Regressor of the Fallen Family Chapter 175

Episode 175

“I really can’t believe this town has changed so much.”

A silver-haired beauty was looking around with shining black eyes.

Even her somewhat haggard complexion did not hide her beauty, and everyone who walked through McLane’s official residence was looking back at her at least once.

However, unlike her master, who was somewhat relaxed, the female servant, who was the only companion of hers, could not hide her nervousness.

“Miss, are you sure you’re okay? If something goes wrong…”

“It’s okay. He still hasn’t forgotten me.”

“But we broke off the engagement like that…”

“It’s natural to be confrontational in such a situation. His pride would have been hurt. But I’m sure. That man can’t forget me.”

After the master declared, the attendant could not ask any more questions.

Riina also felt the servant’s distrust, but she was truly confident.

Because she remembered it clearly.

– I didn’t want to throw away the precious moments left in my young heart, the memories I made with Prince Logan in this beautiful and quiet place.

The moment when I acted out my tears.

The man who looked at me with eyes filled with all the emotions in the world.

The reason he had such a strong confrontation with her at the time of breaking off the engagement was probably because he wanted her that much.

Riina thought so.

so.

“Now check again. Do I look a little tired?”

“Yes, Miss. Your makeup and outfit are perfect, just as you prepared them.”

A beauty that makes even an old dress designed to stimulate sympathy look like it was deliberately dressed in an old-fashioned way.

Even in the servant’s eyes, Riina was definitely pretty.

“Yes. We will capture McLane again and build the family.”

To the extent that this confidence does not feel excessive.

Of course, I don’t know if it will really go as she wants.

“Yes, Miss. You will.”

It would not be an illusion to feel that the servant’s voice lacked trust.

But I guess it didn’t matter.

‘Even if I can’t rebuild the family, it will be better for me just to be able to sit in the main house of this family.’

Riina thought like that and made a sad expression again.

From now on, I promise to perform perfectly until the desired conclusion is reached.

* * *

“who?”

“The princess’s former fiancée. Liina Wolves…”

“No, I know her name, but why does she come here?”

“I have something to tell you after seeing Confucius.”

“her?”

A situation that makes you laugh.

Logan recalled a rumor he had recently heard about the Wolves family.

A family that donated all its assets to the royal family, was demoted in title, lost its original land, and was almost exiled to a remote territory.

When he thought about why the eldest daughter of a family that was so cornered would come to visit him, it didn’t seem like it would be a very pleasant meeting.

“It’s okay. Dwayne, you responded appropriately and I’ll just send it back.”

“They say they won’t go back until they see Confucius ‘in person.’”

“what?”

“But that doesn’t mean we can force the noble party to return. I’m a little worried that there will be backlash if we use force for no reason.”

“I’m just forcing myself to respond. Hmm…” I answered

that way, but I had no choice but to agree that there was no need to make unnecessary rumors during a busy time.

“Okay. Let’s go first. Let’s hear what they’re talking about.”

No matter what nonsense they say, just ignore it.

Logan set out to meet his former fiancee with such a light heart.

* * * Kiyi.

When the door to the living room opened, I saw everyone waiting inside getting up all at once.

The one that stands out the most is the woman in the middle.

‘Rina…’

Shiny silver hair that goes down to her waist.

Matching white and transparent skin and eyes as black as obsidian.

Her clear facial features were still beautiful enough to make people exclaim with admiration.

A beauty who evokes a protective instinct that makes you want to embrace even her haggard and shadowy face that has never been seen before.

Her beauty, which made even a plain, plain dress look bright, had the power to attract people’s attention.

‘If you don’t know its identity.’

As Logan smiled and took a step forward, Riina saw him and bowed her head politely.

“It’s been a while, Prince Logan.”

His black eyes were full of sadness, but there was no hesitation in his actions.

Even though he looks pitiful, he doesn’t lose his dignity.

Whether that appearance was real or an act, it felt amazing and Logan couldn’t help but nod.

“I see. It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, princess. But what brought you all the way here? I don’t think there’s any reason for you to come that far.”

The black eyes wavered for a moment at the greeting that was no different from a congratulatory message, but there was no stopping the answer.

“I have come to apologize for my past rudeness and to establish a new relationship between my family and McLane.”

“Hmm, it’s a new relationship. If you were going to say something like that, wouldn’t it have been better for ‘Viscount’ Kyron Wolves to come in person?”

I tried to gently touch the other person’s painful wound, but it seemed like she had expected this too, and this time the answer came out easily.

“My father collapsed after overexerting himself for the sake of the family’s restoration. Nevertheless, I came without stopping him from coming in person, so I would appreciate it if you could understand with a generous heart.”

okay. You probably didn’t want to bow down to an old friend or a friend’s child.

Even Logan understood that much.

“That’s such a shame. But…”

Logan, who didn’t want to drag out the conversation, decided to go a little harder.

“For our McLane, we are in a situation where we don’t need Wolves’ help, even if we don’t have to worry about salvation. I think you are fully aware of this.”

“Yes. Of course I know.”

“Then tell me the conditions.”

“yes?”

“You didn’t mean to just come empty-handed and say something like that, did you?”

Did I not expect that it would get straight to the point?

“Ah… yes yes. That’s right.”

Her black eyes seemed to waver, and she soon began to say the words she had prepared.

“As you know, we Wolves have invested a lot in our family’s lottery. But that doesn’t mean we’ve lost all competitiveness. We…” ”

Please be brief, princess. I’m a bit busy.”

“…I believe that the ‘connections’ as merchants that Wolves have built up over generations are a greater asset than material assets.”

“Hmm. But they probably don’t even have the slightest funds to utilize that great wealth. The current Wolves.”

Words that hit my bones one after another.

