Chapter 103

 

 

 

“It seems Noah Windsor acted to protect his sister’s honor. Isn’t he the makings of a fine soldier?”

It was clear the Crown Prince was taking Windsor’s side.

And this held more powerful force than any law.

Bang bang bang!

The Chief Justice brought down his gavel.

“I sentence Noah Windsor to 3 years imprisonment!”

It was an excessively lenient punishment.

However, the bereaved families had to suppress their anger and resentment.

“You should be grateful that your sons are already dead.”

What their children had done could have brought great disaster upon their houses.

“If they were alive, you would have been charged for failing to properly educate your children.”

Lyos Grants sneered as he left the courtroom.

No noble filed an appeal.

 

* * *

 

“Well then, please prepare and come out.”

The soldier assigned to escort Noah Windsor to prison left the room.

He had given them a chance for final farewells.

Though the subject of those farewells was still asleep.

“….”

Noah Windsor carefully sat beside the bed. Dana was still suffering from high fever.

The day she had grabbed hold of him.

Dana had collapsed that day, they said. And she hadn’t been able to wake up for a week now.

‘In the end, I’m leaving without even saying goodbye.’

Her inability to wake was both fortunate and regrettable.

“I’ll see you in 3 years.”

Noah Windsor murmured toward her.

“By then I’ll be an adult too.”

He didn’t know why these words came out, but he really wanted to say them.

Yes.

He wanted to become an adult quickly.

While in prison, his elder brother had asked him.

Why he had done such a thing.

So Noah Windsor had answered.

That he wanted to kill the humans who insulted that woman.

Then his elder brother had said.

That he was immature. A child severely afflicted with the fever of adolescence.

‘Yes. That might be true.’

Noah Windsor looked down at Dana.

When would this thing called adolescence end?

When it ended, could he be freed from this torment? Would there be an end to this desire to monopolize your heart, this desire that had become twisted and warped because it couldn’t monopolize you?

‘I hope it ends.’

Now Noah Windsor knew. This heart would inevitably ruin him and ruin this woman.

So he hoped everything would end, or rather disappear, vanish from this world.

Noah Windsor desperately wished and wished again.

 

* * *

 

After that, Noah Windsor rode in a carriage for a long time.

The place where he would be imprisoned was a prison located on Kazta Island, a place for high-ranking nobles or royalty who had committed evil acts.

When he finally arrived at the port, Noah Windsor got out of the carriage.

And he stopped dead in his tracks.

“Why are you just standing there?”

“….”

Viego Windsor.

Because his elder brother was standing there.

“Why are you here, elder brother….”

“Follow me.”

He gestured with his head and took the lead. Noah Windsor was momentarily confused. Follow him?

But he was supposed to go to prison?

However, all the soldiers who had escorted him just stood there watching quietly. No one stopped Viego Windsor. They were even bowing their heads, unable to meet his eyes.

As if Viego Windsor were their king.

Noah Windsor felt a strange sense of unease as he followed his brother.

“Get on.”

The place Viego Windsor headed to was a large ship.

Noah Windsor instinctively realized.

This ship was not heading to Kazta Island.

“Where are you sending me?”

“At least it’s not prison. Your double will go there instead.”

“What?”

It was completely incomprehensible.

Viego Windsor gestured calmly behind Noah Windsor.

“The captain is coming just in time.”

Noah Windsor turned around. It was a young woman with a thin build and brown hair braided down.

The woman bowed.

“Hello, Noah Windsor. I’m the captain of the ship that will take you to the island.”

“Captain? You?”

“Yes.”

Smiling brightly, very brightly, the woman said.

“My name is Nettie.”

Noah Windsor looked at her with suspicious eyes before turning his gaze to Viego Windsor.

“Where am I going?”

“The place all Windsor men go.”

“What? Where is that?”

“Treasure Island.”

“…What?”

Treasure Island? Could it be that he was going to the Treasure Island that Father had discovered?

He knew the location? The navigation chart to Treasure Island was only with Dana, as far as he knew….

“In other words―”

Viego Windsor added slowly.

“It’s also called the Sanctuary.”

Sanctuary.

That place was Danae Windsor’s sanatorium.

“The Sanctuary was… Treasure Island?”

“That’s right.”

