The bad ending of an Otome game MTL - Chapter (159)
Episode 159
* * *
“The gentle cat climbed the stove first.”
Cassio was quietly listening to the click of Archduke Franz.
“Who would have known that ‘that’ Sir Laertes would have robbed the criminals that His Majesty’s hand had commanded to arrest them. A great disgrace to the Knights of Glamis!”
“Is your Majesty the Queen very upset?”
“You ordered them all to be captured.”
The tip of Elodie’s maid, a woman with an expressionless face, was useful. The report was simple.
‘The Marquis Windrose is protecting the criminals the King has ordered to arrest.’
If it had been the same, the maid who was close to Elodie would also have been punished.
Obviously, Laertes had the authority to investigate this incident, but the report was sent directly to the Guards Knights.
The Queen said that Laertes was also guilty, and gave the commander of the Guard Knights all authority.
The Knights Guard suddenly raided the Marquis of Windrose without notifying anyone.
However, there was actually a secret passage in the innermost part of the building that I thought had no road, so a wagon sneaked out.
Laertes Hope came out of the closed room with a brazen face, asking what the problem was.
He was calm even in the face of threats from the commander of the Guards Knights and the danger of being arrested as a criminal.
Only one young noble maiden, who had been invited by the Marquis, was trembling at the scene, not knowing what to do.
Casio took a sip of the low alcohol wine and recalled the scenery he had seen before.
The Marquis Windrose was literally devastated. Immediately, the marquis’ wife, the marquis herself, and the butlers and servants were all arrested.
Lady Beth, who happened to visit the Marquis of Windrose that day, must have been involved too.
However, Laertes and the Marquis couple denied it, and if it was a crime to receive an invitation and visit the Marquis, it was withheld because there were not one or two people to be arrested.
‘Oh, ah, no. I came here alone. Candles, I’m the only one written on the invitation.’
The straight eyes of Beth who said that I had come alone without hesitation even with a slightly trembling voice.
She must have realized how this happened after seeing the family of Marquis Windrose being captured one after another.
Beth said he had visited the Marquis of Windrose on his own, desperately.
One of the members of the Guard Templar made a nervous voice.
‘Then why is the Brahmanduff maid here? Besides, the carriage of the Brahmanduff family is here… … .’
‘Are you sure you’re not suspicious of our family?’
When Casio intervened with a smile on his face, the members of the Guards Knights couldn’t react hastily, even though they had an absurd face.
Beth wanted to ask Cassio something, but kept her mouth shut because of the gazes around her.
‘This is just a favor from our family. This formidable work done by the Marquis of Windrose… … My Lady couldn’t have guessed, and she was determined to offset the tragedy by making a friendship with this lady here.’
‘Then where is Emilia Klee now? No matter how close they are, are you lending the Brahmanduff wagon and maid to a friend when you don’t even have them?’
‘Especially because I couldn’t go, I expressed my sincerity with a sorry heart. My Lady is still resting because she has not fully recovered.’
Casio smiled at the knight again. In some ways, she was elegant and beautiful, but in some ways her smile seemed to be threatening.
‘this…… My words were not so credible. Do I have to show you the entire interior of Count Brahmanduff? It is a pity that our family’s unwavering loyalty to His Majesty the King is being misunderstood here. Her Majesty the Queen always said that she believed in the friendship of our family.’
‘…….’
When things got there, the Knights Guard had no choice but to give up pressing Cassio and declare surrender, saying, ‘I didn’t mean it that way’.
It was an attack on the Marquis of Windrose, which everyone is condoning… … In other words, it was like biting off prey that the ‘king’ had already permitted, but the Brahmanduff family, who still holds the real power, was a different story.
There were instructions from above, so the Knights Templar, who were trying to dig a reluctant hole somehow, gave up on chasing after Emilia.
That’s exactly what Casio Brahmanduff wanted. To get Emilia Klee, who has disappeared like a loach, out of this case.
Casio felt the Archduke’s gaze and opened his mouth, freeing from thoughts.
“Yeah, as long as the Marquis and Marquis are also old enough…….”
“Nevertheless, I dared to disobey the king’s command and commit a sin of wrath. Why are you here, not like you? Are you going to cover up sinners?”
When the archduke made a displeased voice, Cassio raised his hands and pretended to surrender.
“Please. What if we just have to find out the details, and that an important criminal has already escaped?
“Um, that’s right.”
Archduke Franz touched my chin.
“However, I thought Sir Laertes was a true knight of a truly fair age. I’m sorry, that’s disappointing.”
“Is there nothing wrong with the saying, “I know ten roads in the water, but I don’t know the people in one road?”
“You are right.”
At the subject of fighting hard with the queen to bring the Laertes Hope to my side, now that she is a criminal again, she pretends to be indignant as if she ever did.
Instead of laughing at the Archduke, Casio put a masked smile on his lips, as always. His smile that Emilia Klee hates and warns more than expressionless.
“Are all investigations on this matter up to the Guards Knights?”
“Just in case you don’t know, it seems that His Majesty the King has ordered the Knights of Glamis to disarm.”
“Your Majesty the King has made a bold decision.”
“This is a very serious matter, and Sir Laertes Hope has committed an ungodly sin this time… … He has a wide reputation thanks to his performances so far, so it must mean that he will be prepared in advance.”
