I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 27
#When it returned, the family was ruined (27)
By defining the nature of the work in this way, the author, the king, became unable to complain even if the affiliates were eaten up one by one.
In a way, it was Delprion who helped him.
Of course, he sent this letter because he never dreamed that he would devour the Baron overnight.
‘If I had known, I would have tried to intervene at all costs.’
That’s why he moved just in time for his letter to arrive to the king. Sёarᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
“I received good help.”
“Of course, we should help you with this.”
“Are the items selling well?”
“yes. In the case of the herbal potion that the Archduke taught us about, we don’t have it so we can’t sell it. So…”
Jayron looked at Ethan and got to the point.
“How about entrusting the Marquis of Bessus to sell these items directly?”
“Hmm.”
I expected something like this to happen. Would you want to sell the goose that lays the golden eggs only at such a small scale?
Of course, the main store would also want to sell it.
Ethan asked a question, pretending not to know.
“I heard that the performance of the current management is important in order to gain a lot of authority after becoming a small family owner?”
“you’re right. It was like that originally. But my father showed great interest in this product.”
“What about performance?”
“He said that if I give him the recipe for the product, he will credit me with about 20% of the family’s sales. “This is something that all the vassals agreed to.”
When selling 100 pieces at the top of Misas, if it were the size of a marquis, it could have sold 10,000 pieces.
In that sense, it was much more beneficial for J-Lon to measure performance in this way.
“Is it possible for families to intervene like this after independence?”
“This is a very unusual situation. Usually, the family does not intervene. “It’s something that has never happened in at least the last hundred years.”
“I guess the Marquis was in a hurry.”
“Haha… what merchant would want to miss out on a product like this? That means the herbal potion is amazing.”
“I will accept the offer as long as my profits are guaranteed.”
Half of net profit.
I had no intention of giving this up.
Jayron quickly nodded at those words.
“of course. “This is something my father readily agreed to, so that part will be handled very neatly.”
We continue to receive excellent products from Bessus Marquis.
J-Lon can achieve solid performance worthy of being upgraded to a small-cap stock.
Ethan had a structure where he made a lot of money.
As long as you don’t get too greedy, it’s a perfect deal with nothing to lose for all three.
There was no reason to refuse.
“I agree.”
“All right. Then, let’s rewrite the contract. “I have received the family seal.”
A new contract has been drawn up.
The contract being carried out this time was a transaction in which Marquis Bessus and Ethan were the main players. After adjusting a few things, we hit the ground running right away.
‘The amount issue will be resolved quickly.’
If you leave it to the Misas merchant, the profit will drop by about three platinum coins every month.
But what about Marquis Bessus?
It wasn’t strange that instead of three platinum coins, there were three hundred.
Because the Marquis was one of the top families in charge of imports and exports from the Kingdom of Heidern.
If we do well, we will be able to distribute herbal potions to other countries as well.
“Please take care of me.”
“yes. “We will do our best to sell it.”
Currently, the Archduke only has one Baron Kargath, but it seemed to Jayron that he would not stop there.
‘He is a person who can compete with the 10 clans.’
What if he really becomes a duke in the future?
The Marquis of Bessus will also be able to fly into the sky together.
A person who looks forward to tomorrow more than today. That was the Archduke.

After completing the transaction.
Ethan and Sylvia moved toward the third floor of the dungeon.
The three knights, including the knight commander, Manhattan, jumped up from their seats.
“…Are you here, Grand Duke?”
“Is the job of warden worth doing?”
“….”
Manhattan trembled at Ethan’s question. Three days have passed since the Baron and his two sons were imprisoned in the dungeon.
The first day passed quietly, but I couldn’t help but gape at the sight I encountered on the second day.
A man who introduced himself as the Archduke’s tactician came down and cut off all of their limbs and veins without hesitation.
As if that wasn’t enough, they started using all kinds of torture to extract all information about the Baron.
There was no end to the torture of the treacherous man, as if he had a personal grudge against him. Such behavior was not something that could have occurred simply because the archduke asked him to dig up information.
So I asked the reason and was able to get an answer.
Excessive tax revenue of the Barony.
Because of that, the entire family starved to death.
The way he answered so calmly made me feel even more sad.
Whether commoner or noble.
How could the sadness of losing a loved one be different?
Only then did Manhattan begin to understand why Lawrence had acted so cruelly.
Moreover, since the archduke completely agreed to digging up information, he could not stop it.
In any case, it was he who was controlling Baron right now.
“…Grand Duke. Are you really letting the rest of the family live?”
“I think so.”
Ethan nodded.
People related to Baron were now sorting them out one by one and gathering information about them. Most of them would be driven out with their family assets confiscated, but it was intended that some would remain in the family.
This is because if everyone was sent out, the work itself would inevitably become paralyzed.
In any case, in terms of saving his life, it was no different from keeping his word to Manhattan.
At those words, the knights, including Manhattan, breathed a sigh of relief.
The reason they had been obediently guarding the prison until now was to save the lives of everyone except the Baron and his two sons.
