The bad ending of an Otome game MTL - Chapter (83)
Episode 83
“…….”
Feeling Laertes’ staring at him, Alston scratched his cheek.
He already had a wife. Rather than romance, they trusted each other and believed in their abilities. They called each other ‘the most stable investment destination’.
“Clash?”
“Vice-Captain, why don’t you use that face?”
“…… what?”
It’s been a long time Alston had heard Laertes make a hoarse voice.
“How many people die because they like to hear the vice-captain’s voice, so why are you being so frustrated? How many ladies act like they’ll faint if Sir Laertes calls her by her name?”
“…….”
Laertes was silent.
“Does that person really hate the vice-captain?”
“It’s not…….”
“Do you have a fixed fiancé, or is your family against it?”
“It’s not like that…….”
“Are we meeting each other after a while?”
“It’s like him.”
“Is it okay if we become friends with the road?”
“…….”
Alston suddenly felt cramped in front of the sky-like deputy chief, who was at a loss for words even with the most natural words and only blinked his eyes.
“I’m not the black knight who goes to Lady’s mansion with roses out of nowhere and serenades them morning and evening with the sound of pigs licking, and if you don’t like it, they’ll say no.”
“…… No, I’m afraid if I approach too soon… … .”
“Dating is basically about giving and receiving burdens from each other.”
The proud hero of the kingdom, who had a romantic history of 0, could not resist.
“I’m afraid I’ll feel burdened, if I don’t approach because I don’t want to be hated, what will be different? Do you think, ‘I’m going to run into something like this anyway,’ and regret it only after spinning around like this now?”
“…….”
“What are you giving up on before you even try? You don’t look like the deputy chief.”
After all, it was said that changing people is love. It must be because the truth is that a man who seemed to have no loopholes in everything is so desperate.
With that in mind, my boss, who always looked at me with respect, even though he was younger than me, now seemed my age.
Laertes Hope, who was serious like an old man, is a lady who makes him look like a young man his age. I was curious.
The Lady of the Silver Lily, who saw each other face-to-face every day and went to social circles, also won.
“…… okay. Thanks for the advice, Sir Alston.”
Laertes smiled bitterly as if he had finally made up his mind. It also seemed a little daunting.
“If you don’t even try…… Yeah, it’s probably going to stand still forever anyway.”
“That’s it.”
“Do you know a good florist?”
“Yes?”
“I would like you to recommend other shops as well. As soon as possible.”
“What store are you going to?”
“Anywhere. Normally, it doesn’t matter if it’s something that ladies like.”
“…… How about the jewelry store I recommended last time?”
“It was nice there. It would be nice to be at that level.”
Alston decided to resign because his superior, who had just realized his first love, was like this. Thinking that I should ask my wife about hot places in the capital in advance.

Meanwhile, when Emilia returned the letter, Edmund was noticeably outraged.
“This damn woman!”
Edmund grabbed something he could get his hands on and threw it against the wall. It was a pen made by a craftsman. The pen hit the wall and rolled in half on the floor.
The butler was not too surprised to see Edmund like that. Willard Cain, he has been at the Earl of Gloucester since Edmund was born.
Before coming to the count, he had a history of serving the king at the royal palace when he was young.
“what? Send the letter back without reading it? be polite? then…… How dare you say such a thing to me!”
“…… What are you going to do, my lord?”
“…….”
Judging from the words alone, it seemed that he would immediately go to the townhouse of the Brahmanduff family and grab Lady Emilia’s hair, but Edmund hesitated.
“If I am reckless, who will I be to Elodie…….”
“Shall I visit again?”
“no no. done. Because she’s not a joke girl Even if you go back, you will only be ridiculed. Shit! I knew that character from the beginning. Oh, I haven’t been arrogant since Ophelia was there… … !”
bang! Edmund couldn’t beat the minute and hit the table with his fist.
“Even if I realized my subject for a moment and lived alone among the common people, my temper would not have changed! Shit! I said where did you go! To grab Casio’s hand and pull him out in the blink of an eye!”
The butler did not point out that the direction of his anger was very strange. Unbeknownst to others, there was something oddly absurd in Edmund Gloucester’s way of thinking.
