The bad ending of an Otome game MTL - Chapter (195)
Episode 195
“Then, what if the will of the Grand Duke and Sir Edmund are at odds? Whose side will the butler take?”
“I am the butler of my master.”
However, it seemed that the butler was not actively stepping forward for Edmund.
It does the job perfectly, but that’s it. Like perfect limbs that don’t want to be heads.
as an unbeliever?
“If the owner gets ‘the man he really wants,’ either way, I’ll be happy. The Gloucester family had not had a hostess for a long time.”
“…….”
Why did I get goosebumps when I heard that?
It must be Ophelia, of course, but you must think that you want the resurrected Ophelia.
The butler held out a freshly reheated teacup to my messed up fingertips.
No, I had to escape from reality. Edmund now was listening to me, really. Rather than Ophelia at times. Because Ophelia hated Edmund outright.
Even if that kid really said ‘Get out of my presence forever’, he didn’t keep that word.
From the butler’s point of view, do I look like a pretty plausible hostess candidate?
As soon as I imagined myself as Edmund Gloucester’s wife, goosebumps arose all over my body.
“…… Ophelia is not a normal hostess.”
“Because the master wouldn’t want that either.”
The butler sliced the peach thinly and placed a dessert made in the shape of a rose in front of me.
“What he wants is very simple. Absolute love.”
“…… Does he get mad at me for pretending not to know when Lady Elodie is wanted?”
“To him, Lady Elodie may not have been ‘what she really wanted.’”
“…….”
Edmund Gloucester’s face bloomed with flowers every time he looked at me. There were times when the Archduke was a little bit annoying, but he was complaining rather than complaining. It was sure to show the face of a child who was always looking for praise.
There were many times when I doubted whether that was really the person I knew.
In a room that was deliberately angered and messed up, I was restless next to me and fell asleep begging for forgiveness.
“You are also desperately refusing to visit Sir Brahmanduff.”
The moment I heard those words, my fingertips froze. It was a strange feeling. It felt like I was facing something I had been neglecting.
“…… Do you often visit Sir Casio?”
“Very rarely. Because the friendship between the two of them is old.”
The butler’s tone is strange.
It sounds like Edmund Gloucester is desperately holding out to protect ‘I’, beating Ophelia second.
Of course, it is true that Edmund himself regards me as my only comrade and is trespassing… … .
“If I really want the resurrection of the deceased and will be on the side of the master, then I can be loyal to my guests as well.”
The butler said without a smile.
“I will help you save all the people you want. I can keep a secret.”
“There are so many people I want to save.”
“If you don’t insist on the right way, the lower ones have the lower ones’ way.”
“Then we can save this much right now. Shall we take it as an advance payment?”
As I held out the torn paper earlier, the butler looked at me with strange eyes.
“Are you going to stand by my master?”
“To the extent that I can, to the extent that I can accept it.”
I have no intention of forgiving Edmund Gloucester.
Even if he foolishly sticks his head like a dog that has just found its owner, he doesn’t intend to accept it straight away.
As long as I’m using him now, I just thought I’d pay the price in the future as long as I could. Of course, I don’t know if the author will like it.
“Do you wish to have Sir Edmund Gloucester as king?”
“Your master doesn’t want such grandiose things.”
“…… Come to think of it, why the thought, ah, illegitimate child? Yes. He’s a son, but that’s all. Because it wasn’t even officially recognized.”
So the Archduke must have easily pulled him in.
The butler was not surprised that I knew the secret of Edmund’s birth. In terms of attitude, he seemed to be guessing about my situation and my colleagues who would have joined on the side of the Archduke.
Let’s not pretend we don’t know each other with people who know each other, isn’t it?
In fact, Edmund Gloucester himself had no intention of being more vigilant than I thought when I was quietly locked in the room.
The reason I didn’t notice in the game that Edmund Gloucester was the King’s illegitimate son.
It was because Edmund never sought the throne or joined the rebellion among the countless bad endings.
