I Regressed to My Ruined Family Chapter 191

＃When I returned, my family was ruined (192)

Inside the throne room.

Bjorn sighed when he saw where Ethan had left. For a moment, fear filled his eyes.

It was because of a girl who suddenly appeared next to me.

“How great it is to hear this well. “It’s not a bother.”

As if I did a good job.

The girl stroked Bjorn’s head. It was a sight that would have been enough to require the limbs to be cut off for lese majeste, but the person involved remained silent and simply accepted the touch. Soon after, the girl spoke plainly.

“Do as the duke says.”

“The Floten duchy… won’t give it back easily…”

“Bjorn. Should I even care about that?”

“…no.”

Anna.

He was a monster who had control over his life and death.

Starting from the limbs to the heart, which is beating very slowly at this very moment. The body was his, but paradoxically, it was also not his. In the end, all of this belonged to the owner.

“Bring it. “Before I wipe out your entire royal family.”

“….”

Bjorn trembled. Limedell has a long history. Who would believe it if the entire clan of that kingdom turned into puppets at the hands of this girl?

Even though I faced her for over a decade, I still couldn’t fully understand her methods.

But one thing was certain.

With just one gesture from her, the entire royal family could be cut off.

Anna’s methods were so secretive that even famous magicians did not notice the dark cloud hanging over the royal family.

This was a fact that could be seen just by looking at the two sons in a coma.

There was no room for deal.

‘Back then… I shouldn’t have done that…’

An ugly desire for life.

When he was diagnosed with an incurable disease, Bjorn used every means possible to prolong his life. He called in numerous wizards and paid a high price for each one. In the end, he even tried black magic that required sacrifice, but he could not extend his life with any magic.

In a situation where no wizard could come up with a solution, the girl in front of me was the only one who came up with a way.

A promise to continue life.

She certainly kept her promise.

However, the price paid for bringing these cruel dragons into the castle was negative, to the point of being miserable.

Now ten years have passed.

Before she knew it, the main characters in the capital city had turned into her puppets.

doll.

I literally became a doll hanging by a thread. Just how much power does it have to be able to do such a terrible thing?

Bjorn still didn’t know.

“…All right.”

All I can say is an answer filled with fear. If the owner wanted it, he had to do it. King Bjorn, who had been ruled for a long time, had been turned into a slave worse than livestock.

* * *

“I did as the leader said.”

Inside the crystal sphere.

The person wearing a dark red robe tilted his head as if wondering.

It was obvious what I was thinking.

Why are you suddenly cooperating so actively? I guess that’s what you’re thinking. Originally, no matter how much an order was, I didn’t follow it if I didn’t feel like it.

-Why do you listen so well?

“I think he’s an interesting person.”

It was a simple answer. In fact, he was a person with a power that was too powerful to be expressed simply as fun, but…

Anna had no intention of letting the cult leader know that she had encountered Ethan.

There’s no need to let them know that you thought it was an interesting toy and approached it, but then turned away and said, ‘Oh, it’s hot.’ In any case, after that incident, her eyes also focused on the duke.

A human who wields interesting and powerful power. Now that I have some understanding of why the cult leader became interested in the duke.

Not only did it have great potential, but what was even more surprising was the fact that that potential had not yet been fully developed.

Now, three months have passed since we last met. The duke had stepped into the realm of transcendence. That was the reason why I couldn’t get as close as last time.

At best, he is a human who has realized his secret to the level of a superhuman. Even more so now that his energy has grown to a level that cannot be compared to that of a superhuman?

It was dangerous if you didn’t keep your distance.

You will immediately guess your connection to the Kingdom of Limedell.

It was not yet time to reveal to the public that Bjorn was his puppet.

-Have you grown?

“It seems certain that the wall of transcendence has been overcome.”

―…Amazing.

The religious leader quietly expressed his admiration. It was a level that was too high to be achieved in just over a year.

Endless growth.

The Duke’s potential seemed limitless.

At least until now.

“Perhaps the keepsake called the Palhwan will also be returned. “He may be a fool, but he always does what he’s told.”

-okay.

“So our leader really just came to watch the work?”

-Well, that’s right.

“Are you going to hide it from me? “Then I think I’ll be disappointed.”

―That’s because it hasn’t been confirmed yet.

“It’s shameful.”

―What can I do about it being true?

The cult leader shrugged his head.

Even though they were of the same race, he was a mysterious person. Even if the inside is too black, it won’t be enough. Of course, his resourcefulness was as amazing as his dark red intentions, so he took over all external activities.

It was then.

Anna’s face slowly began to turn red. It was as if he was directly expressing his anger.

-Did something happen?

“ha. Idiots won’t understand if you say something nice. “They refused to listen to Bjorn.”

―Didn’t you offer a price?

“I did it, but I think I was too greedy.”

What an idiot.

Contact continued.

In the end, the point was simple.

Negotiation seems impossible.

