***Major spoilers for Azran Legacy! Hey ya'll :) Okay, just to be clear, this story has nothing to do with the others I have written :D
Also, Azran Legacy's ending that says Descole and Layton are brothers isn't cannon in this story! Just because :) Have fun reading!
He had been living two different lives. At night, he was known as Descole; the inspiring criminal everyone in London feared. But in the day, he was just a regular professor called Sycamore that worked at Gressenheller University. (The University was where he had met his best friend Hershel Layton). Nobody knew that Sycamore and Descole was the same person except for himself. It was the perfect disguise. You may ask 'Why would a super-criminal dress up as a professor?' Whatever to pay the bills, I suppose.
But on what was supposed to be the biggest night of his life, something dared to put a stop to Descole's scheme - A distorted pinkish line took up most of the left side of Descole's face. It had been a result of his latest, most daring bank robbery yet. It had taken place a few days back, but the scar hadn't fully healed. How could he go out in public like this? Let alone meet the professor. His cover would be blown if would have stepped outside, he was sure of it. But he had promised this day to Layton. The couple had not seen each other in weeks; Layton, busy with grading papers, and Descole, well you know robbing banks and such. Descole had even reserved dinner for the two at the fanciest, not to mention most expensive, restaurant available in London. Yeah, that bank robbery was needed to pay for all of that fancy French bread.
"How could I have been so careless?" Descole muttered to himself as he tried to cover the aching scar found on his face with anything he could find. "No matter, I promised to Layton that this was our night."
Descole slowly opened his closet door in which revealed his Sycamore disguise neatly placed inside. He sighed, once again reminded that one day the truth would come to Layton. What would happen then? Would Layton still care for him; knowing that Sycamore was actually his greatest enemy? The truth was soon to be revealed...
