The bad ending of an Otome game MTL - Chapter (231)
Episode 231
“Once everything ‘below’ awakens, ordinary rituals at the altar are meaningless. …… Unless it’s to wake Ophelia. Just the goddess, the dregs down there. If you’re going to make it go down completely. There is one that is effective. It is the royal Fiji.”
“…… Now, you, maybe… … .”
Edmund grunted his teeth.
“I will make you regret keeping me alive with compassion.”
“The world is going to be destroyed anyway, does that mean that something is going to change?”
“If I had properly tried to ‘descent’ Ophelia’s consciousness through Elodie’s body, everything would have been peaceful while human Elodie’s body was still alive. Even if the consciousness of the goddess is incomplete, once it is ‘trapped’ in a vessel called Elodi, it cannot run wild. The failures I have assumed are limited to those who have not been able to ‘come down’ commensurate with the vessel called Elodie.”
Edmund shrugged.
“…… If you cherish and love Elodie so much, you have to show in front of your eyes what it was like not to use that ‘vessel’.”
“Does that mean the world will be destroyed immediately without a grace period?”
“Exactly.”
Rumble rumble, rumble!
Even at this moment, the vibrating sounded non-stop. The butler next to him said calmly during the day.
“I don’t have much time. If it goes on like this, it will be at most two hours.”
“Why are you saying that now?”
“Now there is a way to ‘stop’ it to some extent.”
“A way to stop it?”
in this situation? Do you have any reason to tell me?
“The master is curious about Lady Emilia’s choice.”
“…… Choice?”
“Even if it is imperfect, if we offer the goddess’ ‘vessel’ to the altar, the ‘ceremonial’ will proceed even now. But, really, you have to mobilize all the possibilities. Lady Elodie is the default, and Her Majesty Princess Aloisia and Marquis Irene, who were born on the same day, are also included.”
“Now say that…….”
“If you had simply followed my will, this would not have happened. Don’t you regret it?”
“What kind of regret do you have when a madman wants to revive someone who is already dead and takes a living person and secures the destruction of the world as collateral?”
“Your tone has gotten worse.”
“Don’t go round and round, just tell the truth.”
“I will offer myself to the altar. If I, the royal blood that is not directly related to Ophelia, is offered, there is a high probability that the ‘goddess’ will take the initiative. It would be so much fun to sacrifice the people you were protecting to prevent that.”
“Isn’t there anything to make suicide so grandiose?”
“You should really, sincerely, with all your might, pray for Ophelia to be resurrected. The jin needed for that ‘ceremonial’ has already been drawn. Don’t use it in any other way to try to disturb me by any means. Because it is useless.”
“…….”
“I’m curious to see how you survived to the end, worse than dying.”
Edmund smiled at me. However, the corners of his lips were distorted, so it didn’t look like a proper smile.
“You said your mother, Ophelia, Elodie, I didn’t choose you.”
I calmly opened my mouth. Edmund’s eyes darkened.
“Aside from your mother’s ignoring you, there’s nothing to be upset about, right? When you’re this age, you don’t want to do all these things, and do everything because you were abandoned by your parents when you were young, do you?”
“Are you bluffing even in this situation?”
“You courted Ophelia in the way she hated the most, confessed by overlaying the image of a dead person on a stranger just because she looked the same, and courted me by telling me only the bond with the dead.”
If Elodie had been here, he would have been able to speak better than me. Sadly, I was worried about the people I couldn’t see here.
“In other words, if you get abandoned by a woman and leave, you are going to end up destroying the world. Where in the world are there assholes like this?”
“you…….”
“Did Ophelia ever tell you that she wanted to be revived?”
“That’s right, of course…….”
“No matter how venomous a dog is and how much he treats other people like ants, he is not a kid who wants to come back to life by stealing his body.”
laughter came out.
“Elodie…… what have you been through Still, I decided not to kill you. Is this what you did? Contribute to the destruction of the world? See what I’m desperate for… … ?”
“Whatever she went through, it was already spilled. After all, as long as the dregs of the goddess under the altar are taken out, destruction is a certain thing!”
Edmund’s eyes twinkled darkly. I was talking about all the bad endings Elodie had to go through, but Edmund said he didn’t care, not knowing the exact meaning of those words.
“If the ruin has already begun, we must find a way to slow it down as much as possible. But does that mean I’m going to buy my time by sacrificing all the people I tried to protect with my own hands? With my own hands, rebuilding the rituals I ruined… … . He really is Edmund Gloucester.”
“So, are you going to beg for the answer?”
“If it’s something that can’t be undone, go out and die.”
“…….”
Edmund Gloucester’s forehead twitched. Edmund looked at the butler.
“Grandpa.”
Did Edmund originally call the butler ‘Grandpa’?
“It’s been a long time since you’ve called me like that.”
