The bad ending of an Otome game MTL - Chapter (144)
Episode 144
“What number did you use?”
asked the queen with a frown. As always, the old woman, who covered my body with a thin cloth, answered with her head bowed down.
“I did the best I could for the Queen.”
“Is it different from what you explained to me?”
“Not everything works for the best. If it was as it was, shouldn’t that young knight Nari be there?”
The old woman’s voice trembled strangely when she spoke of the part ‘that young knight Nari’, but the queen did not notice. The queen, with her eyebrows half raised, only pondered, listening to the old woman’s words.
As soon as she heard that the king had woken up, the queen desperately ran out of the forest.
Many things have already gone out of plan. But is the king waking up at this time?
“…… According to your description, he… … .”
“You cannot stay awake for long. In fact, you don’t even have one.”
The queen was stunned for a moment. Rather than waking up… … Doesn’t that sound like a puppet?
Rather, it was better. Of course, even if the king did indeed regain consciousness, it was unlikely that he would punish the queen for her actions. But that doesn’t mean we’ll let everything go according to the Queen’s will.
Yeah, you shouldn’t be being naive here now. The queen struggled to ignore the lingering uneasiness in her mouth.
“…… Any chance of being caught by someone else?”
“If you can’t get up from the hospital bed and only give orders while lying in bed, who would doubt? After regaining consciousness for a short time, he often goes back to sleep.”
“To make others hear that your Majesty the King has regained consciousness.”
The queen still did not erase her displeased expression. Rather than the fact that the old woman voluntarily touched the king’s body, the feeling of displeasure that she did it without notifying the queen in ‘this situation’ seemed to be greater.
“But if I hadn’t used that method, I would have been imprisoned in the forest.”
“what?”
The old woman obediently bowed her head and spoke to the terrified queen.
“As the Queen knows, the Glamis Knights have a strong authority to punish ‘unbelievers’ in this country. Moreover, Sir Laertes is famous for his uncompromising attitude. He would not hesitate to slaughter an entire village.”
“…… Do you think you would dare point your sword at me?”
“If His Majesty had not awakened, who could have prevented it?”
“…… It was difficult to make a trap to catch the anti-aircraft certainty in the yard where things had come to an end. No matter how important it was, I dared to tie up the royal family as if they were detained in the forest.”
The queen sharpened her teeth low.
“By the way, didn’t I say that in order to heal His Majesty the King, we have to fix the holy relics? Did you need that girl for that?”
“Your Majesty’s Majesty needs the power of the Holy Spirit to rise completely from his seat, but it doesn’t take much power to simply awaken an undead person for a moment. It is not enough to get up and walk and run, but only to say a few words to the mountain ox lying in bed.
“…….”
The queen furrowed her eyebrows. Something wasn’t clear.
“Then you should have told me ahead of time and got permission to have a plan like this!”
“I’m sorry. In case something goes wrong… … . And if your Majesty the King goes wrong, there will be no doubts about your Majesty as you were in the woods with the thugs.”
The queen opened her mouth to retort, then closed it again.
It was because she knew that the reason she was so angry was not because she was worried about her husband who had left her job, but because she was worried about harming herself.
“My Majesty, I grew up among the authors when I was young, I knew their tricks, and I came here to help Her Majesty, but the descendants of the Knights of Glamis are not happy.”
The old woman said in a shaky voice.
“So what? I just lost my two helpless girls, and things are messed up!”
“Now that His Majesty King Haona has come to his senses, is there any need for such elaborate traps?”
“What if they fight back and hold hands?”
The queen opened her mouth with an anxious voice.
“What if the Archduke and the Marquis Windrose accidentally join hands and start a rebellion?”
“You have to clean it.”
“Not enough troops! Even if the standing troops are gathered together, if the two hold hands… … . Isn’t all history written on the side of the victors? If they don’t get it right, they take even an illegitimate illegitimate child and block the prince’s feet, claiming that he is the rightful heir to the throne… … .”
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty is a noble Queen. When the Prince and His Majesty ascend to the throne, you will become the Empress Dowager, and you will have unparalleled authority. But are you worried about the counterattacks of your servants? Before that, do you not have the strength to put it away?”
“What power? What can I do with a single sleazy Guards Knights… … .”
The queen, who continued to pick up the horse, widened her eyes.
“…… Are you going to attack again?”
