Chapter 112

That night.

Karl came out of Sandra’s guest room completely drained of energy.

The moment he closed the door, he heard something shatter loudly. Crash!

“Let’s just get divorced! If you won’t cut ties with Windsor and defect to Roland, then let’s get divorced!”

They had fought like that for several hours straight.

No, it wasn’t even a fight. He had just listened to complaints pouring down on him like a bombardment.

‘Is she serious?’

Does she really want a divorce? What would be the best thing to do for her…?

Karl pondered deeply about the future. But he soon realized that he had been given a task far more important than his future with Sandra.

His role as Dana’s counselor.

‘Oh no. This is serious.’

That timid girl must be anxious and restless after receiving a threatening letter. I need to hurry and reassure her.

He hurried into his guest room and changed his clothes.

‘Hmm?’

As he buttoned his shirt, he realized.

‘Someone had been in here.’

They had even stolen some of his personal items.

The intruder had cleaned up neatly, but Karl remembered every single angle of his belongings that had been slightly disturbed.

‘But that’s not what’s important right now.’

Dana was waiting for him.

Karl hummed as he adjusted his appearance and swept back his hair.

After checking that his reflection in the mirror was perfect, he hurried toward the first class lounge.

“Oh my, it’s Karl.”

“Come over here and play a card game with us.”

Declining the people who clung to him with appropriate nods, he pushed through the crowd.

‘Dana, Dana, Dana, Dana, Dana.’

Where is she? Where is she? Where are you?

Dana must be waiting for me desperately. I need to hurry and be by her side—

That was the moment.

“Ahaha.”

From somewhere, laughter like a flower bud bursting open rang in his ears.

As if enchanted, Karl turned around.

This voice belongs to Dana?

‘No, that can’t be.’

There’s no reason for Dana to laugh like this with anyone other than me on this passenger ship.

But it really was Dana. Dana in a dazzling silver cocktail dress…

She was smiling.

Brightly and radiantly, as pretty as a flower.

* * *

A dinner party for first class passengers.

Dana had a very enjoyable time with Lumiere. Laughing, chatting, and drinking like old times.

Lumiere also seemed very happy.

“Is it because of the Crown Prince?”

But she wasn’t fooled.

“I mean, the way you’re being so nice to me.”

As the party was winding down, Lumiere asked.

“Are you doing this to show off to the Crown Prince?”

At those words, Dana was genuinely dumbfounded.

“What do you mean?”

“What do you mean what do I mean. You’re being too kind to me today.”

“Pardon?”

“Dana, you hate me.”

He was annoyingly perceptive. And he was rarely fooled.

“Because I treated you badly.”

At those words, Dana was inwardly surprised.

So he does know.

Like Alice, I thought he wasn’t even aware that he had been mean.

So he knew full well and still did it?

That was equally infuriating, making her blood boil. The more angry she became, the more deeply Dana smiled.

Anger was a very good driving force.

“Then will you apologize?”

“What happens if I apologize?”

“We go back to how things used to be.”

“By the old days, you mean when you followed me around like a real older brother?”

“Yes.”

Haha, Lumiere let out a dry laugh. His face smiling brightly under the lights looked quite handsome.

“I don’t want to.”

“Pardon?”

“I said I don’t want to.”

“…”

At that moment, Dana felt the temperature of the air around Lumiere drop sharply. So she naturally realized.

That until just now, Lumiere’s world had been filled with sweet warmth.

And now, she had completely trampled his mood into the mud.

‘Why? How come?’

What did I do wrong?

She was so flabbergasted that she couldn’t even get angry.

Rather, it was Lumiere who had put her in a bad mood, so why was he the one showing displeasure?

That’s when it happened.

“Eek!”

Something bumped into her from behind. Then it spilled something on her skirt.

“S-sorry! Sister, are you okay?”

It was Alice.

Alice had spilled wine on her clothes. The silver dress was instantly stained bright red.

“Oh dear. You should have been careful.”

