The Antagonist: The World Ends Theory
Chapter 94 - Black Meaning...

"Huh..am!"

Clara greedily ate toast with a spread of grape jam she bought with Duke Wayne downtown. They had already returned to the palace of Agapanthus, while carrying many other snacks. Clara intends to share - share it.

It's actually dinner time soon. But Clara chose to spend a small snack first before dinner. It's not just Clara and Duke Wayne. But Hellen and Valentina were there too, even though they had been throwing hostile gazes at each other.

"Hm? Uh! James!"

Valentina's shout made the other three who were sitting staring at her. Surely Valentina just called James who might be on his way back to his room.

James turned to Valentina who was gathered together with Clara, Hellen and Duke Wayne. He was a bit risky to sit between the two people there because there had been a small incident in the lavender garden before. It's all wrong, Ra's!

But because Valentina swung her arm to ask James to sit with them. James stepped up and walked over to them.

James sat down beside Hellen, where the girl was the idol of his heart. But since Hellen already has a fiancee, James has to be more attitudinal. But somehow, Hellen could always make her fall in love many times.

James glanced at Duke Wayne. This guy was pretty terrible when he caught a rogue. Although not as scary as the personal bodyguard, but James felt his hair bristling when he saw the angry gaze of Duke Wayne.

It became even more calming for him when Duke Wayne just kept quiet and ate the snacks he bought downtown. He did not interfere with how fierce expressions were emanating from the faces of his sister and Valentina.

Clara herself despite seeming to want to stop them, she had not done anything since. James realized, if Clara acts then Hellen and Valentina will be more fierce.

"Your name is James, huh?"

Clara, who could not stand the childish quarrel of the two girls, chose to talk to James. Because Clara still can't cool down the grim-looking Duke Wayne.

"Ah, yes Miss Scoleths." James smiled wryly.

"Don't call me Miss Scoleths, donk!" Clara is suddenly non-formal.

"Uh... So what does he want to be called?"

"How old are you?"

"15."

"Whoah! You still that young?"

James nodded.

"Then call me Rara's sister." Clara smiled widely, revealing her row of white teeth.

"Eh?" James remained silent.

Duke Wayne stared intently at Clara, indeed could not be removed for a moment this girl. Though Duke Wayne was most worried about Clara's closeness to Emperor Hortensia. Because they weren't together for a while without Duke Wayne there.

"Call call me that." Clara.

James sighed and hesitantly said, "Sister... Ra.ra..." His speech was a little nervous, of course due to the sharp gaze directed at him.

"Yeah! James was so cute when he said that." Clara involuntarily pinched the two-cheeked squash of James.

Duke Wayne squinted his eyes, caught in the air with Clara's demeanor. Just be careful if after this James becomes a rival. He's definitely gonna chop Clara.

"Sister, don't lose." Sizzle Hellen.

"James."

James who was still pulled by Clara's cheek looked at Valentina. The girl called out to him with a slight question. Is it possible to ask for the whereabouts of the current Role?

"Where is Mr Edmond?" The question escaped Valentina's lips. After a moment of silence, Valentina was awakened. He covered his mouth with both hands. To hide the red hue on her cheeks.

James knitted his eyebrows, why suddenly people around him exposed to the virus of love? Then James could feel the pressure on his cheek disappear. James rubbed both of his cheeks reddened as he continued to be pulled by Clara.

"His afternoon's date worked?" Ask Clara jahil.

Valentina covered her entire face, embarrassed by those around her. Especially the existence of Duke Wayne in the middle of them. That further made Valentina to condemn his carelessness.

Hellen raised next to his brows, "What do you mean Rara? Afternoon date? She's she? With Edmond Southbayern? Lying or not? Because this kind of big gossip I can't possibly not know!" Hellen immediately bombarded Clara with many questions.

"Patience Allen. The open date afternoon just happened this afternoon. And that was just 2 hours ago." Clara stared at Valentina who was peeking out from the crack of her finger. "You likey? Or love?"

Valentina lowered her hand, twisting her dress with a blushed face. The red hue on both cheeks was now clearly visible to the four of them.

"Maybe both..." Valentina answered in a small voice.

"What?" Clara pretended not to hear it.

"Already Clara! I-i'm ashamed..." Valentina threw her face to the other side. His ears even flushed so shy he.

This talk of love between women is somewhat tarnished by the presence of Duke Wayne and James.

It's too bad to have this kind of conversation. It feels like just pulling Clara out of here. Thought Duke Wayne was annoyed. He then sipped back his bitter tea.

So Valentina has forgotten Crown Prince Ranunculus, huh? Good for him. I wish I could forget my love for Hellen too. Inner James.

