The bad ending of an Otome game MTL - Chapter (3)
Episode 3
“…… Did the Marquis tell you to leave?”
Casio asked abruptly.
“Can you afford to take care of me in the yard where the funeral has just been held? I have to figure it out.”
The Marquis continues to faint and wakes up, so where is the time to worry about the accessories attached to her dead daughter?
Since the only daughter of the marquisist has died, there will be pressure from inside and outside about the successor, so of course you should be concerned. I wouldn’t even be able to afford to worry about it.
So I thought I’d go out on my own while others didn’t care about me.
“under……. what is that… … .”
Gloucester sighed in shock.
I was a man who had thought of me as a witch who ate Ophelia all the time and tried to take her place, so my reaction was shaky.
Wouldn’t that be rather welcome?
They say that they don’t aim for the empty seat of Ophelia, whom they loved so much, or think about taking away the marquise’s legacy, but quietly giving it away.
I was a little skeptical, but decided not to worry.
“Lady Emilia, aren’t you going to become the adopted daughter of the Marquis family?”
Casio asked again. Why do smart people pretend they don’t know? I shrugged.
“That’s one of the excuses the Marquis made to appease Ophelia while she was alive.”
True. As children, Ophelia and I quarreled, reconciled, and played again.
It was natural that Ophelia, who spends more than half the day in bed, did not receive a normal education, but I also lived a life far from an ordinary noble girl.
Ophelia seemed to think that what I was going through was unfair.
Of course, to the Marquis couple, they would not have thought much about it, as it was as if they had borrowed money and hired a girl who would have lived a miserable life no different from that of commoners.
Ophelia, who loved and cared for me, complained to my parents, and the embarassed Marquis and Marquis explained that I was a ward under the guardianship of the marquis.
If I had been a real commoner, I would have ended up as a guardian who supported me by paying for my food and tuition, but the guardians that are usually attached to minor nobles are usually strong supporters who will pour out support from godfathers and godmothers.
I comforted her by telling her that Ophelia and I were like sisters. Only then did Ophelia relieve her anger. It was.
But all those words were just excuses to appease Ophelia.
I knew better than anyone else. The marquis weren’t bad people, but they weren’t good either.
He is a person who can do anything for his only daughter, Ophelia, but he is not a hoko enough to fill the void of his only daughter with a shell like mine right after she dies.
No matter how hard they treat me because of Ophelia, the end has come.
I am well aware of the arrogance and cruelty of the great aristocrats, and the tightness of their solidity.
Normally, I am a lower class who would not even be able to reach their feet.
Although it is a distant branch of the Marquis family, it is practically close to a commoner, even if a little bit of blood is mixed.
Well, even if she did not adopt her as an adopted daughter, there was a high possibility that she would not be expelled. Whatever it is, I have been by the side of Ophelia for over ten years as a marquise.
Although it was a collateral among collaterals, it was also a distant relative with blood. I wouldn’t do anything cruel to voluntarily expel me, who protected me until the end of my life.
But, in the end, that was all.
He could not die of old age by sticking to the marquis’ mansion as a foodie for the rest of his life.
Maybe it’ll be fine as long as the marquis are alive, but when Laertes becomes the marquis, they’ll see me dearly.
It might be possible to marry a low-ranking aristocrat who is moderately face-to-face, but there was little chance of seeing the good in my situation, just like a good-looking dog.
“You don’t have to worry? What on earth can the Marquis and Marquis trust me to be their adopted daughter?”
“I’m worried, now…….”
“I have no regrets about being a marquise without Ophelia.”
Gloucester hesitated as if to say something, and finally shut his mouth.
Casio remained silent for a long time, staring at me with a serious face.
I don’t know why everyone makes such an illusion, but there are other people who will become adopted daughters.
that…… The poor Baron Young-ae, who looks just like Ophelia, who will appear later.
Among the game routes, there was a route in which the Marquis’s wife, who was so grieved over losing Ophelia, fell ill and weakened, shed tears of emotion when she saw the young baron who looked exactly like Ophelia, and adopted her as her adopted daughter.
Was that the route leading to Laertes? It was a long time ago, so my memory is hazy.
In the original game, Emilia was kicked out while serving as a friend and servant of the heroine Ophelia, and after Ophelia’s death, she shamelessly returned and sat down as a foodie at the Marquis.
Then, after the appearance of the baron Young-ae, his eyes were turned over with jealousy, and he was doing all kinds of things, and it was the obvious role of being defeated in some way by the three male candidates.
She forcibly puts up with her for one reason, ‘the person Ophelia was close to while she was alive’, and eventually punishes her when it is revealed that she was jealous of Ophelia while she was alive.
