Regressor of the Fallen Family - Chapter 360

Director 360 Fire still remembered that day.

No, I couldn’t forget it.

The saddest day in my life 24 years ago.

– Luisa, don’t forget your mom.

A nostalgic face that looks at itself with a haggard expression and sheds tears.

mom.

The queen was being dragged away by people who did not know who her wife was, but her father, who was only a good king, could not stop them.

– You have to forget Luisa.

He just said something different from his mother and hugged her.

The young girl had no idea what had happened. I just cried and threw a tantrum because I was told that I would never see my mother again.

Her father, who had been summoned to the imperial capital to leave her behind, returned a long time later. And that night, I hugged the little girl who was looking for her mother and cried all night long.

– sorry. I’m sorry Luisa. I’m really sorry, Dad….

From that day on, King Dongyik, the wing of the empire, neglected government affairs and only drank alcohol.

It was a difficult reality for young Luisa to bear. Her mother, who always hugged her warmly, disappeared, and her affectionate father no longer treated her.

From then on, Luisa became a troublemaker who wandered around the palace and caused accidents, and the once perfect family fell apart.

Then one day.

In the midst of days when I felt like I could break at any moment like a sheet of thin ice, a change occurred.

– How painful are you?

An old man with a warm appearance. He was a jester brought in by a loyal subject to entertain the distraught king.

But the old clown showed a miracle in front of them.

– There will come a chance to right everything that has been twisted.

The Great Mage, who was thought not to exist in this era, reached out his hand to them.

– The time of prophecy is coming soon. When our wishes come true, the Imperial Household and the Emperor will pay the price.

– And the day he came….

At the time, Luisa didn’t know what he meant, but she clearly remembered her father’s expression of joy for the first time in a long time.

From then on, her father stopped drinking, smiled all the time and began actively engaging in outside activities, and the trouble-making young princess began receiving training from the magician because she seemed to have a talent for magic.

Some time passed and Luisa became curious about things from the past.

Her teacher told her the truth of that day.

– The queen….

Her mother was accused of not following the orders of the current emperor, who wanted to solidify his position as the crown prince at the time, and disappeared into the dew of execution. But the mother’s only crime was that she was the sister of another prince who was the emperor’s rival.

That changed the fate of the father and daughter.

In addition, the teacher told her something shocking that she had never imagined.

– Your father, King Dongik, personally executed his wife.

Did you say it was to prove loyalty to the crown prince?

At first, I thought it was definitely a lie.

But soon, the image of my father greeting the imperial messenger on that tragic day came to mind.

– How could you hesitate when it comes to punishing criminals involved in treason?

I didn’t know what he meant at the time, but the memory of that day was still clear. And now she understood what he meant.

The relationship between father and daughter, which had been barely maintained, ended that day.

– why! Why did you do that! why!!

She was screaming like crazy and her father wasn’t laughing as much as he did back then.

After a while, a heavy voice came out of my father’s mouth.

– …It was what your mother wanted. It’s all about you and your family…

– Don’t be ridiculous!

Those words didn’t convince Luisa.

I already knew by then.

The couple loved each other so much that it was hard to believe that it was an arranged marriage, and they also loved their daughter, the fruit of that love, very much.

If my father hadn’t done that, the owner of Dongwangbu would have changed immediately.

But even though I understood it with my head, I couldn’t accept it with my heart.

In the end, Luisa said something that would hit everyone hard in the heart – You abandoned your mother so that we could survive!!

After that, the father and daughter did not have any real conversations other than things related to ‘work’.

Such a long time has passed.

After a long period of time passed until King Dongik became known as the world’s most unloving husband and king of snake snakes, and the princess became an unknown mage who learned ancient magic, the time of prophecy finally arrived.

Evidence of the era when the gods left appeared, and the power of those who change fate was also confirmed.

however.

– The imperial family drew its sword. All elders, prepare for seclusion.

Are you telling me to hold my breath again and bide my time?

‘You can’t do that!’

The anger that had been buried forever since that day was already unsealed, so the actor had no intention of leaving the stage.

So Luisa laughed.

Like a father who now feels so distant.

With a face without any feelings.

“Hoho. I find it even more strange that the Count is surprised. I guess he’s forgotten why I came here.”

“Oh, I’m perplexed. It seems completely different from what you said a while ago.”

That’s because things have changed.

Luisa smiled again even as she looked at her sharp red eyes.

“Haven’t you heard the saying that a woman’s heart is like a reed? As we talked, I really liked the Count.”

