Chereads / Ultimate Throne / Chapter 121 - Love, Lies And Ambition.

Chapter 121 - Love, Lies And Ambition.

Lisa Teno, a nineteen-year-old girl, hides under many names to conceal her true self. To make her small lie even more believable, she transforms herself into a man, thanks to her ability that allows her to take any appearance granted by the Virgo chameleon.

This ability led her to switch identities with Bruno, an unlucky adventurer, during the prison entrance exam. Because of this, even the World Government and the appraisal gift do not know her true name.

She kept a low profile in the Galactic Prison as she calculated how to escape, but by a twist of fate, another group of newbies was trying to flee.

She knew she had to seize this opportunity and ended up getting mixed up with the other inmates rushing to the X-Block, the only place leading to the upper floors where the exit is located.

However, how could she, the wise shapeshifter, be mixed up with a bunch of useless people? She transformed into a bird and used her aerial advantage to fly to the third floor, where she met Tito.

He was an odd fellow, appearing calmer than anyone else in the Galactic Prison. This made her conclude that he must know the way out, and he did.

Instead of following the footbridge on the fifth floor, all one needed to do was break the windows on the third floor, and the path to freedom would be open.

As Tito ventured into the metropolitan city near the prison, she thought he might have a way to navigate this world, but he didn't. He asked the people on the street for directions to the nearest university on the Southern continent.

When he heard the name Passion University, the first thing he did was dye his hair white and steal an earpiece from one of the locals before using it to fill out a fake application form.

Lisa was bewildered by this man's actions. She had never seen someone so thorough before. It was as if he could foresee the future, as he made sure to erase all traces of his presence, even by killing the people he asked for directions.

The only mistake he made was not noticing the sparrow that kept following him.

When he took the train to Avondale City, the Galactic Prison exploded, and, like everyone else, Tito seemed shocked out of his mind.

Lisa could tell that, just like her, he hadn't expected such an event.

After exchanging a few words with the passengers and blending in seamlessly, Tito appeared just like an ordinary Ablaufian, which made Lisa even more intrigued by him. She had never seen someone who could adapt so quickly.

That evening, when he arrived in Avondale City, Tito submitted his application form at Passion University. Thanks to the staff already being short-handed, he got the job as a history professor, as the person who held that position suddenly resigned for reasons unknown to her.

For an entire week, she observed Tito, now called Professor Tom Chris at the university. He always adhered to the rules and excelled at his work, not to mention he made minor mistakes like any new professor, allowing him to blend in perfectly.

However, Lisa noticed that Tito wasn't planning to leave. He had become attracted to Professor Dyke Lee. Not only that, but Lisa could tell that this attraction was romantic.

She couldn't let Tito be taken away by this professor; Lisa needed him for her plan to obtain the Ultimate Throne. Tito Roux Z was a valuable chess piece, like the queen, which could determine the game's fate.

Lisa snuck into Dyke Lee's bedroom and burned him to death, erasing all traces of evidence, before transforming her body to resemble him.

Over the past few weeks, she had been using Dyke's appearance to seduce Tito, and it seemed to work. She could tell that Tito was a ripe vegetable, as he had never had the chance to express his feelings due to his attraction to the same gender.

When she discovered Tito's bounty, she couldn't help but like him even more. A person with such skills would only enhance her team's wealth.

Tito was shy and seemed more of a dandere. Unable to contain herself any longer, she forced Tito to act by claiming that Dyke (she) liked him, in a yandere style.

Now she stood on the balcony of the chemistry lab, gazing at the large sports fields with anticipation in her eyes. Whenever the wind blew tree leaves into her face, she couldn't help but ponder.

'Is Tito going to show up?'

'Did I act too much out of character? What if he figures out that I am not the real Dyke?'

The fact that she knew his real identity was the only thing that kept her calm. If Tito reported that she was not Dyke to the military police, then she would also sell him out.

Patiently waiting, she observed the university students playing around in the various sports fields. Lovers could be seen sitting at the edge of the fields, some of them exchanging kisses.

This was how a normal teenager's life should be, but Lisa didn't feel one bit jealous of these punks. Once she got hold of the Ultimate Throne, everything in Ablauf would be at her mercy. She would have enough power to destroy other planets.

Kukukuku...

"Dyke, have you been waiting for too long?"

Lisa couldn't help but curl her lips in amazement when she heard that desperate, smoky voice. With this, she confirmed that Tom was not in disguise, so she didn't turn back to look at him.

"Tsk, is this the time we agreed upon for our meeting?"

"No." Tom's voice was full of pleading and sorrow. "Please understand, Dyke, this was something difficult for me to do."

Dyke's voice was harsher, "What is so difficult about saying yes or no?"

"It is not always about that!"

"Then what is it?" Before Tom could reply, the orange-haired man cut him off, "Forget it, tsk. I can't believe I wasted my time coming here. Don't talk to me ever again."

Seeing the man in the orange coat slowly walk away from him without even receiving a single glance, Tom's face cringed, and painful tears began to escape.

"Dyke, please wait! Just hear me out for a second!" Tom called out, his voice full of desperation. Seeing no reply, he decided to let the cat out of the bag, "I am the wanted criminal Tito Roux Z!"

'Got you!' Dyke halted his steps. An evil grin spread across his face as he patiently awaited the next words from Tito.

"You said you liked someone who always tells the truth, and there you have it! Yes, I killed people to work here, but I would rather be killed than lose you, Dyke! So just for a single day! No, hour!

Can you be my boyfriend?"

Lisa wiped away her evil grin; she knew that if she kept playing hard to get, things would escalate further, as Tito might resort to force.

Seeing Tom's sad face drenched in tears, she felt a little pain in her heart, but for the sake of her goals, she had to use Tito.

She walked over to him and wiped his tears away. "Don't worry, Tom, I won't expose you to the military or noble knights. What I am interested in is you, not your past. Together, we can create a bright future."