If they had really planned to kill all of Baron’s personnel, they would have had no choice but to draw their swords.
The minimum duty of a knight.
To protect it.
‘Then he must have died.’
Even if the remaining ten knights rushed in, it was doubtful whether they would even be able to hurt the archduke.
Of course I didn’t want to fight.
In that sense, the Archduke’s answer could be said to be truly fortunate.
“Starting today, you will return to being the knight commander instead of the prison guard.”
“yes?”
“Do you want to stay here forever?”
“That’s not true, but…”
“Whether you are here or not, the three guys in prison will die.”
“….”
Manhattan became mute. When the Baron and the Archduke had a confrontation, I heard the whole story on the spot. Clearly, the Baron’s response went far beyond the line.
Abolishing the Mana Hall and imprisoning him in a dungeon meant turning the Archduke into an idiot so that he could only breathe.
‘The person who took everything away even tried to kill himself.’
Even if he were in the position of the archduke, he would never spare the baron.
“…All right. “Then can I return to work now?”
“okay.”
The knights quietly left the dungeon. Now, only Lawrence and Ethan were left.
“egg plant.”
“yes.”
Two people entered the interior of the third floor. A prison filled with all kinds of vicious criminals.
Among them, three people were spread out in the room located in the deepest part of the room.
“Loyalty…loyalty!”
One of the soldiers guarding the prison shouted a salute in surprise.
“Give me the keys and leave.”
“yes!”
Sigh.
I opened the door next to the iron bars. The Baron and his two sons, who were shaking like insects, looked at the door.
“How are you?”
“Ouch… Archduke! Save me…please save me! “I guess I went crazy for a moment… for a moment!”
The Baron saw Ethan and started shaking like crazy.
Then Helmut found Lawrence standing behind him and screamed.
From yesterday to today.
A devil-like human being who has been subject to endless, vicious torture!
I couldn’t help but feel a sense of fear. Ethan said while looking at the Baron.
“I heard from the agent that there is information you are hiding until the last moment.”
I heard that they are keeping their mouths shut about what they are hiding.
The reason Ethan came to see the Baron was to drive the final wedge into him.
“What…what are you talking about! Where can you find such a thing! “All I know is that everything was blown!”
“Do you think reinforcements will come if we wait and hold on for some time?”
“….”
“no. No one will save you and your two sons. “Even the king has already abandoned you.”
Ethan opened a letter.
The king’s seal was stamped there. That was definitely not a fake.
Helmut, who read the letter, was astonished.
‘It’s housework!’
As long as the nature of the matter is defined this way, even the Seven Kingdoms will remain silent on this incident.
The only person who could save him was now the leader of the faction, Count Chayman.
“I…I think Count Chayman will stay quiet if you kill me!”
“What if I don’t stay still?”
“….”
“Would you choose to collide with me to save someone who has already lost all his sweet water?”
It wasn’t.
Wasn’t he the one who had given instructions to stick to the Archduke just a few days ago?
Chaiman was a ruthless nobleman who would mercilessly abandon members of the same faction if they did not benefit him.
“…Do you think that if you kill me, the Archduke will be able to take over the Barony?”
“Your children did a good job farming. “My eldest son was very cooperative.”
“….”
Helmut’s vision became distant.
The eldest son Rayman’s temperament was enough to give in to that man.
There was absolutely no hole to escape through.
“Don’t you want to die comfortably?”
“….”
“If you reveal the information you are hiding, I promise to cut off your head with a single sword in front of the guillotine.”
“…What if it doesn’t blow?”
“You continue to be tortured with your limbs and veins cut off. “If you go beyond your limit, you’ll go crazy.”
Hearing Ethan’s words, Helmut’s eyes slowly turned red.
‘…it was a mistake.’
Everything from underestimating the Archduke’s power to giving extreme instructions while dealing with him.
‘…It’s all my fault.’
After taking charge of the Senate.
The nature of my actions, which I had been thinking about very carefully, changed little by little due to the influx of wealth and power.
His nature became arrogant, he stopped thinking about his failures, and he forgot the past.
A family that is merciful to its people, but can be crueler than anyone else to its enemies.
I had completely forgotten that the Duke of Ardan was such a family.
Helmut didn’t know how to turn back time.
“I’ll tell you everything… everything. So… my two sons… please allow me to go in peace for the last time… I ask you, Grand Duke….”
The information that was kept hidden until the end despite being pushed like this would have been quite valuable.
Ethan looked at Sylvia.
“I’m fine. “Your Majesty.”
She nodded willingly.
It was with his permission that he was able to cut off the limbs and veins of the Baron and his two sons.
If the Archduke hadn’t given him the chance, he wouldn’t have been able to get even a little revenge.
So how can there be dissatisfaction?
‘For my personal greed.’
It was impossible to interfere with the Archduke’s choice. Soon Ethan looked at Helmut.
“I promise.”
“…There are four floors in the dungeon. There are items I have secretly collected there. There… there are also… the previous Duke’s… mementos…”
“…!”
Ethan’s eyes widened at the information that came out of Helmut’s mouth.
