I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 269

#Reversion led to ruin for the family (270)

Just two years ago, Ardan was a family that had a reputation but was treated as half-empty chaff. But it was different now. The new duke was a man with iron-blooded tenacity and talent that could be considered the best in the kingdom.

Does that mean there is no prize money?

That wasn’t it either. Starting with card packs, which are still selling like hotcakes, food production began to skyrocket in a short period of time and had increased to the point where it could be exported rather than imported. Not only that, the design brand run by the eldest daughter, Elena, was treated as the ultimate luxury product that nobility could not afford.

The family that was worried about making a living just two years ago has now transformed into the family that earns the most money in Heidern.

The structure of the political world has also changed beyond the level of a seismic change to the point where it can be said to have been completely reorganized. All the families that took up arms against Ardan declined, and only the families that joined hands with them were able to maintain their prowess.

The Raycian duchy was praised as the best family in the kingdom. Its power was evaluated as comparable to that of King Delprion. The Duke of Ardan was the one who began to easily overcome that fate.

How could it be said that Ardan’s fortune surpassed that of the royal family? Ardan’s progress was dazzling.

There was not a single person who denied the story that Ethan, the head of the family at the time, was responsible for all of these changes.

The administrator he recruited, Gailen, created a masterpiece called a card game.

Through cooperation with the elves, Erkan transformed the duchy into an inexhaustible granary.

The wizard Ilya had a reputation as one of the best crafting wizards of her time.

Is that it?

It has long been rumored that the administrative power of Sylvia, the tact, and Elena, the acting duke, was greater than that of the royal family’s chief administrator.

In addition, Isera is renowned as an outstanding spiritist.

Even his eye for identifying talented people was surprising. That’s why Heidern’s people used to say that as a joke. If there is a man who is the most perfect in this world, it is Duke Ethan.

Normally, when a noble family grew to this level, there was bound to be checks from the royal family.

Ardan was different. They were a family that proved to themselves what the word sacrifice means.

It was completely impossible to doubt his loyalty.

This was especially true now that Ardan’s fortunes were approaching their peak. If a conflict were to arise with Ardan, who was gaining momentum, the royal family could be split into two. It became a family that even the most powerful people in Heidern would give up on. Ardan was attacked. This also applies to the Yongin people, whose resentment is deeper than anyone else’s.

The entire kingdom could not help but be shaken. Rumors spread that there was once again a war with the dragon tribe. It wasn’t a completely unreliable story. How has the Duke behaved so far?

He struck down his enemies more mercilessly than anyone else. It wouldn’t be strange if a sword was drawn.

The nobles discussed this topic every time they gathered in groups.

“Do you really think there will be war?”

“I heard that a huge number of dragons flocked in. There must be someone behind it. If it were the duke’s inclination, surely you wouldn’t draw your sword?”

“Duchies Lacian and Dustin have already expressed their willingness to participate in the war. And that’s not enough, the three marquis also said that they would follow Ardan’s wishes… Is this enough for your Majesty to be able to obey you without moving?”

It has been a long time since the seven families, once called the Seven Kingdoms of the Kingdom, were reorganized.

Now, the only people left were the Lacian and Dustin duchesses, whose heads had changed due to Mileton, and the three marquesses. All of this was crying out for war. It was no wonder that war clouds hovered over Heidern.

The rumor caused the market to fluctuate. First, the price of steel rose, followed by the price of food.

If the five noble families and Ardan come together as one, not even the king will be able to stop it. Isn’t the justification plausible?

Who would dare stop the plan to strike down the dragons who had invaded Heidern in the past?

Soon a meeting was called at the royal court. The purpose was to discuss the truth about this incident and Ardan’s response. A carriage with a flag decorated with fireworks left the duchy.

* * *

He held out his identity card and entered the palace. The fierce fighting spirit was rising in the eyes of the knights looking at him. The desire for revenge against the dragon race had not yet completely disappeared from Heidern.

Moreover, there was no group here that praised the dragon race like the church. The royal knights were hoping for revenge through war.

Ethan entered the throne room and looked at the king. Around him, the kingdom’s high-ranking nobles were lined up left and right. All of Heidern’s prestigious families gathered in one place.

He bowed his head towards Delprion.

“See you, Your Majesty.”

“Welcome, Duke Ethan. I heard the news. “The territory was attacked by a group of vicious dragons?”

“yes.”

“Do you know anything about the background?”

“I know.”

“…Then are you planning to start a war? Jim has no intention of opposing it. However, if you are going to choose that option, I hope you think about it carefully. “The power of the dragon race… will not be easy.”

“I don’t intend to do that. “If we collide now, we will most likely lose.”

