I Regressed to My Ruined Family Chapter 19

#When I returned, my family was ruined (19)

Could it be that I just got hit?

This Dexter, one of the most promising knights in the baron series?

He cupped the ball.

I felt a throbbing pain in my cheeks, which were swollen as if they were about to burst.

Pain is pain, but the biggest problem is….

‘I couldn’t see it.’

The thing is, the guy’s attack wasn’t visible at all.

There was a rumor that Baron’s knights were attacked by him.

It seemed that such rumors did not spread for nothing.

A voice came from far away.

“You were looking for your little brother, right?”

Ethan opened the carriage door and lifted something.

Dexter’s eyes suddenly narrowed.

‘No way…’

I saw a limp figure hanging down.

It looked strangely familiar.

Immediately afterwards he was astonished.

Because right now, the one who was caught and hanging by Ethan’s hand was his younger brother, Ruin.

“It’s old, your little brother.”

Ethan threw Ruin.

‘You damn bastard!’

Dexter rushed over and took Ruin. My younger brother had been hit so many times that not only his face but his entire body was swollen.

I quickly checked the veins.

Fortunately, the pulse was beating normally.

However, the abnormality was quickly detected.

‘…No mana?’

It was literally like that.

Not a single ounce of mana could be felt from Ruin’s body.

Dexter’s face crumpled as he urgently examined Ruin’s body.

It wasn’t the worst situation, such as the disappearance of the mana hole, but it was just as serious.

His eyes turned to Ethan.

“You… what on earth did you do to your youngest?”

“Is there a reason for me to tell you?”

Dexter’s reason was blown away by the relaxed smile that appeared on Ethan’s lips.

The youngest, whose temperament was exactly like his, was the brother he loved the most.

Even though I fell into drinking and gambling, I believed that I would come to my senses someday.

He is a brother who should never have been beaten up like this by such a wretched guy.

“I will kill you!”

After putting Ruin down, his new brother disappeared.

Dexter pulled out his sword in an instant. Not only did he achieve 3-star knighthood at a young age, he was now close to 4-star status.

There were not many knights in Baron’s history who could compete with him.

That was precisely why he threatened the Archduke without hesitation. Because I was confident that I would break his neck if I had to.

Dexter’s new model quickly got closer to Ethan.

If I kill him here and now!

Rather than punishing him, his father would try to somehow bury him about this incident.

It was much better to resolve the matter that way than to bow down to that guy.

That’s why there was no hesitation in Dexter’s sword attack.

The sharp sword was getting closer to Ethan’s neck.

It was an angle that could never be avoided.

‘Killed it!’

His eyes were filled with joy.

In just a moment, you’ll be able to put a sword in his throat.

It was right then.

Ethan chuckled.

‘This guy also learned things by clumsily stealing.’

It seemed like he had somehow learned swordsmanship and mana breathing techniques by stealing them, but his blows didn’t contain any of those techniques.

Even if I just slightly bend my neck like I do now…

“Huh?”

Because it was so easy to avoid Geomro.

In an instant, Ethan grabbed the guy by the collar and moved the essence of fire.

An immense power surged in my arms. I used that power to hit the guy with all my might.

bang!

Dexter’s face was imprinted on the hard stone floor. The force applied was so great that the stone floor was on the verge of splitting apart.

You could predict what a person’s face would look like without even looking at it.

“Keuheook!”

I felt a trembling vibration from the hand holding the guy’s collar.

The sword he was holding had already flown far away. Ethan glanced at Dexter.

I never thought there would be someone who treated the sacrifices of his immediate descendants as an idiot.

As expected, the world was large and there was a lot of trash.

This guy was one of those trash. It’s real trash that even seems difficult to recycle.

The Baron was also a bitch, seeing as he gave birth to a child like this.

‘It would be a shame to kill him.’

It would be such a great luxury to kill this guy with ease.

‘I’ll have to keep it with me for a while.’

I will seal the mana hole, cut out all the muscles and veins of the limbs, and make him crawl like an insect so that he can personally help him raise his head from the floor when he looks at the face of his immediate family.

Only then will you at least be able to understand what etiquette is.

The level of punishment has been determined.

The guy seemed to have come to his senses again and started wriggling his hands.

Ethan, who was looking at the scene expressionlessly, said.

“A knight is such a nuisance. “It’s needlessly draining of vitality.”

Ethan lifted Dexter and immediately stamped his face on the stone floor.

“Aaaah!”

Pow!

“It’s noisy.”

When the situation got to this point, my inner self started to get upset.

‘They’re like bugs.’

When this guy was making a fuss, the people who were quietly observing the situation were flocking in like a swarm of ants when the crisis finally came.

From the knights to the Baron’s servants, their eyes widened at the sight they saw as soon as they came out of the palace.

Dexter, the second son of the family.

His face was stamped on the stone floor without even being able to resist.

If it had been the opposite, I would have been able to understand it somehow.

“Aaaah!”

Screams were heard from all directions.

Among them, there was a woman who screamed the loudest.

It was the Baroness.

“lady!”

“Hurry and get your wife inside!”

It was when the servants were trying to lead the Baroness into the inner palace.

The Baroness, shaking her arm violently, pointed her finger at Ethan and shouted.

“What are you all doing! Don’t stop that crazy guy right away! “Stop it quickly!”

It was that moment.

Ethan, who was filming Dexter, looked around.

“Is there anyone here who would stab Ardan’s name?”

“Ardan? No way…”

The inner circle narrowed their eyes.

He was the one who mentioned Ardan’s name, and only one young man with an unfamiliar face came to mind.

Archduke Ethan Ardan is known to have recently opened his eyes.

