Regressor of the Fallen Family novel Chapter 211

Chapter 211

“Your Majesty, you are right about the principle. However, if you wish to show benevolence as a true sovereign, it would be better to exercise mercy.”

Such words were entirely unexpected considering the Sword Duke’s usual nature.

Logan’s previously exasperated gaze suddenly turned towards the Sword Duke.

“Sword Duke, what do you mean by that?”

The king’s expression hardened, as if he had been betrayed by someone he trusted.

‘My master?’

Logan was equally baffled.

Nonetheless, the Sword Duke continued calmly.

“The rebellion has just been quelled. I worry that applying the law too harshly now might lead to further turmoil.”

“Punishing the rebels brings turmoil? What a preposterous notion.”

Despite his rage, the king’s face darkened coldly, but the Sword Duke’s expression did not waver.

“Though the law is sacred, it should be applied to the right targets to be deemed valuable. I urge you to exercise mercy, Your Majesty.”

“Ha, hahaha… Such words…”

As if conflicted and with much to say, the king glanced back and forth between the Sword Duke and Logan.

His expression soon became impassive.

“Well, if you both say so, what can I, powerless as I am, do? I must accept it.”
