The Only Ending for the Evil Count Pig Is Destruction

63 – Scene 063# Aslan

*

Noble families with large territories in the empire inevitably have enlisted soldiers.

Private soldiers were mainly responsible for maintaining public order and suppressing riots within the territory, and their power was proportional to the power of the family.

Among them, Ruelberta’s soldiers, the Steel Lion Knights, also known as ‘Aslan’, were an unrivaled group.

In terms of size, they boasted the largest force among private soldiers in the Empire.

In terms of troops, they were fewer in number than the Imperial Army, but their influence was more than that.

In particular, Aslan’s status was very high among the small countries adjacent to the Meikahel Empire.

Unlike the peaceful empire, the small countries scattered along the border have not had a single day of silence due to the attacks of monsters since long ago.

As a result, the small countries constantly requested help from the Empire, but the Empire turned a blind eye to it.

This was partly due to the Empire’s insistence on the policy of seclusion and minimal exchanges with foreign countries, but in fact, many of the empire’s citizens opposed the dispatch of troops.

As the long peace continued, an atmosphere of reluctance to war prevailed within the Meikahel Empire.

No one wanted to make unnecessary sacrifices for other countries.

Unexpectedly, it was the Ruelberta family who reached out to the help of the small countries in such a situation.

The Ruelbert family has dispatched Aslan, an enlisted soldier, to a foreign country to help wipe out the monsters.

Thanks to this, the status of Ruelberta and Aslan in foreign countries was high, and friendly exchanges were able to continue.

And I thought it would be time for them to appear in front of me.

I greeted them in front of the mansion.

Aslan’s knights approaching on horseback spotted me and got off their horses.

They all wore black military coats and iron lion masks.

They approached me with modest steps, took off their masks and bowed to me.

Among them, a tall man who seemed to be the leader raised a fist to his chest and shouted.

“Aslan’s leader, Wily Vives. By order of the head of the household, we wiped out the monsters in Oriole and just returned!”

It was a booming voice.

I calmly praised them for their hard work.

“I went to a far place and suffered a lot.”

“no! We are the Empire’s strongest Steel Lion Knights! Is there any trouble!”

“… How much was the damage?”

“Yes. Except for a few injured, all of them survived!”

“Right… . Let the wounded be treated by my own therapists.”

“I’m so sorry!”

Aslan’s leader, Wiley Vives, who bowed his head to me like that, was the same as the original.

He was an impressive man with dark skin, curly hair that grew like a mane, and a sparse beard, befitting his nickname ‘Beast’.

His appearance, where you can feel the wildness all over his body, oozes the dignity of a leader of Aslan’s knights.

Aslan, led by Wily, was performing so well that it was often compared to the mighty Imperial Guard.

Unlike the Imperial Army, Aslan was growing greatly based on many practical experiences.

Now, in this country, there would be no group other than the Imperial Army that could deal with Aslan.

I spoke in front of the loyal Knight Commander, Wily.

“But seeing as there are injured, it must have been a formidable opponent.”

“ah… .”

At that, Wiley scratched his head.

“It is not. As expected, we encountered a group of wyverns… . Of course, because it was the territory of the wild griffon, the surprise attack was allowed. Well… . It was my mistake.”

“Nope. It’s not like that… .”

Wiley was about to lower his head when an unexpected voice interrupted.

“It’s not your fault, Captain. It’s my fault for not doing the research properly beforehand.”

The first emotion I felt after recognizing the main character of the voice was happiness.

No, now that I think about it, now that I’ve become Tristan, I don’t know if I should say it’s scary.

Hidden behind the gigantic Wily, she approached me.

A dignified woman with an eyepatch covering one eye, I muttered her name.

“Hello… .”

“I, the vice-captain, will be responsible for all the mistakes made on this journey.”

Aslan’s vice-captain, she bowed her head.

I shook my head, not intending to rebuke anyone in the first place.

“stop. I’m not asking to punish anyone. It would be fine if everyone came back alive.”

“… I apologize.”

Helga bowed deeply.

That tight posture could be said to be the image of Aslan’s vice-captain.

Wiley, who was next to him, opened his mouth to lighten the mood.

“By the way, my lord… . You seem to have lost a lot of weight that I haven’t seen before?”

“… There were some things like that.”

I had no choice but to lose weight because I was overcoming death and doing exercises that were close to my limit every day.

Wiley, completely unaware of the situation, smiled lightheartedly and said.

