A Narrow-Eyed Nobleman Is Always Misunderstood

Episode 225 – Who Knew There Was Such a Story?

Alberto’s mother, Elena Maria Meydern, also known as Countess Meydern.

Before marrying Dittorio, she used the name Elena Maria Legeteron.

In other words, she was the daughter of an aristocratic family who used the surname Regeteron.

If you ask people in the world the name of the family called Regeteron, what will they say?

“Reggae, what? Reggaetheron? “Is this your first time hearing this name?”

“Well. “Aren’t you referring to the Levitern family incorrectly?”

“I don’t know. “How can idiots like us memorize the family names of noblemen?”

Like this, when asked about the family called Regeteron, most people answer that they don’t know.

People walking around on the streets are usually commoners, so what happens if you ask nobles who know a lot about nobles again?

“Reggaeton? This is my first time hearing this name. “Is it a fallen noble?”

“I have traveled a lot around the world, but I have never heard of a family called Regeteron.”

Like the commoners, the nobles also responded that they had never heard of a family called Regeteron.

It was a natural reaction.

The family called Regeteron is a family that has never been out in the sun to begin with.

It would be natural for those who live only in sunny areas to not know.

◈

“Before I used the last name Maidern, I used the last name Legeteron.”

“Legeteron… ?”

Hehe. Probably your first time hearing it. “Our Legeteron family was not a family that operated in the sun, but a family that operated completely in the shadows.”

“You mean in the dark?”

Nina couldn’t understand what Elena was talking about.

A family that was active in the shade rather than in the sun?

No, what country is it that divides sunny and shaded areas and imposes restrictions on the activities of noble families?

It made so much sense that it made no sense to think with common sense.

“Okay. “Looking at your expression, I’m guessing it doesn’t make sense based on common sense, right?”

Elena looked at Nina’s expression and told her exactly what she was thinking.

Nina was shocked when Elena guessed exactly what she was thinking.

“Well, how did you know that?”

“What, once again. “Everyone who heard the name of my original family thought that.”

Elena showed a relaxed attitude, as if it was no big deal that Nina thought that way.

She picked up the teacup filled with black tea and took a sip of its contents.

I picked up the snack on the plate with my hand and bit into it.

“Unless they are truly high-ranking nobles or noble families that have existed since the birth of the empire, it is natural to not know about families that only operate in the shadows.”

“I never knew my mother was a member of such a family.”

“He too. “I didn’t say anything in the first place, but if he finds out, he’s suspicious.”

Elena leisurely accepted Nina’s words.

Then Nina began to wonder what Elena’s family was doing in the shadows.

“But what exactly did your mother’s family do in the shadows?”

“…”

In response to Nina’s question, Elena put down the teacup she was holding on the table.

Nina was taken aback by her sudden behavior

“Are you sure you want to know?”

Elena asked Nina again if she really wondered what her family had done.

Because, she didn’t do anything as grandiose as she thought.

“Yes… “I want to know.”

“Okay then. “I asked if you really wanted to hear it because it was a boring story.”

“Is that so… ?”

Nina carefully lowered her voice while observing Elena’s notice her.

“Are you okay. Are you okay. Anyway, my family rarely comes out of the shadows, so no one knows. However, no one can deny that our family is an aristocratic family, as the records are stored in the records of the imperial palace along with the seal received from His Majesty the First Emperor.”

Elena gave her soft smile and began to introduce herself about her family, as Nina looked down at her.

“Okay. So, our Legetern family has as its progenitor a person who fought alongside the heads of the first famous families, including the Maidern family.”

Elena lifted the teacup and took a sip of her tea.

“After the chaotic era, our ancestors gave up their titles and status as nobles and tried to return to being natural people. “It was the ancestor of the Maidern family and the first emperor who dethroned him.”

Elena began to rummage through her mind and recall her memories.

“In response to the earnest request of the two of you, our ancestor had no choice but to maintain his title and noble status and declare that he would not be seen in the sun. Because our family has been a clan given the mission to protect this world since ancient times.”

