I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 161

＃After returning, the family was ruined (162)

“Um… Excellency the Duke, is this really true?”

“okay.”

If the person who entrusted this task to him was not the duke, he would have imdiately co out with double anger.

I knew that Mileton was a latter-day index who was doing quite well, earning the title of the best sword in the kingdom, but to restore the duchy with just him!

In short, it ans using milestones to revolt within the family…

‘Is this going to be a fight?’

Anyone could see that it was like hitting a rock with an egg. I was even more confident because I saw Aguiles’ force composition chart.

There were very few vassals within Mileton’s influence. All it took was one or two barons to play well.

On the other hand, what about Gerond, the head of the family?

He was known as a transcendental person who greatly revived Lacian and beca a core layer of power that no one could touch, and whose skills were only heard of.

Hans, who was silent for a mont, opened his eyes. From what I have seen so far, the Duke is a bold yet ticulous person. This order must have been given because sothing was possible.

“Is it possible that Prince Mileton’s skills were much higher than expected?”

To the extent that it becos a fight with the head of the family?

If that were the case, it was by no ans an impossible goal.

Although he maintained a youthful appearance as a transcendent, Gerond was close to 50 years old.

‘At that level, you’re practically an old man in the back room, right?’

A young and energetic successor.

A tiger that is already old and has lost its teeth.

With a structure like this, it was worth a try. Of course, one’s life cannot be easily guaranteed.

Ethan shook his head.

“If that guy gets along with his father, he probably won’t be able to survive even three sums.”

“….”

Then how on earth are you going to restore the dukedom?

A prestigious family like Lacian was sure to have the duke’s eyes and ears everywhere. No matter how carefully you move, you will definitely get caught.

‘It would be the sa even if we used the black moon.’

Even if the recently rapidly growing intelligence community was used, it was not possible to conceal all movents.

Ethan quietly smiled and responded to Hans’ questioning look.

“If you go and do the work yourself, things will turn out amazingly well.”

Hans, who was silent for a mont, nodded.

‘There is a lot of rit that I have achieved so far.’

The Duke probably doesn’t intend to use the words to discard himself. Ethan appears to be more cruel than anyone else on the outside, but he actually has a deep heart of his own.

‘I have no choice but to believe…’

A huge crisis can also be a huge opportunity. In order not to lose sight of the outstanding character that is Ethan, he had to show himself even more confidently at tis like this.

“I will definitely carry out the Duke’s orders!”

“Let’s try making contact starting tomorrow.”

It was the day when the special class ended. Hans nodded resolutely.

“All right.”

“Oh.”

“Please tell .”

“Even if you find out the ‘truth’, don’t ntion it to Mileton.”

‘truth?’

Those were aningful words.

Hans, who was tilting his head to Ethan’s words, responded.

“…I will do that.”

What does the duke know?

I guess I should check it out as I proceed with work.

* * *

Inside the special class, the closing ceremony of the class was in progress. During the simple party, the late exponents approached Ethan one by one.

“I learned a lot during that ti. Thank you, Your Excellency the Duke.”

“ too.”

Zeros and Leon bowed politely, while Dorothy…

“I want to follow the Duke too!”

“…Dorothy, can you co here for a mont?”

As soon as I could say anything, Isera dragged away and disappeared. It seed like they were about to have a deep conversation.

anwhile, Mileton, who was quietly drinking in the corner, approached Ethan with a determined expression as if he had decided on sothing.

“Thank you so much.”

Mileton bowed his head slightly.

At first, I treated Ethan with envy and jealousy, but now it was different. Three months have changed many aspects of the milestone. Ethan was now his teacher and advisor, and on the other hand, he was soone who could be called a rival.

Class is over, but Mileton’s journey has just begun.

It was clear that my father was involved in the deaths of my mother and brother. Rebellion was slowly blooming in the heart of a child who had never been loved.

‘…your father was wrong.’

His own family had already been distorted for a long ti. I had no intention of just leaving it like that in the past. Mileton intended to build his own force.

I had to act like that in order to one day expose my father’s evil and change the family that was going down the wrong path. Ethan looked at Mileton and nodded.

‘I guess you’ve made up your mind.’

Mileton was an important card that could prevent Lacian’s runaway. It was for that very reason that I continued to have deep interactions with him over the past three months.

Preparation is over.

Ethan said while looking at Mileton.

“Sooner or later, people will visit.”

“…A person?”

“You have the ability to act and are quick to notice, so I won’t hold you back.”

Mileton was pleased to hear those words.

What he lacked most was outstanding talent. He then looked at Ethan intently and spoke.

“…Why are you helping like this? My father was definitely the Three Dukes…”

“Isn’t that what you did?”

“….”

Mileton, who had been silent for a while, lowered his head.

“…If I beco the head of the family, I will never forget this favor.”

“done.”

Ethan waved his hand.

Mileton laughed bitterly at that sight. The duke has always been a consistent person.

Is it simply because they are strong?

‘I guess not.’

Correct and clear beliefs.

That would be the biggest rock that supports the knight nad Ethan. Mileton wanted to be a knight like Ethan, not Gerond.

Until the finale ceremony is completely over.

Mileton’s eyes never left Ethan.

* * *

Late night.

Two people approached Mileton, who was preparing to leave the academy.

“Nice to et you, Prince Mileton. “My na is Hans.”

“My na is Marcus.”

Mileton had also heard of one of the two nas.

“…Freedom fighter?”

“…It’s a sha, but it’s called that.”

“Nice to et you. “It’s a milestone.”

The three people who greeted each other started a conversation. Mileton’s attitude was consistently polite.

