The bad ending of an Otome game MTL - Chapter (193)
Episode 193
* * *
“His Majesty the Queen.”
“Even so, I have been waiting for you, Sir Casio.”
said the queen in a dignified voice. Sitting next to the queen was the young Prince Alexis, with a very bored look on her face, and patted the corner of the chair on which she was sitting, with a fat face, whether guests were coming or not.
Casio glanced at the prince like that.
“Your Majesty the Prince is very tall.”
There’s nothing more ridiculous than discussing the height of a child while sitting, but the queen just smiled brightly.
“Yeah, every day is different. You will soon be of age.”
Casio knew better than anyone what the queen wanted.
lust for power.
Now, it would be very distasteful for a child prince to be compared to an adult archduke who has a strong support base, but would he hate that fact even after the prince took over the throne safely?
Wouldn’t it be more fortunate that she could rule the country on behalf of the young and incompetent prince?
The queen was sitting in the large drawing room, which the king used to invite his servants. It was not a throne, but it was an arrogant posture with his arm resting on the armrest, sitting on a luxuriously decorated chair for the king to sit on.
Although the prince had been alienated from the conversation, as if he had no complaints, he drew the sword he was wearing around his waist and was ruining the legs of the expensive chair.
“You are already very proficient with swords, so I am looking forward to the future. Who knows if he’ll ever be a better knight than ‘that’ Sir Laertes?”
The queen’s expression changed subtly.
“Well, the prince is the one who will become the king. Being a genius will only be a waste.”
Instead of answering those words, Casio grinned.
“What are you doing here?”
“I have come to inquire about the matter of the Prince’s marriage.”
“Prince Alexis’s wedding? come now?”
The queen’s voice trembled slightly. Casio had a face like a strong mask, as if he couldn’t see a single weakness.
“Yes.”
“Isn’t that a problem that I put aside because I thought it would be too much for now?”
“Before, he was focused on the wedding of His Majesty Princess Aloisia, and then he was concerned about the wedding of His Majesty Prince Alexis. I was only sorry for not being able to repay the trust you have given to our family.”
The handsome handsome man smiled brightly.
“Finally, my aunt gave me an answer.”
“…… Countess McGinty?”
“Our family is a family with very precious hands. You said that you found a good child while taking care of the children of your colleague at the villa you went to this time. My father said that he was willing to accept him as an adopted daughter.”
The queen was nervous. Is this a proposal to hold hands with you, or is it a thought?
It was after the Principality of Aldice had already made a deal related to the wedding of Prince Alexis. Before that, it was a very welcome proposal. But why, now?
It was a mortal sin to bring in a foreign army, no matter how much she was called a queen.
“…… Thanks for the word, but doesn’t that mean distant blood? Besides, her face and personality are still… … .”
“Pre-Harvest Day is a very auspicious day, isn’t it? As it is a day to bless the harvest, a good picture can only be seen when a couple of men and women gather. The royal family has few hands… … . Princess Aloisia is absent, so Prince Alexis will be lonely alone.”
“Because I will be there, it won’t be.”
“If your engagement sucks, why not just have it with you that day? Well, we have no intention of forcing it either. Let the two of you get along, and if you want to get along, then it doesn’t matter if you advance it.”
The queen struggled, figuring out that Casio, smiling broadly, had no intention of providing more information.
Having an in-law with the Brahmanduffs was an indescribable benefit. It wasn’t a proposal to stamp the engagement letter right away, so it doesn’t matter if you take a breath and pretend you don’t know… … .
The queen’s serious eyes passed the prince. Casio stood in front of the prince and asked, bowing down.
“Your Majesty Prince Alexis.”
“Huh? what?”
“Don’t you need the Prince’s playmate?”
“playmate? many? It’s because I’m weak and fall for it.”
“She is a very healthy girl. He rides well and enjoys hunting as a hobby.”
“hunt? a girl?”
The prince’s eyes twinkled.
“I prefer to wield the whip well. Are you giving me that boy?”
“Prince.”
“If the Prince wants it, it belongs to His Majesty the Prince. From now on, everything in this kingdom will belong to His Majesty the Prince.”
When the queen was crushed by the prince’s words, Casio let it flow like water.
“great!”
The prince grinned. If you just keep your mouth shut, you have a gentle and ordinary impression, but when you have an expression on it, it doesn’t look like a child… … Somehow, like a wild dog engrossed in hunting, at first glance, strangely cruel eyes were glimpsed. The queen had an uncomfortable face.
“Then you will know that.”
“…… Did you come to the royal palace to pay for the prince’s playmate?”
“To give my condolences to Her Majesty the Queen, and also to see Her Majesty the cute Prince. It was humbling.”
