The bad ending of an Otome game MTL - Chapter (46)
Episode 46
From generation to generation in the royal family, hands were very precious. It was common for royalty to die suddenly during childhood.
Some complained that it was all due to the curse of the goddess left behind by the first king.
However, most of them were dismissed as savages.
More than 300 years have already passed since the country began to serve the Great God Blitz as the state religion. But no one remembered the goddess’s name.
The fact that the goddess left a curse on the first king who saw a child in another woman even after promising her only love.
The fact that the goddess was sealed in the hand of the king.
Even the fact that only that weak power remains and curses the royal family from generation to generation.
Few people knew the truth.
loved humans The resentment of the betrayed goddess was deep and powerful.
Princess Patricia, a princess married from Aldice, had great ambitions.
He will surely give birth to an heir and take power.
You will be successful in your home country, where you had to leave just because you were a woman.
I had such an idea. However, even after getting married, there were no heirs for nearly ten years. She was very upset.
It was the truth that she accidentally discovered while secretly trying to figure out a way.
She didn’t believe it at first. It was nonsense.
Madness, dying, crazy, or royals born through normal marriages look like that?
So, who is your husband? Who is Archduke Franz, the brother of her husband? Aren’t they both healthy adults?
Maybe there was something wrong with the king, she doubted.
But the king had a very healthy illegitimate child. After confirming that fact, she despaired.
I had to somehow get an heir.
Curse or not, I couldn’t get caught up in anything like that.
If the curse is a problem, it might be okay to solve it, so the queen secretly sought a priest who could handle the goddess’s holy spirit.
And a large-scale burnt offering was held.
Countless people died without knowing why. And that year, Princess Alogia was born.
But the princess was an idiot. Even empty words did not fit the throne.
The queen was desperate again. But he didn’t give up.
However, she decided not to try again a method that had already failed once. That’s how I got Prince Alexis.
“If all the truth is revealed, do you think you will live? you’re welcome. How do you know if they will become food for animals while they are alive? If the little prince doesn’t become king, you will die and I will die. We are already in one boat!”
The queen’s blue eyes gleamed.
The opponent bowed his head.
“…….”
“Isn’t there already some disbelievers who say they are unbelievers? If you can’t find a way, find your nephew… … .”
“…… Not sure, but there are ways you can try.”
“What!”
The one covered in black hooded robes answered.
“Until now, the queens, who were trying to get heirs from the royal family, have secretly held ceremonies……. It is said that every time a ritual is performed, it becomes easier for the sealed goddess to express her power on the earth. That anger will harm the country.”
“therefore?”
“Whenever that happens, I heard that sometimes humans who can be called the goddesses’ clones are born.”
“An alter ego?”
“Yes. Born with a piece of that power… … I heard that it is not even comparable to ordinary humans in many ways. No one knows whether that power will be a curse or a blessing… … In any case, if you sacrifice such a thing, you may be able to use the power of the divine again.”
The queen cleverly opened her eyes.
“Well, if it was the wife of Marquis Windrose, wouldn’t she already be dead?”
Sometimes, the rumors contain the truth.
Rumors about the young girl of a marquise who was as beautiful as a goddess and admired by everyone but despised humans had already swept the country.
There was no way he didn’t know she was a queen.
“Not one.”
“what?”
“Compared to the scale of the burnt offering that the queen made 20 years ago, the scale of the disaster was too great. At the time, I didn’t know why, but now that I see it, I have a guess.”
At that time and now, the name of Marquis Windrose was a subject of public interest.
The fast-paced newspapers sent out news from the social circles one after another.
Among them, there was also a newspaper with a portrait of the beautiful young Ae, whom the Marquis wife loved like her own daughter.
Knights who praised the beautiful and gentle beauty with one compliment.
Bright silver hair, porcelain-white skin, gentle green eyes…….
Elodie looks just like the Ophelia Windrose that everyone looked up to.
“If you sacrifice it, you may be able to perform the ritual again.”
The queen’s blue eyes shone coldly.
In any case, she was a talented person who had endured for over twenty years in the middle of the royal palace.
Leaving the principality as if driven out, he said he would never be in such a miserable state again.
I had clenched my teeth over and over again saying that I would not lose to my younger brother who would become a prince.
It was better to die than to lose all power, to lose even the throne that my son should have, and become like an old man in the back room, or to be entrusted to his own family.
