The Antagonist: The World Ends Theory
Chapter 66 - Repeating History

It was a very dark day, late afternoon. It has been almost a day the three men resigned to carry out a kidnapping mission in Freesia. I hope everything is okay. Because the bad memories of the two were there, although the Emperor himself was not sure Clara still remembered.

Meanwhile in the Hortensia Imperial Palace, two beings of different nature were still gathered in one place. Well, the Emperor had actually tried his best to expel him. But what power this is, that man has a strong stand.

About the bell of the temple that fell this morning, it has been taken care of even to the buildings. Although Meiger preserved the temple, but still. Bad memories of his mother are there, hoping Meiger doesn't change his decision in the middle of a renovation.

"Hurry up and get out of here and wander off to find new love. I'm sick of seeing your face for hours on end, more disgusting actually."

With his cruel words that may have been filtered but not yet clean, Meiger without implied speech or heeding his sentence forced the invisible creature that one to lift feet from his palace.

Unfortunately he is the heir to Vinca, this crocodile who every say 'loyal' always makes Meiger want to vomit with his love speech. Edmond could never be expelled except in certain ways.

Looks like Meiger's got to make his castle darker, considering this guy hates the dark.

Because the last time he used camphor, his palace became 'fragrant' and Edmond even more at home.

And when using onions, suddenly the inhabitants of the palace became melancholy.

"It's so bad of you! We've been friends for a long time, haven't we?"

"Don't make time a benchmark for everything, stupid."

"Eck! Your mouth is evil. I want to know how Clara reacts when you talk to her like this. You like that girl yakan~" Goda Edmond.

Meiger frowned, realizing that Edmond and Clara had the same impression. I don't know where Meiger could think of such a fool.

"He's sometimes scared and sometimes happy."

"Uhuk! Happy?!" The man was choking, not because of food or drink. Except Meiger's ambiguous speech.

"When I threatened her last time, she was too happy." Connect Meiger.

What kind of joke is this? Threatened and happy are two words that cannot be juxtaposed so easily. Unless Clara is a...

...masochistic?

Doubtfully Edmond turned his head to Meiger who was still busy struggling on his beloved documents, Edmond did not want to know what it contained. Because then he'll know for himself. The nightmare will come to him soon.

"Hey Meiger, don't tell me that gun has a brain disorder? You know that, right? Something like that..." Edmond chose every vocabulary he used and filtered it as clean as possible or his sidekick would be serious about expelling it.

The problem is that when Meiger headed to the temple, Edmond who did not want to deal with the temple chose to mingle with the inhabitants of this palace.

And according to the information he got from Nero and his friends. Clara is an antique here, almost extinct and very expensive. Like a beautiful vase of glass that is prone to breaking, so fragile and can not be repaired.

Actually they also do not know since when Clara became valuable here, everything naturally happened. All they know is, just now Meiger's acting like a standby husband to Clara, that's all.

Meiger grunted in annoyance.

"Just ask him, his brain isn't mine."

Edmond clucked blindly, indeed this human demon. He could only hope that Clara would not choose this person as her life companion. But because they were friendly, on the other hand Edmond also prayed for this man to get married quickly before being invaded by noble girls.

Edmond stood up from the chair and walked towards the door.

Meiger is upset with him. "Why is it now?"

"Woy! Are we friends or not?!"

"You're the only one who confessed - I'm here."

"At least ask me 'where do you want to go?' that so?!"

Meiger became more and more riled, indeed this human is very much willing especially if Meiger has given orders to him to come out. Then sort of - kind of already the conditions he gave to Meiger.

So annoying.

"Where are you going?"

Meiger relented, Edmond smilingly won.

"Freesias."

...❀...

The night has come, the sun has been replaced by the moon. There were only the sounds of crickets and owls, adding to the gripping atmosphere tonight.

The frontier forest. Several Freesian soldiers were on guard, preparing to protect their territory from intruders, especially if it came from Ranunculus. They should have invaded the Central region, but until now it has not been achieved.

But their leader is making a deal with Vinca. Not now, but that doesn't mean it won't happen. For the Emperor Vinca sent his own son for this deal.

"It's in curfew, time to turn the soldiers." Said a well-built man who seemed to be the head of a soldier.

"Good!"

Following the orders, the soldiers immediately took turns taking positions of guard. The day was getting late, the head soldier ordered the more senior soldiers to stand guard. Because night is usually used by criminals to infiltrate. Junior warriors could not necessarily handle it.

The chief soldier also stood guard at night.

His eyes stared around in detail. Keep an eye on every little movement. Even the bushes that swayed because of the squirrel were rewarded with eagle gazes by him.

STAB! BRUK!

"Who?!"

The head soldier heard the sound of a sizable fall. He immediately checked into the sound and found that one of his men had been lying with an arrow stuck in his head. His deathly face was covered with blood.

