The bad ending of an Otome game MTL - Chapter (48)
Episode 48
* * *
Time passed faster than expected. It was already the day of the prom in May.
In the meantime, my appearance was very different from what I saw before, whether it was worth eating well, sleeping well, and being well groomed.
It was surprising to me to see myself dressed up from dawn, even taking advice from the Countess McGinty.
“Lady, you are so pretty!”
I was shy and just laughed.
“Thank you, Kitty.”
“The young lady must be the prettiest there!”
“…….”
I couldn’t agree with the empty words, so I just laughed again.
The young girls who made their debut here mostly wore white clothes. My attire was similar.
The white fabric was lined with very light purple and pink ribbons and decorations.
It was an Empire style with short shoulders inflated like a small bell and a belt on the chest.
The design of the white skirt spreads as it approaches the foot, but it is not noisy enough to disturb the dance.
Her hair was also braided in half and decorated with flowers and crystals.
Of course, if the Brahmanduffs wanted to, they could even put a flower made out of whole jewels.
It was the result of everyone’s thought that there would be no great merit in attracting people’s attention too much at the debut dance where the princess would also participate.
The make-up was just enough to put blood on the white face and make it look lively, but it was a spirit that was unbelievable as usual.
Casio Brahmanduff was also dressed in a way that was incomparable to usual.
He was wearing a black three-piece suit and a boutonniere made of pale pink and purple flowers on his chest.
I was dazzled when I got the help of a skilled maid after meticulously grooming her normally bright blonde hair.
Casio Brahmanduff looked at me and remained silent for a while.
With the help of Kitty, I put on my gloves and looked at him like that.
what A pearl necklace around a pig’s neck, maybe he’s trying to sarcastic at a time like this?
“…… Very beautiful.”
It was a plain word, without all the mass phrases.
At the words of Casio Brahmanduff, the world’s best friend, I laughed out loud.
After all, today is the day I finally reach the final goal he brought me out of the cafe.
I picked up the skirt and swung it around very lightly once in my seat.
The Countess said that Saatchi should wear something like a dress fabric instead of wearing a big jewel that everyone else recognizes and flirting like a pawn… … .
Moreover, he emphasized over and over that the fabric needs to be strengthened when considering that young girls who are just debuting will choose a modest design.
I was just a beginner in the social world, so I just followed his words. It was the Brahmanduff family who paid the money anyway.
Anyway, thanks to that, the skirt of my skirt was the silk dress of the goddess, which was an item charged by the players in the game, or it was a fabric that was good enough that it would not kneel even if it existed.
The soft, opaque lace-like white fabric was layered on top of each other, resembling dragonfly wings.
“Casio-san is also wonderful today.”
A smile spread across the man’s face.
“Shall we go, Lady?”
No matter how far from here to the royal palace, considering that most of them will travel by horse-drawn carriage, we had to consider the traffic jam.
I put my hand on the palm of the man who reached out to me.
“Please, my Cavalier.”
The always elegant and arrogant man guided my hand in an unusually respectful manner.
I took a deep breath as I looked at the carriage and the Countess waiting behind the door. Now it was the beginning.
* * *
The order of the debut tangent ball held by the royal family was simple.
Everyone waits in the waiting room, and the first specially selected couple dances with me.
Then, one by one, everyone introduces them to the banquet hall and dances together.
After the dance, they introduce each other and have a friendly time.
No matter how much they say that she is a young girl who came to Tokyo from the countryside, she will have one chance to be officially introduced with her partner in front of everyone.
Most of the young girls waited with the chaperone in the waiting room, and met their partners right before entering and waited to enter the banquet hall.
Everyone could hear me gossiping, even though I didn’t recognize the Countess.
The countess, in a classy dark brown dress with white trim, did not even sneer.
“Are you trembling?”
“I would be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous.”
“The eyes don’t lie. Even if I tremble, I won’t run away.”
I smiled.
“It always caused a lot of trouble. It would have been nice if I had brought joy to my wife, even a little.”
The Countess rolled her eyes lightly in disbelief, but I knew better that it was just an attitude.
