I Regressed to My Ruined Family

I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 157

#When he returned, his family was ruined (158)

Himos’ face turned red. I had heard many times that Ethan was a radical.

Even so, I never imagined that he would be so crazy that he would attack me as soon as I saw him.

It was then.

“Haha! “That’s a very accurate assessment!”

A voice filled with laughter rang out. The owner of the voice was none other than the Duke.

He laughed so hard that he even wiped away his tears. The eyes of the nobles gathered at the meeting sparkled at that sight.

‘Are the moderates and Duke Ethan joining hands?’

Otherwise, there was no way the Duke would have participated so actively in the conversation.

‘Now that I think about it, the location choice is really strange.’

As if the seven families were no longer one, the four families belonging to the moderate faction were positioned in opposite positions to those of the radical faction. That’s not enough, considering the hostile attitude the Duke is showing right now.

‘It’s clear that a schism has occurred.’

There was definitely a problem with the unity of the seven families.

moderates and radicals.

Which of the two should I give my hand to? The minds of the high-ranking nobles began to spin.

Meanwhile, Himos was glaring at Ethan. Duke would say that he would do it even if he experienced friction since his distribution was similar to his, but Ethan was different.

Himos said, glaring at him.

“Have you not even learned basic manners? “I guess they think that just because they are the same duke, their status is equal.”

“Manners?”

Ethan smiled and answered.

“I don’t think this is something I should listen to from a guy who is playing pranks on my brother with black magic.”

“You’d better watch your mouth.”

A fearsome force rose from Himos’ body.

Himos was not a false transcendent, but an expert who overcame the wall of true transcendence.

Several household heads swallowed their saliva at the breathtaking momentum.

Even though Count Marek and the heads of the other 7 families were called transcendents, they knew it. There are only four people in the kingdom who truly possess extreme power.

Hymos and Gerond.

Even the Duke and Marquis Lionel.

Only these four people were truly powerful enough to be described as monsters.

The rest were just people who had been outnumbered.

‘I can’t get used to the momentum of a true transcendental person.’

‘As expected, he is Duke Himos.’

It was so powerful that even just being nearby made my body tremble.

So what about Duke Ethan?

Will he show fear as he bears the brunt of the power of a true transcendent?

Otherwise…

The nobles’ eyes naturally focused on Ethan.

Immediately their eyes sparkled.

Even though he was taking the brunt of Himos’ momentum, Ethan’s eyes did not waver one bit.

It was a response that could not be shown without skill and mental strength.

“What will you do if you’re not careful?”

Immediately, wave-like mana rose over Ethan’s body. The inside of the conference hall began to heat up.

‘Oh my god…’

‘That’s incredible heat.’

‘Is that really the spirit of someone under 20?’

There was a history of hearing stories about Ethan that were painful to the ears.

I heard that even the later exponents who were among the first in the kingdom had such great skills that they had to learn from him, and that they engaged in a tight battle against two transcendents named Duke and Lionel.

‘Even so…’

‘Can they withstand Duke Himos’s momentum?’

Everyone swallowed their saliva.

The momentum of the two people was entangled like a snake towards each other. No matter how great the rumors were, contrary to the predictions that Himos would win, the battle for intangible power was going on more tightly than expected.

Himos frowned.

At most, he is only a person with mana equivalent to that of a superhuman. The amount of mana was clearly overwhelming. Of course, you have to gain the upper hand in the battle of momentum.

‘Am I… losing control?’

Duke Ethan was holding on to his momentum. This was because they continued to fight effectively with great control.

The first time I unleashed my power was simply out of anger, but now it was different.

‘What the…’

A chill went down my spine little by little. This was because Ethan’s accomplishments far exceeded his expectations. Of course, I could have easily suppressed it now.

But what if more than a year passes in this state?

Will it be easy to subdue it even then?

‘…It might be difficult.’

Ethan was the monster who woke up with his body shattered and reached superhuman status in less than a year. The value of time flowing to him far exceeded his own. Himos wasn’t the only one surprised.

The family heads who attended the meeting of the central government could not help but be amazed at the snake-like tangle of momentum.

‘I heard that he used a power close to transcendence in his sparring with the Three Dukes…’

‘He can even withstand the force of transcendence?’

‘Wasn’t the rumor false?’

The heads of the families suddenly became confused. Although the nobles who attended the Central Council did not have the power of the seven kingdoms, they were each people who had built up enough power to be called the losers of a region. It wasn’t a result given for free.

Own skills and given background.

It was a result that could be revealed because he had a certain degree of insight into the current trend.

Lacian and Aguileth.

The name Ardan slowly began to be engraved in the minds of the heads of the family who were only considering the two families.

The sight Ethan showed for the first time was shocking enough to be refreshing.

It was then.

A tremendous force rose from behind. Even compared to Himos, the momentum was such that it could not be easily defeated. Duke, who suddenly joined the battle of momentum, glared at Himos.

“Do you have any sense of honor when you’re seventy years older than me and you’re trying to fight for mana with a young man who’s not even twenty?”

It was a devastating blow.

Himos chewed the inside of his mouth and glared at Duke. They haven’t even produced any meaningful results in the battle of momentum yet.

If I hadn’t started, I wouldn’t have known it. If I backed off now, I would have no choice but to become a laughing stock.

