Chapter 104
‘No. That can’t be right.’
Dana shook her head vigorously.
How could that be possible?
It must just be her imagination.
That everything would go as she wished—that was nothing more than the sweet lies Karl Windsor had been spouting all along.
‘Right. That money-obsessed bastard wouldn’t do such a thing. He wouldn’t have pushed forward with this business knowing it would fail.’
A man who was even planning to kill his nephew to seize his fortune wouldn’t do something so disadvantageous.
Dana steeled her resolve.
‘Don’t be fooled.’
That man’s kindness is all fake.
Don’t be swayed, don’t be shaken. Dana shook her head as if to dispel the warmth that had somehow crept into her breath.
‘Right. The very fact that I’m worrying about this means I’m being swayed.’
Surely, it couldn’t be possible, but.
Even if Karl Windsor knew everything she was thinking.
Still, there would be no disruption to the plan.
Karl Windsor had already bought Kaltusa Territory, was preparing for massive territorial development, and was getting ready to mine Retilan Mine.
He had already poured in not only his own fortune but also the investment money of many nobles.
‘Right. So even if he realized it now, it’s already too late.’
Dana desperately hoped.
For Karl Windsor to fall quickly, to be cast out from the Windsor Family. To disappear from before her eyes.
Stop making me so confused like this…
* * *
A week passed after that.
During that time, one letter came from Lyos.
[Where’s my thank-you gift?]
‘How ridiculous.’
What thank-you gift?
She heard he had given considerable support to the Windsor Family during the trial, but why was he making a big deal out of it?
‘He just protected his own pride, so what gratitude is he expecting?’
If he really wanted it, he should ask Viego Windsor—the head of the Windsor Family.
So she didn’t even reply.
Just as Noah Windsor’s murder case, which had caused such a stir in society, was gradually being forgotten.
“Miss, do you remember that girl?”
The Secretary came with news.
“Who?”
“The girl we brought from Kaltusa Territory.”
Ah.
Dana belatedly remembered that child. She was talking about the child who had almost been offered as a human sacrifice.
The Secretary held out some documents.
“These are the recent diagnosis results. She’s gradually improving and should recover to a level where she can communicate with others soon.”
“That’s good news.”
“Should I bring her when she recovers?”
“Yes. Please do that.”
Before leaving This World, it wouldn’t be bad to arrange for her to receive benefits from the Windsor Foundation.
The news of that day didn’t end there.
“Lady. Crown Prince has commanded your presence at the palace.”
Crown Prince’s Messenger had come.
“So please prepare yourself immediately.”
Dana was dumbfounded. Could this be revenge for not sending a thank-you gift?
“I’m sick and can’t go. I’ve been seriously ill recently.”
“This is Crown Prince’s command. Even if you’re bedridden, you must be bedridden after entering the palace.”
“…”
How annoying.
Dana reluctantly got up, unconsciously thinking.
‘Maybe she left because she hated this too.’
Even if she hadn’t noticed Lyos and Alice’s affair.
She might have left This World someday anyway, hating this—having to unconditionally submit to any command from royalty—the thought suddenly occurred to her.
* * *
“What’s this about all of a sudden?”
As soon as Dana entered Lyos’s Room, she demanded an answer.
“Please state your business.”
She skipped the greetings. She wanted to get on his bad side.
When she shot back so bluntly, Lyos, who had been sitting on the sofa smoking a cigar, furrowed his brow.
“It seems you’ve forgotten all the etiquette you learned in This World.”
“Unfortunately, that’s what happened.”
Dana rarely picked a fight first.
However, Lyos seemed to have no intention of fighting, as he obediently pointed to the sofa next to him.
“Sit.”
“…”
A wave of humiliation suddenly washed over her.
Come when called, sit when told.
Does he think I’m a pet?
“I don’t want to.”
“What?”
“I said I don’t want to sit. I’ll listen to what you have to say standing here.”
