The bad ending of an Otome game MTL - Chapter (179)
Episode 179
The first thing you see is a wall covered with thick curtains on all sides to prevent sunlight from entering.
Edmund Gloucester is sitting on an old-fashioned armchair and looking at him.
And in the middle, the one lying like purple. I doubted my eyes for a moment.
Kitty was tied up in a mess on the chair.
Whatever he had done, his clothes were as dirty as rags, and there was no blood on his droopy hands and feet. There was blood and stains on his messy hair.
“…… what…….”
I was nervous as if the inside of my throat was tightening. My hands and feet became cold in an instant.
“Kitty, what have you done!”
“I wish I had come to you when I sent you an invitation like that.”
“you…… !”
“You really came just because you called me.”
I woke up to the sound of the door closing. Edmund Gloucester’s look was strange.
Usually, yes. Just looking at me, I had a face like looking at a matchstick whose wick was so hot that it would catch fire just by rubbing somewhere.
Now, it was strangely cold.
Like an underground morgue filled with ice to keep corpses on a midsummer day… … .
“I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid, I’ve been talking to each other, giving warnings, and thinking about various things.”
Yes, even if you think it has a low boiling point, if you keep your mouth shut, Edmund Gloucester is an intellectually intelligent scholar.
“You’re really not afraid, Lady Emilia.”
The man got up and took a step forward. There wasn’t even a smile on his face. A chill flowed down his white face, as if he were wearing a mask made out of ice.
Something a little different from the usual Edmund Gloucester. Where? why? Instinct beeps kept ringing in my head.
Unlike usual, an ungloveed fingertip approached and touched the tip of my cheek.
One step at a time, I instinctively took a step back, avoiding the man who approached me. The man only comes one step closer without any agitation.
It was like a wild beast chasing its prey. It wasn’t until I heard a chin, dry sound that I realized I was leaning my back against the door. There was nowhere else to run.
I thought you shouldn’t be afraid of a man like this. A man’s face came closer to my face, which had hardened my jaw without saying a word. It was close enough to hear his breathing.
His deep blue eyes shone faintly and cold like a glacier, unlike the usual ones that were boiling like flames. A cold finger came over and grabbed my chin and neck at the same time and pressed it down.
“Why?”
“…….”
“Lady Ophelia, who stalked you like a baby bird, is also dead, the Marquis Windrose was like that, and there’s no way you can trust Casio Brahmanduff and stand here in front of me.”
You’re the one who called me over Lady Elodie, and why are you doing this here?
The words he wanted to say ran out of his throat, but the man’s reaction was not serious. The tip of the man’s nose lightly touched the tip of my nose, which I couldn’t even breathe properly.
“Ah, or maybe.”
The man laughed.
“Do you think that noble knight, Sir Laertes, will escape from the palace and run right here to rescue you?”
It was obviously a laugh, but it was more frightening than when he was expressionless. If the previous appearance had been a skirmish, now it is as if revealing a piece of the core that he was holding deeply in his heart.
I struggled to move my stiff lips.
“…… You’re welcome.”
“then?”
“Because there is a purpose, I must have called a person. that is…….”
I took a deep breath. it’s ok, it’s ok… … . Gee, I’m afraid of such a pathetic man, so where are you going to use it?
“…… Even if it’s not something I like.”
“Minimum’s head is rolling. That would be your strength, not your strength.”
“Why is Kitty like that?”
“I betrayed you.”
…… what? I couldn’t hide my surprise and looked at him.
“What does that mean?”
“Not all humans are the same. In that sense, I and Sir Casio were on the same side. Even though they are papers, they are not all the same species.”
Edmund said in a friendly tone, as if reading an explanation in an encyclopedia.
“A servant who can give his life for his master. A servant who doesn’t even care about his master, who bestowed all kinds of favors for his own safety.”
“Kitty and I aren’t even that grandiose relationship.”
“Lady Emilia stayed away from the living Lady Elodie for the shadow of the dead Ophelia and was angry with me.”
“Why is that story here?”
“I can say that he is a true, loyal dog. I can’t buy it even with money… … . That kind of human. Lady Emilia.”
Edmund’s voice was strange. The tip of the lips that brought my name to the mouth became tapered.
“…… Are you calling me to come and chat with you about old stories?”
Edmund Gloucester and Casio Brahmanduff knew from the beginning that people were not treated as people.
Humans who do not fit into their ‘eyes’ are beaten like no other. I just don’t express it outside.
A bright, naive and friendly person from the beginning, no matter how much it is called a game… … Did you have any endings? Was he overly obsessed with Ophelia and ruined a normal person’s life?
