The bad ending of an Otome game MTL - Chapter (29)
Episode 29
The carriage stopped and the man got down first and then reached out to me.
“It was hard today.”
“You’re talking like there won’t be any trouble in the future.”
“I can’t say for sure, but isn’t Emilia the one you chose?”
“that’s right. I have no intention of passing the blame on you for nothing. Under the premise that you are not doing these things on purpose to annoy me.”
“I don’t know what I must do to make Emilia trust me as a faithful and affectionate partner. As soon as you hear the news, can’t you just trust me, even a little bit, to quit your job and run out to escort you?”
“What did you do?”
He got off the carriage and entered the mansion. The butler, who was waiting, held out something like an envelope to me and Casio.
“what. Something like a dark and great secret meeting of the nobles who are worried about the future of this country?”
“If you don’t want to speak, isn’t your mouth telling you to just say that you don’t want to say it?”
“As soon as I heard of Lady’s plight, I bravely escaped from all my old inspirations. I’m sorry, Emilia.”
The man winked as he put the briefcase in his bosom. I did not hide my absurd expression.
“…… Who are those old spirits?”
“They are great and old-fashioned inspirations, each of them worrying about the future of this country.”
“You have done a great job. I’m fine with it, so hurry up.”
“I don’t really like leaving the wounded lady alone… … .”
“Even if I have a scarecrow by my side, the scar on my heart will still be the same, so it’s better to turn it off right away, no, don’t you think you should hurry?”
If Ophelia was a marquise when she was still alive, no, if only there had been no one by her side, she would have been able to tell her to quit without hesitation.
Apparently, I was a guest, and this man was the master of this mansion, so it was a bit harsh to talk about.
“Lady Emilia, doesn’t it mean that she asks you to stay by her side even with empty words?”
“I grew up as a brave kid who could go back to sleep with nightmares.”
“It’s also reliable.”
So, I guess I thought I would be foolish, like, ‘It was really hard today, so please stay by my side and comfort me’.
Of course, I said these words knowing that I would react in a non-compliant way, but there was no feeling that the man’s jokes were getting more brazen as the days went by.
Watching the golden crown of the man kissing the back of my left hand like a habit before leaving the place like a greeting, I had a new thought.
It’s been less than a week since I reunited with the man, but I’ve already gotten used to talking to each other like this. Long ago, when we exchanged thorny words with Ophelia in between.
now…… Although the man’s attitude is a little different from that time, he keeps his natural tone as if he was trying to make fun of me rather than mocking me.
How long will that man who smiles sweetly with eyes that can’t read inside and walks away with a respectful greeting? How long will this relationship last?
This sight seemed the most complete deception. Just because a man who makes fun of everyone in the world is polite to me doesn’t mean I’m sincere.
However, if you repeat something, it will become dull at some point.
It’s like I can’t believe my memories. Just like I was angry to see Edmund Gloucester raving about someone else instead of the dead Ophelia.
Is this world still a game? Had something changed a lot with my existence?
Will that poor player still be doomed to bad luck? maybe i am
I don’t know. When Ophelia died, I gave up this world once.
Because of the letter I didn’t know the contents, I was led back by Casio’s hand, but I still haven’t figured it out.
In the future, you will have to go through countless things similar to what you have to go through today.
Ophelia loved by everyone, the main character loved by everyone.
Just there, don’t be as misunderstood as I am. He was the only protagonist I loved.
It was just standing alone to shout out to the world, or whatever.
Even if it is a fight that is sure to lose, even if I do or not, the outcome will not change anyway.
Before being kicked out of the Marquis, I left the Marquis on my feet, and I had already given up everything in order not to block the player who would take Ophelia’s back.
There was no hope of changing the world from scratch.
It was a pity that the fate of that gentle girl, who could easily be twisted in the wrong way, was unfortunate, but she did not know how to rectify it.
To be honest, I still don’t know why.
‘You should be happy’
So Ophelia, are you happy? What should I do now to make you happy?
