90 – Scene 090# Arrow Baptism

*

The day Ruelberta’s name disappeared from the Meikahel Empire.

There were heavily armed imperial soldiers in the snowy field.

Tristan, the head of Ruelberta, was killed by the hero Peter.

The power of the Ruelberta family was also thoroughly shattered by the warrior’s colleagues.

They were finally victorious in the battle against the Ruelverta family that had swallowed the empire.

But the soldiers couldn’t go any further.

Opponent is a loser.

However, all the soldiers who had charged before had become unwelcome guests.

In an unexpected struggle, they lost half of their battalion-level men.

In the end, they just kept their distance and couldn’t get close to them easily.

At that time, Cooper, the hero’s colleague, appeared with reinforcements.

Cooper, who made a name for himself as a Shinto shrine, received a salute from the soldiers.

“Report the situation.”

“That, that… .”

Cooper gazed at the vast snowfield with eyesight comparable to that of a hawk.

What he caught in his eyes were countless bodies of the Imperial Army lying on the snow.

And I found a human figure standing in the middle of the corpses.

“… Are all those who approached dead?”

“Yes… .”

“I can’t believe he was injured at all… .”

At Cooper’s words, the unit commander lowered his head as if he was indifferent.

Because the Imperial Army’s proud assault battalion was in danger of being annihilated by just one person.

“her… . that guy… .”

Cooper, who was watching the enemy closely, was involuntarily admiring it.

Because he was used to it.

“I couldn’t believe it, but Ruelberta’s crazy dog… . To think he was still alive after being hit by my poisoned arrow a few days ago.”

“It is a complete monster… . Cooper. Why don’t you just go back? If left as it is, it will freeze to death in a blizzard. Any more battles are meaningless, so it’s better to withdraw… .”

“Can not be done.”

Cooper flatly rejected the commanding officer’s words.

“Tristan’s body must be obtained. You have to set an example by beating their necks.”

“However… .”

“I will demonstrate.”

Cooper pulled out his bow.

Unlike normal bows, much larger bows boasted menacing majesty.

“An opponent is no different from a target that cannot move.”

Cooper lightly drew his bowstring.

It was a bow that could not be pulled unless it was Cooper’s strength.

With the sound of cutting the wind, the arrow in his hand magically disappeared.

When the soldiers noticed, it was after the arrow was accurately pierced by an enemy far away.

Even so, he didn’t even flinch.

“He is not immortal either. Shoot your arrows too.”

“Yes, old!”

The soldiers hurriedly took out their bows.

Cooper fired another arrow into the air.

The arrow left his hand and crossed the snowfield.

An arrow much longer and sharper than a normal one pierced Helga’s shoulder.

But Helga did not move from the spot.

Because she had to keep the man’s body in her arms.

“Count… . Sorry for being late… . My legs aren’t what they used to be… . whooping… .”

Helga said with a faint smile.

The bones of her legs were all exposed, and she had a miserable appearance.

She knew it couldn’t happen again.

But now it didn’t matter.

“I said this, but you have to scold me… . Yeah? Count… .”

No answer was heard.

Another arrow lodged in Helga’s back.

But Helga caressed the face of the man in her arms.

“Are you in a lot of pain… ? Did you suffer a lot… ? Now that I’m here, don’t worry.”

Arrows started raining down.

Arrows relentlessly aimed at Tristan’s corpse.

But not a single arrow could reach his body.

Helga’s body was wrapped around Tristan.

“I wanted to see the Count’s face one last time… . If only I could see those cold eyes once again… .”

Helga ran her hand over Tristan’s face.

His eyes, nose and mouth were touched.

The poison that had spread through her body had taken away even the sight of her remaining eye.

Not only that, but his bodily sensations were gradually fading.

There was not much time left.

Helga hugged Tristan’s body.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you in this life… .”

An arrow pierced Helga’s back.

His lungs had been pierced, and blood was pouring out of his mouth.

Still, Helga didn’t stop talking.

“Cool… . But as long as in hell, I will protect the Count… .”

Another arrow lodged in her back.

“At that time, please do not reject my heart… .”

Helga barely fumbled and kissed Tristan on the lips.

It was like a long-awaited wish come true, but unfortunately there was no sensation.

The poison had already taken away even the feeling of her lips.

The fact was so sad that Helga burst into tears.

“Huh… . Otherwise, the Count… . My brother is so lonely… . Too… . Whoa… . I feel sorry for you… .”

Numerous arrows pierced her body, but they did not hurt as much as the tears shed now.

“So even if I’m with you until the end… Is it okay?”

Helga was showered with arrows all over her body.

until her life is gone.

This was the end of Helga I saw in the original story.

*

And now… .

“there… . Count… ?”

“Tell me.”

Helga said to me very puzzled.

