The bad ending of an Otome game MTL - Chapter (107)
Episode 107
“…….”
do you like me It took the weight of the knife in my hand to ask lightly like that.
If it is light, it is light, and if it is heavy, it is infinitely heavy. The man’s face was reflected in the silver cross section and then disappeared.
It was a smile as bright as a very old scar. The scars were so obvious that I couldn’t even guess the weight of them.
Something that seemed to see me from the days when I was chewing the cud again and again when I was a child was tangled in the man’s purple eyes in many layers and complicated like a spider’s web.
Like me back in the days when I found myself reaching out my hand to someone else’s back without realizing it, I’d rather cut off that hand.
“To be honest…… I still don’t get it… … .”
“okay.”
“I, my lord, my favor…… So…… deserve it… … I don’t think so, but… … .”
I clenched my fists, leaving nail marks on my palms. Laertes, who was watching, quietly reached out and spread my fingers.
Every time my fingers, which had been stiff from tension, loosened, I felt a foreign sensation as if I was applying medicine to the wound that had been covered with several layers of scab.
“…… thank you.”
I mumbled in a poor voice as I looked at my crescent-marked palms.
“Thank you, I did, Sir Laertes…….”
A long time ago I wanted something like that. ‘Emilia is the best in the world.’, ‘It’s okay to die for Emilia.’ I wish there was at least one person who said this. ‘Cause it’s okay to lie
In the end, Ophelia became such a target, but still, sometimes, ‘You are the best in the world more than Ophelia.’ I wish I had someone to tell me this.
Very childishly, the subject was often Laertes Hope.
Even though I thought it was nonsense in reality. Even though there’s no way Laertes Hope could be dating anyone else in The Marquis of Windrose.
Just childishly, I needed someone to say to me, ‘I like you the most in the world,’ to me, who had been united with a sense of qualification and inferiority to Ophelia.
It would have been better if the biological parents were a little less miserable. It would have been better if there had been someone who could tell me such a thing, since it is okay to say the words before the sale.
Know. Nanny Odildo, Dorothy, and Chef Hans were all worried about me. loved it
But it wasn’t blind love enough to leave their real girl behind and be the only one on my side.
I was afraid of being rejected, so I couldn’t ask, even as a joke.
‘Do you like Ophelia, do you like me?’
Once, to that question, nanny O’Dill wisely replied with a smile, ‘Both are good, miss.’
‘I know.’
I answered so. with pleasure. so well
For some, it must have been an infinitely childish question and answer. I like my mom and I like my dad, so it must have been that much weight.
I hung my urgency on that thin balloon-like question and threw it away before it inflated and burst. He turned his head and looked away, pretending not to know.
Knowing that one day the balloon will soar high into the sky, eventually bursting and returning as rubble.
“…… If I call, will you come?”
“Anytime at any time.”
“If it gets dangerous, will you rescue me?”
“Even if your place is hell.”
The man answered without any hesitation. I laughed.
“…… I’ll have to be careful not to stumble and fall into hell.”
The knight who never broke his word laughed again. It was a smile like Cerberus, who came up from hell to protect Persephone.

“You say you’re short on money?”
Kitty rolled her anxious eyes. The gentleman sitting in the carriage was someone he had seen Kitty on several times.
It was a time when Miss Emilia had gone away and he was thinking about where to go with her luggage and the rest of the money. Isn’t that what a well-dressed, middle-aged man is calling himself?
Come to think of it, it was Edmund’s butler who had previously visited the Townhouse.
I was worried about what was going on, but there was no way that neither Emilia herself nor a maid could refuse the nobleman’s call.
So Kitty got into the wide, bleak black carriage. Inside, Edmund Gloucester was waiting. The outfit was almost identical to the last time I saw it.
well-groomed clothes. Shiny one-piece glasses. Blue eyes and long blue hair tied down.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about… … .”
“My father is trash, my mother is ill, and my only brother is a slave in an inn.”
“…….”
Kitty shut her mouth. Why the hell did Edmund Gloucester know about it? The borders rose.
Of course, Kitty was fortunate enough to work in a townhouse despite such circumstances.
He wrote a letter of recommendation saying that he liked his hard work and lively appearance at the baron’s residence, where he had worked temporarily before.
