A Famous Traitor and Treacherous Genius

183 – My Nostrum, Your Nostrum (3)

Noir died of syphilis.

Is this an old story again?

Aren’t you tired of it?

‘I’m not bored.’

This is an area where we must always be on guard.

Just as we forget and downplay the fact that there was a fatal accident at the Mado Factory and then recall the past accident every time to prevent another accident, it is not enough to be alert and aware of the cause of the death of family members again and again.

Especially now, if the direct cause of human death known as Noir Gibraltar has been revealed, I must be on full alert.

“Uh, hey. Chairman…?”

In front of me, a woman with blue hair and blue eyes is sitting in a humble posture.

“Her hair is blue, Lady Viscount Harmania.”

“Ah, yes! There is a saying among freshmen that blue is a symbol of good luck, so I dyed my hair.”

It appears that she was originally blonde, but it appears that her hair was dyed blue- ‘Hapsberg color’-with a special dye brought in from that empire.

“It’s not magic?”

“Well, my family is not good at dyeing their hair with magic…”

The Harmania Viscount is not very financially wealthy.

The daughter was so beautiful that it seemed like the men around her would be attracted to her, and if she used her, it seemed like she would form an in-law relationship with a great family, but Viscount Harmania could not go beyond that line.

“I see. That’s why the Chairman of the Board selected the daughter of the Viscountess as a ‘Gibraltar Scholar’ among the new students.”

“Thank you. “My father will be happy too.”

The daughter of Viscount Harmania bows her head and bows.

If Astasia had been here, we could have made a direct comparison, but I think it would be better to compare her size with her mother than with Astasia.

Charlotte Harmonia.

When her mother she was in the prime of her beauty her at the age of 17, Viscount Harmonia named her own daughter after her her mother her her, Charlotte.

At the time, it was popular.

Everyone was filled with dreams that if the name ‘Charles’ was added, a beautiful woman would be born, and she would marry a handsome man like the Margrave of Gibraltar.

She said that if she looked like that person with a similar name, all the ‘Saites’ in the country would have gone crazy, but this is a unique case.

“As rumored, she is a great beauty.”

“Ah, thank you.”

Charlotte Harmania has become a beauty as everyone expected, but she has never officially married or dated anyone.

“Of course, it’s nothing compared to my Astasia.”

“…”

Lady Charlotte smiles bitterly.

Her pride may have been hurt by being compared in front of her, but this woman was able to come out to this place without any pressure because she knew that I was like this.

Why?

‘What man wouldn’t feel his heart his flutter in front of his single and virgin mother his?’

No matter where you go, there are a lot of men flirting with Lady Charlotte.

Although she is 24 years old she is quite old for a nobleman compared to his mother’s prime her, recently, with the introduction of culture from the empire, the story that ‘it is not too late for a woman to be 25 ‘is flowing through the canyon.

According to imperial standards, marriageable age.

Even from the perspective of the nobles of the Kingdom of Nostrum, it is a bit late, but even taking that into account, she is a woman whom you would not be ashamed to carry anywhere.

“Why did she enter the academy? I don’t think she’s interested.”

“…My father wants me to find a boy at the academy and marry him.”

“I don’t think Viscount Harmania has tried to prevent me from getting married so far.”

“You asked for a lot of conditions. Although we never got engaged, we got frustrated a lot when we were considering those conditions.”

Viscount Harmania tried to sell her daughter for as much as possible, but she ended up making her daughter a virgin who could not get married until she was 24.

“You’ve never actually been engaged?”

“We’ve never met. My father’s line was already broken before I came forward. Ah, this is not immorality…”

“I’m just telling the truth. There’s no need to feel pressured. I don’t really care about that.”

“…It’s my first time meeting you, but thank you. I can talk to you without any pressure.”

There are many reasons why this woman treats me comfortably, but it is because she senses that I am not a man who is after her body.

“To be honest, it’s a bit overwhelming. I guess… I’m sensitive to the looks of people around me.”

“It’s the fate of a beauty. So, as soon as I entered Astasia, I clung to her side. Ah, if you think about such things, don’t even dream. I have no one other than Astasia in my past life, present life, and future.”

“…I may be a little proud, but thank you for your words, Chairman.”

She may not be used to hearing things like this, as she is a confident woman, but the more she talks about it, the less she becomes wary.

“Yes. You’re probably wondering why I called you. You’ll think I didn’t call you to talk about this.”

“…”

“Why? Did you really think that I was calling you, who was praised as the most beautiful girl among the freshmen, to criticize you by saying, ‘Our Astasia is prettier, cuter, and more adorable?'”

“Joe, a little…?”

“What do you think of me?”

It was absurd, so I quenched my thirst by drinking somnus tea for a moment.

“Astasia is already an absolutely lovely goddess, so there is no need for such comparisons.”

“…”

“Others can compare. But I cannot. Astasia is absolutely ranked 0, and if we discuss what comes next, of course the ranking is fixed.”

“Can I ask you something?”

“Lettar Gibraltar. My sister.”

“…What happens next?”

“My mother in her maiden days, Charlotte Lembourg Gunther.”

“…Oh, I see.”

Now, the eyes looking at me seem like they are looking at me like a crazy person, but fortunately, they didn’t show any wariness towards the male.

“Charlotte Lembourg Gunther of Crimson Gibraltar. Astasia von Tersian of Gray Gibraltar. Everyone acknowledges that the name that comes next to she cannot be replaced.”

