Helmut: The Forsaken Child - Chapter 233

Helmut
Episode 233
‘That kid put in a lot of effort too.’
I know how amazing it is to be selected for a swordsmanship competition less than a year after entering the academy.
Charlotte has always been a diligent and steadfast child. A smile appeared on Marguerite’s lips.
There is not a single finger that does not hurt after biting it. But not all fingers hurt equally.
There were fingers that hurt less and fingers that hurt more.
To Magritte, Michael was a more sore finger. However, this does not mean that less painful fingers become meaningless.
At this moment, Marguerite was looking at the finger that was less painful.
Her eyes turned to the stage. The two starters were up there. One is Charlotte. And the other one….
“What do you care? Do you have the presence of mind to care about anything else?”
Robin asked sarcastically towards Charlotte, who looked upward.
After Taron was cruelly defeated by Helmut and eliminated, he took on the honor of being a member of the Matesis Academy’s swordsmanship department alone.
He also saw the match between Helmut and Taron.
Helmut’s skills were real. A frighteningly fast and harsh sword. Even if it were Robin himself, it is unlikely that he would have faced a different situation from Taron.
But this girl named Charlotte is different.
Robin decided that Helmut was strange and that the others were all normal.
Although it is said to be excellent, it is not overwhelmingly superior in the swordsmanship competition here.
Among such excellence, it was natural that Robin, a graduate of Matesis Academy, stood out the most.
‘Small body and quick movements. Well, it’s not a common opponent. Besides, the girl who looks pretty and weak must have hurt her nose if she hesitated.
Seeing that I’ve made it this far, it’s not like I don’t have skills, but how can I lose?’
Anyone who has Charlotte in front of them will let down their guard. Robin wasn’t entirely relieved, but he also didn’t put Charlotte in a similar position to himself.
It will teach you clearly. Even if there is one genius, Matesis is ultimately superior to Greta!
Robin said with a grin as if he was confident of victory.
“It is a glorious stage watched by Her Majesty the Grand Duchess of Rinosa. Let’s have a great game together.”
Charlotte finally responded.
“Yes, of course.”
The gaze that had been directed at the Grand Duchess returned to its original position. This is the stage where my mother is watching. My heart fluttered.
Somehow I didn’t feel like I was going to lose. Latona in Linosa was the main stage of Charlotte.
Everything seemed to be on her side. Even the air and wind that blow around here.
Charlotte gripped the handle of her sword. A mind filled with fighting spirit and confidence is rather calm.
I sparred with Helmut this morning. He had claimed it himself.
Helmut was not the type to spar with someone on his own. Because to him, sparring with someone was meaningless.
When asked why he was helping him, Helmut said,
‘Because it would be good for me to have you on stage in the finals.’
He answered.
The meaning of those words cannot be interpreted as helping Charlotte because she was a more formidable opponent than Robin.
For Helmut, he would be a similar opponent to Charlotte or Robin.
Helmut dealt with her at an appropriate level, as if he had lowered his skills significantly.
Even so, it was still difficult to deal with Charlotte.
Charlotte said to Helmut.
‘We will produce good results so that your help will be rewarded.’
She was going to keep her word. Charlotte’s eyes were clearly fixed on the other person.
The game started soon.
Wow!
Excited shouts hit the stage. The game lasted more than 30 minutes. This means that there is not much of a difference in skill level.
When it comes to endurance, Robin seems to have better endurance, but Charlotte’s endurance was just as good.
The close match ended the moment Robin, who was impatient, took action.
Robin’s sword grazed Charlotte’s shoulder. It was an unavoidable blow.
Red blood was splattered on the stage.
A woman suddenly stood up from her seat where the awning was drawn.
My shoulders feel hot and I quickly feel dizzy.
But Charlotte was aiming her sword with sharp eyes like a hawk.
Blood was seen from the other person’s neck. It is a trace of the tip of the sword grazing.
Due to the aftereffects of his injuries, he was almost unable to stop the sword, but succeeded in not killing him.
Also won. myself.
Charlotte’s eyes were so intense that they seemed to pierce at that moment.
Wow! A shout rang out again. Robin looked at Charlotte with a pale, tired face.
His jaw tightened. However, no matter how much resistance he felt, he had no choice but to give in.
Charlotte set a trap, and Robin, who had been patiently discerning the trap from the beginning, eventually lost patience as the match continued.
He attacked Charlotte’s shoulder and gave her his own neck in return.