This incident made the soldier's head become more alert. He looked all over, trying to find the archer who dared to make one of the Freesian soldiers die.

SRETT! SRING

The small tremors behind him made the soldier's head turn his head, grabbing the sword and repelling the sword attack from his enemy. With a ruthless look the soldier's head exerted all his strength.

WHOSSES

The night wind blew fiercely, flying his enemy's robe. Showing a beautiful face that is terrible at night visiting. A crazy killer aura always emanated from her, insignificant about gender.

The killer is still the killer.

The warrior head widened both his eyes. No, he was not surprised because of the beauty of this girl he was facing. Unless he knew her, he was...

"The weapon that was kidnapped six years ago." Mumbled.

The natureak! He knows anyway! Looks like he's old, uh, I mean he's been a soldier here for a long time.

"Guakhs!"

Clara deflected the soldier's defenses, beating him back as far as possible. Let Jean shoot one after another of these men. Jean was currently in the hills, tasked with eliminating the soldiers from there. While Clara who could only fight close quarters was forced to go downstairs alone.

STAB!

Again - again the sound of arrows was launched. The head soldier is seen growling in annoyance when Jean manages to kill his target with just one shot.

"ENEMY!!! THE ENEMY!!!"

Clara was surprised, the head soldier shouted loudly which became a signal for her flock to come.

"Yes!!"

STAB!

Clara managed to stick her sword blade on the skull bone of the soldier's head. Soon, his brain won't work anymore. Clara pulled back her rose sword and let the body of the soldier's head fall to the ground.

"But what - what was that scream?"

There was a boisterous sound from the top of the hill, Clara thought if there was an enemy that had gone up, they immediately knew the whereabouts of Jean. Not seeing Jean's figure from anywhere, it seemed like she was being preoccupied with close combat.

Samar - faint Clara heard from behind her that something was coming.

Reinforcements... enemies...? I think I just need to kill the head of the soldier. Don't don't don't yell just to call them...? Then it's bad.

Clara's pale face grew pale, paying attention to the group of iron soldiers and the various weapons they carried. Clara's hand that was tightly holding her sword shook violently. The number of enemies was more than he fought with Duke Wayne when he escaped from Ranunculus.

Haha... A very large number!! So compact.

Clara did not dare to say - the word saw the number of those who might be 100, could have been more but impossible less than that.

Not long ago he fell into a hole and was only able to get out after a few hours, plus the trip to the Freesia forest took a long time. Their rest was not long either. But now what? They're surrounded.

The front soldier stared at the head of the soldier who had been stiffened with a hole in his head. As well as several other soldiers as well, they were already lifeless from being shot by arrows.

"It's poisonous." He said with a growl, he looked at Clara with annoyance and pointed at her. "You have killed them all, I will bring you under the feet of His Majesty the King!"

"Did? Whahuh? Kidding, right?" Said Clara half-laughing, unfortunately her heart panicked not playing at this time.

Clara closed her eyes.

Come out black magic! Please let them down so I can kill them!

How unlucky Clara was, maybe because her spell was wrong so there was not a single speck of black smoke coming out of her body. Though he felt that his strength was very toxic in Hortensia.

Okay fine! Fine! I'll use myself as bait. The second weapon must be kept well - both by the king in the palace, so let's go to the palace even if in a way that is not elite in the least.

I'm sorry Jean, it's for a kidnapping mission. The important thing is that you saved me when you kidnapped George, then Your Majesty won't fire you as an exemplary clerk.

...❀...

A man is putting his weight on a sword. His breath was stingy - stinging as most moved, fresh blood flowed profusely in his stomach which contained stab wounds. Around him there were a lot of corpses.

"I have to go down and see Miss. Also apologizing for leaving Miss just like that."

The man stared irritatedly at the dozens of corpses lying on the ground. "It's all because of them, how could they know of my whereabouts so soon?"

He spat at the corpses, put his sword back in and came down from the hill. Jean pressed against her stomach which was very painful, she tried to ignore the pain to immediately meet Clara.

Unfortunately Jean was late.

Under the hill there are only a few bodies that he arrows and a soldier's head that has a hollow head, it was Clara. And only one thing remains.

The rose sword that was stuck on the surface of the ground, seemed to sparkle under the moonlight.

Jean approached the sword, and there was apparently a picture of a house with flower ornaments on the ground close to where the rose sword was embedded. The flowers are so ugly that even a small child can make a better one than this. But Jean knew it wasn't just a prank drawing from Clara.

The weapon wrote down where it was.

Jean looked at a magnificent white building far from where it is now.

Clara was taken to the palace of Freesia.

"Did Miss deliberately turn herself in? Resign and ingenious is a thin difference."

Wouldn't that place only evoke bad memories?

What a terrible weapon.