James subconsciously looked towards Clara who was smiling meaningfully at Valentina. This girl wants to be combed by Valentina with a Role. But even he became a matchmaker for Valentina and Edmond. It was incredible.

I hope someone accepts what is. Even though I have a hobby that noblemen think is weird.

Then James lowered his face slightly. Staring at the reflection on the tea he just poured into the cup in front of him. A faint smile lay on his lips.

"Yes?"

"How can I get Mr Edmond's heart?" Valentina asked, her face flashing.

Clara was wide-eyed, then blinked her eyes many times. Isn't it with this mission George and himself help Edmond to steal Valentina's heart successfully? It's time for them to come back.

Clara smiled at Valentina.

Clara's hands stretched out and rubbed Valentina's fine mane. The girl just looked down, embarrassed at her own question. It was not the first time he fell in love. But only this time Valentina is more courageous and open herself to his heart problems.

"Just calm. Act like you are. And then, you'll get it. No, he got you too."

"Rome!"

"Huh?"

Hellen had her sidekick, she puffed her cheeks in jealousy. Yeah, jealous because Clara stroked Valentina's hair. Clara has never rubbed her hair.

"What about my head?!" Hellen asked with a sigh.

Clara chuckled, stretched out her other hand and rubbed the top of Hellen's head. Of course Hellen became very excited, for him Clara was his best friend.

"Allen's got the heart, anyway. I just gave Valen a little advice. You two can get married at the same time. Hehe... I'm so jealous of you."

Clara is stared at by Hellen and Valentina. What did Clara say? Envied? What of? A person who is loved by several ikemen at once should be taboo to say the phrase.

Valentina pity the Saw in her heart. While Hellen stared bitterly at his brother. Duke Wayne immediately threw away his face, lazy to pity his sister for the fate of his love. Hellen, too, were it not for Frederick, not necessarily engaged to Rovers by now.

James himself laughed amusedly at the small interaction between the three girls. Now he knows a man whose end made Valentina blank. He also knows Clara's attitude. This girl could always attract the hearts of others because of her congruent attitude.

I don't know. Maybe James will find a partner when he's 18. At the moment James should focus on training to be King only. After her love was rejected indirectly by Hellen, she still treated her heart wound.

...❀...

Jean, James and George. Rovers still faithfully accompanied the stiff silent rode. Actually not for failing to admit to Clara. But about the true identity of the personal bodyguard of Emperor Hortensia. I think there's something wrong with that guy.

"I know you're heartbroken, but you've been quiet here for over an hour. Aren't you tired of sitting?" Rovers slid in.

"No. If it's noisy it's better to go here." Saw grunting rough.

Rovers smiled knot. They are childhood friends who understand each other. There are times when the Raiders exchange positions with the current Rovers. This kind of small exchange had been going on for a long time.

The geese frowned, probably because his insight into this world was still too narrow. So that the question that had been up in his mind was not answered.

I should how? That man, this is the first time I've seen such a phenomenon just now...

"Ah, isn't that Jean." Chirps Rovers.

Saw looked up, "Jean?"

"The personal bodyguard of the Hortensian Emperor was Jean." Answer Rovers.

The rover looked in the same direction as the Rovers. There was Jean who was walking along with a servant girl. He may be asking for directions so as not to get lost.

The expression of the Goat got even more complicated when staring at Jean's flat face.

Why can't I see the color of his emotions? There is no other color than black. Just that color. What exactly is going on?

Without turning her head, Jean glanced sharply at the Saw as it felt noticed. Spontaneous Saw looked to the other side, to avoid Jean's piercing gaze.

"What happened to you?" Rovers asked confusedly.

Ghostly pecking. Back glanced at Jean who had already walked away from them. All that the Geard could see was a silent empty passage.

I'm sure Jean wasn't his real name.

...❀...

A silver-bladed man stared at the softening sky that was beginning to blacken. The sun had set since then, but the moon and new stars appeared.

There was something that made George uneasy, his heart could not calm down. The night sky that usually makes him calm even causes the opposite effect. Something's wrong here.

"Why..."

George squinted his eyes, staring at the star that was shining alone in the night sky. No matter the cluster of stars on the other side, the star only emitted its own light without anyone accompanying even one.

He was shining so bright and lonely there.

This star usually gives off its brightest rays in autumn. George had no idea why this spring the star seemed to remain the brightest. Is the starlight around it dim?

"Fomalout." George called the star's name.

George clutched his chest. The anxiety within him grew stronger. But George could not say his concern to anyone. His tongue was too faint to just say - words, he could only harbor all his anxiety.

Bad feeling. I hope nothing happens...
