A Narrow-Eyed Nobleman Is Always Misunderstood

chapter 204



Episode 204 – What Happened to Helen

It was a meeting on the street just before the start of the semester that left Alberto, who worked under the name Adalbert Reinmed, impressed by a woman named Helen Agnes Alemis.

Helen, the eldest daughter of the Alemis family, usually asked her servants to get the things she needed.

However, for some reason, all the workers were busy that day, and Helen had no choice but to go out into the streets and get her things herself.

Just as she was about to stop by the store and buy the necessary items and return to her lodgings, she got into an argument with a passerby on the street.

She clearly felt her her passer-by her her brushing her buttocks her.

When she asked her in an argumentative manner, she said that she was being unreasonable and in turn, she was attacked by a passerby.

Helen could not hold back her anger at the passerby’s flirtatious behavior and she challenged the passerby to a duel.

A nobleman’s duel requires a witness.

The person she wanted to appoint as her witness was Alberto, who was working under the name Adalbert at the time.

“There’s a priest with white hair!”

“Yes? Me?”

Perhaps because of her white hair, she mistook Alberto for a priest and tried to appoint him as a witness to the duel.

However, Helen was mistaken about one thing.

“I am not a priest, but a swordsman who trains swords.”

Alberto was a prosecutor, not a priest.

She realized that she had misunderstood, but because of her aristocratic pride, she hurled harsh words at Alberto.

“Ugh, ugh! Unless you’re a priest, don’t go out dressed like that! Why are you making people misunderstand!”

It was only after her excitement that Helen realized what she had done.

Wouldn’t she trust the mediation of the duel to someone she didn’t even know? She thought that she had misunderstood first and that he had provided the possibility of misunderstanding.

She realized that she had committed a very rude act as a noblewoman, but no sincere apology came out of her mouth.

Still, it was fortunate that Alberto’s aggro was attracted to the two passers-by who touched Helen’s buttocks.

Alberto took care of the two passers-by who said they would take care of him.

In reality, he just said that he would show a bad image if he didn’t step down, but the two people just got scared and backed out.

The problem seemed to be resolved when the two passersby withdrew of their own accord.

However, the problem that happened to Helen was not solved.

‘Ugh, why are you doing this?’

She couldn’t look at Alberto’s face properly.

Strangely enough, just looking at his face he made my face feel hot.

‘Is this called love?’

She was making a huge mistake.

She misunderstood that it was love that made her feel ashamed of the mistakes she had made and that it was difficult for her to treat others.

Just thinking about her partner makes her heart pound, she feels frustrated, and other things keep coming out.

These were the characteristics that appeared when one fell in love with someone in the romance novels she read.

In reality, she was just unconsciously expressing shame because she had done wrong to Alberto, but growing up in an aristocratic family, she did not clearly know the difference between being ashamed and loving.

In the first place, who would dare encourage her, the eldest daughter of the Alemis family, to make her apology?

Even if she did something wrong, according to social norms, a noble would not take the initiative to apologize.

Commoners or nobles whose families were weaker than the other party could not carelessly demand an apology from the other party.

Of course, in the opposite case, it was strange not to apologize.

The reason this was possible was because in the world of nobles, those with power had a cause.

The world of nobility is a world of strict law of the fittest, where those with power have rights.

However, while emphasizing power, it is controlled by culture and etiquette, so that it passes without problems, at least on the surface.

Still, if an accident occurs in front of many people, the weak apologizes to the strong, but if something happens when the two of them are alone, the person at fault apologizes first.

In other words, this was applied differently depending on the case.

So now that they were alone, Helen had to apologize first, but she had never experienced anything like that before.

Also, since her parents never taught her anything about this, she did not know that she had to apologize.

It was a shame that Alberto passed over it. If he had told this to others, the reputation of the Alemis family would have been damaged.

The good news was that Helen somehow caught Alberto.

It was one of the few good things she did, mistaking her shame from her her own faults for shame from her her her her her her love her her her.

