That Man’s 101st Bad Ending

cold rage-2

– I believed you loved me.

Robert’s voice rang in his ears.

With a calm expression, the way he casually explained my past seemed calm.

It seemed to mean nothing to me now.

Saying that there were times when he realized that it was a one-sided feeling and felt betrayed, Robert smiled lightly.

– It doesn’t matter now, though.

nettle liquid-

There was a sword that stretched sharply through the air.

There was a sword that was sharper and rougher than usual, and at the same time it emitted ferocious force without hiding it.

Giggik, the sword stepped on the ground and drew a line in the air.

Adele’s sword always symbolized the flow.

I was born in a harsh northern land, but that sword always reminded me of softness.

However, I knew myself that it was a rough and radical sword today.

The sword was based on emotion, and it was a small amount of anger that stood on himself after hearing Robert’s story.

Booung – From dawn to morning. During that time, he swung his sword to clear away his thoughts.

Why is it so complicated in my head?

“…ha.”

After staring at the sword standing tall in the air, Adele slowly closed her eyes and tilted her head.

In a nutshell, Robert’s story could be described as the story of a man who was betrayed.

The story of a man who fell for a woman who approached him in search of love.

However, the love he whispered to me was actually a lie, and he had been tricked into approaching the family property.

In a way, it was a story that I heard quite often. The reason why they broke up and became distant was because of such an inside story.

It’s something I haven’t been paying much attention to.

It’s just someone else’s job, so it’s not that special.

Asking about the name Theresia was only because she wanted to know what kind of connection she had with Robert, not because she was curious.

He rubs his forehead, then sweeps his face. There was no reason to take it seriously.

No connection, no. He is now an adjutant, but that was the past of a man who was just that.

There was no reason for him to ask in the first place, and even if he did, he did not have to think so seriously.

By the way.

…and yet.

Adele frowned slightly, breathing heavily.

Anger is a passionate emotion.

If it explodes once, it burns like a flame and continues to explode until it is extinguished.

However, what I had now was different from that.

Wouldn’t it be possible to say that it is cold enough to freeze when touched.

I myself was surprisingly calm, so I could see more clearly how I was feeling.

It was true that he was obviously angry.

The behavior of a woman named Theresia was one of the things she hated the most, and she was enraged that Robert had gone through such a thing.

Of course, it wasn’t just anger now.

This feeling was more soggy than that. Caring not about what happened to Robert, but about what he had said before.

Even if she thought it was pretty ugly, Adele smiled bitterly and let go of her sword.

The crude sound of iron striking is heard, and the space is swept away by silence again.

No sound was heard. Only the sound of his own breathing remained.

-…For a while, there was a woman I loved.

I was shaken by those words.

Even though I knew they were already engaged before, I thought in my heart that it was an arranged marriage.

Didn’t you think it was just a family-to-family engagement without any feelings for each other?

If you think about it, it was ridiculous to even think that way. For what reason do you think that?

Jealousy.

Adele gave a small smile at the words penetrating between her vague thoughts.

It was the first feeling she had since she was born, but Adele was unaware of her feelings.

If you want to have it, you have it. I wanted to do it, and if there was something I liked, I somehow made it my own.

Even if it was a person rather than a thing, what Adele wanted came true in the end.

There was just one thing I wasn’t sure about.

He always looks at himself with empty eyes and spits out words filled with unreadable emotions.

However, Robert’s voice when he was talking about a woman named Theresia was quite complicated.

If there was anything that opened my eyes to the first voice I heard when I met a man named Robert Taylor, it was probably about my feelings.

“It’s ugly.”

There was someone who was interested and wanted to make it my own.

I wanted to keep it by my side. He had always done it if he wanted to, so he thought it would be like that this time too.

Even so, the woman who realized for the first time that there were things that couldn’t be done, smiled bitterly and picked up the sword.

Maybe my anxiety stems from these feelings.

You have to brush it off. However, can I get rid of it myself?

Adele’s life had always been full of certainty, but for the first time I couldn’t be certain.

Adele always felt uneasy when she saw a man named Robert.

When the day came for Mirazen to return to the imperial palace, the people of this nature started to move pretty quickly.

It was probably to greet those coming from the imperial palace.

Since both Adele and Mirajen were so busy, I finally found some time to spare when I was left alone.

Although the room was left alone, the surroundings were still noisy.

Meeting Miragen is probably right before leaving, so I guess it means that there is quite a lot of time to spend alone before then.

There was only one thing to think about during the free time.

The name Theresia was heard out of nowhere in the North. Looking at the pattern Adele handed me, I frowned.

“Did I do this for you to see?”

It’s true that Theresia is foolish, but that doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with her intelligence.

The fact that I spilled my name or pattern while revealing the location of the princess to the enemy was probably intentional.

