The bad ending of an Otome game MTL - Chapter (181)
Episode 181
Edmund couldn’t wield a sword. Anyway, there were limits. He also remembers the words of many congratulations that the king gave himself to the work of Laertis Hope.
Before the present Prince Alexis was born, he even said that there would be no limit to having a son like this.
Just thinking about his hard eyes, who had accepted all the compliments casually, made me angry.
Even if Edmund was an illegitimate child. Even if he was enrolled in the Gloucester family without looking back.
If he had set up an army like Laertes, perhaps the king’s eyes would have been different.
There would have been no need to watch the grand duke, prince, and queen arguing with each other.
He doesn’t love the king. Nor is it respectful. To be honest, I despised it.
However, despite these great achievements in both theology and magic, the king did not pretend to know.
I didn’t expect injustice, but being treated like garbage by a target I didn’t like was even worse. He could ignore the king, but the king couldn’t ignore him.
Laertes received such affection even though he was not the son of the Marquis couple. He was the only man who received the gaze of Ophelia without contempt.
I was treated like a fiance. Even Emilia!
The one who could reach out his hand belatedly and snatch everything while acting so bluntly!
Edmund Gloucester is a man who can get what he has longed for. Still, a man who does not know the importance or weight of it.
But yes, let’s see. Ed carefully opened the door, taking care of his expression.
This hallway was a secret space that Edmund had built up only through the butler. Emilia, who had followed along without any resistance, looked into the room and slowly changed her expression.
“Are you a little more confident now?”
Edmund Gloucester laughed proudly. Even the marquisist would not have been able to ‘implement’ everything of Ophelia up to this point.
Of course, it wasn’t just Ophelia’s. Traces that even Emilia herself would have faded were next to her.
It was a pity that Emilia bought the things that Emilia had sold or disposed of in the first place.
Some of them had traces of Ophelia. His pride didn’t allow him to sell it to anyone who didn’t know his worth like that.
After that, it was because I thought this was a pretty plausible thing.
okay. In the true Marquis of Windrose at that time, Ophelia and Emilia were ‘together’.
A bouquet that has been preserved beyond its limit, so dry that it will crumble just by touching it. Accessories I had forgotten about as a child.
Clothes that have grown so much that I can no longer wear them.
At the very least, the rims remained discolored, even on the teacups that Ophelia disposed of after harassing visitors with poisoned tea.
Whether old or in good condition, new or used, beautiful or ugly, it seemed as if almost all traces were scraped off and displayed.
Emilia’s eyes fluttered sharply. Edmund Gloucester declared with satisfaction.
“Now that I am, truly, I have decided to ‘preserve’ both Lady Ophelia and Lady Emilia!”
It was truly a proud declaration.

“Lady Emilia has been taken away by a two-legged stalker!”
It was after Joseph returned when Beth rushed into Emilia’s townhouse and shouted with all her might. Everyone in the group discussing the future was astonished. Especially Elodie.
“What, what?”
Next to Elodie, who uttered a rare whistle, Princess Alogia asked, hesitatingly.
“Okay, dragged away, that means a private…… You mean there was?”
“No, are you taking the Lady with you in broad daylight? Sir Gloucester, was he that crazy? Didn’t you see that?”
Beth answered the princess first, leaving behind Joseph’s wide-eyed question.
“I didn’t bring him, privates, and privates……. …… I, Lady Emilia, and I changed clothes with the maid and sneaked in so we wouldn’t get caught. But Lady Emilia’s maid was in my room pretending to be Lady Emilia.”
Up to that point, everyone knew it.
“The Gloucester family sent a wagon to find Lady Emilia. I heard that my maid tried to get rid of it somehow, but there are some that keep insisting that it is an official ‘urgent’ meeting. Apparently, the maid isn’t our party, so we don’t use any excuses… … . Even if the maid isn’t there right now, they’ll send a wagon to pick them up, and they’re waiting for us to come.”
In conclusion, it was the story of Emilia going to the Gloucester family in a wagon.
“Didn’t you say Lady Emilia’s words?”
“Oh, there it is! Go to me right now, and trust only Lady Elodie and His Majesty the Princess. I believe in all the plans I told you before, so I want you to implement them right away.”
As soon as he arrived, Joseph heard the story he had told him when he wasn’t there before, and then he lamented.
“No, but what happened to take Lady Emilia in such a hurry and recklessness? In fact, in that political battle… … Aren’t Lady Elodie and Her Majesty the Princesses truly valuable as hostages?”
