Avoid Yandere Constellation

Skaya arrived at the David’s mansion. As she strode towards the mansion with a furrowed brow, a guard stopped her.

“You can’t come in…”

Skaya cut him off and presented her student ID. “Is this enough?”

The guard saw the name ‘Winton’ on the ID and immediately stood at attention. “Please come in.”

“Thank you.”

Skaya entered the mansion. Normally, she would have greeted the master of the house, Thomas, but she couldn’t wait to talk to Kaine. After all, the letter she received was an invitation to Lise’s engagement ceremony.

‘What on earth happened during the one-day break?’

Skaya made her way to Kaine’s room, deep in thought. Soon, she arrived at her destination.

“Phew…”

-Creak!

…What? Skaya tilted her head in confusion as she saw Kaine leisurely sipping tea in his room.

Was he not shocked by the news of Lise being a duchess’s daughter? He didn’t seem to be reacting the way a normal person would.

“Hey, Kaine, why are you so relaxed?”

“Huh? When did you get here?”

“Does it matter when I got here?”

At her cold question, Kaine shrugged.

“You crazy guy, you must have heard about Lise too, right?”

“… …”

“What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be doing something to stop it?”

Kaine remained silent in response to her question. Skaya clenched her fists, trembling with anger, and then…

-Whoosh!

She manifested a high-level magic spell. Kaine, seeing the magic on her palm, swallowed dryly.

‘Wow, I shouldn’t joke around with her.’

He looked at the magic on her palm. ‘Well, I’m only this relaxed because I have everything prepared.’

When Kaine received the engagement invitation, he was almost as furious as Skaya, but he had exercised patience. After all, the Ripford family was destined to fall soon.

He watched as Skaya’s tears flowed uncontrollably.

‘…’

It seemed that the childhood friend Knox mentioned was Skaya. The two of them had always seemed very close.

At first, Kaine thought Skaya that had simply been close friends with her in the past because Lise had been his personal maid, but it seemed there was more to it. Judging by Skaya’s intense reaction, she must have been very close to Lise when they were young.

Kaine spoke to calm her down. “I know what you’re worried about, but please calm down.”

“… …”

“Hey, do you think I would just sit back and do nothing? You know my personality, right?”

Perhaps because she had witnessed Kaine’s personality many times, Skaya nodded without hesitation.

‘Wait, is she not hesitating at all?’

Kaine felt a bit hurt, but now wasn’t the time to worry about that. He needed to stop her magic first.

“So, please turn off that magic. It’s terrifying.”

“Hmm… Yeah, I guess I got a little carried away.”

Skaya snapped her fingers, and the high-level magic disappeared like a candle being blown out.

‘She must have been controlling her magical power all this time.’

Skaya narrowed her eyes and asked, “So, what are you going to do about it?”

“Take a look at this, and you’ll understand why I’m so relaxed.”

Kaine handed her a crystal ball. Skaya took it and looked into it without hesitation.

“Huh?!”

She widened her eyes as she watched the video he had sent her.

Meanwhile, at that time, Lise was arguing with her father.

“Father, I’ve told you repeatedly that I’m not getting engaged.”

“It’s too late. We’ve already sent out invitations to other families, and the Saint of the Goddess of Fate has agreed to officiate the ceremony.”

His emotionless voice made her feel like she was getting a headache.

‘He hasn’t changed at all from the past.’

He was the type of person who believed everything he did was right and didn’t listen to others. A typical old-fashioned person.

Not only that, but he didn’t show any emotions and was extremely stubborn.

While Lise and the head of the Ripford family, Gerard, were having a standoff…

“Master, Marin has arrived at the mansion.”

A servant spoke in a businesslike tone. Gerard responded to the servant.

“Okay, please let him in.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened. Lise turned her head, her eyes wide with anger.

Golden hair, a face that made people feel disgusted with its greasy features. Seeing Marin’s face made her miss Kaine even more.

He entered the master’s room and glanced at Lise before shifting his gaze to Gerard.

“So, this is my fiancée?”

“Who is your fiancée?”

“Hmm, not bad looking, and a nice figure too.”

Marin ignored her question and looked at Lise with lustful eyes, causing her to shudder in disgust.

“Father, I’m telling you again, I will not go through with this engagement.”

As Lise turned to leave the master’s room, Gerard spoke.

“Can they handle both the Ripford and Valentina families?”

Lise’s steps came to an abrupt halt, and she furrowed her brow in anger.

