Avoid the Yandere Goddess

Gerald frowned and clicked his tongue.

“Tsk! How annoying.”

He hadn’t been in a bad mood until he got here. He thought he’d have a good time with the noble ladies.

Until now, his father, Annaral, had not allowed him to attend social gatherings. Because the heads of the ducal family and the other two marquis families might be present. Not to mention, he might be rude to the Crown Prince. However, contrary to expectations.

‘So, the three of them have already decided who will attend.’

According to what he had heard, three people from the Royal Academy, which he had graduated from quite some time ago, had personally stated that they would be attending. Normally, he would think that it’s easier said than done.

‘But they are different.’

Eileen and Skaya had never attended social gatherings before. So, the people from their families would probably welcome them with open arms. Because the heirs of the families were attending the social gathering. After all, they were the future heads of their families.

And the last person. David von Kaine. If the rumors were true, it wouldn’t be strange for him to attend as well. Because the head of his family was quite busy.

‘It’s not for nothing that they are called the power behind the throne.’

Therefore, Annaral must have allowed Gerald to attend without any concerns. Anyway, he digressed for a moment, but the reason he was angry now was none other than Kaine. He felt his anger rising as he recalled Kaine’s behavior.

“Hmm… What do you want to do with that maid?”

Kaine’s personal maid. She was among the top women he had ever seen, with a perfect figure. And he wanted to subjugate a woman with such a haughty expression at least once.

“Hmm. Should I provoke him?”

In the past, Kaine had always ignored his provocations, but considering the behavior he had just shown.

‘I have a feeling he’ll be furious.’

The look Kaine had given him earlier was literally a death glare. He had reacted coldly, as if he was about to kill someone.

Should he provoke him and try to induce a duel? Even though the rumors of Kaine’s change had spread.

‘How much stronger could he have gotten?’

After all, until last year, Kaine had been treated like trash by the David family. So, no matter how much he had grown in just one year, it would be obvious.

‘If he can even hit a flat note at the Royal Academy, that would be fortunate.’

If he provoked Kaine and challenged him to a duel.

“Swoop!”

Not bad. His skills were in the upper-middle range when he attended the Royal Academy. Moreover, it had been three years since he graduated, and he had grown even more since then. Still, just in case, he would bring the doping drugs that were popular in the David territory last year.

‘I doubt I’ll need to use them against Kaine.’

Anyway, he just needed to provoke Kaine and induce a duel. Plus, not only was he close to Lise, but he was also rumored to be close to two other ducal daughters. If he won the duel.

Gerald couldn’t help but burst into laughter at his unrealistic delusions.

“Hahahaha!”

Unaware of the future that was about to unfold.

.

.

.

About an hour had passed since then. The nobles had started to arrive. From people he had never seen before to familiar faces.

And among the familiar faces was Jenny.

“Hey. It’s been a while since I’ve seen such a reaction.”

She elbowed my side and raised one corner of her mouth. As if she was having a great time.

“Yeah. I feel a little strange feeling these stares after so long.”
“Why? I like it, Young Master.”

Lise smiled triumphantly at my complaint. The reactions around her seemed to be quite amusing.

Now I understood why Lise had accepted the invitation to the social gathering without hesitation. To be honest, even though I’m the one who invited her, this place doesn’t have much merit for her. Most people might not know because Patrick had ordered them to keep quiet, but she was a ducal daughter.

However, the reason she accepted my proposal. It was none other than.

‘Who would’ve known she wanted to see the reactions around her.’

To be honest, I thought that the rumors of my change had spread, and people would no longer avoid me. Haven’t I seen people like that recently?

But. Most of the nobles here were meeting me for the first time after my possession. So, it’s not surprising that they’re avoiding me even though the rumors have spread. Because Kaine had been causing more trouble than I had imagined.

‘Sigh.’

I sighed inwardly and looked around. Soon, the people who made eye contact with me.

-Swish!

All of them looked at the distant mountains. As if they would die if they looked into my eyes.

What the hell has Kaine been doing? To begin with, most of them are of lower status than me, so it’s understandable that they’re avoiding me.

‘But they seem to be too scared.’

I felt a bit wronged when.

[The Goddess of Fate says it’s the path you chose. Endure it with your strength and willpower!]

The Constellation sends an indirect message that she’s upset that I left her and came here. Yes, I’ll endure it with my strength and willpower.

No matter how much the people around me avoid me like a monster, wouldn’t it be better than spending a few days alone with the Constellation? At least here, there’s no need to worry about the worst-case scenario.

‘And.’

Not everyone is avoiding me, after all. If there were only people I had never met before, I wouldn’t know, but some students from the Royal Academy are also here. Including the ones who whined about not wanting to go yesterday.

Fortunately, they don’t seem scared or anything. They just look at me with envious eyes.

Is the reaction around her so amusing? A smile appeared on Lise’s lips. As if my reaction was amusing.

“Your expression looks like you’re having a great time, Lise?”
“Hahaha.”

Lise just covered her mouth and laughed at my words. Then.

-Creak!

The sound of a door opening came from inside the mansion. Everyone in the mansion, including me, turned their heads in that direction. I checked who was coming, and.

“Eileen!”

Eileen entered, wearing a tight white dress that revealed her shoulders and cleavage. The men in the mansion, including me, were stunned by her overwhelming appearance. Eileen looked even more beautiful than she did at school.

By the way, did I show my feelings too much?

