Chapter 108

* * *

A faint noise knocked against her consciousness, waking her up.

“We could sell her for a good price.”

“Right, this much should be worth…”

The voices of unfamiliar men.

“I wonder what kind of luck this is?”

“Doesn’t she look like a noble Miss?”

“That’s even better. The higher the status, the more expensive they sell for.”

And hands groping her body.

At that unpleasant sensation, her mind snapped awake as if ice water had been poured over her. Dana lifted her heavy eyelids with all her strength.

“Oh? She opened her eyes.”

“Hello there, Miss?”

Who are these guys?

Dana blinked her dim eyes. Two unfamiliar men were looking down at her.

“Why were you sleeping in a place like this? It’s amazing you didn’t freeze to death.”

“You must have your circumstances, but come with us. We’ll listen to your story on the way.”

Dana quickly looked around without answering.

Inside the Mountain Lodge with bright morning sunlight pouring in. Neither the Royal Guard nor the Emperor were visible.

So that means…

‘The Emperor abandoned me and left?’

Dana clenched her fists.

‘That terrible man!’

Rage surged up within her.

She knew the Emperor disliked her. She was well aware that he despised the Windsor Family, who belonged to the New Church Faction.

‘But he promised!’

Even knowing she would faint, even knowing she would be left in a defenseless state, Dana had gathered all her strength to perform Purification.

It was because she trusted the Emperor’s promise not to leave her alone.

“Well then, let’s go.”

The man forcibly made Dana stand up.

‘Emperor, you bastard…’

Dizziness washed over her. Her condition was still at its worst, so she couldn’t even properly resist.

“Oh, she’s being obedient?”

“Right, we’re not such bad people.”

“We’ll sell you to a good place, so don’t worry.”

Dana was dragged along unsteadily. She had gotten that promise knowing this would happen, but Emperor, you bastard…

It was the moment they reached the Door.

Creak, the Door opened.

“Huh?”

The man holding her let out a dumbfounded voice. A very large man was standing there, silhouetted against the blinding sun.

“Who are you…”

It was the Emperor.

The Emperor frowned as he looked her over from head to toe, then reached out and pulled Dana toward him.

“Uh, urgh!”

The man who lost his grip on Dana let out a strange groan. He had been holding tight, but the difference in strength was overwhelming.

‘That hurts!’

And Dana grimaced. The Emperor pulled her so roughly that her face collided with his chest.

At that moment, flutter.

A Cloak blocked her vision.

The Emperor had wrapped his Cloak around her as if to hide her entire body.

“You, what are you—”

Then came the man’s flustered voice from beyond the Cloak.

That was the end.

The sound of something compressed exploding in an instant, the sound of some liquid and chunks being splattered loudly against the Wall struck her ears.

This is…

“Let’s go.”

The Emperor led her, wrapped in his Cloak, out of the Mountain Lodge. Only after the Mountain Lodge Door closed with a thud did he remove the Cloak.

Then the lingering scent of blood wafted over, making her skin crawl.

So, just now.

‘Just now… did he kill those people by making their bodies explode?’

It was chilling.

This was the first time she had actually witnessed the Special Abilities of the Grants Imperial Family that she had only heard about.

She had heard they each possessed different abilities, and that the Emperor could make anything he touched explode.

“Human trafficking can be subject to summary execution under national law.”

Perhaps sensing that she had frozen up, the Emperor spoke calmly.

“I merely acted according to the law.”

“…”

Dana swallowed with her dry throat.

Right, let’s not forget.

This person was the Inquisitor who had killed the most demon worshippers in history…

That aside.

“Your Majesty, where did you go?”

When she spoke with slight displeasure, the Emperor gestured.

“I was on my way back from taking the Royal Guard to a Physician in a Nearby Village.”

“…How was their condition?”

“Similar to your Secretary. They should regain consciousness soon and return on their own. Please mount.”

“…”

Riding a Horse together again. Dana felt gloomy in front of the massive Horse.

In this cold winter, having to ride a Horse again with this exhausted body.

‘I wish the Windsor Railway would be laid across the entire country soon.’