Even if the state has changed from the ground up because of Elodie and me now, if Edmund was obsessed with Elodie, and the royal family’s descendants were so precarious because of the royal curse…….
Why have you never behaved this way before?
No chance to win? Because I could get what I wanted without having to act like this?
It was at that moment when he was stabbing the end of a peach with a fork, soothing his complicated heart.
It was then. A noise was heard and the door opened with a loud noise.
Edmund Gloucester, who had lost his breath and lost his time, hurriedly ran towards me.
The moment the desperate eyes looked at me, they were distorted into complex colors.
“Emilia!”
“Sir Edmund?”
“You have been quiet here. I am very happy.”
“…… What’s going on?”
“Never, never, ever think of going out. Otherwise… … .”
“Please explain what the situation is.”
Edmund, who in the past would have responded by saying that it was better not to know or not to care, bit his lip with an anxious face.
Then, I quickly glanced around the room.
Unlike before, I opened my mouth with a slightly relieved face when I saw the table that was not dirty and was full of things that left traces of Ophelia and me.
“…… Members of the Marquis of Windrose, who were captured by the royal family, have escaped.”
Suddenly, the fork fell to the floor.
* * *
A knight of the Guards Knights, John Malta, stationed at the north gate in the outskirts of the royal palace, yawned. There wasn’t much to do.
To make sure that even rats are not allowed into the palace, the queen was furious, but there was practically nothing to be done.
Even if there were assassins targeting the people of the royal family, escort knights and close associates always followed the queen or prince. Aside from those two, who will you protect?
The Commander-in-Chief of the Guards seemed to have received a reward from the queen, and although he did distribute the reward moderately to the troops under my command who were assigned to work overtime…… Still, it was too little.
At least it seems that he and the deputy commander split the money and ate it, and the knights internally cursed.
The original capital security guards patrolled around the capital and maintained security as they did.
Originally, when the Knights of Glamis did not exist, the Knights Guard took overall responsibility for this area, but there were many things to take care of and the number of troops was limited, so there was no choice but to create a vacuum. This was especially the case throughout the palace.
John Malta paid moderately today to put in a pinch pitcher and left his seat.
It’s not even a dungeon in the first place, and it’s absurd to confine and monitor people who are called marquis in the royal palace room.
It took only a day or two to hear that even Sir Laertes was imprisoned, so I was nervous.
Even if the Knights of Glamis have been disarmed, what if you get a new weapon from somewhere and sneak in or attack with each other?
One day, two days, a month… … .
As time passed, the loose boundaries were broken down.
The extra money is only a rat’s tail, and no matter how you look at it, there’s nothing suspicious about it. It was the perfect environment to escape.
The one who put up a pinch like John had more conscience. Some knights have been away since broad daylight to play their favorite card game or drink.
Even if one or two people are vacant, it’s in the palace anyway.
There were a few eyes of passersby, and there was little room for trouble.
Right now, even the head of the Guards Knights trembled at the queen a few times and pretended to be monitoring the inside of the palace, but I was the first to get out.
So it was. John Malta, who was returning to work just before the shift, just after lunchtime, was startled.
“fire! Fire! The palace is on fire!”
“Help! The prince is still in the palace!”
“His Majesty the Queen!”
Had he had the eyes to judge the case a little coldly, John Malta would have felt something suspicious.
Nothing else, if there was a problem in the royal palace or the queen’s palace, the highest security, a request for help would go to the immediate vicinity.
Although the staffing inside the palace was messed up, even if it did, it would not go to John, who is in charge of the North Gate, for help.
However, as he left his seat right away, he had no idea how the incident happened, and John, who was numb in his feet, ran to the place where the incident occurred, needless to say.
It’s nothing else but the prince has a problem, so what’s the higher probability of being reprimanded for keeping my place of work in the first place or ignoring the prince’s problems?
John Malta, who followed the maid in a black soot-stained apron with her feet rolling, did not notice the people sneaking through the north gate, taking advantage of the gap.
Even if he had noticed, the men leading John would have been stunned without hesitation, so they wouldn’t have had much of a problem escaping.
