The bad ending of an Otome game MTL - Chapter (134)
Episode 134
“…….”
Laertes did not deny it.
“Well, of course, even if you’re like me, I get really angry at that brazen attitude, but…… Were you not ignoring me even when I usually had an argument?”
“Because it’s the same.”
“Yes?”
“It was because it was the same situation where no one wanted to take responsibility.”
My subordinate’s eyes widened at the fastball that came out of the mouth of my superior, who used to hear jokes about whether it was an iron wall because he was silent without accepting anyone scratching me.
“Tell me to keep an eye on you. Even if Her Majesty the Queen tells her to leave, make sure to stop it.”
“Yes Yes!”
Laertes left his men behind and hurriedly left the place. If I had stayed there a little longer, it seemed that I would not be able to tolerate anyone who stood in my way.

“Alston Vice-Captain! reinforcement! It’s a supporter!”
The sluggish situation changed dramatically when the remaining reinforcements of the Knights of Glamis, who had been waiting at the original dormitory, arrived.
At once, a red color flashed on Sir Alston’s face, who had been muttering with serious expressions on Casio and Moore.
About half of the arriving troops lined up along the border of the forest, and the other half advanced towards the forest.
Lord Alston shouted.
“Go straight to the east of the forest. The vice-captain will also be nearby.”
“Yes!”
Without any hesitation as to how much the situation had already been conveyed in advance, the movements of the troops were in perfect harmony.
I watched the scene silently. Beth was also looking at her with a pure exclamation, “Wow, wow.”
“This is the power of the Knights of Glamis. Is that great?”
Casio said admiringly. Next to him, Edmund spoke in a somewhat displeased voice.
“Well, there is a saying that he is the last guardian of the kingdom.”
“The one who is greater than us is the vice-captain.”
Sir Joseph intervened quietly.
“Well, in the end, unbelievers cannot judge without weapons. But if he just has a knife, he cuts everything in front of it like a radish.”
“In the first place, it would be best for an ordinary person not to encounter such a situation.”
Edmund replied in a somewhat unfamiliar voice. Because of the situation, it is better to just grunt and express dissatisfaction rather than easily cry in everything, but the symbol is really twisted. It’s admirable.
“But it has already happened. Can’t we just be purely grateful for the easy way out of the situation?”
“The situation is not at all over yet. We only defeated the enemies that were attacking us right away, but we don’t even know if we’ve dealt with them all, and we didn’t even catch the head of the enemies we warned you about earlier.”
Edmund has sharply objected. Casio shrugged.
“Oh dear. Also Sir Gloucester. It’s like a real scholar to be thorough in everything, but it’s really unfortunate that he doesn’t allow a moment’s leisure in such a situation. I feel reassured just by the presence of those reliable knights, so I just want to sit down right now.”
“I can hardly see a decent chair, so just sit down.”
“You can’t show weakness in front of Lady Emilia.”
“I don’t care whether Sir Casio Brahmanduff lays down or walks on all fours, so just relax.”
When I was told, ‘Be a lady for the rest of my life,’ I was a little nervous. To say the least, very little. I think men’s eyes are different. But it was only then.
I was relieved by Casio’s attitude, who was babbling light nonsense with his usual smile. No, I was a little skeptical.
Why are you doing that? After this case is over and you give me the rest of Ophelia’s letter, I’m a little nervous about what I’ll be doing.
It was then. A small wagon rolled out of the forest out of context.
Rather than a carriage, it was an object that was covered with a black tarpaulin that had been lightly greased with oil on a slightly larger wagon.
The soldier who pulled out the wagon carefully, looking around, whispered to Alston.
Alston pondered something and looked at me with a serious face.
“…… Lady Emilia.”
“Yes?”
“that…… Can you lend me your ear for a moment?”
“Yes, do it.”
Sir Alston whispered to me.
“Lady Elodie and Her Majesty the Princess are in that carriage.”
When I heard that, my eyes widened.
The wagon, which could barely be seen as a wagon, did not look like it could hold more than one person.
I could see other soldiers picking up wagons and horses that had run away tremblingly and brought them here, pretending to be casual.
I lowered my voice and answered.
“Didn’t you take refuge out of the forest? Treatment is urgent… … .”
“…… The tactics of unbelievers are contagious. Treatment is not that easy. In addition, there is a possibility that an enemy army disguised as unbelievers or civilians may hide in this moment by forcing someone to cross the forest boundary hastily.”
Next to the shabby wagons were other wagons pulled from the forest. Sir Alston glanced at the wagons and said.
“However, it seems that the situation is not so serious right now…….”
Sir Alston killed the voice. I looked at Casio and Edmund, looking at me with a calm face, but with an indecipherable look, and calmly clenched my lips.
