Found it, finally (5)
‘Theo Ragnar, the illegitimate son who played a leading role in bringing down the Third Lady and the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency… … That’s a very plausible topic of conversation. Julius, that guy is very smart.’
There was a black lark flapping its wings vigorously and flying across the sky.
‘Since there is an issue of fairness with the other members of the Baekgap Yonggi Unit, I can’t give you much support, but I will put Theo at the center of all conversations from now on… … By doing so, I will virtually select Theo, who is aiming for the position of Baekgap Yonggi Unit captain, as my successor… … That is probably what I want to say.’
So, he growls at her to stop drooling over his own child.
Because both the Black Dragon and the Plum Princess, who can be considered his sworn brothers, are showing extreme interest in Theo.
‘I’m going to be even more upset knowing that my big brother will call me separately after this is over.’
After the four sworn brothers took control of the family.
Their relationship began to drift apart little by little as they each did their best at their respective duties.
It’s not that my heart has grown distant.
Because our feelings for each other were still the same.
But it wasn’t intimate.
We became awkward.
It was difficult to laugh and drink with each other without worrying about anything like before.
Because just having them all together shook Winterla, the North, the Empire, and the world.
however,
‘He started gathering us little by little, knowingly or unknowingly.’
Julius and Princess Plum are getting closer again, and the black dragon has stepped into it.
Kyle, as Kyle, began to take an interest in Theo.
A point of contact has been made.
I still harbor distrust and resentment toward the regressor in one corner of my heart.
Even so, this alone was already a huge advancement.
‘So Theo. No, nephew.’
The black lark, which had already arrived at its destination, was enveloped in a halo of light.
‘Please don’t make the wrong choice and cause me to have to cut you down with my own hands.’
Flash!
A black dragon wearing a mask appeared in the place where the black lark had disappeared and landed on the ground.
Paralock-
With the sound of the collar fluttering in the wind,
Chew!
The agents of Cleve and Black Snow who had been waiting all bowed their heads.
The black dragon nodded silently and looked down the cliff.
A shabby-looking cabin.
It was a safe used by the Central Intelligence Agency.

“The Director of the Central Intelligence Agency is over there?”
“Yes. First of all, we have successfully summoned him under the pretext of carrying out a secret operation against Ma Hae with the cooperation of Ranke. The Director of the Central Intelligence Agency is currently aware that the head of the Ranke family is coming.”
“What troops did you bring with you?”
“I am Agent Twenty, First Class.”
“I guess there are a lot of things to worry about. They came out wrapped up in a bundle.”
Ps …
The black dragon let out a sneer.
If you were to say that they were first-class agents of the Central Intelligence Agency, they would all be elites comprised of senior prosecutors.
In other striking units, they are all equivalent to the rank of captain or higher.
So, this is a part where you can see how much Ed Troyban cares about protecting his own safety,
It was also clear that this suppression would not be easy at all.
But as a black dragon, it didn’t matter.
Srrrrung-
In the end, they were nothing more than parasites that had to be completely eliminated.
“Go.”
As soon as the Black Dragon’s command was given,
Phew!
The agents all threw themselves off the cliff.
* * *
Tadak-
Theo and Erica, Evelyn and Hazel were quickly crossing Winterer.
Behind them were twenty troops attached to the Baek Gap Yong Gi-dae and thirty troops supported by the Maehwa Palace.
All of them are over fifty years old.
Moreover, Ragnar’s banner was fluttering above their heads.
It means an executor who carries out the orders of the household.
Naturally, the residents of Winterer couldn’t help but be shocked.
-Wh, what is it? What the heck is going on?
-That, that’s right. Seeing you running so urgently, it seems like there’s a problem… … .
-Baek Gap-yong-gi-dae, Plum Blossom Palace… … What the heck is going on?
-Hey, is there a rebellion?
-Hey, you! You bastard! How dare you say such unlucky things!
-Ah, sorry. I was short-sighted.
The word rebellion was almost taboo in Winterer.
Whenever there was a rebellion, the winds of blood always blew from the north.
Whether it succeeded or failed.