The identity of the young man who is now mercilessly crushing Dexter’s face is none other than the archduke!

It was while some knights were hesitating over the Baroness’ torch.

“Grand Duke! “Stop it!”

An old man’s voice was heard.

Baron Helmut.

The old fox finally appeared.

Ethan turned his head towards where the voice came from.

Standing next to the baron were nearly twenty knights.

As soon as she saw the Baron, the Baroness rushed to her like crazy and cried out in tears.

“honey! My son! “My son…!”

“…Ma’am, please stay inside for now. I will handle this matter myself. “Lord Walton!”

“yes!”

“Take your wife into the inner sanctuary.”

“All right. Madam, please come with me.

“Dexter!”

Even just before entering the inner room, the Baroness’s voice calling for Dexter was ringing loudly. Only after the Baroness disappeared did the surroundings become a little quiet.

The Baron sighed and spoke.

“…It’s been a while, Grand Duke.”

“Nice to meet you, Baron. “Has it been ten years?”

“Please let that child go.”

“Unfortunately, that won’t be possible.”

At those words, the Baron’s eyes narrowed sharply.

“Why?”

“This guy didn’t just verbally abuse me when I was invited by the Baron, he even used lethal force on me. “You dared point a knife at your immediate family, so you should pay for your sin with death.”

“….”

“I’m sure the Baron doesn’t know that it’s the Duke’s law.”

“Whew. I know that my son is full of blood. “I must have made a mistake with my words… Wouldn’t it be better for both of us to let go at this point?”

“Good for each other?”

“If the Archduke wishes, Baron Kargath can be of help to the Archduke.”

Ethan chuckled.

“The Baron speaks very interestingly.”

“What do you mean?”

“You sent it to me even though you knew I was full-blooded? That guy named Ruin was acting the same way… Isn’t that why you sent these two guys because you wanted me to do this?”

“I’m mistaken.”

“well. Anyway, I plan to keep the law. “I understand that the Baron has no right to stop this.”

“Baron Kargath is a family that belongs to the Council of Elders. Law? “It may have been in the past, but now the judgment of the council of elders is the law itself.”

Those were truly outrageous words.

The Baron added one more word as if he was giving notice.

“I will leave the punishment of my son to the judgment of the council of elders. So let go.”

“This is ridiculous.”

“The Grand Duke has awakened after ten years, so I can fully understand the unfamiliarity with change. However, even a deep-rooted giant tree will eventually fall. “The master of the times always changes.”

“The duke is a fallen tree?”

“I thought the Archduke would know to some extent. However… if we join hands now, we may be able to rebuild our family…”

“I think you lack understanding, so I’ll say it again. “This is my answer to the Baron’s request.”

Kkjjik!

Dexter’s face was ground on the stone floor. Helmut clenched his fists at the sight.

Fifteen years ago.

When all the direct descendants of the dukedom were alive, the collateral descendants did not even dare to think of opposing them.

It was a time when Ardan’s name rang throughout the Western Continent beyond the Kingdom of Heidern.

It was a time when even one of the Duke’s elite knights could ruin the family.

If it had been that time, I would have been lying flat on my stomach, trembling, waiting for a merciful disposition.

‘But…’

It was different now.

Now the Duke of Ardan was a mere shell, with nothing left but the honor attached to its name.

So there was no need to be afraid.

‘Dexter is right.’

There was no need for him to go out in such a low manner. This was especially true when the second son’s face was being ground on the stone floor.

“Do you think the Archduke will be safe if he acts like this? I’m warning you, you’d better stop. “Even my patience has its limits.”

“Was the kind invitation ultimately a deception? “The Baron’s words are no different from those he speaks to his children.”

“Remember, Grand Duke, that this is Baron Kargath. Now I guess I’ll have to change my requirements. “Please let go of my son right now and ask for forgiveness for my disrespect.”

“Forgiveness?”

Ethan chuckled.

It was so absurd that I almost burst out laughing.

“Don’t heed the warning.”

At those words, the knights behind the Baron put their hands on their swords.

Nearly twenty knights were radiating energy.

After seeing the knights, the Baron’s heart suddenly felt reassured. In any case, it was difficult to appease the Archduke.

In this case, it would be better to resolve the issue by force.

The Baron looked at the Archduke, smiled sinisterly and said.

“I heard that the mana hall was completely destroyed… Will you come to your senses if even that shattered hole is ground into small pieces again?”

Twenty knights had enough power to cripple at least one archduke.

As long as it didn’t kill them anyway, the situation could have been resolved somehow.

“So get down on your knees and ask for forgiveness before it’s too late.”

“It seems that Baron Kargath’s disposition has been decided.”

“…disposal?”

Ethan, who drew his two-handed sword, looked at the knights lined up behind the Baron.

“Baron Helmut is a person who not only dared to threaten me, a direct descendant of the dukedom, but also tried to directly harm me. So, we will punish you severely for treason.”

treason.

It was a crime that could result in the confiscation of everything, starting with the rights of vassal families and even titles of nobility.

The Baron snorted at those words.

“under! Do you think the Archduke can decide that? You’ve been paying a lot of attention to the mere topic of a successor! There’s nothing more to see! Knights, subdue the Archduke right now! If necessary, you can cut off at least one limb! Chop up the mana hole there and throw it away!”

“yes!”

The knights took out their swords and began to approach the archduke.

Destroy the mana hole.

They were saying that they were going to end my life as a knight. I couldn’t help but feel dirty.

I saw the knights approaching.

‘If you are a twenty knight.’

It seemed like I would have to use at least one technique to sweep it away.

A huge amount of mana began to flow onto the great sword Ethan was holding.