‘As expected, the sun is still standing. Put a little more emotion into it…’

Riina, with a sad expression, bit her lip and bowed her head deeply once again.

“So, I have come to ask for your help. Confucius. Please consider our past and help our family just once.”

What percentage of those desperate expressions of emotion are sincere?

Logan unconsciously laughed as he realized that Riina’s every action felt like an act.

‘Do I still have paranoia about this woman? Or is he really acting?’

I couldn’t know and I didn’t really want to know.

“Did you really have to come this far to say that? I know the new territory you received is completely opposite to here, so why didn’t you ask people around you?”

At those words, tears flowed from Riina’s eyes.

She quickly wiped away her tears, as if she was surprised herself.

“…Oh, sorry. I got a little emotional.”

After seeing Logan’s shaking expression, Riina smiled internally but continued speaking sadly.

“Right now, there is no one in this country who can help McLane and the Jin family. So, Mr. Confucius, please think about it one more time.”

Riina’s eyes widened slightly as she noticed that the shaking of her red pupils had become even bigger.

‘Are you sure. ‘This man couldn’t give up on me.’

however.

‘Wow, this girl, I get goosebumps when I see your tears.’

It was true that Logan was shaken, but the reason was the exact opposite of Riina’s expectations.

Tears of beauty.

It was certainly an effective weapon, but now the target was the worst.

Logan unconsciously rubbed his goosebumps on his forearm and let out a small sigh.

“You’re making excuses. Didn’t our relationship end with just breaking off the engagement and exchanging compensation?”

“Just proving that would be a huge help to Wolves. Please, please.”

Riina’s face looked pitiful, as if she was about to shed tears again at any moment.

‘This is how anyone sees me will think I’m a villain.’

I wanted to quickly get rid of that face that kept reminding me of nightmares from my past life.

“But will that really help our Macline?”

Clan vs Clan. In the end, most affairs between nobles were explained by profit, and since we had nothing to gain, they said we should quit.

‘also. It’s not easy, right? But if I bring up marriage right now, I look too cheap. ‘You can’t do that.’

Riina took out another number for preliminary work.

“We, Wolves, are confident that we will bring great profits by selling McLane’s specialty products to the world through our connections.”

Logan’s eyes changed at those words.

“hmm?”

This was a bit unexpected.

I was planning on just ignoring them and sending them back if they offered me a bribe.

“Specialty products? I keep hearing about them.”

“Aren’t McLane’s new weapons, which proved their worth in the civil war, truly McLane’s specialty products? If you entrust them to us at Wolves, we will guarantee you a profit of at least 30 times the original cost.”

“her…?”

“I think this is something that only our Wolves family can do, as it is not limited to just the kingdom, but has a distribution network throughout the eastern part of the continent, including the small kingdom alliance in the east and the empire in the west.”

‘I did something.’

Logan’s interest cooled down immediately.

“I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that. Have a good night, Princess Riina.”

I’m trying to stand up right away.

“Prince Logan! Please listen to me, even if it means considering our old relationship!”

Riina hurriedly came to him and knelt down.

Old relationship?

The only thing that came to mind was anger, so I sighed in bewilderment.

However, Riina seemed to take it completely differently and continued speaking quickly.

“Especially, even if you look at the bomb prototype, it is a consumable item that cannot be reproduced anyway. If you consider it as an expensive product and sell it, we are confident that McLane Estate could become one of the richest people in the world, even outside of the kingdom. Please come back again. Please think about it!”

Her expression looks truly earnest.

But Logan’s answer was the same.

“I have no intention of selling McLane’s weapons, princess.”

He responded coldly and turned away.

‘good. This is enough to make a general suggestion. At this point…’

Riina, with a determined expression, blocked Logan’s path again.

“If you don’t like that, I have a better offer.”

“yes?”

“I will enter into a marriage contract with you, Confucius. By doing so, the two families will gain complete trust and mutual benefit through it. How do you feel?”

A confident expression.

Where had the face that looked like tears would flow at any moment disappeared? Logan was dumbfounded by the expression that seemed certain that he would not be able to refuse his offer.

“I think you must be misunderstanding something. ….”

“Yes?”

“The conditions are worse than before. It doesn’t appeal to me at all. Why am I marrying a princess?”

Riina’s confident face collapsed at that firm answer.

“That… Ah! If it’s because of what happened in the past, I apologize. There was pressure from the Douglas family, so I had no choice! If you want, I can also show you the documents exchanged at the time!”

Logan could only chuckle at that sudden and useless explanation.

“If you have nothing more to say, then that’s enough. Please return safely, princess.”

Riina’s expression completely froze at those words.

Then, just as Logan was about to open the door, he said,

“Now wait a minute! Confucius!”

Riina’s voice rose a notch louder and rang out again.

‘You’re tough. This woman.’

I can’t help but sigh,

“Confucius. Didn’t you really love me?”

“…What?”

Logan looked back with an absurd expression at the unexpected question.

“Ho, if it’s because of your fiancé, I don’t mind being a concubine. As long as Confucius wants me, I can do anything.”

In the end, he had no choice but to respond with a rude laugh as his voice mixed with tears followed by his sad expression.

“Puhahahaha!” Are you

crying again?

You are really amazing.

“Hahahaha. Oh, I’m sorry about this. ha ha ha. no. Ah. hmm. hmm. I’m really sorry for this, but I’m saying this because I’m afraid there may be some misunderstanding. I am not interested in you at all, princess.”

“No, that can’t be possible…”

“It seems there was a big misunderstanding between us. “I can’t keep you waiting for long. Please take a look, princess.”

Logan opened the door and bowed politely. Riina, who had

been looking at him for a while, had no choice but to bite her lip and leave the parlor as if running away.
