I Regressed to My Ruined Family

I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 143

＃After returning, the family was ruined (144)

“This is Your Majesty Lionel. “Can I come in?”

“Please come in.”

Soon the Marquis entered the King’s office.

“I heard the general report. “Thank you for your hard work.”

There was an awkwardness in the king’s tone as he spoke.

The reason was simple.

“It is said that the executives of the Capital Magic Council were handled by the Duke.”

“You mean everything?”

“yes. “From the bishop to the high-ranking wizards who received the Blue Dragon badge… the leader himself said that he had done very little.”

“….”

From the reports of the knights who came first, all they heard was that the marquis had not done anything special.

Naturally, even when I said that I had a hard time, I couldn’t help but feel awkward.

“haha. What a hardship. “I really didn’t do anything, Your Majesty.”

“What exactly is the situation?”

I knew that the executives of the Capital Magic Council were dealt with by the Duke, but the articles that reported first did not explain the process in detail. This was because Marquis Lionel was the only person who watched the duke’s activities.

“That’s it…”

The bishop’s stone tablet and the isolation of space.

In the meantime, the Duke showed amazing performance. As the Marquis’ explanation continued, Delprion’s eyes gradually opened wider.

“The duke’s skills far exceeded my expectations.”

“Huh… Are you saying that the Marquis himself would admit it?”

“yes. After sparring with the Duke today, I became convinced. “There will be no knight as talented as him to protect the kingdom for the next generation.”

It was the Marquis who dismissed even that milestone as a talent who could only do the basics.

I would never have thought that I would praise the Duke so much, who is similar in age to me.

Although the Earl of Wallington also had a high opinion of the Duke, the Marquis’s assessment in terms of military force was bound to be much more reliable.

Wasn’t he one of the few transcendents in the kingdom?

“What did you think your disposition was?”

“It was truly Ardan-like.”

“Hehe….”

It’s like Ardan.

To put it in a good way, it is full of dignified airs, but to put it in a bad way…

it is ‘overly subversive.’

That wasn’t strange.

Because the past heads of Ardan generally had such tendencies.

Although they were thieves, it was the Duke of Ardan who performed their duties as nobles better than anyone else.

That is why past kings did not bother to touch Ardan.

It is a family that is close to a sanctuary and will take care of itself if left alone, so why bother trying to keep it in check?

Then, people tended to just say that they should just pay their taxes rather than see the bloodshed. Because the ducal family did not try to intervene in central politics, the relationship between the royal family and the ducal family was generally close to the dull relationship between cows and chickens.

‘But now…’

The situation in the kingdom had changed rapidly.

7th Street and the Order.

Because the two organizations and the king were engaged in a fierce secret struggle.

By paying compensation to Agiles and destroying the capital magic society, the royal family was able to communicate more closely with Ardan.

‘I guess we can look forward to it.’

Denomination and 7th Street.

The current situation in the kingdom was extremely chaotic.

If it were Duke Ethan…

‘Perhaps he could be the key to unraveling this complicated thread…’

The reason why the noble Aguiles paid the compensation without saying anything was because of the situation in the 7th family that was beginning to divide. Who caused division in the seemingly solid 7th family?

It was Duke Ethan.

At least a reliable blade that you don’t have to worry about stabbing your back.

Ardan would be able to faithfully perform this role.

“Then I don’t think there’s much to worry about.”

“He was the one who generously gave enlightenment even to the children of the seven families with whom there was conflict. “His appearance is truly that of a great man, so I believe he will become a knight who will silently protect the kingdom like he has done so far.”

Delprion nodded.

Ardan was a family that endured such noble sacrifices that even the king had no choice but to acknowledge them.

“Now that we have taken a big hit, the church will not remain silent. “I think the Marquis will have to work diligently for the time being.”

“I will.”

The Marquis’ eyes lit up.

Perhaps the archbishop, one of the highest ranking members of the denomination, could make the move himself. Among the members of the King faction, the only one who could stop him was himself. It seemed like I would have to move diligently for the time being.

* * *

Kingdom Academy.

A strange rumor spread there.

“So now… His Excellency the Marquis Lionel and Duke Ethan are sparring? “And within the academy?”

“Yes, Principal. Rumors have already begun to spread throughout the kingdom. “It is said that in a sparring match where he used the same level of mana as Duke Ethan, Marquis Lionel personally admitted to a draw.”

Count Mühlen broke into a cold sweat.

The Shadow Knights are known to stop a crying child as soon as they hear it.

Marquis Lionel was the leader of the knights.

‘Besides, this time…’

It’s not like I didn’t use mana like the last time I sparred with the Duke. Wasn’t it known that he used mana at the same level as the duke? Even with the same mana, the power and power of the technology naturally varied depending on who used it and how.

Even if a Marquis, a transcendental person, uses mana similar to an 8-star knight, he would use mana skillfully enough to defeat even a 9-star superhuman.

To achieve a draw in such a sparring match…

“The Duke’s skills… were beyond my imagination. It is natural for students to be dissatisfied with the class. haha.”

It was truly like a dream to have such an expert personally conduct training. Also, being able to have a teacher of that level at the age of nineteen like the Duke.

‘…It’s probably a luxury you can’t enjoy even in the Seven Kingdoms.’

Even if they possess superhumans and transcendents, aren’t they only nineteen years old?

“Is this fact known to the students?”

“Yes, Principal. It is said that His Excellency the Marquis personally testified that the rumors were true. Thanks to that, this news is spreading all over the place.”

