Avoid Yandere Constellation

Upon arriving at the mansion, I turned to Kage.

“Then, you show her to the spare room, Kage.”

“Yes, Master! I’ll do it!”

“Thank you, Kaine-nim.”

“It’s nothing. Kage’s friend is also my friend.”

If she was really a friend.

I smiled and nodded, and Kage nodded her head three times in agreement.

“Yes, of course.”

“Then I’ll go and take care of some business.”

I gave her a serious command in a cold voice…

“First, go to Lien and tell her to wear this. Then, try to keep an eye on Ivrin without being noticed… or rather, just act as you usually do.”

“Yes, I understand. But may I ask why?”

“…”

It was understandable that she was curious.

From Lise’s perspective, I must have acted impulsively.

I sighed deeply and explained…

“I’m suspicious because it feels too strange. As far as I know, all the beastkin except Kage were exterminated. I investigated this before hearing it from Kage. But now, not only has Ivrin suddenly appeared, but she also coincidentally met Kage? No matter how I think about it, it’s suspicious.”

“I see…”

In fact, I knew this information from the game.

“Yes, it does seem suspicious when you put it that way.”

Lise nodded in agreement with my plausible excuse.

Then, she bowed and left the room.

As soon as she left, I sighed deeply.

I wanted to ask her to keep an eye on Ivrin, but…

‘She’s a cult branch leader.’

Even if Lise was an excellent assassin, there was no guarantee that she wouldn’t be noticed by a cult sub-branch leader.

So…

‘It’s better if I do it myself. But first…’

I looked up.

“Constellation.”

“The goddess of Fate asks if she has to pretend to be Andrew again.”

This brat. Did she expect it?

She had previously said that she didn’t want to do it even if she died, but now she was drinking the kool-aid before I even asked.

On the surface, she seemed reluctant, but in reality, her message conveyed her desire to do it.

I shook my head at her question, feeling exasperated.

“It’s not that. It’s not about that.”

[The goddess of Fate asks what you want her to do.]

“Ah, just keep an eye on Kage for me. The person she brought today seems to be a cult branch leader.”

[The goddess of Fate thinks you’re so cool and sexy for taking pre-emptive measures like this. I love you so much…]

I wrote a long message to get rid of the constellation’s message.

Then, I used transformation and map vision to secretly follow Ivrin and Kage.

I put on the communication ring that I hadn’t used since the Lise incident.

.

.

.

Ivrin followed behind Kage, feeling surprised by the unexpected turn of events.

‘This is unexpected…’

In fact, the cult sub-branch leader John had ordered her to enter the estate and check the level of security in the east, west, south, and north.

But now, not only had she coincidentally met Kage, but she had also entered the main base.

‘I’ll pretend to get along with her and report later.’

There was no reason to be suspicious, of course.

‘But it’s better to be careful.’

After all, this was the enemy’s territory.

So, everyone around them was an enemy.

As Ivrin followed Kage, they finally arrived at their destination.

Kage opened the door and introduced the room like a real estate agent.

“You can use this room. It’s smaller than the master’s room, but it’s much better than a hotel room!”

Indeed, the room in front of them was so spacious and clean that it would be unfair to compare it to a hotel room.

Not only that…

‘The quality of the items is excellent. As expected of the David family.’

The cult had targeted the David family first because they were currently the most influential.

‘If the David family is destroyed, the morale of the continent will definitely decline.’

So, Andrew had chosen this place.

He even sent a valuable sub-branch leader.

At that moment…

“Ivrin, do you like it?”

Kage looked dejected, probably because she was too deep in thought.

Ivrin shook her head without hesitation.

“No, I was just thinking that it’s better than I expected.”

“Oh, good! I thought you didn’t like it. Hehehe.”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Kage sighed in relief, smiling foolishly.

Ivrin, seeing Kage’s reaction, cursed in her mind…

‘Damn it.’

Then, Ivrin smiled kindly and asked…

“Kage, I need to unpack my luggage. Can you give me some time alone?”

“Huh? Oh, can’t I help you?”

Kage looked surprised at Ivrin’s request, but then she nodded firmly.

“No, it’s fine. I’m already grateful that you showed me the room. I’ll call you when I’m done unpacking. Please come then.”

“Yes, I understand!”

Kage left the room, and…

“Tsk!”

Ivrin furrowed her brows and clicked her tongue.

