The bad ending of an Otome game MTL - Chapter (220)
Episode 220

“Are you trembling?”
Alogia raised her head at the Archduke’s question.
The Archduke, who thought he was frightened, smiled kindly at Alogia’s actions, who had her head bowed to the floor as if depressed.
“do not worry. Both cause and justice are on our side.”
The Archduke tapped Alogia on the shoulder.
“Are you ready for what to say today?”
“Yes.”
“okay.”
“Hey, Lady Elodie…….”
“do not worry. She’s a very strong girl. I have an appointment anyway, so Sir Edmund has no choice but to accompany us in the middle. Will you ever harm Elodie before that?”
Instead of arguing or refusing, Alogia bit her lip wildly.
“…… Grand Duchess, are you okay?”
“Hey, what’s wrong with that person? I am in a safe place.”
The Archduke said in a sarcastic tone.
“Anyway, the forces of the Knights of Glamis will be useful in this opportunity. Thanks to you.”
“…… Yes.”
“Outwardly, you are the only heir to the throne, so everyone will notice you, but…… Just be patient. It’s because you can name me as your successor.”
“I know.”
“Cassio-kun, you’ve been so ignorant, I was wondering what the hell was going on. Now come and fully support me.”
It would have been nice if the Archduke showed a little bit of guilt.
The treatment of Elodie, the feelings of the Grand Duchess who kept silence, and the will of Alogia, the ‘appropriate heir to the throne’.
Even just once, if he had thought about it from the other side, he might have known.
The troops that Casio had written down and turned to ‘this way’ were waiting inside the palace. But even so, the numbers were insufficient to deal with all of the Guards Knights.
So the Knights of Glamis was going to be waiting near the royal palace. At the scheduled time, he was planning to break through the main gate and rush into the palace.
“Even if you are afraid, take courage. If you wish, I can spare your mother.”
First of all, the Archduke was a person who had been ‘officially’ invited. But the Queen would not have expected the Archduke to enter in the right way at the right time.
In the wide, dark carriage, Alogia smiled at the archduke who made up his friendly voice. To the end, it’s like being afraid and afraid, but forcing yourself to courage.
It was funny. To save a queen who had a relationship with an enemy country alive. It was nothing but killing.
Even if left alive, it is only an obstacle for Alogia, the ‘appropriate’ heir to the throne. However, it is suitable as a weakness of the weak and docile Alogia.
No matter how much life was threatened. Even if it was to the point of crying and swearing to the Archduke to save his life and to protect him. If left alive, it’s a weak point that can control Aloisia. The Grand Duke is thinking.
However, I will never let the little prince live.
‘My Majesty the Princess. It’s not like we’re in an upright position.’
The king’s seat, I never wanted.
Especially if it’s a place full of the secrets and history of such an ugly bloodline.
‘I understand that you are worried about me. Until now, I’ve been like that… … The men I dealt with, and the me who planned to strike the Archduke in the back of the head, the essence of their actions must be fundamentally the same. From the Air Force’s point of view… … Well, I must be a flower snake.’
I pretended not to know and tried to run away. And I almost died.
Is it too much to just say ‘I just want to live’? Is it arrogant to say that you want to keep the minimum level of trust even if you are forced to see someone’s blood?
“Your Majesty the Grand Duke is very generous.”
‘It is said that life is good even if you roll in the dog poop, Princess! Well, if you’re bored, I’ll read you a book anytime. If the crazy stalker gets attached to the princess, I’ll hit the back of the head.’
Even though Alogia was born into a royal family, she never once thought that I could be the protagonist of my destiny or an important figure in a ‘story’ of something.
It’s up to someone cooler, more capable, and more daring.
‘The Knights of Glamis do not obey unqualified people. Spread your shoulders, Princess. I am your vassal insofar as I believe that you will do your best for my family and for all the people you cherish.’
“I will definitely repay that kindness later.”
Alogia laughed bashfully.
As if he was very shy and hid his trembling heart.

‘Elodie’ struggled to control his breathing.
The black tea was deliberately pressed to the lips. I thought about taking a sip, but I stopped because the effect of the drug was too strong and I couldn’t move when I needed it.
The butler, who stretched out like a corpse, put him in a dark and quiet box like a coffin. The lid was closed, and it was loaded into the carriage. It seemed that Emilia and Edmund’s voices could be heard faintly.
After arriving inside the queen’s palace, the box was moved by someone’s hand.
When the box was placed on the floor with a chin, a sound, Elodie felt a cool energy. I knew instinctively. ‘Altar’ is next to it. I got goosebumps on my skin.
here it is The place where he died over and over again. On the altar, dying like garbage, the place where I instinctively begged over and over again.
It was as if the dark aura had stopped breathing. The resentment that I couldn’t figure out who it belonged to was like a cored crystal.
