They entered the living room and sat on the sofa.

Ethan rubbed his hand between his eyebrows as if he was feeling something close to agony. He opened his mouth after a moment.

“Not long ago, a mother and daughter came to my mansion. “I was really surprised when they mentioned your name.”

“It’s Susan and Sarah.”

“Yes, they are doing well, don’t worry. “I only heard the story roughly from them.”

There was silence for a moment. Helmut asked.

“Where are Susan and Sarah?”

I asked because Elaga was frantically looking for them, looking around with her head.

The white cat’s dynamic movements also caught Ethan’s eyes. The cat was even sitting on Helmut’s lap.

It was strange to see Helmut walking around with a cat.

But Ethan didn’t have the presence of mind to be conscious of that.

“I went to the village to buy things in the morning. There aren’t many things women need in this mansion. They are all healthy. “In particular, that girl, Sarah… her swordsmanship is very outstanding.”

“Because I taught it.”

Ethan Kudrow laughed at the arrogance he calmly revealed.

“Okay then… now I want to hear your story.”

A story that needs to be heard from the person involved, not through someone else. Helmut opened his mouth.

From his mouth, stories flowed from that day four years ago to the present.

A long, heavy, and sometimes even harrowing story.

Ethan Kudrow listened carefully to the story.

“You’ve been through a lot…”

And he quickly added:

“Thank you for persevering.”

Thank you for persevering, surviving, and appearing in front of me.

There was no way Ethan would say something like that if he thought that was just his student, whom he supported because of his debt to Darian.

Even before Susan and Sarah came looking for him, Ethan believed Helmut was alive.

When he first found out that Helmut was missing, he felt deep suspicion.

It was Helmut who appeared out of nowhere. So you can leave. Because it is difficult for him to learn anything more in the swordsmanship department.

But if that were the case, I would have given Ethan a hint when heading to Linosa.

He wasn’t the type of guy to disappear like that without saying a word.

He must have sent a letter later.

Is it possible for a person to disappear cleanly like this? It was something I couldn’t understand at all.

Ethan Kudrow requested Helmut’s whereabouts in the name of Greta Academy in Linosa at the time.

In Linosa, he left and they pretended not to know since then.

Charlotte did the same thing. The reason is that Area demanded that Ethan Kudrow also hide the truth.

Ethan Kudrow has visited Linosa twice since then to inquire about Helmut’s whereabouts.

However, as an instructor at Greta Academy, there were limits to what he could do. You can’t use illegal means.

He ultimately gained no insight into Helmut’s whereabouts.

‘But did you get any other income?’

A memory that suddenly comes to mind. Ethan spoke first before bringing up that memory.

“So what do you plan to do now? “If it’s something you can’t tell me, you don’t have to tell me.”

Ethan Kudrow also understood why Helmut had not told him the truth about his birth sooner.

It was too big a case for him to get caught up in, and there was no guarantee that he would be able to side with Helmut.

Just because he’s Ethan Kudrow doesn’t mean he can put Baden or Greta Academy on the line.

However, as an individual, he may be able to stand on Helmut’s side. He has already decided.

It wasn’t just because he owed his life to Darian.

Listening to Helmut’s story, Ethan felt anger, sadness, and a sense of duty as a prosecutor for something unjust and dishonorable.

That made his decision stand.

“My plan is…”

Helmut briefly told Ethan what he was going to do. Ethan’s expression became cautious after hearing his words.

“It won’t be an easy road.”

“We have already gone through a difficult path.”

“Yes, of course you should do that. That is your right, and it is also your job to prove them wrong.”

A mother abandoning her child and betraying him is a terrible thing, but Rinosa betrayed her benefactor.

Helmut saved the Archduke and the Archduchess. I fought and risked my life to save them, but how could that be possible?

This is an act that betrays humanity and also destroys one’s reputation.

That betrayal wasn’t because of the temple. Maybe it was something I was afraid of.

A being named Helmut. The strength he showed. I’m afraid it will shake up Linosa.

But that decision had nothing to do with the Grand Duke who ruled Linosa.

Ethan opened his mouth softly.

“I visited Linosa twice looking for you. And on that second and last visit I met the Archduke.”

There was an instant change in Helmut and Area’s eyes.

“The Grand Duke of Rinosa….”

“Yes, to be exact, the Grand Duke invited me. “Because he is not someone an academy instructor can meet.”

Father of the Grand Duke of Rinosa. Ruler of Rinosa. Helmut had relatively less of an idea of his father than his mother.

The father was unkind to his children. Neither Charlotte nor Michael respected him or thought of him closely.

