Helmut: The Forsaken Child - Chapter 235

Helmut

Episode 235

‘Where have you ever heard of the name Helmut?’

Michael frowned in the carriage heading to the convention center.

He had a sharp mind. Enough to relive moments that have passed by in a flash.

But nothing in particular came to mind. It was not commoner-like. Even in Rinosa, it was a name that would only be given to a noble person.

Michael tapped his eyebrows and instead of thinking about the name Helmut, he remembered information about the person the name referred to.

‘The skills are very excellent. Black hair, black eyes. Did you say that he has a cold, handsome face and looks like he inherited Linosa’s blood?’

Michael, who had blonde hair and blue eyes, did not like his appearance. It seems to reveal his weakness.

Michael has made good use of his soft and gentle appearance.

A young master who looks like an angel and is kind, but has a sickly and pitiful side.

One of the most powerful emotions that dominate people is compassion.

No one dared sympathize with him, but most people felt heartfelt pity for Michael.

That pitifulness portrayed Michael as a pure and good person.

Michael’s intentions, however impure, were rarely questioned.

That was the biggest weapon Michael had. Naturally arousing caution and liking in others. His intentions being interpreted in a good way.

However, it is also true that his appearance, which allows him to easily get what he wants, is not very suitable for becoming the Grand Duke of Rinosa.

Charlotte had even that. His appearance resembles the Grand Duke of Rinosa.

How about anything? He had something she didn’t have.

Michael bit the tip of his index finger.

Lately, I felt anxious. While he was sick and unable to understand what was going on, his mother focused her attention on Charlotte, who made it to the finals to show off.

As a first-year swordsman undergraduate student, this is an incredible feat.

It was as if she was making a declaration to Michael. No matter how hard you struggle, I have achieved what you could not achieve.

‘it’s annoying.’

Michael, with a childlike expression, thought about Helmut again.

‘I said I was from a commoner. Plus, she looks like Charlotte.’

Maybe he will become a variable. If he is really a collateral of Nosa Rin.

If his incredible swordsmanship catches the eyes of the Grand Duke of Rinosa, how will the Grand Duke accept this new lineage of Rinosa?

It may be an overactive imagination. But it was strangely annoying.

‘Something doesn’t feel right.’

But no matter what Michael thought, the carriage arrived safely at the venue.

Michael glanced towards the other carriage that had already arrived. My mother must have received the message too.

A kind-hearted smile appeared on Michael’s face.

“mother.”

After a while, Michael arrived at the seats reserved for the people of the Grand Duchess and bowed his head towards Grand Duchess Linosa.

First, she sat at the head of the table and her eyes widened.

“Come on Michael. “Are you feeling okay?”

“I recovered enough to come here. “This is a competition I hosted, so I have to wait until the end.”

“I’m worried that you may have overexerted yourself by coming here.”

“More than anything, it’s Charlotte’s game. “It’s worth it.”

“Charlotte saw blood on stage several times. “In my heart, I hope he doesn’t play anymore.”

Michael had hoped for that too. Michael didn’t expect Charlotte to climb up here.

If I had known earlier, I might have committed sabotage.

The achievements she has shown will make her shine when it is revealed that Charlotte is the Grand Duchess of Linosa.

And Michael didn’t want Charlotte to be in the spotlight. He responded, still smiling.

“It would be better to relax and see that we have made it to the finals. “I’m worried about Charlotte, too.”

Michael glanced at the stage. He arrived at the right time.

The two finalists were being led onto the stage. Michael muttered.

“It’ll start soon.”

Charlotte had a stern face. Is it because of the pressure of the final stage?

All you have to do is take one step and you will win. Of course, taking that one step would be close to impossible.

It was a daunting task for Charlotte to get here in the first place.

In that sense, Michael felt relieved by the appearance of a genius named Helmut.

‘Anyway, that’s why Charlotte won’t win.’

Helmut, a second-year student at Greta Academy. It was true that he was strangely bothered by the fact that he ended all his opponents so simply and in vain that it hindered the success of the competition, but he was also developing goodwill.

Michael liked the strong. Because as his chess piece, the strong was always useful.

‘No matter what the outcome of the game is, I’ll have to meet him sometime.’

There may be another plotter, but if you come from a commoner background, it will be difficult to refuse the wealth and honor he offers.

Michael had a talent for making others want what he could give them.

Magritte’s gaze as he looked up at the stage wavered for a moment.

However, she soon opened her mouth in an elegant yet calm voice.

“Charlotte said she wouldn’t win. It looks like the opponent is quite strong. Since he is from the same academy, he should know better.’

