Regressor of the Fallen Family novel Chapter 225

Chapter 225

Just three days ago, I heard the news about the revolt, but I never knew waiting for this period would be so agonizing. Logan McLain.”

From atop the throne, the king lifted his cup of alcohol, his face briefly contorted with madness. The knights of McLain surrounding him paid no attention to anything but Logan. With a stern complexion, Logan walked slowly forward, surrounded by their gazes.

Step by step.

He stopped right before the king and looked straight into his blue eyes. The eyes were bloodshot but unshaken, not like those of a man intoxicated.

That sparked the question.

“…Why did you do such a thing, Your Majesty?”

Without hiding the murderous intent brewing within him, though maintaining a courteous demeanor, Logan spoke. If the king wasn’t intoxicated…

‘Then it’s an even bigger problem if he did this in a sober state.’

“Your Majesty? You still honor me with such a title even in this predicament. What an honor.”

The king faced Logan’s murderous intention squarely, his expression pale but sneering nonetheless. An act truly impossible for someone dependent on drugs. Logan’s expression hardened even more.

“…Without such incidents, you could have continued to be addressed that way.”

“Indeed, if I had just obeyed you like a puppet.”

“It’s for the sake of the country.”

“The country? More like for your own sake. Don’t make excuses.”

“Do you really think they are just excuses?”

Logan’s tone was calm but firm, his eyes red and burning with resolve. The king’s complexion paled further in confrontation.

“But…the king gritted his teeth and raised his voice.”

“Wielding the excuse of the nation’s good while the vassal holds all the power and won’t let go? Ha, do you know what history calls such people? People like you are…”

His face, previously pale, turned red with rage and he glared at Logan before continuing.

“…called traitors!”

Taken aback by the king’s unexpected accusation, Logan faltered, but the king shouted once more.

“Or should I call you a tyrant, Logan McLain? Ambitious enough to kill me and declare yourself king! Ha ha ha!”

Despair and madness were evident in the king’s laughter. Yet, Logan remained steadfast.

“A tyrant… The true tyrant is a king who incites war simply because he finds his vassal displeasing.”

Had the king been incapacitated by drugs to the point of irrationality, Logan would have considered confining him while sparing his life.

But if not…

*Shing.*
