Helmut
Episode 329
‘This is.’
A gait with a certain stride length. This is not because I was trained as a prosecutor, but because I was strictly trained in small aspects such as posture and attitude.
More than anything, his vibe. It is impossible for someone who has nothing to show dignity.
If he is neither a swordsman nor a wizard, he is definitely a man of noble status.
Helmut was able to overcome prejudice and guess his identity.
However, I did not understand why he was looking for me among Rodril’s group.
I became alert. The man continued speaking with a calm face.
“I lack sword skills, but I know that your swordsmanship is great. “That’s amazing.”
Since he was in disguise, Helmut’s eyes, which were stained blue, were still as sharp as a cut.
“This is the training ground assigned to my residence.”
Does it matter who the opponent is? Helmut briefly said, “You are an uninvited guest, so stop talking unnecessarily and get out of here.”
The man shrugged his shoulders.
“Other people may come and go.”
“I didn’t hear anything like that.”
“There were no restrictions on my access to this place.”
“Then I’ll go.”
Helmut’s conclusion was clear. He was a weak person who could easily be cut down, but he could feel the presence of knights around him.
After all, someone like this couldn’t have appeared here alone. It may be partly an intention to find fault.
But I had no intention of giving in.
As soon as Helmut turned around with his sword in his belt, a low voice came from the man.
“You are arrogant and rude. “Have you never even thought about who I am?”
What was revealed in that voice was hostility. It’s clear that he didn’t come here with good intentions to begin with.
Why to yourself, leaving the people of Rodril behind? I still don’t understand. I don’t have any contact with the Kingdom of Veneta.
Helmut turned his head backwards and spoke.
“Who you are is none of my business. “Do you know who I am?”
As pointed out, it was an arrogant and rude attitude. The man’s eyebrows twitched. It was when he was about to open his mouth with angry eyes.
“Why are you here?”
A sonorous voice rang out from the other side. A woman appeared, walking towards us hurriedly. Teresa.
A look of frustration appeared on the man’s face.
“How about you?”
“I was taking a last look around to check the convenience of our guests. “That was a good thing.”
Teresa’s eyes narrowed.
“Is there something wrong with Rodril’s guests?”
She pronounced the word rodrill with particular emphasis. It meant not to forget that the other party was Rodril’s group.
The man’s expression hardened.
“No, it’s not like that. “Let’s go now.”
“It’s late, so I’ll come see you tomorrow morning.”
It was as if the relationship between superior and subordinate had been reversed. Speaking in a formal manner, Teresa bowed her head to him politely.
The man left and Teresa stayed behind. She looked intently at Helmut’s face. I’m tired.
“If you don’t have anything to do, I’ll just leave.”
When Helmut turned again, Teresa’s voice rang out from behind him.
“Do you know who I am?”
Why do two people come up in a row and ask me if I know who I am? It was still an unknown Helmut.
But Helmut knew who she was.
I couldn’t remember at first. As I searched through my memories, I remembered that there was a woman named Teresa during my time at Greta Academy.
A senior from the magic department who had a bad relationship with Area. And maybe a woman who showed interest in him. That was rare.
“Teresa Fidelis. “Daughter of Duke Fidelis and the king’s sorceress.”
“I guess it’s not just that.”
Helmut couldn’t help but look back at her.
Teresa was already a few steps closer. Her appearance under the moonlight was alluring.
Unlike the past when she was born as a girl, she looks like a mature woman.
But her approach only made Helmut feel uncomfortable. Especially since you’re in disguise and someone probably won’t like this.
“I don’t know about you.”
“I know that one. Although I’ve never had a bad time. Area is also complacent. You really believe me when I say I’m leaving. “You got this opportunity, right?”
Teresa laughed softly. Immediately after that, Teresa’s expression became serious.
Helmut raised his eyebrows at Teresa’s next words.
“Helmut is alive.”
I’m sure it is. Helmut is not good at lying. Instead of denying, he asked.
“How did know?”
Teresa smiled broadly.
“I saw Area’s reaction.”
Sian and Asuka Area. It would be strange if you didn’t think of Helmut when you saw this composition. But I couldn’t be sure because the appearance was different.
It’s just that Area is not very interested in Teresa, but Teresa is very interested in Area.
There has only been one person that Area has ever reacted so sensitively to. So the answer was obvious.
It was no coincidence that she came here. But I never thought I would meet another person here.
Devis, King of Veneta. It wouldn’t be a trivial reason for him, who is extremely cautious, to move.
