-Crackle!
Although they were just looking at each other, it felt like sparks were flying between them.
The room fell silent for a moment.
“Ahem.”
I cleared my throat to break the silence.
Lise placed the tea on the table, her usual task.
She gently placed it in front of me but put it down a little harder in front of the Constellation, as if she was annoyed.
The Constellation noticed her attitude and, unlike before, smiled like a villainess and spoke politely,
“Hoho, it seems like the maid can’t control her strength.”
“Oh, yes, well…”I always feel this, but she’s good at setting the mood.
Usually, when she sends messages, she acts like a dignified person, but now she’s acting like a villainess.
Lise placed the cup on the table and ignored the Constellation’s words, focusing on me.
She walked up to me and stood by my side.
“Lise?”
“Just in case, I’ll stay by your side to protect you.”
Her voice was cold, and I couldn’t bring myself to tell her to leave.
Hmm, it’s just a little awkward.
I felt a sense of pressure and turned my gaze back to the Constellation.
She glared at Lise for a moment but then smiled kindly when she saw me looking at her.
“Then, let’s get to the point. Let’s go on a date tomorrow…”
The Constellation blushed and blurted out her request, then covered her face with the pillow again.
Lise’s eyebrows twitched as she listened to the Constellation’s words.
Damn. What should I do?
If Lise wasn’t here, I would have accepted her offer.
After all, I don’t know what would happen if I rejected the Constellation’s invitation.
But if I accept her offer now, the problem is Lise.
In reality, although I’ve denied it, she has some yandere tendencies.
My intuition, which has read many yandere manga and novels, tells me so.
If I accept her offer now,
A famous yandere manga, School Days, came to mind, along with the famous quote, ‘If you fuck around, you’ll get fucked.’
As I was thinking, the Constellation looked at me with a strange gaze.
[Kaine, are you saying you won’t go on a date with me? You’ve had intimate moments with other girls, haven’t you? You tried to kiss that seductive maid. You trained with that girl named Skaya or something. You went on a date with Eileen, your ex-fiancée. You even made a promise with Ange. But you won’t do anything with me? Is that it? Is that it? Is that it?]
Goosebumps covered my body as I received a long message from her.
Huh? Why does it feel like she’s becoming a yandere?
I rolled my eyes towards Lise.
She stood there awkwardly, pretending to be calm, but it was clear that she was feeling anxious.
As I remained silent, the Constellation’s face slowly turned pale, and her gaze became colder.
“Yes, let’s go on a date tomorrow.”
“Huh?!”
At my answer, Lise turned her head towards me like a broken robot, her eyes filled with fear.
Damn.
But it’s better than nothing.
Lise is my exclusive maid, so I can somehow deal with her, but if the Constellation loses control, I won’t be able to handle her.
In reality, the Constellation in front of me is like an uncontrollable bomb.
After hearing my answer, the Constellation blushed and smiled innocently.
“Then, let’s meet in front of the David family mansion tomorrow at this time…”
“Yes, I understand.”
As I nodded in agreement with her suggestion,
[By the way, don’t even think about sending your clone. I’ll immediately notice.]
The Constellation sent me a message as if warning me.
… Is she blushing because she’s embarrassed?
She acts shy when she looks at me, but she’s quite bold when sending messages.
To be honest, she always spoke well when sending messages.
“Then, I’ll take my leave.”
“Yes, I understand.”
With those words, the Constellation disappeared in an instant, as if using a transfer spell.
She left the bracelet on the table.
It seems like her descent time was almost up.
As I looked at the bracelet on the table, Lise looked at me with an explanatory gaze.
“Master, can you explain what happened?”
“Well, it’s like this…”
I explained the situation like a cheating husband, taking about an hour to do so.
.
.
.
Two hours after the Constellation disappeared,
Lise, who had heard Kaine’s excuses, headed towards her room.
‘Something’s suspicious…’
According to Kaine, he had known the Constellation for a long time, but his gaze seemed strange, like a frog in front of a snake.
And that’s not all.
Although Kaine sometimes goes on dates with other women and is alone with them, he has never openly flirted with them in front of Lise.
But today, Kaine accepted the Constellation’s offer even though Lise was right next to him.
‘I need to have a meeting.’
As Lise thought this, she arrived at her room.
She opened the door with a serious expression and took out a communication crystal ball from the desk drawer.
As Lise infused the crystal ball with power,
“Huh? Lise, what’s the matter?”
Skaya’s voice came from the crystal ball. Lise answered in a serious tone,
“Yes, I need to have a meeting.”
“A meeting? Really?”
“Yes, it’s true.”
Skaya said with an annoyed tone.
“Hmm, why does he always have women around him? Even the Saintess!”
“I agree.”
