I Regressed to My Ruined Family Chapter 41

I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 41

＃When I returned, the family was ruined (42)

Ethan grabbed Zipron by the collar.

“Let go…let go!”

It was quite annoying to ss around.

slam!

The mont I slapped him on the cheek, he beca quiet as if he were dead.

He fainted instantly from the imnse power. Even though the Baron was being beaten right in front of him, no one moved.

“From now on, the position of Baron is vacant. Therefore, for the ti being, I will personally rule over the Barony of Ronten.”

After speaking, Ethan raised the Baron and approached the knights.

The remaining knights were those who attacked him because of the orders of their master, the Baron.

Knights who have so respect for the Ardan duchy, or at least have no hostility.

It was for that reason that they were saved.

“Where is the prison?”

“…It is located near the training ground in the west.”

“Put this guy in there.”

“You an…the Baron is in prison?”

“I would have said it wasn’t the Baron.”

“….”

oh my god.

I never thought they were really thinking of putting Zipron in jail!

There wasn’t a trace of laughter in Ethan’s words. That was absolutely no joke.

“If this guy isn’t in jail when I get back, you guys will be held accountable.”

“….”

No matter how loyal a knight is to his master.

There were few people who could keep their loyalty in such a situation where their lives were openly threatened. The knight whom Ethan personally gave orders to was one of those types.

“Are you dissatisfied?”

No one ca forward.

He chuckled and handed the baron to the knights. The hesitating knights moved toward the prison, carrying the Baron on their backs.

Ethan’s eyes soon turned to the soldiers.

Despite the Baron’s orders, these were private soldiers who strongly opposed him.

Thank you for reminding of the dukedom of the past.

Ethan bowed his head slightly.

“Thank you everyone.”

“Oh…no! “I just did what I had to do…!”

The soldiers jumped up.

For them, as commoners, behaving like this was just a natural way of thinking. It ans that the descendants of that great family have never done sothing great enough to bow their heads.

anwhile, Ethan continued speaking.

“I will make a promise right here. “From now on, everything will be different in the Barony of Ronten.”

gulp!

The soldiers swallowed their saliva.

When they were young.

In the Kingdom of Heidern, the Duchy of Ardan was renowned as the most livable region.

A family that was cruel to its enemies, but was warr than anyone else to those who ca within its walls.

Because of this, the residents of the duchy were very proud and had great respect for past dukes.

The archduke was also a descendant of that dukedom. These are the words of a person who is more trustworthy than anyone else.

Exploitation and oppression will disappear and we will be able to continue our past prosperity once again.

Hope filled the soldiers’ eyes.

“If only the Archduke would rule over the Barony… I will protect it with my life!”

“ too!”

Among the excited soldiers, one soldier raised his hand and said.

“Grand Duke! Ho…perhaps! “Can you just shake my hand…”

William shouted with his eyes tightly closed. There was a story I heard from my parents when I was young.

When the forr Duke ca out for an inspection.

The story was that the duke personally shook their hands and blessed their parents.

After that, William’s parents achieved noticeable results in everything they did, and were eventually able to save enough money to open a decent store in the city.

Although the previous Duke closed his eyes, his descendants were right in front of his eyes.

‘If only I could shake the Archduke’s hand!’

He didn’t know if he would be able to raise a prosperous family like his parents.

Ethan nodded willingly to the soldier’s words.

In the past, when I inspected the territory with my father, I prayed with blessings for so of the people.

“It’s not difficult.”

Ethan approached the soldier.

“What’s your na?”

“Wal…it’s William!”

“William. Blessings on your future path.”

Just like I learned from my father.

Ethan blessed him.

“Thank you…thank you! “I will not wash my hands until I die!”

“…But make sure you wash your hands. “Because the blessing won’t disappear just that much.”

“okay! thank you!”

William bowed his head. It was right then.

“Grand Duke! Blessings from too…!”

“ too…!”

The soldiers all began to raise their hands. It seed like there would be quite a few handshakes today.

* * *

After shaking hands with each of Lee Baek’s soldiers, Ethan entered the castle. Everyone in the inner room had darkened faces.

It is said that everyone, starting from the knight commander who was a 5-star knight, to the deputy knight commander who was a 4-star knight, all t death.

It was said that the knights could not even touch a hair of the archduke’s hair, so it was possible to guess how high his skills were even without hearing any more.

‘I hid my skills.’

It has been revealed to the world that the rumors spreading from the Barony of Kargath were false.

Thanks to this, Baron Ziphron was imprisoned without even being able to resist. He had always been swearing all sorts of things about Helmut, but he himself had t a miserable end.

A person began to enter the quiet inner room.

As if it was only natural, he arrived at the Baron’s office and knocked on the door.

“Grand Duke. “Can I co in?”

“okay.”

Soon after, Sylvia ca into the office.

“Now you have regained two baronies.”

“There’s a long way to go. “What about Frexian?”

“I have already delivered the news to Master. “You will probably arrive here within a day.”

After speaking, Sylvia handed over the docunts.

Ethan opened the docunt.

This ti too, various strategies were written down as if they were trying to disrupt information, just like when they occupied the Barony of Kargas.

It didn’t look bad to him.

The more the enemy lets down his guard, the easier it will be to move.

He nodded willingly and turned to the second page.

“This is information about Baron Ronton’s vassals and blood relatives.”

