I Regressed to My Ruined Family

I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 209

#When I returned, the family was ruined (210)

After the grand welcoming ceremony, which was as grand as the triumphal ceremony, I visited the room where Theron was staying.

“Don’t go in.”

Naturally, I made eye contact with this guy.

When I faced my younger brother who was sane and had normal pupils, I felt an unfamiliar feeling. The last memory of my past life passed through my mind. Theron and Myers were willing to sacrifice themselves to open the path to the Dragonlord.

The sight of his two younger brothers being chewed in their mouths was like an unforgettable stigma to Ethan. That’s why I was feeling complicated.

Sorry, gratitude, longing, etc.

One thing was certain, it was that he was very fortunate to be able to see his younger brother who was looking at him well again. Unlike himself, who was just happy to see me, the guy lowered his head, avoiding eye contact, as if it felt awkward.

“It’s been a while.”

“…I know.”

“Are you feeling okay?”

“Except for the fact that some mana has disappeared.”

“That can be built up quickly. If necessary, stop by the elixir warehouse. “I will tell you.”

Theron showed a blank face at those words. From my eldest brother’s words, I was getting the feeling that taking the elixir out was not that big of a deal. When I think back to the family that had collapsed, it was truly an experience like the past.

It wasn’t until he saw his eldest brother face to face that Theron realized it. The Ardan he remembered and the Ardan he has now are very different.

‘…My eldest brother’s prayers have also changed in an unimaginable way from before.’

No matter how much mana disappears, experience and enlightenment do not run away. Even now that he was weakened, Theron’s level was close to that of a high-ranking knight known in the world as a 7-star knight.

And yet.

I couldn’t sense any prayers from the eldest brother in front of me. That meant two things. Either the eldest brother had no mana at all, or else…

he had achievements so high that even he couldn’t guess.

Of course it would be the latter. Just a little while ago, wasn’t a huge welcoming ceremony held to celebrate winning the continental swordsmanship competition? It was clear that he had achieved the state of transcendence as Ilya had said.

“Ilya… I heard it from him. “You’re a transcendent now?”

“That’s it.”

“Honestly, I didn’t believe it when I first heard it, but now that it’s over, it’s almost strange that I don’t believe it.”

After speaking, Theron scratched his head. It looked like he had something he wanted to say.

“Do you have any hidden children?”

“…what?”

“Since you kept gaping, I wondered if there was something difficult for you to say.”

“…That’s a bloody joke.”

The guy who was laughing weakly sighed.

“…just. “I heard that the guy who left his family alone to save his family almost destroyed it.”

The boy’s fingers dug into his pockets, as if he was trying to hide his embarrassment.

“ha. Actually, I’m not even qualified to say this… I’m sorry. To my brother, to my sister, and to Myers.”

It was a rough, but pure voice filled with sincerity. Ethan nodded quietly. Even without hearing, I was able to guess what kind of thoughts this guy had in entrusting himself to the Kingdom’s 7th House.

A choice for the family, not personal prosperity. That was it. If Ardan’s fortune had remained the same, he would have lived for Ardan as a commander leading his vassals. Theron said to Ethan, who was silent.

“Actually, I stayed because I wanted to say this. Since my body has recovered to some extent, I will be leaving soon…”

“Where are you going?”

“…Anyway, Yeonyu, wouldn’t it be unseemly for someone who abandoned the original family and joined the 7th family to return just because the family was revived?”

“Is there a place to go when you leave?”

“You should think about that. Still, isn’t there somewhere I can use my body?”

There will be many places to use it.

No matter how many high-ranking knights were created due to the union with the dragon race, a seven-star knight was a powerful person who would be welcomed wherever he went.

“It’s just an escape.”

“….”

Theron was immediately left speechless by Ethan’s words, which seemed to have seen clearly into his thoughts.

escape.

That hit the nail on the head.

“I want to tell you that you shouldn’t do that, especially if you’re doing it out of guilt. Are you planning to drive a nail into your sister’s heart again?”

“Then how…”

“If you really want to relieve yourself of that guilt, pay it back under Ardan’s name.”

“…Whew.”

Actually, I wanted to do that too. However, just thinking about the looks the people inside me would give me immediately made me feel a sense of pressure.

What do you think of yourself? No matter what the process was, if you look at the result, no one can see that it looks like a bat. No matter how much I thought about it, I didn’t have the confidence to endure those looks.

This was especially true when he was near his eldest brother, who was a more brilliant person than anyone else. Each person has a purpose that can be utilized.

If my eldest brother was the light, I was infinitely closer to darkness. Because Agiles, who stayed for a long time, ended up making herself like that.

Still, one thing was certain. What my eldest brother said is close to the truth. If I really wanted to erase this feeling of debt, it would have been better to live for Ardan from now on.

“There is a place for you to work.”

“…Where?”

“It’s a kind of intelligence group. “It probably suits your personality quite well.”