Indeed, as Skaya said, Kaine is undeniably handsome, and all his acquaintances are women.
Moreover, they are all beautiful enough to catch people’s attention.
Skaya tapped her foot as she asked,
“So, who is it this time?”
“I… I don’t know.”
“What?!”
You don’t know?
Who is Lise?
Although she may be weaker than Eileen or the top students at the Royal Academy, she is a professional assassin for the David family.
In reality, she is well-informed, especially when it comes to people.
Skaya was surprised for a moment, but Lise answered in a cold tone,
“Well, I think she’s a noble.”
“Hmm? What’s your basis for that?”
“Not a basis, but her behavior and demeanor were all dignified. And… this is just my intuition, but she seemed quite skilled.”
“Hmm… If you say so, Lise, it must be someone extraordinary. Anyway, I’ll contact Eileen. When do you want to meet?”
At her question, Lise answered firmly,
“Now. It’s better to meet now.”
“Hmm… Are you in a hurry?”
“Yes, I am. But, Skaya…”
“Huh? Why?”
“Well, didn’t you say that you didn’t like Kaine before?”
That’s right. During the midterm exam study session at the cafe, Skaya said that she didn’t like Kaine.
Although her actions contradicted her words, she did say that.
In fact, I’ve known this for a long time.
Since they were childhood friends and spent time together, I’ve known that Skaya liked Kaine.
Although she denied it, I could tell.
‘And… well, Skaya is…’
In this world, polygamy is legal.
So, Skaya is a woman I can accept.
Moreover, Kaine was a troublemaker, but he was particularly concerned about Skaya, and she was the one who pushed for their relationship.
So, Skaya is a woman I can accept as Kaine’s partner.
Of course, I won’t give up my position as the main wife.
‘And she’s also a duchess…’
As I thought this, I realized that being Kaine’s exclusive maid was both a blessing and a curse.
In reality, this position made it unlikely for me to be with Kaine.
Anyway, I can’t let this woman get close to him.
Although Kaine is undeniably handsome, it’s not because of that.
‘There must be some intention behind this.’
As Lise suspected the Constellation, Skaya answered her question, as if making an excuse,
“Oh, no. I’m Kaine’s childhood friend, so I’m worried about him!”
“Hmm… I understand. Then, I’ll contact Eileen, and we’ll meet there.”
With those words, Lise headed towards a famous cafe in the capital.
.
.
.
After receiving the news from Skaya, Eileen put on her pink training clothes and took the handkerchief that Kaine had given her.
Then, she headed towards the cafe in the capital.
Soon, she arrived at the meeting place.
She ordered a drink from the cafe owner, who was sweating, and went upstairs.
“Eileen, here.”
“I’m here.”
Skaya and Lise called out to her as if they had been waiting.
Eileen sat down in her seat and turned her gaze to Lise.
“Why did you call us here so suddenly?”
“Yes, I’ll explain.”
Lise explained to Eileen what she had told Skaya.
Although Eileen looked calm on the outside, she was fuming inside.
‘Damn! Why does he always have women around him?!’
As Eileen tapped her foot in frustration, Lise opened her mouth as if passing a death sentence.
“And the most important thing is that Master will go on a date with her tomorrow.”
“What?!”
“Huh?!”
At her words, the two women widened their eyes in surprise.
Eileen stood up from her seat.
Coincidentally, the cafe owner brought their drinks with an awkward smile.
“Here… your drinks.”
“Oh, yes.”
Eileen naturally stood up to receive the drinks, taking the cups from the owner.
Then, she drank the drinks as if nothing had happened.
“Slurp! Slurp!”
The two women looked at Eileen with incredulous expressions.
Eileen coughed to hide her embarrassment.
“Ahem. Yes, so what are we going to do?”
At her question, Skaya also looked at Lise.
Lise answered with a serious expression,
“How about tailing the two of them?”
“Hmm. It’s not a bad idea, but the problem is Lise. Do you know when they’re meeting?”
At Skaya’s question, Lise remembered the conversation between Kaine and the Constellation.
“I know the time because I was there.”
“But… isn’t that stalking?”
At Eileen’s question, Skaya hesitated to answer, feeling a little guilty.
But unlike the other two, Lise shook her head without changing her expression.
“It’s not stalking. We’re just coincidentally on the same path as Kaine.”
At her rationalization, the two women were speechless.
Although they knew that Lise liked Kaine, they never expected her to be so blunt.
But the two women also liked Kaine, just like Lise.
They nodded in agreement, rationalizing their actions.
“Yes, that’s right. We made a promise with each other, but our paths just happen to overlap with theirs.”
“That’s right. It’s unavoidable. It’s definitely not tailing them.”
With that, the three women formed an alliance for the first time, rationalizing their actions.
