Avoid Yandere Constellation

“… …”

An awkward silence filled the audience chamber as the Emperor finished speaking.

‘So, this is what Patrick meant by something good,’ Kaine thought to himself.

Just then, a fat, vile-looking noble raised his hand and exclaimed,

“Your Majesty! This is unacceptable!”

The Emperor turned to him and asked, “What’s the matter? Do you have a complaint?”

“Well…”

The noble wiped the sweat from his brow and avoided eye contact.

“Go ahead and speak. We should hear the opinions of the other nobles as well,” the Emperor said, raising his chin as if to encourage him.

In summary, he was questioning Kaine’s achievements, arguing that the Saintess had solved the situation and Kaine had taken all the credit.

‘Well, I can’t deny that,’ Kaine thought.

To be honest, it was Origin who had dealt with most of the monsters during the war, and it was thanks to her that they had won.

“So, what have you done?” Kaine asked, his voice cold.

“Huh? What do you mean?” The noble furrowed his brows.

Kaine stared at him with a stoic expression and said,

“I’m asking, what have you done while the Cult was committing terrorism? My family has been hunting down Cult branches and destroying them even before the war, but what have you been doing all this time?”

“… …” The noble clenched his teeth, his face turning red with anger.

‘Yeah, you have no comeback,’ Kaine thought.

To be honest, who had been catching the Cult’s tail ever since Andrew’s attack on the royal family, if not Kim Soo-yong and the David family?

It was ridiculous for someone like him to be pointing fingers at Kaine.

Kaine smirked, and the noble quickly changed the subject, unable to find a rebuttal.

‘When did you last call me a maniac?’ Kaine thought.

It was about time he shed the label of ‘maniac’.

‘I’m the head of the family now. You idiot. Thomas handed it over to me.’

Kaine wanted to blurt out his thoughts, but he swallowed them back, knowing it wouldn’t do any good.

“… …”

“… …”

Another silence filled the large audience chamber, and Kaine’s eyes darted around the room.

‘They’re just holding back,’ he thought.

Sure enough, the Saintesses, except for Rain, were glaring at the noble with intense eyes, as if they were about to explode.

At that moment, the Emperor, with an unpleased expression, spoke up. “Hmm, Desmond von Gef. It seems you have a misunderstanding.”

“Huh?” Gef tilted his head, his face rigid.

The Emperor clarified, “David von Kaine is here as the head of the David family, not as a member. I have already spoken with Thomas.”

“What?!”

The nobles in the room were all shocked by the Emperor’s words. At the same time, the Saintesses, including Rain, Eileen, and Skaya, looked smug, as if to say, ‘My husband is such an amazing person.’

‘They’re acting like they’re the head of the family themselves,’ Kaine thought.

The Emperor silenced the murmuring nobles with a dignified voice. “Everyone, quiet.”

The nobles all flinched and closed their mouths. The Emperor continued, “Now, it seems no one has any objections. From this moment on, the David family is a duke. David von Kaine, except for the handmaids… everyone else, please leave the audience chamber. The Saintesses may do as they please.”

Handmaids…?

Everyone, except for Rain, tilted their heads, feeling a sense of dissonance. However, the Emperor’s command was absolute, and the nobles quietly left the audience chamber without a word.

“… …”

“… …”

The only ones left in the grand audience chamber were the Saintesses, including Rain, and a total of seven people.

“I’m sorry!”

The Emperor suddenly bowed deeply, apologizing.

“Huh?”

Everyone was taken aback by the unexpected situation.

“Ah…”

A thought crossed Kaine’s mind, and he nodded in understanding.

‘If my assumption is correct…’

Everything the Emperor had done so far made sense.

Kaine nodded in agreement, and Lisanna, who had been standing behind him with a puzzled expression, asked, “What is it? Did you figure something out?”

“Yes, I think…”

As Kaine was about to speak, Origin seemed to grasp the situation and looked down at the Emperor with a slightly surprised expression.

“You… do you know who I am?”

“Yes, Your Highness, I do,” the Emperor replied.

As expected, the Emperor confirmed her question. Origin looked puzzled and asked him, “How do you know about me? You’ve never seen me before, have you?”

“Well… The first Emperor left behind a memorial crystal ball with recordings of the Goddess of Fate. He also instructed that if anyone were to encounter you, they should show respect,” the Emperor explained, carefully taking out the crystal ball.