But because Theo and his group’s momentum was so fierce, everyone was busy opening the way.
The inspectors who witnessed them also returned to their respective units and were busy reporting on the incident.
‘Um, uh… when should I tell you…? I don’t think this is the right time to talk about it… ‘
Meanwhile, Holkus glanced at Theo’s back as he raised the flag and sighed.
It was obvious to him that Theo’s fame was skyrocketing.
Now it’s time to start laying the groundwork for acceptance, but there just isn’t any time to do that.
It was difficult to speak rashly to someone with such a serious expression.
“This time, I failed. Let’s postpone it until next time, you foolish bear. If you say something strange today, it’ll only ruin the mood, right?”
Erica clicked her tongue and sent a message after reading Holkus’ thoughts.
“Why the atmosphere?”
“You still don’t know what happened between Theo and Axion, that bastard?”
“It just wasn’t good… … That’s it? The third wife is upset because Theo killed Axion.”
“Oh my, you really don’t know anything. How can you become a swordsman like that? Tsk tsk.”
“Ah, sir. Stop hesitating and speak properly.”
“Wash your ears and listen carefully. What did the third lady, no, that woman, do to Theo and his mother… …”
Erica told him everything Axion had done to Theo in the past.
In an instant, Holkus’ face turned bright red with anger.
“Are those kids crazy? They’re running around with human faces and doing stuff like that?”
“Yes. Even though Theo was an illegitimate child, that was the reason why the family was prejudiced against him. Madame Cecilia was treated like a fox.”
“ Available, this dog should have kicked the gross crash! ”
After muttering for a while, Holkus became curious and asked Erica.
“But how do you know this, Sister? You’ve only been practicing closed-door training until now?”
“Little brother, stupid little brother, it is said that anyone who wants to wear a crown must bear its weight.”
“What are you talking about? How much does that weigh? Does it break at least?”
「… … Anyway, I can’t have a conversation with that idiot. A conversation. Ugh.」
Erica gave up on talking to her dumb little brother who had a brain full of muscles.
What she wanted was not simply the position of head of the Ranke family.
-Establishing the Ranke clan as the best in the North, no, the best in the world.
If that doesn’t work out, Erica’s ambition might be to assist in the process.
Naturally, finding out more about Theo, who would be on the same boat for a while, was also part of the plan.
At first, it was to gauge Theo’s capacity.
After learning all about his past, my thoughts completely changed.
‘My eyes were not wrong. Theo is the companion I will walk with for the rest of my life.’
It was not a concept of reason.
It meant someone you could stand shoulder to shoulder with and trust your back to.

‘Whether it was intentional or not, Theo’s name will be engraved heavily on the place where the Third Lady and the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency were brought down. So, of course, I should be next to them.’
That was also why he warned Holkus not to act rashly.
“Anyway, for now, it’s enough for us to just stay by her side. Don’t try to comfort her in a clumsy way and break her labor pains.”
“Am I an idiot? I already knew that much.”
“You’re worrying more because you’re stupid, little brother.”
“Ah, sir!”
Holkus felt wronged by Erica, but said nothing more.
For now, it was enough for her to just stay by Theo’s side, as she said.
Then, before they knew it, the group arrived at the Rose Palace, the residence of the third lady.
Theo’s eyes sank deeply.
A place that was so familiar to him, having stayed there for decades throughout his previous life.
I came here to get it back.
“All the executors.”
Theo raised the flag high.
As per Julius’ orders, he was the current commander.
“Catch the rebels.”
At that moment, all the elite soldiers of Baek Gap-yong-gi-dae and Mae-hwa-gung moved.
Pfft!
Wedge-
They tried to become rays of light and jump over the wall, and the Erica siblings took the lead and unleashed their magical power to blow away the main gate in one fell swoop.
Kwaaaaang!
As the main gate was shattered, fifty elite soldiers poured in at once.
-What, what is this…?
-Ra, Ragnar! It’s Ragnar’s flag!
-Why are you here… …!
-Gyaaaah!
While the maids and servants staying in the palace were shocked and in shock,
“Find the rebel Emil Troyban! Anyone who resists or is uncooperative may be shot!”
Evelyn’s afterlife shook the palace.
-Bar, rebel… …?
-What did the third lady… …!
A group of people blocked the way for the suppression force, which was trying to disperse from the first to the third floor.
It was Second Vice-Minister Morgan and his subordinates who were assigned to watch over Edgar Emil.
“What the hell is this! This is the residence of the three ladies and the palace where the harem of the head of the household resides! Behave yourself… …!”
Morgan couldn’t speak for long.

