Regressor of the Fallen Family novel Chapter 67

Chapter 67

The bustling streets and countless crowds visible between the gates of Hwasung were akin to those in the trading city of Kail, no less populous, and in the central region of Harun, no less merchant-filled. Right behind the city gate, the noisy main road seemed to truly showcase that this place was indeed the center of the southwest.

However, what really captured the attention of Logan and the Phereta party was a figure standing at the very front, looking in their direction. Amidst ten knights, each bearing the emblem of a rose blossoming within flamesa symbol of the Bifrost familystood the foremost knight. With striking silver hair, even his irises tarnished with a silvery hue, this middle-aged mans cold demeanor matched his pale skin.

The Knight of Moonlight, Flantz? someone uttered, recognition flashing.

To be greeted by one of the highest-ranking knights personally

Is that the legendary Moonknight himself?

Being one of only two highest-ranking knights possessed by Bifrost and easily recognizable due to his distinctive appearance, most knights could identify him at a glance. His appearance signaled to all that Bifrost placed great importance on the heirs entourage.

Of course, despite the rigid manner of Flantz, which did not seem to be of his own volition, no one protested.

To have one of the strongest warriors of the southwest as their guide was an honor that seemed to humble the knights of the party; even Flonz, who had been red-faced until moments ago, was no exception.

It is an honor to meet you, Sir Flantz.

Pleased to meet you, came the cool response, strikingly different from the eager demeanor they showed when meeting Logan, almost as if they couldnt help but grovel.

Logan, however, barely noticed Flonzs antics, his expression furrowing slightly.

A highest-ranking knight and two superior ones to greet a pair of countryside nobodies this has gone beyond a mere welcomeits practically an intimidation.

Just then, his eyes met with the piercing silver irises that were staring intently at him. Ignoring the blonde head bowing incessantly before him, Logan faced the gaze filled with deep curiosity, not shying away. Seeing Logans unwavering look, the owner of the silver eyes approached him. ƒreewebɳovel.com

If on that side stands Phereta, does this side hold the young master of Maclain?

I am Logan Maclain, Sir Flantz.

How certain. Astonishing. A mid-ranked knight at such an age?

Logans greeting triggered an uproar among those nearby.

What?

The young master himself?

Its not just the sword thats exceptional

Amidst the murmuring crowd, including the Phereta party, Logan clenched his fist with a sense of triumph.

Thats got their attention!

From the rank of superior knights onward, a distinct, sharp aura that could be felt only by those of the same rank or higher was normally evidentan aura that could not be concealed. However, having reached the rank of Post Core Third Star, Logan could now control even those subtle waves of energy. If he chose to hide it, he could appear as inconspicuous as a commoner, something his father found astonishingly clever.

And that was one of the primary reasons he had decided to journey to Bifrost alone.

I can hide my true strength.

Realizing that this could extend even to other highest-ranking knights, he couldnt help but be pleased.

Thank you. I will strive to make a name for myself, worthy of Sir Flantz, albeit in the distant future.

Ho. You should aim higher with that talent. At least to the level of transcendent beings. Anyway, its a pleasure to meet you.

The tone used by Flantz was distinctly warmer than that used toward Flonz, and naturally, this was followed by Flonzs grimace and the audible sighs of his companions.

After a couple of hours of slowly walking through the bustling streets, the party finally entered into the inner city.

Leading the group, Flantz halted in front of a lavish five-story building within the inner city. Although Bifrost was somewhat dismayed to learn that Logan had no attendants accompanying him, fortunately, there was no further trouble.

This is Bifrosts guesthouse. The heirs of Percival and Rufman have already arrived. Until the evening party tomorrow, please rest and wait here.

Im quite impressed by Bifrost Castle. Id love to go out and explore if thats possible?

Certain areas within the inner city are restricted, but with our knights escorting, the rest is certainly accessible. Inform the guesthouse manager.

Understood.

As Logan responded with a smile very different from his initial stiff demeanor, Flonz merely gave a weak nod. Once Flantz nonchalantly turned away, Flonz mumbled,

Coming without even a servant, does he even have proper attire for the party?

Logan paid him no mind and simply asked where his room was, ignoring Flonzs sharpened tone.

Barely worth watching. If these fools represent the heirs and knights, then taking over Phereta at the time of civil strife will hardly be a challenge.

Laughing to himself, Logan turned his back to the Phereta party.

I wonder what the Count will say.

He hadnt brought any party clothes on purpose; he had no intention of walking around without his armor in this place, where anything could happena place warranting endless vigilance since it was an ancient land lost by his ancestors.

* * * The following evening.

Knock, knock.

Its time for the party. Ill escort you to the banquet hall.

When the politely knocking servant saw Logan emerge still in his armor, he looked somewhat taken aback.

Im just a country bumpkin unfamiliar with parties.

With no ready retort for a nobleman self-deprecatingly calling himself rustic, the servant had no choice but to comply.

Presenting Logan Maclain of the Maclain household!

Upon the servants announcement and Logans entrance into the banquet hall, all eyes within turned to him.

My, whats with that armor?

He doesnt know any better, being from the countryside.
