1. "Miss claire, you will..."
2. "Denounce those of the bygone era, and stand against them."
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
2. Don't let go of this hand.
4. In the year 2015 of the kingdom's history, on the 11th day of the 11th month...
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. "Rae!"
2. "How could you ask such a thing of me?!"
3. "I must follow my father and my people to the end!"
4. "For the sake of this country's future,"
5. "I am a noble!"
6. "About that..."
7. "To turn a blind eye to my duty for the sake of my own survival is just...!"
1. "This is what master dole wishes to see happen."
2. "............ ...what?"
1. The royal government has shown itself to be rotten before.
2. As you, Miss Claire, are surely aware,
3. The nobles let their greed run rampant,
4. and spend their days embroiled in struggles over power.
5. Among them, Master Dole, same as his compatriots,
6. lived without doubts over the present state of affairs among the nobility.
7. until that night, that is.
1. "Melia..."
2. "MELIA...!"
3. That day, Master Dole and Melia had been invited over
4. for an informal meeting at the residences of a rivalling noble.
5. This meeting, perfectly ordinary on the surface,
6. was actually a trap set to lure both him and Melia out.
1. In that instant, Master Dole realized:
2. This was no ordinary carriage attack.
3. It was an assassination,
4. orchestrated by a rivalling noble.
1. "I-"
2. "Impossible..."
3. From that day forth, master dole decided to change.
4. He turned his back on the nobility, embroiled in their struggles over power,
5. And decided to plan a new path forward for the country.
1. To do this, he continued to play the part of a corrupt noble,
2. while lending his support to the Resistance from the shadows.
3. He led this country towards its revolution.
4. "ALL OF THAT WAS IN SERVICE OF TODAY,"
1. The day that all of the nobility could be brought to an end...
1. "Miss claire!"
2. So everything that happened was by father's design?
3. "...I wouldn't say everything."
1. "Master dole loves you, miss claire."
2. "Even so, he was prepared to sacrifice even you if it meant he could bring about a revolution."
3. "Without another path forward, he had given up on saving the country any other way."
4. "But I"
5. "Offered him another choice."
1. What if, after the nobility fell,
2. You separated yourself from the bygone era of the nobles,
3. Became a figure of renown,
4. And found a way to live in the new era to come...?
1. "Deceiving me from the beginning?"
2. "You've been"
3. "And in order to see this through,"
4. "...yes."
1. "I've already arranged it with arla."
2. "Miss claire, you need to join the revolutionary government now."
3. "How selfish"
4. "Both you"
5. "And father are."
1. "...HEY, RAE?"
2. "I-IN THE BEGINNING, THERE MIGHT BE A LOT THAT'S CONFUSING,"
3. "W-WELL..."
4. "but I'm sure that you'll figure it all out!"
5. "IF I BECAME A COMMONER, WHAT SORT OF LIFE WOULD I LEAD?"
1. "I'll work my heart out for you!"
2. "Of course!"
3. "So you'll get the hang of everything pretty fast!"
4. "I'll be there to help take care of you,"
5. "You'll be there by my side, won't you?"
6. "Yes..."
7. "And then we..."
8. "We'll get a dog!"
9. "I'd prefer a cat."
1. ...what?
2. "I won't go along with your plan. I will join my father in his fate."
3. "I refuse."
1. "Wha..."
2. "IS IT NOT?"
3. "God, that's not a choice that you hav-"
4. "Miss Claire, what are you saying?!"
5. "AS A MEMBER OF THE NOBILITY."
6. "I CAN CHOOSE TO FALL WITH THE OLD ERA AND MY PEERS"
7. "not..."
8. "That's..."
1. "Rae."
2. "That wouldn't make anyone happy!"
3. "That's pointless!"
4. "We're permitted such extravagant living in exchange for our acquittal of duties."
5. "I must carry out my obligations in times of emergency."
6. "However, as a member of the nobility,"
7. "I understand that you and father"
8. "Are truly concerned over my wellbeing."
9. "God!"
10. "Why do you think me and master dole did all this?!"
11. "Enough of that!"
1. "For I take pride"
2. "In being a noble."
3. "Even if the riot was instigated as part of a conspiracy led by the revolutionary government,"
4. "As I was born as a noble,"
5. "I must fulfill my final obligations."
6. "The people have made their choice."
7. "And if I must, I shall..."
1. "PLAY THE PART OF THE VILLAINESS."
1. "You promised! that you won't give up until the very end!"
2. "No... No, Miss Claire!"
3. "I'M SORRY, RAE."
4. "I OFFER YOU THIS."
5. "TO APOLOGIZE FOR BREAKING OUR PROMISE,"
1. "RAE."
2. "GOODBYE FOREVER."
3. To be continued.
1. Fuck, man. Aonoshimo, you can't do this to us
2. At least she had the goodwill not to make this the final chapter of one of her sets of 5, which would've left us on a cliffhanger for two whole months... We'll be back next month with chapter 59. Where more tears are sure to follow.
3. Merry christmas. Try not to endlessly sob for the the rest of December.
4. Side note, I hope y'all appreciate the same-day TL! Doing these without compromising on quality is a hell of an ask, but we wanted to minimize spoilers and minimize the wait for the bigger fans. Sorry if you got spoiled on Bluesky anyway-!
