Chapter 1
“Don’t go!”
At last, the Dimensional Gate had opened.
Finally, I could return to my original world.
“Don’t go, Dana.”
But my feet wouldn’t move.
This was the moment I had waited for so long. Finally, the chance to return to my real body…
“Please, don’t leave.”
Because of this man, I couldn’t bring myself to turn away.
“Lyos.”
Dana smiled bitterly.
“Let me go. You promised you would let me go.”
“No, I can’t. I absolutely can’t do it.”
The muscles in Lyos’s cheek twitched with pain.
“If you leave like this, we’ll be separated forever. You won’t exist in my world anymore.”
“Lyos.”
“On this earth, under this sky, when I think that you won’t be here, when I think that… I feel like I’ll go insane. It’s too painful…”
Soon, moisture gathered in Lyos’s dark eyes.
“I can’t breathe, Dana.”
A single tear rolled down his cheek.
I wanted to wipe away that tear.
But…
‘The Dimensional Gate is gradually closing.’
So I had to go quickly.
To the real world, to my real body.
‘That’s right. This isn’t my body.’
Was it fate’s cruel joke?
Three years had already passed since I possessed the body of a woman with a similar name.
Danae Windsor.
The young lady of House of Duke Windsor.
Living in this body for three years, I met so many people, had many experiences, and—
“Don’t leave me behind, Dana.”
And I found a man to love.
“Please stay by my side. Please.”
Dana smiled with difficulty as she comforted the clinging man.
“Lyos, there’s nothing left for me to do in this world. So, I must go now…”
“I don’t care about that!”
Lyos grabbed her and shouted desperately.
“I’ve never loved anyone but you in my entire life. You’re my only love. How can you tell me to live without you!”
Me too.
You’re my only love as well.
Dana swallowed those words.
Because they were words she couldn’t take responsibility for. Because she didn’t want to give up Yeon Dana’s life.
‘That’s right, it’s my life. How can I give that up?’
As Yeon Dana, she had lived so fiercely. So much so that she had obtained everything she had set as her goal.
How could she easily throw away such a life?
But.
“I know it’s shameless. I know that once this Dimensional Gate closes, it won’t open again for another hundred years. I know, but…”
Lyos swallowed and tears streamed down his face.
“I can’t live without you, Dana.”
That sight was so heartbreaking.
Dana felt pain as if her heart was being crushed.
Could I really abandon Lyos, who was pleading like this, and leave? Could I live happily in my world after doing so?
That’s when it happened.
“Sister Dana!”
A woman came running into the Temple. It was Alice, Danae Windsor’s cousin.
“Sister, don’t go!”
Alice gasped and wailed.
“Sister, please, okay? Please don’t go! I’m begging you, okay?”
It wasn’t just Alice.
“Dana, don’t leave!”
Even Uncle…
“Don’t go, Dana! Where are you going, leaving us behind!”
“…Uncle. Alice.”
“I think of you as family. How can you leave your family behind? Please stay in this world, won’t you?”
How did they find out and come here?
I never told anyone where the Dimensional Gate would open…
“Dana.”
Following them, my cousin Lumiere also entered the Temple.
“Do you really have to go?”
“Brother Lumiere.”
“Won’t you stay in this world, please? I’ll be terribly sad if you leave…”
At Lumiere’s words, Dana smiled sadly.
People who accepted her even knowing she was a possessor.
Dana truly loved them all, but.
“I’m sorry. I have to leave. This isn’t my world.”
That was one thing, and this was another.
It was sad, but now it was time to part.
“Everyone, take care. I…”
At that moment, Dana’s words were cut short.
Lyos had collapsed to his knees as if crumbling!
“Lyos!”
“Dana, please don’t abandon me.”
“Lyos, get up, quickly!”
“Don’t go. A life without you is no different from death to me. Please don’t kill me. Please, please.”
Dana closed her eyes tightly and sighed.
Ah, really…
“…Get up.”
I can’t do it.
Really, I can’t do it anymore.
The sight of my loved ones in pain. Crying. I can’t bear it.
“I won’t go.”
Lyos jerked his head up.
“What did you say?”
“You didn’t hear wrong. So hurry up and get—”
“Dana!”
The next moment, Lyos jumped up. He frantically pressed his lips to her forehead, nose bridge, and cheeks.
