I Regressed to My Ruined Family Chapter 248

＃When I returned, my family was ruined (249)

I was keenly aware of what was the biggest problem for Isera in recent times. That was to become stronger. So much so that it could be of help to Duke Ethan.

I knew that it was for that very reason that she had been acting nervous recently. That’s why I was able to congratulate him with a much more relaxed mind when he announced that he would sign a contract.

A ray of doubt I heard at that time. I didn’t think much about it at the time. I moved on, thinking that good things were good things.

‘…I never thought it would come back with results like this.’

Ethan’s eyes became gloomy.

He was a knight who was born with a strangely developed ability to perceive and control mana. In other words, being able to delicately control the mana around you was like having an excellent sense of energy. So, as soon as I saw Isera, I immediately noticed something strange.

Eyes that penetrate the essence gained by reaching the level of transcendence. Ethan’s eyesight and senses were screaming loudly. The Ysera in front of me is just like a covered shell.

The reason he didn’t immediately overturn the surroundings and start a riot was because he was aware of Ysera’s desire for strength.

Was this what she wanted?

From those problems to the numerous problems that will arise if this fact is made public. Now there are too many eyes to see and ears to listen. Even if I could ask her about this directly, it wouldn’t be right now. This was the reason why Ethan immediately gained momentum.

He whispered quietly.

[Look at me for a moment after the party.]

He spoke to Ysera in a colder voice than ever. She smiled calmly and nodded slightly.

The celebration party continued as planned. The atmosphere was heated, as if it were a triumphal ceremony.

Sera Lee sipping champagne looked exactly the same as usual. It was quite natural that people around her did not notice the change in her.

Even Nerian, the leader of the Dragon Slayer Order, and Myers, the next in rank, were talking to her as usual.

‘…but.’

It was natural not to notice the change. Wasn’t it something that even Ethan, who had reached transcendence, felt strange and only found out after continuing to look at it?

What if…

If it weren’t for the doubts I had when she said she was signing a contract, I wouldn’t have felt any discomfort the moment I met Lee Sera. Even if I had felt it, I probably would have ignored it.

That’s how calmly she was acting ‘Lee Sera’.

So secretly and delicately that no one would notice.

However, Ethan had doubts about the Spirit Lord’s contract, and as soon as he felt something strange in his doubts, he began to have doubts.

After looking at her for a while through doubt, I became convinced.

different.

I didn’t exactly understand her condition. However…

-Master, why did you do that earlier?

-The soul is bound.

-Your soul is bound? That kid?

-okay.

The soul that determines the essence of human beings.

That soul was tightly bound by a very thin thread of mana. It felt like witnessing a butterfly caught tightly in a spider’s web.

-To whom? No way… to that monarch?

-It seemed like that.

Ysera may think of herself as weak, but she was definitely a strong woman who belonged to the top rank among superhumans. There was no way that the soul of the master and the soul of the superman were the same. The power inherent in the soul is clearly on a different level. There were not many beings in the world who could control the soul of a master of his size so perfectly.

Only a spirit lord who has completed a contract can completely control a human being.

By simply binding the soul, you can bring in all the personality, speech, thoughts, and concepts of the object as if they were built-in.

It was so perfect that even if my father, the Marquis Turian, came, I would not feel the slightest suspicion.

-Holy shit. I’m in trouble. Is there a way to solve it?

-That’s the problem. If that state is what Ysera wanted… the problem is bound to become complicated.

―…I really wanted it. Although she clearly likes her master, she wouldn’t have acted that way even if it meant eating her soul.

-I think so too.

I remembered Ysera’s bright smile from the carriage. Immediately afterwards, as if replaying the scene, Ysera, who was at the party, smiled at Ethan. Suddenly, a part of my heart felt tight.

* * *

After the party was over.

[Follow me.]

He whispered straight to Ysera. The two new models disappeared in an instant. Among the numerous knights in the duchy, no one noticed the absence of the two. At best, Elena, who had been informed in advance, quietly settled the situation.

A remote outskirt of the duchy. It wasn’t until he reached a rough terrain with absolutely no people that Ethan’s eyes turned backwards.

“Why did you do that?”

“…What?”

It was an innocent voice, as if he didn’t know anything. It was so similar. Because of that, my heart felt even colder.

If even Ethan hadn’t noticed, Ysera would never be able to get herself back. No, everyone would have been swayed by a monarch pretending to be Ise.

“…Stop imitating, Lorotia.”

“I don’t know why Your Excellency is like that….”

“If you think I haven’t noticed, I’d like to tell you that you’re mistaken. It is the last warning. “Stop imitating.”

I grabbed my new sword.

The smile that had been on Isera’s lips disappeared only after she revealed her intention to draw the sword if the situation arises.

“Hmm. “I’m not just guessing, but I guess I really noticed.”