‘As they were introduced by the Duke himself, they must have extraordinary abilities.’

The sa was true for Marcus, who is now known as the freedom fighter. Rumors about this interest were shaking the entire kingdom. In particular, the story of the destruction of the 10th clan touched the hearts of many people. In light of that, Hans must also be a person with great strengths.

“In order to gain power within a family, you need the support of the people. Not only that, but you also need to gather support from your vassals. For the forr, you can use the freedom fighters…”

Hans looked at Mileton and handed him a bundle of docunts.

The docunt contained information about the vassals and who should be recruited with priority.

Mileton was shocked when he saw that. Although this may not be completely confidential, it was clear that it contained information about Lacian’s internal circumstances. What was even more surprising was that the analysis written in the docunt was correct more than 90% of the ti.

“…How did you find out about this?”

“Your Excellency the Duke’s information network is much wider and deeper than you think. “I just took advantage of it.”

“…It’s truly amazing.”

Duke Ethan’s information network was also great, and Hans’s resourcefulness in using it to select targets for recruitnt could also be said to be excellent. If such powerful people help him, restoring his family won’t just be a dream.

“Even though it’s not enough, I’ll ask you to take care of in the future.”

“yes. “We will do our best to help Confucius.”

It was a successful first eting.

* * *

‘Is this more worth doing than I thought?’

Hans was secretly impressed.

Every ti he handed over the information requested from the Black Moon, Mileton moved boldly yet secretly.

Sotis he skillfully carried out threats by capturing the weak points of his vassals, and sotis he persuaded them to change their minds by preaching about future possibilities. The number of people captured over two weeks was close to five.

‘I thought one or two of them might fail…’

Mileton was much better than he expected.

It was the sa in terms of skills and personality. Although he showed a cold side like his father, he sotis showed a caring side.

‘also. Are you saying there is no seer under the auspicious mark?’

However, there were no questions. Lacian’s internal situation was progressing urgently.

‘The diehards gathered together.’

Those who are willing to do anything for their family. They were currently carrying out so kind of work with the Duke.

‘That too after the Cities and Governnt eting was held.’

As if they were rushing to do sothing, the hard-core factions spread out everywhere and were gathering goods and people.

‘It wasn’t enough that they suddenly increased taxes within the territory…’

They were also maintaining close contact with Aguiles. Judging by the atmosphere, it was clear that there was interest in black magic.

‘…what? Did you feel a sense of crisis when you faced the Duke?’

I heard that there was friction between Duke Himos and Ethan at the Central Council. There is even talk of maintaining tension as a result.

If Ethan was a rising nova, Gerond could be said to be a cold moon that was slowly waning. A crisis always makes people impatient.

Gerond was the strongest transcendent in the kingdom, but that did not an he had enough power to completely overturn the tide.

In order to achieve overwhelming power, you must advance to a level beyond that of a transcendental level, but rather than surpassing a level that you have not been able to overco before…

‘It might be better to use an apostle to increase your skills more quickly…’

So, use black magic. It could have been an attempt to use it to do sothing.

What if the Bone Sect is used to collect the necessary ‘materials’ and perform black magic?

‘It’s definitely a story that could happen…’

There was one problem.

Due to this situation, the speed of recruiting moderate vassals as opposed to the hard-core faction beca much faster. Those who were alienated from the center of the family were slowly feeling anxious.

“If you go and do the work yourself, things will turn out amazingly well.”

Ethan was right.

Because Mileton began to have more forces under his command than expected in a shorter period of ti than expected.

“Even if you find out the ‘truth’, don’t ntion it to Mileton.”

‘It’s the truth.’

Does that an Gerond is dabbling in dark magic?

Hans shook his head.

It is strange in itself to express such an easily ascertainable fact with such grandiose words as ‘truth.’

Anyway, one thing was certain.

Change was beginning at Lacian from within. And at a very fast speed.

Hans, who wrote the report, visited Mileton. His face slowly distorted as he read the analysis.

‘Dark magic!’

During this ti, he was able to recruit his retainers and learn about what happened when he was born. What his father did was truly atrocious. Because he sacrificed his mother and brother to pursue his ‘talent’.

This is a person who sacrificed even his blood relatives without hesitation. There is no law that prevents you from doing sothing twice that has already been done once.

‘…but. ‘You must have felt a sense of crisis.’

Mileton also knew that the atmosphere of the entire kingdom had changed. The idea of turning to black magic to turn things around was a fact that could be guessed.

“I guess we won’t have much ti.”

Since it was a black magic prepared by a transcendental person, it was certain that nurous ingredients would be needed.

However, it won’t take long for Gerond to have such materials.

“…yes. I think we need to move faster than we do now. Fortunately, the atmosphere is slowly moving towards us.”

From the beginning, it was not a good territory for the people to live in, but now it has completely gone too far. Perhaps because of the sudden surge in taxes, the residents of the territory were slowly boiling over.

Marcus and other informants who were secretly deployed within the territory were diligently spreading rumors about Mileton. Even if the owner of the territory changes, there will be no noise.

“I think we need to gradually recruit the central officials.”

So far, we have mainly recruited people with low titles or who are not key mbers of the family. This was because he did not know what would happen if his movents ca under his father’s surveillance network.

However, the situation was not going smoothly.

Just as Gerond was running, it was ti for him to speed up as well. And that’s faster than Gerond’s movents.

“…yes. If you’re starting out, I think Viscount Walton would be a good first target.”

Viscount Walton was in charge of one of the five knights’ orders that existed in the Dukedom.

‘A person with skills close to a superhuman.’

Taking control of the military is sothing that must be done. Mileton nodded with a stern face and secretly sent a letter.
