The Antagonist: The World Ends Theory
Chapter 29 - The Barrage of Problems

CLANG

The sound of knives and forks clanking filled the dining table. With a sour face Hendrick swallowed his breakfast. This time he slowed down because Duke Wayne was still giving him extra work. He doesn't want to be quick to do it.

While beside him were Rovers, he ate in silence. In front of him was Hellen who also still did not say a word.

Duchess Wayne can't do anything about the situation. Besides because there is a potential ruler who makes them maintain an attitude. Hellen is not in a good situation considering that two days ago there was a dispute between him and Clara.

Meanwhile, Duke Wayne has not returned. According to Hendrick, one parent must be exploring and having fun on top of his son's suffering.

In Clara's own room, Clara had breakfast with Avrim. Usually Avrim only pays attention to Clara's breakfast, but it seems that today Avrim is forced to have breakfast with Clara.

"Miss, how did you get around last night when the Crown Prince was staying?" Avrim asked, he was biting on his favorite broccoli vegetable.

"I met him, Avrim. He's not as thick as I thought. Maybe if I could say, at least our relationship wasn't as bad as it was."

Smile a knot on Avrim's face.

"That's great, Miss. And about Duke's request..."

"uh? Hmm. I'll start doing my job when Mr. Hendrick is Duke."

"so. Good though. Miss still has plenty of time off. Just count the months for that day to come."

"Yeah.it seems I'm going to turn my sleeping hours into daylight. Ah, good thing this place isn't touched by the sun."

Clara put the fruit back in her mouth.

"Asam...!" Clara stuck out her tongue and then drank water in a hurry. "Ohuk!" Clara is choking.

"Miss!"

Avrim moved quickly hitting his nona back. Until Clara's cough was not heard anymore she stopped doing it.

"Good lady - all right? Though I have often said that drinking is slow."

"But it tastes sour..."

"Indeed so it feels. What did Miss expect?"

"I thought it was an apple."

"Ahaha...just because it's red? The size is very different, Miss. Apples are also sour."

"At least not as acidic as strawberries."

"Huft.Miss tongue is very picky apparently."

"That's because I prefer sweet food, Avrim. I don't want to taste my life sour like strawberries."

Avrim shook her head slowly, "Miss is right..."

Clara and Avrim resume their breakfast. Avrim has now become closer to Clara, but if remembered - remember again. In the past even Avrim could not speak to this young lady.

"It feels like a dream, but this has been happening for a long time. I don't think it's possible to say that this is just a dream."

"You're too weird Avrim. It's not a dream. Know it? I will always accept you no matter what you are."

"Thank you, Miss. I'm glad to be familiar with Miss."

Clara could only smile broadly to respond to Avrim. He also did not expect, at least there was someone who accompanied him in the world of this novel.

Ah, about that dream, who exactly is that man? I don't even know the source of the voice that begged me that 'master' yet. What is going on in this novel world?

After finishing breakfast, Clara prepared to paint while Avrim tidied up the table they were using for breakfast.

"Well, I can finally paint you again, canvas. I really haven't smelled the distinctive aroma of paint in a long time."

"Let's think deeper. Although Clara Scoleths loves blue roses, it never hurts to make a different one than usual."

Clara scratched her paintbrush nimbly on the canvas. He just wanted to paint, Clara did not really set what she would paint. So Clara will know what she's painting when it's done. He was just painting what was in his mind right now.

About two hours sitting in a chair, while continuously mixing colors. Sweat had soaked his pale face, he smiled cheerfully when the painting was finished.

"Ready!"

Clara proudly held up the painting. When he saw her, Clara's pale face paled even more.

BRACKET

Quickly he threw his painting in any direction with fear. Then he looked at his two hands that were beginning to tremble. Clara was instead frightened for no apparent reason at this moment.

"liying right? Why do my hands even paint ranunculus flowers? It's better if I just painted a blue rose."

CRICK

The door opened, and it turned out to be Avrim. Soon Clara hid her trembling hands behind her dress.

"What's Avrim?" While trying to calm down, Clara asked Avrim.

"Miss, Miss Hellen and Young Duke are coming. Duke Wayne and Duchess Wayne are also here." Avrim said in a whisper.

Heh? Am I wrong - wrong? I'm sure when I'm outside there's no riot because of me.

Clara, wearing her robe and veil, followed Avrim out of the room. Hellen, Hendrick, Duke, and Duchess Wayne. But Clara did not see the existence of Rovers in the slightest.

Looks like he's back. Good...but why is the Wayne family so crowded - crowded into my room? Want a march?

"Mm...what's looking for me?" Using the formal language Clara asked.

Hellen advanced first, approaching Clara's face with an angry expression. Duke Wayne could only watch and let Hellen continue his sentence.

"Hey..."

"Hm? What's the matter Miss Hellen?"

"Is it true that you killed the late King before? Grandpa of my fiancee."

Heh?

With a puzzled expression, he glanced towards the direction Duke Wayne was located. Despite wearing a veil, Duke Wayne knows that Clara is currently confused.

Then it was not long before Duke Wayne shook his head faintly.

Eh? Is it true that it has reached this stage? Should I reveal everything? Can Duke Wayne solve this problem?

"Huft. Why are you asking now?"

TB

Oh yes, for those of you who do not know ranunculus flower, actually it is a buttercup flower.
