The bad ending of an Otome game MTL - Chapter (162)
Episode 162
* * *
It was midnight when Emilia arrived at the townhouse. The man willingly bit all the servants and came out to meet him.
Under the dim light, the smiling man’s face shone like a golden mask.
“It’s too late, Lady Emilia.”
A sudden rain shower in the middle of the night made her whole body drenched.
It wasn’t embarrassing to look at because the clothes he was wearing weren’t thin, but the white face and black hair stuck to the nape of his neck were very pathetic.
Her lips were shut, and her dark black eyes. Even though her wet clothes left water marks on the floor, Emilia didn’t seem to mind.
That fact was definitely unexpected.
Because Emilia never saw this town house as her home. As much as possible, we tried to make the users less concerned.
Yes, it is far from a noble seed, as if it had blue blood from birth. Still, while water was dripping on the floor, he just raised his voice and asked.
“How much do you know?”
“What do you mean?”
“You wouldn’t know what I went through today.”
“I don’t want to lie, but Lady Emilia. If I could definitely call you my sweet fiancée, I think I could be a little more honest.”
I saw a woman furrowing her eyebrows. The faint reluctance that smeared on that face, Casio Brahmanduff could easily read.
“What happened today to the Marquis of Windrose.”
The fingertips of the clenched fist were fading white. It was a pity that he was trying to show a calm side in front of Casio Brahmanduff so as not to be shaken, but on the contrary, he was also satisfied with that.
Hard wood does not bend, it breaks. Today’s Emilia had a precarious face like a cracked tree.
If it’s normal, it’s normal. His lady was overly polite. Saying I’m gone, I’ll never forget the Marquis Windrose.
Since I have uprooted the small roots that touch every corner of my heart, my feelings are not words. Casio guessed the woman’s feelings that way.
Emilia’s voice trembled faintly.
“…… Do you know?”
“The whole capital is buzzing, I don’t know?”
“Sir Casio Brahmanduff.”
Emilia’s voice lowered.
“Is it the work of wonder?”
“…….”
Casio was silent for a moment. Immediately after the hunting contest, Emilia asked a similar question. Casio was always curious about the meaning of Emilia.
You thought you’d tell the truth? Assuming you’re telling a plausible lie? I’ve been told that I don’t believe it. So, why are you looking for answers?
“Why do you think I would?”
Instead of answering, Emilia’s black eyes looked up at him. I thought the eyes would be impatient or criticizing, but unexpectedly, the eyes were as quiet as they were.
“If I had known that, I would have understood Sir Casio Brahmanduff a little more.”
Casio pondered for a moment at the unexpected answer.
“…… What does it mean?”
“I like Sir Laertes Hope.”
Casio stopped as if frozen.
It was strange. There was no need to react that way. It was something I could have guessed from a long time ago.
Emilia, who had been denying and pretending not to be, finally admitted it. If it had been him before… … would you have laughed? No, I would have just laughed leisurely because I knew it would. That should be the answer now.
Casio Brahmanduff isn’t the kind of guy who acts like an idiot just because he’s turned down for courtship. Yet, strangely, there was no laughter.
Even though it was raining outside, even though the days were never cold, my heart was healed. Casio Brahmanduff smiled brightly and desperately.
Even in front of the man’s sweetly smiling face in a dark room, Emilia Klee was not agitated.
“In the meantime, I have nothing to do with the Marquis of Windrose…… Did you not desperately deny it?”
“Yes. I think I thought that if I showed my regrets and became greedy, I would be defeated.”
“…….”
Today’s Emilia was strange. It was strangely honest.
She was always detached and calm, but when Casio Brahmanduff gently scraped it, she would eventually spill out the emotions in my heart one by one.
Still, Hansako has denied my regrets. If you admit it, it’s like you’re in trouble. I believed it, but I didn’t believe it.
I didn’t think I’d be able to throw it away completely, but I didn’t think I’d be able to reach out and grab it in the first place.
As much as he is obsessed with the name of Ophelia, there is no way he can honestly hang on to the remnants of a marquise like the shadow of that name.
