Chapter 149.1
Girls Sinking in Darkness Part 3
“Hilda…”
In the empty, dark room, Clara muttered the name of the attendant working for her and looked up at the night sky outside the window.
It was an accident that Hilda had been saved. Not that it could have been anyone else, but still, her background and situation were just right for Clara.
Having been forced to take a back seat because of her failure to investigate the “Heroine,” the Melrose young lady, Clara set out to create her own network of information, one that would not rely on the dark side. It was then that she found Hilda. Although it was true that Clara felt sympathy for Hilda’s situation, she felt that she could use her as a pawn, and she got a little too involved with her “pawn”.
Clara’s previous ethical view influenced her in this area. Hilda became Clara’s ally by not being ruthless enough and showing her weakness, but she could no longer be a disposable pawn.
Although it was not her intention, Clara’s “weakness” made Hilda willing to risk her life for her. However, Clara, who had already started to care about Hilda, was pained by this reality.
Hilda and Clara’s followers risked their lives because Clara was weak, but Clara was “too scared” to stop them.
She was afraid of the Heroine, who would take something precious from her.
She was afraid of the girl with peach-blonde hair, who looked at her coldly.
