28 – Scene 028# Revenge

jump.

When you open the door, a park created on the roof of the department store appears.

Most people were shopping downstairs, so only a few were strolling.

Blanche led me to an empty corner.

Blanche, who had been silent until then, opened her mouth.

“It seems that you have weakened a lot since I haven’t seen you. Tristan. You can’t imagine going around without an escort.”

“… … .”

“Or did you not know that I would come to visit you like this?”

Blanche removed her hand from my coat.

Then the identity of the blade in her hand was revealed.

“Look at this. You and Ruelberta made it this way.”

It was the beast’s hand.

Her hands had become the hands of a shaggy beast.

In addition, the sharp fingernails at the fingertips emitted a dangerous light.

“I can’t believe you and your family who made me like this… I cannot forgive you.”

As if in response to Blanche’s anger, his fingernails lengthen.

The fingernails were clearly pointed at me.

I sighed inwardly.

To be honest, I don’t have the confidence to beat this guy yet.

Because she was the true monster created by House Ruelberta in the past.

To borrow the expression of Tristan’s father, Milliam, Blanche is the only ‘success’.

If the annihilation maids were the shields to protect the family, Blanche was the sword to assassinate the forces that stood in the way of the family.

She was a weapon made only for killing.

In the past, Blanche, following Millium’s orders, faithfully removed the beings that stood in the way of Ruelberta.

Because she was Ruelberta’s faithful dog.

Order was absolute to her.

She had never left a single enemy alive.

When Tristan rose to the position of head of the family after Millium, Blanche was already famous enough to become famous as a murderer.

She has killed too many people.

The empire issued a wanted order and started chasing her.

In addition, as the Ruelberta family began to be suspected of being behind it, the family’s position became increasingly precarious.

Eventually, Tristan decided to cut off his tail.

The decision did not take long.

By that time, there were already few forces left that could pose a threat to the Ruelberta family.

Because her usefulness has already been lost.

Blanche is eventually eliminated at the hands of Tristan.

However, as a matter of course, the original setting is that she was alive.

“It was about this. The place where your bullets went through.”

Blanche lowered her clothes, revealing her shoulders.

Skin as white as snow.

A faint scar remained there.

“But I am alive like this.”

she was my karma

On the roof of the department store, Blanche shouted in anger.

“I lived like this and waited for the day to take revenge on you. All the way!”

“… Know.”

“If you had been engaged to Miss Bella, you could have lived.”

“… She will be your benefactor.”

“That’s right. I couldn’t make my benefactor a widow. But if it wasn’t for that, I would have torn you to pieces!”

Blanche said in a voice filled with anger.

“However, I did not know that you would break the engagement on your own. Now I don’t care if I kill you! No, I will kill you now, even for the lady’s sake. Tristan… !”

Her nails wrapped around my neck.

I felt a cool sensation touch my throat.

Even so, my ‘pride’ didn’t budge even in a situation where my life was threatened.

Because I was looking at her with my head upright.

Blanche’s hands were strained.

“If you have an excuse, do it. Tristan.”

“I never do that.”

“Yes?”

“Because everything is true.”

At my words, Blanche’s face contorted.

“Are you admitting it? what did you do to me?”

“yes. Acknowledge everything. Now, I have no intention of denying what my family and I have done. All of that is true, and your murderous intent and hatred towards me are also justified.”

I continued speaking slowly.

“I do not ask for your forgiveness. Nothing could be as ugly as that. But if you want to kill me, I will resist.”

“You mean you resist me?”

“yes.”

At my words, Blanche sneered.

“under… Did someone who can’t even use magic due to a family curse say that he would resist me, a former assassin?”

“yes. your sins are my sins It is self-evident that those who prosper by the sword will perish by the sword. I expected that one day your blade would be pointed at me.”

“… … .”

Blanche’s hands lost some strength.

At the same time, her mouth opened.

“… Then there is something I want to ask you.”

I looked at her

The sun was slowly setting behind her.

“Then, why did you hit my shoulder and not my head?”

I noticed her eyes quiver.

“Was it a cheap pity? Or was it simply a mistake?”

“… … .”

“You knew how to ‘surely’ kill me. Yet you didn’t. Why did you do that?”

I could infer the faint expectation in her eyes.

No, I could understand a little more through her words.

The character of Tristan.

If it was the old me, so… If it was me in the days when I only knew Tristan in the original work, I wouldn’t have known.

I would have tried not to understand.

The fact that he had a human side.

The fact that there are stories that I don’t know about.

‘I wasn’t a villain from the beginning.’

A peek into Tristan’s past in the world of trials.

There I understood Tristan’s anger.

I understood his despair.

[The condition has been met.]

[Tristan’s locked memories flow in!]

I opened my mouth.

Become the young Tristan who just took the position of head of the family.

“… I wanted you to live.”

“Yes… ?”

“Luelberta is a sinful family. I didn’t want you to take on the guilt of our family.”

Tristan decided to eliminate Blanche himself.

A faithful dog that only followed orders.

At least the last one should be sent by hand… I thought so.

Even if it was a selfish choice.

At the time, that was for the best.

“thanks.”

Tristan’s words, which I couldn’t say in the end, came out of my mouth.

“For being alive.”

Blanche was speechless.

was just looking at me

However, those eyes trembled with anger that had lost its direction.

“… That little girl died at your hand that day. No, to borrow your words, it was simply a tool.”

Those eyes were cold.

“But come now… Do you think I’ll forgive you for saying that now… ?”

At the last moment of the ordeal, I recited exactly what Milliam said.

“You don’t have to forgive me.”

“… … Okay. Even if you don’t say it, I will. I will never forgive you… .”

I felt an oddity.

At some point, the ambient temperature was clearly lowered.

A thick breath came out.

As if abandoned in the middle of a severe cold.

Blanche’s body also changed.

She was becoming something of an anomaly.

Evidence of heteromorphism was manifesting in all parts of her body.

At some point, in front of my eyes, there is a beastman with the ears and tail of a beast.

A lofty blue tiger and one who was called the Demon Beast of the Cold.

The beast bared its teeth at me.

“Don’t expect mercy from me… .”

A colder cold than before hit me.

As if the weather had an intent to kill me.

I took out a revolver for self-defense from my pocket.

Milliam’s gun, and Tristan’s first gun that killed my own blood.

This too was his karma.

I pointed the gun at the guy.

There was white frost at the tip of the muzzle.

Still, Blanche wasn’t frightened at all.

“Are you going to shoot me again? Don’t miss it this time. Otherwise, you will die. Tristan.”

A chill that even freezes your breath.

Her words were never pretentious.

However, my ‘arrogant’ was still only speaking calmly in that situation.

“… come. cat.”
