The Antagonist: The World Ends Theory
Chapter 19 - Memory of Hortensia III

BRUG

"Oh...!!!"

Hellen crashed into the wall in front of him then resentfully kicked him.

"Who put the wall here?! Doesn't he know that this is for people's way."

"Hm?" Hendrick who heard Hellen's complaint suddenly approached him. "What's up, Hellen?"

Hellen looked on in annoyance and saw that his eyes were already watering with tears. "Sister..."

GREPS

"Eh?"

Hellen hugged Hendrick and started crying hysterically.

"Eh? What was? Why are you crying? Rarely do you shed your tears for nothing."

"Hiks... Hicks..."

Got no answer. Hendrick brought Hellen to sit down and wait for his sister to calm down first. After Hellen's crying subsided, Hendrick began to ask why his sister was crying.

"Why are you being a crybaby? What the hell happened to you?"

"Rara, she was cold to me, as if she and I had never been friends before. At first I thought it was just part of his lie game. But when I looked into her eyes, that's when I was sure that Rara didn't remember me anymore. He was cold to me. We have been friends for a long time..."

Hendrick asked a little. It was unexpected that he would get a long and cursive answer in addition to that. Well... Hendrick. At this time Hellen did need an ear to let out his complaints.

"Sister."

"Hm?"

"I want to go to the academy in the capital."

"uh? Back when Brother offered you you you said you didn't. Now you've changed your mind. You know Hellen? Learning with the burden of the mind or just for the impingement will not be beneficial to you."

"That's it, Brother."

"..."

"I don't want to see his face. That sucks for me."

Hendrick breathed.

"Alright, Brother will ask Dad for permission first before sending you to the capital. You should also tell this to Mom, okay?"

Hellen nodded languidly. "okay."

...****...

"Dad, can I come in?" Hendrick shouted from outside the room.

"Come in."

Hendrick turned the doorknob and walked over to his father.

"Dad, Hellen said he wanted to go to the academy of the capital. Will you allow it?"

Duke Wayne stopped filling out his paperwork. "What's? Why did it arrive - once? He rejected it, right? Now why change?"

Hendrick.

"Is there something going on between him and Clara Scoleths?"

Hendrick is still tight-lipped.

Feeling certain that his statement was on target, Duke Wayne gave a rude snort. "He recovered too quickly." Mumbled Duke Wayne.

"Dad said something?" Hendrick asked, he felt that his father was muttering something. But it was too vague that Hendrick did not hear it clearly.

"No, nothing at all."

"so." Hendrick could only swallow the disappointment.

This isn't the first time Duke Wayne has kept secrets from him and his family. Hendrick just needs to pretend to be stupid and not interfere in his father's affairs too deeply.

"On Hellen's request. All right, Dad's gonna let it go. But on one condition, he had to focus on finishing his school until it was over. Tell him to forget his friendship with Clara Scoleths. Because it will be difficult to return to how it was."

"I'll take my step back, Dad."

"good. Maybe Hellen will leave tomorrow. She said something like 'seeing her face feels annoying', right?"

...****...

"So, I gave you permission."

"really?"

Hendrick nodded slowly.

"But on one condition."

"What's that?"

"Your focus is only on your school. Don't think about anything else, because it'll interfere with your school. Besides, you have to finish school, not half."

"It doesn't just sound one."

"Here you go, get ready - be ready. Tomorrow you leave. Faster would be better. You don't want to see his face any longer than this, do you?"

"Of course!"

...****...

Tomorrow.

"Everything is packed and complete. I'm just leaving."

Hellen stared at his mother. He will probably be in school for a long time.

"See you later, Mother. Hellen will finish Hellen school as soon as possible so that I can meet Hellen quickly."

"Haha... Learning is not sooner or later. Don't forget your original purpose for the academy, be diligent - study hard, my son Hellen."

"Dad, take good care of me, okay?"

"certain."

GREPS

Hellen hugged Duke Wayne. "Hellen will miss you when you get there."

"What do you mean by 'when you get there'?"

"Hehe..."

"What about me?" Circlap Hendrick.

Hellen looked at Hendrick with a mocking look.

"There's no way I've forgotten my handsome brother. I'll find your bride there, brother." Hellen said ignorant.

"Hey, lucky you're my sister."

"See you, my handsome brother~"

"Actually she learned to flirt from whom?" Gerrick Hendrick.

Duke Wayne glanced at his smiling wife - an indistinct smile. He knows who made this one and only daughter that way.

"What's wrong?"

"No, there's no. Don't think about it. It doesn't matter either."

Inside the horse carriage, Hellen looked at the window of the room belonging to someone who had now become very closed. Hellen looked at him with hate. Then he clenched his hand tightly.

I'll come back and make you regret your attitude towards me, Clara Scoleths.

...****...

"So, what made you change that day?" Hendrick stared hard at Clara.

Clara shut up for a moment. He only knew that before this body was entered by him. Clara Scoleths has an attitude that often changes like chameleon skin.

"I may have forgotten, Mr. Hendrick."

That's all Clara can say.