-Squeeze! Squeeze!
[The Goddess of Fate says that she might shoot lasers from her eyes…]

Lise poked my side with her finger. At the same time, the Constellation reprimanded me.

“No, Lise. It hurts.”
“I’m poking you because it hurts, Young Master.”
[The Goddess of Fate says you need to be punished a little more.]

What the hell is this?

While I was momentarily dumbfounded, Eileen had somehow approached us. She pushed her hair behind her ears and bowed her head deeply. Her cheeks were flushed pink.

“How do I look, Kaine?”

Just as I was about to answer Eileen’s question, Lise whispered to us quietly, with a sinister smile.

“I want to rip off that beautiful chest of yours, Eileen.”
“Hahaha. Thank you, Lise. It’s pitiful that you’re wearing a maid’s uniform at the social gathering.”

Eileen responded with a cold laugh, not wanting to be outdone. Seeing this, I naturally followed Jenny, who was stealthily slipping away.

[The Goddess of Fate is cheering for the maid right now!]

No. Why are you cheering here?

Just as I was feeling baffled by the Constellation’s cheering message.

“Hey! When did you follow me?!”

Jenny seemed to have been unaware that I was following her, as she jumped in surprise when she saw me.

As if she was looking at someone with a time bomb.

“I’ve been following you from the beginning?”
“Damn. Don’t follow me. I feel like I’m going to get caught in the crossfire.”
“Wow. Are you abandoning your friend?”
“Originally, a true friend is one who plays with you when you’re hurt and then plays with you some more.”

Why are you saying such nonsense so seriously? Although I wouldn’t deny what she said, the way she said it with such a serious expression made it seem like she was uttering a great quote.

As I was dumbfounded by Jenny’s quote and nonsense,

-Bang!

Someone opened the door roughly.

Ah, what is it? This ominous feeling?

Was it because of the crisis we experienced on Goldrich Island last time? I felt more sensitive to crisis situations. As expected,

“Of all times, Skaya has to show up.”
“Yeah.”

Damn.

Her black dress revealed her shoulders, cleavage, and even her thighs. She had put on makeup, which she usually didn’t do, and it matched her silver hair. Exaggeration aside, she was so beautiful that I was momentarily stunned, but.

‘That’s the problem.’

Because.

[You’re going to get your eyes pierced!]

It was obvious that they would have this reaction.

The Constellation was reacting like this from a distance, so how would the two of them react up close? I guarantee that their reaction would be even worse.

“Young Master? What’s with that expression…?”
“But Kaine, when did you run away to such a far place?”

As expected, the two of them smiled as if they were about to eat someone.

How do I escape from here? As I was seriously considering this,

“Leiston von Patrick has arrived!”

Kim Soo-yong, who participated in the social gathering as in the original, shouted. The nobles in the mansion, including me, all stopped talking. Meanwhile, Skaya came to stand next to me, but.

“……”
“……”

About three seconds of silence passed. Soon, Patrick slowly appeared at the entrance of the mansion.

He was at the top of the pyramid in terms of status.

A position that even the ducal family would have to yield to.

Patrick, with his golden hair and a handsome appearance that could charm women, smiled kindly and then looked around.

“Today, you are free to do whatever you want, but don’t enter the castle. Let’s go.”

Did he know that his presence would make things uncomfortable? He spoke briefly, showing his flexibility, and left with Kim Soo-yong. At the same time.

“Kim Soo-yong. When did that guy arrive?”
“No, I’m more surprised that you know Prince Patrick.”

Skaya and Eileen looked a little surprised. Well, it’s not surprising that the two of them reacted like this.

Because it’s usually hard for commoners to even see the face of a royal family member. Anyway, that’s one thing.

“I heard that they became close during last year’s field trip because of a bodyguard mission.”

The two of them nodded in agreement with my explanation. They understood why Kim Soo-yong was employed by the royal family.

“Indeed. That guy may not be good at other things, but he’s incredibly skilled.”
“Yes. That’s right.”

This statement wasn’t wrong, but.

‘In reality, the bigger reason is that Kim Soo-yong is chasing after the cult.’

As I thought this, I was talking with my companions when.

“Hey, Kaine~.”

Gerald, the blond-haired, tanned hooligan, approached us with a frivolous smile. The blond sun naturally joined our group.

If I could, I would have loved to punch him in the face with all my might, but it wouldn’t do any good. I endured with all my might, and.

“It’s an honor to meet such beautiful young ladies in person.”

The guy was pretending to be a gentleman, which didn’t suit him at all. Seeing this, the two of them.

“What’s with this hooligan-looking guy?”
“Kaine, is he your friend?”

They ignored him and asked me instead.

Did he not expect to be ignored? The guy furrowed his eyebrows.

Then, with a casual attitude, he put his arm around my shoulder and said,

“Ahahaha. I’ve been friends with Kaine for a long time.”
“……”

Me? With a cult member?

“Is there anyone who wants to have dinner alone with me tonight?”

He said this while looking at Lise and the other two women with lustful eyes. He was thinking about how to seduce these women. Seeing this, I.

‘Hmm…’

Calmly, I put my hand in the pocket of my jacket. I took out the white gloves I had prepared there in case of any unforeseen circumstances. At that moment.

-Smack!

I threw the gloves with all my might at his face. Gerald, who had been hit in the face with the gloves,

When a noble throws gloves, it means.

“Blond-haired, tanned hooligan, I challenge you to a duel.”
