Regressor of the Fallen Family novel Chapter 81

Chapter 81

Cutoff? How disheartening. What kind of talk is that? The past mistakes of the family are just mistakes, and blood is blood. Considering the amounts of money our Kairos family has supported over the past decade or so, one mistake can be overlooked, cant it?

Im sorry to hear that.

What?

If that mistake wasnt ignoring the kin on the brink of falling off a cliff, that might have sounded more plausible.

At Logans words, Verons face twitched slightly.

He knew it was a stretch from the start, but he didnt expect to be so bluntly reprimanded by his young nephew, not to mention one from a junior generation.

He had thought himself lucky to have naturally started a conversation at the party instead of a one-on-one meeting, reflecting on himself from 30 minutes ago as laughable.

Above all, his anger toward Logan was greater.

You get a bit of fame, and you think you can puff your chest out, huh?

Sure enough, the reckless disposition was there to stay.

But that also meant persuasion would be easy.

Veron calmed his mind with this thought.

That was indeed a fatal mistake by our family. Im late, but Ill formally apologize on behalf of the family.

You are aware its late.

He nearly lashed out at that comment, but since he had come prepared for the worst, retreating wasnt an option.

If you desire an apology, I will do as you wish. What do you want? Its better to reconcile after receiving a reasonable apology than to never see each other again.

Veron showed a blank cheque to Logan, who was continuously prickly.

But

Hmm. Did you really come for an apology? So, if I accept the compensation, you wont say anything else?

Again, faced with a sly reply, Veron unconsciously ground his teeth.

Where do you think youre dispensing medicine?

Logan openly grinned upon seeing Verons face contort.

There must be something Veron regretted, hence these fruitless efforts now.

If you have something else to say besides an apology, I wont accept it. Please return.

Logan drew a firm line with his declaration, but the others reaction was not what he expected.

Help me. Ill grant you everything you want. Let us look towards the future rather than dwelling on past wrongs.

Verons head was almost at a right angle, his voice desperate.

The sight of Veron in total surrender was unexpected for Logan.

Huh?

The Kairos family he knew, especially Simon Kairos, would not do such a thing. They were not ones to regret or reflect on their actions.

And the only heir, Veron Kairos, was known by all to never go against his father.

Then

It must be the will of Simon Kairos superiors.

Logan glanced around the party and noticed Duke Yordan Valtermine and Duke Juan Douglas, the kingdoms only 6-circle wizard and a rival power, throwing a quick glance his way before looking away.

It seemed they wouldnt get involved directly.

Even with the title of the Sword Saints apprentice, to the Dukes, it was just a matter of testing the waters.

Doesnt matter if its Viphros or Kairos, two of the kingdoms three richest men, theyre still played by the Dukes tactics.

This realization hit hard, that even the entanglements his family had made were nothing more than small hills compared to the real mountains they had to overcome.

Then, Ill have to use them for now.

There was something the kingdoms wealthiest families, no, the merchants needed.

That should be enough to firmly support Philip.

Viphros was practically already aiming their dagger.

No ordinary frivolity would win them over easily, but Kairos was a different story.

Hmm. Uncle, theres no need for such excessive courtesy towards your nephew. Well, its not difficult to grant a small family favor, right?

Logans tongue danced lightly, concealing his tremendous greed.

Thank you. Nephew.

Verons face brightened a little in gratitude.

But as the conversation continued in a secluded spot, his face inevitably hardened.

If you do that, meeting the Prince wont be difficult.

Understood.

He had no choice but to nod.

Roger Viphros watched from a distance, his gaze turning icy, but Logan paid it no heed.

Viphros and Kairos.

Even after their entanglement passed, many nobles approached Logan.

However, Logan, finding it tiring to deal with so many people, excused himself using his masters name and carefully declined numerous conversations.

As the complex party time ebbed.

Attention, everyone. Now the most important event of the party will take place. To wish for the noble ladys safe growth, we will have a distinguished person name her. That person is Eh?

Leffman, a retainer of the Esperanza Dukes family and an Honorary Count, was surprised as he read the prepared text and looked back at his lord.

The Sword Saint nodded with a smile, and Leffman called out the name on the script with a somewhat puzzled expression.

The disciple of the Duke. Young Master Logan McLaine. fгeewebnovёl.com

That expression

Why was he, of all people, naming the young lady?

Count Leffman was unable to hide his reluctant expression, unbefitting of a wily noble.

But considering it was out of strong loyalty to his master, it brought a smirk rather than annoyance.

Logan, managing his expression, made his way to the high seats.

Faced with the adorable baby who looked intently at him with big eyes while wrapped in soft silk, his smile naturally broadened.

The baby, born out of overflowing paternal love and having received an Aura Shower instantly, was bursting with vitality, making her even more adorable.

As Logan carefully cradled the baby, she reached out with her tiny hand and grabbed Logans finger wrapped around the swaddle, smiling brightly at him.

Szzt.

Knowing that this action held no meaning and was merely a coincidence, Logans heart still swelled with emotion.

And looking into the babys eyes, shining like bright stars, all the other name candidates he had been pondering disappeared, leaving just one.

The childs name shall be Stella. Its an ancient word meaning star. Ive named her with the hope she becomes a brilliant light that brightens the night sky.

Kyarak!

The babys beaming smile as if pleased with her name, allowed Logan also to smile brightly.

Young Master Logan McLaine has chosen the name Stella. Duke, will you accept this name for the lady?

I will.

The ladys name is decided. Stella Esperanza. Lets all bless the new star of the Esperanza family!

Waaah!

Amidst the cheering and applause, Logan exchanged glances with the baby he held, carefully handing her back to the Duchess.

Her smiling and waving appearance erased all the unpleasant feelings left by the crimson bishops sacred power.

* * * The naming ceremony of Stella Esperanza became an occasion that spread the close relationship between Logan and the Sword Saint throughout the kingdom.

The invitations from those wanting to meet him poured in the day after the ceremony, but by that time, Logan was already preparing to leave the capital.
