I Regressed to My Ruined Family Chapter 282

＃After returning, the family was ruined (283)

Deacon’s royal castle, Datri Hall.

Ethan, the uninvited guest inside, frowned.

‘Hmm. ‘I never thought two people would catch it at once.’

King Haman seen from very far away. He also felt the same sense of discomfort as Bjorn.

Deacon and Limedell.

This meant that the leaders of the two kingdoms were already in league with the church.

‘how will we do it.’

He thought for a moment. There was no need to deal with the two kings now. However, after dealing with disaster and deception, the story is quite different.

If there was a conflict with the Demon Dragon at that time, it was a risk factor for the authors to urge their country’s nobles to send troops to Heidern. These are people whose individual power is truly insignificant, but whose political power and status are extremely high.

Process it. And don’t process it. There were two main directions.

In Ethan’s opinion, both had clear pros and cons. Anna’s energy was covered by the power of the cult leader, so it was impossible to determine exactly how it worked.

However, I was able to quickly figure out what the most important elements were.

Gyoju and Anna.

The question was whether the two kings accepted their energy voluntarily or unwillingly. Is there any reason to arbitrarily implant the power to control oneself?

There won’t be any.

There must have been a strong lack of something. Aren’t there often a lot of supporting characters in novels who try to use black magic to bring back their families and end up with a bad ending?

Even if they are kings, there is no way they are without deficiencies. Instead of filling that deficiency, he may have promised to live like a puppet as a condition of the transaction. If that is not the case…

‘It may be that he was simply deceived with coaxing and then planted with power.’

I will give you strength.

Bewitched by these evil devil’s words, you indulge in its power to your heart’s content, and in the end, you have no choice but to wait for destruction like a butterfly tied up in a spider’s web.

Either they made a contract in that way, or they just secretly implanted that kind of power in them.

There were several possibilities.

If that energy was accepted as a trading condition to fill the first possibility deficiency.

‘…Better to kill.’

Even Ethan couldn’t figure out what the deficiency was. But one thing was certain. The deficiency would be so great that even the king of a country could not fill it. It may be structured in such a way that a significant sacrifice is needed to achieve it.

These are the people who willingly accepted that method. Moreover, it seemed unlikely that the religious leader would have resolved the deficiency right away.

Usually, it was a convenient method to hand out rewards as if scattering bait every time a person made a move the way he or she wanted.

In that case, there was a high possibility that he would point the blade at himself when he was liberated. To the kings, he would be perceived as a heinous criminal who interfered with the great cause.

But what if power was planted in the latter way rather than the former?

It’s like I was manipulated even though I didn’t want to be. There was no way he would be happy about it. In that case, it was much better not to kill him.

In such a situation, the two kings would consider the person who liberated them as their benefactor, would hate the church, and in conclusion, there was a high possibility that they would side with Heidern when war broke out.

The position of king will be of great power as it is a very useful position politically.

The reason Anna had no choice but to embrace that power even in unwanted situations was probably because no one around her noticed Anna’s power.

The power that the leader and Anna hid together was very secret.

‘So my gratitude will be doubled.’

So I was worried. Assassination of the two kings itself is not difficult, but future events will inevitably differ greatly depending on what position they are in.

Since this question arose, Ethan had been investing a considerable amount of time observing King Haman, unlike when observing Bjorn.

Starting from the head to every little fluff on the knees and feet.

The most important thing was to look at Harman’s physical reactions to see if he was showing any negative emotions about his situation.

‘There will be restrictions.’

The people around me didn’t notice. The story was that the kings hid this fact even from their close associates.

Of course, if I speak up, something will happen.

Regardless of whether it is a matter of personal history or a direct limitation such as a heart attack.

Even so, it didn’t matter.

Because humans have not always been animals that express their emotions only with their mouths.

Negative emotions were inevitably accompanied by physical reactions.

Even if there were strong hints, all those reactions could not be hidden.

Starting from the morning until the last moment when Haman falls asleep in his bedroom.

The investigation continued without missing a single moment. From afar, I took advantage of hibernation to the limit.

Still, the investigation went smoothly.

This was because the range of energy that Ethan could feel after becoming a transcendent was already wide enough to cover the entire castle. Wherever King Haman was, observing him was not that difficult.

Unlike King Bjorn, who was so skinny and twisted that he practically looked half-starved.

King Haman had a plump body and was very good at eating. The body’s response was very active, and even when sleeping, it seemed like a comfortable sleep without a single nightmare.

The result of an investigation conducted over two days.

Ethan concluded.

‘Haman was not ruled by others.’

If that were the case, it was impossible for my complexion to remain unchanged for two days. From big things like having nightmares to small things like physical reactions like shaking your head. Otherwise, it would have been normal to have at least an implicit feeling of resignation. However, he was living a fuller and happier daily life than anyone else in the world.

