The Antagonist: The World Ends Theory
Chapter 77 - Southern Region

After a debate at that time, they decided to go to Vinca first. All so that the treatment received on Clara is better. It could have been them to Hortensia, but it would have been different if Meiger knew the worst injured was Clara.

There will be no more roads.

Clara was placed in the guest room. It's the third morning since their escape from Freesia. George and Jean were waiting for Edmond's arrival in the dining room.

"I know Mr. George is worried about Miss. But at least Mr. George shouldn't forget to eat, Miss won't be happy with this." Jean placed a loaf of bread on George's empty plate.

George did not react, he remained silent. But he took the bread and ate it slowly.

Maybe he feels guilty for Clara's injury. Jean can heal Clara, only she lacks the source of magic. I don't know, like Vinca is a territory clean of black magic.

Surprisingly, his heir was instead eleven twelve with a black demon.

Edmond came with someone behind him. The way of the road is excessive, should an heir to the throne be like himself?

Jean was shocked when the person behind Edmond was the Hortensian emperor.

"Greetings to Emperor Hortensia."

George himself was still unmoved. He did not pay attention to the surroundings, as if deep in his own mind. No problem either. Because Meiger is not an honorary mad emperor.

Meiger pulls up the chair in front of George and occupies it. It seemed that George was only focused on his thoughts, but the blank look in his eyes did not spell out anything.

"When did he become like this?" Ask Meiger.

"Since the Freesia attack failed, Your Majesty. Or maybe it was just after Miss got hurt and she awakened some kind of mysterious power. It's like from... black magic?"

Meiger. Then, he calmly picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.

Edmond sat next to Meiger without permission from his owner. Jean herself still knows manners, so she doesn't sit back. He chose to stand next to George a little backward.

"You know what, Meiger? King Willem said that Clara was sent directly by Ranunculus to kidnap this young man. Though this is all wrong Hortensia, even the one affected by Ranunculus. Too bad they're ckckck!" Edmond chirps, break the silence.

That is true.

Days after Edmond's return from Hortensia. The man apparently had an appointment with King Willem of Freesia. They will do a plan of cooperation, of course this is beneficial for both. Therefore, King Vinca or Edmond's father, sent Edmond himself to Freesia.

What they discussed was not far from the political problems of Ranunculus and Freesia. Ranunculus himself had caused many losses to Freesia because of their actions, so Freesia was so vengeful to the region.

Eventually, Vinca decides to give Freesia some help when Ranunculus and Agapanthus begin their assault.

And in the Herbras continent there is one more area that is still neutral. Only Hortensia, the Western region is very indifferent to the gripping conditions of its neighbors.

Worse, Vinca instead began his coalition with Freesia.

After this, their combat abilities became balanced.

Meiger thinks it is balanced because Agapanthus is not a weak region. Their combat abilities were extremely outstanding Even Vinca himself whose territory was wider was even weaker than theirs.

The reason why Meiger called Vinca weaker was... Vinca all this time only knows how to defend, they are blind in attacking. Even in the war hundreds of years ago they were not so prominent or feared by other groups, lucky they got a land so vast as Vinca.

King Willem too, although from the outside looks like an acute vindictive. His eyes could still clearly see how Vinca was. So King Willem cooperated with Vinca just to strengthen their defense.

Back to the topic.

Edmond comes to Freesia after getting word that nineteen elite soldiers in his possession were killed, and George (his illegitimate son) is taken away by Clara.

King Willem who was blinded by anger immediately blamed Ranunculus. They think that Ranunculus deliberately made Clara come here and kidnap George so that Freesia would have no more weapons.

This is an old story repeated.

"Goat blackened Ranunculus, what's wrong?" Meiger raised next to his eyebrows, posing inquiring.

"God! They are so fucking! Damaged by a neutral region such as Hortensia. Even the Hortensian Emperor as the leader was unwilling to straighten out this matter." Edmond Cibir.

NADA

Meiger put his tea cup back on the table, "I just don't want to make things runnier."

"Truely so..." Edmond grimaced softly.

"Jean?"

"Is there something, Your Majesty?"

"How's Clara?"

"Miss is fine. It's just that it took a while for Miss to wake up. But take it easy, Your Majesty, Miss's wounds have completely recovered." Jean answered him with a cold sweat, but they came here to avoid the Emperor.

Too bad everything didn't fit the scenario.

What if the emperor executed George instead for injuring his antiques?