I emptied the teacup.

“Noir Gibraltar.”

Charlotte flinched.

“Are you aiming for it?”

“…”

“Or did you hear orders to aim for it?”

“That… “

“You have to be honest. I can accept a person who becomes an ally through compromise even if I am hostile to him right now, but I think someone who comes across as a lie will forever be an enemy.”

“…I received your order.”

Lady Charlotte took a deep breath and answered.

“I was told by my father, ‘Make Noir Gibraltar your man somehow.'”

“Why?”

“That’s right, he’s Gibraltar’s second son. Even before Gray Gibraltar was known to be a master at riding a dragon, even if he was weak at black… No, even now, there’s a rumor going around that Noir Gibraltar is at least the owner of the ‘Count of Gibraltar of Nostrum’. “

“You are speaking openly in front of the eldest son of the Earl of Gibraltar.”

“I’m just repeating what my father said. As a noble, that’s not a problem.”

Aiming to rise in status by using your child’s marriage?

It is not particularly a problem for noble families; rather, it is encouraged.

“Excuse me for a moment. Do you know how much of an age difference there is between you and Noir?”

“…They’re so close, they’re almost 10 years apart.”

“9 years to be exact. You are 6 years older than me.”

Mentioning a woman’s age is clearly rude.

But this is also a clear fact.

“To be honest, I don’t think you’ll be of much help to Chat Noir’s studies.”

“…Why?”

Slowly, his feelings for me are revealed.

“Maybe I can give Noir Gibraltar ‘senior’ a little help?”

Not vigilance, but hostility.

It’s clearly anger toward obstacles that get in the way of one’s emotions.

“That’s right. I’m 24 years old. I’m not an academy student, but I’m at an age where I wouldn’t even be able to get married and have children, let alone graduate.”

“All that aside, you and Noir are 9 years apart…”

“I was 29 years old when Noir senior turned 20. I haven’t given up yet. And I have managed it thoroughly. “I plan to continue to do so in the future.”

“…Ha.”

It was very twisted in many ways.

“It’s not just your father’s orders, is it?”

“Yes.”

It was so seriously twisted.

“Why?”

“Why?”

“Why is that s…Noir?”

“…You may not know this, Chairman, but there was a lot of talk in social circles even before you won that championship with Princess Astacia. Wouldn’t it be a good idea to approach it rationally?”

“If it was a letter with a kiss mark on it, I burned it without even reading it.”

“There must have been several times more letters sent to Noir senior than the number of love letters sent that way.”

“So, why?”

“Of course. He’s a good person.”

After the regression, I turned Noir into a so-called ‘person’.

“Even at that age, his abilities are at the level of a mid-level knight, and he is already taller than me and has a strong body. He is the second son of the Gibraltar family, and if the eldest son, the young master, becomes the sire of the empire, the margrave’s position will naturally be taken over by senior Noir.”

“…”

“, My father said. I was worried at first, but in the end I decided to take the test. To meet Gibraltar, the last remaining man. And to win his favor his his.”

It’s not because I’m the older brother, but in my own way, I made him a boy with a bright future in the eyes of women.

“It’s true that I didn’t like my father’s proposal in many ways, but I saw it. That… You said it was a photo? I saw a photo taken of Noir Gibraltar. A photo taken at the sparring field with the seniors I was training with at the end of the first semester last year. “

“It must be a voyeur.”

“I don’t know about that.”

And in fact, Noir’s future his, at least with the exception of his personality his, was quite good in terms of both his face and body his, as he inherited Gibraltar’s blood his.

“Don’t worry. If Master Noir Gibraltar says he doesn’t like me, I’ll give up cleanly.”

The reason why Noir was criticized was because he fell in love with a woman and did not properly take responsibility for it, or more precisely, the ‘child’ that was born.

“But at least I can give it a try, whether I like it or not. I haven’t decided on a seat next to me yet.”

Were there really many women that Noir was forced to embrace?

Or were there many women who approached Noir Gibraltar with a calculator in advance and made love over a drink?

“I was convinced when I saw you taking the oath as a current student at the entrance ceremony. You just have to wait 5 years until you become an adult.”

“…”

“Honestly, on the outside, I look like I’m about 18 years old, right? Master Noir, after a little while, you’ll look like that age. Really, it was a moment of sincere gratitude for being born pretty.”

At least there were people who came to see that they had been forcibly held, but according to the results of the investigation, nine out of ten were people who tried to draw the attention of traitor Gray by saying something like that.

“…Noir is not good for women.”

“I’ve never heard of such a story?”

“No, that.”

“I don’t know as much as you do, but I have received information about Master Noir from various aspects. He is…Unlike other Nostrum nobles, he is sincere, well-behaved, and a dignified person who serves as a role model for a noble!”

“…Ha.”

There is no noise like that.

In contrast to the traitor Gray, there is only the next Sword Master who protects the traditions of Nostrum and alternates between chief and deputy at the academy.

“…I’m confident.”

As a result, from the noble ladies’ point of view, there have been a lot of people who are ‘sincerely’ targeting them.

“Age is just a number!”

“No, I know.”

“If you know, I hope you don’t bother to stop me. It would be a lie if I said I didn’t make various calculations, but I think I’m a good person purely rationally!”

“I heard you’re 9 years younger than me.”

“I can wait until I’m 20.”

“…”

…No, you.

Before returning, he secretly harbored syphilis bacteria in his body and killed Noir.
