The bad ending of an Otome game MTL - Chapter (49)
Episode 49
It was the first and last dance performed by all the pairs who debuted this year.
After the dance was over, the people who had been avoiding the seats on the edge and those who had just debuted were going to mix and chat.
The song is the most basic waltz.
I grabbed Casio’s hand and danced in a stunned state. Every time it went round and round, the skirt swelled up, rubbed against the hem of another person, and then moved away. The man opened his mouth.
“Emilia.”
“…….”
“I am already on my fifth step.”
I forcibly raised the corners of my lips.
“I guess I should have lowered the heel a bit more.”
“Then I put iron plates on my shoes.”
“You don’t even say that you don’t feel sick even with empty words.”
“My precious partner says he doesn’t like empty words.”
If someone he didn’t know saw him, he would look very friendly.
I tried to get my expression right. As usual, the sweet and beautiful face of Casio Brahmanduff appeared.
I always doubted him. I had no choice but to do so.
It was said that in the letter Ophelia left, something related to my debut Tangte remained. to keep it Even so, no one knew his true intentions.
“How is it?”
“This is my first visit to the Royal Palace, and the hall is really spacious. It is a place where almost all nobles gather at least twice a year, so there is no choice but to do it.”
“It is not open to the public except for New Year’s banquets and Debut Tangte prom. At best, it’s a royal birthday or anniversary… … . Even so, it would be possible for a nobleman who has an invitation and has the means to participate in the ball.”
We moved away according to the music, and then we got closer again. The dance is almost over. Arms and arms crossed.
“Do you want to run away?”
The man’s voice sounded like a devil’s voice.
“Do you want to run away from this place?”
It would have been if it had been it would have been
“…… Why do you say that when you don’t want to let them run away?”
Would you like to see something like that? So why did you bring me here?
“I’m not running away.”
While dancing, the surrounding scene caught my eye.
He knows very well what people in the crowd look forward to.
Cold silver hair that catches your eye just by squinting your eyes. The hem of the dress fluttered like a flower. A man who escorts with the perfect posture than anyone else.
Yeah, I didn’t want to see it like this, so I ran away from the Marquis.
I didn’t want to see someone with the same face as the boy I loved showed up and inherited everything he had.
It’ll be fine if I throw it away before it’s thrown away. It’ll be fine if I leave before it gets miserable.
Casio Brahmanduff’s face was difficult to read.
The moment he looked at me as if to say something and bit his lips, the dance was over.
Loud applause poured out for the couples who safely finished their first dance at the debut Tangte prom.
As I took Casio Brahmanduff’s hand and said hello again, I gauged the whereabouts of the applause that was pouring down my crown. As soon as the dance is over, the whirlpool will start.
Like the north wind, or like a blade.
I always knew that I would never be able to stop the vortex.
If you make a mistake, it will disappear without leaving a trace. In a world without my share of criticism and praise, I would die without accomplishing anything.
Taking the hand of a man who would neither pity me nor pity me, I slowly stepped on the glass-shining floor.
Bright colors of light poured down like spring flowers that fell on the child’s coffin.

“The Countess McGinty will take care of the chaperone.”
Countess Betty glanced at this side in surprise. I smiled mechanically.
It was worthwhile to choose the Countess McGinty as the chaperone. More than half of the eyes of the ladies who turned to this side with fervent eyes like a herd of lioness looking for prey were filtered out.
The reason Countess Betty says it is probably because she had a relationship with Countess McGinty.
Casio Brahmanduff, who was next to me, also stood there with an unattractive and modest figure.
“I used some force.”
“Oh my God, young Lord Brahmanduff?”
Countess Betty pretended to cover her open mouth with both hands in surprise.
But knowing that she was acquainted with the Marquis Windrose didn’t seem so welcoming to me.
Because you know very well that the castle behind me is the castle of an aristocratic family with no real estate.
“Oh my gosh, Emilia. The young Sir Brahmanduff must have been really obsessed. In the meantime, there have been so many requests, but I haven’t been able to do anyone’s Cavalli.”
“It’s an undeserved blessing for me.”
“Excessive modesty is also a flaw in the social world. Hmm.”
It means to stop shivering and confess how you got into this relationship.
Countess McGinty, who had been listening quietly, opened her mouth.
“Every day, my body is heavy and my eyes are getting dark, so I slowly stretched out from the social world and went down to see the grandchildren’s jokes to hear the sound of trash. Still, that ugly nephew is a nephew and he looked for things for me to do.”
