The Antagonist: The World Ends Theory
Chapter 40 - Western Region

BRACKET

Ouch...!

SRING

Eitsa...

When Clara wants to open the horse carriage door. His neck was almost slashed by a sword with sharp eyes.

Clara opened her closed eyes and saw a black-robed man staring at her sharply. Then he put his sword into the sheath.

SRETT

"Ugh...!"

When Clara's feet wanted out of the chariot. He got stuck and ended up falling to the ground with his elites. However, it is clear that the man is reluctant to help Clara. He preferred to wait for Clara to get up on her own.

Tch! This man was definitely not from the ranks of romantic men. If only he had helped me, the scene of the slashing just now wouldn't have counted as an attempted murder!

My poor left hand is getting worse... On the way here, it started to improve.

But Clara only dared to curse in her mind. Because, the man before him is not just an abal-abal knight whose hobby just slashes others.

He was the Emperor of the Western region.

Meiger Westhley's.

If Clara had known from the beginning, she wouldn't have fled to Hortensia. But Avrim traps him and tells him who is waiting for him when Clara has already infiltrated the train.

"Miss will meet with Emperor Hortensia when it reaches the West. So, please take care of Miss's attitude, if the Emperor knows Miss has this behavior. It will definitely..."

Clara's body goosebumps instantly after she recalls Avrim's last sentence last night.

Clara looked up her head at the sky of the Western region.

Looks like dawn is starting to break.

Just a little, Clara glanced at Meiger's side face with fear - fear.

The parasite is like the ruler of darkness.

Ruby's eyes are the most special of all. There were only two people in the Herbras continent who possessed this uniqueness.

First up is Meiger Westhley.

And secondly there's Grein de'Lavoisier.

Clara does not know where Grein is because it is not explicitly told in her novel. It was as if Grein's character was not important at all according to the author.

Grein has an amazing ability to suggest. The reason is that ruby eyes, those eyes will light up if the owner is doing a suggestion to the interlocutor.

Clara can figure it out of course because Grein and his ruby eyes once acted that way in the only scene she came out in the novel. With just a few sentences he could already master the consciousness of his interlocutor.

Once again Clara stole a look at Meiger's ruby eyes.

He should have that ability too, right?

"One more time you look at me, I've made sure your eyeballs are poked out of place."

As he glanced at Meiger, Meiger's cold voice stopped his activities. Then Clara immediately turned her gaze in the other direction.

Hee's? I feel the sensation of de javu here.

"Name."

"uh? Name of Clara Scoleths' servant Your Majesty."

Meiger's face blackened. "Scoleths?"

"Yes.yes, the name of the servant is Clara Scoleths. His Majesty can call a servant by any name."

Seeing Meiger's response, Clara became afraid of being wrong. He became trembling when he mentioned his name which was somehow his fault.

"E.uh? It cannot be Your Majesty. Servants are born with this name, so..."

Waduh, if I take a wrong step here, it's me. I just got to Hortensia. Huhoo... Avrim, if I die here, the first person I ever killed was you.

"You can get better than that name."

Clara nodded quickly. "That can't be Your Majesty. Only this name can be remembered, that's why..."

"Ck. Your brain capacity is too small."

Oye! Is this Hendrick's twin or what? It's like the way he talks! Well. although Hendrick won narrowly from Meiger when it comes to expression.

"Because your last name sucks. I better call you Clara."

DEG

Clara gasped when she heard Meiger say her first name. Even Hendrick will call Clara the 'middle of nowhere' or 'Clara Scoleths' who are the closest to normal.

Only Duke Wayne and Hellen have called him that so far. Rovers called Clara 'Miss Scoleths'.

Hearing a great emperor call out his first name like that made Clara freeze silently. In this age, being called his first name by a man is enough to prove that they have a special relationship.

But for Clara who just met Meiger a few minutes ago it is impossible to immediately have such a relationship. Clara could do what. This man is an emperor.

"Hamba understands."

"Because Avrim hasn't been able to come to Hortensia. As long as you're here, Jean will take care of all your needs." Say Meiger again.

"Jean? Sounds like a man's name to a servant." Clara fondles - nimang chin. He knitted his brows in confusion.

"Jean is a man."

"Ohuk!" Clara coughed loudly. "But the servant of a woman, Your Majesty. Being taken care of by the opposite sex feels a bit..." Clara answered hesitantly while staring at Meiger's back.

Meiger turned to face Clara.

"He's my confidant. Don't argue and just follow. You've been hitching a ride at my place. Don't be like."

"Ba.good." Clara looked down lethargic.

Avrim...

Entering the imperial palace, Clara was amazed by many things. Unlike the kingdom of Ranunculus, the majority of the place is reached by light. This place was like his room, minimal lighting and a dark aura.

"Jean!"

"What's up, Your Majesty?"

Ek...! Where did he come from?!

Clara is shocked when a man named Jean appears out of nowhere after Meiger calls her name.

"Help him find his room."

Jean looked down, "Your Majesty."

Then Meiger leaves Clara and Jean.

"Miss, can Miss follow me?"

"Um.. of course..."

Jean takes Clara to her room. And after making sure Jean was gone, Clara immediately rested herself. The long night has finally come to an end.

Until the sun comes back in the morning.
