I was momentarily taken aback by her quick change of attitude, but that’s not the point.
It’s not like I’ll be at a disadvantage if the Constellation changes her stance.
‘I feel like I shouldn’t have mentioned granting wishes.’
Anyway, I’ll only do what I can.
I’ll refuse any dangerous wishes.
Anyway, aside from that…
“Constellation, just in case, can you use magic?”
[The Goddess of Fate pretending to be Andrew can use all her powers, but she’s she’s not used to using other powers.]
No, why is she making excuses for something like that?
She’s already laying out her insurance.But I already knew that.
I knew she wouldn’t be able to handle other powers as well as her divine power.
After all, when she killed the heretic assassin from the Cult, she said she wasn’t as good at handling magic as she was at using divine power.
‘Well, it’s good that she can use it at all.’
And in the first place…
‘It’s just that she can’t handle it as precisely as she’d like.’
From my mortal perspective, it seemed like she was handling it incredibly well.
After all, she used a magic gun without any trouble.
While I was thinking this…
[The Goddess of Fate pretending to be Andrew asks why you’re asking that.]
The Constellation sent a message filled with questions.
Yeah, I should tell her a little bit.
In fact, she’s already pretending to be Andrew to fulfill my request.
The Constellation, who seemed eager to get the wish, didn’t hesitate to abandon her pride as a goddess.
It seemed like I could tell her the story, excluding the parts I wanted to keep secret, to appreciate her efforts.
“Well, as you know, that Gerald or whatever his name is, is currently imprisoned on charges of heresy, right?”
[The Goddess of Fate pretending to be Andrew says that’s because of you…]
“Anyway.”
I cut off the Constellation’s message, which was trying to hit me with the facts.
Then, I continued.
“I don’t know what kind of trick he used, but he’s trying to get out of the charges. So we need solid evidence and a witness.”
[The Goddess of Fate pretending to be Andrew perks up her ears.]
“If you pretend to be Andrew and naturally push Gerald towards the Cult, it should work. Of course, it wouldn’t be strange for me to do it, but we know what could happen if I make a mistake, right?” ꞦÂ₦οВƐs̩
[The Goddess of Fate pretending to be Andrew says she understands.]
As expected of the Constellation, who has a lot of experience.
She understands what I’m saying.
Then…
[The Goddess of Fate pretending to be Andrew asks when we’re going to do it.]
The Constellation, who seems eager to do it quickly, asks when we’re going to do it.
She’s like a child who wants to receive a gift as soon as possible.
Hmm… In the original story, it happens tomorrow.
‘Do we really need to do it tomorrow?’
Anyway, Andrew didn’t cause the terrorist attack in the original story.
What’s important here is that Andrew needs to cause a terrorist attack to warn the royal family and their entourage about the danger of the Cult.
In other words, the exact timing of the terrorist attack isn’t important.
‘Why don’t we just finish it today?’
There’s no reason to wait until tomorrow.
And if we make a mistake, Gerald’s charges might be dropped before that.
I should finish it today.
After finishing my thoughts, I slowly opened my mouth.
“Let’s do it tonight at the party. It should have the desired effect.”
[The Goddess of Fate pretending to be Andrew nods in agreement.]
.
.
.
About five hours had passed since then.
Kim Soo-yong started to put on a suit, which he usually didn’t wear, for the heretic party.
“Haa… I’m not used to these kinds of events.”
Before coming to this world, he was just an ordinary college student.
He had never been to a party where the upper class would gather.
‘Sigh… But it’s hard to refuse Patrick’s request.’
To be honest, the only ones supporting him right now are the David family and Patrick’s forces.
And that’s already a huge deal.
‘But it’s not enough to take on the Cult.’
Before meeting Andrew, he didn’t think they were that dangerous.
He thought they were all weak, except for Ashad, who was a high-ranking member.
But…
‘Andrew was different.’
His magic was powerful enough to swallow the world.
And he had a power that seemed to be on a different level.
I can confidently say that if the woman hadn’t appeared in the middle, I would have died for sure.
His aura was no joke.
And he was quite tired.
‘And he’s not the only problem.’
About a month or two ago, when he went to destroy the Cult’s branch, he met a top-tier demon.
Even though he wasn’t the boss of the Cult, the top-tier demon was as strong as his teacher, Tony.
Even though he was holding back…
‘If he had tried to kill me…’
He thought that some of them might have died in that place.
And the last demon who appeared, with his face hidden…
‘Hoo…’
At the time, he was so tired that he couldn’t remember clearly, but even so, he could tell that the demon was on a different level.
He couldn’t help but think this because even the top-tier demon was afraid of him.
Those guys were trying to take over the continent.
It was impossible to win with just two forces.
So, at the heretic party, he needed to get close to the nobles and let them know about the danger of the Cult.
After finishing his thoughts, Kim Soo-yong tidied up his clothes and headed towards the heretic party hall.
.
.
.
Meanwhile, at the same time…
Kaine and Lise, who arrived at the heretic party earlier than anyone else, turned their heads towards each other.
“Lise, are you really okay with this?”
“Yes, it’s fine.”
“Haa… You’re the only one who’s going to be wearing a maid outfit, right?”