Suddenly, a sharp wind blew into my throat.
Kyaaaaang!
Morgan flicked it away hastily and took a couple of steps back.
Evelyn growled with fierce eyes.
“I thought you said that anyone who supports the Third Lady will be treated as a rebel? Oh, and the Central Intelligence Agency also participated in the rebellion, so it doesn’t make any difference?”
“what……!”
For a moment, Morgan’s eyes wavered.
‘What the…? Where did our information come from?’
It was true that Ed and the Central Intelligence Agency had long dreamed of a great undertaking as Troyban’s hidden sword.
But they never once thought of it as a ‘rebellion’.
I just thought I was correcting what was wrong.
I just thought I was putting everything back in its rightful place.
So I prepared everything slowly… … .
Where on earth did it come from?
‘No way… … Black Dragon, that author followed us?’
If there was anything to point out, that was it.
Because Ed and the Black Dragon have been at odds for a very long time.
My head was spinning.
There is only one thought that comes to mind right away.
‘Director! The director is in danger!’
Only safety for Ed, who was away at the request of the Ranke family.
“I won’t listen to any excuses. Your defense won’t work. The charges already laid against you will not be taken into consideration.”
Wedge-
Evelyn didn’t care what Morgan thought.
The cold wind blew again and drove Morgan away.
Chachachachachang!
Morgan’s hands and feet became dizzy.
“Agents of the Intelligence Service, protect the third lady! Protect the third lady with your lives!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions were heard everywhere.
It wasn’t gunpowder or anything like that.
A sound that triggers potential.
It was a backflow explosion.
They are all trying to block the suppression force by burning their lives.
“For Troyvan-!”
Advertisements
“For the truth-!”
Kwarung, kwarung, kwarung-
There was a lot of blackness and blackness.
As the conflict between those who want to suppress and those who want to resist grows,
Thud, thud!
Theo crossed the battlefield with a stooped stride, his flag held high.
Erica and Holkus flanked him, pushing away or deflecting any agents that came at them.
None of them were people that a mere trainee could easily deal with, but they were still given strength by a sense of duty to protect the flag and to help Theo get revenge.
‘Even if Emil hides, there aren’t many places he can hide.’
Theo knew the structure of the Rose Palace better than anyone in the world.
So, Emil knew exactly where to use it.
bang!
I opened the first door and went in.
‘Not here either.’
bang!
‘Not here either.’
Kwaaang-
‘It’s not here either.’
As he climbed up to the third floor, the places Theo passed by were soon covered in blood.
‘Then there’s only one place left.’
Theo stood before the last door.
Top floor.
This was the room where Cecilia originally stayed.
Kwaaang!
Theo kicked the door hard, causing it to shatter, revealing its interior.
There, among the trembling maids and butlers,
There was a picture of Emil smiling brightly while holding a photo of Axion.
“Baby, my baby… … Are you hungry? Yes, yes. Just wait a little longer. This mother will soon prepare a delicious meal. You liked the mushroom soup, didn’t you? Your maternal family just sent you some really good mushrooms.”
‘You’re crazy.’
Do you want to escape from reality?
Emil already seemed to be out of his mind.
Even though I met Theo, whom I hated so much, I didn’t even glance at him.
Just that.
Was it really true that my mother suffered such humiliation from someone who was only this good?
Theo swung his sword.

Squeak-
Emil’s severed head rolled limply on the floor.
Degururur… … .
Looking at that sight,
Theo closed his eyes quietly.
A variety of emotions swirled in my chest.
How the bastard of the Return Sword Family lives