He would get angry where there was no reason to be angry, and he would be strangely quiet in a corner where he would think he would be.
“If you know my subject well, I thought I’d just put it next to Ophelia’s coffin as an ornament!”
Edmund’s room was chaotic in many ways.
There were two or three unnecessary chairs, bottles of dried and crumbled flower petals, cute accessories and rags piled up for children to play with.
Even Emilia herself did not know, but several jewels that were disposed of by the marquisist at the jeweler were all laid out here.
Edmund inevitably grinds it.
Emilia didn’t know it, but after Emilia disappeared, it was Edmund who followed her trail and succeeded in erasing it first for fear that others would notice.
Neither Laertis nor Casio could have expected Emilia to leave the next day, but Edmund thought as anxiously as that day.
Since Ophelia is dead, Emilia is the one who has the biggest trace of Ophelia.
What if she dies or gets hurt somewhere prematurely?
He, yes, never liked that cheeky woman, but anyway, it’s true that Ophelia cherished her, so it’s worth it. So I was just preparing for Hana, but Emilia left that night.
Emilia did not notice Edmund’s minion secretly pursuing him.
So Edmund crafted his hand. They bought the jewels back from the jewelers and shut their mouths. Emilia settled in a shabby corner, bought a building, and hired some people to watch over the area.
To think of a woman who can survive without fear, she laughed at how short-minded she was.
It was funny that neither that flamboyant Laertes nor Casio, who boasted that he knew nothing, could not find that one woman and sold it out.
I had no intention of going to see it in person.
After all, because of Ophelia, I just kept it just in case. It was enough just to know about Emilia’s whereabouts that no one else knew about.
Aren’t you bragging about being so brash and working hard every day, mixed with the common people?
I could have saved her from that life if I wanted to, but I didn’t. She should have known more about my subject.
Even when Ophelia was alive, she depended on Ophelia to show off her sassy cheeks, but isn’t the situation different now?
However, while not paying attention for a moment, Emilia disappeared like a ghost.
I heard that he had encountered Laertes at the market. So I thought it might have been taken from the Marquis, but it didn’t seem like that.
Casio was also skeptical for a moment, but thought it was impossible. What is the man who always smiles with a bad face from the beginning to come now?
When Emilia disappeared, I was frankly nervous. What if something happened? What if he got caught up in some kind of gang avoiding his eyes?
However, he tried hard to taunt himself for being impatient. It’s not worth worrying about. Before Lady Elodie appeared, she was there.
Now, why would you care about a woman who wouldn’t even be a fake like that?
But when he met those dull black eyes that were sitting in the dressing room as if he were looking at himself and Elodie, it felt like blood was gushing upside down. Those thin, transparent black eyes seemed to criticize him.
I didn’t know it myself, but it was thanks to someone that I was able to stay healthy for the past two years! No one else, grabbing the Brahmanduff’s hand and running away from my eyes!
Just looking at it made my stomach churn. I forgot for a moment that Elodie was by my side.
‘What are you mad about, Edmund Gloucester.’
What did she say as if laughing at him?
‘If you’re going to be a gentleman and court a lady, at least don’t be rude to others in her presence.’
In the meantime, there were many times when Emilia spit venom towards Edmund. But then I wasn’t so angry. It’s in front of Ophelia, so I wanted to match it up with being too skinny.
Emilia’s voice didn’t stand out like this. Yeah, it sounds like infinitely insensitive, but it’s not so cold. My spine was shivering.
‘If you’ve behaved like that, don’t get angry by saying that you aren’t being kind to your companions.’
okay. That was the first time Emilia was truly ‘angry’.
‘If it’s neither this nor me, you dare in front of me.’
A cold hand touched the cheek. I couldn’t even imagine pushing it. just a little girl there is no power If you push it, it will push.
Even though she was a woman who had been so despised, I was sweating profusely. As I looked into my eyes, my mouth was closed. The voice whispering in my ear was sharp as poison.
‘I shouldn’t have shown him acting like an asshole in front of a woman who wasn’t even her.’
It sounded like a bee.
