Rhine Stories

Rainy days are the weather Clinesed hates the most.

Especially like now, how much she hopes to lose her annoying hearing, so that she can close herself in her inner world.

"Ugh...ah..."

On the ground in front of her eyes, the blood gradually melted into the pond, and the suffocating coldness all over her body did not make her give up, but the sharp stake that pierced her whole body suddenly under her feet made her stop for a while.

"Then let Yu see what kind of monster you are."

In front of her, the middle-aged man with platinum-blonde long hair raised his head high and looked down at her, as if Clinesid was a loser now. There is nothing in front of you.

"Uh... ah... woo..."

But at this moment, Clinesed didn't struggle any more. She watched her blood flow along the sharp pile to the ground, and she only thought about why she couldn't die, her body was destroyed like this, why she still couldn't die.

"..."

On the other side, Danik, who was following Vlad III, looked at her in astonishment. Isn't this woman exactly the Charmant whom he met in Germany 20 years ago?

"Do you have anything to say? You might as well say it."

At this time, Vlad III suddenly said in a commanding tone, showing the demeanor of a king, "As an invader, you rushed into the city of Mirenia recklessly. Do you have any purpose?"

"..."

For a moment, his golden eyes stared blankly at the ground, the rain had already wet his cheeks, but he didn't know if he was crying.

"Heart...I want...heart..."

Gradually, the monster from Germany cried out, holding the sharp stake with trembling hands, and lost all the broken strength.

"Saving people...I want to save people...I...Fried..."

Afterwards, I don't know how long this state lasted. When Clinesed woke up again, she was taken in by the Yogdomerenia family, but was locked on the bed like a supervisor.

"..."

And the black-haired Burgundy princess seemed to have lost hope, lying on the bed all the time, staring at the ceiling, saying nothing, and refusing to eat.

But now that she can rest in the city of Mirenia, Vlad III kindly took her in for the sake of her common belief with him.

But, what should she do next?If she can't get the heart, she can't save him...

"Is the person you want to save... Siegfried?"

I don't know how long it has been resting, a man is standing by the bed, he is the head of the Yugdomerenia clan.

"..."

However, Clinesed didn't answer him, but just looked at the ceiling calmly.

"...20 years ago, I met you in Germany."

At this time, Danik changed the subject and tried to communicate with Clinesed, but this really aroused the black-haired woman's reaction.

"20 years ago...Germany..."

At this moment, Clinesed was slightly surprised, and turned her head to look at the man, recalling the sea of ​​fire that night and the corpses everywhere in her mind, "I don't know you..."

And a plain sentence quickly extinguished Clinesid's interest. Originally, she didn't want to communicate with humans other than that person, and now she mentioned Siegfried to her. The man's memory was blank, and her heart Having affection is not infatuation either.

"...what you want, Siegfried's heart... is something no one can get close to."

After two attempts, Darnic found that Clinesid still dismissed him, so he said to her, "That heart is protected by an ancient text, and even our king can't get close to it, let alone you."

"...Writing... Is it the magic that your Yoggodomirenia clan is proud of?"

At this moment, Clinesed turned her head, trying to get out what Darnic said.

"Although I can't bear it, I'm sorry that you can't get close to it."

At this time, Danic took a step forward and untied one of the restraint belts on Clinesid, "So I want to reach an agreement with you, and I hope your blood can enter our Yogdomerenia clan."

"..."

Immediately, a shadow was cast on Clinesed's face, but she tried her best to suppress herself and instead asked, "Is this what Vlad III meant?"

"Of course not, it's my own idea. You are a monster that is closer to perfection than any creature in this world. What I want is that bloodline."

With that said, Danic took a step back, raised his head and said, "Now the entire city of Mirenia has been staked by the king, and your range of activities is only on this bed, but Clinesed, if you agree On this condition, I can agree to help you get Siegfried's heart."

"...So, Vlad III still doesn't know about your idea..."

At this moment, Clinesed clenched her fists tightly, but Danik didn't notice.

"Compared to the first time I saw you 20 years ago, you look a lot more haggard now. Is it because you have been in contact with humans for a long time and have become fragile?"

At this time, Danik recalled, "20 years ago, your strength was far superior to that of the allied forces of several countries. I don't think you will forget how you killed people that night, right?"

"..."

Hearing this, Clinesed turned her head and frowned displeasedly, "Don't pretend like you know me well."

"Hmph, of course I don't know about you, but I'm very interested in you, Kleinshed, how did you become a monster after Siegfried's death? Or do you still retain a bit of humanity even after becoming like this? ? Now you are close to perfection, and being close to humans will only tarnish your existence."

"...I'm close to perfection? This is just your wishful thinking."

At this time, Clinesid showed a fierce look, but Darnic was not afraid.

"No, you are such an existence, you are immortal, and your abilities are too much beyond ordinary people, but you haven't discovered—"

As he said that, Danic's next words made Clinesid completely murderous.

"Klinesid, turn me into a monster like you, so you won't be afraid that no one will understand you."

"..."

