The Antagonist: The World Ends Theory
Chapter 78 - Questions For Clara

"If you're curious, why come with me. Acting kind of cool gives them space, in fact..."

Meiger stared flatly at the two people in front of him. Jean and Edmond had already followed themselves out of the dining room. Unfortunately, their curiosity is too high, so they choose to peek at the conversation of Clara and George.

Edmond glanced, "You should be curious, right? What will the two weapons talk about when they're together."

"Not really."

"Then go there!" Expel Edmond.

He had the courage to expel an emperor.

But Meiger didn't budge when Edmond kicked him out. He gave a faint snort, then left the eavesdropping duo leaning against the palace walls. He shouldn't have to worry about Clara coming here anyway.

His work in Hortensia is more important, even already mounted in his room.

Meiger stared at the sword he was holding, the rose sword belonging to a weapon called Clara Scoleths. His eyebrows fused together, a sentence spewed from his mouth.

"I'll give you this later."

...❀...

George lowered his head, making Clara unable to see clearly how his expression was at the moment. The man had been silent since after hearing Clara's apology.

"For what?"

For a long time, George finally said something.

"Makes you involved with me, and you become a weapon just like me. I should have stayed away from you after we had a hard argument back then. I'm just a pengga-"

"That's not true!" Sela George's.

"For me, you're not a bully. I'm happy when you're with me. I'm getting angry because you're the one who always brings unpleasant topics, it really pisses me off. So, you're not a bully, you're a valuable person in my life." George said it unconsciously.

Hearing George's long words, Clara smiled happily. "So I'm a precious person to you, hm?"

A soft smile was on George's lips. "Yes, just you."

Woah. from the type of hurry now he became a gentle and kind onii-san. He's developing well, sorry to make you so hard. Oh yeah, should I write the letter now?

George stroked Clara's head slowly. He was anxious himself with his senior in being this weapon. George was happy with Clara beside him, maybe his choice not to hold back his feelings this time was right.

"If so, would you like to come home with me to Hortensia?" Clara held her chin, while grinning the horse.

"Hmm. sure."

Clara chuckled softly, very pleased with George's decision. Although he himself still did not really want to ask how George could slaughter the entire elite army in a short time.

Clara herself didn't know when she would ask. Right now he needed to give George a sense of relief in his heart.

"Your choice this time, I can't guarantee you'll smile every day." Lirih Clara, she threw a look down at his feet.

George smiled again, at the end of this he was a little different. He began to smile often and be friendly to everyone. Especially now that Clara had woken up from her long slumber...

George flinched, his smile instantly disappearing. He touched Clara's hand hooking each finger on Clara's finger. Makes the girl look at him strangely.

"Why?" Ask Clara.

"Next time don't worry me anymore, okay? I was so panicked and agitated, when you were lying covered in blood. It scares me. You have to take responsibility for making me like this. So don't make me lonely because of you!"

George said it most recently - hurry, his breath hunts because he only takes one breath. Seeing him, Clara smiled bitterly. Releasing their finger links and patting both of George's shoulders.

"Just calm! I'm not gonna make you back alone in this world. Your Majesty and Jean will accept you, for sure!"

George was silent, then raised the corner of his lips. "That's more than enough for me. Thank you very much, Clara."

...❀...

"Jean! Who's she?"

Clara approached Jean, then whispered to her. Clara was curious about someone who was with Jean. But this level, somewhat familiar to Clara herself.

"He is the heir to the throne of the Vinca Empire, Miss."

Jean tries to be formal with Clara, though she becomes disgusted at herself for calling this land crocodile the heir to the throne. Honestly, Jean never called this weird shitty guy a prince.

Jean was used to Edmond. However, Edmond repeatedly infiltrated Meiger's study and rioted at the imperial palace. Jean was getting fed up with the man. If Edmond wasn't a prince, Jean would have killed him for some obscure reason.

Clara nodded in understanding as she got an answer from Jean. George, who was behind Clara, was silent again, and he became passive after his conversation with Clara.

And Meiger. Edmond himself did not even know whether Meiger had returned to Hortensia or not. But Edmond was sure Meiger wouldn't just go home without bringing his favorite girl.

If Clara was still here, Meiger would have been.

"Miss Clara, my name is Edmond Southbayern." Edmond said, blinking one eye.

Clara suddenly goosebumps amused, stared so by a land crocodile lizard stamp this makes Clara will not be able to sleep at night. It was fortunate that he was helped by this veteran love spreader.

"Pulse... Jean?"

"Yes, Miss?"

"Don't tell me that Your Majesty is here too?" Clara asked while whispering, she was afraid that anyone would hear her other than herself and Jean.

"Your Majesty there is a Miss. But now I don't know where." Answer Jean honestly.

"Oh.great."

"I was afraid of being kicked out of the Hortensia palace for failing a mission. You didn't forget Jean? I was slightly injured, Your Majesty threatened me. I don't want to be thrown into a cold palace and dumped by you two." Clara took it slow.