‘I don’t know the reason… but at least one thing is certain.’

At least Haman must have accepted that power of domination himself.

Haman’s name appeared in the kill list in Ethan’s head.

Whatever it was, he was a human who was in collusion with the dragon clan to his core.

It would be good to evaluate this as the number one human that needs to be dealt with quickly.

He quietly left the palace.

Everything that needed to be checked at Deacon was kept in mind. There was no reason to stay here any longer.

It left the capital and moved northwest. By the time we passed through several villages and cities in three days.

A huge mountain range was visible in the distance. A desolate mountainous area where the entire land has frozen and thawed so much that it has cracked open and its insides are clearly visible.

The Elfernrys Mountains were coming into view.

* * *

[…So, you haven’t seen the Duke at all for the past few days?]

[…Yes, the reactions of the people around him are similar. It is said that he has entered the closing training…]

[Hmm… I understand.]

The face of Calamity, who had put down the crystal ball, darkened.

‘shit!’

bang!

Immediately after, he started destroying the objects around him. It was because my anger was soaring that I couldn’t bear it.

“Ugh!”

After going on a rampage for a while, he stopped destroying it. Why did my anger rise to an unbearable level? The reason was simple. This was because I found myself sending shivers down my spine just from hearing the news that the duke had disappeared.

For Calamity, who usually despised humans extremely, such a reaction was unbearably humiliating. Weak coward.

It reminded me of the brothers who berated me when I was very young.

At that time, Calamity had a particularly weaker body than his other brothers.

So I endured it. And he executed each of his brothers more cruelly than anyone else. He withstood all the cruel hardships. He was never a coward. However, his current behavior was no different from that of a weak coward.

The thing that gets more heated is.

It was clear that his weak heart was clearly visible as he was still worried that the duke might have been absent under the pretext of a closed training session.

“Whoosh whoosh.”

Calamity slowly took a breath. After exhaling for a long time, my head felt a little cold.

‘Is this strange?’

There was nothing particularly strange about the subordinate’s report. If this was the first time the closed-door training had been conducted, there would certainly have been some suspicious aspects.

However, there were reports that the duke went to closed-door training more often than expected. In my mind, I felt like urging my subordinate to check whether he really entered the training room.

But I knew very well that I couldn’t do that.

Even the shadow met death while chasing after the duke.

Even more so, would his subordinate be able to continue observing while avoiding the duke’s eyes?

In order to avoid being noticed by the duchy’s knights, he had sent a fairly high-level servant. Even if

you move it yourself, you can’t guarantee it. Moreover, it was virtually impossible to entrust it to a subordinate. If you give an order, only your own people will die.

In reality, it was something that could not be helped. At the last meeting, there was unanimous agreement on the idea of monitoring the duke, but there were differences of opinion on the level of subordinates to be dispatched.

If we were to deploy our closest associates, if we lost them, the damage would be severe.

However, if you send someone, the meaning of surveillance disappears.

How is this any different from an errand boy who goes to the duchy just to hear rumors?

In the end, what the four rulers chose was to deploy informants with enough power to save face. As a result, although you can hear whispers about the duke’s whereabouts, you cannot know the truth.

In the end, all of this happened because of the Duke, who grew stronger too quickly. Just before the tyrant dies.

Even three months ago at most, if you had sent your closest aide to spy, you would have been full of sarcasm asking why you were overinvesting in monitoring just one person. Things have changed so much now.

The situation has worsened to the point where safety cannot be guaranteed even if the ruler himself, not the closest aide, takes action.

‘Let’s stay calm.’

At best, I’ve just entered the closing training. What can you do in this situation? Since we need to find out for sure whether they have really entered the closing training, why don’t we send all the reconnaissance personnel to the inner city?

Even when I thought about it, it was a ridiculous and ridiculous suggestion. I’ll be lucky if I don’t get ridiculed for being a coward.

‘Aren’t they even worried?’

Calamity, thinking of the demon dragon and domination, gritted its teeth. At least Gigi showed signs of concern, while these two guys were busy handing out even a handful of insults to him.

Nevertheless, the reason they did not feel any doubt was because they thought that if the situation were the opposite, they would probably have acted the same way.

So what can we do?

I can only think of it as karma.

Right then.

I had a creepy feeling. An instinct that had been with me for a long time was screaming.

Avoid it.

Disaster hastily lowered its head.

Huh!

As soon as he lowered his head, a huge wind pressure filled with intense heat passed over his head.

Catastrophe’s face immediately turned up and looked at the other person.

A white-flaming greatsword.

Because the person I had heard so many stories about recently was right in front of me.
