The bad ending of an Otome game MTL - Chapter (64)
Episode 64
“He’s a good kid.”
“Well, you used to take care of some of the marquis’ users, oddly enough.”
“Everyone does that.”
“And those who once rejected you and turned away from you?”
“From that point of view, Ophelia and I were the only supporters, and it’s unusual that you and I are talking alone in this place right now.”
When I was young, not all of the Marquis’ users were on my side.
Of course, that was also the case in the end. There were people who supported me and liked me, and there were people who were jealous, jealous, and trying to downplay me.
On the day of the funeral, people who saw me without a single tear and said that I was a bad bitch.
That’s correct. No matter how good the words are, in the end I went to that mansion as Ophelia’s servant, maid, friend, and toy.
After all, for them, Ophelia comes first, and then me.
Of course, I made a lot of friends with some people, but that was all.
I’m childish to them, ‘Do you like Ophelia, do you like me?’ I didn’t want to force them to ask questions like that. Because I knew the answer.
Also, even if I took care of people, it was limited to only close friends.
Gently accommodating Ophelia’s stomach, she gave small gifts to close friends on their birthdays. If the condition looked bad, it could be seen by the doctor resident in the Marquis.
Because I’m a human too, I didn’t want to take care of people who looked at me with displeasure every time they saw me.
“You don’t know how many times a day I wanted to distort your smile like a smashed teacup.”
“It’s a teacup, it’s smaller than I thought. Thank you for your favor, Lady Emilia.”
“If you can’t sleep well today, I hope you can think of it as the fault of my little evil.”
“It is my honor.”
Casio smiled and opened the door with his own hands.
The hallway with the least complaints turned on was dark, and chills rushed in just by sticking my toes in.
But I didn’t hesitate.
It was several times more comfortable to walk alone in a dark hallway than to dance among the breathtakingly glamorous people.
“Lady Emilia trusts people too well.”
These were the words Casio had thrown at my back.
“Whether it’s German or a drug, only Lady Emilia knows.”
The door closed before I asked what he meant.
It was a quiet night.
* * *
The first day of the Debut Tangte prom was noisy. Outwardly, they seemed to be harmonious and good-looking.
But to be honest, everyone covered their faces behind their fans and spread all kinds of words in their ears.
The prince and princess entered the hall holding hands side by side.
Lady Elodie, who made ‘that’ Marquis Windrose as chaperone and Sir Laertes as Cavalier.
A woman who resembles Ophelia, who has died so much that anyone who sees it can doubt that it is herself, and shines more freshly than any other lady who debuted this year.
He is even fervently courted by Edmund Gloucester, who was the courtier of the deceased Ophelia.
Besides, the story of ‘Emilia’ spread belatedly.
Lady Emilia entered with Casio Brahmanduff as her partner.
The only friend of the deceased Ophelia.
Ophelia’s whereabouts after her death had become unclear, and it was at this moment that the social circles talked about her existence several times.
It disappeared like a night escape in one day.
I didn’t go out on my own, but in fact, the Marquis gave a congratulatory order.
Even before Ophelia died, it seemed like she was going to be caught stealing the estate of the marquis, so it was said that she disappeared before that… … .
There were all kinds of speculation. Some say that he married a new junior who bought a title with money, and some said that he went abroad.
However, it ended up being a rumor.
Although Ophelia was so famous that rumors spread side-by-side, there was no reason for her story to go wild after even Ophelia died.
After two years passed, even if her name was on the topic, everyone responded, ‘Who was Emilia?’
Just like that, Emilia made her debut with the Brahmanduff family behind her.
At the same time, at the same time, a young woman who looked exactly like the dead Marquis, and the young woman who was known to be the best friend of the dead Marquis, each with a partner known as the courtier of the deceased Ophelia.
Even if everyone didn’t say it, they were expecting something provocative to happen.
Among them, in particular, there was a close battle between Emilia and Elodie.
It was because he thought that Emilia had disappeared from the list of marquis because, in fact, she was not proud of herself.
It must have cost some money, everyone guessed.
In the meantime, if you see Elodie, who has the same appearance as the dead Ophelia, but has a kind and friendly personality that the Marquis wife loves like a daughter.
What will happen? Everyone’s eyes were focused.
