Avoid Yandere Constellation

Following Lise, I slowly opened my mouth.

“Lise, you did a good job yesterday.”

“Yes, Sir. You did too.”

“By the way, what happened to Vilg?”

“He’s currently locked up in the family’s prison.”

As expected, Lise had told David von Thomas, the head of the family, about what happened yesterday.

Even if the people in the family, including Thomas, didn’t believe my words, they wouldn’t ignore Lise, who was like a senior to me.

Thomas is calling me here to ask about exactly what happened yesterday, and my fate will be decided based on that.

Please, don’t kick me out.

With this desperate prayer in mind, I followed Lise, and before I knew it, we had arrived at the head of the family’s room.

Lise bowed slightly, indicating that her task was complete, and said in an expressionless tone,

“Sir, you may enter.”

“Yes. Thank you for guiding me.”

“Yes…”

At my words, Lise made a complicated expression.

She still seemed uncomfortable with my actions, as she couldn’t hide her expression.

I ignored her reaction and knocked on the door of the head of the family’s room.

-Knock! Knock! Knock!

“It’s David von Kaine. Father, I’m coming in.”

“Yes, come in.”

A deep voice responded to my words.

I slowly opened the door after hearing Thomas’s response.

-Creak!

The head of the family’s room was filled with documents on the desk, just like the office I worked in my previous life. In front of the desk were two luxurious sofas and a table.

I entered the room and turned my gaze to Thomas.

He had black hair, a scruffy-looking beard, and a somewhat masculine face. Despite being covered by clothes, his muscles were visible.

He was a middle-aged man who had obviously worked out.

Thomas was also wearing a sword on his waist, probably as a precaution against any unexpected situations.

But… He doesn’t look much like Kaine.

Of course, the Kaine I possessed wasn’t ugly. In fact, he was almost perfect, with a handsome appearance and thick hair, except for his slightly squinted eyes.

To be honest, he was far better-looking than my original appearance. Even his hair was thick… Damn, I suddenly feel pathetic.

For some reason, I felt miserable, and my hand naturally went to the top of my head.

-Swoosh.

Feeling happy about the thick hair, I stroked it, and Thomas looked at me with a puzzled expression.

“Do you have something on your head?”

“No, I don’t.”

Thomas looked me up and down and opened his mouth.

“Well, to be blunt, I heard that the guild you created collapsed.”

“Yes.”

As expected, he started with this.

In this situation, I needed to act as much as possible.

I bowed my head with a devastated expression at Thomas’s cold voice.

As expected, Thomas looked a little surprised.

This is one good thing about being a good-for-nothing.

Even though I was just acting naturally, people tended to see it differently.

That’s why image is important.

If I had possessed someone with a good image instead of a good-for-nothing, he wouldn’t have shown such a reaction.

To be honest, it’s only natural to show remorse for one’s wrongdoings. Who would show such a reaction?

I wondered what the original Kaine would have done.

I pretended to be remorseful and thought to myself that the original Kaine would have made all sorts of excuses and acted shamelessly.

Well, it’s not my problem now.

“Well… You’re showing a remorseful attitude, unlike usual. But apart from that, I was originally going to kick you out of the family.”

Thomas continued,

“But… Lise told me that you caught the spy planted by the Cult. Is that true?”

“Yes, it is.”

“Yes. But Lise tends to take your side, so I can’t believe it without evidence. So, bring me the evidence.”

As soon as he finished speaking, I took out the bug from my pocket.

Thomas looked at me with a questioning gaze.

“Isn’t that a bug?”

“Yes, it is.”

“How can you use that as evidence?”

At his question, I explained what happened yesterday in detail.

“So, it’s recorded on that.”

“Yes, I’ll play it right now.”

I pressed the button next to the bug.

-Hahaha! Yes, that expression. That’s what I wanted to see. The expression of frustration. Noblemen always think they won’t be assassinated. Why did you do something that would get you noticed by the Cult? If you had just kept quiet, you would have been fine.

Vilg’s excited voice could be heard from the bug.

It was well-recorded, just as I had confirmed yesterday.

In fact, yesterday, I had put the bug in the clone’s pocket. I had a hunch that Vilg would talk nonsense when he thought he had killed me.

Of course, I didn’t think there was a 100% chance that he would say those things.

To be honest, I was confident about catching Vilg, but the recording was more of a gamble.

Based on Vilg’s setting, I expected him to say those things, but there’s no such thing as a guarantee in this world.

Thomas looked a little surprised as he listened to the recording from the bug.

“Well… Lise was telling the truth. But how did you find out that Vilg was a spy?”

I knew he would ask this question, and I had already prepared an excuse after listening to the recording yesterday.

I lied without even wetting my lips.

“Yes, I didn’t actually think Vilg was a spy. I just thought those Cult guys would target me.”

