The bad ending of an Otome game MTL - Chapter (226)
Episode 226
* * *
Emilia looked down at Edmund, who was lying on the floor like a frog, with unknown eyes.
Originally, while Edmund was preparing for the ceremony, he had tried to convince the Marquis of Irene to check on his well-being and figure out where to get it out. Asking Jessie for a tea set was in a similar vein.
But before Jesse and Marquis of Irene arrived, the unbeliever came down. He even picked himself up as he was observing the situation and began to doubt it.
It wasn’t something I had expected at all, so it’s a pity that she spun around somehow.
I was able to get over the situation on a whim, but honestly, I was worried. What if Edmund Gloucester suspects?
When Edmund was fighting an unbeliever, the first thing she thought of was, ‘We need to get Elodie out of this place.’
It was an opportunity when the lights went out. While she screamed with her mouth, she supported Elodie, who pretended to be asleep, and made her run away. Elodie herself quickly cooperated with Emilia.
If Edmund had been a little more sensitive, he would have noticed the sound of Elodie’s footsteps running out of breath.
However, he didn’t seem to notice because he was so focused on Emilia’s screams and the unbelievers who rushed at him.
Jessie, who slapped Edmund in the back of the head as hard as he could with Emilia’s gesture, exhaled heavily.
Jessie was embarrassed by the road approaching this way when there was a riot earlier, but helped Elodie hide and hid herself.
If Edmund had looked around every corner to find Elodie right now, he might have found him right away, but he didn’t get caught thanks to Emilia’s somehow holding Edmund’s gaze.
Emilia looked at Edmund’s trembling eyes as she pleaded with her, and indifferently motioned ‘Come on, hit me’ behind his back.
Jessie was a quick-witted and good-natured maid, so she did not hesitate to use an iron vase lying nearby as a tool.
Emilia tapped Jesse’s shoulder, exhaling nervously.
“thank you.”
“Huh, no, no…….”
Elodie, who suddenly appeared, said as he pressed his fingertips to the head of Edmund, who had fallen unconscious. It was a clear and resolute voice.
He slammed into an iron vase and collapsed, seeing faint blood seeping from his head, which had hit the floor.
“Shall we hit it ten more times for a confirmation kill?”
While Jessie looked at Elodie, who spoke firmly with an angelic face, with a curious expression, Emilia spoke calmly.
“…… First of all, we take all the strange things so that we don’t do anything in vain.”
Emilia took the lead and robbed Edmund’s clothes and pockets. While conscientiously unable to keep up with Edmund’s deepest thoughts, Elody unexpectedly removed Emilia’s hand.
She said, ‘It’s a body I’ve only seen in my dreams anyway,’ and smiled a rotten smile as if she had come up from hell, then literally brushed off Edmund’s body.
The result of that was not much.
There was a pack of cigarettes he was carrying and used, a bundle of paper soaked in blood from his side, and a bracelet of unknown purpose. It wasn’t a black stone presumed to be a catalyst, it was a dark-colored bracelet with a slightly dark red sphere.
“I think I brought it here to prepare for drawing a formula.”
Elodie said while examining the stack of papers.
Emilia said while lightly pressing the sphere on the bracelet with her fingertips.
“It is softer than I thought. Make sure to bleed or something… … Anyway, it seems like I put all of those things together, but I’m so confused… … .”
“I don’t even know who I am.”
Elodie tilted her head.
“It’s not like this, that person is behind too.”
Emilia said as she looked at the corpse of the unbeliever on the floor. After the fight with Edmund, the corpse had been enchanted and died insignificantly.
As they searched through their arms, they found a notebook full of notes written in an ancient language they couldn’t read well, and a small glass bottle of black powder.
There was also a small iron nail that I couldn’t figure out where to use it. The tip was too thin for a nail, so it seemed like it had a different purpose.
“Well…….”
When Elodie let out an anxious moan, Emilia widened her eyes.
“Is there any problem?”
“I expected it, but the one that the royal family is keeping…… I can’t see the relic. It is also said to be a god of the goddess.”
“…….”
Emilia was also silent.
Cracked divine objects cannot be used for ceremonies as they are. In fact, Edmund, too, had somehow managed to find a catalyst to use for the ‘ceremonies’.