“Unbelievers have no enemies. It happened in a hunting contest where there were so many knights, so it happened in other places…….”
“What are you going to do if the tail is caught? Only then did I have a clear cause to hold onto the archduke’s ankles!”
The queen shook her head.
“No no! The risk is too great. Right now, Aloisia, even that less distant sissy is nowhere to be seen. Elodie used as a justification, before securing the stop… … .”
“We were secretly holding a ‘ceremonial’ at the Marquis of Windrose, and in the aftermath, enemies flocked and attacked the mansion from within……. How about something like this?”
The queen opened her eyes wide.
“…… Is that really possible?”
“Nothing is impossible.”
“I know that the mansion is not expensive.”
Despite the queen’s suspicious gaze, the old woman did not care.
He hid his wrinkly, skinny body that would break if someone touched it with an overly long hem of a piece of cloth.
He simply lowered his head to the floor and answered the queen’s words as if he wanted everyone to see him as insignificant.
“If you want, you can.”
“…… really?”
“Yes.”
“However, didn’t you already use your Majesty’s mouth to declare a bomb? All those who help Elodie are pointed out as thieves. Even if I didn’t say it, everyone would be watching the Marquis Windrose.”
“Hasn’t the ‘unbelievers’ in the forest already pointed to the young girl? Most of the victims of the ‘sacrificial’ were also not perfect, but many had silver hair or green eyes.”
Although the charges were forcibly stitched together, the charges against ‘unbelievers’ in the first place were fatal no matter how thin they were.
That alone was enough to get me into trouble.
The Lady, who shared and protected her at the Marquis of Windrose, is being accused of affair with an unbeliever.
This is reason enough to tie Laertes to it.
How could such a person be the head of the Knights Templar to eradicate unbelievers? It was perfect to fuel protests among the nobles.
“And, after all, once you have obtained the ‘perfect’ spirit, your Majesty the Queen has no reason to fear anything any more.”
“…….”
I knew from the time that the old woman had better abilities than it looked from the time she had abducted the victims from the capital without leaving a separate pod.
He is an aide that has been secretly by his side for a long time.
As long as he had a nephew, the only blood of the old woman, there would be no way that the old woman could deny her words, but the attitude of the old woman was strangely heterogeneous.
I think you were a little more passive in the past? Since when have you been so active? That, since the young girl named Elodie?
Obviously, there are no lies in the old woman’s words, but… … .
“…… After all, once my son succeeds to the throne, it doesn’t matter whether he has a god or not, doesn’t it?”
“Actually, I have something to tell you, Your Majesty.”
The old woman pretended to look around.
After all, when the old woman and the queen were alone, it had been a long time since no one was allowed to peek nearby, so it was just a movement to evoke the surroundings.
But the queen beckoned him to come closer and whisper in her ear.
The old woman muttered in a cautious voice.
“Did you know that there are some unused chapels in some places in the royal palace?”
“Isn’t that common sense?”
“Did you know that there is an altar where ancestral rites were held to the real goddess in the old days in the basement hidden in the backyard of the main palace?”
“…… Wasn’t that the place where I and previous queens usually held ancestral rites to have children?”
“It’s different from there. The altar I am talking about has not been used since the first His Majesty the King wrote it.”
The queen felt a strange sense of incongruity. But I thought it was just my overreaction, so I passed it on and urged me to keep talking.
“I found out in secret, that the altar is…… A place where you can wield the true divine power. If you make a sacrifice there, you will be able to obtain a truly complete divine substance, and you will be able to enjoy divine power. Insufficient troops? People’s concerns? You don’t have to worry about anything.”
The queen’s expression changed. The strength around his eyes loosened very faintly from his hard, alert face.
“…… How can you believe such a lie? Rather, if there was such a thing, wouldn’t anyone have used it before me?”
“Because the conditions weren’t right. Everyone before the queen got what they wanted. But the Queen… … Have you not been able to get what you originally wanted to achieve even after paying the price? Unlike before, the sick things have gone to gold. As confirmed in the forest, if only the baron maiden gets her hand and completes the holy thing, then nothing will become an enemy of the queen.”
“…….”
The queen was silent, as if thinking about something. But the silence did not last long.
“…… I will leave everything to you. I’ll let you know as soon as I get the girl.”
“Just leave it to me.”
The old woman showed her allegiance to the queen by bowing her back like a faithful servant.
It’s like if you don’t express yourself like this, you might get suspicious of something.
