A Narrow-Eyed Nobleman Is Always Misunderstood

Chapter 103 – Helen of the Alemis

Adalbert looked at the red-haired woman grabbing his collar.

He judged by the slight blush on the woman’s face that she was feeling ashamed.

In addition, her slightly shrunken appearance seemed to contradict her confident attitude toward the brown-haired man earlier.

“What is going on?”

Adalbert smiled and spoke to the red-haired woman.

It meant that if she grabbed her own collar, she would have something she wanted, so she should say it quickly.

“I-I mean… Apologies for the earlier rudeness…….”

“Oh, you mean that? It’s okay.”

Adalbert waved his hand at the red-haired woman’s story and said it was okay.

It was because misunderstanding was a daily routine for him in the first place.

So, he thought, she didn’t have to apologize to herself.

“It’s something I always experience when I live like this. So it’s okay if you don’t apologize.”

Adalbert said he was fine with the red-haired woman with a smile.

However, even after hearing Adalbert’s words, she did not intend to back down in the slightest.

“No! You can never just let it go! If the head of the household finds out that I just sent you there, it will be a big surprise!”

The red-haired woman raised the family tree and showed the attitude that she had to apologize somehow.

Unlike Gunn, who was slightly depressed and withdrawn, now his voice has risen somewhat and his attitude has changed.

Adalbert was still smiling at her.

“Ah, anyway! Letting go of a person who helped you would damage our family’s honor!”

The red-haired woman said that somehow she was going to pay Adalbert for helping her.

“But I don’t know what kind of family you belong to, do you? So if I just go, won’t there be any problems? And since the lady doesn’t even know who I am, wouldn’t it be nice if we parted like this since we never helped each other? Then, even if we meet later, we can pretend we met each other for the first time.”

However, Adalbert pointed out her most important problem, which was that she did not know who the red-haired woman was, nor did she know who she was.

So, Adalbert said honestly that there would be no problem if we pretended to have met for the first time when we parted ways and met again.

But the red-haired woman didn’t seem to think so.

“Then let me tell you my name. My name is Helen Agnes Alemis, the eldest daughter of the Alemis family.”

“I am… My name is Dalbert Rainmed.”

Adalbert almost said the name Alberto, as was his old habit.

However, he managed to come up with the current name, Adalbert, instead of the old name, Alberto.

“Adalbertra… …. It sounds good.”

Helen, the red-haired woman, heard Adalbert’s name and gave it a good review.

But for an instant, a name flashed through her mind.

That was a rumor that had been circulating recently among the noble families of the Elpario Empire.

There are rumors about a man with long white hair who carries a sword on his waist.

White hair that is whiter than pure white snow, thin eyes and thick eyelashes that seem to be closed as if they are covering up all the sins of the world.

It is said that because of the benevolent smile on her lips and her divine appearance, she was misunderstood as a priest.

The man identified himself as Adalbert Rainmed.

“Ho, by any chance? Ship… town!”

And he had a nickname.

It is said that people who witnessed him all called him this because of his tremendous skills, such as coming with a smile and waving white hair or unilaterally slaughtering powerful monsters such as trolls.

It’s called ‘The White Reaper’.

At the same time Helen remembered his nickname, she also remembered what to look out for when meeting him.

‘If you meet the White Reaper, never call him by his nickname. He hates that nickname. And, he doesn’t care what his status is if he’s rude to him, so don’t be rude to him even if you’re a noble. If you do, his blade, capable of slashing an ogre in one blow, will hang over your neck.’

She recalled the advice never to be rude to him and never to mention nicknames.

“Shh, pretty girl. Is it rude to call someone by their nickname?”

For this reason, Helen was unable to react when Adalbert raised her hand to cover her mouth.

If you offend him even a little bit, you never know when your head will separate from your body and fly in the sky.

“If you behave rudely, you will remain rude in my memory. Then, neither me nor you will be good. Wouldn’t it be?”

Helen could only nod her head at Adalbert’s words.

Obviously, he was looking at himself and talking kindly, but there was something huge hidden in what he was saying.

If you do something rude and you will be remembered as a rude person, he was saying that he would never forget you, and if he did, he was warning that bad things would happen to both him and himself.

Perhaps, in the worst case, if a problem arises later due to his rudeness, he and his family might suffer tremendous damage.

To that extent, it meant that the man named Adalbert had great potential.

“Well, I also find it annoying to get involved in this and that, so let’s just step away from each other. Wouldn’t that be nice?”

Adalbert took a step back and looked at Helen with a smile.

Helen could only nod her head at Adalbert’s words.

“Well, but… I wonder if there are other people’s eyes…….”

However, Helen could not send Adalbert back like this.

Whatever she did, she herself was indebted to him, and according to her family’s policy, she had to repay him.

“Haa, it’s okay.”

“I’m not okay, I am.”

She said Helen was not okay with herself and offered Adalbert her reward, but he stubbornly refused her reward.

“Ehh, I can’t. So, what is that reward?”

In the end, it was Adalbert who raised the white flag first.

Helen smiled brightly as Adalbert raised the white flag.

“If I had time, I would give you a reward right now, but I also have a place to go, so I’ll give you this first.”

“You don’t have time, did you get into a fight with a bully? Wouldn’t it have solved the problem if I had just told the name of the family of the lady?”

“It was because I was flustered, because I was flustered. People can always do that when they are embarrassed.”

Meanwhile, Helen took out a small decoration with the family coat of arms from the small leather bag she was wearing around her waist, and she handed it to Adalbert.

“What is this?”

Adalbert, who was handed her ornament that Helen had taken out of her, asked her what it was.

“This is a proof that you are a person who has helped the people of the Alemis family. If you come to the Alemis family’s mansion in the capital with this token, I can do anything I can.”

“Hmm…… Is that so. Then we will accept it for now.”

Adalbert seemed reluctant, but it was given to him anyway, so he took it well and kept it in his arms.

After Helen confirmed that Adalbert had received the ornament she had given her, she greeted him and left on her own.

As she walked away from Adalbert, her steps were lighter than ever.

–

I was looking at Helen’s back as she walked away with her light steps.

‘The Alemis family. Did he come from a family of heroes who fought against the apostles of evil spirits like ours?’

It came to my mind that the Alemis family is one of the most prestigious families in the Elpario Empire, and that they are descendants of one of those who fought against the apostles of evil spirits.

Looking at her appearance, her taste was bitter because she seemed completely different from my current situation.

Watching her back as she walked away reminded me of her family in her hometown.

The two younger sisters who begged me to buy gifts for me when I went to play in other estates.

My youngest brother was looking forward to the day he went outside like me.

A father who is a bit blunt but affectionate, and a mother who always works hard for family harmony.

From noble mtl dot com.

Many servants, including the head maid.

Above all, Nina, whom I love and cherish the most.

I wanted to see her face.

“… ….”

Today’s outing seemed to have to end here.

Unlike Helen, who returned with brisk steps, my steps back to the lodging were extremely heavy.