“But now that he is coming to my mansion for one maid. And for the servant who happily sold you over. Is there any irony like this?”
“…… Whatever Kitty did, it’s my punishment, not yours.”
“Lady Emilia is going to punish that? you’re welcome. That’s a faithful double agent who has been moving back and forth between Sir Casio Brahmanduff and me. You have been very faithful to your deeds. Didn’t Lady Emilia expect that too?”
“…….”
Kitty, after all, is the maid that Casio Brahmanduff gave me. The fact that he took such a maid and brought it to this point means that Edmund Gloucester is prepared to run into a clash with Casio over this.
Of course, from Casio’s point of view, there could be only one maid. I swallowed saliva.
“…… It’s unexpected, but I didn’t listen to him in the first place, and I don’t know why I should listen to you.”
“You are too loopy and fragile.”
“I was sick of hearing that story. Is there anything else to talk about?”
“I said earlier that even if we are human, we are not all the same species. is it so. Kitty and you are fundamentally different species. Just like Ophelia and everyone else in the world cannot be compared.”
“…….”
A feeling of insecurity about something continued to spring up. Should I run away?
“I have decided to acknowledge your limitations.”
As if delighted, Edmund Gloucester laughed. There seemed to be a strange brilliance in his eyes.
“…… I beg your pardon?”
“I’m going to admit that you’ve been stabbed in the head by a maid, betrayed, and struggling to do things you can’t do even though you know your limits.”
“under! What will change if you admit it… … .”
“You obviously said there was nothing you couldn’t do for Ophelia, did you?”
“…… Yes.”
“Whether it’s Lady Elodie or anyone else, it doesn’t matter if it’s for your ‘Ophelia’?”
“…… What do you mean?”
“The judgment I have made so far is wrong. Lady Emilia is my competitor, not my competitor.”
Seriously, I looked up at him with a stupid face as if someone had shaved the back of his head. What is this person talking about now?
Are you sane? Someone who couldn’t eat me like that, so I was annoyed, ridiculed, slapped, cursed, and annoyed.
Now come, not a competitor, but an understander? for what? No, in the first place, does it make sense now?
The man he was obsessed with is missing (maybe, if you followed me, you might even know Elodie’s whereabouts).
Ophelia is dead. It appeared in my dreams and conveyed my meaning through heart and letters, but there was no way that man could know what was going on.
Yet… … .
Edmund Gloucester was smiling. Just like a fanatic who has been making sacrifices for one goal for decades.
“This is a very generous offer, and also intimidating. It would be nice to hear it when it is spoken.”
“what…….”
“Three people will die if you escape at will.”
“Three, people?”
“Your biological parents and that maid.”
“…….”
I looked at Edmund with a speechless face. It felt strange to come up with a word that I had never even thought of.
“…… My biological parents?”
“Yes. To be honest, I don’t think they’ll be of much value to you, but if you’re escaping to kill them, I don’t think they’re that bad either. Well, this is not the only means.”
“A means?”
“We can bring Lady Ophelia back to life.”
“…… !”
This time I held my breath. Edmund Gloucester watched my astonished reaction without missing the slightest bit.
“…… Don’t say nonsense.”
“Why doesn’t it make sense?”
“Well, how long has he been dead…….”
“Lady Ophelia is special. You don’t mean to deny that. Has anyone even heard the meaning of Lady Ophelia’s name from me?”
“…….”
“Sure. It’s not like Lady Elodie’s, it’s not like a fake that only looks a little bit like it. Really, it will bring you back to life.”
“Are you even dreaming? No matter how much Sir Edmund is an expert in theology or magic… … .”
“Did you know that there is a hidden altar in the royal palace?”
“…….”
This is the story Elodie told me. I tried to rebut the moore, but I was silent. As if satisfied with my reaction, Edmund shrugged.
“…… I don’t know why the Brahmanduffs have not taken a side to this day, but are still waiting, but the fight between the Queen and the Grand Duchess is serious. But, I think the Air Force will win.”
“…… So did you hold my hand?”
“In exchange for our cooperation, we were promised the right to use the ‘altar’. This is one of the reasons why the unbelievers have been so hostile and opposing to the royal family, yet they have built up their power and tried to infiltrate the capital.”
Edmund casually told the story of the Archduke and the unbelievers.
“They also have their own altars, but they say they need the first ‘altar’ in order to receive the price without side effects for those who are not the perfect vessel of God.”
“If it’s an altar, you mean to hold a sacrificial service? What about the offering?”
Edmund Gloucester stared at me, as if waiting for my reaction.
“The offering is Lady Elodie.”
“…… !”
“Of course, this is a story that is possible under the premise that he is alive and free from the pursuit of the royal family.”
