Charlotte. Now she is the only one left.
Even though it was not a threat to destroy Linosa or kill the Archduchess and Michael, it is a story that is difficult for her, as the Grand Duchess of Linosa, to easily accept.
Helmut’s intention to regain his legitimate rights means that he could become the Grand Duke of Rinosa.
Prince Rinosa with the sprout of darkness! Charlotte had already seen the danger four years ago.
Moreover, Charlotte is also one of the successors to Rinosa, so it is difficult to tolerate this if she also has ambitions.
However, the closest successor to the current Grand Duke position is Michael.
As she had no intention of confronting him head-on, ascending to the position of Grand Duke of Rinosa was a distant possibility, but the possibility was not entirely out of the question.
Michael was weak and she was healthy, so it could be her turn at any time.
Charlotte’s expression hardened. He didn’t say anything negative or opposed, but he seemed a little shocked.
“What are you going to do?”
Helmut finally turned his gaze to her and asked.
Charlotte must have predicted what would happen if she rescued him from the Forest of Pahe. Did he even predict that things would go this way?
Even if Charlotte declares that she cannot join, Helmut will let her go.
At least I have faith that she won’t snitch on Rinosa.
Xian scratched his cheek and looked somewhere else, and Asuka also kept her mouth shut.
This was a matter that no one could force.
Charlotte slowly opened her mouth.
“Senior is the bloodline of Nosa Rin and the grand duke’s legitimate son. That is a senior’s right. “I think it’s natural for my senior to regain what he lost.”
However, she blinked and continued speaking.
“However, if the method involves shaking up the country called Linosa, I cannot participate. The people of the Grand Duchy of Rinosa are responsible for protecting Rinosa. “The reason I participated in heading to the Forest of Pahe is because I owed my life to my senior.”
It’s not like Charlotte didn’t think about it either. Who can help Helmut, and who can Helmut attract?
It was a force that could have shaken Linosa.
Helmut declared firmly.
“What you’re worried about won’t happen.”
“Senior, you should know one thing. The next Grand Duke of Rinosa will be decided by the current Grand Duke of Rinosa. No one can challenge that decision.”
It was a law established to prevent wasteful disputes related to the issue of successor.
Even if the current Grand Duke of Linosa, the father of Charlotte and Helmut, acknowledged that Helmut was his son and the legitimate legitimate legitimate son of Linosa, what happened after that was the problem.
If Archduke Rinosa decides that Michael will be the next Archduke, that will be the end of it.
And what Helmut wants is not simply to be recognized as one of the Archduke’s children.
Four years ago, that was enough. No, I didn’t even want that. But now it was different.
“I will get what I want the right way.”
There was no intention to threaten the Archduke or use coercive methods. Just inform Grand Duke Rinosa.
Helmut is a worthy successor to Rinosa.
“Then I… … .”
“You just have to do the minimum you can.”
After all, she is also the daughter of Grand Duchess Linosa and Michael’s brother.
Unlike Helmut, she did not completely abandon them.
Eventually, Charlotte answered.
“Then I will join you. “What do you want me to do?”
Simple words without unnecessary words. Jet-black eyes, just like Helmut’s. Those eyes were shining with determination. It was a determination as strong as iron.
“First, go back to Greta Academy. “If you keep leaving, Linosa will notice.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Charlotte nodded gently.
Now, finally, the path has been decided. It was time for everyone to move on in their own way.

Charlotte left for Area’s movement magic the next day. Area gave her her magic crystal ball. With it, you can contact us at any time.
Charlotte will return to Greta Academy and bide her time.
Xian and Asuka were also busy. In order for Asuka to become a dragon, she had to go to the city.
In order to be officially employed by Helmut, Sian also had to register with the Wizards’ Association, so he had to go with him as well.
The plan to stay in Green Cana until Heike showed up did not change.
When Xian and Asuka left for the city, Helmut remained with the two monsters, Area and Green Cana.
At that time, Terra asked to talk to Helmut, who was swinging a sword in the clearing.
“Helmut, can I talk to you for a moment?”
“yes.”
He looked worried as if he had heard the story from Sian.
“I heard that Sian is with Helmut. They haven’t said what they’ll do together, but it won’t be easy. “You said you were going to register with the Wizards Association, what is going on?”