I know I’m in the North And he knew that he would go to the princess.

How?

This question that we are facing right now is the problem. How did Theresia know of my existence?

Of course, how did he know that he was going to the north, but it was far from the time when the central government knew that he had become Adele’s lieutenant and even went to subjugate foreigners.

It took 10 days for me to come to the north and start the subjugation, and during those 10 days, I was able to gather information and sneak out to inform the location of the princess.

It would be impossible even for a competent person other than Miragen.

Maybe someone could help.

Maybe that someone knew that the princess was in the northwest.

From the beginning, the purpose was to kill the princess,

If Miragen found out I was in the North and used that fact to bring me in…

Perhaps that would be a sufficient explanation for this.

The fact that the princess was in the northwest was more than an aide-de-camp, but it was a fact that only the main ministers of the imperial family knew.

However, the adjutants here were not such people.

Since the power originally came from Adele’s mercenary group, it meant that no one would hold a grudge against the princess.

Then, the member of the Iranian royal family who informed us about the princess.

After thinking for a moment, my gaze then stopped in midair.

“…Kaytel.”

Someone who can keep the princess in check, someone who is willing to kill her. the only person in the royal family.

The ministers had no reason to keep the princess in check.

Their purpose is to be loyal to the would-be emperor, and they have no reason to cling to Mirazen, who has no chance of becoming an emperor.

In the first place, all the centers of power were attached to the crown prince.

Of course, Keitel was in the same situation, but Keitel’s thoughts were more extreme.

If there was any sign of harm to my power, I had the possibility to deal with it.

Isn’t this the first time Miragen has come to the Northwest? that he was trying to kill.

The princess, who had not shown any movement until now, moved to find her place.

If it bothered him, he tried to kill him indirectly.

My mind was complicated.

If the name Keitel was mentioned, it meant that the affair had started from the point the princess said she would go to the northwest in the first place.

In such a situation, Theresia intervened, told the foreign people the location of the princess, and thus came so far.

“Theresia, Violet.”

Looking at the pattern he received from Adele, he crumpled his hands and clenched his fists.

It was quiet for a while, and I thought it would never come back again.

However, I realized that it was a mistake.

Didn’t this woman take it with hate, get back up and cross the line?

If they were only inside, they would have lived their lives without encountering each other again, but Theresia reached out her hand toward her again.

And touched Miragen.

I’ve confessed it now, but putting Mirazen’s life in danger was a regret I had held close to me for a hundred years.

If there is such a thing as a person’s yeokrin, maybe my yeokrin wasn’t this time.

I thought the time to stay in the north was a little longer.

I thought it wouldn’t be a problem if I moved a little more leisurely. It seemed that it was time to move again.

Did I tell you to come to the South?

I don’t know what might be waiting for me, but I wasn’t afraid of it.

He just wants to cut ties with a woman named Theresia.

I had no intention of leaving it any longer.

If it’s an existence that doesn’t exist in the future I’m drawing, wouldn’t it be better to erase it?

smart-

When I turned my head to the sudden sound, I heard a familiar voice from beyond the door.

Looking at the clock, I realized that quite a bit of time had passed.

It was probably because it was time for Mirazen to leave soon, to see her off.

“It’s Lotos, but shouldn’t you come out soon? Her Highness will be leaving soon.”

“I will leave.”

Hearing Lotos’ voice, he went out, dressed neatly as usual, and fixed his glasses.

He must have shaved off his goatee beard neatly, and when he saw my appearance, he opened his mouth with a small smile.

“You look pretty dressed up, though. Her Highness, the princess, will not be sad.”

“Where is the Grand Duke?”

When I asked, Lotos, who stared blankly for a moment, shrugged.

“Maybe you will come out soon? But if you’re looking for it, you must have something to say.”

“okay.”

I didn’t like the weird smile, but I nodded when I said it would come soon.

It was simple to say to Adele. That it seems that they will have to leave the North ahead of schedule.

And even the words I was trying to convey to her.

I’ll probably go back to the center for a while, but I was thinking of going straight to Adrian, not the duke’s residence.

As much as heading south, it would be nice to have a relationship with the church, so wouldn’t you go alone with Adrian while you’re in the south anyway?

I don’t think there is any need to be awkward with each other. It would be better to look at his face often beforehand and erase the awkwardness.

When I raised my head, the wind blew.

It took a while to see the wagon with the flag of the imperial palace fluttering, countless people, and Lotos exclaiming.

Then the woman standing next to the carriage caught my eye.

I thought it was Miragen, but that cold gray hair was only possessed by one woman.

Adele Ygritte.

As she remembered the name, she smiled slightly.

It was a pretty pleasant smile, as if he had been waiting for me to come.