“Yes, I heard from the recording that they targeted you. What happened?”

I nodded and answered his question.

“They approached me with a proposal to exchange one piece of information.”

“What information did they want?”

“It wasn’t something big; they wanted information about Kim Soo-yong.”

[The goddess who sees destiny is asking what you’re talking about!]

No, why are you falling for it?

Amused by the fact that even the constellations were being deceived, I continued.

“The information I requested was only one thing: information about the spy in the family. Of course, they only told me that there was one without revealing their identity.”

“I see… But what did they ask about Kim Soo-yong?”

“They asked if Kim Soo-yong was an Otherworlder.”

“What did you tell them?”

“I…”

.

.

.

“As Lise said, you’ve definitely changed.”

At first, I didn’t believe Lise’s words.

Until now, Kaine had shown nothing but drinking, throwing things, and spending money recklessly.

He wasn’t even as talented as his other siblings.

Kaine had only disappointed Thomas and the rest of the David family with his actions.

So, I thought that Lise, who was particularly fond of Kaine, was making excuses for him. But that wasn’t the case.

Kaine, who would normally be defiant and shameless, showed a completely opposite attitude today.

Thomas closed his eyes and recalled what had just happened.

‘I said He wasn’t.’

‘I see. But why did you answer like that?’

‘There’s a reason. Kim Soo-yong isn’t some random dog on the street, and to be honest, that kind of thing only happens in novels. So I just said no and cursed at them.’

The Cult guys would have no one to exchange information with except Kaine, a student at the academy, like Kim Soo-yong.

That’s because Kaine is almost the only one at the academy who is connected to the underworld.

He shrugged his shoulders and continued,

‘Anyway, I thought that since the Cult guys would target me for the information, I could use this opportunity to catch the spy. After all, a spy in the family is the perfect opportunity for an assassination.’

After hearing the whole explanation, Thomas nodded in understanding.

‘Well… I understand. Considering your recent merit, I won’t kick you out of the family. However, I will cut off your allowance and material support.’

‘Yes, I understand, Father.’

‘I hope to hear good news from you again. You may leave now.’

After finishing his recollection, Thomas couldn’t help but admire Kaine’s cunning.

How many moves ahead did he see?

Everyone in the family, including himself, tried to find the spy, but to no avail.

But Kaine caught the spy by using ambiguous information exchange.

…What happened to Kaine while he was attacked by Kim Soo-yong yesterday?

According to Lise, he changed after a short absence.

No, let’s not jump to conclusions yet.

There can be a stroke of luck in life.

Although the outcome was too big for a stroke of luck, given Kaine’s past actions, it’s too early to conclude that he has changed just from this one incident.

“Well, we’ll find out later if it’s luck or not.”

With that, Thomas picked up his pen and continued working on the documents.

.

.

.

At that moment, the Goddess of Fate narrowed her eyes as she looked at Kaine on the screen.

Once again… He escaped the fate of death.

This confirmed that Kaine’s escape from death wasn’t a coincidence the first time he faced Kim Soo-yong.

He escaped by his own will.

Once can be a coincidence, but twice is fate.

Thinking about this, a smile formed on her lips.

But how did he escape fate?

This may sound like boasting, but until now, her prediction of fate has never been wrong.

She closed her eyes and thought about Kaine’s actions.

After 10 minutes of deep thought, a light bulb appeared on the Constellation’s forehead.

Ah! Could it be?

The Constellation recalled Kaine’s actions from yesterday. From asking about Vilg’s identity to seeing through his abilities and even predicting his actions.

…Could he see the future?

If so, it makes sense.

If he could see the future, it would explain how he was able to subdue Vilg so easily.

But…

That’s impossible.

Even the Constellations, who are transcendent beings, can’t see the future like Kaine.

That’s why she can only see people’s fates.

No, wait… Didn’t he also have the power to create things?

What is his identity?

No matter how much she thought about it, it was strange. When Kim Soo-yong was attending the academy, she had briefly seen Kaine.

At that time, he was undeniably incompetent. He didn’t have any special abilities, and his behavior was different from now.

He lacked integrity, and there was no sign of effort.

Maybe I didn’t look closely enough at the time?

To be honest, she had only glanced at Kaine, not examined or investigated him closely.

So, the behavior he showed at that time shouldn’t be taken as his true nature.

Yes, let’s not jump to conclusions.

With that thought, she looked at Kaine on the screen.

He was rolling around on the bed with a bright smile, for some reason.

As he rolled around without thinking, he eventually fell off the bed.

-Thud!

He fell off the bed and held his head in pain.

The Constellation shook her head.

[The Goddess of Fate says you’re pathetic.]

Will this do?

The Constellation sent a message to Kaine without realizing that her heart was beating faster than usual.