“The Countess McGinty is a scumbag, you are fooling around.”
“At this age, even petty gossips in the social circles will wither away, and everyone will have a desire to find a stone that can be used with their own hands. The old man was greedy because he wanted to be calm and not lose his light no matter who stood next to him.”
“Hahaha, I understand the heart of the Countess McGinty. When I see the Marquis of Windrose, well, I am envious of everyone.”
Reflexively, my body trembled.
The Countess McGinty glanced at me and spoke casually.
“I know that you have been unwell for a long time, but I am glad that you seem to have recovered.”
“It’s okay. I wiped it off like a lie and woke up. Even so, you must have seen it because you came today. That Elodie girl over there.”
It was a proud attitude, as if proud of himself. Don’t forget to look at my attitude pretending not to.
I quietly lowered my eyes. Yes it was. That wife also knew ‘Ophelia’.
Both the wife and her daughter were ordinary people.
As soon as I saw Ophelia, I started to admire her as if dreaming of a break from the ordinary.
okay. A person who secretly envied that the ‘ordinary’ I was Ophelia’s only friend.
“Not all villagers come from the countryside, but who knew that such a gemstone could be hidden? It’s a bit embarrassing to say this with my own mouth, but how excited the spirits were… … . That’s youth, isn’t it? ho ho ho. Of course, the calm demeanor like Miss Emilia is flawless, but they are all in their prime. How can you be so shy and lovely… … .”
Unlike Young-ae, who just debuted, I am criticizing my actions of keeping Chaperon’s side without receiving requests for dance from others.
That’s correct. It is customary for many gentlemen to ask for a dance for ladies on their debut day.
The existence of the chaperone is important, but it is not well appreciated to follow the chaperone.
If I were left alone, there would be many opponents who would be eager to come and stab me somehow.
“Yes. I only saw it from afar, but she was a very remarkably bright and beautiful young girl.”
“Oh, Countess McGinty thinks so too?”
“So, like a firefly all year round, it must be receiving the attention of the spirits. Having such a young lady in the social world makes it even more lively. Even if the princess, who is as strong as the unsettling sun, and guards her seat like Lady Emilia, would only be the pastime of an old man like me.”
Countess Betty’s face hardened vaguely. It was because the Countess McGinty’s remarks were strange.
Princess Alogia did her first dance with Prince Alexis, but the two have not acted together since.
This is because Prince Alexis left early and the princess was talking with the queen and various nobles.
Of course, Princess Aloisia was uncomfortable in many ways as if this position was not suitable.
But the mother next to me was terrifying, so I just kept quiet in my own way.
To put it plainly, the one who should shine the most in this place had to be the princess who had reached the age of majority.
At one time, he was also considered the successor of this country. No matter their age or status, they should not be ignored anywhere.
But no matter what anyone says, the person who shines the most right now is Elodie Dienta. She had Laertes Hope as her Cavalier.
Although social circles do not sympathize with people who can’t even eat their own bowl, the situation is slightly different if the person is a member of the royal family.
Countess McGinty cleverly dismissed my situation as the situation of the princess who kept her seat.
Depends on how you interpret it.
At first glance, it looked as if he was mocking him because he was no different than a flower on the wall.
However, in reality, it sounded like a criticism of Elodie, who ‘believes in unrealistic popularity like a firefly and doesn’t take too much self-respect’.
The phrase ‘the pastime of an old man like me’ was similar. The Countess McGinty was a socialite.
Although she is now half-retired, your influence does not disappear overnight.
It means that the criticism that ‘it is not fun for my age’ was accepted by ‘If a big man like me would have a thunder-naked young-ae by my side’.
It can be interpreted as a declaration of guts, ‘Where is the social circle’s popularity this season, my eyes are on this girl.’
“So the Countess, even with a lovely daughter, would come to visit such an old man and praise him. She is a beautiful girl that no one sees.”
It was a direct phrase that had nothing to interpret.
Why are you praising your daughter on behalf of someone who is not your child?
“Ho-ho, ho-ho. The Countess McGinty must have misunderstood my intentions… … . Girls in their prime age are pretty no matter what anyone sees.”
“It’s okay, Countess Betty. When I was young, there was a time when I was very excited to imitate the image of the beautiful former queen. I was so stubborn that I didn’t want to listen to people saying I was inferior to anyone else by arranging a line based on my appearance. After all, it was all a memory.”
