The bad ending of an Otome game MTL - Chapter (61)
Episode 61
* * *
For Elodie, today was an eventful day beyond words.
The attitude of others was mostly favorable.
Young girls of the same age, who had become acquainted in advance, came to him without hesitation, praising Elodie’s beauty, and flirting with Laertis, saying that it was a good match.
The other ladies also used to add that it seems that the Marquis of Windrose and Elodie are together, so it seems like they have a real mother and daughter.
Elodie noticed without realizing it, but when the Marquis heard such a thing and went on casually, she finally calmed down.
Elodie had a lot of trouble because several spirits were constantly talking to him.
As it was the first day of their debut, receiving many dance requests was a measure of their popularity.
However, there were also writers who approached Elodie, who was next to the strict Cavalier, too lowly, beyond the polite dance request.
I don’t know if the number is one or two, but it was very difficult because the majority of them were mixed with other people and approached me secretly.
Leaving her seat to dance with Laertes as if avoiding her seat, she came back to see an unexpected sight.
The scene where Edmund Gloucester seemed to be slapped on the cheek of a young girl who was nearby in rage.
Young Ae’s black hair was messed up. Even next to him was a man who seemed to be the young girl’s partner.
As the situation seemed to get worse, there was a buzz around.
Unlike the people who approached Elodie outright, there weren’t many people near Edmund.
I don’t know why, but everyone was watching the situation from a few steps away.
In any case, Edmund was the one who stood by Elodie today and volunteered to be an escort knight. That he slaps other people in the face for whatever reason!
Elodie shouted in shock.
“Sir Edmund Gloucester!”
He grabbed the hem of his long skirt with both hands and half-run. As soon as I heard Elodie’s voice, I saw the blue-haired man shrugging his shoulders.
Do you not know what you’ve been doing yourself?
Biting her lip, she was suddenly startled as she approached the scene of the incident. The young lady holding her cheek was a very familiar face.
An indifferent look on his face as if he had no interest in those around him. Eyes and hair black as ink.
The dark hair hanging over the hem of the dress, which was inflated with several layers of delicate fabric, looked like a decoration in itself.
Even though they were clearly slapped on the cheek, those eyes that seemed to have cooled down rather than panicked or withdrew.
Elodie didn’t know what to do as soon as she confirmed that the young girl was the person she had met in the dressing room.
What if your job was a fuse at that time?
Thousands of thoughts were running through my head.
“…… What the hell is this?”
It was a voice filled with all kinds of emotions, to the extent that Elodie hardened her waist without realizing it.
It was Laertes Hope, standing right next to him.
He had always escorted her with a flawless, flawless attitude.
It was like that today. Everyone said that it was a perfect Cavalier, as if it was painted on a painting. The dance, the lead, and the escort were perfect.
Instead of praising her with words, he was more respectful than anyone else. It was not easily shaken.
A gust of wind blew from his purple eyes.
It was right after I saw Emilia, who covered her red and swollen cheek with her hand.
Emilia, who saw Elodie and Laertes, raised a slightly embarrassed voice.
“There was a small quarrel between me and Sir Edmund Gloucester.”
Edmund Gloucester, who was slapped on the cheek, was frozen in a panicked attitude.
The handsome blonde aristocrat, who seemed to be Emilia’s partner, said absurdly.
“Lady Emilia, this is not the time to deal with that…….”
“I want to go to the break room and rest, Sir Brahmanduff. I don’t want to get other people’s attention any more.”
It was a firm voice. The man called Brahmanduff replied as if nothing had happened.
“…… all right.”
Elodie took a deep breath.
“Now, what does that mean? Sir Edmund Gloucester, this is… … !”
“…….”
The blue-eyed man simply avoided Elodie’s gaze. It was an attitude of nothing to say.
Elodie was amazing. Edmund was honest with Elodie when it was good, and when he said it badly, when only Elodie was involved, his way of thinking was simplified.
Elodie knew her plight better than anyone, so she did not dare to coldly reject the heir of the Gloucester family.
But even in these circumstances, he couldn’t take the side of Edmund Gloucester.
I remember Edmund seeing Emilia in the dressing room at that time and being strangely angry.