Helmut answered clearly.
“I decided to hire him. “He will pay you a lot.”
I haven’t found it yet, but there are a lot of properties here. Because there is Darian’s legacy.
Terra seemed speechless for a moment and stroked her head.
“… … “Do you think I’m worried that Sian might work for free?”
Helmut thought for a moment and then answered.
“When the contract ends, we decided to find him a full-time job.”
Terra said she was worried about Xian being unemployed, so wouldn’t it be okay to solve that problem?
Terra’s face became increasingly mysterious.
“Well, that’s a good thing, but… … . “I’m worried that Xian is in danger.”
“There is nothing more dangerous than entering the forest of Pahe.”
And Sian has already done that. There was nothing more dangerous now.
It’s a brief statement, but Terra is at a loss for words because it only pinpoints the truth.
She had to make one last thing clear to Helmut.
“Helmut, Rodril can’t help you. Even if something happens to Sian, it’s the same. Even if I move, I can only save Xian.”
That must be the limit set by the earth spirit. Helmut answered simply.
“I hired Sian, a top graduate from Greta Academy, not Sian Rodrile. “He is an excellent wizard.”
“… … Helmut seems to approve of Xian. “That’s a good thing.”
Terra finally seemed to understand and gave a well-wishes to Helmut.
“I hope you stay safe and achieve what you want.”
As she was about to turn around, she added another word.
“And don’t forget. “What the Earth Spirit delivered to you.”
“… … “I haven’t forgotten.”
Even if the sacred barrier is damaged, monsters do not come out of Pahe Forest.
There is nothing Helmut can do right now. He simply sent word to Antiol to pay attention to the sacred barrier.
If something strange happened, the temple would be the first to know about it. And the movement of the temple will be transmitted to Helmut through Antiol.
‘Nothing is easy.’
But there was nothing to be afraid of. Helmut moved his sword, which had stopped due to Terra’s appearance. That was all he could do now.

Xian and Asuka also returned to the village, and time passed quickly like a stream. A week later, Heike visited Green Cana.
“How are you?”
The bags under his eyes made him look like he had been focused on research the whole time. Area greeted her warmly.
“Now it’s finally here.”
The tone is as if he is criticizing me for being so late. Heike calmly accepted it with a smile.
“This is research at a level you can’t even dream of, so it’s natural that it will take some time.”
[Has the research been completed?]
Elaga rushed out to greet her.
“It’s similar to a leopard or a cat, so you won’t feel any discomfort if it looks like that.”
[How similar are they? Visibility is too low. It’s frustrating!]
Elaga said that it was nice to be able to go into the basket at some point, but she was complaining.
Ygrel walked from the other side. It was an expressionless face.
“Take it.”
Heike handed each thick metal bracelet to Elaga and Igrel. She explained to them both how to use the bracelet.
“You can freely go back and forth between its original form and its current form.”
And Heike set up a barrier blocking his vision. He meant to test the bracelet.
However, while Elaga tried the bracelet and quickly returned to her cat form, Ygrel’s reaction was violent.
[Kiaaaaaaa!]
As soon as I returned to the main body, Igrel’s voice echoed throughout the village. Everyone nearby quickly covered their ears.
The temporary barrier Heike had set up collapsed as the demonic energy exploded from her body.
Elaga shouted.
[That crazy guy!]
Ygrel kicked off the ground and flew into the sky. It was a violent movement, as if expressing the frustration of not being able to fly until now.
It happened in an instant. No one could stop Ygrel.
Heike muttered as he looked towards the sky where Ygrel had flown away.
“The bracelet has a location tracking function.”
“If you don’t come back like this, chasing Ygrell might become an urgent priority.”
Fortunately, Ygrel, who gave everyone new worries, returned to Green Cana a few hours later.
Late at night, she got off Green Cana and transformed into human form, shrugging her shoulders as if nothing had happened.
“I guess I lost my mind because I couldn’t fly for so long. Oh, the bracelet worked fine. “Will you understand?”
Heike responded with his arms crossed.
“I guess I should add illusion magic to the bracelet as well.”
Although it was necessary to sort out Green Cana, which was in disarray because of this, the incident ended as a one-time incident.
The time had come to leave Green Cana.
