The Antagonist: The World Ends Theory
Chapter 41 - Adjusting Yourself

The next morning, Clara, who was still sleepy, felt that someone had woken her. He just mumbled slowly.

"Avrim..I'm still sleepy, wait another 5,555 minutes..." The mess.

But the person who woke Clara increasingly aggressively do various ways so that Clara would wake up from her sleep.

"Miss, I am Jean not Avrim. Please Miss get up or you'll get in trouble."

"Hm? Jean...?" Clara was still delirious half-conscious.

"Yes, Miss."

Clara suddenly rose from her sleep and forced her eyes to open wide. At that moment, he saw Jean with a face that was worried about something.

Gasp...!

Lothawat! This isn't Wayne's residence and this person isn't Avrim either. I must change my habits or Your Majesty will kick me back to Ranunculus...!

"Yes, Jean...? Where can I take a shower?"

"Oh yes Miss, in every room is always provided a place to wash yourself. Well, there's a place for Miss to wash herself."

Jean pointed at a door other than the exit in this room. "Do I have to help Miss?"

"Hey?! I. that's completely unnecessary, ahaha." Holding back her nervousness and embarrassment, Clara smiled as widely as possible at Jean.

"Then I'll just wait here."

"Eh?! But you'll get bored waiting for me, won't you? You can go out and get back to your usual activities."

"uh? What did Miss say? Miss herself knew not that I was indeed given a special order by Her Majesty to make ends meet and look after Miss, at least until Aunt Avrim returns."

"Um. but it's kinda..." Clara glanced in the other direction still with her already red face extinguished.

I'm not used to being taken care of by people even though it's Avrim. And now do I need to be taken care of by her as well?! Jeez anyone dig a hole for me to bury myself...!

"I understand that Miss is not used to new people like me but rather to"

"No! Not like that! Ak...I'm just embarrassed if the person who takes care of me is a man?!" Clara subconsciously cut Jean's sentence while shouting until her voice echoed throughout the room.

Jean fell silent. He looked at every word - said Clara. Then smile to respond.

Realizing that he was speaking badly, Clara corrected him immediately. "I mean, the Wayne residence that takes care of me is Avrim. Avrim's addition is female so... Then you can understand my point, right...?"

"Yes. I-i understand. How is it different from the first statement?"

"A.ah.it doesn't seem to exist at all."

"Alright Miss. But since I also can't ignore the order can I wait for Miss here?"

Actually I also feel sorry for this young man for working on the 'black' emperor like him. Maybe if I still had the courage I'd want to negotiate a little more with him.

...****...

And it's just going to be a bunch of Clara bullshit. In fact, he was not so brave as to say hello to Meiger at the dinner table. They can only drown in their own daydreams.

And at the same time, Clara realized that the only people sitting at the table were her and Meiger. Jean stood beside Meiger.

This is enough to prove that the Westhley family consists only of a Meiger.

Is her family dead...? I guess, I'm not too sure. Even in the novel, Meiger's background is not told at all. Geez! The lousy writer thought only of romantic scenes apparently!

"Stop that and eat your breakfast immediately before I throw it away."

As he daydreams, Meiger's voice shocks Clara. And without being told twice, Clara immediately finished what was provided on her plate without complaining about anything.

Although he hated the presence of eggplant there.

Also, perhaps because the imperial palace of Hortensia was very dark and light-less. Even in the morning like this, Clara can go to the dining table without using a veil cover or excess clothing.

"If you don't like it you don't have to force it to eat it."

Hm? He realized well.if I intend to set aside eggplants to spend alone. He knew right away that I didn't like him.

"Mr..."

"What's wrong with your hands and shoulders?"

"Eh?"

"That's Your Majesty, last night on our way here we were prevented by many people and the Servant also intervened to handle it. And this is the result that I got." Clara laughed stiffly.

He was still very awkward plus afraid to get along with Meiger. Because viewed from any side, Hendrick, Rovers and Rawe are easier to talk casually than Meiger.

"You were with Avrim back then, weren't you?"

Lothawat! If Your Majesty realizes that Avrim did not come to eradicate those people. Will Avrim be punished?

"Avrim helped along, it's just that the servant was off guard at that time so this is how it ends."

"so." With a little confidence Meiger ended their conversation this morning and continued into her study.

While since Meiger was gone, Clara could breathe a sigh of relief now. Jean turns out not to be following Meiger, but she still remains faithful waiting for Clara to finish her breakfast.

"Have you had breakfast, Jean?"

"Uh? I'm Miss?"

"Yes. Have you?"

"Already Miss, I usually have my own breakfast in the palace kitchen. It is impossible for me to have breakfast here with His Majesty."

"Why?"

"Miss herself knows, right?"

Status matters again, even Hortensia considers that status is very important.

"Did His Majesty forbid it?" Clara asked - asked.

Jean nodded slowly. "No Miss, but I am also aware of my position here. It's a little impolite if I break the barrier."

"However, is it that important, status?"

Jean smiled then. "I don't know either."

...****...

Geez, Avrim hasn't come home yet and I still can't get close to anyone here! Do they consider me more special than them just because I have breakfast at the same table as His Majesty?!

"Avrim return..." Clara Mumbled.

"Miss, if Miss is bored Miss can go around the park." Jean who was behind him gave a proposal.

Clara looked back and looked at Jean lazily. "Do you intend to mock me?"

Jean is immediately reminded if Clara can not go out and meet the sun and hot weather because of her sensitive skin. Avrim even stated that Clara would have burns if too long exposed to sunlight.

"ah! I'm sorry Miss, I didn't mean for that at all-"

"It's okay, I'm used to it. Even on the way here Avrim gave me a warm turnip, how annoying it was."

"Ahaha, that's. Even Aunt Avrim who has been with Miss for the past six years can forget about it."

"Yeah, I don't understand them anymore."

"I heard that Miss had handled a lot of paperwork while she was still at the Wayne residence. Does Miss also want to help Your Majesty in doing his duties?"

"Jean.. please. It's impossible if I've been enslaved in such a short time." Whining Clara, she almost cried hearing Jean's proposal just now.

"I'm sorry Miss, I really don't know how girls taste. So I can't recommend anything to Miss. Since I heard the news from Aunt Avrim, I guess Miss likes such a job..."

"That's what I'm doing because there's no work."

"Np? Isn't Miss now also being relaxed?"

"What are you talking about Jean? I'm not happy, I'm waiting for Avrim to come home. It's my job, don't underestimate it."

"Uh huh.. alright Miss."
