Helmut

Episode 218

‘Senior Helmut… doesn’t seem like a person worthy of belonging to the Black Wing Knights.’

For some reason, Charlotte felt that way. His presence was too strong to belong anywhere.

Michael asked vaguely.

“Who is the most talented representative of Greta Academy?”

But he found the answer in Charlotte’s brief hesitation before she answered.

“Helmutro. That’s great, he comes from a commoner background. Are you saying he has greater skills than his senior year? And I am doing you a favor.”

Michael’s eyes gave off a strange light. Charlotte was inwardly agitated.

Come to think of it, Helmut knows his mother’s maiden name. I don’t know how it connects to this and Michael, but somehow I felt reluctant.

I have a feeling that these two people should be prevented from getting involved as much as possible.

“Maybe you like him as a man? “I mean commoners.”

“no.”

Charlotte cut off firmly. Although nobles and commoners are equal within the academy, this does not apply outside the academy.

It was unreasonable for the Grand Duchess of Linosa to care about commoners.

Even Michael, who wants Charlotte to belittle him, cannot tolerate it.

“Because he is a sincere and talented senior. If you want to be included, do as you wish. “Senior Helmut is beyond reproach as a knight.”

Charlotte answered as fairly as possible. So that Michael doesn’t have any ill feelings toward Helmut because of him.

For Helmut, a commoner, the hostility harbored by Linosa’s successor would be overwhelming.

However, she soon realized that the statement that he was blameless as a knight did not suit Helmut.

Charlotte also heard about how Helmut dealt with the second grader who was arguing with him.

To her, Helmut didn’t seem like the type to be docile or obedient to anyone.

He should not be associated with people like Michael. Michael has a tendency to always get what he wants. There was a high possibility of collision.

Michael lightly shrugged his shoulders.

“Well, talent isn’t found only at Greta Academy. “I will take your words into account.”

Charlotte added firmly.

“Even if His Highness gave you the right to join the Black Wing Knights, it would be for the purpose of protecting you. “I hope you don’t show off like this.”

The reason he sent the Black Wing Knights was to show off the rights he had acquired as a successor to Charlotte.

However, the name of the Black Wing Knights is not light enough to be used for such purposes.

Also, it was unpleasant to be treated in such a way that I couldn’t refuse.

The fact that the Black Wing Knights swarm in and take Charlotte away raises doubts about Charlotte’s identity.

The instructors say they already know, but it will not be easy to dispel the suspicions of other selected members.

Michael said he would hide it, but he did not say he would keep it a secret under any circumstances.

A smile appeared on Michael’s lips. He always had an angelic face, but he had a cold smile that only Charlotte could see.

“It’s my right. you don’t have And I’ll take more in the future. “Things you can’t have.”

“It doesn’t matter to me what you have.”

“It won’t matter, right? When you graduate from Greta Academy, you will have to kneel at my feet. As a vassal of Linosa.”

Michael was blatantly showing his wariness toward Linosa’s successor other than himself.

If he is saying this to gain rank, it means that he has not yet made up his mind to get rid of Charlotte.

If Michael wants to get rid of Charlotte, it would be better to be nice to her and catch her off guard.

But Charlotte did not forget that Michael could point a knife at me at any time.

“If you can, do it. “In a fair way.”

It was true that even my mother didn’t like the way he used it.

Sometimes weakness becomes a weapon. Michael really took advantage of that fact.

Yet, winning everyone’s favor was his great talent.

It surpassed Charlotte’s talent with the sword.

Charlotte’s meal was already over. Michael’s smile, who had not even touched his meal, changed.

He said, looking at Charlotte with mysterious eyes.

“I’m glad to see that you are still the same. See you next.”

He waved his hand lightly. Charlotte left a comment as she stood up.

“You’re still the same.”

Anyway, the moment we get here, we have no choice but to act as Michael intended.

Although she tried to ignore it calmly, it was inevitable for Charlotte to become emotional.

‘No harm will come to Senior Helmut… right?’

Charlotte hoped that Michael would not show interest in him.

Michael will be busy too. His job is to successfully hold a comprehensive swordsmanship competition in Linosa.

The good news was that he wasn’t going to try to cause trouble right away.

*

“Cinus.”

Immediately after sending Charlotte out, Michael opened his mouth and called out to him.

Sinus appeared like a shadow and stood before Michael.

“Please speak.”

“What does Charlotte look like in your eyes?”

“You look the same as before.”

“yes? i think so too. thank god.”