As he clenched his teeth to prevent the sound of breathing from leaking out, Elodie recalled the existence of the dagger hanging from the inside of his thigh.
“It looks like that is ‘the’ sacrifice.”
It was a cold voice. It was an unfamiliar voice. But strangely, it sounded like a familiar voice. But instinctively I knew. That opponent is called the ‘enemy’.
“That’s right.”
Edmund’s voice followed.
“You brought Emilia Klee, where is she?”
“Do you need to worry about that?”
Edmund said nervously.
“…… To the last, without Emilia Klee’s presence, it’s impossible to know if the ritual will be established… … .”
“The presumptuous rebellion is over. Laertes Hope, even if you say you can’t secure it, you won’t fail as long as the Marquis of Irene is there. Emilia’s blood will also be used as a catalyst.”
“The deceased would have said that ‘the object he loved the most’ was the most appropriate. Even before I die, I wish I had awareness of my own existence and made a decision with all my might… … .”
“Could it be that Ophelia did that?”
Edmund’s voice sounded absurd.
“I hope you don’t do something crazy to avoid my eyes and forcefully put Emilia on the altar. We cooperated because the minimum purpose is the same, but if you do something cheeky beyond that… … I also have prepared at least one last resort.”
“…….”
The opponent was silent for a long time.
“…… Is there no objection to the resurrection of Ophelia Windrose?”
“Of course.”
“Even if things change or problems arise, are you willing to give everything for the resurrection of Ophelia?”
“That’s right.”
“great. Then I will not disturb you.”
The sound of something like long robes rubbing against the floor was heard. It was then. With a rattling sound, the coffin lid opened.
Elodie was relieved that he was lying, literally, like a corpse. The opponent stroked Elodie’s cheek. It felt as cool as snake skin.
“…… After the ‘Ritual’ proceeds in any way, the self of the sacrifice will be destroyed in some way. There will be no going back anyway.”
“What about the ‘Holy Relic’ that Her Majesty the Queen promised?”
“I will give it to you after the ceremony preparations are complete. Aren’t you planning on not participating in the Pre-Harvest celebration anyway?”
“…… The face will be visible in the middle. And, where is the guarantee that you won’t play with the relics at the most important moment? Leave it now.”
“Your Majesty your Majesty does not trust you completely.”
“It’s not Her Majesty, it’s that you guys don’t believe it.”
Edmund’s voice turned completely gloomy.
“I wanted you to tell me the truth of the world and to tell me about the goddess’ plans, but I don’t want you to be mistaken that I will go along with your plans.”
His voice, as if threatening to growl, was harsh.
“With this damn royal blood flowing through my body, my knowledge, sacrifices, and holy things, will I be able to withstand it even if I throw it away for a completely different purpose?”
“…….”
“If the consciousness is wrong, the world will be destroyed? Goddess’ plan? So the ‘perfect goddess’ must be sent down… … . haha. You’re good at talking. What you really want isn’t Lady Ophelia, but the goddess’ personality itself, right? But I am different. As long as Lady Emilia is by my side, Lady Ophelia will never leave this earth either. The wrath of the shell goddess, all of you, go all out!”
Elodie flinched at the madness emanating from Edmund’s voice.
In the ending of the game, Elodie was sacrificed over and over again. Unbelievers had captured them and sacrificed them at the hands of Edmund.
However, it has never been ‘successful’. The results were not good. Perhaps after Elodie’s death, all those worlds would have ended.
In any case, as long as there is a ‘vessel’ of the goddess, whether perfect or imperfect on earth, the goddess cannot fully exert her full power. Therefore, only after swallowing the vessel of Elodi, who was born to die, did the goddess fully express her hatred.
This is the last time.
Ironically, this is the last chance that the true Ophelia can be ‘resurrected’.
At that moment, Elodie felt a strange energy. At the end of the hallway next to the altar, I felt the presence of something. Normally I wouldn’t have felt it, but now that I’ve become more sensitive, I could notice it.
Elodie opened his eyes only when he was convinced that no one was paying attention to him and glanced at the side where he felt popular.
‘Lady Emilia!’
Emilia was there, hiding behind a pillar, listening to the story.
“Anyway, after ‘Resurrection’, your first goal will be achieved. I don’t know what the world will be like after that. So when I look at you, I want you to know the subject and turn it off.”
“…… I wish the queen hadn’t ruined things this much… … . The Archduke is so useless.”
As if lamenting, the woman clenched her teeth and spoke.
“Well, good. like……. But Sir Edmund, you better stay vigilant. In particular, please do not put too much faith in sacrifices.”
The woman turned back slowly.
“Especially, the reason why the person who used to be our biggest supporter suddenly changed his mind.”
Obviously, it was the words uttered while looking towards ‘Emilia Klee’.