They said that since the head of the Floten duchy was a transcendental person, any further pressure would be difficult.

“You idiot!”

Do you follow through on what you are told?

Absolutely not. This was definitely the stupidest and most useless waste of all dolls. If I didn’t have the status I had, I would have ripped my head off in an instant.

The leader spoke in a humorous voice to Anna, who was infuriated.

-Let’s figure it out on our own.

“You don’t mind if I mess with those bastards?”

-Well, that’s about it.

Anna smiled happily.

Because the previous cult leader’s answer just now made it possible to use force to resolve this matter.

“What’s going on? “They told me to hide all the time.”

―Shouldn’t we also slowly move externally? However, it is difficult to kill the duke.

“Are you going to resolve it quietly? “I’m quitting because I have to work now?”

-So be it.

The light in the crystal ball completely disappeared. The number of ways to solve problems has increased.

‘Stupid guy.’

Punishing an incompetent doll was a completely different matter.

With subtle anger in it.

Her new form moved towards the throne room.

* * *

“Is this what you were talking about?”

Inside the small box given by Bjorn. Inside was a black lump of a familiar shape. As I infused mana, the liquid penetrated into my body.

“That’s right.”

Just one day.

This was the time it took to get the eight pills back.

‘…Amazing.’

Duke Floten. Considering that it was thought that it would take time to get it back as it was a high-ranking noble family in the kingdom, the return was too quick.

“…lucky…good luck.”

The king’s reaction was extremely strange. They were heaving a sigh of relief, as if they were truly glad that the Eight Pillars were genuine.

If you think about it in common sense, is there any reason for Bjorn, who has never met Ethan, to move this far?

There was nothing at all.

Especially considering that it is a foreign country.

“I didn’t think I would get it back this easily. “That’s surprising.”

“A good thing…isn’t it a good thing…there’s no law…to remain in a…hostile…relationship with Heidern forever…. “

With a weak smile.

Bjorn answered like that. I burst out laughing internally. What has been the relationship between the two kingdoms over the past ten years? There was constant friction.

It was always Limedell that lit the fuse. If you think about it, anyone could see that answer as a freshly made excuse.

‘Or maybe he changed his mind due to old age.’

well.

Looking at his skinny appearance, it wouldn’t be surprising if he looked senile.

I couldn’t find anything strange on the outside. Even if you try to search secretly using mana to avoid the eyes of the knights guarding you…

‘The body’s reaction is also completely normal.’

I wondered if I was being manipulated by an evil warlock.

I guess that wasn’t the case. If it were black magic, the white flame inherent in the body would have reacted in some way.

In any case, there was no need to be hostile to someone who said nice things.

Even more so in a situation where it is not the kingdom you belong to.

“Thank you for your kindness.”

“I’m a little tired… Rest as much as you want… Feel free to move…”

He left the throne room.

According to the competition schedule, the opening ceremony of the preliminaries was scheduled for today.

Therefore, the accompanying party members had already left the castle to participate in the competition.

‘I guess I should check.’

Wangseong was able to escape easily. Perhaps because he had been notified by the king in advance, there was no knight to stop him.

A huge Colosseum located in the capital.

The area near the venue was already crowded with people who had gathered to watch. He approached the entrance and held out his card.

The guide, who bowed his head politely, personally guided us to our seats.

The top floor of the Colosseum, where only 50 seats are available out of 20,000. Ethan’s seat was placed in one of them.

I looked around.

Not many people came to see it on the first day. On this top floor.

At most, only about one-third of the people filled the assigned positions.

The reason was easy to guess.

This was not a position that could be assigned simply to high-ranking nobles. Starting with a gold-level invitation, you had to be the owner of a truly prestigious family to meet the minimum requirements. For those people, there was no need to check the muddy preliminaries one by one.

Ethan also came here to check on his group’s performance, not purely to enjoy the preliminaries.

Suddenly his gaze turned upward. There were only two seats there. Two thrones embossed in gorgeous gold.

One was the king’s.

And the podium is made to an equivalent height.

‘It must belong to the cult leader.’

The only person worthy of being treated as well as the king was the religious leader. While I was looking at my seat, I heard a voice announcing the start of the preliminary round.

A huge roar.

Divided into each section, over hundreds of people began to fight one-on-one. This happened because the number of participants was so large. Out of tens of thousands of participants, we had to select 128 people in just a few days.

It was while watching the game.

A loud sound began to echo throughout the Colosseum.

―His Majesty King Bjorn and the leader of the Naraxus Church are entering!

The shouting suddenly stopped.

Two people were walking out to the throne on the top floor. They held each other’s hands tightly as if to show off that they were very close friends.

A religious leader wearing a dark red robe.

He sat on the throne with the king.

Soon, I started turning my head to look around the entire Colosseum.

A gaze that keeps turning.

The place where the gaze stopped was the top floor of the Colosseum where Ethan was located.