“…… The words of Lady Elodie, or the mother before the hunting contest…… In particular, it was Lady Emilia and Lady Elodie who forced me to become close. At that time, it was just the Brahmanduff family…… I thought it was to get favor, but now that I think about it, it’s true… … .”
Princess Aloisia’s face turned pale. Beth shouted with a more corpse-like face.
“Hey, the bad guys have been targeting Lady Emilia since before?!”
Elodie answered instead.
“Yes. If it hasn’t been explicitly targeted, the reason is… … .”
Elodie paused for a moment.
“…… It must have been because he was under the protection of Sir Casio Brahmanduff. Either way, we can’t touch the Brahmanduff family prematurely. So, last time, when the two of us escaped, we were okay. But if not… … .”
“Or there is no answer. Shit!”
Joseph said with a face more likely to die than me.
“Captain, the captain will never leave me alone. Ah, as soon as I know this, I have a plan right away, and I think I will break the palace and run away… … . ah ah ah! If I had known that something like this would happen in that short time… … .”
Joseph’s voice sounded more like a scream than a word.
“Without the protection of the Brahmanduff family, in fact, Lady Emilia has nothing to say right now, even if she is caught in the royal palace for treason with the Marquis Windrose! I grew up in that family, and I was in the mansion that day, and if it goes to the charges of hiding Lady Elodie and Her Majesty the Princess… … .”
“Lee, Lady E, Emilia said she believed in our plan.”
Princess Aloisia spoke in a voice that was not as clear as her.
“really…… I didn’t mean to go, I didn’t send Beth Young-ae to us like this, and tell us about the situation… … At any cost, I would have run away.”
“that’s right. In the first place, our plan was…… For the sake of the well-being of all of us, we were asked to temporarily join hands with the anti-aircraft wave. It’s just that the implementation of the plan is a bit faster. In order to ‘dispose’ of the charges against Lady Emilia, the charges against me and the princess must remain the same.”
Elodie cleared up the situation in a quick voice. Joseph sighed and said,
“Then let’s go see the Grand Duke tonight, right? … ? Even if I look like this, I am Deppshaw, a member of the Knights of Glamis.”
“If you’re worried, even if you don’t go with me…….”
“No, no, I’m not trying to take it out, but fortunately, I’m glad that we didn’t deviate too much from the plan for ‘our side’. Your Majesty the Marquis of Windrose also agreed to temporarily establish a cooperative relationship with the Grand Duke.”
“…… !”
Everyone let out a sigh of relief. He even spoke as if Joseph was arranging the case step by step.
“In fact, it is questionable whether it will have an absolute impact. We’re going all the way. It’s the Grand Duke who is choosing to take it and use it as he pleases. However, with the battle with the queen at hand, I will not try to weaken my strength over such trivial matters. You will have to win the favor of the Princess and Lady Elodie right away, and the Marquis of Windrose will do the same thing.”
“Then it’s just a matter of time, isn’t it?”
“Yes. My life is also at stake. Even so, on the way home, I got money and borrowed another wagon temporarily…… Will Lady Beth go with you?”
Joseph asked as he watched the people get up and get ready to leave.
Everyone’s eyes turned to Beth. Beth, who hadn’t even changed clothes with the maid before, was outraged and kicked the floor with her feet.
“No, then are you going to leave me in this situation?!”
“No, no, no, not that.”
Joseph waved his arms in the air, pretending he wasn’t.
“Lady Elodie and Her Majesty the Princess, of course, you must be protected by the Grand Duke, even temporarily. I have to hide myself for a while… … . However, Lady Beth has a separate place to stay, and if you go with us and trust her body recklessly, if she gets into trouble with her family or here and there… … .”
“My father told me not to sell face, no matter how poor I am!”
Beth exclaimed and snorted.
“I was told that people in the capital were afraid, and that I was a debutant for nothing, so the wind got into my lungs and I went up to the capital, and I was humiliated. Even though our family has no money, we don’t have anything, but they told us to keep our things and live!”
Beth put it on like pouring something, and said non-stop.
“Otherwise, I am not a human child. If you come back, I’ll hit you in the ass and kick you out! I’m not a knight, I’m a lady, but what do you think? Our house is in the countryside, so it will be over before we even hear the news.”
At Beth’s courageous words, Elodie nodded her head as if she had no choice.
“okay. Because the parent family is not directly entangled… … .”
“Then there is only one way left, right?”
“One way?”
“Yes. How can my uncle be able to ‘save’ us successfully.”
Princess Aloisia smiled modestly.
