Surviving As The Villainess
Chapter 119 - Meet Lucas

"Goodbye to your graduates, seniors."

Liyuna and Lucas were currently sitting opposite each other inside a restaurant. The two send each other messages and make an appointment to meet.

"Thank you." Lucas replies while sipping the caramel macchiato he ordered.

A while ago, Liyuna and Yuriel spent some time together. They swim in the pool at home while drinking soda provided by the waiter at home.

Then, Yvette suddenly called and connected the phone with Allen so that the four of them talked for quite a while.

When Liyuna had finished her bath and was about to rest, Lucas sent a message saying he wanted to meet.

Liyuna, who had not seen him for a long time, agreed to Lucas' offer. The two decided to meet at a restaurant not far from the Castris residence because Liyuna was not allowed to go far from the Castris residence.

Liyuna herself actually wanted to take Yuriel along but she refused for some reason. It's probably because Yuriel and Lucas weren't close enough.

"How's senior doing?"

"I'm fine." Lucas answered, his lips forming a crescent moon, adding a charming impression to his face.

There was a reason why Liyuna asked Lucas.

One of them was because they had not met for the past few months.

Liyuna did not remember exactly when, but Lucas was difficult to meet since a few months ago. Yeah, it seems like ever since he ditched that one time. Even at the ceremony to the graduates, Lucas did not come so as to make Liyuna and the others feel a little disappointed.

"I'll be back in Russia soon."

Lucas' words felt like lightning striking during the day.

Liyuna looked at Lucas with a look of disbelief but when their eyes met, Liyuna knew that Lucas was not lying.

Yeah, this is what Lucas is like. Come and go as he pleases.

At least, this time he said it directly to Liyuna. Not like the old days that suddenly disappeared.

"Why? Though senior just returned to Elishien."

"My mom wants me back."

Liyuna could not reply if Lucas said the word 'Mother'. How could he retaliate? Liyuna was just a stranger who knew nothing.

"When will the senior return?"

Lucas fell silent, his eyes darkening as if he knew that this time he would not be able to come quickly.

Actually, Lucas is currently feeling very angry and upset because his mother broke her promise.

He had previously given Lucas the conditions to return to Elisien, but this time he reneged on his promise.

How could he want to pull Lucas back to Russia after allowing him to come to Elishien?!

Lucas could not protest.

"I don't know, I wish I could come back soon."

"If all the senior's business is done. Come back to Elisien. Everyone will be looking forward to your arrival."

Lucas smiled brightly, "Of course."

The two talked about everyday problems until Lucas realized something.

"Where's Yuriel?"

"Ah, he said he couldn't come."

"Tumben once, usually the kid always sticks to you."

Liyuna laughed a little at Lucas' words.

Despite being curious about Yuriel's whereabouts, Lucas did not give much thought to her. He also has his own problems.

Right now all he has to do is return to Russia and free Hajun.

Lucas never thought that his mother would capture Hajun and take him prisoner. When he recalled the events from a while ago, Lucas was upset and angry.

This time he will settle his affairs in Russia and free Hajun from his mother's hands.

Although that meant he would not be able to return to Elisien.

Yuriel is seen standing in front of Karl who is sitting at his desk. As usual, Karl wore reading glasses while at work, adding to the impression of a learned person.

"He went to a restaurant near the mansion to meet with his seniors at school." Yuriel explained.

"What's his name?"

"Lucas Obelian."

Karl raised his head and looked at Yuriel who was standing before him.

As if remembering something, Karl then asked.

"You mean Lucas Alexei Obelian?"

Yuriel was seen raising her eyebrows, not knowing who Karl meant.

"No, as far as I'm concerned it's just Lucas Obelian."

Hearing Yuriel's reply, Karl grew more and more convinced of what he was thinking.

Lucas Alexei Obelian is a name Karl often hears and Karl believes Lucas whom Yuriel means is the same Lucas he had in mind.

A few years ago, news of the success of Obelian's Circle came to the fore and Lucas Alexei Obelian's name was predicted as the strongest candidate to win.

Karl as one of the rulers in the business world certainly knows about the validity of the news. Especially as one of the people who use the services of the company, it is impossible for Karl not to know.

The thing that makes him a little surprised is his daughter who turns out to know the mysterious figure of Lucas. He never knew that his daughter knew one of Obelian's Circle's successful candidates.

"When did they know each other?"

"Sir Yuna said, they've known each other since Elementary School."

Karl was again surprised by the truth that had just been revealed. If they've known since SD, isn't that a long time?

When Karl's mind began to sink into a question, he suddenly recalled what happened a few years ago.

It was the first time Liyuna had asked for permission to leave without being escorted by Noel. Yes, at that time Liyuna just wanted to be escorted to the station and go for a walk with her friend.

'Was that time the friend Yuna meant was Lucas?'

Karl tried to put the matter aside. The reason he had summoned Yuriel here was not to discuss it.

There was another important thing he wanted to talk to Yuriel about.

"As you know, Eldo Ravenray's accident was caused by Cerberus."

Karl took a few piles of documents and he gave them to Yuriel. When the document was in Yuriel's hands, he read it straight from the first page.

"The reason is very clear, Eldo is trying to trace their whereabouts and has conducted a serious investigation."

Yuriel just kept quiet and listened. After all, Eldo's death was something that was inevitable.

In any timeline, Eldo always ends in death. Almera and Liyuna.

"Eldo is a stubborn man. No matter how hard I prevent it, he won't listen to me."

"That's something that can't be avoided isn't it?"

"..."

"If what happened to Eldo happened to uncle, surely you would do the same, right? Because what Cerberus killed was not someone Eldo didn't know but someone he loved and cared about."

This time it was Charles who was silent at Yuriel's words. What Yuriel said was the truth.

He did this kind of disgusting thing for his family, for Liyuna and also for Sara. Karl himself did not care what he would become if it could protect his family.

He doesn't care about being a monster or a bad person. For Karl, Sara and Liyuna were the last treasures he had to protect.

Karl himself was aware that he had done something evil to Yuriel but, what was more, that was the last thing Karl could do. There was nothing left that could connect him to Cerberus other than the girl.

"Uncle, if everything Uncle wants to say is done. I'll pull myself out first." Yuriel went out of Karl's room with the documents he had been given.

Click...

Sound of door closed.

Yuriel stood for a while in front of Karl's room and finally decided to leave.
