The bad ending of an Otome game MTL - Chapter (132)
Episode 132
“Whether it’s theology or magic, you basically need a ‘pay’ for ‘results’. In theology, there are vague stories about receiving miracles, divine mercy, or human faith in return… … I don’t think so.”
Edmund opened the book.
“Magic also requires very demanding conditions and sacrifices to form power when performing large-scale rites. Whether it be a material, an offering, or a catalyst for the formation of power. There are many descriptive words, but the essence is the same. It is also the reason why magic and theology have not developed much. Alchemy turning lead into gold would be meaningless if the cost of producing gold was higher than that of conventional gold.”
“Are you saying that the development didn’t work out because Suzy’s calculations weren’t right?”
“It’s very monotonous, but well, you can say it that way.”
I asked, ignoring Edmund’s sarcastic voice.
“So why do unbelievers ask for sacrifices?”
“Anyway, if the sacrificial amount is so overwhelming that it ignores the ‘results’, the ‘result’ will eventually appear.”
“What does that have to do with Lady Beth’s book and Sir Edmund’s pack of cigarettes?”
“Special techniques, techniques, and tools that have condensed power in advance can help even non-professionals use magic if the conditions are right.”
Edmund’s voice was numb.
I listened to it without thinking much and opened my eyes wide. So was Beth.
There was silence for a very brief moment.
“That means…… That, the 2nd volume of Amy and Polita… … Do you mean that it is a magical tool that has been improved so that it can be used even by civilians?”
Edmund answered with a look on his face as he saw an unparalleled nerd come with an 80-point answer sheet for the note test.
“Do you really need to answer that?”

When it comes to power, rulers can usually do anything. The queen was even more so.
It was in a dark tent. The temporary tent was too narrow for the queen to sit in and smelled.
There was not even a maid or maid who would normally have followed two or three more.
But the queen was more concerned about things than that. The queen clenched her teeth as she heard a murmur from outside.
The party was moving eastward, where it seemed safe, but when they heard a strange sound from afar, they stopped for a while and were about to take a break.
Originally, I had no intention of making it this big. But I was nervous. It was even more so after the Archduke went up to the capital.
Although all means were used, the king did not improve.
In the midst of this, when the old woman proposed to use the ‘unbelievers’ method, it was reluctant at first, but it was tempting in other ways.
Everyone knows that unbelievers hate the current royal family. Even if the tail is caught, it will be difficult to expose it easily.
What was needed was an excuse.
Now that the king has preserved his seat, the bait that will surely overthrow the Grand Duke.
Both the Prince and the Queen were nervous. No one will know that feeling. In order to tie up the other person, it was not a sin of negligence.
The Grand Duke’s power was steadfast. It is a sin to move the soldiers at the border recklessly, but if you sneak it back and hide the news, you risk opening your eyes.
Not a clumsy assassination attempt or scandal. We needed solid evidence that no one could deny.
As a bonus, the Marquis Windrose also had to hold onto his ankles.
The old woman did a surprisingly good job. Is it true that he had a relationship with unbelievers as a child – although he had taken his niece hostage in the first place – but when he heard that the Princess and Elodie were both missing, they almost applauded.
Of course, he couldn’t laugh when he found out that ‘Missing Away’ was of a different kind from what he intended.
The scenario I had in mind was simple.
Instructs the princess to hold onto Elodie. And when the two of them are together, he makes them attack, kills all the people around, and steals Elodie.
The princess is seriously injured and cannot wake up. It wasn’t necessary to die, but it didn’t matter if I did. Because no one would ever think that the Queen instigated all these plans by driving even her own daughter as a scapegoat.
And he reveals that what the unbelievers have called him is ‘a sacrifice with silver hair and green eyes’.
And the real mastermind behind all of this is to announce that the evil Archduke ‘who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the chaos by killing the current royal family’.
There is no way Elodi, who has already disappeared, can testify, and the Windrose family, who supported Elodie, will be in trouble.
The Knights of Glamis, led by Laertis Hope, will also be unable to use their powers.
At any rate, even if the royal family caught the evidence, they wouldn’t be able to expose it recklessly.
The way to capture the archduke was simple. The Archduke was horny. Even after I came to the capital, there was evidence that I could not overcome my temper and secretly played with some women.
Of course, the Archduke wasn’t an idiot, so he did his own thing. After giving him a large sum of money, he sent them away, threatened them, or shut the mouths of those around them. You’d think it wouldn’t be a big deal.
However, the queen was able to entangle the archduke with the kidnapping cases that are prevalent in the capital these days even with such an excuse. The fact that the victims of the trend were beautiful women in their prime also played a part.