However, no one could easily guess how the objects that had been used in royal ceremonies from generation to generation would be used.
Considering that the unbeliever confidently said to Edmund, ‘I’ll give it to you after the ceremony,’ it’s very likely that someone else had it. A colleague of the one who has fallen now… … .
Emilia opened her mouth urgently as if she had just remembered it.
“Where is I, Jesse, Marquis Irene? If you come down from the non-believers or the queen knowing something strange, then it’s okay. Before that, I want you to run away… … .”
“Ah, I told you. Maybe it was because the basement was completely emptied, and no one was watching the Marquis. I told you that Lady Emilia was here, so you said you’d come right away. After setting up the tea set, I think I will have to look at the situation here and move… … .”
“Then I think I should explain the situation first and then move on…….”
“But it’s a bit too much to leave the altar here with this guy, isn’t it?”
Emilia was troubled by Elodie’s words.
It didn’t look like Edmund would wake up easily. Both the head and the flank wounds were fatal. In case you didn’t know, I stole things so that I couldn’t proceed with the ‘Ritual’, but… … .
“Hey, Jessie, do you have a rope or something like that?”
“Wait.”
Jesse searched the vicinity of the altar and opened the door to the cabinet next to the pillar.
Somewhere in the world, a chain full of rusty, dark spots came out. It is a ring at the end and no matter how you look at its appearance, it seemed to be to fix the sacrifice on the altar.
Without saying a word, Emilia and Elodie took the chain and wrapped it around Edmund’s body.
Elodie clapped once, as if having a good idea, and pointed to the coffin-like box she was lying in.
“Put it in there and close the door. I’m going to wrap it up with extra chains and throw it away.”
“…… Maybe someone will come to find Edmund?”
“If all goes according to plan, the Archduke wouldn’t dare come in to find Edmund, and the Queen wouldn’t mind because she was too busy.”
“Hey, ladies. I think that man is a very dangerous person, then he won’t just kill him… … Do you know?”
At Jesse’s cautious words, Elodie affirmed.
“Honestly, I think that if you kill him now, there will be no repercussions.”
There was no hesitation in Elodie’s voice.
“Lady Emilia has always listened to him. If you realize Lady Emilia’s true intentions, you’ll be the one to go wild to kill even Emilia. The plan has gone awry, so I might do something crazy to make the world go crazy. Some of them have already done too many refurbishments.”
“I agree. It’s after I acted, deceived, hit the back of the head and tied my limbs, but I’m not doing this because I want to give them a new chance. but…….”
Emilia hesitated for a moment. Emilia knew better than anyone else about Edmund’s madness, which Elodie, Marquis Irene, and Emilia’s biological parents all thought were expendable supplies.
“…… That damn bastard was trying to save me from a hunting contest.”
The condition of the ritual is to offer a ‘sacrifice’ to obtain a ‘result’.
If you use things like catalysts, which are incidental materials for rituals, or gods of a goddess, you can achieve maximum results with minimum sacrifice. But basically, it comes at the cost of someone’s life. In particular, women’s lives.
In order to resurrect Ophelia into Elodi’s body, he had Emilia stabbed Marquis Irene with her own hands and tried to make her own blood as well. As a spare, Emilia’s biological parents were also prepared.
“…… I know it wouldn’t have been a pure favour. Now, it’s not the kind of sympathy that he wouldn’t have been like if he had a good home education and met good parents. I have no intention of saying such a thing in front of Lady Elodie and no one else.”
Emilia took a deep breath.
“But if you have the means and money to do so, I don’t think it would be a bad idea to keep them alive and pay the price for their crimes.”
“…….”
“However, I respect Elodie’s opinion. That’s the guy who tried to use Elodie as a treasure for others while he was alive. Elodie has more decision-making power than I do.”
Elodie pondered for a moment, then pressed her toe against Edmund’s head.
“On the day of the hunting competition, Emilia didn’t even like me, but I ran to save her.”
“…….”
“I know better than anyone that the things I went through were not just empty dreams. However, if I am immersed in the past and misjudgment in reality, that is proof that I am an idiot with nothing to learn. what…… It wouldn’t be a bad idea to make that nerd who’s only breathing in his prison cell full of wrath and cry.”
Elodie shrugged as he looked at Edmund, who had collapsed in an ugly shape like a broken kokeshi.
