The bad ending of an Otome game MTL - Chapter (11)
Episode 11
“I’m sorry, there’s Emily. Did you write that as a pseudonym now?”
“I have never thought of it as being grandiose, even as a pseudonym. It sounds a little strange to the common people to say Emilia.”
“It is you.”
I felt a little bad. I answered without hiding my blunt voice.
“I didn’t mean to hide it in the first place.”
“Does such a person disappear like a late night escape at dawn without any see-off or greeting? How much is the Marquis… … No, no.”
I closed my mouth. Casio also turned away.
I was embarrassed by the Marquis.
His emotions were too light to be hate, vague to anger, and too thick to be irritated.
That sensible man must have known that fact very well from a long time ago. Casio Brahmanduff hesitated, as if contemplating something.
“It must be your coming of age this year. Is that correct?”
“Unless you are old enough to forget my age in the meantime.”
“What do you plan to do with your debutant?”
…… Are you seriously asking? I stood up with an empty bowl and paused.
Debutant can be said to live quite well, and only women from families who give strength to their necks do it.
From the age of 18 to 22, the age of debut varies depending on circumstances, but the age of 22 is close to the Maginot line, and most of them take it until they reach the age of 20.
The full-fledged socialite season is from April to June, and the full-fledged debut season is in May. It is the end of March now. Yes, although it is a situation that can be narrowly asked.
I smirked. I got up with a plate and placed it next to the sink next to the counter.
A man’s voice relentlessly followed me behind me. I replied vigorously.
“I don’t.”
“Who is your partner?”
“Because I don’t.”
“Which townhouse to stay in?”
“It must have been that your ears didn’t get better while you weren’t able to see. I am very sorry.”
“A chaperone?”
“It is truly a pity that the heir of the Brahmanduff family was so unwell. The Minister of Finance must be very concerned.”
“What about the dressing room you have reserved?”
“It’s a pity that there isn’t one, I’d like to ask you to cut Casio Bramanduff’s shroud.”
Despite my sarcastic tone, the man didn’t seem offended in the slightest. Rather, it felt a little better.
Well, in the first place, I didn’t even think that a man would get angry with just this level of sarcastic sarcasm.
I poured half-cold water into my share of the glass. There was a squeaking, steaming sound from the old brass kettle.
“I have an elderly aunt.”
It was a rush without knowing English. The Brahmanduff family is a noble family with a long history, but it was also famous for being a wealthy family because of their resourcefulness from generation to generation.
If it’s the man’s aunt who is the heir to the Brahmanduff family… … .
I groped for a faint memory.
Countess McGinty. The older sister of the current Marquis of Brahmanduff, and a lady famous for her decency and solemnity in social circles.
After her husband left her husband early and her son and his wife took over the title, I heard that she left the complicated social world and enjoyed a quiet convalescent life in the estate.
But why that person?
“My aunt sometimes comes to the capital to look after her young nephews on behalf of her busy son and wife. As a token of gratitude, my father gave him a gift of a quiet townhouse on the outskirts of the capital.”
“It’s nice to see a strong family relationship.”
“If I ask my aunt for a chaperone, I won’t refuse.”
“Yeah, I don’t know what kind of maiden will get the luck, but it’s something to celebrate.”
“There are several dressing rooms that our family has lined up for. It’s a top-notch dressing room that doesn’t take reservations on purpose, so you won’t have to worry about clothes.”
“The wealth and resourcefulness of the Brahmanduff family is admirable.”
“I become a Cavalier.”
“…….”
I couldn’t respond naturally to these words, so I kept my mouth shut.
The word cavalier, derived from the knight giving his honor to the lady, was also a term used to refer to a partner who held a lady’s hand at the debutant and led the dance of the first ball.
They are of similar age, suitable for family, and know each other about each other—even if they are introduced, they usually do it at the same level—but it is not uncommon for them to marry their first partner because it is mostly done between each other.
There were even cases of delaying the debut Tangte because he could not find a suitable cabalier.
Heir to the Brahmanduff family, he is also in full swing and has an outstanding appearance.
Because of his abilities and his family, he wants to be escorted by this man right now.
The man’s gaze was still. It wasn’t like a joke.
So, is this guy telling you to go to the debut tangent ball and debut in the social world, because he’ll provide clothes, money, connections and partners?
Heartily? I frowned.
“Why are you doing this to me, Brahmanduff?”
“Just call me Casio.”
“Hey, Cassio. Wasn’t he the one who ridiculed my plight the most? I have nothing and no family, just a self-made young-ae. There’s not much to see except for a little bit of the marquise’s ancestry on the maternal side. In a situation that is inferior to that of a wealthy commoner, what should I do with my debut?”
“If you really don’t like it, you just need to debut. If you join us for this year’s social media season, I won’t hold on to you any longer.”
“I don’t know why I have to do it, because I had no intention of living as a noble girl in the first place. I can already hear what people are saying.”
Without even snoring, I dipped the plate I had brought into the water.
I tried to wipe off the cheese residue with soap bubbles, but I heard a man’s voice.
“I have a letter from Ophelia.”
Suddenly, the bowl fell. In an instant, it felt like the fur all over my body stood up.
I turned my head away without even thinking of chasing the foamy hands. My stupid face was reflected in the man’s eyes.
“To be precise, it’s a letter I left about ‘debutant’.”
“…….”
I licked my lips. Every time I blinked, the image of a man looking at me reflected and then dispersed repeatedly.
“lie. Why is he writing to you? It can’t be… … .”
“I’ll give you that letter at the end of this socializing season with me as your cabalier.”
“…….”
I breathed heavily like an animal that was hit by a vital point. The gray eyes of the man watching me were still.
“Dang, how do I believe in God? How much he hated you… … .”
“Then think differently. As you said, Ophelia hated me so much, why would I make such an offer to you, who I thought was like a thorn in my eye? Why?”
I chewed my lips.
Even though the foam on the hands had fallen on the floor that had been cleaned at the most and got dirty, he didn’t seem to care.
That was correct. Casio Brahmanduff’s resourcefulness was well known to me.
That man was a man who, if he made up his mind, could kidnap me while I was sleeping and make him make his debut in a single day.
No, actually, if a man is sincere, there is no way for me to respond.
I was an unmarried, aristocratic young girl with no money, no power, no family. It is difficult to maintain a good status as an aristocrat.
Anyway, there was only one conclusion. I took a deep breath. As if he knew it would, the man’s easygoing expression was distasteful.
“…… If you confirm the existence of the letter, I will follow it. Someone other than you… … You have to swear by it as a witness.”
“It seems to you that I am a very distrustful man. like. Follow me. Who can I do it with?”
I opened my mouth without hesitation when I saw the clever gray eyes that seemed to laugh at me.
“Mr. Edmund Gloucester.”
Casio Brahmanduff looked at me with an expressionless expression on his face.
“Please notarize your promise in front of him. In the name of Ophelia.”