There were some friends around me who said I was jealous of Kitty’s condition. The townhouse job was not difficult, and the salary was paid without delay. I didn’t miss out on vacation. It was the best job Kitty could get.
However, the situation at home was not so good that even Kitty could not deal with it.
“You mean that all your paychecks disappear as medicine?”
“Hey, what do you want to say to someone like me? … .”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Edmund Gloucester glanced intently at Kitty’s luggage.
“What is that? May I see you?”
“Ah, it’s her personal baggage.”
Edmund Gloucester blinked and the butler standing next to him handed him a pocket. It was full of sparkling gold coins. Kitty took a breath.
“In front of Kitty’s eyes, see. In return, I will give you all that.”
“…….”
“Isn’t it strange?”
“Why, why do you…….”
“It is not about your precious ‘Emilia’ lady. To put it bluntly, I’m just trying to see if there’s anything that could harm my lady.”
Ironically, Kitty was relieved at those words.
The luggage I was carrying was a shawl, a book, and extra money I had brought with me in case Emilia was cold.
Edmund’s eyes gleamed dry.
“So, aren’t you going to do it?”
“…….”
“You can take it by force. Excuse me, I can make many things. The maid, who had a lot of money in her hand, caught the escape or…….”
“You can’t believe such a nonsensical excuse, my lady!”
“You can be arrested for being condescending to a nobleman. if not…… How many nobles will sincerely find a maid whose whereabouts are unknown after walking around the streets with a lot of money?”
“…….”
“Doesn’t it matter whether you force it or see it now with gold coins?”
Edmund Gloucester laughed coldly. Kitty murmured, looking at the butler and Edmund, and carefully laid down the luggage.
The butler looked at the luggage, took out a book, and handed it to Edmund. Edmund turned the book and stopped at the torn page.
“…… As expected.”
“master?”
“Give me the money.”
The butler held out a bag of gold coins to Kitty. Kitty took the gold coin with trembling hands.
“There are no creases in the book, and you have pocket money, isn’t it?”
“Wow, to my little girl, when the sun goes down…….”
“Did you tell me? I’m acting for my lady.”
Edmund Gloucester replied dryly.
The butler politely took the book and handed it to Kitty. Kitty grabbed her luggage and money and hugged her with trembling hands.
“Today’s meeting is something no one knows about.”
Kitty swallowed the horse that had risen to the tip of her throat. Since when did this man catch up? What were you waiting for?
Kitty thought desperately what to say. Because it didn’t seem like it would be much of a harm to Ms.
Because I was afraid of what was going to happen. Because the opponent is a high and high noble.
Despite any explanations, anyway, Kitty was paid for her misbehavior. My fingertips trembled.
Minions working in high-status aristocratic families should not do these things. If you steal even a single little piece of information, you will be kicked out immediately.
Especially if it’s a maid serving a young lady. Dress design and accessory information to wear on an important day becomes fatal information in the social world.
The Countess McGinty was a real big deal in these things. Of course, Emilia might be able to protect you.
But she is also a guest after all. The guest cannot interfere blindly when the owner says he will hold the servant responsible for the wrongdoing. Eventually, Kitty will keep this a secret.
Edmund muttered as he watched the back of the maid disappearing from the wagon.
“What are humans?”
What stood in those eyes was deep contempt.
“There is nothing you can’t do if you give me a penny. It’s stupid to walk around wearing something like that as a maid.”
“The message came that Lady Elodie died in the marquis.”
“The other one?”
Edmund Gloucester clicked nervously as he recalled the torn book.
“…… It is said that the person who accompanied him was Sir Laertes, so he missed his journey.”
“The capital is there, and you can’t follow a single person in a crowded place!”
Edmund groaned, then finally calmed down.
“Shall we get more people at the old bookstore?”
“Where was the original release of 〈Amy and Polita〉?”
“There are three locations in the capital. They say they’ve recovered everything, but… … .”
“Are you sure you released the copy at the old bookstore today?”
“Yes, it is. It is said that he recommended the book to the young Count of Beth, who accompanied him.”
“Keep the bookstore staff completely closed.”
“Do not worry.”
The butler bowed his head.