It’s like the Knights of Glamis gathered together and shattered in advance in fear of protesting for Laertes’ acquittal. Casio found this series of situations very funny.
The queen benefited a lot. Now Laertes Hope has been completely overthrown, and the fate of the Marquis Windrose is at the disposal of the royal family.
Temporary, but her breath-taking Knights Guard will be in charge of everything in the capital for a while.
And if that happens, the Archduke will probably not feel very well.
“…… Well, I have nothing more to say about the crimes of Sir Laertes Hope.”
Archduke Franz clicked his tongue.
“I just pray that the Queen will take a look at her achievements so far and not make overly radical decisions. How many achievements have the Knights of Glamis accomplished so far?”
“Yes. It is a fact that all the children with nosebleeds know.”
“Besides. There was a report saying that it was hidden, but the Princess and Her Majesty… … You said you didn’t find Lady Elodie again?”
Casio smiled brightly at Archduke Franz.
“From what I heard, yes. That’s right.”
“The King is waking up from a long illness. It is something to celebrate, but it has been a long time since I saw you in a really good state in public, and your Majesty the Queen is so zealous for your affairs…….”
“Do you mean that your Majesty the Queen may have misunderstood after hearing what my greedy vassal had said?”
“Rather than that, are all these facts ‘exactly’ in His Majesty’s will?”
Disarming the Knights of Glamis.
It means that the number of armed groups to be most vigilant about in the capital has suddenly decreased to one of the two.
Although the Capital Guard does exist, the size and authority are different from those of the Knights Templar. No matter how good it is, it is at the level of an autonomous unit to maintain public security.
Those in power who have a civil war or a coup in mind can’t help but care.
“Are you in good health, High Majesty Letty?”
“Your father-in-law is always the same. Even so, after hearing that His Majesty the King is ill, he seems to think that he should go up to the capital.”
A spark-like thing flashed in Casio’s eyes and then disappeared.
The border guards have their own military powers, defend their borders, and receive all kinds of benefits. Instead, you may not be absent without a specific reason. Casio’s eyes narrowed.
“Well…… And since this is Sir Casio, I’m talking about… … .”
Hmmm, Archduke Franz coughed.
“I wonder if His Majesty the King must have ordered it for some good reason, but…….”
“However?”
“You didn’t even give Lady Elodie a chance to explain, did you? How harsh it is for a young lady.”
“The generous Grand Duke, are you saying that you will take the risk and listen to the plea of a sinner?”
“okay. If His Majesty the King is deceived by the flattering vassals whose eyes are wide open for greed to play a role and punishes the innocent… … How sad is this? That’s the case with Laertes Hope.”
In the end, there is only one conclusion. Casio laughed as he heard the Archduke’s words.
Are those in power, perhaps, such consistent beings?
Whether it’s a blue flame or a red flame, no one cares who will turn to ashes and who will scatter as smoke.
They are simply obsessed with the belief that the ultimate winner will be themselves. It was funny, and it was funny.
If you know someone’s desires, you can control them. At least Casio thought so.
The queen wanted vicarious satisfaction for the throne that had not been achieved in her homeland, and the archduke wanted the throne that had been taken from her brother.
‘I don’t need to do anything more.’
Emilia heard that and looked at Casio Brahmanduff as if criticizing him.
The capital was a battlefield for wild beasts. The altar was already stained red with the blood of the innocent and the injustice.
No one knew how weak Emilia Klee was there, more than Casio Brahmanduff.
Laertes Hope? He couldn’t even take Emilia from Casio in the end.
You are probably guessing yourself. The fact that the current Marquis of Windrose will never become Emilia’s safe haven.
Even that fact was so ridiculous. nerds.
Emilia, although she may have mistaken herself for selfishness, was too soft and naive. I didn’t know that there were times when I had to endure the blood of others, and I didn’t know that it was effective.
I was wary of Casio and set it up, but I don’t know how to protect anyone other than myself.
know? If so, what do you mean? Even if she tries not to fall down and is proud of herself, in the end Emilia Klee is an ordinary woman. So…….
‘I’m sure I gave you a chance.’
Casio Brahmanduff suddenly remembered Ophelia’s sneering expression, and his mood quickly deteriorated. It was a sudden change.
* * *
After waiting until night, he moved Elodie and Princess Aloisia to the dormitory to avoid the eyes of others.
When I put Elodie and Alojia on the bed, the bed was a little narrow, but it wasn’t a big deal. Joseph assisted him in avoiding prying eyes and moving the two of them quickly.
Joseph watched, quite impressed, as I skillfully dusted off, made the bed, and moved the two patients.
“No, Lady. Are you too good? What are you doing here?”
Instead of adding that I would be able to do this if I had lived with a sick child for several years, no matter how close we were to friends, I spoke in moderation.
“It’s not like you’re asking about a woman’s past so recklessly.”
“Well, I was wrong. …… Is this building safe?”
“well……. There are patrols around here, but… … They do not care about the safety of citizens in a caring and delicate manner.”
So, I prepared basic self-defense items and lived my life being careful in my own way. Now that I think about it, it was a miracle that I didn’t go through anything major at that time. Well, even now, this area was unusually quiet.
“This building is mine, it has been vacant for a while, and there are no neighbors who live right next to it, so if you are careful you will be fine. But there is no food.”
I sighed and checked the empty warehouse.