“Have you met her separately?”

Michael’s voice was slightly sharp.

Magritte was not even aware of it.

“Yes, I know it was careless. But when I saw that she was hurt, I couldn’t help but go to see her. Fortunately, the rumor did not leak out. “I have taken care of it.”

“That’s a good thing. But that’s unbecoming a mother. “If word gets out that Charlotte is the Grand Duchess of Linosa, she will be exposed to more danger.”

Perhaps a situation will come where Michael himself will have to cause the danger.

If Magritte pays more and more attention to Charlotte and the Archduke of Linosa begins to turn his attention to Charlotte, who has shown results.

Michael’s eyes flashed coldly. But Magritte did not recognize it.

“I know.”

She couldn’t speak, as if she was distracted by something.

Michael’s gaze, which was focused on Charlotte, moved to the boy standing on the stage.

It is not a short distance from the head table to the stage. But the other person’s presence was special.

‘Is that Helmut?’

Michael looked at him carefully.

Helmut was a boy who gave off a threatening feeling that somehow made his opponents nervous. The jet black hair and eyes gave off that feeling.

His face was completely expressionless, and as he stood in a relaxed posture, he felt relaxed, as if he were out for a walk.

A contrast to the very rigid Charlotte. As if he knew he would win.

Everyone who showed that attitude was defeated by Charlotte in this competition.

But I even felt a sense of detachment from the boy named Helmut. To him, participating in competitions seemed like nothing.

‘It’s a face I feel like I’ve seen somewhere before.’

Michael narrowed his eyes. There wasn’t anything that bothered me in my memory, but it felt familiar.

Michael could immediately think of a person who resembled him.

‘Grand Duke Rinosa. ‘Father…’

I’ve heard that he resembles me, but this is surprising. So much so that one could truly suspect Grand Duke Rinosa’s infidelity.

Michael’s gaze captured both Helmut and Charlotte.

The pair of man and woman in one field of view looked exactly alike.

It’s as if they each created one being in the form of a man and a woman.

Not Michael, but as if they were brother and sister.

And it was felt not only by Michael but also by others.

“It’s like… they’re like brother and sister.”

Magritte muttered unconsciously and was startled.

The corners of Michael’s mouth turned up.

“Iknow, right. They look like brother and sister. As if he were Charlotte’s brother and not me.”

As if he were Charlotte’s half-brother.

The place was in a commotion. Everyone suspects the blood relationship between the two.

Even those who know that Charlotte is the Grand Duchess of Linosa.

As the representative of Greta’s swordsmanship department, a person resembling Archduke Rinosa appeared in Latona with the most brilliant appearance. Is this a coincidence?

My mind was focused on that uncertainty.

Michael didn’t like any of the possibilities the other person meant.

But now it was still time to wait and see.

“Sounds like fun.”

Michael’s blue eyes shone coldly.

*

Helmut exhaled lightly. As if the noise all around had no effect on him.

Despite his relaxed appearance, Helmut did not sleep a wink last night.

He tended to fall asleep when he needed to. You have the constitution to be able to sleep wherever you want.

But last night that need didn’t work. Strangely, my heart was pounding. I’m pounding so hard.

The sound of the heartbeat gradually became weaker as the team entered the final stage.

The mind that was lost to the heartbeat becomes clearer.

It was the final stage. And his younger sister Charlotte was right in front of him. In a very rigid state.

She probably wants to avoid losing badly in front of her mother.

He won’t try to lose in one blow like his previous opponent.

However, regardless of her will, it was nearly impossible for Charlotte not to be defeated by a single blow.

Yes, if Helmut doesn’t notice on purpose.

Helmut had a new problem.

‘Should I take a look?’

No one would want the finals to end in vain.

But wouldn’t stubborn Charlotte feel humiliated if she realized that?

Helmut had to decide which was better. There is little time left to make a decision.

Charlotte greeted me in a stern voice.

“It’s an honor to meet my senior.”

“I’ll finish it so you don’t get hurt.”

Because it’s in front of my mother. Even if that wasn’t the case, I had no intention of hurting my sister from the beginning.

Charlotte’s countenance wavered at Helmut’s arrogance, which seemed to be patronizing.

She pursed her lips and placed her hand on the sword handle.

“I also hope that my senior doesn’t get hurt.”

I, too, seemed surprised by the sound that was spat out with such spirit, but Charlotte did not relax her expression. Her face is uncharacteristically angry.

A smile briefly crossed Helmut’s lips.

She is like his younger sister.

Soon the signal rang.
