I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 9

＃When I returned, my family was ruined (9)

‘Memory crystal sphere.’

It was one of the magic items.

The effect was as the name suggests.

By using mana stones, scenes could be saved for a certain period of time.

A crystal ball stored with all kinds of jewels.

Just looking at it, it was a smelly item.

“Mana stone.”

“Please wait a moment!”

Hans

“What happened today?”

“no.”

“Anyway, that bastard Helmut must be in big trouble. Because one of our sources of income has been completely destroyed. You will probably feel quite sick when handing over the subsidy. “Hehe.”

I can’t believe I have to cough up support money to the guy who cut open the stomach of a goose that was spitting out golden eggs.

The moment the news that the red scorpion had been killed was delivered to the baron, it could be said that he slept all that day.

Three people left the building.

* * *

When I returned in the afternoon.

I was able to meet Elena who was waiting in front of the front door.

Elena glanced at Myers. The clothes he was wearing were tattered, and the bandage hanging on his side was bleeding.

“What about Ethan?”

“My brother said he had to go somewhere for a while. “It will probably come soon.”

“Have you gone out for training?”

“huh!”

Myers responded animatedly.

“Were the results good?”

“of course!”

“okay. “Wash up quickly.”

“Then I’ll take a shower!”

The conversation between the two was very calm.

Hans gaped at the sight.

Grand duchess.

Usually, I was a weak woman who couldn’t even properly say what I needed to say.

How could she show such a resolute attitude even though her younger brother came back from being beaten to death somewhere?

‘Did people change overnight?’

I couldn’t help but tilt my head.

But I soon found out that wasn’t the case. Because despite her resolute attitude and words and actions, her pupils were fluttering.

The reason she shows a different attitude than before…

‘I guess it’s because of the Archduke.’

Ten years.

During those years, it was Elena who lived in the room where the Grand Duke lay all day.

The Grand Duchess certainly seemed to have high expectations for her eldest son.

“Chief Chamberlain.”

“yes. “Grand Duchess.”

“What happened today?”

“I went out for practical training.”

“Practical training?”

There is no need to hide this much. Hans nodded.

“yes. I visited Beros Village with my youngest son, Confucius. There, I got into a fight with the red scorpions.”

“As for the Red Scorpions… aren’t they quite a famous group? I heard it’s Baron Helmut’s source of funds…”

“Yes. That’s how I know it. So we invaded their base and conducted training. “The wounds on the youngest Confucius’ body also occurred at that time.”

“okay.”

“The youngest Confucius was amazing, but what was truly amazing was the dignity the Archduke showed today.”

“Ethan?”

“yes. The sight of mana blooming from his hands felt like… flames. Even Yurdan, the leader of the Red Scorpions, could not withstand Ethan’s repeated attacks for less than a minute.”

“Flames…?”

“yes. “It was clear.”

Elena was shocked.

Mana like fire.

No matter how minimal it was, it was a look that could only be shown if one had mastered the family’s advanced skills.

‘Ethan.’

She had tears in her eyes.

After the mana explosion occurred.

I thought that the body of my younger brother, whom I trusted and depended on, was completely broken.

But no.

Because controlling mana meant that he had overcome mana overflow.

Elena was relieved.

She wiped away her tears and looked at Hans.

“…Then how will Baron Helmut respond?”

“well. “Any Baron I know would probably wait for the results from the council of elders.”

When news of the Red Scorpion spread, Ethan would realize that he was not formidable.

Mana handling wasn’t enough, and even Wirdan, who rolled and rolled in real combat, was able to turn him into an asshole in just one minute.

Baron Helmut was a timid man. If I felt like I was in danger, I wouldn’t necessarily make the first move.

“I think they will at least show active action only after receiving support from other collaterals… but to put it bluntly, one baron alone will not be able to control the Archduke, who has immunity.”

“okay.”

“So don’t worry too much. “The Archduke is becoming stronger faster than anyone else.”

In Hans’ view, the Archduke was truly the goose that laid golden eggs.

Moreover, he had a broad mind.

This was a fact that could be seen just by looking at all the jewelry handed over today.

‘Rather than a petty Helmut… the Archduke is much better.’

This was also the reason why his heart was focused more on the archduke rather than the collateral.

* * *

“Baron! “It’s urgent!”

The old butler opened the door and came in without even knocking.

Helmut tilted his head.

The head deacon was a person who showed a calm demeanor in everything. If it was something that would embarrass him like that, it wouldn’t be a small incident.

“What on earth is going on?”

“It is said that the red scorpion was completely destroyed. Wirdan became a complete idiot, and everyone else had their limbs broken…”

“What?”

The Baron widened his eyes.

Who would dare to eliminate the group under his protection in the Barony of Kargath?

In addition, the Red Scorpion was one of the important organizations that generated cash flow in its territory.

This is an organization that cannot disappear in an instant like this.

bang!

The Baron slammed the desk.

“What kind of bastard are you?”

“That… is called the Archduke.”

“what?”

“The Archduke… It is said that Wirdan’s mana hole was completely blown out.”

“Holy shit!”

The Baron threw his flag in all directions.

Because he had immunity, he was a person who could not be punished by the laws of the territory.

“How on earth did that idiot get a red scorpion… damn it! shit!”

It’s something I couldn’t even imagine.

That made me even more angry.

However, you can’t assassinate him.

Duke of Ardan.

It was a family like war heroes, treated as a kind of guardian deity by the people.

Killing a descendant of such a prestigious family?

The killing itself was possible even with the power of the Baron.

The problem was the aftercare.

A descendant of a great hero died in his own land. No matter who killed him, he would not be able to avoid responsibility.

‘…Other collaterals will also try to cut off the tail somehow.’

It was obvious that they would treat him like a scapegoat, passing all responsibility on Baron Kargath.

‘Assassination is not allowed.’

At least it wasn’t something I could choose right now. Since it was something that had to be done with the family’s life and death at stake, we couldn’t just rush to the death of everyone just because it was a little annoying.

Helmut’s head quickly cooled.

“Hey… Baron.”

“Something else.”

“Well… a letter has arrived from Hans.”

“Give it to me.”

The Baron tore the outer pages of the letter. As he read the contents, his face began to turn more and more red.

“What a crazy guy! “You want me to support you with 100 gold coins?”

One gold coin is enough for a commoner’s family to survive for a month.

One hundred gold coins was not an amount that even a baron could afford to spend without any burden.

“shit! shit!”

However, we couldn’t not provide support. There was a need for at least one watchful eye that could observe the Archduke’s every move from up close.

“…What should I do? “Looking at the items requested, I think we’ll need that much money.”

“Damn it! send! And check thoroughly! Is this bastard inflating the price?”

Helmut frowned.

It was a really fucking bad day.