“…… What am I supposed to do?”
“Thanks to the reinforcements for coming, I will give out my escorts and clear the road when I am in a quiet state for a while, so please get on the wagon like Beth Youngae and get out of the way. It’s a secret who’s inside.”
“Where to go…….”
Alston looked into my eyes with a subtle look.
“…… There aren’t many places where you can take the two of you with peace of mind under the current circumstances.”
“…… Isn’t the only problem that happened to unbelievers?”
Alston made a complicated face.
“The vice-captain will tell you the details later, but…… Most of the sacrifices appearing in the forest now are the victims of disappearances in the capital.”
“…… !”
“It’s still just speculation, but we know that the Guard Knights or the forces inside the capital…… It is expected that they are in internal communication with the kidnapping forces. therefore…….”
“…… You can’t trust anyone easily.”
I lowered my voice and whispered, but felt my heart beating faster.
“Ha, but Sir Laertes moved with Lady Elody and His Majesty the Princess. If anyone saw it… … . Wouldn’t you suspect Sir Laertes if I ever get out? Besides, if the unconscious princess, His Majesty, goes wrong, the royal family… … .”
I was startled as I continued to exhale like a rapid-fire cannon in a low voice.
Why was there no escort troops by the princess’s side?
With us back then?
No matter how naive she is, when she comes to a dangerous hunting contest.
It was said that the inside of the forest where the queen and the archduke were located was the safest. I heard that the Guards Knights troops were almost gathered.
No matter how many high-ranking nobles participate in the hunting competition, there are only three royalty. Even if the princess is said to be the least powerful of the three, does it make sense for a maid or maid to follow without a single escort knight?
Why did the queen make the princess stay with us? Wrapping it up with coercive words?
Moreover, there was no word that the Archduke or the Queen suffered serious damage.
It is said that luck followed and Lord Laertes saved me, but even I was fine. Was it a coincidence that Elodie and the princess were attacked unluckily at that time?
Who was the enemy that persistently pursued me as I ran away?
Thump, thump, the beating of my heart was so loud that it seemed like it could be heard by others.
I swallowed my breath, trying to stay calm.
“…… Where should I go?”
Alston was silent for a moment.
“…… It’s really hard to tell Lady this, but… … .”
I knew the answer without listening. There is not much space to secretly keep Elodie and the princess, who have been unconscious, and also suffered by unbelievers.
A place with authority so that no one can come in to search for no reason, knowing all the circumstances, and being able to stand by Laertes Hope and Elodie.
I gripped the skirt with my fingers tightly.
The place I left without looking back with my own will. Where he and I grew up. This is the place where this complicated thread that we cannot tell whether it was a bad match or inevitable.
I…….
“This is the Marquis of Windrose.”
A place I thought I couldn’t have.
I closed my eyes tightly for a moment. My mind was dizzy. It was as if I had been basking in the midsummer sun for hours on end.
“… I am.”
My throat was dry and my voice was not coming out properly.
“I am staying in the townhouse of the Brahmanduff family. Now, the reason to stop by the Marquis of Windrose… … .”
“…….”
Rather than persuade me to be Moore, Sir Alston kept his mouth shut. My voice was empty even to my ears.
Yeah, it wasn’t the time to whine like a child that he didn’t want to go.
I got involved in a dangerous thing, and a person may die.
Even the princess’s affairs are entangled, so even if you’re the Marquis of Windrose, you won’t be safe if you make a mistake.
“What secret talk are you making so straightforward, Lady Emilia?”
Casio approached me as if a shadow was cast on me while I was basking in the midsummer sun. Sir Alston took a step away from me.
“It’s not like a secret talk. You cared about me.”
Casio’s eyebrows narrowed when he looked up at his purple messy palms.
“Are you okay?”
“It’s not like I’m terrified of a place where people are dying.”
“It’s tough, Lady Emilia. Lady Emilia tends to care too much about her own problems.”
“Anyway, now…… situation. It’s difficult to claim someone’s convenience after all, isn’t it?”
Not knowing what he was trying to say, Casio made a questionable face. I swallowed dry saliva.
“Yongkee, Sir Alston takes care of me and says he can secretly get a wagon out of me. I was talking about it.”
“Five.”
“It’s a consideration only for weak ladies.”
I smiled like it was nothing. Casio’s smiling eyes didn’t look any different from usual, but they were strangely sharp. Do you doubt it? do you want to doubt
“Even now, Lady Emilia is taking refuge in a safe place, it’s my hope, but… .”
Casio wiggled his tail.
“… I didn’t expect that Sir Alston of the Knights of Glamis would be comfortable with this, didn’t I?”
