The bad ending of an Otome game MTL - Chapter (173)
Episode 173
Previously, Elodie would often say that he was dreaming of a bad ending.
This time she is asleep by the unbelievers, awake thanks to my pendant. So you may have seen something while you were sleeping. Even for me, Ophelia often appeared and talked to me.
If so, everything she says is true.
“There is not much I can do right now.”
“Take care of that necklace. And Casio Brahmanduff strikes him in the back.”
I opened my eyes wide at Elodie’s reckless words.
“…… Elodie? Hey, Lady Elodie? I think the tone has changed a bit… … ? And who’s stabbing in the back… … ?”
Beth asked in a timid voice. Elodie shrugged.
“He died and came to life.”
“Why Casio Brahmanduff?”
At my question, Elodie sighed with a complicated face.
“It’s long to explain…….”
“First, let’s get the urgent things sorted out.”
Joseph clapped and clapped to bring the situation to life.
“Anyway, right now, people don’t know, but isn’t that the story that unbelievers are using all sorts of means to fill their ranks among those in power, and we got caught up in it?”
Me and Elodie nodded. Bess added Chuimsae as ‘bad guys’. Sir Joseph continued.
“It’s all right. Except for Lady Emilia, everyone here can only walk around bare-faced.”
“…… No, I don’t even know if I should add it.”
“what? why? Oh no. The captain also said that there might be people who are aiming for Lady Emilia.”
“I don’t know if I will leave the Brahmanduff family……. Sir Joseph, can I somehow contact Sir Laertes?”
“Well…….”
When I asked my earnestly, Joseph frowned in thought.
“…… There is an emergency contact network for situations like this, but it is really an emergency network and you have to travel outside the capital. I myself. So a little…….”
Joseph looked at us. It was as if he knew what he was trying to say, with his horsetail blurred.
Except for him, all women, except for Beth, have no power. Even Elodie and Princess Jeon were lying in bed for a long time and barely woke up. only to say
If someone tries to attack you, it will be difficult to avoid, let alone fight. It was not easy for Sir Joseph to leave us like that.
“The key is to secure a safe place to stay.”
“Yes. what. Actually, I looked around this area, and there is nothing strange right now… … . I have something to worry about.”
“What?”
Beth asked in a terrified voice. Joseph thought for a moment and said.
“…… There are too many empty houses around here.”
“Even when I lived here, there weren’t that many people.”
“No, no matter how ugly the capital city is these days…… The number of people coming up from rural areas in search of work is endless. I’ll even paste it in my mouth. Also, the location around here isn’t really that bad.”
I nodded. Because in the first place, I found a place like that and got a house.
“Even though it’s in the back, there are a lot of houses. How many households were there in this area when the Lady lived?”
“…… There were very few houses that lived right next door. On the side of the main road… … About three houses?”
“All the houses on the main road were empty.”
“…….”
“Even so, I couldn’t just stay here, so after Lady Elody and His Majesty the Princess woke up, I looked out the window for a brief moment and looked out.”
Joseph shook his head.
“How much is a house in the capital city, it’s not a slum and it’s absurd that an alley where you can live is vacant so much. Besides, if the house has been empty for a long time, at least some people will try to use the empty house to eat.”
“I think I heard similar stories when I was in my hometown estate. If you give a tea to an empty house, you are unlucky.”
At Beth’s words, Joseph nodded and continued.
“Whether it’s the thugs, the runaways, the ones who live in empty houses because they don’t have a home, or the shoplifters, the doors and windows will be smashed and there will be no belongings left. The security forces are not even responsible for empty houses.”
Joseph cut it out and spoke.
“Worst case, it’s possible that the house itself around here is a manipulative area.”
Silence fell everywhere.
* * *
The door opened without a sound.
“Hey, I see Lord Laertes imprisoned.”
It was a voice that sounded like pure admiration. Laertes rose from his seat instead of answering.
“Ah, don’t you have anything to get up to greet me?”
“Casio Brahmanduff.”
“Aren’t you going to call me ‘Sir’ now?”
You could see the face of the other person who was smiling. The low-temperature gray eyes scanned Laertis’s figure meaningfully.
“Still, it’s not a prison, so you won’t have to worry about a cold. Yes? It’s a hot day, so should I worry about something else?”
“What did you come here to say?”
“Did you think that you don’t even have to show even superficial courtesy when you’re in a hurry? I’m so embarrassed about this.”
“I know you’re not here to joke with me.”
Laertes’ purple eyes shone a cold light. The corners of Casio’s lips, who smiled slyly like a gambler with hidden intentions, hardened.
“Honestly, at this point, I wonder if there is something wrong with the Marquis of Windrose.”
“What nonsense.”
“So, the people who treated me so harshly were some members of the Marquis of Windrose, for example…….”
Casio pretended to be worried.