“First of all, thank you for the offer, but…….”
“But I am sorry. They said that because of the lack of budget, the ceremony to be held on this preliminary Thanksgiving Day will be drastically simplified, and the amount of offerings to be distributed in the capital will be about a quarter of that of the previous year.”
At Brahmanduff’s words, the queen hardened.
Due to successive events in the capital, the finances were near bankruptcy. It was not easy to deal with the day of the hunting competition right away.
In addition, despite disbanding the Knights of Glamis, more armaments went into it than before. Temporarily reorganized magistrates and knights of the Guard took all the additional allowances.
It was not easy to blindly reject the excessive demands of the Knights Guard in a field where the members of the Marquis Marquis of Windrose were imprisoned in the royal palace, and other forces had to be vigilant too.
However, I tried to somehow take care of the preliminary Thanksgiving Day, but there was a limit.
On Pre-Harvest Days and Harvest Days, it was a tradition to sprinkle meat and grain throughout the capital as a sign of sharing the offerings on the day of the sacrifice.
In order to build the dignity of the young heir, he couldn’t deal with one thing at a time.
The queen’s eyes widened, unable to find anything to say.
“…….”
“If the young lady of our family was with the Prince, we were prepared to do our little favors, even for the sake of the future.”
“The marriage between a prince and a king is different. I can’t say for sure right now.”
“Your Majesty, do you not know about the ‘investment’ of the Brahmanduffs?”
The queen shut her mouth. The Brahmanduffs were famous for their resourcefulness. never loses Buy at the best time and resell at the best time. Therefore, there is nothing more foolish than rejecting the investment.
“I just made an offer. In the past, the one who would have welcomed this offer more than anyone else was the Queen’s Majesty. if not…… Do you have any troubles, by any chance?”
Gray eyes smiling quietly as if exploring this side.
“…… If that’s the case, then it’s just a matter of proceeding verbally… … .”
“My majesty, every promise is a contract. No investor invests without an investment plan.”
Casio said in a polite voice, something that was not at all. The queen’s eyelids trembled.
“…… Then there is one condition.”
“Say it.”
“It is to welcome Prince Alexis after he ascends to the throne.”
By nature, bigamy is a sin that should not be committed. So most of them lived with the government. But in the case of the king, there was another precedent.
It was a king a few generations ago. After fighting to the brink of war over land issues with neighboring countries, they decided to send the land near the border in the form of a ‘dowry’ through national marriage. The other country sent a princess.
At this time, however, the king was already married before his accession. He didn’t even have siblings. There were no cousins.
So instead, he tried to marry the princess to a noble family of high rank, but the other country objected.
In the end, the king obtained permission from the temple to obtain a ‘temporary’ permission to marry. It was a bizarre logic that the wife of an enemy as a prince and the wife of a king are different from each other.
According to the theory that the ‘king’ had a higher wife, the queen at that time became the princess of the other country. His wife, who was originally a queen, was unfairly treated as a concubine, and died early in a vase. And since then, that hasn’t happened.
It was to remember that the current queen was a foreigner married in the Principality of Aldice, and if it were not for him, it would be something that only old-fashioned high-ranking officials would remember.
Anyway, the queen was wary of the Principality of Aldice becoming too influential. As long as the Brahmanduff family could be brought in here to check it, it didn’t matter that things got a little more complicated.
Both sides will be outraged when they find out, but what’s the problem after you put Prince Alexis on the throne anyway?
Besides, if it wasn’t before bringing in the army at all, the Principality of Aldice had already decided to surrender the army. If an event is taking place that day, the Duchy will never abandon the Queen and Prince Alexis.
The Brahmanduffs are the same. If you thought you were the only investor and realized the truth, you would be upset, but somehow, the queen comes out of the family.
If you weigh the two daughters-in-law and lead them to a state that is favorable to them, the Queen’s future will be easier.
The queen quickly finished the calculation and nodded her head.
There is no problem with the paperwork. The subject of the contract exchanged with the Principality was obviously ‘Prince Alexis’, not ‘King Alexis’.
“I commend Her Majesty’s decision.”
Casio Brahmanduff took the documents signed and sealed by the queen. And before leaving, he smiled and said hello.
Rather than a human being, he had a skillful and elegant attitude like a demon who came to a human to sign a contract. Seeing this, the queen was captivated by a strange feeling.
Obviously, as always, he is a man who can’t understand his insides and smiles skillfully. The conditions offered were impeccable and could not be refused.
Obviously, he didn’t lose any money, but instead deceived the other party and signed the contract. But strangely.
I feel anxious as if this moment is going to cause me to fall from a decisive alley.