“okay.”

“How can you be so perceptive? “Not even looking pretty.”

“I will ask. “Is it Ysera’s will that you have become like that now?”

“I didn’t lie.”

“Don’t try to jump into nonsense and just answer my questions straight.”

“Isn’t it too cold? How much I have given you. “Have you really forgotten?”

“I didn’t forget.”

“Then you shouldn’t act like that to me.”

Suddenly, my emotions were shaken.

Some inexplicable feeling of darkness spread inside my heart. It was a feeling that could be called sadness.

“I haven’t lived long, but I know the truth that works like a proverb.”

Sreung!

Ethan, who drew his divine sword, continued.

“There is a reason why words go round and round. “These are usually very lame reasons.”

“Honey, do you really not know why I’m answering like this?”

“….”

“Because I don’t want to lie to you. “I don’t deceive because I only want to tell the truth.”

Unlike all humans in this world.

Because that kid is special.

That’s why Lorotia didn’t tell lies that were easily told to other humans.

“…Why did you do that?”

“There was work to be done.”

“I need to know what that is.”

“Hmm…”

Silence continued. Lorotia, who had kept her mouth shut for a while, spoke.

“…good night. Let me tell you some of it. “I was trying to help you.”

“You were trying to help me?”

“okay. Isn’t your purpose to hunt the dragon clan? “I was just trying to help with that and do my job.”

Lorotia, who was staring at the divine sword, spoke soothingly.

“Put away your sword. “We have no reason to fight.”

“I need to listen carefully. “How the contract was made and why Ysera’s soul is tied up.”

Ethan’s eyes did not waver one bit. Lorothia felt it instinctively. I have no intention of putting down my sword until I hear an explanation.

She sighed and opened her mouth. The content was simple. That she got what she wanted.

“In the end, this is also helpful to the duke.”

“….”

“Was I wrong?”

―After hearing it, it wasn’t wrong…

―Be quiet.

Bbangi immediately closed his mouth. This was because the owner’s voice was so fierce. Ethan, who had been silent for a while, spoke.

“okay. “You’re partly right.”

“Some say?”

“It’s clear that Ysera still lacks the skills to handle you. “You won’t be able to summon much, and you won’t even be able to dream of fighting.”

I knew it. Even if she makes a contract with the monarch like Ysera wants, it is difficult to gain the power to overpower the ruler in an instant.

As a monarch is a being with great power, it takes a considerable amount of time to handle it.

Even Ysera, who is known as a genius in the world, cannot guarantee how many years she will have to spend to be able to perfectly handle the monarch.

“That is what I said. “Isn’t this better to achieve the duke’s goal?”

The words continued with such passion that it seemed like an impassioned speech.

“I am the one who handles this body. It’s not that difficult for me to utilize my powers. Because it is a royal family, it will not be able to exert the same power as the Land of Fire, but it will be enough to deal with the ruler. At least you won’t be pushed away easily.”

“….”

“I know what you’re worried about. Aren’t you training so desperately to be able to handle the power of that demon dragon? I will help you. “If we join forces, even if the opponent is a demon dragon, we won’t be easily defeated.”

It wasn’t wrong. Even though the body was changed to Ysera’s, it was the Lord of Fire who utilized that power. Everything from power output to efficiency.

It can’t be compared to before.

The current Ysera… no, Lorotia is definitely helpful. He was a being who was not only helpful at best, but could provide an abundance of help.

“Don’t you want to take revenge on the dragon clan? You said you would definitely return the favor to me. “Am I wrong?”

“It’s not wrong.”

“I will give you a chance to repay that favor now. It’s not like I’m going to use this human body for the rest of my life. Ten years, ten years will do. After that, it will be returned in full.”

It’s such an easy proposition. To the point where it would be foolish not to accept it in order to achieve your goal.

Lorothia thought so.

This must have been enough to convince me.

But Ethan’s answer cruelly shattered her expectations. Strictly speaking, he didn’t answer.

It’s just that the eerie-looking armor instantly covered my entire body.

Life began to completely encroach on the surroundings.

“Are you really going to fight me?”

“As long as you have no intention of returning the body to its original owner.”

“why? What benefit do you have? “Isn’t it only a temporary sacrifice at best?”

“I let go of many colleagues in the name of sacrifice.”

Memories of my past life came to mind. Many heroes lost their lives. Even his two younger brothers sacrificed their lives for him.

It was all an act done in the name of sacrifice. The reason we want to exterminate the dragon clan is to prevent something like that from happening again.

But to condone sacrificing the soul and body of your comrades for ten years to exterminate the dragon race? In a way she didn’t want?

All it did was force a sacrifice.

It is as if the host and guest have been converted.

“That’s why I hate that word the most, Lorotia.”

Good luck!

White flames burned above the divine sword.
