The Antagonist: The World Ends Theory
Chapter 98 - The Neutral Party

"Miss..."

Because Clara had almost fallen, Jean took her to a tree. The emperor had already descended from the chariot, looking upon Clara's miserable condition.

"Jean. Go back to Agapanthus. Take George with you to Hortensia. It's up to Edmond where he's going, this conflict has nothing to do with Hortensia." Emperor's Decree.

Jean was a little surprised by the Emperor's decision, but he could only obey. Jean is a bit of an illustration of what the Emperor would do when he met George in this situation.

Jean took one of the horses used to pull the carriage. And drove away leaving both. Clara who had been limp could not comment anything.

"Your Majesty, servant-"

"I know there's something you want to tell me. And this is the right time for you. But is it really your last decision? Think first mature if you want to do it."

Clara's sentence was hung just like that because the Emperor had already cut her. Clara was quite surprised to find out the Emperor was aware of her. Clara had indeed intended to convey her decision to the Emperor, what she chose for her future.

"Hamba has thought about it carefully, it has been a long time. And this is the result." Lirih Clara, her body was still limp to move.

"What's your choice, Clara?"

"Hamba will continue Lyserith's duties. Because of the word 'that man', I promised to do it even if I had to reincarnate any number of times."

The Emperor frowned, "That guy?"

Clara nodded weakly. "People who currently inhabit the dream world that His Majesty has created."

The Emperor immediately threw his gaze to the other side. He knew very well who Clara was talking about. This girl seems to be delirious to the point of daring to bring a sensitive topic, Lavoisier.

Both of the Emperor's ruby eyes were briefly shiny after hearing the world of his dreams. Clara has been there before. That guy is brave. The Emperor himself had never been there. But he had no intention of destroying the dream world until now.

"So, what do you want to do first? Having decided to become a wanderer of the same task as him."

"Hamba went to Agapanthus and picked up Duke Wayne and Crown Prince Ranunculus. Because it seems they are needed by Ranunculus at this time. There's no way the Cheltics, he himself can't go back."

"But with the current situation, the Cheltics's roar will force it back. The problem is that the defenses around the Ranunculus shut down access roads in and out."

"Your Majesty, can you take the servant back to Agapanthus?"

"No problem."

The emperor approached the other horse and removed the rope that bound him with the carriage. The Emperor also raised Clara on horseback and sat in front of her. If he who is still limp is placed behind, it is certain to fall from the horse.

"Know that, I'll ask you to come with Jean."

The Emperor grumbled, a moment ago the Emperor sent Jean to pick George up and place him in the neutral territory for a while, the Hortensia. If Clara wants to go there too, what can she do. The emperor had to work twice.

Due to his still limp body, the Emperor placed Clara in front of him. Like when they were going to Freesia the other day. This time Clara's situation was so sad, and she instead took a big decision in her life.

"Why is this sudden?"

Clara who originally intended to close her eyes and sleep during the trip. But the Emperor did not want to be just a driver. Clara blinked her eyes a few times and stared at the black smoke still billowing across the sky Agapanthus.

"Actually the servant already got an answer when in Agapanthus. Because the servant and the Cheltics had a condition that was not much different. When the Cheltics make a big decision in his life. I think about Lyserith Scoleths."

The Emperor placed his chin on the top of Clara's head. Feeling a little unwilling with Clara's decision which he thought was hasty. The Emperor recalled his conversation with Edmond a few days ago.

At that time the Emperor was upset that Edmond kept urging him. The Emperor also did not lie when he answered why he had not moved forward at all. Not that he didn't want to, just that he couldn't. Circumstances forced him to choose this path, the path he did not want.

He just wants to finish something and leave.

"Can Your Majesty help you?"

Clara's hoarse voice rang out again, she did not cry just that her throat felt dry. His eyes remained fixed on the territory of Agapanthus under attack. If Agapanthus alone is this severe, especially Ranunculus who became the main enemy of Freesia. No, King Willem's own enemy is Frederick Wayne.

Duke Wayne will surely be overwhelmed by King Willem's ambition to kill his father, although upset but Duke Wayne did not take that much and threw his father into the lion's den. Ah, even though they are brothers-in-law.