It was quite clean, indicating that it had been preserved with magic.

-Whoosh!

The memorial crystal ball projected images of the first Emperor, who had saved humanity in ancient times, and the Goddess of Fate. Upon seeing this, Origin nodded as if she had just remembered.

“Wow, it’s been a long time. He was quite interesting, and I helped him a lot.”

Origin spoke as if reminiscing about the past. At the same time, the two Saintesses also reacted to the video.

‘I knew that the first Emperor was acquainted with the Goddess of Fate, but I never imagined he would leave behind a crystal ball recording.’

In the original work, the Goddess of Fate never openly revealed her identity, so this was the first time Kaine had learned of this setting.

“But, did they have memorial crystal balls back then?”

Lise asked, as if she had just realized something.

Goddess of Fate replied with a relaxed expression, “What, didn’t we make those crystal balls?”

“Huh?”

Everyone except Kaine was startled by her unexpected answer. Origin, with a proud expression, folded her arms and added an explanation.

“Well, to be precise, it was based on a device called a ‘phone’ that the otherworldly person brought.”

The group opened their mouths wide, as if they had just discovered a profound truth.

However, Origin noticed that Kaine wasn’t surprised. She asked him curiously, “You don’t seem shocked?”

“Well, considering the powers you’ve shown so far, I’m not surprised.”

After all, what’s so surprising about the Goddess making memorial crystal balls? They had even created the Holy Cross of Divinity.

As Kaine shrugged, the Emperor cautiously called out to Origin.

“Umm, Your Holiness.”

“Hmm? What is it?”

“May I ask you something?”

When the Origin nodded, the Emperor asked without hesitation, “Do you have any relationship with David von Kaine?”

“Hmm. Good question.”

Origin smiled, lifting one corner of her mouth. Then, she dropped a bombshell.

“David von Kaine is my lover.”

Origin had just caused a huge commotion.

.

.

.

About an hour had passed since Origin had caused a huge commotion.

‘I’m so tired.’

It had only been an hour, but it felt like the busiest hour of his life.

‘The Emperor even knelt before me.’

The Emperor had looked at Kaine as if he were a saint. And that wasn’t all.

When Lise and the Saintesses heard this, they became furious and kept clinging to Kaine.

‘It’s a good thing that the Saintesses and the Emperor have equal authority.’

Kaine thought as he rested in the luxurious room assigned to him.

-Knock knock.

“May I come in, Kaine-nim?”

Ange’s voice echoed through the door. Kaine replied, inviting her in.

-Creak!

The door slowly opened, and Anje stood there, looking demure. Kaine asked her, puzzled.

“What brings you here?”

“Well, I haven’t had a chance to talk to you face-to-face recently.”

‘She just came to visit, huh.’

“That’s right. We did talk before, but you were busy and had to leave quickly. Do you have any tea that you like?”

“Can I have coffee?”

“Of course.”

Kaine nodded and took out coffee grounds and a cup from his Space ring. Soon, he handed her a cup of steaming coffee.

“Here you go.”

“Thank you, Kaine-nim.”

Ange bowed her head and took a sip.

“Hmm?!”

Her eyes widened in surprise. She hadn’t expected the coffee to be so delicious.

“You must have made a lot of coffee before.”

“Well, yes.”

Kaine had made countless cups of coffee for his bosses back on Earth.

“By the way, have you been busy lately?”

“Yes, has it been noticeable?”

“Well…”

Kaine couldn’t deny it. The dark circles under her eyes were too prominent. He nodded, and Ange slowly moved closer to him.

“Huh?!”

In that moment, she grabbed his hand. With a seductive voice, she whispered in his ear, “Yes, I’m tired. But I think I’ll feel better if I get comfort from you today.”

“Huh?”

Kaine was momentarily startled by her sudden advance.

-Knock knock.

Just then, someone knocked on the door, interrupting them.

Ange’s eyebrows twitched as if she was annoyed by the interruption.

‘It seems like she’s not here for a conversation, but to make a move on me.’

There was no other reason for her to act like this.

Kaine pretended not to notice her reaction and hurried to the door as if trying to escape.

“Yes, who is it?”

As he opened the door, a man with an innocent appearance stood before him.

“Yes, I wanted to have a conversation with you, so I came to visit.”

It was none other than Andrew, the leader of the Cult.

‘What are you doing here?’