“Ugh…”

Count Mühlen grabbed his throbbing head. It was already a situation where students were begging several times a day to be allowed to attend Duke’s class at least once.

In this situation, if the transcendent’s remarks spread inside the academy.

‘How… can I afford it?’

No matter how I looked at it, it seemed like I couldn’t handle it.

The Count smiled bitterly.

Even if the professor is excellent, he or she is so good that it causes headaches. No matter how you look at it, isn’t it an absurd situation?

“Furthermore, since classes began to be held in secret training halls, students are complaining that they are no longer able to watch the Duke’s classes.”

“haha. I’m dissatisfied even if I show it, and I’m dissatisfied even if I don’t show it. “I’m going to be thrilled.”

“I would rather ask His Excellency the Duke to also conduct classes for general students…”

“Do you think the 7th family will like it? “I think it will spark a fight.”

It was already rumored throughout the kingdom that the Duke’s teaching skills were outstanding. Even now, in a situation where late-stage students are itching to take even one more hour of class, are they asking regular students to invest their time?

The headmaster remembered the Duke’s thick arms he had seen last time. If I were not careful, something terrible could have happened to that arm.

“Besides, how many students are there at the academy and why are you asking for classes? And that’s in a situation where everyone wants to take the class. “I won’t be able to handle it.”

“…That’s right.”

“It will calm down over time. “Let’s wait and see.”

Academy.

Count Mühlen was realizing with each passing day that this place was too small to confine a man of such talent as this.

Outside the window, members of the special unit could be seen moving behind the duke.

―I heard you shared a sword with His Excellency the Marquis Lionel…

―I heard you said that if you look across the entire Western Continent, there will be no better late exponent than the Duke?

―I also want to take the duke’s class. Ha, I’m jealous….

-How can I make a request?

-it’s crazy? There is no way the children of the 7th family will like it. As students, there would be no way for us to be noticed.

The principal sighed as he saw the students starting to mutter.

It is said that a horse without feet can travel a thousand miles, and the proverb of the world is never wrong.

The principal trembled as he remembered the Duke’s cold eyes.

It wasn’t that I was unable to even request a class because I was afraid to speak up.

They were just enduring it in silence for the sake of the political situation and the convenience of the operation.

Now was the time to endure in silence.

* * *

After watching the sparring match with Marquis Lionel. Students in the special class took class with greater enthusiasm than before.

The peacock is strong.

This was because what I had only thought in my mind until now was completely proven to be reality.

From the moment they acknowledged it, the desire for improvement that had built up in the hearts of the late exponents was burning brilliantly.

They were the next head of the family who would live in the same generation as the duke. If you can’t even follow this class that the duke is teaching right now…

‘Even if you go for the rest of your life, you won’t be able to catch up with him.’

I will be weighed down by the name Ardan for the rest of my life.

The late exponents instinctively realized that fact. The sense of crisis that I had vaguely felt until now began to feel directly on my skin.

Ethan chuckled at the sight of him training without even a moment’s rest, even though he was sweating profusely.

‘I guess I’ve finally decided to do it right.’

Although I still participated in class diligently in my own way. As to whether it was really so passionate that it made my heart swell, it wasn’t.

But it was different now.

He began to raise his own limits.

‘Is there about two months left?’

The duration of the special class was approximately 3 months per semester.

About a month had passed now, so the remaining class period was approximately two months.

Ethan remembered his purpose.

He readily accepted the invitation to the special class. It was to create a bond with the 7th Street.

Even if they were from the same 7 families, they were not all ruthless.

The performance over the past month has been quite successful.

Not only did he cut off ties with Agiles, but he also increased the number of moderate factions in the 7th House from two to four.

‘but.’

The bond couldn’t be said to be very strong yet.

‘I think we need clear results.’

Aguiles and Lacian.

In order to deal with the two families, it was necessary to make the union of the seven families weaker than it is now. The best means to use now was to raise the level of late-stage indices. As this happens, the moderates will naturally lean towards this side.

“Let’s gather together for a moment.”

At Ethan’s words, six students gathered in a huddle.

“I plan to significantly raise your standards over the remaining two months. In short, it means that the training will be very ‘intensive’. “You can think of it as hellish training.”

At those words, the later indexes showed a puzzled expression.

It’s still hard, but you’re going to do more intense training here?

“Participation is free. Anyone who wants to participate can raise their hand. “But…”

said the Duke, raising the corners of his mouth.

“Once you raise your hand, you will never be able to change your choice again. Give me one minute. “Think about it carefully.”

The six reviewers swallowed their saliva. If the duke had given such a warning, the intensity of the class might have far surpassed their imagination.

We looked at each other and immediately realized.

The fact that the desire for strength is burning in everyone’s eyes.

“Raise your hand.”

The moment the Duke finished speaking.

All six people raised their hands. The duke nodded at that.

“I knew you guys wouldn’t give up.”

He grinned and took out something.

‘…what? Is it a bracelet?’

‘It’s a bit thick for that, isn’t it?’

It looked like a round ring made of metal.

The moment you put it down on the floor.

thud!

A heavy vibration echoed through the ground.

“What… is that?”

“A waistcoat.”

Are you sure you mean the belt worn around the waist?

It was so thick that just looking at it, it looked like it would exceed the weight of an adult man.

“These are just the basics. There’s still a lot left to wear.”

thud!

thud!

The faces of the late exponents began to turn contemplative as the metal rings continued to fall from the duke’s arms.

‘Such ignorance…!’

Hell of training.

It was because I realized with my own skin what it meant.