He did not love the king. It was a relationship we had already met face-to-face.
Even if it was an arranged marriage, they respected it as a partner. It was also brief.
Ten years of trembling over being unable to have children. In the meantime, the king gave birth to an illegitimate child.
At that moment, the queen gave up her attachment to the king. There was only one thing to look forward to, the only child I would give birth to myself.
Anyway, she was the queen of this country, and it was natural for her to succeed to the throne by her rebirth.
What’s wrong with spitting a few drops of immediate blood for the future king? I didn’t even have time to think about it.
“…… Please tell me in more detail.”
A faint sound of rain was heard in the distance.
It was a harbinger of a storm.

“Miss Elodie, are you tired?”
“I had a bad dream last night.”
Putting down the teacup, Elodie smiled wildly. As if there were no empty words, his eyes were dark.
It was Countess Betty’s salon.
The host, Countess Betty, was on good terms with the Marquis of Windrose. In addition, there was a daughter the same age as Elodie, who made her debut last year.
Today’s meeting was more like a chatting gathering of young noble girls, including Count Betty’s, rather than a gathering of ladies.
It was a consideration for Elodie, who had moved from the countryside to Tokyo and had no friends of her age.
The tea was light and sweet flower tea, and the accompanying snacks were also sweet meringue cookies and eclairs.
Even though they each sat in their own new dresses for the social season, no one stood out as beautiful as Elodie.
There were people who were jealous of that fact, but there were also people who genuinely admired it.
The Count Betty was an example.
As soon as Elodie finished speaking, she blinked her round brown eyes like a squirrel and looked at Elodie worriedly.
“Oh my gosh, what did you dream about? But even though I haven’t slept, my face is so pretty!”
The pure admiration was rather cute. Elodie smiled modestly.
“thank you.”
“What kind of bad dream did it make you look so bad?”
The young Viscount Allison, who had a gentle face, asked with worried eyes.
Elodie pondered a little and opened her mouth.
“…… I had a terrifying dream. I was killed by some monster… … .”
As soon as the noble girls gathered in the seat heard the words, they added words one by one.
“Oh my God.”
“It’s so terrifying!”
“However, a dream is a dream and can never become a reality.”
“that’s right. Is there anyone else who could harm an Elodi girl so sweet and kind?”
Elodie paused for a moment, but in the next moment nodded her head.
As others usually say, the green eyes that were only docile and friendly gave off a very strange look for a moment and then disappeared.
“Yes. They are all good people.”
“Besides, there is ‘he’ in the Marquis of Windrose, right?”
Young-ae, a baron cyclamen, raised the topic while twisting the ends of her brown hair mixed with red with her fingertips as if in a braid.
“Sir Laertes?”
“okay. He is guarding it, who dares to be a threat to the Marquis?”
“that’s right! Even if you brag, you will be disgraced.”
As the topic everyone was interested in appeared, the voices of the girls who were trying to look dignified gradually brightened like a lark.
Elodie smiled faintly between them, but her eyes were dark as if passing through.
“Hey, unbelievers or something. After all, there is no knight who can defeat the ungodly, sweeping away all the bandits, and defeating him.”
“that’s right. I heard that he is the best knight in the kingdom.”
“I don’t know why you don’t go to the martial arts party. If I could receive the winner’s wreath as a gift from him, I’d be better off dying right now.”
As if imagining the situation, each of them blushed and gave a weak exclamation.
The only prince in the royal family is only 8 years old this year.
The king’s younger brother, Archduke Franz, is a married man over forty years old.
One of the most admired bridesmaids in the current social circle was Laertes Hope.
Deputy commander of the Knights of Glamis. He was known as a genius from a young age, and a hero who made many achievements.
He has a serious personality and has no omissions in his appearance. If it’s not popular, it’s a strange condition.
There is also no affair with a woman of the same age. Only the anecdote with Yeong-ae, Marquis of Windrose, who passed away, wanders around like a sad romance novel.
Rather, it was a plus factor up to that point. A person who has always been silently waiting behind the sickly prospective fiancee who will not be able to reach the age of majority alive.
Count Betty Young-ae spoke softly about the atmosphere.
“Of course, if you participate in the martial arts event this year, it seems that the young girl who will receive the wreath is decided.”