“Even if I don’t have to do this, I won’t resist the Count… … ?”

On the bed prepared in one corner of the studio.

Helga’s limbs were bound in chains.

“hot… ! Did you like this game?! From now on, I will be chained to the Count’s bed every night!”

Seeing what you’re talking about, I still feel like I’m in the middle of the day.

I took out a round tub the size of my palm from my bosom.

Helga’s eyes widened when she recognized that.

“What?!”

It was the ointment given to Helga the other day.

Recognizing that, Helga blushed as if she remembered what had happened.

“For me, who is in a state of non-resistance, something like that… !”

Helga twists her legs and doesn’t know what to do.

I handed the ointment to Albert, ignoring her.

“Look at this.”

“Well? Is it ointment?”

Albert, looking at the ointment, was immediately impressed.

“Oh oh… . Where did you get this from? It’s an ointment that’s as good as recovery magic.”

“… It is an ointment imported from abroad. Expensive.”

“indeed… . The world is wide. Did you have something like this… .”

Fortunately, Albert agrees with what he said in moderation. That can’t be a very comfortable excuse.

“But why did you show this to me? Besides, why is the escort tied up like that?”

“There is something I want you to see from now on.”

“Hmm?”

I slowly approached Helga, who was tied up.

Tristan’s faithful confidante, Helga, who remained until the end and met his end with him.

Although she was the vassal of the villain Tristan, her end in the original film left a strong impression on me.

Since then, I’ve been thinking about something.

It won’t be the same as the original story, but I wanted to repay Helga for her loyalty.

“Hello.”

“Yes Yes… ?”

I put my hand on Helga’s left cheek.

My hand went up her soft cheek and soon touched her left eye.

“… Now, wait! no way?!”

“Stay still.”

Helga tried to hold my hand, but was restrained and couldn’t.

I removed the blindfold covering her left eye.

“… !”

As soon as the blindfold came off, Helga turned her head away.

To cover the biggest scar left on her.

To hide your only weakness.

“Hello. Turn your head straight.”

“No… . Count. I can’t show you this much… .”

“You are mine. Are you saying that I want to see mine, but you want to stop it?”

“But… . These are uglier than the wounds on the leg… . I don’t want the Count to look into my ugly eyes… .”

Tears welled up in Helga’s eyes as she said that.

For her, the scar on her eye is a bigger complex than her leg.

So, it seems like he wants to hide it, but I didn’t accept it.

“Don’t be cocky. Do you dare to call mine ugly?”

“Not that… .”

“There is nothing ugly about me.”

“… !”

“So hello. Show me your eyes.”

Helga’s lips were tightly shut, as if she was about to cry.

And finally, her mouth opened.

“I know… . If the Count says so… .”

Helga finally turned her head.

I could see the eyes she had hidden under the blindfold.

The eyes that had lost their light were there.

“If you look too closely… . It’s embarrassing, so please look at it quickly… .”

Helga’s left eye was lost due to a mana runaway when he was young.

As a result of the aftermath, her left eye was still swaying with magical energy inside her body.

She usually suppressed it with an eyepatch, but during battle, her magic leaked out without her knowledge.

I looked at those eyes that were closed and closed again for a while and then said to Albert.

“Albert, can you cure this eye with the formula you created?”

“What… ?”

It wasn’t surprising to see the use of magic for treatment.

It was one of the most common ways to treat a wound by activating a spell.

Besides, it was something that even a craftsman, not a healer, could do without difficulty.

It was only because the object to which the spell was cast turned into a human body.

However, Albert seemed to hesitate for a moment, perhaps because of the previous incident.

But that didn’t last long.

Albert eventually began examining Helga’s left eye.

“Um… . Wounds caused by magic. It’s not impossible to stabilize the mana, but… . Even with treatment, it won’t restore your eyesight. I left it for too long.”

It was unavoidable.

The ointment I made is an item that can heal wounds rapidly.

Even severed wounds are so effective that they can be regenerated if action is taken quickly.

But Helga’s wounds were too old to heal.

Her eyes, which have been injured and healed several times since she lost her sight, will never regain their luster even if I use my ointment.

So I had one possibility in mind.

Not just the technique, but the way to do it.

I put it in my mouth that might be the only way.

“Then, is transplantation possible along with the technique?”

“transplantation? Well, if you do the transplant, your eyesight will come back.”

“Then I’m glad.”

“However, it is easy to say. There are no applicants for transplants. But looking for a donor is obviously illegal. I don’t know what the count is thinking, but if it’s unethical, I’ll refuse.”

“Don’t worry. Applicants are here.”

“There is an applicant who will give his eyes… ? here? no… . Now wait… .”

Only then did Albert understand what I was saying and was shocked.

“Count, you can’t believe it?!”

I spoke to him in a calm tone.

“Plant my eyes into her.”
