I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 136

#When I returned, the family was ruined (137)

The content of the video was simple.

Because it contained information about Agiles’ secret laboratory.

Direct collusion with the Yongin tribe.

This was material that could put political pressure on Aguiles.

“What do you an by planning it?”

“When Your Majesty puts pressure on Aguileth, four of the seven families will remain silent.”

One duchy and three marquesses.

The king’s eyes lit up after hearing the list.

The reason why the power of the Seven Families was so great was because there were literally seven famous families gathered together.

What if your family is missing from there?

‘…it’s worth putting pressure on.’

The story was that the only family that could help Agiles was Lacian.

This was quite surprising news.

Although the seven families were not a single body moving with one mind and will, they were basically families belonging to one fence. To them, the king was no different from a foreigner. There was a hidden reason why I had not been able to move easily until now.

“Did the duke himself persuade the four heads of the household?”

“It seems so. It seems that the Duke and the Marquis of Turian have already chosen Duke Ethan as their son-in-law.”

The story was that the two moderate families were already half-surrendered by the duke.

‘They even made the neutral faction into their allies.’

He had excellent political sense.

The King said with a satisfied smile.

“This makes it impossible not to move. How much pressure do you think you can put on Agiles?”

“The cause and the given situation are in our favor. However, if we put too much pressure on Aguiles, they may change their minds… realistically, it will be difficult to obtain more than compensation.”

Delprion nodded.

Even if the four families of the Seven Families stayed on the sidelines, the remaining two ducal families would still join forces. It was rather strange to answer that he could destroy Agiles with this much evidence.

‘That’s enough for now.’

The royal faction obtained a huge amount of compensation from one of the seven major families. Through this incident, the nobles who had maintained neutrality would be able to confirm the division of the seven families and the superiority of the King faction. It was a story about an opportunity to shake up the tightly balanced plate.

“Duke Ethan… he’s definitely a great guy.”

“yes. “When I organized the special team, I only thought about the implications of having a more gentle relationship between the 7th House and the Duke… but I think I have no choice but to admit it.”

Since the results showed it, I couldn’t help but admit it.

“Is there anything the Duke wanted?”

Given such good materials, it wouldn’t be surprising if they wanted sothing in return. The Earl of Wallington nodded at those words.

“He said he would like to obtain cooperation from the Shadow Knights in the future.”

“Cooperation from the Knights?”

“It seed like they were planning to attack the Capital Magic Society, a lower-level faction of the church and one of the groups collaborating with Agileth.”

The King’s eyes lit up.

What would be the reason for wanting to borrow the Shadow Knights here?

It was obvious.

This may an that by destroying one group, the attention of the church and the Duke of Agiles will be distributed along with the kingdom.

‘Hmm.’

Delprion thought for a mont.

The religious order that was secretly operating throughout the kingdom and continuing to suck blood was one of the forces that had to be completely defeated at so point.

“If you receive a gift, you must repay it. “I will.”

“yes. “Then I will tell the Duke so.”

Soon, the two began to plan a strategy to put pressure on Aguiles.

If too much pressure is applied, Agiles may not only escape the kingdom’s control, but beco completely attached to other kingdoms or denominations.

If Agiles, who has more than 10% of the kingdom’s power, moves like that, there is bound to be chaos.

The important thing is balance.

An ambiguous amount of compensation that cannot be either one way or another. So, in the end, exquisite pressure was needed to force them to pay compensation without being able to respond in any way.

“Even if I add a few more pieces of evidence…”

“At this level…”

The conversation between the two deepened.

* * *

Duke Himos let out a laugh after seeing the official letter that arrived from the kingdom.

“under.”

We inform you of the cris of the Duke of Aguiles. It was clearly revealed that the operative family was not only in direct collusion with the Yongin tribe, but had also been carrying out all kinds of illegal experints.

Accordingly, seven thousand platinum coins are granted as punitive damages and ordered to be paid to the kingdom within a week. If compensation is not paid within the deadline, forced seizure proceedings will be carried out…

Detailed cris…

The letters sent directly by the King contain the duke’s cris one by one.

‘You made the right decision.’

The charges were so diverse that it felt like they had gathered evidence and exploded it all at once.

Seven thousand platinum coins.

It was a burdenso amount to pay even with the duke’s financial resources.

‘Damn it!’

Duke Gerond had already contacted directly a few days ago about the secret laboratory matter. If this incident had not been discovered, it was inevitable that Gerond would pay compensation once he found out.

If the Duke, the chairman of the 7th House, put pressure on her right now, Agiles could have been thrown out of the 7th House.

In the end, there was no choice but to put an end to this incident by handing over the entire granary.

Just doing that alone is a lot of heat, but now I’m doing it…

‘Even the king is ssing with ?’

The fever couldn’t help but rise.

‘What kind of guts do you have?’

Himos smiled coldly and infused mana into the contact crystal ball. Soon, Duke Gerond’s face was revealed.