“Apart from Lady Ophelia and Lady Emilia, it’s about Sir Laertes. Sir Edmund Gloucester, well, the fuse is a bit short, so I’d like to get rid of it, as it has a taste for reactions.”
“…….”
“I’ll get the wagon out until the last minute. I really didn’t think of that.”
With one step, Casio Brahmanduff entered the door.
Laertes Hope was not tied up. He seemed to be afraid of nothing in front of a knight who could kill an opponent with only his bare hands.
“Why did you bring in Lady Emilia?”
The smiling man’s smile was like a mask. Like dried grains of sand under the sand, a core of something too cold and insensitive to describe emotions floated over her gray eyes.
Laertes chuckled and laughed.
“Why did you bring him in?”
“Now, you call him ‘that boy’ with a lot of affection.”
“Then, did I know that at that time, if only you were stupid, I would cry out to you to get out of this place and take responsibility for everything and sink?”
“Yes.”
Casio Brahmanduff lightly affirmed.
“Because the Sir Laertes Hope I knew was originally like that.”
“Was the Emilia Claire you knew such a person?”
“…….”
Casio’s smile stiffened.
“I don’t think it’s something the knight-sama should be talking about, pushing the lady to be protected in danger, right?”
“And when I say ‘I didn’t expect’ to get the wagon out, I mean that I was expecting the fact that Marquis Windrose would be attacked that day.”
“How can I do such an important story from beginning to end…….”
“Did you hope Emilia would do you a favor?”
Casio’s face turned expressionless. Laertes’ face was as heavy as steel.
“It really is a bad taste. I was wondering why the Marquis had deliberately sent the invitation to Lady Beth and not to the Brahmanduffs.”
“Yes. And Lady Beth must have told Lady Emilia about it. It’s something anyone can expect, isn’t it?”
“Are you saying you wanted to show the scene of the marquis flying in front of her eyes?”
“Lady Emilia is too soft.”
Casio Brahmanduff shrugged.
“I was just wondering if I had to do that to feel a sense of crisis……. Well, after all, you’re doing pretty well, far from dungeons or executions, right?”
“If you were capable, you could have adjusted the date by a day or two.”
“I just wanted to alert both Marquis Windrose and Lady Emilia.”
Casio smiled with a sullen smile as if he was treating Mana-sama.
“Honestly, isn’t it funny? The Marquis, aren’t you acting too clumsy? I don’t want to bring in Lady Emilia directly, but still, since I’m hiding two people from the Marquis, I need a workaround.”
Casio played with the tip of his fingernail and touched the end of the vase with withered flowers.
“Lord Laertes cannot be directly questioned… … . Well, in fact, it seems like they were trying to somehow make room for each other to talk.”
Casio shook his head.
“Oh yeah……. I am not a bird who thinks that if I close my eyes, I will disappear from the world. Should I call it the limit of the noble family Mana-sama?”
It was an obvious laugh. Laertes furrowed his eyebrows faintly.
“I wonder if there were not enough places to elegantly invite Lady Emilia. If you give the maid some money and secretly give her a letter, it’s enough to find a third place to meet. An excuse would be a masquerade or something plausible.”
“…….”
“Even if it was to keep confidentiality in the first place, having two immobile people inside the Marquis is absurd. If you get a basement, take your family or anything hostage, and attach people to it, it’s over.”
“Your way is really…….”
“Dirty? Are you competent? Either way is a compliment.”
Laertes was silent. But Casio knew better than anyone that it wasn’t the silence that came from surrendering to Casio.
“I asked why you brought him in.”
Casio’s smile, which seemed like a well-arranged deception, was slightly distorted.
“Because he volunteered.”
“Only for that reason?”
“Because he said he could.”
“Should I call this a rarity? … .”
“I do not understand your attitude, Casio Brahmanduff.”
The gray eyes, which had always been filled with arrogance and arrogance, subsided coldly.
“In the first place, this ridiculous battle between the Grand Prince and the Queen is proof of your deception.”
“…….”
“If you supported either side with all your heart, the weight would have passed. Am I wrong?”
Casio shrugged lightly.
“No, you are watching.”
“Why are you relaxing?”
“You can turn things around any time, any time.”
“Is it because you are making fun of her because you think she will fall beside you if you put your mind to it?”
“It’s a joke…… The language is exaggerated. I’m just saying that Lady Emilia is realistic… … .”
“Really, arrogant.”
Laertes’ face was full of a clear smirk.
“Now, are you laughing at me for thinking that Lady Emilia admires Sir Laertes?”
“The only thing I laugh at is your arrogance. Are you going to relax? Are you going to underestimate your opponent? Even that Ophelia gave up everything I had to get Emilia.”
“Who are you speaking to now…….”
Casio tried to laugh at Laertes’ words, but suddenly shut his mouth with an ominous feeling.
Laertes Hope is the first to tell the story of Ophelia… … . It was a man who never spoke.
