Avoid Yandere Constellation

Chapter 189

In fact, it’s not a problem for them to gather.

After all, they would probably just glare at each other if they gathered. However,

‘Damn. Why does it have to be at a banquet?’

If they gathered in a place where only we were, people would just think, “Oh, they gathered again.”

But,

‘Hmm… I’m afraid that people will misunderstand.’

Or rather, I hope there won’t be any strange rumors.

As I rubbed my temples,

“Hmm… Young master, and the master?”

“Hmm… Anyway, don’t cause any trouble. Son.”

Thomas coughed and quickly entered the mansion. At his words, Lise tilted her head, looking puzzled.

“Hmm… Trouble? Hmm… Young master, what did you talk about with the master that he told you not to cause any trouble?”

“Hmm… Because there will be many nobles. That’s why he told me not to cause any trouble.”

People might think I’m a hooligan.

Well, I was definitely a hooligan before I possessed this body. As I thought this, Lise narrowed her eyes and stared at me suspiciously.

“Hmm… But you looked at him pitifully. Hmm…”

“Hmm… It must be a misunderstanding. Anyway, we don’t have time to talk here. Let’s go.”

“Hmm… Yes, let’s go.”

With that, we headed towards the gate to the capital.

To go to the castle where the royal family lives, we had to take a carriage instead of a gate, just like last time.

-Bump, bump.

The carriage shook so much that a normal person would have gotten motion sickness. Inside the carriage, two people, or rather, one person and a goddess, glared at each other.

“Hmm… It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, goddess.”

“Hmm… Yes, it has been a while. I’m a personal maid, unlike you, who are a concubine.”

“Hmm… Why are you fighting as soon as you meet?”

As I was surprised by their glare, they hugged my arm.

“Hmm… Unlike her, I meet you every day, so why would I be on guard against the goddess? After all, I meet you every day.”

Lise emphasized that she met me every day. Then, the goddess snorted.

“Hmm… So what if you meet me every day? Recently, I’ve been catching up.”

The goddess hit Lise with a heavy fact.

To be honest, I don’t know who’s better, but I’ve heard that the goddess has been catching up to Lise with recently. And it seemed like her words were true.

“Hmm…”

Lise blushed and trembled noticeably. Her trembling was so strong that I could feel it on my elbow. I stroked her head and sighed deeply.

“Hmm… Why is that so important?”

“Hmm… Young master, it’s very important to us.”

“Hmm… Yes, I agree. It’s very important to us.”

Hmm… Why are they getting along so well now?

They were glaring at each other just a moment ago, and now they’re getting along.

I nodded awkwardly, avoiding their gaze.

“Hmm… Yes, I understand. But, Lise, I’m not worried about you, but, goddess, please don’t cause any trouble.”

“Hmm… What do you mean? Why would I cause any trouble?”

The goddess tilted her head, not understanding my words. I tested her by asking in a serious tone,

“Hmm… Then, what will you do if the emperor or the nobles look down on you?”

“Hmm… What? Hmm… I’ll make them kneel.”

I knew she would say that.

After all, in terms of authority, the emperor should look up to the goddess. But, she’s not going as the goddess, but as a maid.

I rubbed my head and sighed deeply, feeling a headache.

“Hmm… Goddess, do you know why I’m sighing?”

“Hmm… What…?”

The goddess avoided my gaze and trailed off. As I stared at her, she spoke in a timid voice,

“Hmm… I’ve never been under anyone before… Hmm… But, I like you, so I’m listening to your requests. Hmm… It’s a little uncomfortable for others to look down on me…”

Hmm… Why did you come, then?

I thought this for a moment, but it’s not surprising that she reacted like this. After all, she’s a transcendent being, far superior to mortals. She has always looked down on others, never up.

‘Hmm… But I can’t let her do what she wants.’

As I rubbed my chin in thought, Lise snorted next to me.

“Hmm… As expected, you’re not that great.”

“Hmm… What?”

At her words, the goddess narrowed her eyes. Then,

“Hmm… I don’t understand why you’re hesitating so much. After all, it’s for the young master.”

Lise leaned on my shoulder and provoked the goddess. Then,

“Hmm!”

The provocation seemed to have hit home. The goddess blushed and fanned herself.

Lise continued to provoke her, caressing my cheek.

“Hmm… You claim to be the main wife, but I think I’m more suitable for the young master than you.”

The goddess’s forehead bulged with veins, and she let out a roar.

“Hmm… Then do it! I’ll endure it!”

At that moment, the goddess hugged my arm, not wanting to lose to Lise. Then,

“Hmm… We’ve arrived.”

A magnificent castle came into view. We got off the carriage and saw the entrance, which was even more heavily guarded than before. As we approached the iron gate, a soldier stopped us. Then,

“Hmm… Identity…”

“Hmm… Here.”