Lyos looked at her with an observing gaze and then asked bluntly.
“Are you throwing a tantrum right now?”
“…What did you say?”
“You can’t even give a thank-you gift, and now you’re just being spiteful.”
“…”
“Is this the price for saving your cute little brother?”
Don’t respond.
Curses and rebuttals formed at the tip of her tongue, but since she didn’t want to deal with him, she swallowed them down.
“Sit.”
Looking at her with disapproving eyes, Lyos commanded once more.
“Come next to me. And sit.”
“I don’t want to.”
“You seem to have no learning ability—I wasn’t asking for your opinion.”
“…”
“Sit down.”
At this point, she genuinely didn’t want to sit.
‘Absolutely not.’
The acting, lies, and fake compliant attitudes she easily displayed to others—these were impossible with Lyos.
She didn’t want to submit to him, even falsely.
“Your stubbornness is remarkable.”
Lyos chuckled and flicked his cigar into the ashtray. Then he stood up abruptly and strode over.
“Ah!”
He lifted her body up in his arms.
Startled, Dana instinctively grabbed his hair.
“Let go of me!”
Lyos seemed momentarily flustered by having his hair grabbed, but soon looked down at her with disbelief.
“You let go first. Do you realize you’re grabbing the Crown Prince’s hair right now?”
“Your Highness should let go first. I’ll let go if you put me down!”
“Ah, really? Then how about I count to three and we let go at the same time.”
Lyos spoke jokingly as he walked steadily forward. Then he stopped right in front of the sofa.
‘…What?’
Why isn’t he putting me down?
Wasn’t he doing this to force me to sit on the sofa?
However, Lyos stood frozen like a statue in front of the sofa, not moving. He just looked down at her with strange eyes. And then…
“…!”
He sat down on the sofa just like that.
When Lyos’s thigh touched her bottom, Dana was shocked. He had sat down while still holding her!
Was he doing this because she hadn’t let go of his hair?
Dana quickly released his black hair and tried to escape from his embrace, but.
“Let me go!”
Lyos remained frozen in the position of holding her, not moving at all.
His firm grip clearly conveyed his intention not to let her go, leaving Dana flustered.
What on earth is this man doing right now?
“What are you doing right now?”
“Good question.”
Lyos muttered with a confused expression, as if his mind couldn’t keep up with what his body was doing.
“I didn’t particularly plan to do this.”
“…”
“Somehow it ended up like this.”
What is he saying!
Dana wanted to get away from his firm chest that was pressed too close, so she squeezed her hand through the gap and pushed with all her strength.
“Please let me go, Your Highness. This isn’t proper.”
“You don’t show proper manners in front of me either, so why should I?”
“If you don’t let go, I’ll scream.”
“Who do you think will help you if you scream?”
Lyos sneered as if he found that amusing.
“This is the Imperial Palace, and my bedroom. And you’re my fiancée. Nothing that happens here would be strange. And without my permission, no one can enter…”
With each word Lyos spoke, his voice gradually gained heat. What seemed like mere teasing at first began to sound increasingly serious.
Could this man really be…!
“Think of Alice.”
Dana said urgently. Then Lyos replied calmly.
“Of course, I’m always thinking only of her.”
“I’ll tell Alice everything!”
“Go ahead. Alice will understand anything.”
“Lyos Grants, are you really insane?!”
Now Lyos didn’t answer.
Instead, he roughly grabbed her hair. His black eyes blazed like flames from the abyss. It was that gaze she had always found eerie.
The next moment, Lyos pulled Dana’s head toward him. Hot lips pressed together.
Since she had been prepared for this, Dana immediately bit down hard on his flesh.
“…!”
But Lyos didn’t pull away.
Even though his lip was torn, even though the metallic taste of blood was coating his tongue.
Rather, as if that became a strange amplifier, he pulled her waist close, pressing their chests together as he delved deeper.