In Helmut’s case, even when he was abandoned, there was never a single contact with him.

My father was simply the Grand Duke of Rinosa. It was a being that was only recognized as such.

Ethan Kudrow shook his head slightly.

“The Archduke has taken note of the fact that I am looking for you, who went missing in Rinosa. Why are you looking so hard for one student? I said I was supporting you. Then the Grand Duke asked about you. So I…” Just

as new words were about to come out of his mouth, a loud sound echoed outside. Hee hee hee! The sound of the horses’ hooves was loud.

“Sera! You just have to go slow. “Why are you talking so hastily?”

“Who came? “Is the light on in the living room?”

Susan’s scolding was followed by Sarah’s sharp reasoning. Their voices could be heard vividly even from a distance.

I was no longer in the mood to talk.

Ethan got up first.

“I guess you’re back. “Let’s meet them first.”

Before I knew it, Elaga had jumped off Helmut’s lap and was already running ahead.

I once again wondered whether Elaga thought of the humans he cared for as babies or pets.

Anyway, Helmut also moved along with him. When I went out to the front door, I saw Susan and Sarah unloading luggage from their horses.

Susan was seen chasing Sarah and nagging her.

“Sera! Put it down gently! Then it will break!” “Eh, just do it roughly. “Why doesn’t the string come off like this?”

Then, suddenly, Sarah’s gaze suddenly returned. When she sensed Helmut’s presence, she turned her head and her pupils dilated.

“Helmut!”

Susan also found him belatedly.

“Helmut! How are you here already?”

[You can’t even see me.]

I’m the one who took care of them. Elaga, who was close to the ground, grunted.

He had approached them ahead of Helmut.

“Ah, Lady Elaga! “I can’t get used to that look.”

Sera stretched out her hand and picked Elaga up. In any case, it hadn’t been long enough for Helmut to embrace and enjoy the joy of being reunited, and they weren’t that friendly either.

Elaga meowed. Sarah seemed happy when she scratched her chin.

‘He’s very much a cat now.’

After thinking about it, Helmut looked at Susan and opened his mouth.

“Seems like you were doing well.”

Both her and Serana’s faces brightened. His complexion improved and he looked healthier than when he was in the forest of Pahe, where there was not much light.

Of course, Sarah had always been healthy, so the changes in Susan’s case were more obvious.

“Ah, of course. Instructor Ethan helped me live without any shortcomings. This mansion is a really nice place. Thank you for writing to me. “I thought I’d see you again later, Helmut.”

“I have some business to do in Baden.”

“Sera is still training hard. “I am very motivated to achieve better grades than Helmut at Greta Academy.”

‘That’s impossible.’

At Greta Academy, Helmut was the head of the swordsmanship department.

Senior is first place. There is no grade better than first place.

Helmut did not bother to point out that fact.

Susan smiled brightly at Helmut.

“Anyway, I’m glad to see you again.”

Then, she was somewhat startled when she saw Area walking out from behind her.

Area gave a brief greeting.

“hello.”

“hello. “Area is still beautiful.”

“yes.”

An awkward and short conversation took place. Alea didn’t seem to mind, but their relationship couldn’t be very comfortable.

At that time, the horse that had unloaded its load shook its head. Food!

“hmm? “This guy.”

The sight of those words was familiar. Mal also snorted as if he recognized Helmut.

Helmut approached the horse and stretched out his hand. Suddenly, the mouth opened.

“white?”

Helmut was surprised that he remembered the horse’s name.

Is this what you received in return for a request when you came to Baden? When we went to Linosa, we took a carriage and left the horses behind.

Meanwhile, White was being cared for at Ethan Kudrow’s mansion.

“You’re still alive.”

As if White understood, he shook off Helmut’s touch.

The guy snorted and glared at Helmut. The temper was still alive.

Area scolded.

“A horse’s lifespan isn’t that short. “It’s not like you’ve been there for decades.”

“…It did.”

Some of the things he left behind were still in place. So that I can find it again. This may also be one of them.

Whether Helmut was overcome with emotion or not, Ethan, who appeared late, struck the candle.

“That horse belongs to Sarah now.”

“I also gave him a new name. “His name is Cream now!”

Isn’t it the same with cream or white? Helmut thought that Sarah had a similar sense of naming as he did.

He protested briefly.

“That’s what I’m saying.”

“You left it behind and I fed it and raised it, so I have a right to it.”

“Okay, it’s mine now!”

Sarah protested strongly. Helmut had no choice but to give up ownership of the horse he briefly thought he had regained.

First of all, the horse whose name was changed to Cream seemed to like Sarah more than Helmut.