“Was there anything romantic about our conversation? That’s a scary thing to say.”

Despite Luisa’s captivating smile, Ronian only showed a wary reaction. For Luisa, it was refreshing in a way to see a young man react like this to her.

“It’s terrible to even imagine bringing into the house the person who committed terrorism in the royal palace.”

The red-haired young man, who played the role of lover and was in fact attached as his watchdog, now expressed it directly without any metaphor.

Eat.

Looking at that scene, Luisa burst into laughter.

‘Well, it’s natural over there.’

The first start went wrong, but in a marriage of their status, each other’s feelings were not important anyway.

“Wouldn’t it be helpful to the kingdom?”

“yes?”

Ronian asked back with a puzzled expression, but Luisa continued speaking in a calm voice.

“You are preparing for a war with the empire. I understand that the royal family has put a lot of effort into suppressing the recent incident. Do you know if a marriage with me takes place? If a war breaks out, will there be a response from within the empire?”

“Hahaha. What a ridiculous thing to say…”

Yes. If you don’t know our situation, that would be a normal reaction.

And in fact, it was also an unrealistic bluff.

‘If I order the Dongwangbu’s troops to point their swords at the imperial family, they will aim at my father instead.’

Regardless of the will of each individual soldier, it was simply a system that was designed that way from the beginning and was related to the background that laid the foundation for the Four Directions Kingdom.

One of the empire’s secrets that can never be known to the outside world.

Particularly in wartime conditions, protest was absolutely impossible.

That was why the father and daughter turned their gaze to the outside world.

But Luisa had no intention of backing down.

‘This country will be able to withstand the imperial offensive. Contrary to what is known to the outside world.’

She felt this fact clearly while staying in the royal castle. I could tell just by looking at the hidden superhumans like the young count and his close friend, as well as the servants who had planned and brainwashed them, that they came back to their senses in less than a week.

There is no way the king, the one who changes fate, can go around freeing his servants from brainwashing them one by one. Besides, if that were the case, he would have already warned me.

That means.

‘It even has magical powers that I can’t figure out.’

Of course, I don’t think that will defeat the empire.

As a member of the Kassel Magic Tower, I learned from observing the imperial family’s secret struggles that the power of the imperial family was much greater than I had guessed.

However, for the Tower’s wishes, the bigger the scale of the war, the better.

Therefore, the stronger the resistance of the kingdom, the better.

If they could make someone who changes fate take their hand in despair, there would be nothing more they could wish for.

‘There’s no way the king will trust me or us anyway. No matter what you do.’

It was no different from the fate that a wizard with the power to interfere with human souls had to bear. Moreover, since they have already committed something, it is difficult to gain their trust.

So, you should emphasize that you can be helpful to this kingdom.

“I understand you don’t trust me, so let’s make a deal.”

“Deal?”

Because her face was still untrustworthy, Luisa had no choice but to take out her card first.

“Let’s be honest with each other about what we know. The leaders of both countries will now know that the kingdom is hostile to the empire and that the empire is preparing for war. Only the imperial family may not pay much attention to the kingdom.”

“…Hmm. Let’s continue.”

“No, it’s inevitable. If a war breaks out in the near future, I will steal as much of the imperial military’s secrets as I can access from the Eastern King’s Office. Isn’t that worth more as a wedding gift?”

Luisa smiled seductively as her red eyes glowed even brighter after hearing those words.

‘Helps this kingdom and forces damage to the empire. So much so that the blood flows and overflows and covers the world. Then it itself becomes a sacrifice…’

The face of the great teacher, Tapju, with a grave expression appeared in Luisa’s mind.

– …Then I won’t stop you. Do as much as you can. In any case, the collision between the two will probably speed up a bit. If all goes well, the emperor’s attention can also be tied there.

– thank you.

– But keep in mind. The secrets you and your father have kept hidden until now may be revealed to the emperor.

– I’m willing to take it.

– …good night. Because of your sacrifices, that day will come faster.

– It is an honour.

– The era in which the gods have left, or rather the era in which they should leave, eradicates the weakening influence of the gods and makes them descend. Then…

‘We elders, as His apostles…’

will receive everything we desire.

Luisa regained her composure as she remembered the long-lost face that was now fading away.

But Ronian spoke with a serious face.

“If the princess really marries me, wouldn’t the Eastern Kingfu be excluded from the emperor’s plan the moment a war breaks out? I’m not sure if what you said is possible.”

