The bad ending of an Otome game MTL - Chapter (85)
Episode 85
What was visible inside was a necklace. At the end of a small silver chain hung an amethyst as vivid as Laertis’s eye. The amethyst border was decorated with silver and black pearls as small as a grain of rice.
“It’s too late, but congratulations on your debut, Emilia.”
“…….”
I just blinked stupidly. I was speechless.
It’s not a big deal, but I shouldn’t be shaken… … Why can’t I think of anything to say?
With Casio in front and Edmund in front, I could talk better than anyone else.
It’s like being the stupidest person in front of the person you don’t want to look the most stupid.
“…… Gosh, I’ll buy you.”
“If it’s okay with you…….”
Laertes paused for a moment.
“I…… May I walk?”
“…….”
“Unless you don’t like the gift.”
“Well, it’s not…….”
While hesitating, a hand approached. Even knowing that he was wearing white gloves, he reflexively flinched.
I was already wearing an aquamarine necklace around my neck, but I felt like my fingers were touching it, and it was as if I was loosening the necklace.
Suddenly, with a very light sound, the necklace fell from the nape of his neck.
The side face of the man who seemed nervous was visible. The eyelashes were close enough to be visible. A gaze of light like a jewel in his hand passed.
It tickled my ear with the sound of her dark hair fluttering as if light could not pass through. My earlobes were hot.
I felt something cold on my neck. An amethyst pendant the size of a little nail rolled under the collarbone.
A click was heard and the necklace clasp. The next moment, like a mistake, a gloved finger brushed the back of his neck. It was as if the hairs all over his body were standing up.
Even though I knew it was an official contact to put on a necklace, my body stiffened.
too close The face that came close enough to hear the sound of breathing slowly moved away as if regretful in the next moment.
It was then that I realized that I was holding my breath. Taking a slow breath, I saw Laertis’s face, which was no different than usual. I got a little shy.
It’s not a big deal, but if I was conscious of it, I would be ashamed. I struggled to make a calm voice.
“You could have just sent me to the mansion.”
“Because I wanted to check your face. The other day…….”
“Last time? In the palace?”
“…….”
Laertes opened his mouth as if to say something, then closed his mouth as he scanned the surrounding landscape for some reason.
There’s only Kitty in the room. Wasn’t that something you couldn’t say in front of Kitty?
“We didn’t talk for a long time back then.”
Looking back now, all sorts of things have happened.
Kitty came over and took the necklace Laertes had untied. Laertes glanced at Kitty like that with a puzzled expression on her face.
“…… Was it because of a gift that you really wanted to meet me?”
“Emilia.”
“Thank you so much for the gift. that…… Amethyst is very pretty.”
It reminded me of Laertes’ eye color and made me feel strange in many ways, and the black pearls with the rims were also not common, so it reminds me of Laertes’ dark hair.
Maybe it’s just a coincidence. ‘That’ Laertes Hope, famous for the iron wall?
“I chose it after thinking of you.”
“…… thank you.”
“…… Don’t you like it?”
“Please. Come to think of it, I have never received a gift to celebrate my debut like this.”
Laertes stopped at my words. Kitty’s eyes, which had taken a step back for some reason, also widened.
Of course, I was given a dress, accessories, and shoes that were more than enough to fill a few rooms.
Somehow, it was closer to money than to sincerity. It must be said that the Brahmanduff family’s wealth is so great, and it seemed to show off to everyone.
I really thought of myself, and there was no item that I thought deeply about and chose for myself.
Yes, that’s where you can get a good idea of what kind of character Casio Brahmanduff is. But Laertes Hope was the exact opposite.
I once touched the shiny jewel on my neck with my fingertips. My chest was pounding strangely.
Laertes Hoprani hanging a necklace for me, a sight I had never imagined in my dreams.
“Emilia.”
“Yes, I am here.”
My voice suddenly sounded unfamiliar.
“Leah.”
I was silent. Laertes’ face could hardly be read. It’s always been like that. It seems to be agitated, but it makes me think that it is just an illusion.
‘You’re both ‘Ria’ and you’re on good terms with Laertes.’
Who said this?
‘Ophelia and Emilia are of the same age, and Laertes and Emilia have the same hair color, so if you go to a place you don’t know, you can see them as sisters.’
As I listened to that, what did I think? Did you want to ask me if you’re taunting me for being like an ugly duckling caught among beautiful swans?
“Lord Laertes, I’ve been thinking about it for a long time.”
I took a deep breath.
“You are not too shy to treat me.”
“…….”
An awkward light flashed through the man’s eyes.
“Are you calling me the nickname you used to call me as a joke when you were young?”
“Emilia.”
“In the past…… It might have been fine, but not now.”
“Am I making you uncomfortable?”
“…….”
It was funny that he didn’t get an answer with ‘yes’ right away.
“little bit.”
“Why?”
“…….”
I was speechless. To Casio Brahmanduff, how could I have a twisted laugh and sarcastic sarcasm, but it didn’t work out for this man who looked at me with a cold face.
Because you are such a person. Because he was a good person who never forgets and takes care of anyone who passes by.
He’s a man who fights to the death with some bad users in the mansion and goes all the way to find the child who ran away far away.
To be honest, even though we have become more nuanced in relation to each other, he comes to the mansion and tells us that it is a debut gift.
The biggest difference between childhood and now is that I have become a person who can tell lies a little better.
I glanced at Kitty and sent him away. As Kitty left, he closed the door and left it a little open.
“We have different partners, but it’s a little bit too close…….”
“Because of other people’s eyes?”
“…… There are things like that.”
He is a sharp man in a strange place. If you’re asking if it’s really because of someone else’s ‘nunchi’, it’s not.
I swallowed dry saliva. I’m not really going to marry my partner – of course I’ll have to be a little more careful as I’m completely dependent on food, clothing and shelter – but it’s a gift.
“…… I don’t want to be deeply involved with the Marquis of Windrose.”
“…….”
Laertes, who was about to say more, shut his mouth. A complex light flashed across the man’s eyes.
“…… Emilia.”
“I mean, you can understand.”
“…… The Brahmanduffs will not be your safe backers.”
“It must be something I have to deal with.”
“I can help you…….”
“It’s too much of a favor for a friend of a dead prospective fiancee.”
The man froze.
“You are too light-hearted to be seen as the successor of Marquis Windrose.”
“The words…….”
“Why are you so worried about me? Unlike Ophelia, I’m not that pretty, I don’t have a lot of money, and I don’t have a family to take care of.”
“I would definitely have said it wasn’t like that.”
A blue light flashed in the man’s eyes as if in anger. It was an angry voice. I laughed bitterly.
“I know. Sir Laertes probably didn’t mean to tell me that.”
“Why are you?”
He clenched his teeth like a man was putting up with something.
“…… Do you express yourself that way?”
“Because it’s true.”
“You are different from Ophelia.”
“…….”
There are several types of ‘different’. That’s right. It could be ‘difference’ in the sense that he and I cannot compare him because he is such a great kid, or ‘difference’ in the sense that he and I have different personalities and hobbies from the beginning, so there is no meaning to compare them.
However, in the end, it can only be compared. same age. inseparable relationship.
Long ago, even he was fed up with it.
There was only one Laertes Hope in the mansion who could tell me that Ophelia and I were different.
