The bad ending of an Otome game MTL - Chapter (36)
Episode 36
I remember Ophelia, who had an arrogant face as if to ridicule everything in the world.
Hair that shone like a halo. A forehead that shone as white as ivory.
Bright green eyes as if they could not imitate the light no matter what jewelry they brought.
A girl who didn’t hesitate to pour out cynical words above all else with her lips as lovely as petals.
Tyrant, or goddess.
okay. She had a really strange light.
Everything she said seemed the truth.
Even Casio, who despises humans like clever ants, was so moved by her light that there was nothing more to say.
People literally believed in her.
Had she not been dead and had even been born into a royal family, she would have been able to obtain the queen’s crown without difficulty.
Of course, she would have looked at even the coffin with stone-cold eyes.
Did she really give Edmund Gloucester a chance? I don’t think it’s Casio.
She was equally cold to everyone except Emilia, but there was a class in her coldness.
She and Emilia had been with her since childhood, and some servants and Laertes managed to keep some kind of good.
But for others, it wasn’t good enough.
Of course, Ophelia was cold and cold to Casio Brahmanduff, but her attitude towards Edmund Gloucester was…….
The man’s blue eyes flashed with an unusual light.
Casio clicked his tongue in his mind.
“If only I lost her this time…….”
I could see veins spurting on the back of the man’s hand, clenching his fist into the air.
If it were the ‘original’ Casio Brahmanduff, he would have thought that Edmund Gloucester was a pretty good hand.
Whatever the circumstances of the Gloucester family, whether Edmund is an anxious time-bomb man who doesn’t know where to go, anyway, it’s rare to find a man with that level of position and power.
Even more so, if given the right motivation, he will never give up.
Casio Brahmanduff, who enjoys treating people like finger puppets, was too rude to ignore them.
Suddenly, there was the sound of grinding teeth.
Just imagining it was terrible. Edmund Gloucester’s eyes fluttered intricately in the air.
“What if I lost it?”
“Because I can’t stand it any longer.”
What are you holding on to?
A sharp smirk crossed Casio Brahmanduff’s eyes and then disappeared.
In the first place, did Edmund Gloucester ever have Ophelia?
When I think about it again, the reason the author, who was at least calm at her funeral, is now running wild like an unbridled foal has been clearly stated.
Yes, if it had been the way it was, surely everyone at the funeral should have had a fight, wiping out the bad feelings they had buried in the past.
But everyone was silent. It also meant to be polite on the way to the dead… … .
Casio Brahmanduff recalled the image of Emilia wearing a black dress and not shed a single tear.
With a dry, cold and insensitive face, she presented a bouquet of five colors on a coffin.
Looking at each one separately, even two pony-like men that no one else in the world could handle could not help but remain silent by her side.
The nominal resident was a marquis couple with children, but the actual resident they accepted was none other than Emilia. It was the only thing everyone felt.
Even if she hadn’t shed a single tear, even if she ignored all the innumerable white lilies and offered a beautiful and dazzling bouquet, she was the companion the dead really wanted.
okay. Even if Ophelia died, even if their goddess, who was so brilliant, beautiful and cruel, died, as long as Emilia remained there, she even thought that it was not like they had left Ophelia in the true sense of the word.
All too naturally, they stop by the Marquis even without Ophelia, throwing their usual venom against Emilia, and the thorny rebuttal of Emilia, as always, returns to the venom of how peaceful she is without Ophelia… … .
I thought those days would continue.
No one knew that Emilia would suddenly disappear as if ridiculing them as if they were an illusion.
Edmund Gloucester tried to pretend not to, but was one of those who stumbled more than anyone after Emilia disappeared.
It seems that he himself was trying to rationalize that Ophelia was dead, so it was natural, but Cassio was slightly wrong.
Of course, Edmund Gloucester didn’t just ruin himself by falling into chaos for no reason, but he came to his senses within a few months… … .
For a moment, Casio Brahmanduff felt a little uncomfortable.
‘He’ Edmund Gloucester came to his senses within a few months of the situation?
why?
When I thought about it again, it was strange.
Edmund Gloucester was originally more aware of Laertes Hope than anyone else.