As expected, he didn’t give in easily and there was some truth in what he said.

‘The emperor…’

I remembered what my father said before again.

– If your teacher had been scarier than the emperor, you wouldn’t have held hands.

The despair his father felt must have been greater than that of the child himself when ‘that incident’ happened.

I answered that I would keep it in mind, but the words did not resonate with me.

‘Something like the emperor.’

Her teacher was the one who inherited the essence of the magic saint who saved ancient mankind. Even the information about the founder’s bloodline, which was said to be essential for the great cause in the past, has been lost over a long period of time. Now, a person who predicted a ‘fate changer’ who is not even in the records of the founder and even developed a transcendental magic spell for him. This was him.

I say that I am inferior to the great mages of ancient times, but that is only because of the era when mana disappeared.

He is a genius whose magical achievements are comparable to those of the founder. Her teacher was that kind of person.

In comparison, what about the emperor?

He is just a petty man who executes even unrelated women in order to maintain his position.

‘His power simply comes from that place.’

He is just a human being who will be miserably crushed by his own hands on the day his wish comes true.

As I thought about that, I made up my mind again.

“…That is a wise thing to say. However, please do not ignore the power of the Four Directions King. Even if he is excluded from the imperial family, he can do that much. And in fact, the marriage contract is just an excuse.”

“Excuse?”

“As you know, the period of time I was supposed to stay in the castle has already passed. Even the excuse of using the attack as a pretext for recuperation has slowly reached its limit.”

“…are you saying that the excuse for staying here longer is that you are married? Isn’t that too much?”

“If I go back to Wangbu now, I can’t tell you when I will be able to go out again.”

In fact, he had been hiding his identity and working in secret, but there was no way they knew about it. Considering her status as a princess, it was a good enough excuse.

In addition, there was a reason to help force the empire to suffer losses, but there were other reasons as well.

Rather, there is a more important reason than that.

– When our consciousness begins, the law of causality will be shaken, and then the gods will try to intervene in the world even if it is unreasonable. In particular, they will try to eliminate those who change fate. In the worst case, an apostle may come down.

– The only thing that can recognize the descended Apostle in this world is our Kassel Tower. So you keep him there. Until that day comes.

Another reason why the Master accepted his pressure.

As Luisa was recalling that and organizing her thoughts, the red-haired young man in front of her was also nodding after deep thought.

‘also.’

He now understood that his proposal was helpful to the kingdom.

And strangely enough, it was an obvious choice for this young man to follow his older brother as the king of this country.

“It’s not a bad offer. It wouldn’t be difficult to make a false excuse real…”

That’s right!

“I’m glad you understand. I think you’ll really like this, Count.”

I thought maybe about 10% of it was sincere, but the other person seemed to think it was just a joke.

He chuckled, put down his teacup, and suddenly asked.

“…Can I ask you something?”

“Yes. As much as you want.”

“We find the uniqueness of the princess’s status quite fascinating. But seeing what you’re saying now, we feel strangely confident.”

“Hmm.”

“Do you by any chance hate the Empire?”

Luisa’s expression, who had been laughing along with Ronian and putting down her teacup, hardened slightly.

The princess of an empire hates the empire?

When an average person heard it, it was a story that made absolutely no sense, but Ronian’s eyes as he said it were literally filled with confidence.

hmm.

‘Hate.’

It’s not wrong, but the resentment of the little girl who lost her mother was too deep to be expressed simply as hatred.

From then on, I lived my life with only one thing in mind.

It had now gone beyond hatred and had become life itself.

Luisa chuckled and bit her lip slightly. Then he quietly stood up and whispered in Ronian’s ear.

“…If you want to know my secret, I will tell you it in bed after we get married.”

Seeing Ronian’s face instantly turn red, I felt a strange sense of victory.

Because now he seemed like a man his age.

“I’ll see you again next time with good news. Then I’ll be gone.”

That was the moment when Luisa smiled and turned around.

“Kung!”

A pretty puppy with silver fur was barking at him.

A dog in the royal palace?

And without a leash?

I looked back at Ronian in bewilderment, and he said with a light smile.

“Ah, it’s Tyr. This is the puppy that my brother brought from somewhere. There was an order to leave it alone wherever it wanders around the palace.”

“Ah…yes.”

It is a dog that grazes in the royal palace.

The person who changes fate seems to have unique tastes.

Luisa simply understood and turned around, but the silver puppy was looking at her disappearing back with strange eyes.
