189 – Scene 189# Hildegard
*
That day, Wendy, who had returned to her original form, confided to me what had happened to her.
Only then did I find out that she used the power of a hero, not magic.
If you think about it, it was predictable.
Without Peter, Wendy had no choice but to be the most powerful candidate for the hero in this world.
She was a warrior’s bloodline and was close to the named characters who could be called the main axis of the story, so the conditions to become a hero were sufficient.
In addition, he had the qualities of a warrior. Didn’t he try to save other students inside Jormungandr’s barrier, and even save my life from falling into hell?
Whether Wendy wants it or not, she will not be able to escape her destiny to become a hero.
I also think she is a character worthy of a warrior. However, I was worried that I would become an obstacle to her reputation.
A hero is a special being who is supported by many people.
Hearing that such a hero is on the side of the notorious Ruelberta family, he may be criticized.
I hope that Wendy will never become a condemned warrior.
“Whoa… .”
I held my head for a moment.
I still can’t organize my thoughts about Wendy.
It wasn’t just the fact that she had used the power of a hero, it was because I had heard of her love affair.
After that night, Wendy would sometimes blush whenever our eyes met. Sometimes I thought of her as she smiled awkwardly and greeted me with her eyes.
Since when was it?
It seemed that Wendy, who had become a mature lady, had the feelings she confided much earlier than I thought.
‘I thought you were a kid who just wanted to fool around with me… .’
I don’t know how to take her shy confession.
no… . It’s safe to say that I’m worried about how to reject the heart that I can’t and shouldn’t receive.
Right now, all I can do is hope that she will change her mind as soon as possible.
smart.
“Count. The carriage is ready.”
Oh right.
Having come to my senses at Helga’s voice, I quickly put on my coat and came out.
From now on, the place I will go is not school.
I had an important appointment today.
In front of the mansion, all the attendants of the Ruelberta family stood to see me off.
I’m used to being treated like this by now.
“… … .”
When I glanced to the side, Helga had a rather spleen expression on her face.
Perhaps he was very nervous about the person he would meet today.
Before getting into the carriage, I spoke to Helga, who was about to follow.
“Hello. You do not accompany me today.”
“Yes!?”
Helga reacted to the sudden notification.
“Why are you telling me not to accompany you?”
“You lack composure. It just interferes with our meeting today.”
“They say I lack composure… ?”
“yes.”
“Please don’t say such sad things. Count. Who else is as calm as me?”
there will be a lot For sure.
“Besides me, who will protect the Count?”
“I will protect you.”
“… under?”
Helga turned her head to where the voice came from and frowned.
“Why are you here? Blanche.”
“Shh. Now it is Blanc, not Blanche.”
Seeing a tall woman wearing a mask of a black dog who appeared out of nowhere, Helga said with a sense of exasperation.
“Oh, yes… ? So what did you come for?”
“That Blanc came here today after being called by the Count. My duty is to escort the Count on your behalf.”
“what… Say?”
“It is as you say.”
I said to Helga, who was frozen on the spot.
“I decided that she was more suitable for today’s meeting, so I called her.”
“that… ! I can’t admit it!”
“Even if you don’t like it, admit it. Normally, you wouldn’t know, but today you won’t be able to stay calm.”
Actually, I didn’t even want to do this.
However, the person he would meet today had a very good chance of touching Helga’s temper.
I didn’t want to ruin the long-awaited meeting with Helga’s runaway, so I took the special measure of taking Blanche instead.
But Helga’s defiance far exceeded my expectations.
“I do not like it! Hate! I don’t want to go without me!”
Helga shouted as she blocked the carriage and stamped her feet.
“Even if I take it off, it’s useless.”
“I hate it! I’m calm! very! Awesome!”
what kind of kid are you
Blanche is next to me, and I feel embarrassed.
I shook my head firmly and said.
“Get out of the way.”
“No!”
Helga lay down in front of the carriage.
“If you’re going to go, you’d better step on me!”
“I get it.”
