The Antagonist: The World Ends Theory
Chapter 71 - The Weapon of Freesia IV

The night before.

Clara doodles - scribbles the blank sheets of paper. Just mimicking what George often does when Clara is next to him. But Clara's writing seemed absurd and useless so it could only end up in the trash.

Out of annoyance, Clara slams her pen to the table. Buffing his chin with a pouty face typical of girls who dicuekin his girlfriend. His cheeks bulged with unbearable vexation.

Several times Clara also made a strange expression, clicked her tongue and circled the entire room while singing or humming. That was all he did to dispel the anger of George's attitude that was getting colder to him.

Okay, from top to bottom it's all Clara's fault. Because the girl who first mumbled and rioted at George. But there should not be a reply that Clara got so bad, even Hendrick who is famous for his salt attitude can still be patient with Clara.

"He's gone too far for ignoring a pretty girl like me!"

Clara's getting her lips together, her face just getting ugly, maybe that's what Hendrick would have commented if she were here. Late - late this is also Clara increasingly visible antagonistic nature.

"Hm?"

Clara was a little sidetracked from her irritation, it was already into winter. That means the Duke's change of position has been done even since a week ago. The day that Clara had not set foot in this silver palace.

"How is Mr Hendrick? I can't call a pigeon, so I can't send a letter to Wayne's residence. When I get back to Hortensia, I'll write them a letter!" Determined Clara.

He quickly forgot the anger in his heart. He had also stopped making such a bizarre act as before. Well, Clara's been rather calm. Thank Hendrick because when Clara remembered him she was no longer angry with George.

You owe Hendrick, George.

CRESTING

"...? What's that sound?"

Clara turned her head outside the window where the scenery beside the silver palace was a wilderness. No doubt if Clara had asked several times for the company of the waiter until she fell asleep. Because the sound of crickets in the middle of silence is bad for Clara.

And worse, just now there was a sound emerging from the bush. But Clara didn't see anyone there. Of course, the Clara people just checked out from a long distance.

This is an anticipation if there is a jump scare.

CRESTING

"Click, who would dare to scare me?!" Grumpy Clara.

Clara finally ventured to get closer to the window to check. He hoped that the cause of the sounds - the sound of horror was a squirrel or at least a snake. Who are still on the ground.

Clara took the first step towards the window.

TOK TOK TOK

The window is knocked from the outside.

"ARGH!!!!" Clara screamed hysterically.

There is no horror genre in this novel! Nothing at all!!!!

Suddenly a black shadow appeared near the window, even the shadow was trying to climb the wall whose purpose was to enter Clara's room.

Clara's body suddenly stiffened, her legs unable to move to escape. His greatest fear is to be surprised by subtle creatures especially those whose physical are not intact. That alone was enough to put Clara on a hunger strike for an entire week. And now that ghosts started to appear, what was Freesia that disgrace?

Do not jump scare. Do not jump scare. Do not jump scare. Do not jump scare. Do not jump scare.spooky screams also should not! Whispering is forbidden! Then just remove the spooky sound effects...

In his heart Clara increasingly loudly reciting various kinds of powerful spells ever given by Nero. Since it turned out that Nero's mother was an elder of the black sect whose main task was to drive away the spirits, it was likely that this expulsion spell would be a success.

BRACKET!

The window was forcefully opened from the outside, and the black shadow casually entered. He walked up to Clara while sticking out his hand, trying to reach Clara. Clara's reflex closed her eyes in fear.

Don't eat me...!

.

.

.

"Miss."

Clara's stiff body became limp, her immovable legs felt boneless again. Then Clara fell to her feet, her eyes now wide open were adorned by tears in her veins.

"Don't eat me. hyks..." Isaac Clara.

Jean frowned in wonder.

Yep, it was Jean who came to settle down - sludge like a shadow just now. If only Clara was mentally weaker than this, then it was certain that Jean would become a sudden healer because someone had fainted.

Jean immediately put away her headscarf, and this time her face could be clearly seen by Clara. Actually ever since Jean said 'miss' just now, Clara already knew that the one who came was Jean. The reason Clara became limp and fell down was because she was grateful that coming was not a subtle creature. It turned out that memorizing the expulsion spell was not very useful either, at least in this Freesia.

"I won't eat Miss, just calm down." Jean tries to calm Clara down.

She crouched down in front of Clara, "I don't have much time Miss. Since this is the Palace of Freesia, it's a danger that I get caught infiltrating it."

"And how did you infiltrate?"

"I have someone to take advantage of."

Clara frowning.

"It's Miss, the most important thing now is the news I'm delivering. So Miss, please listen carefully, life and death Miss depends on Miss's understanding in absorbing information." Jean dispels Clara's suspicions, because the most important thing right now is not that.

"I'll come back 2 weeks from now to pick Miss home." Jean said seriously.

Clara was surprised to hear that.

"Two weeks? But doesn't that mean we still have another week before the month-long term His Majesty gave us runs out? If so we will just waste time donk. What's more, I can't convince George in 2 weeks." Papar Clara's.