Then life would be more bearable.

* * *

This time, lacking even the strength to hold onto the Emperor’s waist, she sat in front of him.

‘I’m nervous…’

The Emperor made her uncomfortable. All her nerves were focused behind her, making her neck stiff and her shoulders ache.

Come to think of it, she had ridden a Horse like this with Karl Windsor before too.

When they were escaping from Kaltusa Territory.

Thinking back now, Karl seemed to have been incredibly considerate of her then. That’s probably why she felt so endlessly comfortable on the Horse at that time.

“The Scripture.”

Then the Emperor’s quiet voice fell from above her head.

“It was real, though.”

“Yes.”

“Are you aware that there are pages torn out from the middle?”

Of course I know, naturally.

‘I wondered why he wasn’t mentioning that.’

Several pages from the middle section of the scripture had been torn out.

And that section was.

“It happened to be the chapter where the story about Diana is described.”

The part where the story about the Moon God appears.

That chapter had been completely torn out.

“I didn’t tear it out, Your Majesty.”

“Is that so.”

He doesn’t believe me. But it’s true.

However, having no intention of pressing further, the Emperor said nothing more about the torn pages.

“Have you perhaps read the final chapter of the scripture?”

Instead, he asked a different question.

“No. That’s written in a language I don’t know.”

Why ask when you already know?

The final chapter of the scripture was written in an ancient language that not just anyone could learn.

The Pope and the Seven Cardinals.

It was a language passed down through generations only to them, like a hereditary legacy.

“A very strange story was written in the last chapter.”

“What was it?”

Dana listened intently.

However, the Emperor.

“….”

After a moment of silence, that was the end of it.

‘What?’

Why bring it up and not finish? Instead, he asked something else.

“Do you happen to know where the is located?”

Deflated, Dana weakly shook her head.

“No. I don’t know.”

Actually, she did know where the was located, but.

‘I don’t want to get involved with the Emperor anymore.’

This was far enough.

Opening the Sacred Court. The Emperor only needed her up to this point.

So she kept her mouth shut.

“Your Majesty, please proceed with opening the Sacred Court without Lyos knowing.”

If that guy found out, he might interfere. So it had to be opened secretly, as a surprise attack.

“I will do so.”

With that answer, the Emperor began riding his horse quickly again.

At that moment, she suddenly had an ominous premonition.

‘What if Lyos didn’t break his vow of chastity?’

Of course, that couldn’t be the case.

Lyos had countless times fallen asleep in the same bed with Alice, spent nights together, and she had even witnessed what appeared to be moments right after sexual intercourse.

But what if, just what if.

Lyos and Alice hadn’t gone all the way.

‘…Then there’s no choice.’

Dana let out a sigh.

Then there was only one method. She could lose her virginity first.

And then reveal it, prove it, and declare that the vow had been broken.

An engagement with a broken vow would no longer have any effect.

That would solve it.

‘It wouldn’t be bad to make a plan just in case.’

There was nothing wrong with being prepared.

If it really came to that, who should she do it with?

‘I don’t want to do it with some complete stranger.’

Dana seriously thought about the men around her.

Someone who could comfort her well when she was in pain.

A man who could do it gently and tenderly, yet skillfully, and preferably make her feel good too….

For a moment, the face of the kindest man she knew almost came to mind.

‘No.’

Dana desperately pushed it down.

‘No, no. That won’t do.’

Even if she didn’t know many men, still. Even if there was only one gentle man among them, still.

What was she supposed to do if such thoughts came up?

It was impossible from the start. Above all, it was disgusting just to think about.

Having shaken off her displeasure, Dana fell into thought again. Or would a complete stranger be better?

A hollow laugh escaped her. To think she was looking for a man to take her virginity. How absurd.

‘Surely not. That won’t happen.’

Lyos wasn’t impotent, and he had slept in the same bed with Alice several times.

There was no way nothing had happened.

‘So once the Sacred Court opens, I should be able to break off the engagement easily.’

Dana thought while suppressing her groans on the roughly swaying horse.

Now there really wasn’t much time left.