Even so, Mr Hendrick will definitely protect him anyway, right? I don't want to lose anyone else, enough Avrim. Entering the world of this novel is not lucky even lucky! Well. I'm an antagonist anyway...

Clara frowned. What kind of strange answer is that? Hortensia was the most powerful of any region in the Herbras land. Once they intervened, the enemy would be slaughtered and the war would be finished sooner. From which side could the Emperor answer like that? Maybe the viewpoints of the two are different.

"Then why not send an army to stop him?"

The emperor snorted, astonished at the contents of Clara's head which always reached out to the most impossible idea to realize. After all, this war does not only involve two regions. But one Herbras. It's just that Hortensia chose not to interfere.

At least, until a situation that did require them to intervene.

But due to laziness, the Emperor only let Clara put out absurd ideas that could not be made into reality. Let this girl fantasize more, after that face the reality.

The horse that Clara and the Emperor were riding on continued to accelerate through the open wind. No inhabitants live in neutral territory, for they will be abandoned if not for the kingdom or empire.

It took quite a long time to walk, and finally Clara could see the main gate entering Agapanthus. The soldiers who were guarding were somewhat surprised upon seeing Emperor Hortensia return again to Agapanthus. They hurriedly opened the gate. Clara who saw it whistled in awe, the power of Emperor Hortensia did not play.

I feel great because I have never bowed my head before His Majesty. If it were like this, would my head be hung on the border gate of Hortensia?

Clara immediately cast out such thoughts. He became confused himself, where was he who had almost fainted from seeing the attack directed at Agapanthus?

Approaching the gates of the palace of Agapanthus, Clara and the Emperor could see a man with his hazel mane holding a horse restraint walking hand in hand with a girl whose facial lines were similar to his. Then behind them was another young man with a golden mane and eyes as blue as an ocean.

The three of them were so well known to Clara. Behind the three of them are also 15-year-old teenagers and girls who have a call Miss Love from the crocodile Vinca.

But there Clara did not find the whereabouts of George and Edmond. Maybe George was picked up by Jean and went to Hortensia by the back lane. Then Edmond who suddenly also came home and will split at the intersection, maybe so because Clara did not see them both.

Not only Edmond and George, Clara also did not see the existence of the Cheltics. It seems that after the attack in the southern forest of Agapanthus, the Geese immediately headed there to check the situation further. Because the angel himself has not been able to return to Ranunculus. So he chose to help his uncle here.

"Mr Hendrick!"

Spontaneous Clara called out the name of Duke Wayne who was about to board his horse. Of course, right now the attention is on Clara. Hellen, Rovers, and James are shocked when Clara returns with the Emperor on horseback.

Clara is very brave.

It was just this that was on the minds of the four people standing at the gate of the palace. This was the first time they had seen an Emperor who dared to accept a request from a little girl. Maybe they should keep the mood off Clara. Because a little wrong can - can complain to the Emperor.

Clara was helped down by the Emperor, again - again people there just gaped. How influential is Clara to Hortensia? No one knows.

"Allen." Calling Clara in a soft voice, she immediately approached Hellen and her brother followed the Emperor behind her.

Rovers paid his respects to the Emperor. He still had the consciousness to survive. Different from Clara whose survival instinct is gone.

Seeing the arrival of Clara, Hellen who had stopped crying even again - again could not resist the tears that seeped. She hugged Clara and cried while hiding her face between the curves of Clara's neck.

"Rara.. hiks..."

Clara rubbed Hellen's trembling back. "Everything must be fine. Allen should be able to hold on to everyone."

As the female protagonist, you should be able to do it. Even in the epilogue, I kill you.

From behind Hellen's embrace. Clara looked at the four men who were also looking back at her. Three of them are male protagonists. While the other is just a figure, even almost like a cameo because of its appearance is very rare.

The pre-war circumstances in the novel are very different from those before Clara now. He should still be in a golden cage and then come out as the antagonist stunningly. Killing one after another the male protagonists except Rovers and the Emperor.

Clara is quite confused. But within seconds of the explosion and fire incident, Clara's life goals were now clearly visible.

My ikigai is getting more visible. I've decided.

By choosing the same path as Lyserith. Either he gets a happy ending or a bad ending. At least Clara already had her life purpose, what she wanted to do.

I'll keep the promise Lyserith made.
