The Necromance of Love and Death: Defeated Early in the Game, I Reincarnated as a Tragic Villainous Noble and Rebel Against the Scenario with My Beloved Using My Modern and Game Knowledge - Chapter 5

CHAPTER 5: The Vow

“Young master, these are the best woodworkers and blacksmiths in our area.”

After resting in my bedroom for a while, the old man, who decided to call Grandpa, quickly arranged for the craftsmen.

As expected of Grandpa, he works very fast.

These craftsmen will make temporary prosthetic arms and legs for me. Later, they will also make combat prosthetics.

Well, since combat prosthetics will take time, I’ll first get regular prosthetic arms and legs for everyday use.

I’ve lost my hands and feet, as you can see. Easy ones will work. I require basic prosthetic arms and legs. Just focus on speed rather than perfection this time. Unnecessary decorations are not needed. I told them.

“You heard him, right? Make them urgently.”

“Understood,” the craftsmen agreed.

After the craftsmen measured my legs and arms, the order was completed.

Apparently, the prototypes will be ready by tomorrow. It’s faster than I expected. Well, it’s a simple order, so it should be easy work for the craftsmen.

I want the combat prosthetics as soon as possible, but since I’ll be using my knowledge from my past life, it might take time. Verbal explanations have their limits, so it would be better if I prepared some diagrams.

So he spent the rest of the day drinking magic recovery potion and drawing the diagrams for the prosthetic arms and legs.

By the evening of that day, those who had been ordered to retrieve my parents bodies returned.

I was advised not to look at the bodies due to their severe damage, but I still faced my parents. Their bodies in the coffins were significantly damaged, as reported. 

“What a pitiful sight…”

Seeing their bodies, I was strongly reminded that they were truly gone. I couldn’t help but burst into tears.

“Unheal…”

As I chanted in a whisper, dark purple particles of light enveloped Father and Mother’s bodies.

When the mist-like purple light cleared, my parents appeared unscathed.

“Unheal” is a magic that heals the bodies of the deceased. However, no matter how perfectly the bodies are healed, their souls cannot return.

I could manipulate the bodies of my parents like puppets. I could even make them hug me once more.

But without their souls, they would just be like puppets.

Moreover, I could not bring myself to use my parents bodies for my own satisfaction.

“Father, Mother…”

Before I knew it, I fell down on my knees and clung to their coffins.

The tears just kept flowing, and I couldn’t control them.

“Why, why did this happen?”

Deep down, I knew the answer. I knew why this had happened and who had plotted such a despicable act.

“I will avenge you. I swear…!”

I vowed revenge upon seeing their lifeless bodies.

The next day. When I woke up in the morning, I got dressed and immediately visited Vio’s room.

“Miss Vio is still resting,” the maid said.

“I know. I’m here to wake her up.”

Ignoring the maid’s gentle refusal, I made my way into Vio’s bedroom.

The room was decorated in a girlish style with white and pink. In the center was a canopy bed where Vio is lying down.

“Good morning, Vio. It’s morning.”

As I opened the canopy, I saw Vio lying quietly. It was unusual for her, who often slept restlessly.

“Well, of course…”

Though I didn’t want to say it, without my magical power, Vio was just a corpse. She wouldn’t move.

I climbed onto the bed and touched Vio’s cold forehead. Then I began to pour magic into her.

Immediately, Vio’s eyes snapped open. It was rare for Vio, who usually had trouble waking up.

I guess this will be normal from now on…

“Kuro? Where am I…?”

As Vio turned her head and realized she was in her bedroom, she smiled mischievously.

“What’s the matter? Do you want to sleep together like we used to?”

“No, it’s time to wake up. I’m here to wake you up, sleepyhead.”

“Oh, that’s a shame.”

What’s a shame? You didn’t want to sleep with me, Vio?

“I’m getting up now. Please step outside while I get dressed.”

“Got it.”

I got off the bed and left the rest to the maid.

As I left Vio’s bedroom, I couldn’t hold on any longer, and I fell on my knees 

“Young master!?”

“Grandpa, get me a magic recovery potion.”

“Right away!”

While drinking the bitter potion that the old man brought out, I thought that it was hard to rely on magic that has its limit, but Vio’s existence is at stake, and I couldn’t neglect it.

After some time, I stood up and rested on the sofa in Vio’s room.

At times like this, it’s actually helpful that women take longer to get ready. Usually, it’s unbearably boring.

“Sorry to keep you waiting, Kuro.”

Thirty minutes later, Vio appeared from the bedroom wearing a light purple dress.

“Vio, you look lovely today.”

“Thank you.”

Enduring my trembling legs, I stood up to escort Vio.
