Helmut: The Forsaken Child Chapter 219

Helmut

Episode 219

“There isn’t much information about him. Black hair, black eyes, a cold and unapproachable look. Transferred to second year and won top honors. He is a boy sponsored by an instructor and is said to be quite respected at Greta Academy.

His whereabouts before joining the academy are unknown. I don’t even know who I studied swordsmanship with. “The biggest unique thing about him is that he is very handsome.”

What flashed through Michael’s mind for a moment was the presence of Hyde.

Hyde is also very handsome. In fact, if she had that kind of looks, she would be causing a stir both inside and outside the academy. It would be a different story if she were in disguise.

Michael shook his head.

‘Helmut is a commoner.’

His judgment would not have been wrong.

Hyde was too upright to be a commoner. A commoner cannot have that kind of character.

No matter how strong you are. Commoners must learn obedience to nobles from birth throughout their lives.

Consciousness cultivated since childhood is not easily overcome.

Hyde maintained his upright attitude even though he knew that Michael was not an ordinary nobleman.

“Charlotte is quite a difficult character. Because he has a rigid personality, he cannot tolerate things that are unfair or unreasonable. “She needs to keep an eye out if she’s acknowledging him.”

We are classmates at the same academy. Although they are in different grades, their friendship can be strong.

So, will Helmut be Charlotte’s weakness? Michael quickly shook his head.

Maybe it can be so. Even if it wasn’t just between a man and a woman, Charlotte would never be able to get over the idea of ​​someone in the same academy being harmed because of her.

But there is no reason to provoke Charlotte like that yet.

Because he doesn’t want to make Charlotte pick up a sword.

Michael concluded simply.

“Would you like to visit the Greta Academy group? “If you want, I will make room for you.”

“I am hosting the competition in Linosa. If that fact becomes known, it could raise questions about the fairness of the competition, so we can’t do that. Let me tell you, I have no intention of watching from afar. I’m not that free. The only time I’ll see Helmut is at a convention. “There is still plenty of time.”

Michael smiled as he thought about the stage ahead.

It is a mission entrusted to him by the Grand Duke. It was a test as a successor.

The reason Michael received the rights to the Black Wing Knights was not only because of his mother’s request, but also because he was hosting a competition.

I don’t think Charlotte, who is only a first year student, will be able to show anything great in a sword fighting competition.

All he had to do was to successfully carry out the task given by the Archduke. To successfully conduct a swordsmanship competition.

‘I have an unknown premonition.’

But the premonition will definitely benefit him. Michael was sure.

Although they had not yet reached the capital of Rinosa, the Greta Academy group entered a luxurious mansion.

Just like in the mansions of great nobles, everything from chandeliers to wallpaper and furniture are items that only the owner would use sparingly.

Linosa is a wealthy country. This treatment will not be a burden to them.

However, considering that the opponent was not a delegation but a group from Greta Academy who had come to compete, it was a bit excessive.

The party, most of whom were nobles, accepted the luxury without burden, but were aware of its excessiveness.

“Let everyone rest!”

After the faculty left, only the students remained.

“This is a luxury that is difficult to enjoy at Greta Academy.”

Nils muttered before entering the room. The only person he could talk to was Helmut.

Charlotte had not returned yet and Leon had remained silent ever since the day he sparred with Helmut, so he quickly left as soon as the professor left.

As if it was dangerous to even be in the same place as Helmut without the faculty.

“is that so.”

Helmut answered indifferently. He somehow thought that the interior of the mansion was dazzling.

Ethan Kudrow’s mansion is not shabby, but its splendor is extraordinary.

Especially things like furniture decorated with gold leaf and jewels. Each room seen through the open door was similarly ornate.

“Maybe it’s because of Charlotte? When you arrive, you will be treated similarly to everyone else, but this mansion… … This may not be available to everyone.

Of course, I don’t know if this is how they usually treat participants in comprehensive sword fighting competitions, but there aren’t many mansions like this. “No matter how rich Rinosa is, it doesn’t matter.”

There was no way that accommodations like this would have been prepared as compensation for taking away students from Greta Academy.

It was thanks to Charlotte that they were able to rest in a lodging like this. Because we are part of Charlotte’s group. Because I can’t give Charlotte special treatment.

They say this is the villa of the Grand Duke of Rinosa.

“What on earth is Charlotte doing if the Archduke gives her a villa?”

“well.”

There was a place I could guess. But I’m just not sure.

Nils continued speaking persistently.

“He seemed a bit close to you. I heard that her first and second graders used to spar with her, so they must have come into contact with her a lot. Have you heard anything about her?”

“Charlotte strictly follows the academy’s policies.”

“So you’re saying you didn’t reveal your identity?”

“All I know is that she’s from Linosa.”

“The Black Wing Knights under the Archduke will not come to visit an ordinary noble girl from Rinosa. What she will meet is that she will at least be a member of the Archduke’s family. A direct descendant of the archduke, perhaps even an archduke. “Only at that level will we be able to move the Black Wing Knights.”

