The bad ending of an Otome game MTL - Chapter (149)
Episode 149
“I am an adult now.”
“no. I don’t like children who can’t distinguish places and use groups like idiots. However, when I look at Miss Emilia, sometimes…… It’s like watching a child who grew up so quickly.”
“In the eyes of the Countess McGinty, who is not a child?”
“But my help ends there.”
“I know.”
If it’s just about laughing at each other in the social world and accidentally crushing and ignoring people, if it’s just rumors or gossip, you can get her help just like the last time at the Debut Tangte prom. Because that’s the original role of a chaperone.
But things got too big.
As the Countess McGinty put it, the normal socialite season is over.
Summer isn’t over yet, but who’s naturally going to send out invitations, throw a party, and bring people together? You never know when the wind of blood will blow.
If the socialite season is over or not, the roles of Countess McGinty, chaperone, and Cassio, Cavalier, are over.
However…….
“I have been greatly favored by my wife. If I can repay you later, I will repay you in any way.”
She was worried about me and asked again where I would be.
Now that I look at it, I suspect that asking, ‘Will you not become my niece and daughter-in-law’ was a gesture of entrusting myself to the Brahmanduff family’s shield for a moment?
Due to the nature of the aristocratic society, where arranged marriages are prevalent from a young age, it is not a big deal if engagements occur only once or twice and then break up.
“Madam, it’s not a big deal, but I want to ask you something.”
“Something?”
“The maid in charge of me…… How long has Kitty been in this townhouse?”
“Oh, that kid. Well, it wasn’t that long ago. The lively and young one will be of the help of Miss Emilia, and Casio said that he was chosen by the chief of the maid.”
“i See.”
“Why are you asking that? Did he make a mistake?”
“no. cute… … Staying here gives me a lot of affection. I was curious about his career.”
“If she says it’s okay, I can write a letter of introduction so she can follow along if Miss Emilia changes her place later.”
“…… Then I will go and tell you.”
“Well, young people should play with young people. Even if it was just for a short time, we continued to go together, so it seems like we have a close relationship.”
Instead of answering, I just smiled.
In each noble family, maids and servants of ordinary rank, not servants who had worked for a long time, were scouted and moved together if the customer wanted them.
I’d be rude if I said I’d take a maid or a maid to attend the Countess McGinty, but Kitty doesn’t have a high rank, she’s young and she doesn’t seem to have much experience.
no doubt about it Kitty cared for me and protected me……. Unbeknownst to me, speculation arose.
Was it Casio’s intention to hear me through Kitty even if I left the townhouse?
“…… I plan to leave the capital for a while. No matter how much my children care about me, Won. Until the matter calms down, I’m going to stay in the villa I mentioned earlier and enjoy a leisurely vacation. If you have any ideas, don’t worry, Miss Emilia will be happy to come down anytime.”
“Thanks for the favor.”
“Don’t forget that I’m always welcome if you change your mind.”
“I don’t know young Sir Brahmanduff, but the Countess McGinty is like a godmother to me.”
“Won, Abu.”
Countess McGinty smiled at me, her eyes wide open, as if she didn’t feel bad while saying that. I just laughed.
The Countess McGinty was a respectable lady. For a while, I learned a lot from her. Whatever happens in the future, I hoped that at least I wouldn’t have any feuds with her.

“That, uh, it can’t be.”
Upon hearing the king’s orders, the Marquis’ face turned pale.
“Laertes has now been summoned to the royal palace. You have to eat right now.”
The marquise’s face was cold.
“No, that’s absurd. You know that Elodie is innocent… … .”
“It is the evidence, not the heart, that is important.”
“Oh, so you mean to hand over that kid who is lying down right now?”
The Marquis barely spoke with a pale face as if she was about to collapse. But the Marquis shook his head with a determined face.
“no. Even if we put those two together in the current situation, we can’t escape our doubts. Besides, this is a trap no matter how you look at it.”
This is a secret that Emilia kept until she stopped by in the middle of the night on purpose.
In addition, although ordinary servants were strictly prohibited from entering the room where the princess and Elodie were, the marquis and the marquis tried hard enough to examine the patient’s condition, but there were still limitations.
