The Antagonist: The World Ends Theory
Chapter 24 - Clash
Silent.
One word was enough to describe what was happening right now inside Hellen's room. Clara tried to maintain her smile in front of Hellen.
SRETT
PLAQUES
Hellen pulled the collar off Clara's robe then slapped her cheek as tightly as he could. So that the cover of his head was open and showed Clara's face completely.
After Clara fell to the floor of the room. It is clear that when Hellen is holding back the anger in him, Clara realizes that Hellen's breathing is very irregular.
Different from before which means happy. Right now Hellen was venting all his anger on Clara.
"After three years you've dumped me! So easily now you say start over!" Hellen pointed resentfully at Clara.
Clara kept quiet while looking inside - in this FL novel. He let Hellen let out all his complaints until he calmed down by himself.
So Clara Scoleths dumped Hellen, which is why Hellen now seems to hate me.
"Did you know? For these three years I have always suffered because of you!!!"
"You're a bitch, CLARA SCOLETHS!!!"
...****...
"Is that strange woman with you, Hendrick?" Duke Wayne came to his son's study.
Hendrick snorted bitterly, he was still grudging by what happened yesterday. If there was no Clara helping him, he would have been stuck all night with those documents.
"That boy is not here today. Just look in her room."
"uh? But I've been looking for him there and he's not there."
Suddenly Hendrick's body stiffened, he looked at Duke Wayne in disbelief. "Eh?"
...****...
In Hellen's room. Hellen's been crying out to be so. After slapping Clara just now, she hasn't done anything to her childhood friend.
Maybe their bond was so strong that Hellen could never hit Clara again. But Clara herself had resigned to the circumstances and allowed herself to be beaten.
"You really have no heart. You can always attract the sympathy of those around you, you sly Clara Scoleths!"
Hellen was crying like a child, Clara of course felt panicked by that.
When Clara wants to calm Hellen down. A middle-aged woman came up to them in hasty steps.
The Duchess heard a scream - a shout that reached her room. And he knew right away that the scream was coming from Hellen.
"Hellen, son. What the hell happened to you?" The duchess hugged Hellen tightly.
But this is a little weird. Because Clara had a slap on her cheek and she was sitting on the floor so relaxed. While Hellen was healthy - healthy without any abrasions even cried loudly.
Who really should cry here?
"Umm, Duke Wayne." Chirp Clara. She was afraid of being misunderstood for hurting her child later.
Duke Wayne ignores Clara and chooses to calm Hellen down with his wife. Hendrick approached Clara.
"What did you do to my sister?"
Clara involuntarily held a slap mark on her cheek. "Miss Hellen slapped aaya then cried loudly like this. Haha..." Then Clara laughed crisply.
"I know what you're trying to do."
Then Clara's crisp laughter stopped there.
"As a woman you should know that a woman's heart is fragile. In this way, of course, no one will accept." Hendrick patted his forehead slowly.
Clara stopped holding her cheek. "I'm just apologizing in my own way. It seems so wrong."
"What are you idiots? Hanga's a fool who forgives people like you, especially the way you're so annoying."
Hey, that's so rude.
"Why is Mr Hendrick here?" Ask Clara.
It feels a bit de javu.
"My dad was looking for you but he didn't say anything about why. I told Dad you might be in the library. But before we got there, we heard Hellen yelling."
"Oh..." Clara nodded in understanding.
"We'll take care of this later, Hellen. Clara Scoleths."
"Yes." Yeah."
Clara was exchanging words with Hendrick. Duke Wayne interrupted their conversation after Hellen had already stopped crying.
"The king asked you to come with me to the palace."
Clara froze to hear it.
Heh? I'm sure I didn't make any trouble on the royal side. For the time being...?