* * *
“You said you rejected the princess’s partner?”
“Have the rumors gone there already?”
As soon as Casio Brahmanduff sat down, he smiled as if nothing had happened to him.
The room was quiet. It was like a closed room designed to share secret stories, so it was just that.
The room was neither spacious nor narrow.
A large table, which could seat seven to ten people, was placed in the center, and chairs were lined up along the table.
There was nothing to eat. There were no writing instruments.
I heard that they also had a mysterious device that repels any magic or divine power, but there was no way to confirm it.
Because everyone who enters this room goes through a body search once.
“I heard that the queen was furious.”
“It wasn’t a huge rumor. It doesn’t matter because there must have been someone who expected more than me anyway.”
Yes, there must have been someone who was chosen and chosen as the bridegroom of the princess. Casio had only a masked smile on the outside.
All the people in the room were like snakes. If you are careless, you will only get eaten.
In the deepest part, the man sitting alone at the top of the table opened his mouth just then.
He had a long mustache, and even though he was close to middle-aged, he looked like he had not neglected to take care of his body.
“Are you talking about Laertes Hope?”
“Yes, Grand Duke. Soon it will be Laertes Windrose.”
The King’s younger brother, Archduke Franz, clicked his tongue and stroked his chin.
“…… It would be difficult if a marquisist moved to the royal family.”
“So it seems like he is still Laertes ‘Hope’. The Marquis has not yet adopted an adoption or designated a successor. Legally, it has nothing to do with Laertes Hope and the Marquis of Windrose.”
“But everyone knows.”
“Your Majesty, the Knights of Glamis must be obtained somehow.”
“Who doesn’t know that the leader was only like one in the days of the previous kings, he’s an old man today and tomorrow, and the real owner of the Knights of Glamis is Laertis Hope?”
Others sitting at the table helped out a few words.
Only Casio was a remarkably bright and beautiful young man, except for him, everyone else looked old.
It was an open secret that everyone in the know knew that the king had become so uncomfortable that he could not even appear in the New Year’s greetings.
In the first place, the King would occasionally fall ill with an unknown disease on an irregular basis.
However, it didn’t take long for everyone to think that it wasn’t a big deal because he woke up with a healthy tuk-tuk.
This time, however, his condition was more serious than before.
The only prince is only 8 years old. There was a princess who turned 20 this year, but the popular opinion was that she was not a successor because she was weak and had a weak personality.
Since the queen had married in a foreign country, the domestic power base was not so strong.
In this case, the situation would have been different if there had been a trusted servant who was loyal to the king and who would serve as the head of the pro-kings.
In the beginning, there was such a person. He was a historic grand aristocrat and loyal Duke of Courtney of the West.
However, most of the royalists, including the Duke of Courtney, were the ones who suffered the most from the massive natural disasters that occurred in various parts of the kingdom 20 years ago.
On the other hand, the king’s younger brother, Archduke Franz, was in his prime.
When I was young, I saw two sons and a daughter who were grown up by marrying the daughter of a nobleman in the north, Lety Mare.
The estate was in the south central part of the country where grains were plentiful and business was developed. He also had good relations with powerful nobles.
In this situation, if the king dies overnight, the 8-year-old prince becomes the king. Of course, legitimacy lies with the prince. But that’s it.
The power of the Guard Knights protecting the king and his family and guarding the palace and the patrols in charge of policing the capital was there.
In particular, in the case of the Guard Knights, they were famous for their lineage and background rather than their abilities, due to the nature of their close proximity to the royal family.
The leader was Sir Arsein, a loyal knight of the previous king, but he was 65 years old this year. He was about to retire soon.
Practically, it was Laertes Hope, a young hero famous all over the country, to direct and rule the Knights Templar.
It was also his achievement to catch a group of robbers plundering the border every year in winter.
He was also the one who subjugated the unbelievers that began to appear after the natural disaster that struck the kingdom extensively for 20 years.