"But Miss, it's been the best. The main problem was that Freesia would move her elite forces to attack Ranunculus silently. If Miss still wants to wait until the month's deadline is up, then Miss will be the one who runs out." Jean said, her face was very serious.

Clara swallowed her saliva heavily, beginning to worry about Jean's words. "Where do you know that, Jean?"

"I told you I have people I can use. And again his connection with Freesia happened to be strong - strong. So Miss need not doubt the truth and accuracy of my information. Because this info is 100% true."

"But-"

TOK TOK TOK

Amidst her conversation with Jean, Clara was startled by the screams of someone from outside. He asked Clara, meaning the identity of the door knocker is the waiter here. From his tone of voice he sounded so worried.

Clara gave Jean the code to hide behind the door, wherever that was the blind spot of the door was enough. Jean nodded obediently and looked for a place to hide, if that would not be seen by people from the door.

After Jean gets into a good position to hide herself. Then Clara exhaled, opening the door slowly. Look at the waiter with a panicked expression.

"Miss is fine, isn't it? I heard Miss screaming so loud. I then rushed here to check on Miss." Said the waiter.

"Ti-nothing - what. There's only rats passing by. Hehe..." Clara laughed crisply as she scratched her cheek awkwardly.

The waiter then sighed in relief, "Thank God that Miss is okay - napa. Then forgive me for bothering Miss with all that yelling."

"No problem, thank you for worrying about me too." Then Clara smiled wryly.

"I'll say hi, Miss, excuse me." The servant bowed his body and left from the front of Clara's room.

Clara could breathe a sigh of relief, she closed the door and let Jean out of her hiding place. "It's good that he's not aware of you, Jean."

"Let's not talk about it anymore, I don't have much time to talk about it."

"Have, but you have no advice for me how to approach George to get him out of Freesia? She insisted when I asked her. Maybe if I knew something about him then it wouldn't be this hard." Clara Complaints.

"Do you want your lady to know about him?"

"Anything, eits! But I already know well that he's still afraid to kill people."

"Your Majesty has even told me about it."

"Alright Jean. You probably know what kind of relationship there is between George and King Willem."

Jean was stunned for a moment, she cleared her throat slowly before answering Clara's question. "This sensitive question is actually that..."

"If you doubt the ending I can't get close to George!" Grumpy Clara.

"OK - okay. George Northern was actually King Willem's illegitimate son."

Heh? Is that their relationship...?

"Then?" Clara.

"Mother George is just a waiter here. But the King is attracted to her because George's mother's physique tends to be prettier than other servants. The king then calls her to his room at night and they say 'that', miss you know." Obviously Jean, she was a bit hesitant to expose the disgrace of others.

Clara's cheeks warm up, her face mingled because she might fantasize about the hot night between George's mother and King Willem. It's very sinful.

"Then? Then?"

"George's mother became pregnant immediately, and she was embarrassed to publicize her pregnancy because the maids around her learned that she was not married. Then George's mother stopped being a servant here and chose to raise her womb in her hometown. King Willem knew that, but he respected his cheating decision."

Okay, so far I understand.

"Well after George's mother gave birth to Georgo because of her frail physique George's mother died shortly after giving birth. King Willem who knew it grieved and took George for adoption."

Eh? So far it's normal...

"But all that happiness was wiped out when Frederick Wayne kidnapped Miss. King Willem who was not sane even made his own son a weapon so that Miss's position is not empty."

The old man loved to cause trouble. Huft... Now the important thing is that I have information about George, hopefully I can use it tomorrow.

...❀...

"Tell me George, why doesn't he treat you the way he treats his children? You're his son, aren't you?"

".....!"

George was silent for a thousand words, Clara's statement could not be denied. But this is not the truth Clara needs to know. George tried to deflect the facts.

"Your brain is tilted? There's no way I'm the son of His Majesty the King!" George strongly denied.

"Is it true that all you want is the love of your family?"

Clara ignores George's previous evasion. He rained down on George with another question. Because Clara's annoying behavior is what ignites George's anger.

"That's enough! You always take me away from Freesia. I tell you once again that Freesia is my home! And now that you're starting to go crazy calling me the son of His Majesty the King, don't upset me, Clara Scoleths."

"But that's right!? He's been stressed out for making you my replacement. You shouldn't just give up, you have your own life and dreams. Stop burying it deep."

"This is the source of my happiness! How can you say that I have another dream huh?!" Challenge George.

Clara looked at him no less, she approached George's bed where there was a book that had always been held by George. Seeing Clara pick up the book, George panicked to death. He tries to take it back but Clara dodges and moves away as soon as possible.

Then Clara lifted the book high.

"You wrote down your dream, here!" Strictly Clara.

George's eyes are perfectly rounded, it is impossible for Clara to know the contents of the book. Because every time Clara peeked at the contents, George immediately closed it so that Clara did not know.

"That's not true..." George is still trying to avoid.

"George, why do you expect such an indeterminate affection while there I am here for you."

George's shoulders jerked softly, his eyes glazed over when he heard Clara's statement. Tucked away a happy feeling when Clara said it. Strange indeed, but George was not entirely irritated when Clara came to his room every day.

Clara subconsciously made herself not lonely anymore.

"You are not sane..."
