The bad ending of an Otome game MTL - Chapter (67)
Episode 67
In particular, this was the case with Knight Commander Jim Morson.
Investigating a criminal case in the capital city. In fact, even if the Knights of Glamis were not in charge of the capital, they were also knights with investigative powers, so they could start on their own.
But, yes.
His ‘jurisdiction’ belongs to us, so you, the rolling stones, stay stuck and practice.
If it comes out like this, it will be impossible to use it after investigating it at best.
Of course, even if the Knights of Glamis do not know whether serial murders or disappearances occur in the capital, there is nothing to lose.
Unless you have received a formal request for help, there is no need to deal with it.
Of course, Laertes wanted to be the first to report any incident or any information, saying that no matter who made the achievement or who would be praised by His Majesty the King, at least one victim should be reduced at that time.
So Alston had come to me from dawn on this day.
“Well, yes. Anyway, I would like to know where in the world there is a knight as perfect as the Vice-Captain.”
“It doesn’t sound like a joke when you say that.”
“No kidding.”
Alston fell in love with a man who remained unchanging even in the cold air of dawn.
Laertes Hope. An article that said that he had excellent sword qualities from a very young age. Instead of the commander of the knights who are sick, the vice-leader who almost oversees the Knights of Glamis.
A perfect and polite article that looks like something out of a fairy tale book. Protecting the weak and not backing down from the enemy… … .
Even though he had a tired face, his eyes were as clear as amethyst, and his clear features seemed to shine.
Black hair that covers her straight forehead, thick lined eyebrows, and a hard expression that hardly ever shakes.
Despite the fact that the ladies were almost out of breath due to corporal disease, the manner of drawing a line while being polite was very famous.
Of course, is it only for ladies? It wasn’t. Laertes Hope was courteous to all.
He did not show off his strength and was always polite. In other words, no one put me in my inner line and made me feel comfortable.
He said that he was always extremely polite to the Marquis, who had raised him like his own son.
However, Alston was almost half-hearted with Laertes, who joined the Knights Templar at a young age.
No, Alston was a little older. However, Alston was more suited to administrative processing and business assistants than by force.
And he recognized the talent of young Laertes.
So, even when Laertes became the deputy general manager, he became his lieutenant without much thought.
I also watched the legendary saga of Laertes, which others said was like a novel, from the sidelines in real time.
Thanks to that, he and Laertes Hope were able to exchange some jokes.
Despite Alston’s words, Laertes smiled a strangely bittersweet smile.
“…… I am not perfect.”
“If the Underworld Lord Laertes wasn’t perfect, I don’t know what the hell would be left of this world.”
Laertes shook her head lightly in response to an answer.
The remorse and anguish on his face surprised Alston a little without realizing it.
“…… Did you have any problems at the prom yesterday?”
“You’ve been investigating the disappearance case on the street in half a day, and you’re asking me because you don’t know about the royal ball?”
“A joke makes me tremble.”
“…… The royal palace is a complicated place everywhere.”
At Laertes’ attitude, which faltered in answer, Alston raised his doubts again.
Laertes had few words and was the type to put his thoughts into each of his words.
In other words, the words and actions were heavy. Seeing that he couldn’t deny the fact that there was a prom yesterday even with empty words, it was obvious that something had happened, and he seemed to have a dark look on his face.
But is there any problem?
Laertes’ partner must have been the main character of the rumor that she was so pretty.
The rumors about her were so great these days that even Alston, who was not very interested in the social world, was curious about the news.
It was something I could easily guess from my point of view that the Marquis should have called Laertes rather than partnered with Ammon, that the Marquis would care for and cherish her like my own daughter.
The protector of the Marquis Windrose. Besides, ‘that’ Laertes’ partner.
If someone quarreled with Elodie and slapped him on the cheek, it would literally be a war, not a war.
“…… Alston.”
“Yes.”
Laertes showed signs of anguish.
He opened his lips as if choosing a word over and over again and then closed it again.
“…… What is a good gift for someone you haven’t seen in a long time?”
“Yes?”
