Chapter 6
I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 6
#After returning, the family was ruined (6)
Elena looked at Myers who was training in the yard.
If it were like normal, as soon as I opened my eyes, I would have called my drinking friends and felt bad about myself.
But it was different now.
After being dragged by Ethan two days ago while drunk.
After learning that he had woken up, he continued training with enthusiasm as if he had completely changed.
Elena smiled quietly.
If you think about it, the brother who stood out from a young age was Ethan.
‘If only there were a little more family secrets left.’
I wouldn’t have fallen so helplessly. After my grandfather and father passed away, almost all of the family secrets that had been passed down through Gugyeol disappeared.
The reason Ethan felt a great deal of pressure was because of the Biggies who had disappeared.
I felt so sad.
The Duke family, a family that has been around for over 200 years. This was the first time in all those years that Big Q had been completely cut off like this.
Who would have thought that the previous head of the family and the current head of the family would close their eyes at the same time in one day?
No one in the family thought that way.
It was even like that when the Yongin tribe invaded.
My grandfather and father were sword experts who reached the level of transcendence at a young age.
Therefore, I was full of confidence in victory even before I went to war.
That was why no special preparations were made for future generations.
“Be right back.”
The faces of the two people who smiled and patted my head as if they would return at any moment came to mind.
I never thought that would be the last time I saw him.
Elena, who had been quietly looking at the yard, remembering her grandfather and father, whose faces she could not even remember, came out of the room.
The scenery of the villa had changed a lot from before.
The room, which was full of dust, was neatly cleaned, and the maids who rushed to the kitchen every time there was a meal diligently prepared the food.
These were all changes that began to occur after Ethan opened his eyes.
‘I guess I should prepare some refreshments.’
This was all I could do for Ethan.
It was when she arrived at the restaurant.
Hans, who was busy playing with his hands inside, smiled brightly at Elena.
“Grand Duchess, what are you doing here?”
“ah. “I wanted to make some simple refreshments for my younger siblings…”
As Elena spoke, her eyes turned to Hans’ hand.
The bowl in his hand was full of cookies.
“haha. It seems like the Grand Duchess and I were completely on the same page. I happened to think that too, right? Oh. Grand Duchess, do you have any inconveniences?”
Elena looked at Hans as he asked with a grin.
This is something that could not have even been imagined just a few days ago.
These were all changes that occurred when Ethan woke up.
“are you okay.”
“Fortunately, the. Since the sun is shining, why not have some tea time? “I will prepare refreshments.”
Suddenly I got curious.
Hans began to change after having breakfast with Ethan three days ago.
What exactly did he talk about with his younger brother at that time that made his attitude change so much?
‘I heard at the time that he gave me a few simple words of advice…’
Did the Chamberlain really change his manners so politely with just a few words?
“Chief Chamberlain.”
“Yes, Grand Duchess.”
“Are you doing this because of what Ethan said?”
“…You mean?”
“I heard it from Ethan. “I said I had a conversation with the Chamberlain a few days ago… Is that why you’re being so kind to me?”
Hans barely managed to keep his expression from crumpling at those words.
what? advice?
Is there anyone in the world who took advice and got three teeth sticking out?
If that was advice, it was the falcon of love that stabbed the knife. I was really shocked, but I couldn’t admit that I had been beaten by the Archduke.
At first glance, it seemed like he was hiding that fact from his older sister.
“haha. you’re right. “I still vividly remember being sobered by the words the Grand Duke said at that time.”
“What on earth did you say…”
She was truly curious as to what the chamberlain, who had not even listened to her, heard, so that his attitude changed one hundred and eighty degrees.
It was right then.
Hans, who was looking at the oven, spoke quickly.
“ah! The cookies are all baked! Grand Duchess, could you please give me a taste?”
“great.”
Elena put a cookie into her mouth. A sweet taste spread into my mouth along with a crunching sound.
“How is it?”
“It’s delicious.”
She was secretly impressed.
Hans’ confectionery skills were well beyond the passing grade.
“Now that I think about it, there was something the Archduke said yesterday morning when he was examining the youngest master…”
Hans continued to wander. Seeing that, Elena decided to stop asking questions.
No matter what prompted you to change your mind, you just have to act well now.
So Elena and Hans continued their story.
* * *
After busy leading the servants and completing household chores.
Hans came into his room.
He took out a magic crystal ball from inside the drawer.
Once a month.
Today was the day I had regular contact with author Baron.
He carefully took out a low-grade mana stone.
Since this small piece was more expensive than his monthly salary, he had no choice but to handle it with care.
When I placed the mana stone near the crystal ball, light began to come in.
-It’s been a while. Hans.
“Baron Helmut! How have you been?”
-okay. I have read the letter you sent. The Archduke has awakened?
“you’re right! In addition, the archduke appears to know how to use mana.”
―Manara. Does that mean the talent hasn’t died at all?
The Baron nodded and spoke.
―A letter was sent to the Count of Pernes. A meeting of elders will be convened soon. In the meantime, you can continue to monitor the Archduke’s movements and report any unusual details.
“If it’s a seniors’ meeting, wouldn’t it take four months to get the results? Then, I think the response will be very delayed…”
―It’s an important issue, so it won’t take that long. Probably about two months at most.