Elena got up from her seat her and took one of her items her out of her her safe her her her.

The item she took out was a small jewel ring.

“This ring is an artifact that only our clan can wear. “It was a ring made by our ancestors and given only to the heirs of the family.”

“Then what about your mother?”

“Okay.”

Elena smiled bitterly.

“I am the last descendant of the Leggetern family.”

She sipped the tea again, probably because her throat was burning.

“We, the Reggaetern family, have the ability to predict our own future only once in our lives.”

“Future… “Is it a prophecy?”

Nina showed interest when she heard that she had the ability to predict the future.

“Well, it’s been a long time since I used that one. “What did I say earlier?”

“If it was before…”

Nina tried to recall what Elena had said earlier.

And she was able to recall what Elena had said.

“Obviously, my mother heard a prophecy that her first child would be the only enemy of evil who would save the world.”

“Okay. That’s right. “I said something wrong earlier, and in reality, I was peeking into my future while working for a secret organization that worked to save the world.”

Elena said, looking into Nina’s eyes her her her her her.

“In the not-too-distant future, I would get married and become the mother of two boys and two girls. There I saw my current husband for the first time, and when we met in person, I fell in love at first sight and got married.”

“Well, I see.”

“I was scared, to be honest. “I hoped that the prophecy that my child would be the only enemy of evil who would save the world would not come true.”

Elena began to pour out her thoughts her her her to her her her her Nina her her her.

“So I raised Alberto with as much protection as possible. But, Alberto was kidnapped.”

Elena remembered that she knew that Alberto had been kidnapped, and she contacted her old colleagues, asking Dittorio to help her find Alberto.

“With the help of my old colleagues, I was able to find Alberto and find out who was responsible for kidnapping Alberto.”

Elena recalled her memories of that day.

“It was a tragedy. “In addition to our family, there were people in organizations that were hostile to us who could glimpse a certain future.”

“Then what about them?”

In response to Nina’s question, Elena nodded her head.

“Okay. Those guys kidnapped Alberto. Don’t let Alberto become a hero.”

“No way, so that’s Al’s face?”

“I think I know what you’re thinking. That’s right. “They scared Alberto’s cute and handsome face and placed a terrible ancient curse that prevented his eyes from growing any bigger.”

“Oh my god…”

After hearing the story of Elena and Alberto’s past, Nina realized why Alberto’s eyes remained squinted.

In fact, it was related to this that Alberto’s eyes widened a little when he acted as Adalbert Reinmed.

When Alberto was active as Adalbert, a large amount of divine power entered his body.

This divine power offset the curse on Alberto’s face to some extent, and his eyes opened considerably.

However, as he gained enlightenment from Tarun, mana, divine power, and auror turned into higher powers.

And Alberto’s eyes returned to their previous appearance

“Then shouldn’t I curse you?”

“I couldn’t do it. The curse was so strong that it was impossible to do it even if a colleague who was an expert in doing it came.”

“Oh my god, something like that… ” …”

As Nina listened to her story about Alberto’s narrowed eyes, she felt a compassion begin to arise in her that she had not had before.

Perhaps it was because she was reminded of his confident appearance despite being cursed to grow squinted against his will.

The more Nina heard such stories, the more she loved her for Alberto grew.

“What happened to those guys?”

“The guy who put the curse on Alberto and his colleagues all died by his hands. If nothing else, he is a person who cares deeply about his family.”

“Oh. “My father was that kind of person.”

“Yes. Because I also fell in love with that look.”

In her conversation with Nina, Elena recalled the day she and Dittorio first met.

“Anyway, let’s prepare for the banquet to be held at the imperial palace as soon as the engagement ceremony is over. And then shouldn’t we now prepare for marriage?”

“Ah yes. That’s how we should do it.”

In this way, she was Alberto, whose wedding date was set in a place she had never imagined.

Was it fortunate that she was able to choose her engagement ceremony with her own hands?

That may be a story only Alberto himself knows.