Alston widened his eyes. There was absolutely nothing that Laertis Hope would ask.
Laertes Hope was biting the tip of his lip, not befitting that serious face.
“for a long time…… There was someone I was looking for, and I happened to meet again… … .”
As if to make an excuse, the man continued to speak without a word.
Alston struggled to keep his mouth open without realizing it.
“Hey, deputy chief. Is that person a man or a woman?”
Of course, it must be a woman. It was obvious just by looking at the anguish and resignation that flashed across her beautiful face like a sculpture.
“It’s a woman.”
Are you saying that there was something wrong with that incredibly beautiful young girl?
Alston’s head was spinning.
The young girl who is staying as a marquise. Was her name Elodie? There were a lot of people who acted as if the rumors between the two were a known fact, as there were some things that the Marquis wife was cheap, the protection of the marquis was, and Laertes did Cavaliers.
is not it?
Is the main character of ‘There was a person I had been looking for for a long time and met again by chance’ really that Elodie?
Although he resembles Ophelia like twins, he said that he was buried while living alone with his grandmother in the countryside.
Then, Sir Laertes, who had been traveling around the country for various things since childhood, happened to see the young girl.
So, after reuniting, I was in awe… … .
If he had known Alston’s true intentions, it would have been a thought that Laertes would have frowned and said, ‘It’s not like that’ and denied it.
Anyway, Laertes did not have the ability to read people’s inner feelings. Alston came up with the easiest answer.
“Actually, wouldn’t it be best to ask the Marquis for such a gift?”
“…….”
Laertes shut her mouth like a clamshell.
Alston thought. Do you want to keep it a secret?
After all, the Marquis is a weak-hearted woman, so she’s not the type to keep secrets.
“…… Well, flowers in general… … Little accessories… … .”
Alston thought hard.
Alston, the second child of a simple baron family, found a way to live and joined the Knights Templar early on, and he had experience giving gifts to people who needed to build friendships in order to have a good eye and polish their fine hair.
A gift is good if you have a lot of money, but it was more ambiguous because you knew that the situation and sense had to be the basis.
In fact, Alston would rather say that any of the unmarried ladies living in this country would be stunned and faint if Lord Laertes handed him a plain handkerchief.
But first of all, that’s probably not what my boss wants.
“A pen or a pretty color ink…… Wouldn’t it be nice to have something trendy? Like a popular opera ticket.”
“opera…….”
Laertes listened to Alston with a look of complete concern.
That dazed expression on his face was strange in many ways. Laertes has been an old man since childhood.
He seldom panicked or showed emotion.
Even when a horse stung by a bee in the forest went mad and broke a leg bone in an accident.
Instead of screaming or looking for someone else, I calmly put a splint on my foot.
A man who politely and resolutely refused the ladies who charged him with all his body and heart.
A person who said that the letters delivered one by one were burned under the principle of ‘I do not send and receive letters for personal communication at the Knights Templar headquarters because it interferes with the Templar’s business’.
…… Have you never given a girl a proper gift?
no way?
Alston doubted himself.
Come to think of it, I’ve never seen Sir Laertes in love, but… … . I just thought you were going to have that attitude towards everyone in the first place?
“How many times have you not given the Marquis a gift?”
Of course, most of the items are health food, and sometimes accessories.
It was the level of rare local specialties. I knew it well because Alston recommended it to me.
Yes, they were things that could be said to be ‘filial piety’ in a nutshell.
The most romantic thing that could be argued was the lavender candle, which was wrapped in dried iris like perfume.
I bought it on the recommendation that it would be good for the Marquis’s insomnia and neurosis.
“It’s not like that.”
Yes, it didn’t seem like a filial piety when I saw that he just cut and denied it. If that’s the case, then she wouldn’t be a lady of the same age as the Marquis’ wife… … .
Alston glanced at Laertes.
“Isn’t it best to give a present to the other person in the first place? There are some hobbies that ordinary ladies like, right?”
Then Laertes’ face grew more serious.
“…….”
“…… Do you not know your hobbies at all?”
