Chapter 126 Regressor of the Fallen Family Chapter 126 Honestly, Logan didnt know much about Romaine von Grandia, the second prince. All he remembered was that the second prince had received even worse reviews than his brother, the first prince Luther, who was later called a tyrant who had ruined the nation due to his qualities as a dark sovereign. Apart from that, Logan only recalled the princes arrogant nod at the Grandia Noblesse or his angry pointing and shouting at his brother. Well, thats enough to know about his character. Beyond his character, Logan hadnt realized until now how foolish the second prince could be. Did you really expect that by kneeling now, I would welcome you and acknowledge you were right? Youre nothing but bats, only clinging to the winning side! Winning side? Who? Logan was dumbfounded by the princes lack of awareness of the current situation and couldnt help but shake his head. Fortunately, when he looked up, he noticed most of the nobles behind the foolish prince were looking down at the ground or up in the sky, seemingly embarrassed by the princes words. At least, not all the leadership was as foolish as he was. Prince, your baron would have understood by now. Ill take it from here. Hmm, fine, Duke. I am tired, I shall retire for now. Had he done anything at all? From his first word to his exit, every single bit of the prince was shockingly foolish. And it wasnt until the prince had completely vanished into the castle that a real, substantial conversation took place.e to our cause. It is an honor, Sir. You certainly have better manners than your son. My son has manners as well. Really? It seems not. Yordans skeptical gaze was not far away. Logan faced off against Roger Bifrost, and Yordan addressed him. Its been a while, Count. Astonishing, truly. Isnt this a good situation? Havent you been saying that our southwest should unite? Now it has finally happened. Crack. And are you so free with your words now Ah. Are those gentlemen behind you Jeff Percival, the baron, and Derek Luffman, the baron? Pleased to meet you. But may I ask, as unpleasant as it is to inquire on first meeting, where do you plan to attach yourself after the war? You little! Ahh, still with a powerful voice. Glad to see youre in good health. Roger Bifrosts body was trembling as if he would explode at any moment. And Logan silently cheered (?) for him. Initially, he had only meant to provoke, but the counts reaction was swift, almost as if his patience had evaporated. Maybe even a little move like this could hook him? Come on! Dont hold back! Logan was confident that even if the count attempted any trickery, he could cut him down before anything happened. If the count struck first, there would be no one to blame for his death. After all, there would be no pleasure in keeping an enemy at his back, even if they were temporarily on the same side. However, his expectations vanished when the man with silver hair intervened. Sir, please restrain yourself. Being near filth only brings smell. Logan inwardly clicked his tongue at Franzs ghost-like gaze sweeping over him. Tch, too bad. Fine. Lets see how things go. As Roger Bifrost regained his composure and turned away, Logan caught sight of Aslan pointing at himself and then making a throat-slitting gesture. Logan could only smile wryly and turn away when suddenly, the gray-haired giant who had been at a distance approached him. Yikes! That startled me! Logan was inwardly shocked by the mans silent approach but outwardly smiled calmly. Its been a while, Duke. Hmm? Have we actually met before? We saw each other from a distance at the naming ceremony of my masters child. Ah, yes, that was the case. If I had known things would turn out this way, I wouldve made an effort to meet you then. Dont you think? One never knows how things might turn out in life, but I do share the sentiment. Ha ha. As for seeking us out now, what has you thinking? The baron told me to ask you since youre practically the leader of McLaine now The gray-haired giants brown eyes snaked over Logan. An interesting proposal. I accept. What? Even Yordan, who proposed it, was surprised. The nobles observing were equally perplexed. Is there anything else I need to know? No, thats all. If you understand, then plan the details on your own. Understood. With no real plan in mind, Logan concealed his thoughts and left. * * * If he had refused, we wouldve dispersed their army and taken away their command. We needed a legitimate reason to get our hands on those weapons of theirs. I understand. If theyd even refused that, I was planning to send them to the front lines. If they didnt want to plan or disperse, Id have no choice but to give them a position on the front. I was assuming as much. But to immediately agree and leave? Does he really intend to carry out that ridiculous plan? He didnt seem that stupid. The man is anything but stupid. Indeed. So, what do you think his plan is? Duke Yordans question hung in the air, and Roger Bifrost hesitated to respond hastily. How to account for the man who had so shockingly taken his lands? Then: Hes confident. The annoyingly blunt owner of the voice interjected. Lucen? Theres no need to overcomplicate it. If someone readily agrees to a tactical suicide without argument, theyre either a fool or confident, and that young man is clearly no fool. Hes confident he can flank and hit from the rear in full view of the first princes army? Its a difficult task, even for me, leading my knights. Thats because if you, Sir, took action, the enemies would also be doing their utmost to counter. But its different for them. At Lucens words, Yordan nodded slightly, but it didnt dispel all his doubts. Still, I wont just sit back and watch. At minimum, Id send at least 5,000 from one count, even if it cost my main army. Even if its a bit risky. Yes, I also would. So would the enemies likely think, and so would he. So that is to say? It boils down to the same conclusion. He must be confident that he can trample over at least one counts army. Unless he plans to defect straight to the enemy. At Lucens calm words, Roger interjected. Nonsense! Even with little time I couldve easily crushed them! How could this? Logically, thats correct. Even considering their weapon you mentioned. Pointless talk! As Lucen Talos looked at the raving Roger Bifrost, he clicked his tongue. Roger, I understand your frustration with the young man, but why cant you keep your calm? Unless hes an absolute buffoon, then the confidence he displays should make sense. We only need to observe. Right. In that formation, even if they betray us, they cant cause us much harm. The Duke agreed with Lucens opinion. If he is just a fool, then he will at least inflict some damage on the enemy and a fool from our side will be gone. If hes not a fool, he must have some kind of plan and will bring us results. Ironically, it was Roger Bifrost who had the highest opinion of Logan, finding it hard to believe Logan would be a fool. And yet, he couldnt accept the possibility that in such a short time theyd amassed a force capable of surpassing his own might. Caught between his boiling rage and his cold logic, the former count could do nothing but brood silently until he was once again taunted. Personally, I hope youre not the real fool who was played by a supposed fool.
