The Antagonist: The World Ends Theory
Chapter 74 - The Abduction Plan

The day that Clara would escape along with Freesia's indiscriminate assault had arrived. George and Clara are still acting normal, but George is a little bit upset because this is the last day Clara is here.

I don't know why George wouldn't let Clara just walk away.

George was actually astonished at his father. It's winter, it's early. But still, only the idiot leader sent his troops in the cold to attack the enemy country. Honestly, it makes George cluck if he remembers.

Breakfast with Clara, this is a new routine created yesterday. George is sorry he just did it now. He shouldn't be that prestigious just for breakfast with this senior weapon.

George glanced at Clara who was engrossed in peeling the skin of the fruit, something strange here. Usually the girl without peeling her skin even though it will be swallowed directly. But now?

Wow, another phenomenon is happening here.

George's glance was captured by Clara, "Why George? Was there a stain on her face until you saw me like that?" He said while touching his cheek.

"Not stupid. Why are you stupid 'sih?" George said with a sigh.

Hey? He's got a gelud apparently!

"Clar."

"Hm?" Clara took the bread in front of her and ate it ferociously.

"Can you go to my room tonight? Just for the last time..."

Hm? His words are somewhat ambiguous to me. Positive thinking, buddy!

"Okay, as long as you're not like that." Clara said unconsciously.

"Huh?" George knitted his brows, astonished.

"Have not been discussed again. Just eat your breakfast."

...❀...

Evening has arrived. Clara had prepared herself to escape Freesia. But before that he had an appointment with George to visit him last time.

Jean will come when, huh???

Clara opens George's room, and sees that George is looking at the moon in the starry night sky. Clara was stunned by her beauty, she did not realize that tonight was so beautiful.

He approached George slowly.

The young man seemed to enjoy the wind that hit his face. Clara so see the maximum good looks of this junior.

Realizing that someone was standing next to him, George turned to Clara. "It's your last day here." Mumbled.

But Clara could hear him clearly. He looked at the beautiful night sky. This reminded him of the time Clara was still living in the Wayne residence. Clara always sneaks in at night and stops doing so when she accidentally meets Rovers, a deeply traumatizing incident.

The star-studded night is so mesmerizing to the eye. Unknowingly Clara clucked in awe at the sky tonight. Somewhat unusual, because usually the night in winter is filled with cloudy clouds.

"You're not mistaken, are you? Get out of here it's not a hasty decision, is it?" George urged Clara with many questions.

"Huft... How many times do I have to say? From the very beginning my purpose in coming here was to take you, and you rejected me. Therefore, I will leave you in Freesia, this is your home and Hortensia is my home." Papar Clara's.

George threw away his gaze in annoyance, he firmly gripped his hand. It was as if Clara's departure was something that should not happen and she would not allow it.

But who was he in Clara's eyes?

There aren't. Other than the lame junior who was even reluctant to kill criminals. A coward who doesn't want to see blood. Everything is bad, nothing is good. The result is if George wants to start all over again, because the duration is up.

"Look George. From now on stop holding back all your feelings. Be yourself. No need to wear a mask because it must be exhausting. If you want to do it, then do it! If you want to take it, then take it! Nothing in this world is impossible if you try."

Clara gave George long advice as if he were the wisest. Though this sentence he took from the dialogue Hellen, and all ended with George's interest in him.

Eh? He won't be interested in me, will he? So far he's been impressed to dislike me rather than be interested in me. It just so happened that he was willing to accept me who had made him hurt. He's very heartened.

George who heard the strange sentence became aware of something. His eyes glowed even though they were dim. Without Clara noticing, George smiled faintly and loosened his grip.

"Stop holding back my feelings?" Ogre George.

"Your!" Clara who heard him nodded cheerfully. "Some of the things you want you need to say, because just code won't get you what you want."

Because of this I hate women who are kasmaran. Always give a vague code to men! Hey the eve! Not all men are sensitive to your code!

It was getting late, but they were only looking at the night sky. I never thought I would spend this much time. Clara decides to go back to her room, because Jean may have been waiting there.

Clara stretched her body and looked at George.

"Well, it's time."

DEG

With just one sentence. George's feelings become incoherent, it feels mixed.

What kind of feeling is this? I really don't want to be lonely anymore. I am very reluctant to lose him... Inner George.

As Clara turned her body, a large hand clasped her wrist. Clara looked at George strangely, this kid seemed to have taken the wrong medicine this morning at breakfast.

They were still standing in front of the window. Where when viewed from inside George's room, a star-studded night with a bright moon shining into the background.

Clara looked at George strangely. The young man's gaze was full of determination. Could it be that Clara's motivation just now had awakened this determination? No one knows.

"What's wrong with you?" Ask Clara a little heart.

George tightened his grip, but it didn't hurt Clara. "I... don't have to hold back my feelings, do I?"

"Did? Yeah..." Clara's not getting it.

SRET HUG

Arere? What - what the hell is this...?

Clara's brain becomes dead-end and cannot be used by her to think.

George pulled Clara slowly into his arms. George deliberately hid his face between Clara's strands of hair, he was too embarrassed to show it to the girl.

He wrapped his hands around Clara's slender waist. And hugged him even tighter. Of course Clara's brain is increasingly unthinkable, as if she was bewitched by a witch to become a stone statue.

"How now?" George whispered at Clara's nape, to be honest it was amused for Clara.

"Did? What's?" Clara who is not focused is instead showered with questions by George.

Samar - faintly Clara's cheeks flushed red, she blushed due to this man's embrace. The last one that could make Clara's heart pound was Meiger. Clara was grateful this time her heart was pounding not as hard as when dealing with Meiger.