“All right. “But… Baron Helmut.”
-Say it.
“Well… as it is written in the letter, the Archduke is not an easy person. Not only is he a violent person who will stab you with his hand if he shows even the slightest weakness…”
– That’s a bit strange. Originally, he wasn’t that violent of a person. Hmm… I guess I was angry because the situation had completely changed.
“Yeah. I think that might be the case. Until the Archduke fell, he must have lived in the Duke’s house. “You must have been very shocked as soon as you saw the annex.”
―Well, let’s just say my bastard got angry. The odds are already stacked against us. The next head of the family will be Myers, not him, so you don’t have to worry and just keep an eye on him.
“All right. However, Confucius Myers seems to be changing little by little in recent years.”
-Myers?
“yes. “As soon as he saw the Archduke awake, he stopped drinking alcohol, which he loved so much.”
―…It makes me tired in many ways. I understand first.
Before contact was lost, Hans spoke urgently.
“Hey, Baron. In order to approach the Archduke, I would have to hand over something…”
– I will give you a grant, so try to win his favor as much as possible with that. That will work, right?
“lol. Thank you, Baron!”
-okay. I’ll contact you again next month.
The light of the crystal ball dimmed.
The corners of Hans’ mouth quietly rose.
‘First of all, the subsidy was paid off.’
In any case, no matter who won between the collateral and the archduke, it would not have much of an impact on him.
So, the best way to deal with it was to balance the balance between the two.
‘Well, it would be better if the Archduke wins.’
Even if the collateral side won, it was obvious that he would still live as the chamberlain of the annex.
But what if the Archduke wins?
Until then, I didn’t know that if I stayed close to the Archduke, a big piece of rice cake might fall down.
When I got hit on the cheek a few days ago, I was full of resentment, but now it was different.
The ability to take down a group of gangsters in an instant.
Because Hans clearly witnessed the scene. The Grand Duke’s potential was by no means easy.
‘If we do this well…’
we could face a huge opportunity rather than a crisis.
That was when Hans smiled sinisterly.
“Chief Chamberlain! “The two masters’ training is almost over!”
Hans jumped up from his seat at the urgent voice coming from outside.
“hey! “Bring a towel soaked in cool water and all the refreshments you made earlier!”
“yes!”
He hurriedly ran outside.
* * *
The sound of wooden swords clashing rang out cheerfully.
“I just blocked it!”
Myers screamed loudly.
This was because he blocked Ethan’s attack for the first time in two days. It was so heartbreaking.
It was right then.
Bah!
“Keck!”
Myers fell down with a light sound.
“I told you not to let your guard down.”
“Oh right.”
“The most dangerous time is when you think you have won. “Keep that in mind.”
“Okay, bro.”
Even though he said this, Ethan was also secretly impressed.
This was because Myers’ speed of development was more remarkable than expected.
This was especially true in the defense area. I felt like if I trained in hell for just one more month, I would be able to refine my defensive skills to the point where I could withstand even a 3-star knight, the so-called official knight.
That was when training ended.
“Thank you for your hard work! Grand Duke!”
Hans came up behind me and handed me a towel soaked in water. Ethan and Myers were handed towels and wiped their faces.
I felt a cool touch.
After wiping off the sweat, I handed the towel back to him.
Hans, who casually received the sweat-soaked towel, smiled and asked.
“Did your training go well today? “It seems that the Grand Duke’s appearance is becoming more and more handsome as each day passes.”
Ethan chuckled.
Abu Hana was amazed, probably because he had put honey on his mouth.
While eating the refreshments given to me.
Hans, who was looking around carefully, whispered quietly.
“Hey, Archduke.”
“why.”
“I have something urgent to tell you. “This is very important.”
“What.”
“I received a call from Baron Kargath.”
“Communication?”
“yes. Baron Helmut How dare he! He told me to keep an eye on the Archduke! Part of me wanted to swear right away, but…”
“I wanted to?”
“lol. As the Grand Duke knows, I am a worthless person… so I had no choice but to accept and pay the subsidy.”
It’s a subsidy.
Ethan’s eyes sparkled with interest.
‘I just happened to need some money.’
That’s very good.
“So, do you need anything? I think the Baron will throw some money at me… “If you just tell me, I will do it right away.”
The guy’s intentions were clear.
I guess they’re trying to move back and forth between the two.
Still, I didn’t feel bad.
Because Hans could benefit himself by acting like this.
Ethan took out a piece of paper from his pocket.
“pen.”
“Here it is.”
I started drawing on it.
“Make it.”
“This is a two-handed sword… What are these? Could it be a bracelet made of steel?”
“Training tools.”
“ah! All right. It’s similar to a sandbag. “This picture here is a shield made of steel, right?”
“okay.”
A shield to be used by Myers.
In addition, the huge two-handed sword he used in his previous life and the steel bracelet he used for training.
These are the things we need right now.
“All right. Just give a damn to Helmut! “I’ll try to rip it all out!”
“You should keep the remaining amount.”
“Oh my! Thank you!”
Hans’ eyes sparkled as he heard the Archduke’s words. One of his favorite things was money.
‘Hehe.’
Hans smiled sinisterly.
If you extort a lot of money from the baron in the name of approaching the archduke…
‘It would be really sweet.’
The smell of money was in the air.