Michael laughed. It was a smile that gave off a pure feeling, unlike the one shown to Charlotte.

Of course, the word purity does not suit Michael.

He tapped his forehead and was deep in thought.

Charlotte hasn’t changed. His non-greedy personality still remains.

Even though I attended the academy, I didn’t become greedy again. I was worried about that.

There was only one greed that Michael was wary of. Greed for the position of successor to Rinosa.

Taking care of Charlotte was important to Michael. Because she is the only competitor who can take away what Michael has.

Michael was more wary of her than Charlotte thought.

If Michael wasn’t there, would there be any disagreement about Charlotte becoming Linosa’s successor?

She had all the health, upright character, and excellent swordsmanship that Michael did not have.

In particular, the former was the reason why the Archduke did not hand over all authority to Michael.

Is he strong enough to support Rinosa? Because I always had doubts about that.

‘It’s better than before, but even so, my body can’t be healthy enough to carry a sword.’

These days, I still get sick about one day a week. But Michael was sure.

‘That doesn’t mean Charlotte can beat me.’

Michael has the upper hand when it comes to getting what he wants.

Charlotte did not even hope to become the successor. I just accept the position if it is given to me.

As long as Charlotte cannot point the sword at this side and disobey her mother, the position of successor belongs to Michael.

Michael had to remind her consistently from now on. That he would become the master of Linosa and that Charlotte would have to assist him.

It was true that Michael was jealous of Charlotte, but it wasn’t that he didn’t think of Charlotte as a brother.

They are twins. His only sister. The bond that has existed since birth cannot be ignored.

Michael’s actions were always calculated. Although sometimes calculation does not apply to actions towards Charlotte. Even those emotional actions and words are because Charlotte is special.

What Michael did not forget was that if Charlotte were his ally, she would be a better sword than anyone else.

A loyal sword that can be trusted more than anyone else. She will be a good knight.

Michael finished his thoughts and asked a question.

“How did you find out? Sinus.”

“This is the list of selectees for each academy.”

Michael accepted the thick document handed over by Sinus. This is a document that has not even secured his appearance.

Actually, knowing this much is amazing. Baden’s academy is particularly thorough in protecting students’ personal information.

After flipping through the documents for a moment, Michael soon looked bored and asked a question.

“Is he among these? Hyde.”

“He is a talented person who deserves to be chosen as the representative of the Academy. But there was no one named Hyde on the list.”

“He participated in Basor’s martial arts club for a purpose. If that’s the case, there’s no need to participate in the general swordsmanship competition. “Even if you have the skills to do so, you are hiding them.”

“He is not skilled enough to learn the sword at the academy.”

It was a voice filled with doubt. If you are the winner of the Basor martial arts competition, it is a skill you need to teach someone, not a skill to be taught by someone.

I can’t help but think that I attend the academy for a purpose. Perhaps it was for the purpose of hiding oneself.

“But I’m attending the academy. And he will stand out to some extent.”

There is no doubt that he is achieving excellent results. Michael felt that Hyde was not the type of person who would shy away from being on top even if he had to hide his skills.

Rather, it felt like he had a personality that could not tolerate being under him.

Could a commoner be that upright? He is a nobleman.

Michael decided that way.

It was thought that he was attending Baden’s academy, but Michael gave orders to thoroughly search all academies just in case.

Sinus has reported his findings.

“From what I can tell, there is no one with the name Hyde in all of the academy who is similar to him.”

“I guess so. Because he must have used a pseudonym. Did he use an alias and disguise himself…?”

Michael thought about Hyde. Michael has a hard time letting go of what he feels he wants.

They didn’t neglect to track down Hyde either. Even though he disappeared leaving almost no trace. However, there were some difficulties in the process.

Michael thought about it carefully and nodded.

“I guess because he was in disguise, his traces disappeared so cleanly.”

It is not easy to avoid tracking with that striking appearance. I wouldn’t know if it looked completely different.

“He was using an artifact. “It is most likely an appearance change artifact.”

“Okay, so the question is, did he attend this comprehensive sword fighting competition?”

Michael raised his eyebrows.

“I can recognize him if I see his sword. “No matter what it looks like.”

It is the sword of the sword saint Darian. Haven’t you already eliminated one person because of that? It was just questionable whether Hyde would have brought the sword as is.

“He won’t know Michael is here. So you could have attended instead of avoiding it.”

“I guess so? “I want that too.”

Michael’s eyes narrowed.

“Rather than that, that commoner named Helmut…”
