I Regressed to My Ruined Family Chapter 156

#When I returned, the family was ruined (157)

Delprion looked at the crystal ball.

There were all scenes of Theron and Ethan sparring. It was evidence of the exercise of the right to challenge and the clear results thereof.

The king stuck his tongue out.

Theron was clearly showing movements that seemed to have overcome the wall of transcendence. Agiles and the church must have been playing a trick.

What was even more surprising was the power of the duke, who destroyed the trick with just one sword. The King asked after looking at the report Wallington handed him.

“Are you saying that the duke seems to be able to freely overcome the wall of transcendence?”

“That is very likely.”

“Still, the side effects aren’t as big as I thought… Maybe it’s because I used Ardan’s vision technology.”

“yes. “It wouldn’t be surprising if Ardan had such secret skills.”

This was not the end of the news related to Duke Ethan. Because the letter that arrived to him this morning also contained information related to the duke. Letter from the moderate faction of the 7th Street.

The point was simple.

Starting with the statement that instead of being treated as a member of the 7th family by being associated with the radicals, we will break away from the 7th family and create a new organization…

Our four families are trying to actively support Your Majesty and Duke Ethan.

Could your Majesty personally invite Duke Ethan to this meeting of the kingdom’s ministers?

For Delprion, it was a proposal he would welcome with open arms.

Aguiles and Lacian.

Of the seven families, these were the only two that could be considered his main enemies. If the families other than him sided with him, he could easily keep the two ducal families in check.

‘In the end, it was Duke Ethan who made this board.’

Academy’s special class.

At best, he not only persuaded the Duke and the Marquis of Turian through the educational facility where later exponents gathered, he even persuaded the two neutral marquis.

A nineteen-year-old young duke.

What did he see in him that made him decide to support the four matriarchs?

‘There’s no way he could act like that with his strength alone.’

If it were a family that could be persuaded by force, they would have moved as one body with the Lacian side a long time ago. Probably a lot of factors were taken into consideration.

But one thing was certain.

‘The peacock has the power to attract people.’

It was the most necessary element for a leader.

“Is the rumor spreading well?”

“yes. “It looks like not only us but also Ardan’s intelligence group is moving.”

The King asked, remembering what was written in the letter.

“I would like to send an invitation to Ardan to this central government meeting. However, I do have one concern. I wonder if I will be able to restore my body to its normal state….”

A side effect of jumping over the wall.

Just because it wasn’t as big as I thought, doesn’t mean it wasn’t there at all.

Even if I just watched the video right now, it was like that.

Wasn’t blood gushing out from the peacock’s cheeks? The CITIC meeting was scheduled to be held in two weeks.

An invitation could be sent, but if one were to be careful, it could have resulted in the Duke suffering from internal injuries participating in the meeting. It is no exaggeration to say that this is my first time attending this political event. If he showed weakness, he would be easily attacked by the two dukes.

“Instead of sending an official letter, how about asking the duke first? “As a wise person, he will not want to attend even though it puts a strain on his body.”

“Will you do that?”

“yes. Then, I will contact you separately.”

Inviting Duke Ethan was tantamount to announcing him as the undisputed ‘head of the family’ of Ardan.

William bowed his head and left the King’s office.

‘I’m inviting Ardan.’

Although it was a prestigious family that was more established than anyone else, this family rarely attended meetings of the central government. This was because the Ardan family was not interested in politics. After the Dragon Clan War, there was no one worthy of being the head of the family, so there was no need to send invitations for a while.

‘This meeting of the Central Government will be quite noisy.’

Even Agiles and Lacian would be gnashing their teeth at Ethan right now. Considering the duke’s temperament, friction will definitely arise.

But I wasn’t worried.

From what I have observed so far, Duke Ethan is not a person who would be afraid of such things. The Earl of Wallington began writing down the invitation.

* * *

Ten days passed quickly. On the first day I sparred with Theron, I continued to recuperate, but the second day was different. Instead of having a haggard face, he showed off a complexion that was close to normal, and started taking classes in the special class without any problems.

Amazing recovery.

The reason this was possible was because of Ysera. Because she came to Ethan’s room every day to try to recover.

Ysera wasn’t the only one who came to visit him. This was because Earl William, one of the king’s close associates, also secretly visited his room.

“His Majesty would like to invite the Duke to the Council of Ministers. “I would like to know what the Duke’s opinion is.”

“Let me accept the invitation.”

It was only natural to nod my head willingly to what he said.

Because I was confident that I would be able to completely heal my body before the Central Council was held. Count William, who was staring at Ethan, nodded silently.

I don’t know what kind of trick was used, but the duke’s body was in a state of healing that was incomparable from the day of the sparring.

At that rate of recovery, there should be no problem attending the Central Government meeting. So he left, and a few days later I was able to receive a letter from the king.

The head of the Ardan family is invited to the central government meeting.

The content was simple, but the meaning was not simple.

‘That’s it.’

Bringing back Ardan.

I had completely achieved one of the goals I had set for myself when I first arrived here.

What was important now was how far the regained Ardan could be developed. I had no intention of being satisfied with just restoring the glory of the past.

‘Absolutely more.’

Since we’ve returned to the past, shouldn’t we set a bigger goal? Now is the time to start renting in earnest.

smart.

