Helmut

Episode 237

“Helmut I knew you could do it!”

“Well done Helmut!”

“Charlotte, you did a great job too.”

“I’m proud, you are the honor of Greta Academy!”

As soon as I got off the stage, congratulations poured in.

The Greta Academy faculty members who remained until the end rushed forward.

When the results of the Leon game come out tomorrow, they will also be free.

Prior to this, very solid results were achieved as a swordsmanship department. Almost to the top. Nilsman, who was eliminated early, will not be able to survive.

Instructor Alan asked.

“Yes, Helmut. “How do you feel?”

“My impressions are… I don’t know.”

Helmut was extremely calm.

Even if Basor’s martial arts finals had been held and he had won on the spot, his reaction would have been the same.

“He’s a boring guy. “It’s the awards ceremony soon.”

Instructor Patricia tapped his shoulder and passed by. Amid the commotion around him, Helmut thought calmly.

‘This is what happened in the end.’

won the championship. From now on, everything started. Charlotte’s face was just bright.

She seemed to have relaxed after the competition.

This is Latonago in Linosa and her hometown.

Although the semester is over, Charlotte is already in Linosa, so she can enjoy her vacation without losing time.

As of today, Charlotte will return to her position as Grand Duchess of Linosa.

After the vacation is over, I will return to Greta Academy as Charlotte, the first year student in the swordsmanship department.

Soon the staff came running and shouted.

“The awards ceremony will be held. “You two, please come up on stage!”

Helmut walked out with Charlotte amid applause from the faculty.

Helmut, the winner, and Charlotte, the runner-up.

The awards ceremony takes place on stage. And as the award ceremony progresses,

the tension rises as if a battle is imminent.

It feels dizzy and my stomach tightens to think that I’m just about to fight.

I’m more familiar with the tension that arises from battle. Heavy walking is something Helmut is not used to.

Charlotte’s face, who followed, also hardened for some reason.

There was already one person standing on the stage. Knights dressed in black follow behind them.

He is a member of the Black Wing Knights. Helmut’s gaze turned to the figure there.

Someone said to Helmut:

“This is Grand Duke Rinosa.”

I was dazzled by the pouring sunlight.

Standing there was a small boy with blond hair and wearing a white robe.

She has an angelic face and looks as pretty as a girl. However, Helmut knows how cold the boy with the good-natured smile is.

Even if all he showed Helmut was kindness.

Little has changed. Since I had shared a room with him before, Michael’s appearance seemed familiar even after seeing it for a long time.

‘No, maybe it wasn’t unfamiliar from the beginning.’

Helmut was not happy about the situation where his younger brother might become his enemy.

Michael’s eyes narrowed. He came forward and stood in front of Helmut. His eyes softened.

“Haven’t we seen each other before?”

“well.”

A voice falling indifferently pierced my ears. Michael’s eyes brightened.

He stared at Helmut intently. As if it would penetrate into the flesh inside the skin.

“But why am I familiar with you?”

Helmut did not answer. Michael took a step closer to him. It was a familiar look.

A cold and indifferent gaze. Even though the colors are different, you can feel the essence in their eyes.

The magic changed Helmut’s appearance, but it did not change his skeleton.

A character drawn by slightly modifying Helmut’s face. Michael was able to picture that picture perfectly in his mind.

However, this caused confusion for Michael.

This is because the Hyde Michael knew was not a commoner, and he was not expected to have received Linosa’s bloodline.

And I had no idea it would turn out this way.

It was not an easy task for anyone to change their impression of an ally whom they strangely had a crush on. The same thing happened to Michael.

But Michael soon composed himself and smiled coolly. A low whisper reached Helmut.

“This is really surprising. “I was looking for you, and you appeared in front of me like this.”

He turned away from Helmut without a second thought.

As if there was no need to check further. Just as we are sure that Helmut is Hyde. It was confidence in his own vision.

Michael walked as if slipping and stood in front of Charlotte.

Charlotte stared at Michael with a stern face.

If he opened his mouth and told everyone that she was the Grand Princess of Rinosa…

But Michael did not act as she worried.

“Congratulations on being runner-up. “Charlotte.”

Michael’s voice was polite. It was different from the gentle way I called her Charlotte.

It seemed like he was going to keep his promise.

Charlotte nodded.

“yes.”

Michael didn’t say anything more and just stood there with a strangely cold attitude.

His gaze focused on Charlotte and Helmut. The two met at Greta Academy.

Is this really a coincidence? Maybe Charlotte knows something.

Michael frowned in confusion as he had a premonition that something unknown to him was happening.