Emilia, who decided to turn away from everything because she didn’t want to be miserable… … .
But today was different. It was strange. Of course, some changes were expected. Even the hedgehog-like shyness who tries not to find out about his weaknesses was pretty cute, but it doesn’t matter if he changes. I thought so. However…….
“…… Did you change your mind after hearing the feces of the Windrose family?”
Casio Brahmanduff’s voice was low. At first glance, it seemed like he was expressing his displeasure.
“You said you would make me a queen.”
“The offer is still valid today.”
“I am your phone now.”
“Are you sad because it’s a phone?”
“I thought you were cowardly when you asked me to be your fiancé.”
“…….”
Was Emilia a person who spoke this way? Casio opened his mouth to the unfamiliar feeling and closed it.
Strangely, I was anxious. No matter how hot the day was, I was worried that my body would have cooled down because of the rain, so the words to end the conversation did not come easily. The woman was always calm.
“It’s cowardly for someone who can’t even get on the chessboard to confess to get a piece of chess.”
“…… Aha, wasn’t the technique justified?”
Casio was a little relieved. As always, the woman seemed to question his technique.
I was used to that argument. Emilia accuses Casio around, Cassio skillfully and brazenly avoids the accusation. I thought it would go that way.
“Do you love me?”
“…….”
Casio bit his lips without realizing it. Seeing the black eyes that grabbed him like a test, he was captivated by an unusually cramped feeling. So, in response to a question that would normally have been passed on with ease, I answered it in a different way without realizing it.
“…… On my own.”
“For me, can you tell me everything I want?”
“For Lady Emilia’s safety, there are many unavoidable things.”
“Can you bring this world for me?”
“what…… Do you want to be queen?”
Emilia’s eyes narrowed.
“You are the one who can change the throne.”
“I am so grateful that you see me so highly.”
“You are always conditional. I like it, but in my own way. To the extent that it does not harm one’s plan or conception. So, what if I go out now and become your most vicious enemy? What if I become a troublemaker that blocks your way and shatters your plans?”
Emilia laughed lightly. The smile that appeared on his face, as white and light as white paper, was so strange that Casio lost his words without realizing it.
“Like changing the throne, I will throw it away.”
“It’s not like that.”
Without realizing it, Casio said urgently as if he was just making an excuse. But Emilia laughed.
“When I just said that I like Sir Laertes.”
Like I said I don’t believe it.
“You weren’t the kind of man who was broken up by the woman he liked.”
“…….”
Casio frowned unconsciously.
“Since the Marquis of Windrose already knows that revival is impossible, he is relaxed as if he is going to watch what a chess piece that can’t escape from anyway is saying, but pretends to be a little offended…….”
no. That wasn’t it. Of course, I knew that something bad was going to happen to the Marquis Windrose. To say that I was a strict bystander would be a lie. But I didn’t know that Emilia would confess with her mouth that she likes Laertes.
“…… Even though I know that the queen or the world means nothing to me, I’ll give you a reward if I stay quietly, like an adult. You say you never want to fight a losing battle. Be it love or money. I just choose not to lose.”
Emilia shook her head. Drops of water dripped from the tip of his lips.
“I used to be like that. He ran away because he was afraid of being rejected, and he didn’t give because he was afraid of not getting what he gave. After all kinds of mischief… … For the first time, I surrendered to him. It wasn’t as bad as I thought. To put it your way, I am a loser to Ophelia.”
“…….”
“But he also lost to me.”
“…… What does that mean?”
The faint smile on Emilia’s face was like a flower that was about to fall, Casio became nervous at the moment, as if his heart was about to collapse.
“I……. I was originally going to die with him when he died.”
“…….”
Casio’s face hardened.
“Actually, there’s no point in winning or losing in this kind of place. I found out too late. If I did, I would have been a little more upset.”
Because the face of Emilia who said that was really a face she had never seen before.
“…… Lady Emilia?”
“Lord Laertes said do whatever you want. Use it, throw it away, whatever… … I’ll just stay by your side. do what you want Living like that… … even if it’s not the first time. is it so. It was my first time other than him.”