There was a knock on the door.

Ethan tilted his head. It was because it was a knocking sound that I had heard many times somewhere.

‘Sylvia?’

Soon he said:

“Please come in.”

“How have you been? “Your Excellency the Duke.”

The expectations were not wrong.

“Yeah, I’ve been fine. you?”

“Nothing happened to me either. “I came here in person because I had a lot to report to you.”

“The distance must have been quite far.”

“His Excellency the Turian Marquis helped me. “Like the Three Princes, we were given separate permission to use the gate connected to the capital.”

“is it.”

Even though a long time had passed since the sparring ended, Theron was still in a coma. It wasn’t difficult to guess why.

Contaminated soul and body.

Even if the purification was completed in one go, it was clear that the impact would not be small.

‘What you need is time.’

That’s why I decided to send him to the Duke’s House rather than the Academy.

Ilya was there.

A guy who is well versed in crafting might be able to think of medicinal herbs or items that could be helpful to Theron. However, the problem was how to move the comatose child to the Duke’s house, and it was the Marquis of Turian who extended a helping hand in such a situation.

―Is it used to transport patients on foot? Use the Marquis’ Gate. Since it is located in the same western part, wouldn’t it be possible to shorten the distance by nearly 70%?

Currently, Ardan does not have a gate directly connected to the capital. This was because the subsidiary 10th Street dismantled the gate and sold the contents.

The network with the capital was intentionally cut off. Reconnecting the gate required extensive construction.

‘One year at the earliest.’

In such a situation, there was no reason not to accept the hand offered by the Marquis. Thanks to this, Theron arrived at the Duke’s house without any major problems.

“Good.”

Sylvia received reports from time to time through the crystal ball, but of course it was not possible to talk to her face to face.

“What about Theron?”

“I received various elixirs from the moderate faction. “Currently, Ilia and Melaisis are using elixirs to create items to restore vitality.”

The document she handed over contained detailed information on the elixirs delivered by the moderate faction. All of them were elixirs with significant efficacy in restoring vitality. This was not the end of the elixir given by the moderates.

This was because several elixirs were delivered to not only Theron but also Ethan. Thanks to Sera Lee, I planned to absorb it slowly later rather than taking it right away. Sylvia’s report did not end there.

From actively lobbying for participation in the Cities Council to actively spreading rumors about this sparring throughout the kingdom.

Because I was starting to list the activities of the moderate faction.

“I guess that’s what the duke intended. Do you plan to continue to join forces with the moderates in the future?”

“I think so.”

“yes. Then, we will actively cooperate with them.”

“What about milestones?”

“So far, the power within the family is very weak. After looking into it, it seemed like they had recruited about two barons.”

It didn’t matter if it was weak.

What was important was that he had begun to build his own power in earnest.

“Use the black moon to help. However, there is no need to contact us urgently.”

“All right.”

So Sylvia and Ethan had a deep conversation.

* * *

On the day when the Central Council meeting begins.

Ethan boarded the carriage prepared by the academy and headed toward the castle.

‘I said around twenty.’

The Council of Ministers was a place where the twenty most powerful families in the kingdom gathered to discuss important matters of the nation.

It is an event where the leaders of not only the seven kingdoms of the kingdom but also each region gather in one place. There was no need to mention the importance of the place.

This was especially true for Ardan, who had begun to stand up again.

Most nobles would have only heard rumors about Ardan. Depending on how we show ourselves at this meeting, our future reactions and contact methods with Ardan will change completely.

‘furthermore.’

It was also the first time I met the King.

Ethan also didn’t know much about the king. This was because the past had been changed and the king had become completely different. This meeting was also an opportunity to find out what kind of person Delprion is.

So far, they have been working together because they have the same goals, but that doesn’t mean they can be friends forever.

‘We’ll see.’

A huge castle came into view in the distance. The knights who saw Ardan’s flag politely welcomed the carriage.

The news that Ardan would participate in this council of ministers had already spread throughout the kingdom.

“See you, His Excellency the Duke.”

The protagonist of a rumor that is shaking the kingdom. Duke Ethan was a person who radiated a cool vibe.

The deepest part of the royal palace.

The conference hall was located in area 8. It was a place that was not open to the public except when important national issues were being decided or when a government meeting was held.

A familiar face was waiting at the entrance. It was the Marquis Lionel, known as the King’s Sword.

“Are you here?”

He smiled hollowly and pointed inside.

“Except for you, all the nobles have already arrived. “Let’s go in.”

Ethan nodded and entered the conference hall.

Step by step.

Step by step.

The nobles in the conference hall fell silent at the sound of footsteps coming from outside. There were only two people who had not yet visited the conference hall.

The host, the King, and the newly invited head of Ardan.

Soon the door to the conference room opened. The eyes of the nobles, who were nearly twenty, turned to the newly appeared participant.

Despite the attention of all high-ranking nobles above the earldom, the young duke’s face was very calm. His eyes slowly looked around and stopped at one place.

The person Ethan was looking at was a nobleman who was firmly maintaining his position as second-in-command among the twenty nobles.

Duke Himos. Ethan, who was looking at him intently, spoke.

“He looked like a rat and did the same thing.”

“…what?”

“…!”

The nobles widened their eyes.

Because the fire was really lit before the central government meeting even started.