‘Every time I see a beastkin’s ears and tail, I get annoyed.’

The reason Ivrin betrayed the beastkin was because of their unique laws and way of thinking.

The beastkin’s law was based on survival of the fittest.

They were lenient towards the strong but ruthless towards the weak.

Ivrin’s parents were among the weak.

They were the weakest of the weak.

So, Ivrin was constantly discriminated against.

It wasn’t just that they ignored her.

Sometimes, they crossed the line.

For example, they threw stones at her.

Although it wasn’t a big deal to the beastkin, it was enough to threaten Ivrin’s weak parents.

So, Ivrin tried her best to protect her parents, hoping that if she became stronger, they would be treated better.

But perhaps her expectations were too high.

The beastkin’s attitude towards her changed, but only towards her.

They were still harsh towards her parents.

Ivrin didn’t realize this when she was younger, as she was too busy experiencing the ups and downs of life.

After graduating from the children’s academy and sparring with Kage, she returned home to find her parents hanging themselves.

There was a note left behind, cursing Ivrin.

But even with her strong mental fortitude, she couldn’t handle it.

It was because they had said…

-It’s because your parents were weak. Don’t worry about it.

-Weak beastkin are naturally weak-minded and tend to commit suicide.

–We’ll take care of you, so don’t worry.

They had spoken ill of her parents in front of her.

They justified their parents’ suicide and even offered to take care of her.

How could she not feel disgusted by them?

So, she betrayed them.

If she didn’t kill all the beastkin, she wouldn’t be able to live with herself.

“Tsk!”

Seeing Kage after a long time, Ivrin furrowed her brows and clicked her tongue.

Then, she took out a crystal ball from her extra-dimensional ring.

“Ah, ah, John-nim.”

“Yes, it’s Ivrin.”

“Yes, sir. I have something unexpected to report.”

Ivrin explained everything that had happened today without leaving anything out.

“Hahaha! I never expected that the beastkin brat who ran away would be in the David family.”

John burst out laughing, his voice filled with joy.

At that moment…

‘What’s this?’

Ivrin felt a piercing gaze.

She turned towards the source of the gaze and saw…

“Flap, flap.”

A bald eagle flew away, trying to avoid her gaze.

Ivrin sighed, feeling deflated.

‘It was just an eagle.’

At that moment, John asked curiously…

“Why? Is something wrong?”

“No, I thought someone was watching me, but it was just an eagle.”

“Hmm. I understand. When we start the wave tomorrow, you’ll attack from the inside.”

“Yes, sir.”

Ivrin answered John’s command without hesitation.

Then, she carefully asked…

“What about Kage?”

“That’s up to you.”

“But don’t go easy on her like last time. There won’t be a second chance.”

“Yes, sir.”

After that, Ivrin put the crystal ball back into her extra-dimensional ring.

Meanwhile, Kaine, who was watching them secretly as an eagle using transformation and map vision, returned to his room and said…

“It seems like there won’t be a happy ending.”

He watched the recorded footage from the communication ring and sighed.

.

.

.

About five hours had passed, and it was already dark outside.

Although it was past bedtime for children, Kage’s eyes sparkled with excitement, unlike her usual self.

‘I want to stay up all night and play with Ivrin!’

But Lise had told her to separate personal and professional matters.

Kage had been thoroughly trained to do so, so she couldn’t bring herself to enter Ivrin’s room.

Instead…

‘Passing by her room on my way to the bathroom shouldn’t be a problem, right?’

She wasn’t going to her room on purpose.

She was just going to pass by on her way to the bathroom.

As Kage rationalized to herself, she noticed…

‘Huh?’

The master’s room was open, even though no one should be there at this time.

The lights were on in the room.

‘Is the master of the master still working?’

Recently, the cult had been active, and the master of the master was a high-ranking noble, so it wasn’t unusual for him to be working at this hour.

Kage accepted this and was about to walk past the room when…

“Yes, Father.”

She heard the master’s voice coming from inside the room.

‘Huh? Master?’

Usually, at this time, he would be resting in the bath or his room.

But, contrary to her expectations, he was having a serious conversation with Thomas in the master’s room.

‘What’s going on? Is something wrong?’

Kage’s curiosity got the better of her, and she cautiously approached the door.

At that moment, Kaine spoke without thinking…

“It seems like the child Kage brought is a cult branch leader.”