I cut off his words and handed him my student ID and the letter from the emperor. As soon as he saw the letter, his face turned pale, and he saluted like a newly recruited soldier.

“Hmm… You may enter.”

I patted his shoulder and smiled. Then,

“Hmm… Work hard.”

Thus, we headed towards the magnificent castle to meet the emperor.

As we arrived in front of the castle, we were greeted by none other than the second prince, Leiston von Patrick.

“It’s been a while, David von Kaine,” he said, extending his hand for a handshake.

“Yes, Your Highness. I never expected you to come and greet us yourself,” I replied, taking his hand.

“Well, it’s only natural, isn’t it? We’ve never really dealt a proper blow to the Cult, and this time, not only did you manage to do that, but you also led us to victory.”

To be precise, it was thanks to the Saintess behind me.

“By the way, who is that beautiful lady behind you?”

Patrick asked.

Origin, acting as if she were a real handmaid, smiled brightly and introduced herself.

“Yes, I am Origin, and I have come to serve as the young master’s handmaid.”

“Oh…” Patrick was momentarily stunned by her introduction.

In reality, Origin may be a bit eccentric, but her beauty was undoubtedly unparalleled among her rivals. I coughed lightly as Patrick stood there in a daze.

“Ahem, Your Highness?”

“Oh, sorry. I was just… We shouldn’t be standing here. There are already guests inside.”

“Guests?” I asked.

“You know about the banquet, right?”

“Yes, according to the letter, it’s to celebrate the first victory against the Cult, isn’t it?”

“That’s right. The nobles and the Saintesses are here.”

“So, the banquet is happening right now?”

Patrick shook his head.

“No, the banquet is scheduled for tomorrow. Today, we will have an audience with the King.”

“I see.”

“And something good will happen today, so look forward to it.”

Hmm… Something good? I tilted my head, not quite understanding what he meant.

“We’ve arrived. I’ll go in first.”

Finally, we reached the King’s audience chamber. Patrick entered the room first, and I turned to Origin, who was standing behind me with her head bowed.

“Let’s go in. You too, Origin. Can you hold on?”

“Yes, I’ll try my best.”

The Goddes nodded vigorously.

‘Can I trust her?’

I had a bad feeling, but she wasn’t stupid. I decided to trust her and opened the door to the audience chamber.

“David von Kaine has entered the chamber!”

The guard standing outside the chamber announced my arrival, and everyone’s eyes turned to me.

‘Wow, there are so many nobles.’

I had seen many nobles before, but I had never seen so many gathered in one place.

‘The Emperor’s letter must be pretty big.’

Well, it was only natural that the Emperor, not a royal family member, had invited us. I glanced around, and sure enough, I spotted them.

‘Just as my father said.’

There were Skaya, Eileen. Lisanna, Ange, Mira, Kim Soo-yong, and Rain. But that wasn’t all.

‘There are quite a few Royal Academy students as well.’

It felt a bit strange to see the Royal Academy students here during their vacation. As I walked, I soon found myself in front of the Emperor. I immediately knelt on one knee and lowered my head.

“David von Kaine greets the Emperor of the Leiston Continent.”

“… …”

A cold atmosphere filled the audience chamber. What’s going on? Has something happened? I cautiously raised my eyes, and I saw the Emperor sweating like a dog with a full bladder.

‘What’s wrong? Is something the matter?’

I turned around, and sure enough, Origin was trembling.

‘Hey, you said you’d hold on!’

I cried out in my mind, and at that moment, I received messages from the two Saintesses.

[The Goddess of Battle… Hahahaha! It’s been a while since I’ve seen something this entertaining! Thank you, hahaha!]

[The Goddess of Play insists that this must be preserved, hahahaha!!!]

The two Godess burst into laughter at my expense. In that moment, I realized why the Goddess was reacting this way.

‘Damn.’

From our perspective, it was normal to act this way in front of the Emperor, but for Origin, it was quite humiliating. Moreover, not only were the two Goddesses watching, but they were also preserving the moment.

‘The reason she’s trembling like that is definitely because those two are spamming messages.’

Otherwise, there was no reason for her to tremble like that in real-time.

‘But aside from Origin, why does the Emperor have that expression on his face?’

As I wondered, the Emperor wiped the sweat from his forehead.@@novelbin@@

“Ahem. Lift your head.”

The Emperor finally seemed to snap out of it and cleared his throat, speaking in a dignified tone. We all raised our heads, and the next moment—

-gulp!

The Emperor looked at Origin with a tense expression and then swallowed. Like a scared puppy.

“So… let’s get to the point quickly.”

“Yes.”

I nodded, and the Emperor continued.

“The reason I called you here, David von Kaine, is to elevate the David family from the rank of viscount to that of duke as a reward for your achievements.”