“No, what are you talking about? Danae Windsor, that woman’s sanctuary where she recuperated is Treasure Island— more than that, why should I go there?”

“….”

Viego stared at Noah intently without answering.

In an instant, chills ran down Noah’s spine. Viego Windsor’s face looking at him seemed more unfamiliar than ever.

Did Elder Brother always have such eyes?

“Noah Windsor.”

Then Viego grabbed Noah’s shoulder. He lowered his head. He whispered. Quietly.

“Now you need to become an adult too….”

You need to become a true Windsor.

Don’t you think so?

 

* * *

 

“Refrain from vigorous exercise, and start with light walks.”

The doctor earnestly advised.

“For now, only eat easily digestible food like rice porridge. You must still think of yourself as a patient.”

A patient.

Those words were right.

When Dana opened her eyes, she was extremely weakened. It was a natural result since she had been bedridden for a whole week.

‘This is the first time I’ve been this sick.’

The Time-Seeing Power— she had always been sick after using that ability she arbitrarily named ‘Divine Sight’, but this was the first time she was this ill.

‘I was able to use that ability without even touching the ground.’

Walking in the garden, Dana looked down at her hands.

Usually, she could only see when these hands touched the ground.

Without even touching the ground, I could see exactly the scene I wanted. As if….

‘Did I level up?’

Though tremendous stamina was lost as the price.

But what was the trigger?

What had happened recently that made the ability stronger?

“Dana!”

Then, a platinum-haired man came running urgently toward her. It was Karl.

“Dana, are you okay? I was just on my way to see you after hearing you woke up.”

Karl grabbed her cheeks and examined her, turning her face this way and that.

“Look how gaunt you’ve become. What should we do.”

“I’m fine. Thank you for worrying about me.”

“Oh my, you don’t know how shocked I was. Poor Dana, how can you be so fragile.”

After going on about his worry for her for a while, Karl cleared his throat and pointed to his cheek.

“Look here.”

There was a small scratch.

“I got hurt.”

“….”

“Good heavens. Don’t even mention it. That Billod Lancaster bastard was so vicious, I thought he was some kind of monster. I got trauma and now I don’t even want to go near the Great Cathedral.”

“I see.”

What nonsense….

The one suffering from trauma would definitely be Billod….

However, Dana looked up at him with worried eyes and gently touched the scratch on his cheek.

“It must have hurt. Are you okay now?”

As her fingertips touched him, Karl’s eyes curved gently.

“Yes.”

“….”

“I’m okay now.”

The sunlight caught in his golden eyelashes sparkled particularly brightly.

Karl Windsor was truly beautiful.

And terrible.

‘Crazy human.’

A monster wearing a seductive mask.

Dana was now truly afraid of Karl.

She couldn’t guess at all what was writhing inside this human’s head.

“How is the Retilan Mine progressing?”

It’s not like his guardian position is in danger.

There’s no need to let me use him to this extent.

But why is he going this far?

“Ah, that. Of course it’s going well.”

“Then could I invest as well?”

I can no longer understand Karl Windsor’s true intentions. That made her insanely anxious.

So she hoped he would disappear quickly. From before her eyes. From the Windsor Family.

So Dana decided to accelerate things.

“If I invest a large sum, other investors will follow. Then it would help Uncle with what you’re doing….”

Ah.

At that moment Dana’s lips stiffened.

Bitterness— such a bitter emotion had risen on Karl’s face.

“If that’s what you want, then do so.”

However, that was only for an instant, brief enough to dismiss as a mistake.

Karl smiled affectionately again.

“You can do anything you want.”

Gently brushing back her pure white hair, he said.

“Everything will go as you wish.”

She didn’t know what conversation they had after that.

Karl left, and Dana stood there blankly before starting her walk again.

However, she stopped after taking only a few steps.

‘Could it be.’

Something like an ominous premonition scratched at the back of her head.

‘Could it be that he knows?’

That the Retilan Mine is practically fake.

That Windsor Railway will not be laid in Kaltusa Territory.

Therefore, the mine excavation and territory development project he’s pushing will completely fail, and not only him but all those who invested in him will go bankrupt.

Does he know?

Even knowing that—

 

“Everything will go as you wish.”

 

Are you saying you’ll be ruined as I desire?