Clara had no idea George's face was redder than hers. Even his heart beat faster than the girl. George probably understood this feeling a little, he was both happy and angry about it.

Happy that Clara's presence has changed her life. Angry that this girl is about to leave herself in Freesia while she returns to Hortensia.

Be present...! First Hendrick, then Your Majesty, after that I accidentally hugged Jean and now George too?!?!

"Ck! You told me not to hide what I felt. Now I'm not just holding him back, so what about you?"

Clara raised her eyebrows.

"It's normal."

George released a hug between them, he snorted furiously at Clara's insensitivity.

Well, since the influence of black magic Clara's senses are slightly dulling, it is also her sensitivity to what others are feeling. Though he can guess Hendrick's feelings for him before.

Is Freesia filled with black magic?

Clara looked curiously at the upset George.

"I'm going, George. So. good-bye." A sweet smile was imprinted on Clara's thin lips.

George was amazed with that sweet smile. Because all this time Clara just showed a silly smile and a laughable expression that she should not find in a girl. So this is a little reminiscent of her memory.

"May we meet again, Clara."

Finally George decided to talk and let go of this rioter. There was only a thin smile there, not necessarily he was fully willing.

Clara chuckled softly.

"That sounds like a miracle to me."

George was thinning his smile.

"A miracle? Well. I hope, I can get that miracle."

A beautiful memory that George will never forget. Midnight is the limit of this beautiful gathering.

Geez! This is not a story between Cinderella and prince charming!

Whatever it is, George is grateful to have been reunited with this gun girl.

...❀...

"Jean? How long have you been waiting?"

When Clara went into her room, Jean was already there. He looked at the beautiful night sky. Activities that are not much different from him and George.

"Not long."

Jean walked up to Clara, her gaze on the rioting miss was hard to decipher.

"Sweet goodbye, but we still fail."

Clara suddenly felt guilty, even though Jean had bothered to drive her here. And Meiger gave Clara permission. Unfortunately, Clara failed and betrayed their expectations.

Clara's gaze turned full of determination.

"If even a war between two regions really happens. Not that Hortensia would take defeat for granted! We are a strong territory!"

Jean smiled knot.

"Miss is very optimistic. A little different than it used to be."

"Hehe..." The embarrassed Clara scratched her nape. "Oh yeah? We just go straight. Their attackers haven't started yet, have they?"

Jean nodded.

"Not yet, but will. Everything had been neatly prepared by King Willem. Especially with the help of that guy..."

"That guy?"

"Who...! Not who - who is Miss. We need to get out of here before they launch an attack. Because there's no guarantee we'll be okay if we get caught."

"Let's run, Jean!"

Jeang nodded again.

That bloody battle is about to begin.

...❀...

With the effort to settle - a precipitate full of sweat. Finally Clara and Jean arrive at the place where Jean keeps her horse. He had only one horse, so inevitably Clara would ride with Jean.

Clara still has trouble getting on the horse, so Jean helped her ride. Then he climbed up and placed the position as the controller of his mount.

"Are you ready, Miss?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Jean spurred her horse slowly so as not to cause noise. If Jean is caught escaping from Freesia with their golden weapons, then the death penalty is the end of Meiger's bodyguard.

"Miss, put on her true robe...!" Jean rebukes Clara whose face is still clearly visible because it is not right to wear her robe.

"Okay - okay..." Clara casually confirmed her robe so that it could cover her entire face and body.

"Let's go again." Whisper Clara.

"Huft."

On the way up the horse, all Clara saw was the forest, the trees, and the roots that appeared on the ground. For a few minutes there was silence between the two of them. Clara was a bit awkward because she had not met Jean for a long time, so Clara became calm instantly.

But a familiar sight made the pupils of Clara's eyes grow. He pulled Jean's robe and asked her to stop the horse. Jean resigned only when Clara began to semena again.

How can Hendrick and Meiger endure long periods with this girl?

Clara got off the horse, almost Jean squealing because of her actions.

"Miss...! What is Miss doing?!" Jean whispered half a whisper.

However, Jean's question was ignored by Clara. He focused more on the scenery inside the forest, where it was a good distance away from Clara and Jean's hiding position.

What they saw was a small group of troops discussing their plans for the attack tonight. But that's not what made Clara leave Jean so cruelly.

Someone he knew was among the crowd.

His face looked gloomy, he was the only one who did not discuss with the other soldiers there. He just held his sword while staring blankly down. His mind drifted far away somewhere.

"George...!" Clara shrieked softly.

Right enough. That man was George. His junior in being a weapon aka a killing machine. Clara clutched her dress tightly, not knowing that George would be taking part in the assault while she was not.

Isn't Clara the most skilled at killing among them?

King Willem should have asked himself not to be George. Clara thought that King Willem was so obsessed with making her his bastard child just like him. George who hesitated to kill was forced to do so.

It made Clara growl.

Is that the father's love for his son? How shiny... Now I'm starting to realize that the Wayne family is a happy family. Even now they have accepted me with pleasure.

"We're going to re-run a failed mission, Jean." Clara Mumbled.

Sontak Jean is shocked by Clara's decision. Just because she saw George being forced to kill, this girl plunged herself into a deep abyss.

"Miss.. which is true -"

"There is no rejection. Let's do the kidnapping that became our main mission when we went to Freesia. We really can't let George be their weapon. Never, ever, ever!"

Such a strong determination.

Perhaps the miracle that Clara had talked about before would happen now. George's hope that the miracle had come had been fulfilled.

Now, the countdown before the destruction had begun.

Who has the luck to stay alive?
