But Théoden was not utterly forsaken. The knights of his house lay slain about him, or else mastered by the madness of their steeds were borne far away. Yet one stood there still: Dernhelm the young, faithful beyond fear; and he wept, for he had loved his lord as a father.

“Hinder me? Thou fool. No living man may hinder me!”
Then Merry heard of all sounds in that hour the strangest. It seemed that Dernhelm laughed, and the clear voice was like the ring of steel. “But no living man am I!”

I do think, it is not really the reveal that make the scene work in the book, but her sang froid in the presumably hopeless situation. But then, I've known who Dernhelm is so long my ability to judge the impact of the reveal is probably long gone

DERNHELM TIME
After eating briefly at Edoras, Théoden now turns east and leads his riders at speed along the road to Minas Tirith.
Théoden decided to leave Merry behind—he was asked to protect the hobbit, not take him to war—but a rider named Dernhelm carries Merry, hidden under his cloak.