In any case, Teresa never reported anything about Helmut to Devis.
It was only today that she found out about his identity, and Teresa had not yet gone to the king. In that case, it was someone else who moved the king.
‘Black Hawk? Because of what they said.’
From my vague memories, I think I heard that Helmut was targeted by Black Hawk during his time at Greta Academy.
Did Black Hawk not forget his grudge from back then and was chasing him? So what if they were tricking the king to get rid of Helmut?
But that was over 4 years ago. Is this an opponent that Helmut would pursue so persistently?
‘At that time, Helmut was just a student. But what if there was something more to him that I didn’t know about?’
A question suddenly arose. Helmut opened his mouth while looking at Teresa.
“…What do you want from me?”
“Well what do I want?”
When Teresa smiled and spoke, Helmut pointed it out directly.
“As you can see, I am dating Area.”
“know. And what’s left of me are memories, not the feelings of that time.”
It was a calm voice. She was saying that I am not Teresa, the senior from the magic department who liked you.
But it wasn’t that there was nothing left. That moved Teresa’s mouth.
“But let me leave you with a piece of advice. His Majesty the King knows about you. I don’t know what you know, but I’m guessing someone has reported on you in some way. That’s not me. So who is it? “What did he say about you?”
Blackhawk. Helmut noticed right away.
Were you already recognized by the Blackhawks? Considering their intelligence power, this is not strange.
“How much does that senior know about me?”
“at all. But you can recognize it. “If that’s what Beneta needs.”
“Are you trying to say that your senior is not on my side?”
Theresa simply faced him with a serene smile.
“No I just wanted to check. I confirmed it, so that’s it. I will never look for you like this again and I will never pretend to know you. “You are from Rodril, and I am the royal wizard from Veneta.”
Teresa turned her back.
“I’ll go.”
For someone who came unexpectedly, he had an obedient attitude. After she left, Helmut took out his sword again and held it.
‘I guess I’ll have to swing a little more.’
Two visitors. King of Veneta and Teresa Fidelis. Teresa didn’t say that the man from earlier was the king, but it was obvious.
To be honest, the former was more of a problem. Helmut had not decided on his whereabouts yet, and he did not want it to be revealed that he had escaped from the Forest of Pahe again in his current state.
Rinosa and the temple know that Helmut was banished to the Forest of Pahe, so his very presence here proves that fact.
If the King of Veneta came all the way here, Black Hawk must have secured quite important information about Helmut. Enough to move him.
‘The question is, do you know what kind of relationship I have with Nosa Rin?’
I had to contact Talon directly to find out.
‘I’ll have to move as soon as Rodril and the King’s business is finished.’
What he found was only a small town called Green Cana, and the world was going by as if it wanted him to take a new step.
One incident after another, old relationships come to him. As if trying to drag him out of the cave.
There were a lot of problems to solve and loans to repay. The important thing is that if you stop at this point, nothing will be solved.
Helmut left his mind to his sword until dawn.
Thoughts that had been blurred like stars hidden by clouds gradually become clearer. Like the tip of his sword.
Even if it becomes cloudy, dark, and wanders again, finding the answer in the end is the path Helmut must take.
After that, it was a trivial and unfair incident that Helmut had to deal with Area’s temper when he honestly told her about Teresa’s visit.
*
Three days after Rodril and his party entered Veneta’s castle, the few days’ reprieve ended.
Teresa promised to be treated kindly, and that promise was fulfilled.
The luxurious life in the Venetian castle was enough to make Rodril melt.
Excellent places to sleep, clothes, meals, hot springs, massages, and even trained attendants.
Anyway, Sian’s mother Terra seemed very satisfied. What mattered most was how she, Rodrile, felt, no matter how anyone else felt.
She, who had lived in a small town called Greencana ever since graduating from Greta Academy, had never been treated like this.
As a spirit wizard, there were few inconveniences in life, but it was still different from what one could enjoy in the royal castle.
Terra even said this.
“This is heaven. Ah, your father and your child, I don’t want to go back.”
‘I think it’s already been appeased?’
Sian was a little worried. His mother would treat him like this, so he thought he would do it if she suggested he get a job as a royal wizard.
It was a point where she began to wonder if she had forgotten her determination to make an example of the king and show Rodril’s power.
Anyway, on the third day, one of the servants delivered it to them.
“There will be an audience with His Majesty the King at noon.”
Now it was time for the decisive battle.