Because of the Countess, who stood by my side like a gatekeeper who was escorting me, it was fortunate that the Amon people had not already gathered.
A view of the hall could be seen through the large open door.
Surprisingly, the couple who adorned the first dance told the story of Her Majesty Princess Aloisia and Prince Alexis, whom she had only heard of.
The sight of two brothers and sisters holding hands and dancing with an age difference of more than 10 years was more unbalanced than cool.
Princess Aloisia had her curly gray-brown hair neatly trimmed and squinted at the stretching hall with a frightened look.
The hand holding the younger brother, who was barely over half his height, was in danger because it was difficult to support the layer of inflated skirt.
The prince who held his older sister’s hand was literally ordinary.
The blonde hair resembling the queen stood out a little, but the brooch that was decorated with dignity was so large that it made her small shoulders look pitiful.
The countess’ eyes were particularly sharp as she watched the scene.
After the short dance of the royal siblings ended, other couples started entering through the doors connected to both waiting rooms.
‘…… The young girl of …… It is!’
The sound of cheers and echoes combined was not audible.
As soon as it was our turn, Casio Brahmanduff stood by the door and held out his hand again.
I put my hand back into it nervously.
A spacious, elegant hall that seems to slide on your feet. The center of the hall, which would normally be crowded with people, was empty.
“Lady Emilia Klee of the Klee family, Sir Casio Bramanduff of the Brahmanduff family enter!”
Couples entering the ballroom for their first dance are all equal, so it was customary to introduce fairly concise greetings.
I felt the strength in the man’s hand holding my hand and lifted my head.
Countess McGinty tapped her on the shoulder as if to cheer her up. The man’s lead was slippery.
As soon as I entered the hall, people’s eyes poured in.
Strangers were looking at me and the man next to me with curious faces.
Just hold hands in the middle of the hall, greet each other, and walk towards the others. Even though I thought it was no big deal, my body kept getting stiff.
As Casio Brahmanduff supported me, he whispered, supporting my shoulder with one arm.
“Are you nervous?”
At first glance, it might have sounded like a friendly whisper between partners, but it was a strange sound.
I opened my eyes wide. Behind his shoulder, he could see the figures of those who had already entered.
A princess who walks around holding hands with a prince who can barely come to my chest as her partner. Countless people… … .
After a moment when a second seemed like a hundred seconds, he finished his ceremonial greeting and left the center of the hall.
A loud voice was heard.
“Lady Elodie Dieta of House Dianta, Sir Laertes Hope of House Hope!”
I experienced what it felt like to freeze my blood for a moment.
My body became cold in an instant. I have to look behind my back. It wasn’t something I expected at all.
As if a man was leading me, he slowly pulled his arm out. Looking back, I saw a pair of dazzlingly beautiful men and women.
Elodie smiled a little awkwardly because it was unfamiliar to a place with a lot of people.
And Laertes, who slowly leads her as if he is considerate of her.
As soon as I checked the cold silver hair, my hand reflexively tightened. I had to force my legs to avoid falling.
With the corners of my lips stiffened, I smiled. I had no choice but to do so.
Even though I knew I had to take my eyes off them, I couldn’t take my eyes off them without realizing it.
Laertes, dressed in a dark blue suit, at first glance had an expressionless face as usual.
The dark purple eyes froze the moment they found me as they looked at the ball indifferently.
I’ve never seen those purple eyes fluctuate so violently before or after.
‘Emilia.’
It was as if he had said so with his lips. Perhaps it is an illusion. Reflexively, strength entered the fingers that grabbed Casio’s hand.
Casio looked at me like that with an expressionless expression.
It was an unreadable face. He just grabbed my hand with strength and led him as if to lead.
The gray eyes of the man, who only smiled casually and arrogantly in front of others, looked like glass grains without light.
As soon as the couple, seated in the center of the hall, greeted everyone, enthusiastic cheers were heard. There was also applause.
It deserved it. They were the most beautiful men and women I had ever seen.
should have guessed It wasn’t unexpected.
The few remaining pairs took turns entering, and soon the dancing began.