After Emilia said a few words with a cold face, she couldn’t even respond, and she froze as it was.
Thinking about that time, I wondered if something would happen again this time. Even though Edmund had been silent in the first place.
Just then, a voice was heard.
“Emilia.”
It was a complex voice, like a mixture of fifty thousand emotions.
Elodie handed Emilia the handkerchief and saw Laertes’ complicated eyes again, a little startled.
I was strangely nervous.
Emilia, with her black hair half raised and half loose, was not particularly flashy, but she had something to catch people’s attention strangely.
The lavender peonies and pink roses that adorned the hair were fresh flowers imported from abroad.
Her hair, half braided, was skillfully balanced with strings and ribbons woven with crystals, flowers and lace.
The moonstone shining white between the dark hairs was not as expensive as diamonds, but it was unique as it was cut by a craftsman in a different shape one by one.
The calm eyes that didn’t look like someone slapped on the cheek were still still. Even though he was in a noisy ballroom, he seemed to be living in a different world by himself.
It was a bizarre feeling. Emilia looked at the handkerchief as if thinking a little bit, then turned her head a little and looked away.
Elodie felt like my heart was sinking.
I felt strangely sad. why? why? Don’t you ignore yourself so thoroughly?
then in the wagon. in the dressing room. and now here. Three times Emilia turned away from Elodie.
Is it because of someone else’s point of view? No, he didn’t seem to care about that. Then why?
“Emilia.”
Laertes called Emilia again.
It was a voice that was even earnest enough to surprise anyone who knew Laertes.
The confusion on his indifferent face, which was always unmoved, was clear as if he could catch it.
Was it instinctive? Laertes involuntarily reached out into the air as if trying to catch Emilia, who was avoiding her gaze.
It was then.
“You can’t be a nuisance to someone else’s Cavalier.”
It was a voice as clear as cutting something with a knife.
Laertes’ eyes widened as if in shock for a moment.
Casio Brahmanduff took Emilia’s side as if to show off.
At first glance, he had a nice smile on his face, but his eyes that were secretly looking at Laertes were cold as if he was checking in.
Whether she knew the situation or not, Emilia declared in a clear voice.
“I would like to postpone the resolution of the situation and the apology to the next opportunity. I am tired now.”
“I will not forget today, Sir Edmund Gloucester.”
Casio Brahmanduff’s voice was significant in many ways.
Laertes, who shows unusual agitation and confusion.
Even Edmund Gloucester, who had his mouth shut as if he had nothing to say, even with ten mouths.
Elodie swept her dazzlingly bright blonde hair to reveal her forehead, and was captured by the intuition that Casio Brahmanduff, who smiled kindly with bright gray eyes, was not a very good person.
Yes, that smile… … what is it It was like a hunter checking traps.
Edmund Gloucester often made mistakes due to his all-in-one nature of being obsessed with something, but at least he was proud of himself when he did something. It was the same with courting Elodie.
He was a man who ignored other people’s gossip as if to salute, or rather boasted about it.
However, if only Emilia was involved, it was too frenzied.
Like a child who buryes guilt deep in his heart and wants to forget his existence.
I won’t be quick to criticize what’s going on or anything, so if there’s anything that bothers you, please tell me.
After the day he met Emilia in the dressing room and Edmund collided, Elodie yelled at Edmund several times, but he only shook his head.
It was. Laertes Hope and Edmund Gloucester. And Casio Brahmanduff, who leaves with only a meaningful smile.
Yang Goo, who has an indifferent and calm face and says that nothing has anything to do with him, becomes strange when only Emilia gets entangled.
Besides, it was weird that Yang Gu couldn’t admit that fact to himself.
Edmund Gloucester, fidgeting like a dog in need of something after work, did not admit that it was because of ‘Emilia’, even if he died soon.
He even shouted out loud as if he was unjust, asking if he had doubts about his feelings for Elodie.
Laertes Hope, something like that.
Although Elodie stayed for a long time in The Marquis of Windrose, he never brought up Emilia with empty words.
Such was the situation today.
Unusually agitated, he held out his hand proudly and could not hold it.
And the blonde man who became Emilia’s partner… … .
“…… Sir Edmund Gloucester.”
Elodie sang like a sigh. Edmund shook his head.