From the beginning, Ophelia was the most favorable person of the opposite sex, so there was sufficient reason to check it.
Even Emilia—even though she calmly refuted it on the day of the funeral—was not the friendliest person compared to the others.
Considering the face of Elodie, a guest at the Marquis of Windrose, Laertes Hope was Edmund Gloucester’s best competitor.
But what about Edmund Gloucester, who has come to Casio and is giving him an apparently hostile gaze?
First of all, Emilia is staying in a townhouse in the name of the Countess McGinty, not Casio’s, so it was the Brahmanduff family’s main residence that Edmund Gloucester attacked without notice.
Casio stood in front of the table in my office and snorted the next moment when he saw the visitor with ferocious eyes as if he was about to swing a fist at him.
“So, wouldn’t it be better to be clear? In any case, whoever chooses to be the Cavalier is up to the Lady. Do stupid men have the right to argue over Lady’s choice?”
“Wow, what?”
“Surely Sir Edmund Gloucester, under the world, is not confident that he will be chosen, so he is not going to rush into an opponent who appears to be an open competitor and push a nonsensical coercion? no way. To the honor of House Gloucester, I apologize for my rude guess.”
Edmund Gloucester’s face flushed red from the insult.
“I haven’t met Lady Elodie in person, but I’ve heard rumors about it. A virtuous, beautiful, and noble lady?”
“Yeah, yes! So he dares… … .”
“A wise lady would make a wise choice.”
“Lord, how do you know if you will be seduced by the whispers of the flying flies around you and be seduced by the shiny exterior…… !”
So, am I the candidate who can boast of that ‘shiny exterior’ and infuse the ‘whisper of a swarm of flies’?
No matter how much I listen to it, the real object that this man is wary of is……. The gray eyes lit up for a moment with an eerie light.
Casio Brahmanduff smiled broadly. It was such a perfect laugh that it looked more like a mockery.
“What about the shiny exterior?”
“Wow, what?”
“The most plausible ornament for a beautiful and virtuous lady is a plausible handsome man with a perfect background. Sir Gloucester, you are ignorant of the rules of the social world. You and I, at first, as male nobles who have reached the age of majority, there is a knighthood in terms of face, but that’s the end of it, isn’t it? There is no achievement as plausible as Sir Laertes in the world, so you have to show off your appearance.”
Of course, the word ‘there is an end’ was ambiguous in many ways.
Right now, the current head of the Brahmanduffs was the minister of finance, favored by the now languid king, and it was said that Casio Brahmanduff was involved in various family decisions and multiplied his enormous fortunes.
Even if Edmund Gloucester was not famous for his armed forces, there was a saying that he was a master of theology and a researcher of magic that was almost dead in this country.
Of course, there was no real power in the current reality, where neither the authority of religion nor the substance of magic was half dead, but nonetheless, the image of a scholar devoted to research was combined with an intellectual appearance, so the image in the social world was not bad.
Well, the fact that the Gloucester family itself is a prestigious family that has been doing well since the days of its predecessors will also play a part.
In any case, Casio Brahmanduff quite effectively reversed Edmund Gloucester’s outfit.
Edmund Gloucester had a deep-rooted inferiority complex toward Laertes Hope.
At first glance, the fields of expertise are different, but they each have good looks and great bloodlines, so I wonder why they need to care so much… … .
Edmund’s face grew even worse.
“You say I’m worse than Inspector Laertes?!”
“I didn’t mean to say it that way.”
Of course, that’s exactly what I meant.
Casio Brahmanduff shrugged, as if sorry.
Sunlight pouring in from the window lit up the man’s blonde hair and elegant gray eyes like a painting.
“Comparing Lord Laertes under the heavens, who among us would be proud? He has received allegiance from the proud Knights of Glamis, and he has also wiped out the enemies aiming for the border. An unsettling group that emerged after a disaster 20 years ago… … . Did you say unbelievers? Those who attempted to make human sacrifices were also effectively eradicated. A young hero. Would anyone of our age dare to follow him?”
The man’s blue eyes twitched in anger.
Shall we spice it up a bit more?
Casio opened his mouth with an exaggerated tone as he twirled the high-quality pen on his fingertips.
