Chapter 130
Translated by: Miss Ruby
–
It was a somewhat familiar shade of blonde hair . Not only that, even the back facing Yuri was familiar .
‘Lakis?’
Because it was the same back she saw every day, there was no way she could mistake it .
‘But he should be in Carnot right now, why is he here?’
Yuri unconsciously started walking forward like she was possessed .
“Arachne? There’s someone there…”
Odin spoke with a start, but his words did not reach Yuri’s ears . Eventually, Yuri stepped into the more secluded alley where the blonde man was .
The man whose back was facing Yuri stopped walking when he felt a presence approaching him . Soon, he turned around to face Yuri in the darkness .
“Mr . Lakis . ”
Seeing the face before her, Yuri subconsciously opened her mouth and called out a familiar name .
Instantly, Odin flinched .
‘What? Lakis? Could it be Lakis Avalon?’
Suddenly, his mind was wracked with a splitting headache . Odin staggered, suppressing a groan . His mind was once again filled with confusion like he was trying to remember something or not remember .
Odin, who was only poking his head out of Yuri’s pocket, covered his head with his wings and collapsed inside . At the same time, Yuri stopped at the gaze meeting hers in the air .
The moment their eyes met, she seemed to see an unknown light flash in the man’s blue eyes for some reason .
The man in front of Yuri certainly looked exactly like the person she knew . With golden hair that shone brightly even in the dark, a face with delicate features, and even the brilliant pair of light blue eyes that made a chill run down her spine, they were all familiar to her eyes .
However…
“…Lakis, you say?”
It was not him . This person was not Lakis . He could never be Lakis . The moment the man opened his mouth, her certainty grew .
“For you to call me by that name . ”
Horrifyingly enough, even the man’s voice was the same as Lakis . But it definitely felt different .
“I see, so you know ‘me’ . ”
A chilling light flashed in his deep blue eyes submerged in the shadows .
“And you’re a mutant . ”
But it was soon covered with a smile and disappeared .
“Well then…”
Tak .
The man took a step forward to approach Yuri .
“I shall take you for now . ”
A voice low enough that it seemed like he was talking to himself clung to her ears . The man stretched his hand out of Yuri, who stood there like she was frozen .
Yuri instinctively tried to avoid the man .
‘Huh…?’
But for some reason, her consciousness dimmed right away and she was unable to do anything . Her powerless body fell down . As she fell, the man’s hands caught her .
The last thing Yuri saw were unfamiliar blue eyes shining vividly in the pitch darkness .
“Welcome back, Lakis-nim!”
Meanwhile, Lakis was in Carnot like Yuri expected . If he had gone as planned, he should have arrived a little earlier but because he stopped somewhere on the way, he was a little later than expected .

He entered the castle in Carnot for the first time in a long while . At that, the subordinates gathered at the door hurriedly bowed their head to greet Lakis .
Of course, the person whom the subordinates rushed out to greet was Milliam, the fake bastard who was playing King while Lakis was gone .
A crooked smile spread over Lakis’ lips .
—These punks have all lost their mind . No, how can not even one bastard tell the difference between a fake face and a real one? You have to just **** them and **** their eyes and for them to come to their senses…
Perhaps the bug felt the same displeasure as Lakis because it enthusiastically continued to let out a string of curses in his mind .
Judging by how they were greeting Lakis without any question, it seemed the fake bastard was not around right now .
Lakis looked down at the dozens of heads bowing to him and smiled coldly . The thought that they must have bowed this respectfully to the fake as well made his stomach churn .
“Oi . ”
“Yes, Lakis-nim!”
“All of you, get your head on the ground . ”
He felt the urge to cut off all their heads and hang it outside the window since it were for decoration .
However, Lakis was feeling specially merciful .
“Yes, Sir!”
Just like before, his men threw their heads to the marble floor and lay, flat without asking a question .
Whack! Thwack!
“Uck…!”
Whack!
“Kh!”
Lakis kicked their lined-up round heads one after the other .
Whenever a kicking sound rang out, his men grabbed their head, groaned and rolled to the side . They couldn’t figure out why Lakis was in a bad mood . But even though they were curious, there was no one with big enough courage to ask Lakis directly .