“If you tell me to do the ceremony properly, help me.”
“Are you serious?”
“okay.”
Edmund’s voice was radically different from what I was talking about. He was calm as if he had become a different person.
“My mind is clear. I have no other choice.”
“…….”
“So, struggle until the end and give hope. It’s a pity that I can’t see it in person when it’s broken.”
I put the ring Edmund took back from me on my finger. Hesitantly yet resolutely.
Then he limped slightly and disappeared from his seat. never looked back.
It didn’t match the end of any Edmund Gloucester I had ever imagined.
I thought about whether I should run in and stab him with the knife in my arms, but if Edmund Gloucester’s words were true, it was futile.
Above all else, his words were full of contradictions.
“The ‘Master’ who is so dead and unable to live right now is saying that he will curse others by throwing himself at him, isn’t he even stopping him?”
“It is a choice made by the owner with all his heart.”
“Leaving you, ‘properly’ the ritual? So let go of sacrificing others for good… … .”
It was then. I saw a silhouette rushing towards the altar with all its might.
I threw myself at the person with all my might, giving up asking more questions of the butler. I felt my opponent freeze.
“…….”
“Mrs. Marquis.”
The messed up, ugly woman looked at me and smiled clumsily. Faded hair, eyes that always smiled softly.
“Emilia…….”
I knew it the moment I saw his face.
“Hey, will you let go of this hand?”
The Marquis Lady was in tears. I realized intuitively that she had overheard the entire conversation that had just taken place. Perhaps Edmund had left her here on purpose.
In order to earn even the slightest amount of time, she intends to sacrifice herself.
I forcefully took the small dagger she was holding. The black blade was dusty from where he picked up the thing that was rolling on the floor.
“Give it to me. Eh, Emilia.”
He had a strange face, as if he were smiling or crying. The Marquis, who hesitated for a while, spat out a word.
“Five…… You think you’re only going out for Ophelia now.”
“…….”
“Mi, mi, crazy. Do you think I’ll come and act like your mother now? no worries? that’s not like that No need to feel guilty. The world will also perish… … . Well, I don’t know about Princess Alogia Jeonna or Elodie, but who knows if it’s only me and me who can benefit. That, my, my sacrifice pierced my heart and there… … It was said that the blood should flow through the groove in the center. Yes? Wait a minute.”
The Marquis looked at me for a long time on a motionless day and said. It was a desperate voice.
“…… Sal, can’t you live?”
“…….”
“I can’t just ignore me and leave as it is…… ? I was really mean to you. Do you remember by now? Yes? Because she was a shameless woman. Oh, Ophelia was worried about you too. I didn’t want you to die. They say the world will perish, huh? don’t stop… … .”
had to admit
“There is no reason for you to stop…….”
I couldn’t blame her any longer.
“…… There must be another, another way. No, there is. I know. So don’t do it. please please…….”
Marquis, I shouldn’t have said it. With that name alone, I couldn’t catch her. You couldn’t use someone else as an excuse. I felt something dripping down my cheek.
“…… mom.”
Irene’s body stopped at that moment.
“Don’t go, Mom.”
I was worried the whole time the news broke.
It was the same when I heard that it was used as a sacrifice.
It was the same when I was reunited with my biological parents. Seeing that brazen figure that was inferior to others, even though I was sick of it, I suddenly thought about it.
Everyone makes mistakes.
Even in the face of Edmund Gloucester, who has made myself that way over and over again, Elodie is tolerant.
I couldn’t lose any more loved ones because I was clogged up by the stubbornness within me.
Really till the very end.
Even if there is no way.
That way, giving up on people one by one. As I resigned myself to not being able to do anything.
I couldn’t live as bad as dying.
“My, if you feel sorry for me, don’t leave me. you’re by my side… … .”
The words that young Emilia had appealed to herself over and over again.
I’m smarter than Ophelia.
I’m more friendly than Ophelia.
I’m better than Ophelia.
more…….
i loved you
Blood can’t win. A real family is different. In the first place, I came from the Fallen Nobility.
You need to know the subject.
so you don’t get hurt
Having a crush on Ophelia’s fiancée, thinking of Ophelia’s parents as my parents.
Even though I don’t want to die as much as being treated like a cuckoo who doesn’t even know my subject.
“Don’t die…….”
But now you turned away from me and stood in front of the altar to save everyone. You can tell without having to say it. She stood there because of me.
She’s not the kind of person who would want her daughter to take someone else’s soul and take over her body.
It’s just that she desperately needs it.
The unbelievers secretly targeted me. I said it was the condition of a good sacrifice.
If I have to mobilize ‘everything’, I may have to sacrifice myself.
With that possibility alone, she was the first to throw herself. Like a mother protecting my daughter.
I cried like a child.
“to…… Millia?”
“I mean don’t go…….”
I hugged her tightly and cried.
