The Antagonist: The World Ends Theory

Chapter 39 - The Role of Cheltics II

The roar turned its attention to the rainstorm outside the cave. His view was so empty and empty. His thoughts began to gnaw on him inside out.

"Is there anything weighing you down?"

"It's none of your business."

"Ck! I'm just asking."

The saw glanced at Clara, "What would you choose if faced with two choices. Something you want or need?"

"Hum?"

Clara chewed on her radish, and after being swallowed she answered the question of the Goat.

"The answer of course is 'depending'. Basically such a question has no definite answer. At least you have to look at the choice itself from both different sides, then you can answer it firmly after that."

A stunned roar after Clara's long sentence, "I thought you were just an important person's killer and a mere fugitive."

"It hurts to me to be slandered like that."

"So, after this rainstorm has subsided, will you catch me?" Connect Clara.

"Either, you've saved my life this once. Although from the outside I look cruel but I still have the heart to return."

"Save your life? I'm just doing what Avrim says and warming you."

"Can you not repeat the word 'warm' many times?! It's embarrassing to hear." Ketus Rage, he clicked slowly after the protest just now.

"Ah, alright... The point is you'll let me go so?"

"Yeah, but only this once. Remember that other days you won't be so lucky."

"okay."

"And do you still hold a grudge because I hurt Avrim?"

"Hjp? Not particularly. After hearing the fact that Avrim could heal herself very quickly. I'm not so angry with you anymore..."

"Oh..."

And about 30 minutes passed, the rainstorm stopped. Clara awakens Avrim to resume their journey to Hortensia.

"What will you do after this?"

Clara as usual riding a horse with Avrim. And he still hadn't finished his enormous roasted radish.

"Maybe go to Agapanthus."

"For what...?"

"It's none of your business, see you later."

"Yes, I'll see you later and thank you for letting me escape. Maybe you'll get in trouble after this so I'll also apologize."

"Here you go, I'll just go visit the man and ask for his explanation. Oh yeah, I was late to ask but...what's your name?"

"Clara Scoleths, what about you?"

"Gelts Cheltics."

Their horses were each walking and in opposite directions. But Clara was still thinking about the name of the noble man.

"Isn't the Cheltics the Count's in this Ranunculus...?"

...****...

The saw kept pushing his horse through the white territory. When he had reached the main border, someone who was expected by him was there.

"I thought you'd take her home, how could you come here alone? Where's Clara Scoleths?"

"Rovers' though? How long have you been waiting for me?"

"Very long, it seems that the result of the rainstorm your journey was somewhat hampered.. So, you decided not to catch him...?"

The ghost shook.

"What's wrong?"

"Your disease relapsed?"

"Well...so, what - what the hell is that? You helped him escape, didn't you? You're worse than me, I'm sure you can't save yourself after you get back to the palace."

"Aren't you a little overdone? I have no problem with that, he is the only friend of my fiance. What's wrong with helping her escape? He's not necessarily the culprit."

"It's weird when a granddaughter helps her grandfather's killer escape."

"However, you don't fully believe it, do you?" Chirp Rovers, he stared at the more intense Rovers.

"Where can you conclude that...?"

"You let go easily, but you know that your illness isn't that severe enough to make you die. But you're so easy to let go of your original target. I admit you initially targeted Clara Scoleths, it worried me that my efforts would fail. But things changed drastically after the rainstorm subsided or rather after you spent time with her."

Rovers smiled meaningfully at the Rovers. "Have you found your life's answer? Someone has answered it, and is that Clara Scoleths?"

The saw was silent.

"So have you decided?"

The roar muttered, "As you expected. I'm thinking of accepting my destiny and becoming an advisor to the future Rajunculus kingdom."

Rovers smiled knot.

"That means you do need to make a visit to Agapanthus."

...****...

"Avrim, it looks like the wounds on my hands and shoulders are gradually getting better. Is it because of you?"

Clara touched her right shoulder and left hand that could be moved more freely. It was less than two hours before he got his wound.

"Yes Miss, it's my apology for not helping Miss and Duke Wayne back then."

"Oh my God, Avrim, I told you to leave anyway. You don't have to feel guilty, it's normal to get hurt after a fight."

"Miss..."

Avrim stops his horse and lowers Clara on the border between the western region and the dead city. Then Avrim calls a horse-driver whom Clara thought had been prepared from the beginning to pick Clara up.

"Miss, come in."

"Ah, okay."

At Avrim's direction, Clara immediately entered the chariot. But when he reached out to Avrim. Avrim didn't accept it.

"Avrim, what's wrong?"

"There's one more task I have to complete, miss. It has to be resolved right now. Take it easy Miss, I'll be back as soon as I can once the task is done."

"Well, I'll wait for you."

"One more Miss. Miss will meet with Emperor Hortensia when she reaches the Western region. So, please take care of Miss's attitude, if the Emperor knows Miss has this behavior. It will definitely..."

Avrim continued her sentence by whispering it to Clara. Suddenly Clara's entire body shuddered in horror after hearing what Avrim said.

"Don't worry, Avrim. Things like that will never happen in my life."

Although Clara said it firmly, Clara's current expression made the statement just now so unconvincing.

"Then, wait for me to come back, Miss."

"Of course!"

Then, the horse carriage moved forward into the western region. Clara could only wave her hands high - high at Avrim and shout between the silence of the night.

"I will definitely wait for you to come home, Avrim!"
