The bad ending of an Otome game MTL - Chapter (97)
Episode 97
That’s it. When Ophelia was alive, she unconditionally took on things that were not even necessary, and it was difficult to say that even if there were things that were necessary, they were different for nothing.
The marquisist did not treat me with material things distastefully. Rather, it was so. You know that if you say it, you will surely save me.
Next to Ophelia, there was already a mountain of heavenly elixir and the most precious silk and toys, but it was burdensome to ask for something new out of curiosity.
Gradually, it seems that I have lost my lust for something.
When I left Marquis, my luggage was very simple.
The things that were sold were only simple trinkets that had no regrets even if they disappeared.
The most valuable items were placed in the child’s coffin. Don’t be lonely without me.
Since the child is greedy, even if her coffin was filled with memories of five colors, she would not have felt burdened at all.
I only kept very little. A few ribbons and a few trinkets.
There was one thing that stood out to me. When I was fifteen, it was like a locket necklace he gave me as a birthday present.
Oddly enough, it was a rocket that could not be opened. It made a rattling noise when shaken, but that was all.
A small bird biting a shattered pearl and a branch were delicately crafted items on the outside, but they were not of great value.
It’s quite large and I’ve never actually used it. Somewhere in the room with some other trinkets.
I answered, clearing my thoughts.
“If I ask, will you do it?”
“Would you like me to pick the moon from the sky?”
“What do you do with the moon that you can neither eat nor sell? Give me a lot of pocket money.”
“Is it pocket money?”
Casio asked again, as if he did not understand the English language.
Aristocrats do not carry money directly. Until the last time, the maid or attendant next to her carries a money bag and pays it instead.
In fact, even when visiting the dressing room or other places, I never touched the money myself. But I said proudly.
“I’m going to make friends and go out to play.”
In a letter sent earlier, Count Beth Young-ae said that if she was thinking of meeting her next time, she had asked her to go to a delicious dessert shop in the capital.
As a me, I had no intention of living in this townhouse like a bully forever. First of all, it’s a socializing season, and the excuse of hitting the ball has been useless since the last tea party at the Royal Palace.
I have to go outside. Ophelia told me to do whatever was good for me.
I am a good friend who listens to Ophelia. Even if you play with Casio Brahmanduff’s money, that’s a bonus. You can write it out with no remorse.
When Casio took me and robbed the dressing room and jewelry store, I was just trembling at the overwhelming scale. If you give me gold coins, I can use them more confidently and more confidently than anyone else.
It was then.
“Aren’t you going with me?”
It was a sad voice. The way she smiled with the corners of her eyes closed would have melted her heartache if she had been an innocent young girl who knew nothing.
No, why is this yangban sticking around so hard? I pushed back the chair I was sitting on, trying not to be startled by the face of the man approaching me. There was a crackling sound.
“What kind of place, no, are you free?”
“It’s not free, but I always find time to be with Lady Emilia like this.”
“I’m sorry you’re busy. Go and work.”
“If you are with Lady Emilia, I think you will be able to spend a pleasant time to heal your busy life.”
“If you’re going to take money, are you going to pay it?”
“I didn’t mean to say that, but if Lady Emilia accepts me like that, I’m willing to accept the misunderstanding.”
After all, that’s it. I took a deep breath. Why is this man really like this?
Seeing him outside with Casio Brahmanduff was risky in many ways.
Of course, I went to places like a dressing room, but my main purpose was close to shopping. It means that the two of us did not go to cafes, famous places, or opera houses.
The face of the man who looked at me and smiled single was always natural.
If it’s a ruse, it wouldn’t be strange if he boiled and ate 10,000 snakes.
“…… Are you planning on staying single for a while? Are you tired of chatting?”
“In some cases…… What, right?”
why are you asking me that
“If you want to use me as a shield… … Well, I’ll put it to good use. I feel a little sorry for the Countess McGinty.”
“Why are you sorry to my aunt?”
“Because I said that I would never have anything else to say to you.”
“…… Is that so?”
Casio’s voice became subtle.
“Yes. I never have any stupid thoughts. Don’t worry. Don’t trust me, trust Casio-san’s skills. I was thinking of finding a good niece and daughter-in-law… … .”