Amongst them, there were a few of his men who implicitly felt that Lakis had strangely changed since a while ago . So they were confused to be tasting Lakis’ footwork because felt like they had once again returned to be past .
Anyways, in that manner, Lakis coolly passed his men and headed inside the castle .
—Hey, just kicking them once is enough? Grind their mind to pieces![1]
‘I’ll do it even if you tell me not to . But not now, later . ’
Lakis’ gaze sank with even more dreariness .
Only then was the bug satisfied while the men behind Lakis trembled as an eerie chill suddenly ran down their spine .
Lakis’ black shoes stepped past marble floor which sparkled so much that you could practically see it . The floor was cleaned and wiped every single day and not a single dust could be found .
‘If the fake bastard was here, I would have dealt with him immediately, what a pity . ’
But since the fake was away, he would deal with it like it was empty, so it didn’t matter much . Just because it was delayed didn’t mean that the fake’s beating would change .
‘That said, I should find out where he is right now . ’
Lakis climbed up the stairs while wondering who he should call to find out the whereabouts of the fake bastard .
‘Seeing as he dared to climb over my head and send pursuers, I don’t think it will happen, but it will be annoying if he figures out his place and runs away . ’
Bright sunlight seeped in through the window next to the stairs . Lakis’ room was at the top of the castle, but it was in a shade where the sun did not really reach .
There was a sun-lit room a little further down, and now that he thought about it, Yuri would probably like that room . Then since her bedroom would be there, it would be better for Lakis to move rooms .
Plus, seeing as Yuri like to watch the sunset on the river from her house in the East, it would be nice to make a lounge with a window facing west .
Like he had done so many times since arriving here, Lakis thoughts flew to Yuri who was in the east before he knew it .
He felt satisfied by the idea of bringing Yuri to the castle . Of course, he was yet to even get Yuri’s consent but Lakis had already began to make several blueprints in his mind . If Yuri knew Lakis was having this kind of thoughts, she would probably grow speechless .
—What are you thinking about that your bad mood is gone? Does the thought of beating up the fake turd make you that happy?
Just when he was immersed in a sweet dream, some noise pollution suddenly butt in . Lakis’ face crumpled .
‘Your specialty is simply just spoiling things . ’

—What the! What did I do now to be treated like this?
‘Shut up, don’t talk till I give permission…’
“Gasp, Lakis-nim?”
Just then, someone breathlessly ran over to the bottom of the stairs Lakis was on . Lakis’ icy gaze fell on where the voice came from .
“You’re back earlier than I expected! I thought there would be at least two more days before you came back!”
The man hurried till he was in front of Lakis and bowed at the waist to apologize .
“I’m so sorry! I know I should have been on standby to meet you right away! I was thoughtless…!”
Lakis’ cold eyes looked down at the head which was just as round as his other men and he wanted to kick it like earlier . Although the face was familiar, he couldn’t remember the name because this was not the usual guy he had by his side . And judging from what he said, he seemed like the closest aide to the fake bastard…
Was he a bastard who rose to success when Milliam began to imitate Lakis? That seemed very possible .
‘I suppose we have one thing in common . ’
After all, if Lakis was the one in the other position, he would never use an aide which had been touched by the fake bastard .
‘Just thinking of the fact that he worked for that bastard makes my insides burn . ’
In other words, the man standing in front of Lakis was surely going to cross the Jordan River sooner or later . [2]
“But I finished everything you ordered by this morning . Would you like me to give you a report now?”
The man who didn’t know that fact yet was drenched in cold sweat and snuck glances as he tried to grasp Lakis’ mood . But as soon as his eyes met Lakis’ frosty light blue eyes, he flinched and hurriedly lowered his head .
Lakis once again stared at the round head before him, then he curled his lips and smile .
“Alright . ”
His eyes shone coldly, like a frozen lake in winter .
“Let me hear it, this report of yours . ”