There is a very, very good possibility that the Archduke will target the girl of the lily Elodie, a socialite famous for her beauty.
The Grand Duke joined hands with an unbeliever to harm the queen who is guarding the royal family on behalf of the king who has preserved his position, and furthermore, other royal family members. And they brought people from all over the capital. In the midst of this, even the noble princess was sacrificed.
Fortunately, only the little prince, who was too young to participate in the hunting contest, was lucky enough to avoid a bowel movement, but the queen was also in a huge shock… … .
“…… It should have been like that.”
The queen bit the tip of her lips. Things got messed up. Immediately, Elodie and the princess disappeared.
In case the princess changes her mind and does something stupid, I even put a maidservant next to her!
It was clearly regrettable that the life of the maid, whom I liked in my own way, was lost, but it was an unavoidable sacrifice.
The queen also lost her beloved daughter and maid. It was necessary to take a position like this in order to effectively push the Grand Duke.
Anyway, the Guard Knights and escort troops were removed from the vicinity on purpose.
He made sure that Elodie and the princess were dealt with as planned, and even ordered that the witnesses near them be killed first.
Who the hell rescued them and took them out? I purposely made it mix among the girls who have a hard time keeping even my own life!
Was it Emilia? For some reason, the girl who was Casio Brahmanduff’s partner came to mind. A girl with black eyes as deep as well.
The face that looked at herself casually even between the awkwardly smiling princess, the young girl who had just come up from the countryside, and the Elodie.
It was terribly annoying. Like black ants walking in a row on white paper.
Considering the incident at the tea party held at the royal palace, I thought her speech was very luxurious, but there was nothing special about it.
The past entangled with the Marquis of Windrose was interesting and I wanted to touch on it, but Cassio’s easygoing attitude and vaguely drawing a line put him on hold for a while.
The girl itself was not a big deal, but it was difficult to misunderstand that she was touching the Brahmanduff family because of that little girl.
Casio Brahmanduff, who always boasted of his sugar-sweet speech, was not the kind of person who, despite his appearance, would be in a good mood by tampering with it.
Yes, unlike Laertes Hope, who thought that it would be better to break it if it was not able to put it under me because it was too savvy without any countermeasures, it was a subject that I could talk to.
It was a bit ridiculous when he suddenly left his seat while standing next to the Archduke earlier, but when he saw that he disappeared alone, he wondered what the hell was going on, but he didn’t care because he wasn’t a person who had no secret means to protect himself. The problem was, it was.
‘Unfortunately, Her Majesty the Princess is missing. Lady Elodie, who accompanied her, and Her Majesty’s handmaiden… … .’
When he heard the scorpion, he thought that the people he had planted must have stolen it. Things are running fine.
However.
‘Fortunately, someone has witnessed Lady Elodie and her Majesty the Princess moving on horseback.’
When she heard this, the queen made a slightly bewildered expression on her face.
Fortunately, the knight who came to deliver the news in the midst of the uproar offered comfort because he thought that the queen would be making such a face because she was worried about her daughter.
“…… Should I have just killed him?”
The queen once again regretted it. Since Elodie had to be taken away and used in the ceremony, it was too much to forcefully keep her alive.
But, yes. It would be best if the king came back to life after healing the sickness and performing the ceremony, but as long as the ceremonial can’t be performed, as long as the archduke can be firmly impregnated, it doesn’t matter.
Rather, he should have killed him so that he could not testify while still alive.
The queen rose from her seat. I needed some time to organize my thoughts, so I temporarily entered the barracks, but I couldn’t kill time here forever.
Outside, I have to play a mother who is ‘a heartache because I can’t check the life or death of my daughter in the midst of a riot.’ The noisy outside became a little quieter.
Are things finally sorted out? The unbelievers who did the job were going to kill people in moderation and pull themselves out before reinforcements arrived from the rear in moderation. Of course, until then, this party, including the Queen and the Grand Duke, will be safe.
At any rate, if the Archduke was a fool full of resonance, and he ran out on his own to save others and was swept away to death, the Queen’s elaborate plan would have been useless.
He was never that human. The queen knew better than anyone. Because she was too.
“His Majesty the Queen.”
The queen paused.
“I will go in.”
It was a familiar voice. It was also a voice that should not be heard in this place. The queen’s neck stiffened. I smelled blood.
Tung, Tong. The curtain was lifted. It sank to black, and the man’s eyes were so dark that they looked like dark purple.
The queen rolled her stiff tongue and barely spoke.
“…… Rare, Sir Tess?”