He did not know when the king’s orders would attack the knights to search for the marquis.
“No matter how much king you are, you won’t be asking Laertes’ face to search the Marquis of Windrose without any evidence right now.”
As soon as the king’s order was issued, the entire capital turned upside down. Of course, the Marquis of Windrose wasn’t worth talking about any more.
“However, if the fact that we are protecting the two of them leaks out, our family will become the family that hid the traitor!”
Marquis Windrose’s jaw trembled. The Marquis grabbed the arm of the Marquis’s wife, who trembled with dizziness.
“Uh, when I wake up, I don’t know when I might wake up…… Where…….”
“Anywhere!”
Seeing the marquis’s confused face, the marquis opened her mouth with a determined face as if she had made up her mind.
“I’m not enough to have a real daughter, so are you going to lose even my stepson?”
“…… !”
“The horse is a stepson, if we’re wrong now, Laertes’s wrong too!”
The Marquis hesitated for a moment, then swallowed his saliva and opened his mouth.
“…… Emilia, how did she feel when she came to this place?”
“…….”
The Marquis was silent. Even now, when I think of that time, my heart stops.
Emilia’s pale face and messy clothes. The limbs were full of scars… … . It must have been that he had come out of Hell and looked miserable.
If I hadn’t been able to suppress myself even a little bit, I would have run away right away, grabbed that body, and cried out, what the hell is going on.
But the moment he saw Emilia’s face, he stopped. I could tell just by looking at his face. That she didn’t come because she wanted it or because she liked it.
just because it has to be There must be a reason for that, so I must have suppressed my heart.
Emilia was like that. A long time ago, when I was very young, there was a time when I ran wild as if all of that was useless, but at some point I became very quiet.
I did what I had to do quietly without showing anything I didn’t want to do.
Emilia’s black eyes seemed to see that moment. So, the Marquis became distant for a moment. It felt like my heart was dropping.
Why is that kid over there now? in that state?
Seeing those black eyes, I almost asked myself.
do you still hate me Even if I die, I don’t want to see you?
It was a ridiculous idea. I’d still hate it. I wouldn’t like to see it either. However, I still worry about the marquis, so I wonder if that’s why I came here. Whether it’s because of Laertes or whatever… … . I wonder if there is a slight regret. I wanted to hang around and ask.
But that didn’t happen. The only thing the Marquis could say was that she should get treatment and go.
Elodie, whom I cherished like my own daughter, is dangerous, and even a princess of the royal family is next to her with similar symptoms.
I really didn’t want to hear as much as I said ‘I’m fine’ casually with that messed up mess. It felt like my chest was being scratched with a rake.
Seeing the marquis’ wife with a blank face, the Marquis spoke again as if he had made a promise.
“You have to eat your heart out. If you fall here again or lose your mind, there’s really nothing you can do about it. No matter what you get up and say later, I will do what I have to do.”
The Marquis asked like a complaint.
“honey…… me, i… … maybe good? maybe like this… … ?”
“Eat your heart out. You have to do what you have to do.”
The Marquis said firmly.
“I’m going to make sure that the servants are locked in, and somehow get the two of them out of their seats. We must find shelter.”
“…….”
“In times like these, you have to be casual. We have already become a family that supported Young-ae, who is wanted as the chief of unbelievers, so we have to pretend that we didn’t know anything on the surface.”
“But how?”
The Marquis covered my face with both hands.
“Everyone, everyone knows?! How kind and gentle Elodie was! I was a kid who couldn’t say a bad word! Before coming to the capital, a young girl who grew up from nothing… … ! Everyone knows this is really, really, nonsense. How could I confiscate the face of the girl I said I would cherish like my own daughter… … !”
“Our family is already caught up in this typhoon!”
The Marquis exclaimed.
“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that gentle girl, but we have no evidence and they don’t wake up! Your Majesty the King has awakened, and rebelling against that order is itself a sin!”
“…….”
“Remember clearly. We don’t have one or two things to protect.”
The Marquis held the Marquis’s wife’s hand tightly.
“We have to hold out until this typhoon passes.”