“What did you say?”

“Where do you think you’re going? It’s obvious. You’re going to the David mansion. Even if you don’t go there, both the Valentina and my family will suspect them. Do you think the David family can handle two duke families?”

Lise trembled with rage at his threat. She wanted to refute his words, but…

‘Even if the David family is a knight family, it’s impossible for them to handle two families.’

Moreover, there was no guarantee that Thomas would protect her. She couldn’t put her family in danger because of herself.

Of course, Kaine could protect her, but…

‘That would put him in too much danger.’

Lise rationalized to herself, feeling helpless and resentful. She clenched her lower lip tightly and left the master’s room.

.

Kwangg!

“Is that woman going to leave?”

Marin asked Gerard as he watched Lise walk out of the room. Gerard, with a stoic expression, replied.

“Don’t worry, she won’t leave. She knows what I said.”

“Then what?”

Everything was going according to plan. Marin wasn’t particularly interested in Lise.

Of course, it was undeniable that she was beautiful. But it wasn’t about her…

What the Valentina family wanted was the Ripford family itself. The engagement with Lise was just a facade to make it seem like a mutually beneficial arrangement. In reality, they were causing all this trouble to absorb the Ripford family.

‘We’ve been planning this for so long.’

The Valentina family had been preparing for this moment for a long time. Rumors had spread among the nobility that Marin was at the bottom of the Valentina family, and he was known for his dissatisfaction with his own family.

However, this was all part of a plan orchestrated by Marin and the Valentina family. They knew that other families would approach him.

Sure enough, Gerard, the head of the Ripford family, took the bait. Marin recalled the conversation he had with Gerard.

‘You must have many complaints about the Valentina family. How about getting engaged to our daughter?’

‘… It’s true that I’ll either die at the hands of my older brother, who will become the head of the family, or work myself to death under him. I’ll accept your proposal, but let’s make it seem like it’s coming from your family. I need to maintain my reputation, after all.’

Gerard nodded without hesitation. Marin snapped out of his thoughts and imagined himself in control of the Ripford family.

‘Not bad.’

He would never become the head of the Valentina family anyway, so it was better to take over a dukedom like the Ripford family.

‘But in the end, the Ripford family will be swallowed up by the Valentina family.’

Still, after his older brother, he would be the highest-ranking member of the family, so there was no harm in it. Marin smirked.

At that moment, the two men in the master’s room had no idea that this was the day before their downfall.

.

.

.

Meanwhile, at that time, Lise was walking towards her room with a determined stride.

“…”

She maintained her silence, her eyes wide with anger, and soon arrived at her room. Without hesitation, she flung open the door as if to show that she was angry, and then slammed it shut.

Kwangg!

Lise entered her room and asked, “How was my acting, junior?”

“Perfect.”

Kage gave her a thumbs up. Lise sighed in relief.

“Phew, I was worried that my acting would be exposed. I kept rationalizing to myself.”

Lise passed the communication ring, which was a pair with Kaine’s, to Kage.

‘I hope the recording turned out well.’

In fact, Lise had anticipated her father Gerard’s threat long ago. However, there was no way she could handle it on her own.

So, Lise had been wondering how to resolve the situation when Kage explained the mission she had received from Kaine.

He told her to wear the ring and record Gerard, the head of the family, as well as her fiancé, Marin. At first, she didn’t understand his orders, but she decided to trust Kaine’s words. After all, there was no other clear solution.

‘I wonder what Kaine is planning to do?’

Even if they spread the news of what happened, the Gerard family would only suffer minor damage, as forced engagements were common in noble society.

‘I have to trust him. I have to believe in him.’

Before Kaine left for his family, he had said that he would never let anyone take her away and that he would definitely come to rescue her.

‘So, I’ll wait.’

With that in mind, Lise thought of Kaine.

.

.

.

The next day, I woke up as usual.

“…”

Normally, Kage would annoy me, or Lise would wake me up gently, but since they weren’t there, I felt something was missing. Well, this feeling would end today.

Today was the day I would bring Lise back. I got dressed in my usual suit and left the mansion without hesitation.

“Hey, take me with you!”

“Oh, right, you’re here too.”

Skaya pouted as if she was upset that I was leaving her behind. She had stayed at the David mansion for the night since she would be going to the engagement ceremony the next day.

So, we set out towards our destination, determined to ruin Lise’s engagement ceremony.