“Hot hot! Wouldn’t that be a good thing! In just a little while, the head may return to his former self!”

“… Flattery was done. You’ve put in a lot of hard work, so go back and rest.”

“Deposit!”

Wiley backing away neatly.

He was a quick-witted man in many ways.

It seemed like he was saying unnecessary things, but he didn’t even hold on to his words.

From my point of view, he was one of the easiest and most comfortable people to deal with.

“Then let’s go in! We will come back when the maintenance is over!”

“Well.”

Wily saluted me and got on the horse with Aslan’s knights.

Their appearance was dignified like Aslan, the Iron Lion Knights who boasted mighty arms.

As they disappeared on horseback, I opened my mouth.

“… … But why aren’t you going back?”

Aslan’s vice-captain, Helga Wolfbert, stood by me until the others left.

Most of all, it’s strange, if not strange, that no one objected even though she stayed.

Helga’s mouth opened.

“Huh? I don’t know what you mean. I just finished my vice-captain job and returned to my day job… ?”

Helga speaks eloquently.

Oh, indeed… . Tristan deserves to hate it.

If it was the Tristan of the original story, I would have asked the same question.

“… Your main job?”

“yes. The vice-captain is always my side job. Isn’t my original job an escort to protect the Count? Whoop whoop.”

Seeing Helga say that, she even looks happy.

She is Helga Wolfbert, the henchman of the villain Tristan in the game.

He is the only character who stands by Tristan’s side from beginning to end, and is a loyal character who has no possibility of betraying him.

Even so, I couldn’t help but feel reluctant about her.

“you… . How long are you going to call yourself my escort knight?”

“I don’t mind calling myself. In this world, only I am qualified to protect the Count.”

There was not an inch of lies in Helga’s words.

She can’t lie to Tristan.

Rather, it showed her self-righteous side.

“Have you forgotten what you saw? On that young day, the Count had a small notebook… . No, didn’t you promise the girl to become a knight?”

“I don’t remember at all.”

“Whoops. It’s okay if you can’t remember. Now that you’ve heard it, it’s no different than what the Count remembers.”

“… … .”

Helga laughed shyly, like a bridesmaid.

She is the youngest daughter of the prestigious aristocratic family Wolfbert. In a word, she is a noble lady.

Such a young lady gave up all her positions with the sole intention of becoming Tristan’s escort knight.

Not usually a jerk.

Tristan must have felt uncomfortable with Helga’s blind attitude.

Even though she was a villain who sided with Tristan, I didn’t hate her.

In the original story, Helga meets her end while protecting Tristan until the end. I liked Helga’s loyalty. I liked that sunflower-like heart that trusted and followed Tristan until the moment I died.

But Helga’s blind love was too precarious.

There are endings where Tristan dies from Helga.

And her strong desire for exclusiveness could have brought me a terrible ending.

I don’t know if I expected such a ruinous ending, but Tristan of the original story kept a distance by sending Helga frequently.

But I intend to use her thoroughly.

Make sure to read from noble mtl com

Depending on how you use it, Helga could have become the best character.

I said to Helga.

“… I never accepted you as an escort knight. I just saw your skills and made you Aslan’s knight.”

“I’m sorry if you said that. I’ve come a long way to see the Count again. Please don’t hold back your compliments on this girl. whooping… .”

Helga smiled shyly, covering her face.

It was a beautiful smile befitting a girl of her age.

He was blunt when he was the vice-captain, but his attitude changed in this way when he called himself an escort knight.

But… .

“… What are you doing?”

Now Helga was sniffing around me.

It was a fairly absurd situation, but Helga’s expression was quite serious.

“little… . Dangerous smell… . It seems to me.”

Oh sure… . Maybe it’s because I’ve been working out and sweating.

I was a bit embarrassed, but I didn’t show it.

“I will do it through exercise. Stay away.”

“Nope… . It doesn’t smell like that. This… … . It’s not that fragrant smell… . Perhaps… . The Count is better than me… … close female… . No, are there any women?”

Helga’s eyes, uncovered by the blindfold, were looking up at me.

Abyss-like eyes that didn’t let in any light were staring at me as if they were going to devour me.

It was a dangerous sign.

I narrowed my brows as I thought about what to answer.

Needless to say… . Because I found two shadows walking from the far side of the dojo.

And Helga, who had spotted them as well as me, hardened her expression.

“Hoo… ?”

It was the worst timing.