"Haha... Your Majesty won't do it." Jean chuckles a little.

"Why are you so sure?" Clara's face turned serious.

Jean who did not know to answer, only grinned while scratching his cheek slowly. "Yes.that's it..."

...❀...

It was snowing today, white snow filled the streets. Clouds - clouds appear cloudy, today's weather does not support Clara to play outside.

The plan is Clara wants to go out with Jean, she wants to find a warm snack - warm. Although at the Vinca palace can directly order, but Clara wants a more challenging. He was originally very forced.

George and Meiger are in discussions and Clara is strictly forbidden from interfering in their affairs. For Jean, of course, she's with Clara right now. Because they were in Vinca, the scuffed Meiger ordered Jean to always be with him.

On this unsupportive day, Clara simply looked at the surroundings while sighing, feeling bored to death.

Edmond suddenly appears behind Clara, making Jean almost kick her out of anger. Why is this land crocodile where - where? Even more annoying, these crocodiles can always find their presence.

So nauseating.

"Miss Clara."

Clara looked back, when she heard her name being called. He saw Edmond waving to him accompanied by a smile as sweet as honey.

Clara knows Edmond's character from the novel, this crocodile really likes to say 'like' and 'beautiful' to many women. So, Clara wouldn't be able to if this guy did the same to her. His shield was already very thick, that of the emperor.

Lazily Clara turned her gaze again to the white background that covered the beauty of Vinca. This is mengvevevewkan, but Clara was very happy when she found out she was in the land of Vinca.

Edmond was somewhat surprised by Clara's indifferent attitude towards him. This reminded her of a noble girl who also had the same attitude as Clara. Although Clara is attractive, Edmond still remains true to her unrequited love.

Upon seeing Clara, Edmond was reminded of the question he wanted to ask if he had only met Clara. Meiger said it was impossible for Clara to know where the letter was.

"Miss Clara." Call Edmond again, now he steps up to Clara and stands beside her. Ignoring Jean's irritated gaze, Edmond had gotten it so often and was now immune.

"Hm?" Clara hums slowly.

"I have a question for you, Miss Clara. If Miss pleases, I sincerely hope to get a satisfactory answer from Miss herself." Edmond said, still with a smile a million meaning.

"Oh, what is it?" Clara raised her eyebrows, slightly interested.

"Did Miss Clara ever find a letter that was shown to Miss Love?"

...❀...

"So, how's your condition now?"

Meiger without further ado asked George who was in front of him. The special condition of this child needs to be questioned. It is not so special as Clara's, but this also really needs to be straightened out by both parties.

George lowered his head, "Good. It's just that, ever since the massacre, there's something churning in my chest. They ask for freedom."

Meiger furrowed his brows, a sign that he was in serious fashion. He slightly glanced at the window beside his right, snow falling heavily out there.

"Have you ever heard a certain voice?" Meiger asked again, this interrogation is necessary for him.

"Specific sounds?" George knitted his brows, astonished.

"Yes. They ask for freedom." Meiger said again, as if giving instructions to complete George's astonishment.

George was silent for a moment, then he shook his head slowly. "Nothing like, so far."

"so."

A silent atmosphere was created. George is now a bit hesitant to build a wall around him, Clara has told him to stop holding back. She also learns from Jean (during Clara's sleep) a way to control her often explosive emotions - the explosive.

George looked at Meiger, a young emperor. Even George himself was surprised by the fact that Meiger served as emperor when he was just 15 years old.

The man in front of him was very brave to take risks. He took his father's throne and became involved in politics and economics. Although he mourned the death of the figure he respected the most, Meiger still carried out his responsibilities as heir to the throne.

He studied in these 5 years to become an emperor that exceeded his own father. The results of his hard work during his 5 years in office are also visible.

Only one thing makes George awkward to this great man.

Where is the disappearance of the sapphire eyes that the man should have? Why change into two beautiful rubies? This deviation is increasingly visible in George's eyes, but Meiger is not himself. This emperor was purely born to the Westhley family not an illegitimate child like him.

But still, George felt it was too strange to be taken deeper. Logically, Meiger should have two sapphire trinkets like his predecessors. So, what is with this contrast change?

Surprisingly again, the people of Hortensia never questioned this deviation. They lived comfortably and peacefully in Hortensia without any unrest. It was as if this matter was not something they needed to think about.

As long as their life and country prosper, that would be enough.

Also, why did this man ask as if he already knew the symptoms I was experiencing right now? Or maybe he found out about it from Clara? Why is this guy so suspicious, anyway?

Meiger stood up, approaching the window that was almost filled with chunks of ice. From here, he could see three people who were chatting together. One was an indistinct smile, one was flat-faced, and the other looked extremely irritated.

However, Meiger's focus was only on one of them. He muttered faintly, "I'm still watching you."