"Human nature is a mess, and you have surpassed ordinary people's perception, why bother—"

Suddenly, Danik couldn't see Clinesed's movements clearly, but just watched the black-haired woman stretch out her hand towards him, and at the moment when she was overwhelmed by force, Vlad III's sharp stake had already pierced his body, Together with Clinesed in front of her, the Burgundian woman broke free from the restraints in an instant.

"I—want to be human!!"

Clinesid let out a roar in an instant, but Danic under her had already been pierced by the thorns and died long ago, "How can you know me...! It's impossible if you go the wrong way once Looking back... I-I wish I had never seen him!!"

With a sudden sway of an arm, the sharp stake was knocked away by himself, and Clinesed was free.

"I... want to die as a human... Now this body... can't even die, how do you know that humans are good?!"

At this moment, Clinesed's blood flowed along the stake to reach Nick's body, gradually merging into his flesh and blood.

"Since I can't get the heart...then I...let's die with that man."

At this time, Clinesed was like a walking dead, leaving Danik's body, but no matter how Vlad III's sharp stake came up again, Clinesed struggled until the moment he broke out of the window, the whole room It was all a bloody scene.

—Like...the ritual of the devil.

"..."

Unknowingly, Clinesed took a breath, and returned to reality from the memory, looking at the city of Mirenia immersed in the night.

"Vlad III...that person is as respectable as a benefactor and friend to me, but Danik...it was my miscalculation to make you like this."

After finishing speaking, Clinesid crossed her arms and looked at the city of Mirenia as it was hundreds of years ago, but her state of mind is different now.

"At that time, I failed to save him, so I went back to seek death in despair...

But this life saved by Leticia, I can't waste it...

Since I can't get my heart, I won't let anyone get it. 』

At this time, Clinesed was about to take a step, but she suddenly stopped and looked behind vigilantly.

"..."

At this moment, she didn't know if it was an illusion, but Clinesed always felt that someone was staring at her secretly, and that breath was always somewhat familiar.

"So you are Clinesed."

But at this moment, the figure hidden in the darkness didn't care about being noticed, instead he took a step more calmly, revealing his figure under the moonlight, "It seems that our goal is also Siegfried's heart, you It is my enemy."

"..."

For a moment, Clinesid looked behind vigilantly, watching the person slowly appearing, and couldn't help but be stunned. Her long blond hair looked pale in the moonlight, and her face was bloodless as if she was dead. It seemed that she was familiar, but her delicate appearance was exactly the same as someone she was familiar with, until Clinesid's eyes widened, and she said a name in shock—"...Ladycia."

"..."

Immediately, the blond woman frowned, but those golden eyes were actually not similar to Leticia, "Don't mistake me, Clinesed, my name...isn't Leticia. "

As soon as the words fell, the moment the woman touched the wall, dazzling flames erupted from the room, approaching Clinesed.

"flame?!"

Clinesed instantly felt the scalding heat attacking her, and in a blink of an eye, there was a sea of ​​flames in front of her eyes, and people screamed and ran around crazily.

"Hahahahahaha! This is really interesting, the scream of human fear is the most beautiful sound in the world, isn't it?"

In the sea of ​​flames, the woman laughed triumphantly in front of her, causing Clinesid to fall into confusion, which was really unacceptable.

"...Are you challenging me? Who are you?!"

"...Me? That's right... Actually, I haven't got a name yet... But since you recognize me as that Leticia, I'll call it that."

Saying that, Leticia spread her hands, and the huge fire dragon gathered behind her, ready to go.

"who are you……"

At this time, Kleinshid squatted down, picked up an iron thorn that fell out when the house burst, held it tightly in her hand and said: "Since your goal is Siegfried's heart, I will not let you You pass here."

"That's interesting, so it doesn't matter if you are burned to death?"

As soon as the words fell, the fire dragon suddenly rushed towards Clinesed, causing Clinesed to dodge with all his strength, and then began to fight with the hot creature.

However, no matter where the flames passed, sparks would erupt from the ground and even the walls, so soon the south of Mirenia became a sea of ​​flames, alarming the people of Tuliphas.

"Tsk..."

As for Clinesed, although she quickly dodged the attack of the flames with her extremely high reflexes, she still couldn't get in front of Leticia, and even the flames pushed her further and further away, and she was gradually at a disadvantage.

Even during this time, the weapon in her hand was melted away by the flames, unable to hurt Leticia at all.

"..."

At this time, two figures were standing on a high place, watching the tragedy in the sea of ​​fire.

"Kriemhild von Burgund, that woman has Fafnir's blood, taken from her husband."

As he said that, the man turned back to the figure and said expressionlessly, "Then what do you think, Siegfried? This kind of woman cannot be forgiven."

Behind him, the silver-haired man didn't respond, he just watched the black-haired woman dodge left and right, and was fighting with the people on his side.

"That's right, how could you know otherwise, Clinesed... It would be great if this woman could return home with you when you die."

As soon as the words fell, the man put his hand on the ground at this moment, and a crack quickly extended from the ground under his palm to Clinesid, causing the building behind her to collapse instantly.

"Varied--?!"

Clinesed didn't have time to dodge it, and watched the flames and gravel fall together, making her eyes go black.