It was an unpleasant feeling for someone who wanted to have everything in his hands.

“Grand Duchess Linosa is here to present the awards to the winner and runners-up!”

The host shouted loudly again.

Originally, Michael was supposed to be the one to present the award, but Grand Duchess Linosa was present.

In that case, there is no reason for her to proceed.

By the end of the game, she had already asked Michael’s understanding.

Because I had to see it up close and personal like this.

An elegant blonde lady stepped onto the stage. The maids and knights followed right behind her.

When Magritte came up on stage, cheers poured out from the audience.

She was gentle and dignified, truly a woman worthy of being the wife of a leader who ruled a country.

Magritte accepted the medal and approached Helmut.

So close that only he could hear her whisper.

Reflecting the light from her hand was a winner’s medal with the symbol of the Academy Swordsmanship Competition and the black wings, the symbol of Rinosa.

But Helmut felt no emotion from it.

But this moment was truly overwhelming.

The look in her eyes was calm.

Helmut felt it. That his memories were lifted up and existed before his eyes.

A feeling as if a dead life was revived and soaring.

That’s how it feels when something you risk your life to pursue comes true.

Helmut was the first to realize it.

You can place a medal on the winner and offer words of encouragement.

Magritte opened his mouth.

“Helmut.”

It was soft and gentle. There was little change from the voice in Helmut’s memories.

Helmut pieced together the pieces of memory one by one. Magritte’s presence before my eyes made it possible.

“yes.”

“It’s a name that’s somehow unfamiliar to me.”

Magritte slowly hung the medal around his neck. It was a graceful movement without any sense of agitation.

I couldn’t even touch my fingertips.

But her eyes wavered.

As if the desire to speak and the desire not to speak are clashing.

“You look like someone I know.”

“Who is that?”

Helmut asked. He too was conflicted between what he wanted to say and what he felt he should not say.

I wanted to immediately take the pendant out of my pocket and ask if you knew what it was.

I wanted to ask you if you knew who I was.

I wanted to let you know that I was alive and that I had grown up and returned from the forest of Pahe.

It was the first desire I had felt since meeting Darian in the Forest of Pahe.

But all those words burned hot like fire in the back of my throat.

Marguerite tilted his head and answered calmly.

“He’s already been forgotten. I buried that person too. But…”

Magritte frowned.

“It’s strange, but Helmut reminds me of him. “As if the dead had come back from the grave.”

It was a story that would make anyone suspicious of Grand Duchess Linosa’s former romantic relationship. It’s just that Helmut resembles Archduke Rinosa so much that he doesn’t raise such suspicions.

Magritte opened his mouth again.

“Did you say you were the top 2nd year student at Greta Academy?”

“Yes, I am close with Charlotte.”

Helmut spoke as if he knew that Charlotte was the Grand Duchess of Linosa.

Marguerite smiled with faint eyes.

“Are you going to stay in Latona?”

“I’d like to do that for a while.”

It was like a tailored conversation. As if a secret agreement had been reached somewhere.

“Then it would be better to move your residence. As a perk for the winner, I get to stay at the palace. It would be nice to have dinner with Charlotte. “He’s that kid’s senior.”

“It would be a great honor if you would do so.”

Helmut spoke with a firm, business-like tone. It was so as not to show the turbulence that was brewing in me.

Marguerite whispered affectionately.

“I saw great skills. I’m also grateful that you saved Charlotte from getting hurt. With the authority of the Grand Duchess, I promise to treat Helmut as an honored guest as the winner of the comprehensive swordsmanship competition.”

“thank you.”

After finishing what he had to say, Marguerite turned away from him. Applause poured in.

Helmut then stared intently at Charlotte as she placed a medal around her neck.

Unlike Michael, who was certain that Helmut was Hyde, Magritte was not certain that Helmut was his child.

But that premonition will move her.

At first I heard a voice.

“Charlotte, you are truly amazing. I’m proud of you. “I can’t believe I came this far despite only being a first year student.”

“What. “Now I can go back to the palace.”

“Okay, let’s go back and rest. Say hello to your group.”

“Ah, what did you talk about with Senior Helmut?”

“They said they were willing to stay in Latona, so they offered to give me a place to live in the palace. “I will treat him like an honored guest.”

“Oh yes.”

Charlotte glanced at Helmut suspiciously.

There were still unresolved questions.

How did Helmut know the name Marguerite Irein?

But Charlotte didn’t know if that was a big deal.

Today is the end of the competition and it is a day to enjoy.

‘If you are going to stay at the palace, you should ask slowly.’

Charlotte looked away from him.