“This is a matter between me and Duke Ethan! “Why are you meddling in this matter?”

Duke answered those words with a grin.

“I am very close to that young friend. “There is a limit to watching you run wild like a thunderbolt, Duke Himos.”

“what? “Will you come to your senses if you see blood here?”

Before he knew it, Himos had a black staff in his hand. A gloomy energy rose like a tidal wave through the staff shaped like a skull.

“blood? There’s nothing you can’t see. We are ready at any time. “Isn’t everyone like that?”

Instead of an answer, speculation rose above the bodies of the moderate families. The four heads of the family all began to look at Himos with bright eyes. He gave off the will to risk even fighting if he went any further.

‘Hoo.’

‘It was a fairly deep cooperative relationship.’

The moderates and the Duke of Ethan.

I knew there was an exchange between the two forces, but I had no idea it would be so deep that I would be prepared to clash directly with Agiles.

The heads of the family’s eyes lit up.

It was time for the atmosphere to become even more sinister.

“stop.”

Along with a soft voice, a huge force separated Duke Himos and the Duke. The two dukes were shocked.

Duke Gerond, head of the Lacian family.

Before I knew it, he was radiating tangible energy with his sword drawn. At most, he only showed one move, but that one move made everyone tense up.

Ethan was the only one whose eyes lit up with interest.

‘It’s pretty good.’

His spirit was profound and sharp enough to say that he had reached maturity even at the level of transcendence.

He was two steps ahead of the transcendental people he had seen so far.

‘one year?’

It seemed like I would have to devote myself to training for two years instead of one to be able to deal with Gerond.

That was when we were measuring estimates.

“Your Majesty is coming in!”

The knights standing at the entrance shouted loudly. Soon after, the King appeared with the Marquis Lionel. The nobles stood up and showed their respect. However, the king’s eyes were only focused on Ethan.

“Nice to meet you. Duke Ethan.”

“yes.”

The two people’s eyes met.

The pupil was like a window representing one’s inner thoughts.

I was able to understand a lot from just a short encounter.

‘It’s not hostile.’

It wasn’t a look in his eyes that was wary of him. The young king’s eyes were rather sympathetic.

‘but.’

The king’s main enemies were the Church and the two dukes. As they continued to reduce their power, it was even more strange that they showed such a hostile attitude.

“Please everyone take a seat. “Let the meeting begin.”

The nobles sat down.

That is how the Central Council of Ministers began.

* * *

If we were to define the Council of Ministers in one word, it could be said to be a power struggle between the king and high-ranking nobles. This was because it was a place where the kingdom’s key policies to be implemented in the next year were decided.

‘I can roughly understand the atmosphere.’

Many of the policies the king wanted were being passed.

This was because the moderate faction, which had so far supported the nobles, was now openly taking the king’s side. The king alone had the power to fight against numerous nobles.

Since four high-ranking nobles began to lend additional power, it was not strange for them to push for policies with force.

‘The policies are pretty good.’

The king’s tone was simple.

They were trying to raise the quality of life for commoners by lowering the tax rate for each territory and increasing various supports.

For Ethan, there was no reason to object. It was because he behaved like that in his past life and in his present life. A few high-ranking nobles showed a look of disgust, but the tide was already halfway there.

It was for that very reason that the local leaders in regions other than the 7th Street could not easily vote against it.

Moderates and Ardan.

‘If even the king joins in…’

Even just from the outside, it is a huge force. Worst of all, even the two dukes who belong to the radical faction cannot easily vote against it.

‘The trend has turned.’

It was the high-ranking nobles who made the atmosphere so shocking. They felt it with their own skin. The weight was already gradually tilting towards the king’s power.

‘Besides… even the passage of time will not be in the two dukes’ favor.’

It was Duke Ethan who created this situation. Numerous evaluations followed him, but there was one thing in common.

‘A person who should never be turned into an enemy.’

He was definitely a descendant of Ardan.

Ardan was more reliable than anyone else to his allies, but was crueler to his enemies than anyone else. What happened to the 10 collateral families who were his enemies?

It walked the path to extinction without leaving a single pillar or root behind.

‘It’s been less than half a year since the master of Ardan opened his eyes…’

A rumor that was still spreading throughout the kingdom. I could tell by watching the battle of momentum with Duke Himos. The speed of his growth could not be simply described as fast.

It’s bizarre.

This would be more appropriate.

Silence is accompanied by fear. This was even more so when it was the other person’s silence that could not be guessed./ Since he did not say anything during the meeting, I couldn’t help but be more concerned.

The eyes of high-ranking nobles were already focused on Ethan. And with a more serious gaze than when looking at the king.

* * *

The schedule of the Central Council meeting was scheduled for a total of three days. After the first day’s meeting, which lasted nearly five hours, ended. Ethan, who left the conference hall, heard a secret whisper.

[Do you have time now? His Majesty is calling.]

It was the voice of the Marquis Lionel.

Ethan nodded.

There was a topic I wanted to discuss with the King.

‘Good.’

He moved after the marquis. The place he guided us to was the king’s office. Ethan entered and bowed his head slightly.

“Nice to meet you. “Head of Ardan.”

The king, smiling broadly, pointed to the seat. The two people sitting across from each other looked at each other.
