67 – Scene 067# Crying

*

At that moment, a black curtain appeared between Helga and Tristan.

It was truly a magical sight.

His umbrella stopped every single drop of her soup.

It was an amazing reflex.

Normally, she might have realized that her movements were similar to those of Blanche, who avoided Helga’s blow.

But Helga was not in that situation.

“Cool, cool… ! Big!”

Helga coughed up tears and runny nose.

The hot soup burned the roof of my mouth and stung my nose.

Added to that, the shame of having shown an ugly appearance in front of the Count made it impossible to raise my head.

Helga screamed inwardly.

It was the girl’s trap after all!

Make sure to read from noble mtl com

Deceiving me by pretending to do me a favor.

He has an angelic face, but he’s actually a little devil!

A chilly voice rang in Helga’s ears as she trembled at Wendy’s ruse.

“… I would have told you not to appear in front of me again.”

Looking up, Helga’s lord, Tristan Ruelberta, was there.

A man who is the most influential aristocrat in the empire and is feared by the people of the empire for his cruel personality.

but… . Compared to before Helga went to the army, she looked very different.

The thick flesh was now difficult to find. The faint features became quite distinct.

That figure was far from Tristan, who was despised by the public as Count Pig.

Tristan has changed.

What the hell happened while she was away?

Through the cold rain, frozen eyes were looking down at Helga.

Those eyes were more chilling than she remembered.

Helga stood up, wiping her wet eyes.

Because I didn’t want to make him look ugly.

“Huh… . I’ve been here all along. It’s just that the Count appeared before me.”

“Sounds like a pun… .”

Tristan clicked his tongue and pulled something from his bosom.

It was a blank check with nothing written on it. he picked up a pen

“… You worked hard for me all this time. I will take care of the severance pay as much as you want.”

It might have been an eye-opening proposal to some, but it was too cruel for Helga.

“that… .”

Any hopes in Helga’s mind collapsed.

The one who expected it was too shabby.

How far does this man intend to bring me down?

“Tell me. How much do you want?”

“… … Enough to buy a seat next to the Count.”

At Helga’s pleading words, Tristan shook his head quietly.

“Don’t act like a child.”

“I am no longer a child.”

“no. You haven’t changed anything since then.”

those days. The childhood when Helga and Tristan met.

Tristan was a boy who had just risen to the throne, and Helga was a frail girl.

It was like a turning point in her life and at the same time the most painful period.

The boy from the memories said to Helga.

“You are still a tomboyish, unruly kid.”

“I am… !”

I screamed involuntarily.

“It has changed! I’m not that weak me now! I mean, I’m not the stupid girl who couldn’t handle that magic!”

Uncontrollable resentment burst through Helga’s voice.

“Look smart!”

Helga threw off her army coat wildly.

Then he tore the uniform he was wearing with his hands.

Her pale skin was exposed through the raindrops.

It was a grim sight.

Helga’s body, stained with large and small scars, was by no means pretty to look at.

But those were all traces of rebirth.

It was proof that he had survived the risk of his life on numerous battlefields.

Helga cried out as if she were vomiting blood.

“look! Count… . no! I’ll tell you as a childhood friend! I am strong! Now I’m not afraid of assassins or the Emperor’s bodyguards! I’m the only one who can protect Tristan! As much as my brother, even if I die… ! Even if you die! I will definitely protect… !”

It was a title I hadn’t called in a very long time.

But Tristan was not offended by Helga’s rudeness.

just take a deep sigh

“… … That’s why it’s called a child song. this foolish thing.”

“Why do you keep… ! I’m sorry… !”

Helga gritted her teeth.

“I am… ! I could die for you!”

“know.”

“You can risk your life! If that wasn’t enough, I would even risk my soul… !”

“I already know.”

Having said that, Tristan’s face looked somewhat sad.

He was looking at her with a face as if he had been in a very sad dream.

“Hello. I know you could die for me again and again.”

“Then why… !”

“That’s why I can’t take you.”

“… !?”

so you can’t get it? Helga couldn’t understand what Tristan was saying.

said Tristan, looking at the scars on her body.

“You went to the battlefield countless times, but you always survived. It would have been to survive and come back to me.”

His umbrella covered her head.