The longer the conversation, the more the man’s face darkened subtly.
“…… Come to think of it, it seems like it’s coming and going. Well, you’ll be fine if you know how to do it.”
“Yes…….”
The man’s horsetail was subtly long.
“If you don’t want to be bothered, so if you’re going to use it as a shield for the hondam shield, I’ll join you too, well.”
“…… Please.”
The man sighed in reply. I nodded my head without thinking.

“Long time no see, Sir Edmund Gloucester.”
Time flows slowly when I want it to go so quickly, but when I don’t want it to come, it often comes faster than anyone else.
Today was that time. I made a business smile with a smile that gave me more energy than ever before.
The luxurious purple dress I wore today was silk that came from across the sea. The long gloves that covered the elbows were also of the same fabric.
She wore an amethyst necklace around her neck and a rose ring on her left little finger. Her hair was accented with a purple velvet and pearl-wrapped headband.
Right next to him was Kitty with a stiff face as if he was particularly nervous. Mrs. Nellie, a professional maid, was also watching the situation.
Edmund Gloucester’s outfit wasn’t light either.
dark blue coat. A shirt with a stiff white collar. Cufflinks embellished with jewels in the shape of a thrush.
The deep blue eyes that seemed to freeze through the one-piece glasses glanced at me. His long hair was gently tied up and hung down.
Seriously, no one would have imagined that just by looking at his face, he would be so angry like an active volcano.
From the outside, it was just an intelligent scholar, Nari itself. But I knew better than anyone how horribly distorted those eyes could be.
At first glance, those blue eyes that looked so cold-hearted, in fact, had poor self-control, as if they were forcibly imprisoned in a blue flame.
It doesn’t happen all the time, it’s something. Like a dragon that glows when touched, it seemed to only happen to the existence of Elodie and Ophelia, but… … .
‘Then what do you do?’
He’s a guy who locks people up every time, misunderstands them, clings to them, and turns them around.
It hasn’t happened yet, but considering what he’s doing, it doesn’t look like he’s going to be reincarnated.
I intentionally smiled broadly. Seeing my smile like that, Edmund’s expression was subtly crushed. As if a piece of cream from the corner of a perfectly decorated whipped cream cake fell to the floor.
“I don’t know if you felt comfortable on your way.”
“…… Long time no see, Lady Emilia.”
Still, Edmund looked calmer than I thought, probably because he did a lot of self-discipline training for today.
“I’m here to personally apologize for the disrespect I committed to the Lady.”
Edmund knelt on one knee toward me as I stood in the parlor. It was quite polite. And he held out his hand to me.
“I sincerely apologize for losing my temper in a quarrel and committing an indescribable rudeness to the lady who is making her debut.”
Do you want me to catch you? I stared intently into the gloved man’s hand, then looked into the man’s eyes again. The blue eyes were strangely avoiding my gaze.
Isn’t there no guilt at all? I held the man’s hand, feeling like I was playing a play. I felt a subtle warmth. That was the moment.
As if surprised by a man, a frog in boiling water bounced off my hand.
I was perplexed. Edmund Gloucester also seemed perplexed.
what, what Why are you holding me out and asking me to hold you?
“Sir Edmund Gloucester?”
“Ah, ah, nothing.”
Edmund stood up, waving his hands in a hurry. In the meantime, he lost his center of gravity and even stumbled for a while.
I don’t know why a decent person would do that. The Gloucester family wouldn’t be a poor family at all. I don’t think he feeds his heirs with any nourishing food.
“An apology must be sincere commensurate with it.”
“Yes. I thought of many ways, but I thought that one or two gifts were not enough to calm Lady’s heart. If there is anything you want, we will do our best to accommodate it.”
“Did you say ‘maximum’?”
“…… Yes. Yes, but.”
Edmund furrowed his eyebrows in response, arguing that I was somehow ominous as he asked me.
“I have heard that Sir Edmund Gloucester has a very extensive list of books in his private library.”
“That’s right, but…….”
A suspicious but alert light appeared in his blue eyes.
I can’t even talk about Ophelia here, so what’s a good excuse… … .
“I recently happened to read a novel by chance.”