The Black Society, a group of assassins drawn from the lawless city of Carmen. Along with that, there is also the Black Moon that acts as an intelligence group. The tendencies of the two organizations were very similar in that they operated in the shadows. Of the two, I planned to put it where Theron wanted. Basically, his tendency is closer to the shade side rather than the sunny side.

Human tendencies were not something that could be controlled even with white flame. It can only correct the nature of mana. However, the nature of mana sometimes affects human nature.

‘There will no longer be any problems with mana.’

The mana of the negative dimension was bound to strongly encourage human impulses.

It could be said that the fact that black magicians, a representative profession that utilizes such mana, calmly commit all kinds of crimes stems from the nature of mana. However, this does not mean that all warlocks are criminals. At least, it was clear that that was highly likely.

It was for that reason that Theron’s mana was purified.

The fact that the tendency itself was close to the dark wasn’t that much of a problem. While there are active people, there are also introverted people.

While there are people full of innocence, there are also people who are pessimistic from birth. In the end, that in itself wasn’t the problem. There was bound to be a place for all of those tendencies to be utilized.

“Would you like to try it?”

“…if it is an intelligence group.”

“You will rarely be seen in public. “It’s like the fate of such an organization.”

That’s what Theron wanted. Being able to dedicate yourself to your family without worrying about what others think.

However, this was an issue that needed to be addressed.

“…Brother, can you forgive me? If you’re just taking care of them because they’re family, you don’t have to do that. “No matter what anyone says, I’m the one who made the mistake.”

“I have never forgiven you.”

“….”

“Because I don’t think I did anything wrong in the first place. “Rather, I wanted you to praise me for going beyond what I was used to for the sake of my family.”

“…!”

“Did you get the answer?”

I never dreamed that my eldest brother would think like that. That’s why I thought it was natural, even though my heart sank when I told him that I had never forgiven him.

My eldest brother had a much bigger and broader heart than I thought. That’s why I was even more willing to accept my eldest brother’s offer. Because I get to work for Ethan.

“…I will do it. “I will do anything for my family from now on.”

“Someone will go sooner or later.”

“huh.”

“Then rest.”

A voice rang out quietly toward Ethan, who opened the door.

“…thank you. “For forgiveness.”

“As I said before, I have never forgiven you.”

I meant it.

“Sylvia.”

“Yes, Your Excellency the Duke.”

“It’s already been over a year since you worked for me. “Isn’t that right?”

“you’re right.”

“There will be a title award ceremony soon.”

“If it’s an award ceremony….”

“Because today’s Ardan has many talented people who can be said to have contributed to its founding. “You too.”

“…That’s too much praise, Your Excellency the Duke.”

Sylvia shook her head. It is true that they had been working hard for Ardan, but in the end, the reason this family regained its former glory in such a short period of time was all because of the man in front of them. Because he had been assisting from his side, he had a deeper understanding of the duke’s movements than anyone else.

The determination to move so boldly that it’s hard to believe even while watching right from the side. A genius talent that would not be lacking even if heaven had predicted it.

Even a warm heart for the people.

If there was a word for a perfect nobleman, it made me think that it would be a perfect word for a duke.

“Excessive humility can become immoral. Your merits will be rewarded during the ceremony. Above the count.”

“…!”

Sylvia opened her eyes wide.

“Are you saying you will give me the title of earl?”

“okay.”

“But…”

Sylvia swallowed her words. Even Ardan’s blood relatives had not yet received titles. In comparison, even though he had made a contribution, his gender was an issue and he was nothing more than a commoner. If the world consisted only of honesty and trust, there would be no people who were used like hunting dogs and then abandoned.

So all she expected was to be above the Baron. Because the inherent limitations were clear. Still, I thought it wasn’t bad for an inherited noble.

How much more of a count?

Ethan spoke to Sylvia, who was speechless.

“It is up to me, not you, to decide what you deserve. Am I wrong?”

It was an extremely arrogant statement, but paradoxically, it didn’t sound that way at all. Because the duke was a person qualified to say something like that.

“…What the Duke said is correct.”

“Then Saddam is finished.”

A bundle of documents naturally flowed out of Sylvia’s arms. It was a compilation of information from other kingdoms, including the Kingdom of Limedell, starting with information on the duchy. Ethan read the document and nodded.

The growth of the intelligence community was dazzling. This has been especially true recently. Not only did they unite the underworld one by one and build a scale that could be called the best in Heidern, they were now planting their eyes and ears in other countries.

Even if there was help from several families, including the Marquis of Bessus, it is hard to believe that the results were produced in just a year or so at most.

It is right to retain such talented people for the rest of their lives, even for the sake of the family. It was for that reason that he was given the title of earldom.

Of course, even if he is given the title of Baron, he will continue to show good performances.

‘For a gift to be memorable, you have to give it big once.’

At best, you can completely win the heart of the treacherous man by taking the position above the count?

It is a transaction full of only benefits.

That’s why Ethan didn’t have any hesitation about giving Sylvia the title of earldom. Because he was a talented person who always did more than what he was given.

It was still the same now.