Everyone looked surprised at the answer that seemed to be completely conclusive. Of course, I knew that the dragons were a formidable group of monsters.

Still, part of me thought it was worth a try. The decisive reason was, of course, Duke Ethan. A hero who accomplished numerous feats.

Since ancient times, many people have gathered under the flag of a hero. How could a hero like that say the word “defeat” so definitively?

“…Is it because of the church? Even though their cult has spread widely, there are probably not many countries that can actively intervene and take the side of the dragon race.”

Ethan smiled bitterly at those words. This was because he knew that the king’s words were ridiculously optimistic. In the church, not only the demon dragon but also Anna existed.

They are a dragon race that has the power to manipulate living creatures by turning them into puppets at will. Wouldn’t a being with such power really reach out to the heads of state?

It definitely didn’t seem like it to Ethan.

At least two or three of the six kingdoms, excluding Heidern, will already be under control.

Is that it?

Deception was still alive and well. He is obviously hiding behind a mask, completely deceiving his surroundings.

‘It’s easy to not know yet.’

In my past life, there was no entity like this. It was only Naraxus the Deceiver who deceived humans.

As expected.

There was a high possibility that Anna was an entity that was created when the future was distorted by a changed past. There is also a possibility that it is a ruler that emerged recently.

How could the king and nobles trapped in Heidern find out about that fact?

Moreover, there was a high possibility that he could not even guess about the deception that was more cunning than anyone else.

“Do you know anything about the ruler?”

“I’ve heard the name. “Isn’t it disaster and tyranny plus shadow and the devil dragon?”

“It is known in the world that there are only four, but to be exact, there are six in total.”

“six? “Are there two more monsters like that?”

“yes. One is a recently created entity called Dominion. The other is deception.”

Hearing this story for the first time, a strange look flashed across the eyes of the king and nobles.

“There was such a ruler?”

“Deception is the most secretive entity. It’s quite possible that it won’t be known to the public. Even if one wanted to know about the rule that was created recently, it would have been difficult to know its existence.”

“…”

If it was six instead of four, simply calculating it would mean that the number had increased by half. Only then did I begin to understand the Duke’s words little by little.

I’ve heard endless rumors about the ruler’s strength. Moreover, it is a country that directly experienced the war with the dragon tribe. Even though Ardan took charge of most of the war, he could not have been unaware of their strength.

“…Do you know what their abilities are?”

“Dominance can control people. “Deception can change my appearance like a human being.”

As the explanation continued, the faces of the nobles began to turn blue. This was because one conclusion could be drawn from the Duke’s words. There is a possibility that most of the kingdoms have already fallen into the hands of the dragon clan.

If there were rulers with such abilities, even the Zeno Empire might have been completely swallowed up.

If you take out a sword for revenge, you may have to deal with humans as well.

If things went that way, it would be like trying to hit a rock with an egg.

“…So that’s why you came up with that answer. I didn’t know they had penetrated that deep. “I thought he was just strong… haha.”

Delprion sighed deeply. The duke felt relieved that there would probably not be war. On the contrary, I felt devastated that the dragon clan’s power was so huge. To put it bluntly, isn’t it true that countries other than Heidern are actually puppets of the Balaur clan?

“…Then this matter…”

“It will be passed over quietly. “But I guess I’ll have to get some personal revenge.”

“plural? “How?”

“I plan to deal with one of the rulers.”

“…You mean the ruler?”

Delprion’s tone contained concern. The ruler was the ruling class at the top of the dragon race. It was obvious that if one of them died, there would be chaos.

“What you are worried about will not happen. “The situation over there is complicated in its own way.”

“Circumstances?”

Ethan continued his brief explanation. The content was simple. It was about the relationship between the three rulers who caused conflict with the demon dragon and the request for Giman’s murder. The people who heard the story widened their eyes.

“So… you took out two of those monsters? “A tyrant and a shadow who specialize in combat?”

“yes. Now there are only about four left. If you deal with disaster and deception, it would be two.”

“What on earth was the Demon Dragon, or that cult leader, thinking of making such a request…”

“Isn’t there a complicated situation we didn’t think of? Since he has even established a religious cult and preaches about the dragon race, he may be trying to completely put humans under his control.”

“Hmm. If you had that intention, those three rulers must have been an obstacle. Even so, to be honest, I don’t completely understand…”

“Anyway, one thing is certain. The lower the number of rulers, the better. The growing power of the dragon clan would not be a good thing for us. “Isn’t that right?”

Delprion and other high-ranking nobles nodded.

I was also thrilled. How long has it been since you achieved transcendence and already killed two rulers?

The growth was so incredible that I could see it with my own eyes. It made me question whether I was really human.