“It looks like the king is trying to ss with this.”

―…The king? What is the justification?

“The reason is because of illegal experints and collusion with the Yongin tribe. I guess I’ve been gathering evidence so far. “The situation is urgent. Could you convene a eting remotely?”

-Good. Don’t worry. The 7th family won’t just sit back and watch.

Soon, light ca into the seven crystal spheres.

Contact began to be made to the heads of the 7 families.

Fortunately, there were no absentees.

Gerond spoke to the bewildered family heads.

―Due to an urgent matter, the eting was held remotely. It seems that the King is planning to attack the Agiles side.

-under. You an the king? If you ask , “Oh my, my arrogance knows no bounds!”

Marquis Humphrey, head of the Marquis of Eltanis, shouted while slamming the desk.

He, along with Aguiles, was one of the heads of a family that belonged to the radical faction.

Gerond nodded at that and said.

―Discussing here about how we should jointly respond…

right then.

―The Dustin family will not care about this matter.

―The sa goes for Fractal Marquis.

―Marquis Eyden…

―Marquis Zenoris is the sa.

‘…?’

Duke Gerond and Duke Himos.

And even Marquis Humphrey.

A question mark appeared in the eyes of the three nobles. Without even having to say anything, more than half of the people were saying that they would watch this incident happen.

Of the three, the one who began to react most violently was Duke Himos, the person responsible for this incident.

Wow!

Biting the inside of his mouth, he asked while looking at the crystal ball.

“…What are we going to do now?”

-I am saying that I will not intervene.

“Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”

―You really don’t know why ‘we’ are doing this? Duke Himos, you have already crossed the line!

“what?”

―You’re trying to remove one of the seven late-stage indices without hesitation! Even if it had been our self-control rather than a milestone, your reaction wouldn’t have been any different!

“…!”

Himoth looked at Gerond.

Gerond quickly shook his head at the questioning look in his eyes as if he had spread this incident.

‘Damn it! why!’

That laboratory has already long since disappeared, with not even a trace of dust left behind. Wasn’t this sothing only Duke Gerond knew about?

At that mont, Duke, who was glaring at Himos, spoke.

―Don’t try to cover the entire sky with your palm, Duke Himos. We are not fools who play around with your will. No matter what your Majesty does, the four of us will not be involved in this matter.

Pop.

In an instant, the light in the four crystal spheres disappeared.

Hymos and Gerond.

Finally, to Humphrey.

There were only three crystal balls that did not light up.

“…Duke Gerond, what happened to this? “Didn’t you say that Mileton gave you the crystal ball?”

-It was like that.

“But how do they know about this!”

―Duke Ethan. I think he also recorded a video with my son.

“….”

Wow.

I never thought this matter would be made public like this.

It was an unimaginable blow.

Duke Himos took a deep breath.

‘Your family has already turned their backs on you.’

It was a no-brainer to put more pressure on Duke Gerond here.

‘That’s unlikely, but…’

If Gerond turned his back on him, he would be completely isolated.

-How will you respond?

“…Whew. “Shouldn’t we hand over compensation?”

If all seven families had the sa intention, it would not have mattered if compensation was not paid.

But it was different now.

At most, if the three families banded together to block the king’s will, the king would not let them go easily.

Then, the fact that the Seven Families were split into two will beco known throughout the kingdom.

‘That’s troubleso.’

Lacian and Aguileth.

The reason the two families were able to increase their power without being noticed by other powers was because they were part of the strong fence of the 7 families.

At least until they gained greater power than they do now, the seven families had to be treated as one.

Seven thousand platinum coins.

My stomach was very sore, but there was nothing I could do about it.

‘Damn it. I have no choice but to punish him for stepping on filth.’

Soon, a person appeared in Himos’ mind.

Duke of Ethan.

From the establishnt of the special team to what was done this ti.

He was a guy who didn’t like anything about him.

‘Theron. Using this guy…’

I will do whatever it takes to take him down from the throne.

Himos’ eyes lit up.

* * *

The mont the eting of the Seven Families ended.

Gerond narrowed his eyes.

‘The Duke had a video.’

Did Mileton know that?

When I t him and received the video.

It was a fact that I didn’t think much about at the ti. The son whom I had been training until now had such a soft nature that he could never tell a lie to .

‘…Now that I think about it, it’s strange.’

Was Mileton so ticulous that he always carried a mory crystal ball?

It wasn’t.

“…This is a video I captured myself.”

I couldn’t even imagine that he would lie to , so I assud it would happen at the ti, but the deeper I dug into it, the more questions ca to mind.

Of course, the possibility that Mileton fild the video himself was not zero.

The duke may have been filming the video at the ti as well.

If Mileton didn’t know that, his son would have only told him the ‘truth’, but if even one of the many assumptions changed…

‘It would an he was telling a lie.’

For Gerond, it was a very important problem. It was as if the blade of the ‘tool’ that had been thoroughly repaired had beco damaged.

He quickly began writing down the letter.