He looked at the contents closely.

The docunt she handed over was filled with detailed information, starting with which vassals the Baron’s blood relatives were related to and how the vassals had behaved so far.

I heard you created an information group.

It seed like he had been moving in his own way so far.

“This place is also quite rotten.”

“yes. I think it needs to be sorted out. “Once the Grand Duke makes a decision, we will handle it.”

“Sure.”

The first thing I looked at was the personal details of the vassals involved in tax affairs.

Eight out of ten were officials who were so corrupt that they were completely rotten.

He looked at the list and lightly put an These are things that cannot even be recycled. It would be right to confiscate all his family assets and imdiately hang his head on the guillotine.

Just like that, Xs began to grow between the docunts.

“Now that I think about it, what happened to gathering officials?”

“To date, more than 30 officials have gathered. “All of them have experience working in the duchy and have the right ntality.”

“Tell everyone to co to the Barony of Kargath, leaving about 10 of them.”

As the number of vacant positions was expected to increase significantly, people needed to fill them.

If you’re around 20, the territory’s business won’t be paralyzed.

“I will.”

He then entrusted command of the private soldiers to Sylvia.

She was entrusted with the process of dealing with the people who had marked the X and tying up the Baron’s blood relatives.

She nodded slightly.

Not even a day had passed since Baron Ronton was occupied.

The water change was already progressing rapidly.

* * *

A day passed.

anwhile, the number of people in the prison had increased significantly.

Because there were so many people who did things that deserved to be locked up.

A person was moving towards the prison.

It was Sylvia.

Several knights stood near her as if to guard her.

Sylvia looked at the building where the prison was located.

This prison was located in a building above ground rather than underground. It would be appropriate to say that it is a three-story stone pagoda.

She climbed the stairs to her prison cell. Zipron was locked in a room located at the top of the top floor.

“Please wake up.”

“….”

Just one day.

Ziphron’s complexion, locked in a solitary cell without a single ray of sunlight, had turned completely dark.

Like I was lost in thought for a long ti.

“who are you?”

“I am the Archduke’s agent.”

“…Why did you co?”

“I have sothing to ask you.”

Sylvia answered very calmly and took out so tools.

Ziphron’s complexion turned pale when he saw them. Just looking at them, they were tools specialized for torture.

For him, whose entire body was tied up and unable to move properly, the current situation was a horror in itself.

“What…what are you trying to do! “You crazy guy!”

“You probably know what happened to Helmut, right?”

“….”

“If you want to go comfortably, just answer the questions well.”

It felt like just saying what I wanted to say with an expressionless face wouldn’t work at all in negotiations.

This guy was one of the scariest types of people.

Sylvia asked while Zipron was trembling.

“The Duke’s relics. “Where did you put it?”

“If it’s a keepsake… do you an that black liquid?”

“you’re right.”

Zipron rolled his eyes at those words. As the forr Duke closed his eyes, a lump of black liquid flowed from his body.

I didn’t know what it was for, but I could tell just by looking at it that it was an unusual item.

It was an item that all 10 affiliated families coveted and eventually held an auction to determine the owner.

There were a total of eight liquids, and Zipron was fortunate enough to win the bid for one of them.

The archduke’s advisor is looking for it himself?

This ans that it is definitely a useful item. It was when greed began to bloom in his heart.

“You react the sa way as Helmut.”

Sylvia spoke as if tossing it and picked up one of the tools.

A small awl with blades standing out here and there, like a sharp thorn tree. Silvia slamd it down on Ziphron’s thigh.

“Ugh…Ugh!”

“What is the answer?”

“That…that! It’s inside my office… inside! So stop… “Stop stirring it, you crazy idiot!”

The feeling of a sharp blade rotating inside my thigh was truly a feeling of pain that would make faint.

Only then did Sylvia loosen her grip.

She imdiately took sothing out of her arms and sprinkled it on Zipron’s thighs.

“W…what is that?”

“It’s a hemostatic agent.”

‘… crazy!’

What is the reason for stopping the bleeding imdiately after cutting a wound?

It ans that if you are wrong, you will cause as much pain as possible.

This guy was truly crazy.

“Second question.”

“Ugh…”

Zipron’s eyes trembled violently.

At this mont, he realized instinctively.

If you don’t give that guy the answer he wants, you will feel the sa pain as before.

“Do you know anything about an organization called the ‘Cult’ that serves the dragon race, or an organization where outstanding wizards gather? “I’m sure he’s visited you at least once.”

The magician who asked the question fiddled with his awl.

I didn’t know when that thing would stab my thigh again.

It was truly insanely scary.

That was when she lifted the awl.

“Wait…wait a minute! thought! “Shouldn’t you give yourself ti to think?”

“I’ll give you one minute.”

Zipron went through the most intense mont of his life.

58 seconds.

59 seconds.

A minute is almost over.

“I…I rembered! Are you talking about those crazy cults?”

“…pseudo?”

“That’s actually….”

Zipron continued speaking urgently. Sylvia began to listen carefully to the story.

After getting the information.

The first place she went to after leaving prison was the Archduke’s office.

“Have you finished your work?”

“yes. “I was able to obtain so interesting information along with the location of the Eight Rings. Do you know about a book called ‘Dragon God Book’?”

“…Dragon God Book?”

“I heard it’s a book containing praise for the Yongin tribe.”

It was an interesting story.