“You need to get treatment quickly.”
The attendant came up with a worried look and guided Charlotte along with simple first aid.
Charlotte raised her head for a moment and looked in the direction where her mother was, then followed him down the stage. I felt relieved.
she did it In front of my mother. In front of everyone, even though they don’t know that she is the Grand Princess of Rinosa.
In this way, Charlotte was confirmed to advance to the finals of the Academy Comprehensive Swordsmanship Competition.
Before Helmut. Helmut, who was watching the stage from the audience, narrowed his eyes.
‘In the end, you will face Charlotte.’
The irony of confronting your younger sister in front of your mother. However, the reason he helped Charlotte was because he wanted this.
I hoped Charlotte would make it to the finals. Because my mother would want that too.
There was also another calculation. What would my mother think of when she saw a pair of men and women who looked just like each other standing with swords pointed at each other?
Looking at an older boy who resembles Charlotte, wouldn’t she be reminded of her lost son?
Perhaps Michael will also appear there. Even if the interest is relatively focused on the senior games, it is a different story when it comes to the finals.
‘Will Michael recognize me?’
Helmut thought that was highly likely.
If his generosity toward Michael was due to his instinctive attraction to blood relatives, Michael may have felt the same way toward Helmut.
It’s not just because of the desire for a skilled swordsman.
If he feels Hyde when he sees Helmut, Michael will be able to immediately connect Helmut and Hyde.
He was a smart guy, but he wasn’t only smart. Michael felt intuitive.
However, even if he felt drawn to his flesh and blood, if he found out that Helmut was really his blood relative, he would not be able to accept it happily.
It is inevitable that Helmut appears in front of Michael.
However, I thought that he would also get a strange feeling when he saw Helmut, who resembled not only his mother, but also Charlotte.
Wouldn’t Michael discover something in his intuition that he didn’t know?
Michael is his mother’s favorite child, so wouldn’t he know the truth that Charlotte doesn’t?
If you are aware of the existence of your stillborn brother, if you suspect his survival and are investigating.
‘I have to face it first.’
There are now the semifinals and finals. Only after completing the finale on a stage bathed in light will Helmut finally face his mother and Michael.
Helmut still had a safer way to go.
If he is eliminated in the semifinals, he will receive relatively less attention.
But I still don’t feel like doing that. Reveal yourself and confront it head on. His determination has not changed.
Helmut stood up. My mother’s side, which seemed to be noisy for a moment, was now quiet.
Grand Duchess Linosa was away. It was obvious where she was headed.
‘The lodging must be in a festive mood.’ The Greta Academy
faculty will be very happy
as the two selected members of Greta Academy will face each other in the finals .
Perhaps this was Helmut’s first and last gift to them.
For some reason, I felt that way.

“The bleeding stopped and the wound healed quickly. Take this medicine. “It will help you gain new weight.”
Charlotte frowned and poured the bitter drug down her throat.
Because I lost a lot of blood, I was anemic. I felt dizzy.
But Charlotte felt good. It rose much higher than he had initially expected. As if luck followed.
Things were going well. Even her mother was looking at Charlotte at least during this competition.
Her worried gaze could be felt even from a distance.
Charlotte’s efforts were being rewarded.
As I was taking a breather, I suddenly felt several people walking towards me.
Soon the door to Charlotte’s treatment room opened. An elegant blonde lady was standing there. With a white face.
“Her Highness the Grand Duchess! “How could it be in a place like this?”
The people conducting the swordsmanship competition urgently lowered their heads.
Grand Duchess Linosa stepped into the waiting area with graceful but quick steps.
I ran without even thinking, but as I came, my senses gradually came back. Her search for Charlotte is too much. But it could be resolved.
Magritte spoke in a cold tone.
“Have you finished your treatment? “I was so surprised when I saw that my little girl was injured that I ran to her.”
A weak-hearted lady would have been surprised to see that a rare young girl participating in a swordsmanship competition was injured and would have rushed to her.
While tilting their heads, everyone accepted that fact obediently. I thought you were a truly kind person.
“The condition is fine. “I took action, so I will recover soon.”
“okay? “Thank goodness.”
Grand Duchess Linosa looked at Charlotte with emotion-suppressed eyes and commanded.
“I want to talk to this kid, so everyone please leave.”
“Yes, Her Majesty the Grand Duchess.”
When everyone had taken their seats, only Marguerite and Charlotte remained.