“But if you were by my side, you would easily lay down your life for me.”

“… … !”

Helga held her breath.

It was only then that he understood why he kept away from her.

She had an absurd misunderstanding.

I was so ashamed of that fact.

If I could erase the ugly heart that doubted him, I wanted to erase it.

‘To think he volunteered to be his escort knight on a topic like this… .’

Helga couldn’t help but raise her head.

Tristan was standing just inches from her.

The man she was madly in love with was right in front of her nose.

“brother… .”

Helga’s heart started racing.

His mouth opened slowly.

“That’s why it’s difficult to die on your own.”

“… I do not like it. no… . My life belongs entirely to my brother… .”

“If it is mine, cherish it even more. Don’t risk your life for something like me.”

Having said that, Tristan added nonchalantly.

“If you can keep that, I will reconsider your disposition.”

It was an opportunity.

her last chance.

Helga said in a trembling voice.

“… Then what will I do if my brother dies? I am… . If that happens, I won’t be able to keep my promise to my brother. I will die following in my brother’s footsteps… .”

“I will never die.”

There was no reason or basis for that statement.

It may have been half a whisper.

But there was a strange power in those words.

“so… . Don’t die without my permission either.”

“… … Yes.”

Helga could only nod quietly.

Because that’s what he says.

Since he told her not to die, she was now incapable of dying.

“I know… . I promise… .”

“yes… .”

As if satisfied with her answer, Tristan muttered in a clear voice.

“In my conclusion… . You must be there.”

“… … .”

Helga quickly covered her face with her hands.

Because your face is hot.

Ahh… . maybe good

Not even seconds after the promise, I already want to die for this man.

It was then.

“… !”

In an instant, a gust of wind blew the umbrella away.

At the same time, Helga’s eyepatch, which was hanging precariously, was blown away.

“ah… !”

I hastily closed my eyes.

Helga was able to show Tristan all her wounds.

But I couldn’t show him any more.

It was a very pitiful wound to her who had grown stronger.

The rain and wind wet her face.

It rained and I thought it was really good.

Tristan looked down at Helga and said.

“… Are you okay?”

“Yes… . I’m fine… .”

Please don’t look this way… .

Helga desperately covered her left eye.

To her, Tristan simply threw a word.

“… Are you crying ‘again’?”

“?!”

It was a very casual tone.

However, the words caused a great stir in Helga’s heart.

When he looked up, the same face as usual was looking down at her.

yes… . My brother treats me like this… . I’ve been watching you all along.

“… Black.”

He could feel the warm rain trickling down Helga’s cheeks through the cold rain.

Tristan is… . I knew it long ago.

*

… Did I say something wrong?

In front of Helga, who burst into tears, I was lost in thought for a moment.

Helga, who heard the news earlier, suffered from tears and runny nose.

It’s a pity, but I’m not the character who wipes her tears.

So at first I was silent.

But this time, I can at least worry about it. At those words, Helga burst into tears.

‘Uh… … .’

It was Helga who never showed crying in the original work.

She, who did not cry despite receiving large and small wounds on the battlefield, was crying profusely.

I was crying like a child.

“Huh! brother… ! brother… !”

who is your brother

Thinking of calling Tristan ‘brother’ out of the blue… .

I might have to question her rudeness.

However, it must also be proof that Helga’s heart was driven to the point of being driven.

I decided to finish this work slowly.

“Hello… . I thought about your treatment.”

I took off my coat and placed it over her half-naked shoulders.

Perhaps surprised by the body heat remaining in the coat, her body trembled under the coat.

Aslan’s vice-captain, who showed such a strong side, was such a weak girl.

I quietly opened my mouth.

“Start over with the knight.”

“Huh… Hey, are you a knight? black… .”

A face mangled with snot looked up at me.

The look was so broken that I wondered if the real girl was the Helga I knew.

no… . In fact, it may have been this character from the beginning.

I had only known her through books.

It was only after being possessed in the game that I was able to fully face her.

“Black… . Are you telling me to start over with the youngest in Aslan? black… . Anyway, such a play is so bad… .”

“no.”

I shook my head at the sobbing Helga.

“The position of the knight who escorts me is vacant.”

You should have noticed by now.

“You will have to come in from now on.”