To be honest, it’s not that it’s bad for a maid to wear a maid outfit at the noble party.
It’s just that I feel a bit sorry for some reason.
To be honest, it’s obvious that all the servants brought by the nobles will be wearing dresses or suits, right?
But if only Lise is wearing a maid outfit, I’ll feel like a piece of trash.
“I’m fine. This maid outfit is like a dress to me. It’s also my reason for being.”
Lise pointed to her outfit with a proud look on her face.
I can’t argue with that.
Kaine eventually let out a deep sigh.
As if he had lost to her.
“Haa… Well, if that’s what you want, I can’t do anything about it.”
Kaine gently patted Lise’s head as he said this.
At the same time…
-The door to the noble party hall suddenly opened.
The person who opened the door to the noble party hall without any hesitation was Winton von Skaya, one of the dukes on the Leiston continent.
As expected, she puffed out her cheeks and stared with wide eyes.
“Really, I’m glad I came early! What were you two trying to do in the noble party when no one was around?”
“No, I was just patting her head.”
As Kaine explained with an aggrieved look, Skaya shook her head.
“No, in my experience, you would have gone further. It wouldn’t have ended there.”
“Hmm… I won’t deny it, Skaya-nim.”
No, Lise, why are you taking her side?
Lise suddenly betrayed him.
As Kaine was momentarily stunned,
“So, pat my head too. It’s only fair.”
Skaya shamelessly spoke as if this was the main point.
Is she feeling embarrassed herself?
Her face turned red, and she started waving her arms around in a fluster.
“Um, I, I still need to get used to skinship with you because of our couple magic! So I’m different from Lise! Yes! I can’t help it! It’s all for us!”
“No, I didn’t ask about that…”
“Ugh…”
Skaya blushed and bowed her head.
Her cute appearance made Kaine gently pat her head, just like he did with Lise.
And it seemed like she was in a really good mood.
“Hehe.”
Skaya smiled with her head bowed.
It was like a puppy wanting to be cute for its owner.
If she had a tail, she would have wagged it for sure.
As he was thinking this, Lise, who was watching from the side, let out a deep sigh.
“Now, let’s stop. If Eileen-nim comes and sees this, she’ll think we’re being unfair and ask you to do it to her too…”
Before Lise could finish her sentence,
As if she had been waiting for those words, someone opened the door.
-Squeak!
As expected, the person who opened the door and entered was Elijah von Eileen.
She entered the noble party hall with her usual stern expression.
Then…
“….Kaine? Skaya?”
She looked at them with an expression that seemed to say, “Why are you doing this without me?”
“Wow, Kaine. Even so, it’s a bit much to do this with just the two of you here, excluding Eileen…”
Jenny poured oil on the fire.
For some reason, Kaine felt aggrieved.
“Kaine, please do it to me too. This is unfair.”
Eileen said this with a very aggrieved expression.
Haa… Lately, the Constellation seems like the most decent one.
Unconsciously, he thought of her, and at the same time, the incident where he was kidnapped by her on the Gold beach dungeon flashed through his mind.
‘That’s not the case, though.’
The Constellation is like that because she manages herself.
If she didn’t manage herself like the protagonist…
‘I don’t even want to imagine it.’
Anyway, this isn’t the time to be distracted.
While he was distracted, Eileen seemed to have made some kind of big misunderstanding, as she was about to cry.
If he just stood there, she would definitely think that he was avoiding her because he didn’t like her.
Therefore…
-Pat, pat.
He needed to gently pat her head.
As Kaine gently patted her head,
The next moment…
Grab!
She hugged Kaine tightly.
As if she had been waiting for this moment.
Skaya and Lise stared at Eileen with wide eyes.
“Wow, she’s a high-level player. Lately, she’s been really unfair too.”
“Yes, Skaya-nim. The ‘ex’-fiancée is quite good at acting.”
“And Kaine, who could have avoided it but didn’t… I’ll leave the rest to your imagination.”
No, Jenny, why are you pouring oil on the fire?
As Kaine was feeling bewildered, Eileen let go of her hug.
She blushed and turned her head away, probably because she didn’t want to show her relaxed expression.
“Hehe.”
However, unfortunately, a smirking sound was heard.
After that, the women started bickering.
After about 10 minutes of Kaine mediating between the women,
-Squeak!
The nobles gradually gathered at the noble party hall.
Lise and the other women, as soon as the nobles entered,
Began to manage their expressions.
As if they had been doing this from the beginning.
‘Look at that attitude change.’
An attitude change that would make any character from Earth cry.
Until a moment ago, they were bickering, but now they were talking to each other with a friendly expression, as if nothing had happened.
Of course, they were giving each other looks as if they were picking on each other, but it was definitely just my imagination.
‘Could it be… Are they really going to do that?’
As he tried to ignore their eye fight, everyone who was supposed to gather at the noble party had arrived.
Patrick brought Kim Soo-yong and looked around the heretic party hall, then slowly climbed the stairs to the second floor.
Then…
“So, everyone, enjoy the noble party…”
Before he could finish his sentence…
-Bang!
The false Andrew’s terrorist attack began.