“Chehehehe?!”
Without hesitation, I stepped on Helga and got into the carriage.
“Excuse me too.”
“Eh?! Who are you to step on!”
As soon as Blanche climbed into the carriage, preparations for departure were over.
I ordered the coachman.
“Go away.”
“Count… . that is… .”
However, the coachman expressed disapproval.
Looking through the window at the front of the carriage, Helga was now lying flat in front of the wheels of the carriage.
“If you’re going to leave without me, you’ll have to hit me with a wagon!”
The appearance of blocking it with the whole body is truly spleen.
However, Helga had a body that was strong enough to survive being run over by a carriage.
If we start like this, it will be the wagon that will be damaged.
“Count… .”
Blanche, who was watching, opened her mouth as if she felt sorry for her.
“How about taking me with you?”
“Hmm… .”
“If she goes berserk, I will subdue her. So I think it would be good to give her at least one chance.”
Certainly, I didn’t expect Helga’s resistance to be this strong.
‘I can’t help it… .’
With a click of the tongue, I said to Helga.
“Hello. Are you sure you won’t go and do something stupid?”
“Sure! If I do something useless, then I will become the Count’s slave instead of the Count’s knight!”
“… Don’t make promises you can’t keep, just ride them.”
“Yes? then…?!”
“I can’t delay any longer because of you. Ride quickly.”
“Ah, yes!”
Helga jumped up with an animated reply.
At this time, there is no puppy other than the mad dog of the Ruelberta family.
Blanche nodded at my action.
“Good job. Count. But where are you going today?”
“Didn’t I tell you beforehand?”
I answered Blanche’s question.
“I am going to meet the head of the Wolfbert family from now on.”
*
The invitation came from the Wolfbert family when the festival was in full swing.
The content was exactly what I expected.
It is that they want to discuss the ownership of the Tangmar area.
Judging from the fact that the answer came so quickly, it seemed that the Wolfbert family also took this issue seriously.
And the Chinese restaurant where the last Chilseong Harmony Association was held was decided as a place to talk openly as Dangju vs. Dangju.
The carriage carrying the three of us stopped in front of a signboard that read Oriental Pearl.
“Welcome to. Count.”
“Well.”
The one who greeted me from the entrance was a young man with a friendly look.
“I am Zhang Liang, the third owner of the Oriental Pearl. I will guide you.”
The restaurant we entered after being guided by Zhang Liang was a replica of a high-end Chinese restaurant in reality.
Like the last time I came, the smell of spices and fried food vibrated from the entrance.
growl-.
A sound I heard out of nowhere.
“oh. Blanche. Are you hungry?”
“Yes?! No, this isn’t me, isn’t it from your boat?!”
“I don’t know what you mean?”
“Don’t pretend! I heard you!”
“Isn’t it? Besides, I told Blanche. Blanc, I didn’t tell you.”
“Ugh… . This insidious… !”
Although she was wearing a mask, it couldn’t cover all of Blanche’s flushed face.
Seeing this, Helga chuckled and laughed.
“Ahahahaha… . It seems the escorts were hungry. I will put more effort into cooking today.”
“So not me!”
“Blanche says he’s asking for a favor. president. hehehe… .”
“Be quite.”
After warning the two bickering people, I arrived at the farthest corner of the room that Zhang Liang led me to.
Kik-.
As soon as the door opened, I immediately remembered. I don’t know if it was intended, but it was the same room where we had the last meeting.
“Have you come? count.”
“…Well?”
Patrick Wolfwert, a muscular young man sitting crookedly at a round table, pretended to know me.
But that’s not why I questioned it.
“Is this your first time meeting like this? count.”
“you… .”
“Oops. look at my mind My introduction is late.”
Sitting next to Patrick was not the head of the family, Gale, but a lady with a relaxed atmosphere.
The moment I saw her smiling at me, I knew who she was.
“My name is Hildegard, the mistress of the Wolfbert family. Nice to meet you. Count Ruelberta.”
