Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival-Chapter 203.5

Normally, it would be the mother, the second queen, who would make the selection, but it appears that the other side has no intention of doing so.

In such a situation, being away from her only friend, even for a few days, must have brought out her inner fatigue.

Even in such a state, the ostensibly perfect Elena poses as a perfect princess and successfully finishes speaking with the school officials who have come to interview her for the reopening of the school and the graduation party.

With no more interviews today, Elena and Sera walk down the corridor with a faint smile on their faces, knowing that they can now rest a little, when they notice a familiar face approaching from the other side.

“Oh, Clara, it’s been a while.”

“…Elena-sama, glad to see you back safe and sound.”

The person in question was Clara Dandol, Elena’s cousin and the Crown Prince’s first fiancée. The reason she did not immediately show her face at her cousin’s return was probably because the rift between the two had not yet been filled.

(Even so… my impression of her has changed a lot.)

Sera was alarmed, mixed with admiration, by Clara’s noble face, which she had not seen in a long time.

Perhaps it was because she gained the [Gift] in the dungeon, but Clara seemed to have lost the spoiled, victim-like attitude she used to have. However, it was not because she had grown up, but because she seemed to be moving only with vindictive passions.

I would appreciate it if Clara could find a “healing” in her heart like Aria did in Elena, but since her fiancé, who was supposed to be her healer, was devoted to another woman, Clara’s mental state was even more severe than Elena’s.

Sera was more concerned about the four maidens she had with her, and perhaps noticing Sera’s gaze, Clara’s eyes narrow slightly and she opens her mouth.

“These will be the new [escort maidens] I have hired in the north. They will be of great help to me.”

“That’s brave of you.”

The maidservants bowed their heads in silence as Clara introduced them, and Elena responded with a few thorny words at the sight of them and Clara’s mannerisms.

Clara mentioned [escort maidens] in the presence of people, albeit not officially. Of course, she was not from the dark side, but she was probably the same as Sera and Aria. By saying this, it was as if he was openly declaring that he might use his power in some cases.

Elena also noticed Clara’s state of mind and nailed her for her words and actions, but with that one word, the signs emanating from Clara’s maidens became stronger, and in response, Sera stepped forward as if to protect Elena.

Perhaps their emotions came out strongly, partly due to their loyalty to their master. However, Elena and Sera felt that it was not them but others who were responsible for their feelings.

Aria…even if she was not there, her presence has a great impact on those who live behind the scenes.

And Elena was curious about the eyes of one of the attendants, eyes that seemed to burn with hatred, which were visible through her bangs, which were so long that they obscured her expression.

Both Elena and Clara involuntarily fell silent at such a delicate atmosphere. Then, a cheerful voice that did not read the atmosphere called out to them.

“Oh, what are you doing?”

But…contrary to the sound of the voice, the smell of “death” that wafted from the air made Clara’s attendants brace themselves.

Her black hair was gently wavy and lustreless.

Only the purple eyes, with dark shadows on her morbidly white skin, were shining brightly as she gazed at Elena and Clara.

“Carla…”
