Chapter 21: A New Wind Blows
"What's wrong...... Haven't slept yet? β
The moon in the sky has gradually sunk in the west, and the morning sun of dawn has dyed the horizon white.
In one of the rooms in the palace, when the boy turned over again in frustration, the girl's sleepy voice came from beside him.
"I'm sorry...... Woke you up? Heiliga froze slightly, "I'm sorry...... I'll go out for a walk, and you can sleep a little longer. β
"Yawn...... Never mind. Fei kicked away from the quilt, opened her eyes hard, and sat up, "Since you're all awake...... If you're really sleepy, wait until daytime to compensate for it with a nap. β
"You......" Helriga smiled wryly and sat up from the bed.
ββ¦β¦ Did you think about what Laura said to you that night? After a long time, the girl broke the somewhat strange silence, "This really doesn't look like you. β
"Hey...... I just didn't expect this to happen to me...... When you encounter similar problems in others, you can just say a word or two to fool the past. But it feels really uncomfortable to be bumped into something like this. β
"Yes...... "The girl leaned lightly against Helriga's back, "but then againβactually, it doesn't seem to be that serious?" β
"Hmm. My father can handle it, but he's not there enough for me to worry about...... It's just that in this way, the aristocratic faction ...... It looks like it's getting more and more rampant. Heiliga said gloomily, "This matter will have to be discussed with Olibat. β
All night, the teenager was thinking about the same thing over and over again. For such a similar difficulty, he was actually mentally prepared, and his father naturally did not fail to deal with it. But the question is, have the nobles of Balyahat gone too far? And since my father was semi-forced to join that camp, it all seemed even more obvious.
Heliga gently shook his sweaty hands. This matter must be handled carefully. The Duke's family is huge, and it is not easy to find a flaw in it, and his own strength is always powerless in the face of such negotiations.
"There should be a way for him to say it." Fei nodded, "However, don't forget to ask for everyone's help." β
"Huh?"
"Hehe, I can't always let you see the weak side of others. Once in a while, you have to show some real thoughts. Fei said softly, "Moreover, some people ...... Sure it can help you. β
"Really? β¦β¦β
"yes...... But don't worry, at least for now...... Let me stay with you for a while......"
The night is not over yet.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ-
"I'm very happy...... You're going to come to me about it. Oliebat's face smiled sincerely, "Because ...... Well, you've always had the tendency to keep everything in your mind and figure it out on your own. Although I know that you have strange powers, so there are very few things in this world that can hurt you, but this kind of soft knife such as interpersonal relationship handling cannot be solved by relying on strength alone. β
"yes, I understand that...... That's why I came to you with a lot of similar experience to discuss. Hyliga shrugged, "I'd like to hear Viscount Victor's version, Laura's words, it always feels like some details of her have been missed......"
"Okayβah, but before you do, take a look at this." Olibart nodded, and as he handed Heliga a document from his desk.
"This is ...... admission to the Tolz Non-commissioned Officer Academy?" Heiliga looked at the flowing font on it and paused for a moment, "Are you in such a hurry?" β
"No...... This is just a trial work. Olibart laughed, "Specifically...... You have to say hello to the head of Van Dyck first. I think that if you take the entrance exam normally, eighty percent will be brushed off, so I will simply help you falsify a score, as for the future...... It's up to you to educate. β
"It's true that I've never systematically studied culture because I've been away all year round, but that doesn't mean I don't understand." Heliga picked up another list on the table, "You see, ancient history, conductivity, art, I'm actually good at all of that, math ...... Hmmm......"
"I haven't studied, no, right?" Olibat nodded as a matter of course, "Therefore, when you get to the academy, you should take a certain amount of time to study...... In any case, since he is already a student on the surface, a similar set of preparations will naturally follow. β
"I didn't expect you to say that." Heliga glared at the triumphant Oliebat, "A person like you who is not serious in your bones can teach others to be "like a student". β
"Hmph, don't look at me like this, I was the first among all the graduating students back then."
ββ¦β¦ It's hard to believe, but it's true. Mullah on the side looked at Helika's obvious disbelief and said, "At least for the two years of the academy, he has pretended to be harmless in front of most of the students. β
ββ¦β¦ Is it true? This is going to impress you. The truth of this incident surprised Helriga, "Well, I understand the reason...... I'll wait until you've talked to the headmaster. β
"That's right...... So let's stop here. Actually, I have another idea besides something about you...... You've probably heard of ...... too."
"Regardless of origin and background, a mixed class of commoner and aristocratic students? There is indeed value in experimentation. Heliga remembered Oliebart mentioning it, "So, you want me to be in that class?" β
"If you could...... "Olibat's sincere," Olibat, "with you, the students would have avoided a lot of detours." Looking at Helliga's puzzled eyes, Oliebat added, "That's right, most of the shortlists I have finalized so far are ...... that will be quite influential in the future How to say it, their parents are actually quite prominent figures from all walks of life in China...... I hope that they will be able to use this future influence, and the new ideas brought by this "special class", to blow a new wind on this old empire. β
"I see what you mean...... But it sounds a bit like a gamble. β
"yes...... Compared to that jae, any action I made felt like a gamble. Olibarte nodded, "Still, it's worth trying. β
"Okay...... I understand. If you can settle all the problems in advance, I promise you. Besides, since you need me, why don't you send Fei in? β
"It's not that you can't, but ...... She's a hunter, right? I mean, those tough classes in school......"
"Her words are fine." Heiliga decisively agreed, "She is a very hard worker, I think, in addition to the memories of the battlefield, she should also have some normal experience...... This was one of the wishes of the regiment commander at that time. β
ββ¦β¦ Okay, I promise you. Olibat nodded.
"Then we'll make up our minds." Looking at each other, full of tacit understanding.
"Okay, then, let's talk about your father......"
