The bad ending of an Otome game MTL - Chapter (157)
Episode 157
A familiar butler led us to the drawing room. He said that if we wait for a moment, the marquis will come out.
Young-ae, Earl of Beth, stiffened under the pressure of meeting the Marquis in person, and I drank only tea that didn’t even smell right next to her.
Even if I had a new heart, visiting the Marquis of Windrose was always something to keep my heart strong. I was nervous like a child waiting for the grading result of a messy homework assignment.
Just then, the door opened. Expecting the familiar appearance of the Marquis Windrose, I and Count Beth’s Youngae widened their eyes.
“…… Sir Laertes?”
“Hey, Sir Laertes! Were you in the mansion?”
Without realizing it, I approached him and almost grabbed him, but when he realized that Bess was beside him, he grabbed his hand that was floating in the air.
The tired and sharp-looking man saw me and smiled sweetly like a child for a moment.
I was even more embarrassed, so I hid my hands behind my back and muttered.
“…… You’ve been very busy these days, but I didn’t expect to see you here.”
“I feel like I have been given an unexpected gift, Lady Emilia. Lady Beth.”
Laertes bowed politely in greeting. Beth next to me, admiring in a low voice saying, ‘You’re so cool’, twisted my body, and hit my forearm like aegyo. I grabbed the table momentarily so as not to stumble.
“By the way, Sir Laertes, we are here today, Your Majesty…… I came to see you.”
A faint light of trouble entered Laertis’s eyes. what?
“Lady Beth.”
“Yes?”
“Is it okay if I talk to Lady Emilia alone for a moment?”
“Yes. Yes. of course!”
Lady Beth responded with enthusiasm and slammed the door shut before she could even say thank you.
“…… She is a good lady.”
“I think so too.”
“What’s going on? I can’t have sent an invitation without any reason.”
“…… I had a story to tell you, so I took the indirect method, but I didn’t want to bring you in if possible.”
“it’s okay.”
I grabbed Laertes’ shoulder, hesitating.
“Because I hate being helpless without knowing anything, doing nothing.”
Laertes looked at me and smiled slightly bitterly.
“…… okay. You were that kind of kid.”
“So please tell me.”
“The royal family is involved in this. …… Perhaps what happened during the hunting contest was a self-made play.”
“…… Yes?”
“There is no physical evidence, but a heart attack is certain. In particular, the Queen seems to have taken the initiative.”
“…… Even if the princess is her own daughter?”
Laertes confirmed my words in silence. Haha, a sound like air leaking out of my mouth.
“Whether you live well or poorly, wherever you are……. It seems that the parents who are inferior to those they do not have are not left out.”
“…… Emilia.”
“It is ironic that my situation was not much different from that of the noble princess. no. Now that I am out of my limbs, I think the Queen is worse off than that.”
“You don’t have to get hurt.”
“…….”
Embarrassed by the words that looked like they looked inside me, I stopped speaking.
Emilia’s mother and father, who can’t even remember their faces anymore. After selling her young daughter to the Marquis of Windrose, counting the money she earned, she disappeared without looking back.
That is why I, when I was young, fought with Ophelia sincerely, but on the other hand, I had no choice but to please her.
It’s a compromise to the extent that I go up to the kid’s room first with the soup bowl even if I hate it to death when I hear the voice of starvation.
because I knew To that extent, you have to ‘know it’. The educated Marquis and Marquis Windrose wouldn’t have driven me out. Yes, I had to figure out the subject myself.
Even if we fought while cursing, grabbing our hair, and tearing the hem of our clothes. There was an undeniable goal like an overflowing embankment when it rained.
Parents who use even their own daughter’s life… … . Every time I saw the queen, I remembered the eyes of the princess who had been trembling without mercy.
Laertes hugged my shoulder and whispered to me.
“It’s not your fault. Likewise, it’s not the Princess’s fault.”
“…….”
“just…….”
Laertes said in a low voice.
“I was just a victim of the selfishness of irresponsible and foolish people.”
“…….”
“So don’t be sick.”
The forehead touched and fell. The man’s short hair tickled my forehead once and then fell off. It felt like someone was tickling my heart.
“…… Now that it’s not my business, don’t you think you’re just getting angry?”
“at all.”
Laertes smiled faintly.
My feeling, like an angry cat, gradually subsided.
“I will stand by you no matter what you do.”
“…… At the very least, you have to be objective.”
“What about your business?”
As if joking, Laertes grabbed the tip of my long hair and kissed her.
“I don’t have to, and I don’t want to.”
“…… ?!”
When I saw the purple eyes that curved like a joke, it felt like electricity had passed through my whole body. The gaze of the opponent who seemed to follow me to the end no matter how much I turned my gaze was a bonus.
I covered my red cheeks with my hand and turned the topic around to talk about something important. Only then did Laertes return to her usual serious face and open her mouth.
“…… It is said that Her Majesty the Queen paid special attention to Elodie. The fact that the royal family led this raid must be confirmed in reality.”
“Then now isn’t the time to be here like this, is it?”
“right. The Marquis of Windrose is no longer safe.”
“Then Elody and Princess…….”
“I will have to move.”
“I’ll help.”
“…….”
At my words, Laertes looked at me with concern.
“Emilia.”
“As I am staying in a townhouse in the Brahmanduff family name, I can’t take you to my place, but I can help. I must have been living in a market place for about two years.”
“No. Now if you’re wrong about this… … .”
“The only thing I can protect now is the Marquis of Windrose.”
“…….”
Laertes’ eyes widened in surprise at my words.
“And, Sir Laertes.”
weird game. Fucking game. Why, in any of the endings, Casio Brahmanduff didn’t die, but Laertes Hope had a turning point where he died? Why did the Marquis of Windrose continue to be in turmoil?
“Lord Casio Brahmanduff told me not to do anything.”
“…… Did he tell you to stay still?”
“Yes. I’m a pawn on the chess board, but if I listen carefully… … I will make you a queen later.”
“…….”
Laertes’ face became complicated. I pondered for a moment.
“…… And, maybe that crazy bastard can’t believe me, so… … .”
“Emilia, what are you worried about…….”
“…… They told me to avoid it as a preliminary hostess of the Brahmanduff family.”
Hearing my words, Laertes’ eyes widened. There was blood on his collar.
“…… Uh, Laertes?”
“…… Qualifications as a prospective hostess?”
“that…… You know Sir Casio’s attitude, right? it would be bullshit Hearing that right now, I’m not sure if I’m renewing the contract now… … .”
“no.”
It was an overly quick assertion. Laertes’ face hardened.
“Wait, did I just say that?”
“…… Uh, if I had to say it, don’t sacrifice yourself for other people’s work… … . It’s like saying don’t come here, so why don’t you get hurt like a job at a hunting competition for nothing? How much?”
As my words progressed, Laertes’s face grew more serious. At the same time, I looked at Laertis.
“…… Is there any problem with me?”
“Get out of this, Emilia.”
“I beg your pardon?”
“Casio Brahmanduff isn’t the kind of guy who talks nonsense like that.”
“sure?”
“Even in that way, you…….”
Laertes wiggled his tail. It was then. All right, there was a knock on the door.
“excuse me. Have you finished talking? That’s the bass, and now there’s a loud noise outside… … 100 million! Who are you guys?!”
“Search thoroughly!”
“There are reports that a criminal is in this mansion!”
As soon as she heard the noise, Laertes immediately turned the doorknob to lock it, and stacked chairs on top of the door.
“Uh, uh, what?! No, now this… … .”
Laertes looked into my eyes, gripping me in panic and not knowing what to do.