However, what actually happened was a little different from everyone’s expectations. It was Edmund Gloucester who had a quarrel with Lady Emilia.
Of course, no one knew that Edmund Gloucester was passionately engrossed in the work of the deceased Ophelia.
Also, it was a fact that everyone who knew that he was an ardent lover of Elodie knew it.
But basically Edmund Gloucester had a good reputation. There were no dirty rumors about women.
He had an academic and intellectual image of spending his own money on a dead study that was far from succeeding.
Such Edmund Gloucester and Lady Emilia exchanged words with a grim expression and finally slapped them on the cheek.
And he was stopped by the people around him who rushed to him. Emilia and her partner, Casio, left in a hurry.
It was an official ball. It’s also a debut Tangte prom. As it is a position where young girls from social circles who are going to debut this year should be the main pillar, there are quite a few things that I usually refrain from doing.
Edmund Gloucester’s rude behavior when he slapped Lady, who debuted this year, was also an act, but what kind of conversation the two had had was everyone’s interest.
Even Lady Elodie’s face was pale and she wiped Edmund’s face, but there was no answer, as the attendant who came to offer champagne testified.
Even Laertes Hope, who never loses his composure, looked so low that anyone would notice.
Others speculated that it was because Elodie, his precious partner, had lost his face at the same time, and that the gentleman, Sir Laertes, did not like being slapped on the face by a weak lady.
In any case, all the other fuss was completely buried.
No one knew that Princess Aloisia, who came out wearing a bright dress, but stared at her with a very uncomfortable face, or Queen Patricia, who had an elegant smile all the time, was absent quite often.
The Countess McGinty remained in her seat without much embarrassment despite the events of the Lady I had the Chaperone, but the Marquis of Windrose was not.
Even so, like her daughter, she was not in very good health.
Laertes Hope hurriedly caught her as she stopped by the break room and walked around with her face pale blue as if she had seen a ghost.
Elodie was also worried, so she refused all the requests from those who suggested dancing, and stayed by her side.
After hearing the news, the Marquis Windrose, who arrived at the ballroom late, supported the marquis’s wife, who was tired of blue.
But the Marquis, as if half mad, pushed the Marquis out and wandered around the banquet hall in search of someone.
Then, with a trembling voice, he asked Laertis if he could not stand it.
“Did you know he was coming?”
The Marquis’s countenance was pale.
At first glance, the condition was not good.
Her eyes fluttered around as if anxiously, and her lips, half-wiped with Rouge, were dry.
It was unusual for him to stagger while being supported by others.
It was not like the woman who always kept the minimum manners and adhered to elegant movements.
Laertes Hope was silent for a moment. A very complex light flashed through his eyes.
The pupils of the Marquis trembled again, perhaps recognizing his agitation.
As the Marquis staggered for a moment as if she had lost her strength, Elodie asked hastily.
“Marquis, are you okay?”
“Laertes, huh? did you know did you know how…… ?”
The man’s face was strange. It was sad, and it felt like regret.
His eyes were very complicated. Something that I do not know whether it is regret, core, or resentment.
“…… I didn’t know.”
“That, right? How, how can this be? Wasn’t he close with you?”
“Elodie.”
Elodie lowered her big green eyes to the floor.
“…… Marquis, you look very ill. Wouldn’t it be better if he died today and rested?”
“No. I’m not here… … . My, did I go away because I hated it? I hate to see… … ?”
“Mrs. Marquis.”
“honey.”
The Marquis Windrose, who had a hardened face, sang as if to persuade, then the Marquis’ wife barely shrugged her contorted face as if crying.
Elodie smiled kindly with a face she had been trying to make up. Then, while holding the Marquis’s one arm as if holding it in her arms, he spoke softly.
“Marquis, you are not in good health yet, but you must have been very tired because you stayed out until late. Let’s go back to the mansion, shall we have a cup of hot tea? I can’t stand it because I’m not relieved.”
“Yeah, but today is your debut…….”
“There is tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and I’ve already danced enough. Rather, I think I will be more concerned if the Marquis’s health deteriorates.”
“Yes, honey. Don’t be shy and go.”
At the insistence of those around her, the Marquis quietly nodded her head. He seemed like a lost soul.