Far from harming Ophelia, I am who I am now, and I am in a situation where I have to protect it to the end of my life and even have a funeral.
“Lady Emilia. What do you plan to do after leaving the Marquis? You want to go back to your family? Society is not so good that an unmarried noble girl can live alone.”
Casio asked me with an unmoving face as if he had finished managing his facial expressions.
family, it’s family
Even though I know I have no such thing as a ‘family to go back to’, it’s the most stupid thing to ask.
“I have enough money to live on my own.”
If you give up living like an aristocratic girl, you will have enough money to live on for the rest of your life.
Ophelia was always eager to give me a lot of this and that, and in order to appease Ophelia, the Marquis and Marquis did not participate in the gifts she gave me.
I got some presents to thank for taking care of Ophelia.
If you sell some of the accessories you have, you will probably be able to buy a small house on the outskirts of town, and if you dispose of the rest, it will not interfere with your life.
Unless you are obsessed with dresses, high-quality tea leaves, and trinkets.
However, I didn’t want to show my pity in front of these men who seemed to be able to purchase a luxurious mansion in the middle of the capital city with a lump sum due to lack of money.
So I just skimmed around.
Gloucester said suddenly.
“If you leave a marquise, it will be difficult to find a good husband, isn’t it? Aren’t you overly optimistic about your situation? Just as free as when she was alive… … .”
“The Marquis and Marquis have given me many things in return for protecting Ophelia. I can’t take it anymore.”
“No, you say that and later…… ”
Gloucester stuttered.
It was as if there was something else I wanted to say, but it was stuck in my throat and just repeated other sounds.
I stared at him.
Obviously, what was the point of dissatisfaction with the author who had been sarcastic about saying that I should have died instead of Ophelia?
“I’m not coming. Even without Ophelia, I’m here to do something as a marquise.”
“Didn’t you like Laertes?”
Casio suddenly threw an unexpected fastball. I stiffened for a moment, then smiled.
“What are you talking about? Mr. Laertes was polite because he was about to become her prospective fiancée and heir to the future marquis.”
And out of the three, he was the most polite to me. I swallowed the backstory.
Sometimes I was excited.
He was handsome and polite. It was because of Ophelia, but sometimes she cared about me too.
Maybe it’s because it’s Ophelia’s mate candidate, which is supported the most by her relatives and marquis, and she was the most comfortable going to and from the mansion, and I saw her face often since I was little.
When Ophelia was sick and lying down, she often spent time with me.
I’m a woman too, so I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t excited about such a situation. But, in the end, that’s all.
I wasn’t hungry enough to drool over something that wasn’t my bread, and I couldn’t afford it. Because I had Ophelia.
Casio stared intently at my face as if trying to read my expression. I shrugged.
“And what if you have a heart? It is clear that he liked Ophelia, and now he is the heir to the Marquis. If I wear it, it doesn’t look good in many ways.”
Everyone liked Ophelia. It was the same when he was naughty like an angry cat.
The boy was pretty.
Excited with heat and sweaty, she was pretty even though she was talking nonsense.
Even though he was annoyed as if he hated everyone in the world, everyone felt sorry for him.
The more he did it, the more tired he felt as if he was falling into the depths of the ground.
Those three men also liked Ophelia.
Even though we couldn’t spend a long time due to his picky personality, he continued to come and send us gifts.
I was sometimes jealous, compassionate, and sympathetic to Ophelia. I dared to do that on my subject.
Ophelia had everything I didn’t have, except for her health.
Her parents are devoted to her. Beautiful beauty as if blessed by God.
The name of a prestigious family. wealth.
Even the many men who confess their love to her despite the limited future.
Everything I didn’t have. So I hated him sometimes.
She was like a tragic princess in a fairy tale, and I was like a maid in the kitchen next to her.
But in the end, I only had him, and he only had me.
So I didn’t really hate those guys who loved him that much.
In the end, he knew that he was crooked because he couldn’t forget him for the rest of his life.
Casio’s face was subtle. I thought that a round ball would come out, so I put my hand into the box, but it was not a ball that came out but a hedgehog with sharp thorns.
I took advantage of my hesitation and hit the player.
“If you don’t have anything else to say, I’ll just leave.”
Gloucester hesitated, then nodded. Casio also had a serious face, but he didn’t stop it.
I thought about whether to say hello or not, but turned around without saying a word. Since when did we become so close?
Those people are jealous of me, who is close to Ophelia, and I swear by those people. That kind of relationship was right.
Even if the child died, the memories and memories did not all disappear.
The mansion was as quiet as a dead mouse. As if the funeral wasn’t over.