“So, I apologize for my rudeness earlier…”

She caught Alberto to confirm her feelings and said that she would apologize for the rudeness she had done earlier.

It was truly a coincidence, but it at least eliminated her chance of being stigmatized for not apologizing for her mistakes.

“This is something you always experience when you live like this. So, it’s okay if you don’t apologize too hard.”

Alberto was so upset with her that she tried to just cover up and move on.

However, Alberto’s actions awakened Helen’s obsession with her.

“No! I can’t just let you go!”

She wouldn’t let Alberto go.

Feeling that she should not let him go like this, she held onto Alberto, even mentioning her family head’s name his.

“My name is Helen Agnes Alemis, the eldest daughter of the Alemis family.”

She said her own name. In her noble society, if she said her own name, it was polite for the other person to say it too.

“My name is Adalbert Reinmed.”

Alberto also said his name to work in the El Pario Empire.

‘Hehe, I finally found out the name. Albert Rainmed? That’s a cool name.’

During the process, there was a minor incident when the name of the White Reaper was brought up, and there were many other problems, but it seemed to end well with the handing of the family badge.

After that, she often ran into Alberto.

In fact, it wasn’t a coincidence.

In her own way, it was an effort to develop a relationship with him through a chance encounter.

A prince on a white horse from a fairy tale book who appeared in a crisis and solved the problem.

That’s what she thought Alberto was like.

However, despite her efforts, Alberto did not show up at the academy for a long time, and it was her insides that were burning every time he did so.

Some time passed and two students went missing due to an explosion in Maroonbah City.

Those students were Adalbert Reinmed and Damran.

The two people were said to have gone missing, but in reality, anyone could see that they were as good as dead.

The entire city was blown up, but how many people could survive in it?

‘It’s my fault, I should have said something.’

After hearing the news, Helen went into her room and shed tears.

This was because, as an executive of El-Romed, she also knew what they were planning.

‘Remove the White Reaper that stands in the way of achieving the organization’s great cause.’

It was only after the two left for Maroonba City that she learned that El-Romed was plotting this plan.

Before executing this plan, Damran requested strict information control to prevent other members of the organization who were not participating in the plan from being caught up in the matter.

So, it could be said that it was natural that Helen did not know about this.

She shed tears endlessly.

The tears flowing from her eyes made her pillow completely wet.

To that extent, she was feeling sad over Alberto’s death.

It was a person she met by chance, but that one impact was so strong that it was firmly embedded in her mind.

So she didn’t want Alberto to have anything to do with El-Romed, so she told Damran that he was the White Reaper, but didn’t that actually bring about his death?

‘I’m sorry, I was wrong. I didn’t know you would die because of me…’

She felt keenly that she was responsible for Alberto’s death.

Therefore, she tried to dispel the negative rumors about Alberto that were circulating within her academy, but each time, she was treated as the only one who was strange.

El-Romed’s gang members had entered Noble Academy too deeply.

Even so, because she was a member of a powerful noble family, people came to perceive Helen as ‘she is a truly good person who protects even bad people.’

However, Helen, who was treated like that, was on the verge of going crazy.

Wouldn’t it have been better if she had been criticized on her own behalf? Wouldn’t she have ended up only causing Alberto to be criticized more?

As she appeared to be gradually becoming more and more devastated, she received a call signal from a member of the El-Romed organization.

It was a signal to her that a strong enemy had appeared and to come quickly and help.

So she ran towards her dormitory, where she met the person she had wanted to meet so much.

“Mr. Adalbert…”

The person she thought was dead was standing in front of her alive, with only the color of her hair changing.

Helen’s feelings as she looked at him were complicated, but the tears flowing from her eyes were clearly tears of joy.

However, Alberto’s feelings toward Helen were also complicated.

‘Helen Agnes Alemis. The eldest daughter of the Alemis family. El-Romed’s senior executive. He is the one who told me the location of the White Reaper.’

That’s probably because she was also an executive of El-Romed who had to take matters into her own hands.