Then Lyos looked at her as if she were pathetic and clicked his tongue.

“Your vision must be blocked because you’re distracted by men, Danae Windsor. Why don’t you watch where you’re going?”

Distracted by men? Me?

“I was watching where I was going properly, Your Highness. Unfortunately, I don’t have eyes on the back of my head.”

When she retorted irritably, Alice hurriedly stepped forward.

“I-I’m fine. Please don’t scold her too much, Your Highness.”

“You’re so kind, really.”

Lyos glared at Dana sharply with a reproachful gaze, then eventually embraced the flustered Alice.

“Let’s go, Alice.”

“Yes.”

Alice glanced at Dana briefly, but soon walked away leisurely with a smiling face, leaning into Lyos’s embrace.

Dana glared at the backs of the cockroach-like couple. She felt like spraying insecticide at the back of their heads. What kind of sudden misfortune was this!

“You look a mess. Why don’t you go wash up?”

Lumiere sighed and offered her a handkerchief. However, this wasn’t something that could be solved with a handkerchief.

“Yes. I’ll be back in a moment.”

“That would be best.”

Lumiere’s voice was gentle as he spoke, but his red eyes were still filled with coldness.

Dana didn’t even want to know why he was in such a bad mood.

* * *

‘Was that natural?’

Thump thump. Alice’s heart was racing.

Spilling wine on Dana’s clothes just now was intentional!

Because.

“We need to take this opportunity to properly crush her spirit.”

Miona had advised her just a little while ago!

“Spill wine on Dana’s dress at the party. Make her go to the bathroom alone.”

“W-would that really help?”

Wouldn’t spilling wine be a bit childish? When she expressed doubt, Miona became serious and got angry.

“A-are you doubting me?! Don’t tell me you think I have ulterior motives right now?!”

“It’s not that, but…”

“Humiliate her with this opportunity. There’s no one who will take her side anyway!”

She thought it was advice that didn’t seem like Miona, but still.

‘Miona has been acting a bit strange lately. But still, following Miona’s advice has never turned out badly…’

Miona’s somehow suspicious face bothered her, but still.

‘Well, it is a bit satisfying.’

Seeing her sister’s pitiful figure leaving the banquet hall alone.

Her mood improved a little.

* * *

Dana headed to the women’s bathroom closest to the banquet hall.

Whoosh. Water poured out when she turned on the faucet. Dana dampened her handkerchief with water and roughly wiped the wine from her skirt.

It was a little better than before, but.

‘Maybe I should change clothes.’

Right. Let’s go to the guest room and change completely.

Dana sighed. Suddenly, fatigue washed over her.

Lumiere really was difficult to deal with.

How had she treated him so comfortably before? Back then, he had been endlessly kind, like a real older brother.

‘And when will Lyos and Alice get off?’

She hoped they would arrive at the stopover soon.

Being in the same space as Lyos and Alice was unbearable…

“It won’t come off?”

That’s when it happened.

“Should I wash it for you?”

Goosebumps instantly rose along her neck.

“Take off your clothes.”

A worriedly concerned, exaggerated voice.

This voice was…

Dana was seized by déjà vu and slowly raised her head. And the moment she faced the mirror.

“Hurry up and take them off.”

In the mirror.

Like a ghost, her eyes met with a large man standing behind her.

“Or should I take them off for you?”

“…!”

Without even a chance to scream, the man reached out his hand. He grabbed her body and immediately covered her mouth.

“Ah, I finally caught you. Do you know how much I wanted to see you?”

As if he had been waiting for this moment, she could feel a strange thrill flowing from him. Dana struggled, but his steel-like arms didn’t budge.

“Why? Didn’t you expect me to come?”

Let go of me!

She kicked his shin with her boot, but he didn’t seem to be in pain as he chuckled. Rather, that action seemed to excite him more.

“I told you back then. To wait for me.”

Ignis roughly grabbed her face and lifted it up. His fierce eyes flashed with ecstasy.

“I came to propose.”
