Unlikely Companion

Among those who survived the tournament in the ghost woods, Loriel later woke up and would find his wounds getting treated by a certain woman who looked at him in surprise. 

"Ah, you are awake," Hilde said with a smile and reached out to treat him again. "You are tougher than you look."

"Unhand me," Loriel slapped her hand away and glared at her. He knew that he was being rude. He was pushing this woman away but he truly didn't understand her motivations. "What do you want from me? Don't you have other men to seduce and ask for their help?"

Hilde frowned at him and sighed. "You are a terrible man who's quick to judge people. I know that I am beautiful but it does not mean that I've come to seduce people into helping me, I am also trying my best."

"Whatever," Loriel growled and stood up. He checked his body and found numerous salves placed on his body that attempted to heal him.