“I guess so.”

“Why do you want to see Charlotte at the Grand Duchy of Linosa? Grand Duke Rinosa… … How old are you? From what I heard, he’s about your age.”

Nils had heard rumors about Michael.

They say he is the successor to the extremely intelligent and beautiful but sickly Rinosa.

Nils suddenly thought of a wrong guess.

‘This suggests that Charlotte could be the fiancée of the Grand Duke of Rinosa.’

To that extent, such preferential treatment is not strange. The Linosa family is also famous for its swordsmanship.

Having a prestigious knight order called the Black Wing Knights means striving for nothing.

A noble girl as talented as Charlotte could support the weak Archduchess Linosa.

Helmut focused his attention elsewhere.

“There is an archduke in Linosa.”

If it had been known that there was an archduchess, if there had been an archduchess, that fact would also have been known.

So Charlotte is not the Grand Duchess of Linosa? There was some confusion.

Helmut had previously thought that Charlotte was the Grand Duchess of Linosa.

“I think I heard that somewhere too. In fact, not much is known about the Grand Duchy of Rinosa. The people of the Linosa family are close to the royal family. They only interact with high-ranking nobles, and their birth and other personal details are kept secret. Especially since Rinosa is far from the empire. Even people from the empire know almost nothing.”

There are many people in the academy from the empire. But among them, not a single one knew anything about Charlotte.

Information about the direct lineage of the Grand Duchy of Rinosa was close to secret. Even the nobles from Rinosa don’t know much about it.

In particular, Charlotte’s existence was unknown because she neglected social activities.

Michael, who is actively active internationally, is only known.

Most nobles tended to interact with each other for social purposes.

But that also differed for each noble. Even if they were nobles, there were many cases where young children or daughters before they came of age and debuted in the social world did not show their faces outside the family.

Its existence is rarely known except to people from other families with whom it interacts directly.

Needless to say, Rinosa, who had royal blood, was a closed family.

Linosa was a secret principality. They cracked down on what was happening inside to make sure it didn’t go outside the walls.

Michael was also sickly and did not know when he would die when he was young, so his existence was only recently made known.

“I don’t know if there’s something wrong with the Grand Duke’s family, but their activities have been particularly quiet since they welcomed a princess from the Empire.”

Nils, who had been speaking with a frown, quickly closed his mouth. This is because he was conscious of the maid passing by.

This was Linosa. If you talk carelessly about the Archduchy, you will be charged with lese majeste.

Helmut listened intently as he spoke about the Grand Duchy of Linosa.

“Charlotte could be a collateral branch of the Archduke’s family. Since Rinosa favors her swordsman, could it be that her Grand Duke took notice of her because of Charlotte’s talents? Even though Asuka refused to participate and came instead, it is not easy for her as a first-year student to defeat a third-year student and be selected as a representative.”

Nils, who was muttering, shook his head.

“no. Forget what I said. “It’s also her academy policy, if she doesn’t want to be revealed, she should be buried.”

Nils, a sixth-grader, showed an adult attitude. Although he was curious in his heart, he thought that he should not try to find out.

Aren’t all the professors keeping silent?

“I will do so.”

Helmut entered the room. It was a time when I felt like I needed to think a little more.

*

Charlotte returned right away that evening.

Coincidentally, everyone was being served a meal together.

The meal was as wonderful as a luxurious mansion.

Enough to soothe a body tired from the journey. Charlotte entered the restaurant and immediately lowered her head.

“I apologize for acting alone.”

“Nothing like that, you have permission.”

“Okay, take a seat.”

Following Instructor Alan, Instructor Patricia smiled in an attitude that was quite comparable to that towards Asuka.

Regardless of the high-handed attitude of the Black Wing Knights, everyone was relaxed by the excellent treatment.

And anyway, didn’t they enter the mansion escorted by the Black Wing Knights?

That too is something that only VIPs can enjoy. If you think positively, you can see things positively.

“It’s a good thing you came from Rinosa. “I wish I could go back and brag.”

Instructor Patricia muttered. Charlotte asked as she looked around and observed the group engrossed in eating.

“Do you like your meal?”

Charlotte, who spoke as if she were the owner, immediately closed her mouth and said, “Oops.”

At Rinosa, her role was to greet guests along with her mother.

Linosa was the land ruled by Charlotte’s family. Here, you don’t have to face anyone from the academy, so you end up making mistakes.

The few Academy students from Linosa had been strongly warned to keep quiet about her.

Although, it seems like it’s leaking in some corner.

Instructor Patricia pretended not to notice anything.

The faculty learned that Charlotte was the Grand Duchess of Linosa.

“Yeah, that’s great. I can’t believe I’ve been treated so kindly by Linosa. Charlotte, won’t you join us?”

Charlotte had already eaten, but nodded. He wanted to be with his group.

She was a swordsman understudy. She could eat as much more as she wanted.