“Dana, Dana, Dana!”
In that instant, Dana made a resolution.
‘Yes, I’ll stay here.’
I can’t bear to hurt the people I love.
So let me live in this world. Let me give up Yeon Dana’s life.
“I have a condition.”
Dana said, turning away from the gradually fading Dimensional Gate.
“Lyos, I told you before, didn’t I? That I came from a world where monogamy is common sense.”
“Of course. I remember everything you said.”
“I absolutely cannot tolerate having multiple wives like other men in this world. Can you swear to it?”
“I swear to God.”
Lyos cupped her cheeks with both hands. He smiled as brightly as the sun.
“You’re the only one for me.”
His wavering eyes were so passionate. So tender.
The whole world seemed to belong to them.
Even the air was sweet, as if this moment was everything.
“I love you, Dana.”
“I love you too.”
That day, Dana gave up returning to her original world.
It was three years ago.
* * *
Three years later.
What is this?
Dana frowned.
Among the letters that came to her, there was something very strange mixed in.
‘Who sent this?’
The sender was anonymous, and moreover, there was an absurd sentence written on the envelope.
‘?’
Dana chuckled.
My fiancé having a new lover? That’s impossible.
It seems this world has prank letters too. Or it could be someone’s scheme.
‘Well, people are the same everywhere.’
Already three years.
Three years had already passed since she agonized in front of the Dimensional Gate and ultimately chose the people she loved.
For the past three years, Dana had lived happily. She was very satisfied with this life.
Of course, there were occasionally uncomfortable moments…
“Danae Windsor.”
Yes, just like right now.
Dana held her breath. Then slowly turned to look beside her.
When had he approached?
Right next to her stood a man with slicked-back platinum hair, holding a whiskey glass while looking down at her.
When their eyes met—his green eyes—her neck tensed involuntarily.
That man was one of the most difficult people in this world.
‘Yes, I’m mostly happy except for moments like right now…’
His name was Viego Windsor.
The biological older brother of ‘Danae,’ the body that Dana had possessed.
And he was one of the family members who disapproved of her taking over Danae Windsor’s body.
“Yes, brother.”
He glanced down slightly to look at the desk.
“What’s that.”
“Pardon?”
“That letter.”
“Oh, this? Someone seems to have sent a prank letter.”
“Why don’t you check it.”
“Pardon?”
Dana was startled.
Why is he interfering?
He’s someone who never talks about private matters?
When she looked up with puzzled eyes, he answered stiffly.
“Check that letter.”
His voice carried the hot scent of whiskey.
That was strange.
Whiskey? This is the first time I’ve seen brother drinking during work…
“Yes, I’ll do that. Later when work is finished—”
“Let’s stop here for today.”
“Pardon?”
With those words, brother Viego left the office.
‘…Ending already? Really?’
Dana helped with Viego’s work as Duke Windsor once a week.
After he noticed that she was much stronger at mathematics than people in this world, he began using her for tasks requiring numbers.
It was just menial work, but ending here? That workaholic tyrant brother?
‘Fine by me.’
Dana hummed while tearing open the letter envelope.
Then she stopped abruptly.
Inside the envelope was a photograph.
“…”
In the black and white photograph.
Lyos was kissing a woman.
A woman with long straight hair, shown only from behind.
‘Is this… me?’
No… it’s not me?
Because I, Danae, have curly hair…
‘Then who is this?’
Her hands trembled. Dana exhaled in broken breaths and slowly turned to the next page.
There was a message card.
[If you go to Lyos Grants’ office right now]
[You can witness the scene of adultery.]
* * *
Dana immediately went to Lyos’ office.
“Lady Danae Windsor, what brings you here!”
The startled Royal Guard blocked her path. Dana said breathlessly, her breath coming in hot gasps.
“I came to see Lyos.”
“His Highness is not here right now!”
“What did you say?”
“Right now, His Highness the Crown Prince is! Not! Inside!”
What? Why is he speaking so loudly?
No, more importantly.
Why is he lying?
“Then whose guard are you standing right now?”
“…!”
“You’re His Highness the Crown Prince’s Royal Guard, aren’t you?”
The moment the Royal Guard was left speechless, Dana forcibly pushed past his body and rushed inside.
And.
“…!”
She witnessed it clearly with her own two eyes.
