘Why do I keep doing stupid things like this?’
Logan sighed softly, trying to suppress his pounding heart.
When I looked to the side out of the corner of my eye, I saw Eilen with the back of her neck stained red. As I looked at that lovely figure, I felt even more ridiculous for having worried for no reason.
When I thought about it that way, words came out more easily than before.
“Hmm. Hmm. Yes, that’s right. Will you marry me, Eileen?”
There was no long rhetoric.
Just honest and plain words.
Realizing once again that sincerity can be expressed without the need for fancy epithets, Logan looked at Eileen with a brighter face.
“….”
But, uneasily, Eilen had no answer.
no way. no way.
No, I guess not?
“…no, I do not want?”
“Oh no, no! What I don’t like is…!”
The sight of him jumping up and down and waving his hands made me even more anxious.
You don’t like it?
So you’re saying it’s not a good thing?
“Uh… Hmm. Was that too sudden? Then take time to think…”
My eyebrows twitched and my voice wavered in an unexpected situation.
“No, no, I’m getting married. I have to.”
Eilen suddenly bit her lip and quickly answered.
It was the answer he had been waiting for, but the atmosphere was so different from what he had imagined that Logan could not hide his nervousness.
“…uh. uh…why…?”
Was that timid reaction again the problem?
Eilen, whose face was red, looked at Logan with eyes that seemed to glow with blue flames.
Then, he started speaking quickly.
“Even though there’s no ring or anything romantic, I have to do it even though I don’t know how many more years I’ll have to wait if I refuse now.”
ah!!!!
At that moment, a crushing realization hit Logan on the back of his head.
‘Why didn’t I think of that?’
Cold sweat ran down my back.
I couldn’t think about anything because I was in such a hurry to rush over. No matter how much he doesn’t know women, he ignores even basic common sense.
Out of desperation, I burst out laughing in a way that did not suit the situation.
“Are you smiling? Are you laughing? After proposing to me in such a bleak way?”
However, seeing that the pouting and grumbling look was just adorable, I was able to realize one thing for sure.
I really love this person.
So I laughed even more.
“Yes. I still like it.”
“…Like a fool.”
The sight of her slightly turning her head was a little disturbing, but when Logan saw a smile on Eilen’s lips, he smiled even brighter and hugged her.
“I’m sorry. I made you wait. And I proposed to you so rudely.”
“…I just need to know.”
“And thank you. For accepting me anyway.”
“Chi…”
I can feel the warmth of pouting lips in my ear.
The warm body temperature that fills my chest.
It filled Logan’s heart with pride.
He said it with all his heart and sincerity.
“I will do better in the future as much as I have not done well now.”
Did those calm words make sense?
Eilen, smiling, made direct eye contact with him and said.
“I will do well, too. As a queen and a knight.”
“…to?”
article?
Logan made a dumbfounded sound at the appearance of a word that did not fit the situation.
“Did you forget? My original dream was to be a knight, not a queen.”
“Ah…”
Logan was momentarily speechless due to that firm voice, but Eilen continued speaking with a slight expression.
“I’m serious. Don’t think of leaving me out of training or combat just because you’re queen. I have no intention of giving up being a knight. I’d rather give up being queen.”
Logan’s eyes wavered at those words.
It was a half-threat, but this was also out of consideration on her part.
It made no sense to leave a force as strong as her in the rear just a few years before the war with the Empire.
As a strong woman on the border of superhumanity and as a symbol of commanding the female soldiers who had now become a part of her complete power, she was clearly an indispensable being.
Logan was grateful and sorry for that feeling, so he bit his lip.
“…Okay, let’s do that.”
Pick.
“What is that look on your face? Are you really worried about me now?”
The sight of her gently pulling his cheek while being hugged deeply resonated with me once again.
“No. Because it’s lovely.”
The moment when a reminded expression and a smile intersect.
A deep kiss followed without anyone deciding who went first.

– Prepare for the national wedding.
The news delivered from the royal family of McLane caused an uproar throughout the kingdom.
It was already a widely known story that King Logan had a fiancée and that that fiancé was a knight, but nevertheless, a national marriage was an auspicious event for the country.
Of course, despite the recent selection, for most ordinary people it was just news from another, distant world.
“I heard your Majesty is getting married?”
“Wow. Then what else is happening?”
“What happened?”
“…isn’t it happening?”
“Why did it happen?”
“…For example, a festival commemorating the national wedding will be held.”
“Say nonsense. Even if you do, you’ll only say it in the capital.”
“Oh. Is that so?”
“Okay. Just go about your business.”
“…uh.”
However, the reaction of the royal family in the capital and the McLane estate was different.
“Wow! Our Grand Duke is getting married!”
“You man! It’s no longer the Archduke, it’s Your Majesty!”
“Anyway! It’s a sergeant!”
“That’s right! The lord will probably throw a big party too!”
“What is a feast? It’s a festival! It’s a festival!”
“Wahahahah. Long live! Long live!”
The residents of McLane territory, who had benefited from the policies made by Logan for 6-7 years ago, were happy as if it were their own business.
“Prepare the national wedding!”
“Prepare a grand feast!”
“Everything is perfect. We need to make a wedding! Everyone, focus!”
Dwayne shouted hour after hour, urging the royal officials and servants.
‘There must not be a single flaw!’
The people under him died as the Minister of Finance shouted with his eyes wide open.
“You can spend as much money as you want! best! Everything is tailored to the highest standards!”
The good news was that the Minister of Finance was not obsessed with money at all. In fact, he was ready to waste the national treasury.
“Send invitations to the royal families of neighboring countries! Let’s show the success of the royal family of McLane!”
A thought naturally came to the minds of those who followed the order.
– This is going to be a bigger party than expected.
As soon as the news spread around them, those who reacted faster than anyone else. “Do you
think this will bring together merchants from all over the country?”
“Then why don’t we make it a little bigger?”
“Okay. Let’s make a fuss in Grand right now!”
When it comes to envoys from a certain country, there is no case where only one envoy comes.
The movement of merchants and goods that follow is no different from another form of trade. The kingdom’s All the merchants were interested in the foreign delegations that would gather on the occasion of the national wedding and began to gather in the capital. The royal
finance minister led the atmosphere and the big merchants centered in the capital further increased the situation, causing excitement and commotion that started in the capital. The atmosphere soon spread to the residents of the capital:
“There’s a festival!”
“It’s the country’s feast!”
“Wow!”
The heated atmosphere of the kingdom was also conveyed to someone far to the west of the kingdom.