Jean's alert for an explosion.

"Ooh..."

But it was not an explosion that he got. Except just 'ouh. Looks like Meiger's still in sadistic mode until she doesn't care about Clara's condition.

It's all confusing to me.

...❀...

In a luxurious room, Clara lay beautifully. Just this time he fell asleep in a position like the noble girls. Usually Clara sleep will be misuh there - here if the body has not been getting comfort.

Without anyone's help, Clara managed to sit down.

Hm... Claire, you finished it, right? I don't want to hear if George gets hurt!

[Heh! The master was too worried about him. Even without my help, he was able to slaughter those 8 elite soldiers.]

You mean you didn't come out and take over my consciousness?

[It's not necessary. After all because of Master's injury, the man seemed to be triggered to do something. Special conditions are special, not like us but rather similar.]

He slaughtered them all?! Everything was?! Don't joke Claire. He was even frightened when he saw the stumped head. The hell just overnight suddenly became an expert killer...?

Clara scratched her head. He did not expect the ending to carry this. Claire does not take over her consciousness, and George is suddenly able to kill. Even he slaughtered all eight of them easily.

[If Master doesn't believe it's Master's right. But what Master needs to remember is, now George has become a weapon entirely because of Master.]

How is it because of me anyway?

[Master himself triggered it in self-defense. So be a murderer.]

Their conversation stopped there. Clara was busy thinking about how George could be an impromptu slaughterer. This doesn't sound like George.

What kind of scam is this?

Hearing Claire's statement. He felt guilty for George. George's life is complicated now, and it's all because of him.

"I have to see George."

Clara immediately got up from her bed. It doesn't matter if he's still in his pajamas. He walked here and there, but he realized that this place was not in Hortensia.

"theree? Where'sisthis? And where am I...?"

"Argh! So bad!" Clara cursed shit.

Luckily, a female servant passed by. He immediately pulled the waiter over and inquired about where George was at the moment. The servant answered him and pointed the way to Clara who was blind on this map of the palace.

"Thank you."

Clara rushed over to the direction the waiter pointed out. And there, he found the dining room. Where there are some people he knows. And the man sitting behind her with a silver mane.

"That's George."

Clara hurriedly approached George. He did not care if the other three men there looked at him strangely. Clara really had a lot of trouble for George. This is a good time to apologize.

"George?"

"Miss..." Lirih Jean's.

George did not respond, he did not flinch even though Clara called his name or shook his body because it was upset George did not react.

"What if you hug her?"

Edmond casually gave an absurd suggestion. He even gets a sharp look from Meiger and Jean due to his misleading absurd remarks.

Edmond's eyes widened. He smiled meaningfully. Now he understood what had happened to the four people who were in drama before him.

Edmond looked at Clara interested.

This girl wants to create a harem or something?

Clara, who had heard Edmond's advice, had been willing to protest but in retrospect, thought again that was not the wrong advice. Maybe if he tried it once, George would respond.

Clara opened her arms wide, wrapped around George's neck. Clara's chin rested on George's head, this was really a scene that Edmond was waiting for.

He giggles at the reaction of Meiger and Jean.

Meiger looked at them coldly and gave off a sinister black aura, if jealousy were to say so.

On the other hand, Jean was the same. He even stared in disdain as if George was a lowly being.

"Huh?"

George was awakened, he felt a heavy burden being carried by his head and neck. Then she saw that Clara was in a position to hold her. Honestly, he's happy. But not with the two people staring at him. That's why George needs to put an end to this hug.

"Clara, you shouldn't have hugged me." George Mumbled.

After confirming that George had been 100% sober. Clara let go of his embrace, she sat down beside George quickly. His eyes were still fixedly staring at the young man whom Claire said had become this full-fledged weapon.

"Sorry." The word spontaneously came out of Clara's lips.

Meiger's gaze softened. The scene in front of him had changed. He's not gonna take care of what's going on right now, 'cause it's both of them. Being a weapon is complicated and very risky. Not interfering is his choice now.

Meiger stood up and looked at Jean, they had to get out of this place. Or things won't go smoothly for them. The guns have a conversation that no one else will understand. Jean had to leave these two men alone.

Seeing Meiger and Jean leave the room, stay away from the two guns. Edmond understood completely, they needed space to talk. So Edmond soon caught up with Meiger and Jean who were some distance away.

Those guns, they have their own secrets.
