Chapter 114

 

 

 

In the first place, the reason he pulled me from that passenger ship must be because he has business with me.

At least until that business is finished, he plans to keep me alive.

“Crazy bitch.”

As expected, Ignis roughly threw the blanket that had been crumpled in the corner at her.

“Do you think you can swim all the way to that ship? You stupid fool, did you have rocks for brains despite looking smart?”

“…old.”

“What?”

“C-cold.”

Dana pleaded in a thin, trembling voice.

“P-please hold me.”

“…”

“H-hold, hold me. I’m so cold I think I’ll die.”

Then Ignis let out a hollow laugh as if he couldn’t believe it.

“What a funny bitch. Did you think the winter night sea would be like a hot spring?”

Crazy bitch, insane woman.

Ignis said this while ignoring Dana.

However, when Dana really looked like she was about to die, he finally cursed and pulled her toward him.

“Don’t get the wrong idea, Danae Windsor. After I take over your vault, I’ll throw you into that sea just the same.”

I’m sure you will…

Dana trembled as she burrowed into Ignis’s embrace. She hugged him tightly around the waist. Like a baby bird desperately seeking its mother, it was a frantic gesture.

Slowly, his body heat was transmitted to her. Now she felt like she might live a little.

“Lord Ignis.”

“Shut up, Saint.”

Ignis let out an annoyed sigh.

“Keep your mouth shut before I throw you back into the sea. Please.”

“Really, are you going to kill me too?”

“Why are you asking something so obvious, pretty girl. Of course you have to die soon too.”

Ignis snorted.

“First I’ll take over your vault. Then I’ll torment you so much you’ll beg me to kill you instead.”

“R-really?”

“Yes. So look forward to it.”

Ignis, who spoke threateningly, hugged her tightly.

“Ever since the day you screwed me over, I’ve been living thinking only about ruining your life.”

A voice like spitting scattered from above her head.

“I’m going to kill you very cruelly, so know that.”

Dana let out a bitter laugh.

Yes, of course.

Of course you would…

“Thank you.”

“What?”

“For telling me that.”

Fortunately, I won’t need to feel any guilt.

Dana clicked and aimed the gun barrel at Ignis’s temple.

Red eyes met hers for an instant.

“You…”

That was the last.

Bang!

Blood spurted from Ignis’s head, and his body collapsed with a thud.

Bang bang bang!

Dana continued firing toward his head. How many bullets did she pump into him?

Now Ignis wasn’t moving.

He just lay there staring blankly at the sky with his head completely shattered.

Dana approached and checked his breathing.

He wasn’t breathing.

He was dead.

It was a natural result. No matter how ghostly his recovery ability, his head was destroyed.

‘What. It’s surprisingly easy.’

It seems the Empire’s security is a mess.

Seeing how they couldn’t even protect one insignificant human and let him escape.

‘He’s such a pathetic human that he didn’t even notice me stealing the gun from his waist, yet they couldn’t catch one person like this and went through all that trouble.’

Dana deliberately hardened her heart.

Ignis was a kidnapper and a terrorist who planned mass murder. She didn’t want to feel guilt toward such a bastard.

So without even glancing at his gruesome corpse, she hurriedly grabbed the oar.

She had to return to the Diana quickly.

Before the bomb exploded, before people died. And above all.

‘Karl has the Deputy Head’s ring, the sacred relic.’

It would be very troublesome if that person fell into the sea and died.

Even if he died, she had to find at least his corpse.

If Karl sank with the ship, how could she find his body in this vast and deep seabed?

If she lost the sacred relic, she’d have to live in this world until she died.

She had to avoid that at all costs. So hurry—

Boom!

At that moment, a tremendous explosion struck her ears. Dana jerked her head up.

“Ah…”

And she saw it.

The sight of the Diana being engulfed in massive flames.

‘No.’

Boom, boom, boom!

Consecutive explosions erupted and magnificent clouds of fire bloomed.

‘No.’

Dana grabbed the oar with trembling hands. She rowed frantically.

‘No. No. No.’

Karl is there, the ring is there, the sacred relic is there. Karl can’t die. My sacred relic…

But the Diana continued to break and explode and split apart. The massive ship was instantly swallowed by crimson flames.

Crash!

It exploded.

Completely, utterly, into smithereens.

 

* * *

 

What do I do?

“Dana!”

Am I trapped in this world?

Can’t I go back?

“Dana!”

She was so angry, so sorrowful, so sad, so confused that tears burst forth. Dana looked ahead with tear-filled eyes.

Karl was there.

“Dana, are you alright? Hm?”

He stroked her with a surprised expression. She could feel the damp moisture flowing down her cheeks.

“…Uncle?”

“Yes, yes. I’m here.”

Dana stared at him blankly.

What?

What? What?

What happened? Why is Karl in front of me—

‘Ah.’

Right, Karl.

Karl is right before my eyes.

The moment she realized it, Dana pulled him into a tight embrace.

Karl. My ring. My Sacred Relic. He’s here.

“Dana?”

Is this real?

Her heart was pounding so mercilessly it hurt, as if her chest would shatter at any moment.

Like grasping at straws, Dana embraced him. She desperately needed proof, proof that this moment was real.

“What’s wrong? Hm?”

It’s real.

The arms that embraced her back despite his confusion, the touch stroking her back and patting her head. Even the heartbeat she felt from his pressed chest.

It was all real.

‘Then what?’

Dana desperately embraced him while savoring the sense of reality.

This is real.

Then what was that just now?

Did Divine Sight awaken? Did I see the future?

For that long?

It was different from before.

Until now, whenever she saw the past or future with Divine Sight, it was always brief.

She would always just glimpse a moment and return. Brief enough to call it an instant.

She had only seen such short periods of time.

This long?

Even the sensation of briefly fainting in the future was all vivid?

Even the heartbeat she felt in Ignis’s arms.

Yes, just like what she felt from Karl now.

Even that loud, resounding beat was all vivid.

‘Then this?’

A chill washed over her.

Is this real? Is this reality?

Am I seeing the future again?

Growing anxious, Dana swallowed. The gulping sound loudly broke the silence.

Only then did Dana realize that the surroundings were wrapped in terrible quiet. Only the intertwined breathing of the two people filled the air.

“Uncle…”

Dana let out a cracked voice while clinging to him.

“Yes.”

He answered in a low voice.

The touch stroking her spine suddenly felt ticklish, and Dana snapped back to her senses.

‘Where is this?’

A dark room. A guest room. On the bed.

It was her bedroom.

“I’m sorry.”

When she slowly pushed him away, Karl gently stepped back. His face was full of worry.

“Are you alright?”

“Yes.”

“Did you have a nightmare?”

“Yes…”

No.

I saw the future.

Dana tightly grasped Karl’s hand and felt the metal on his fingers.

Thank goodness.

The Deputy Head’s Ring, the Sacred Relic is here.

With relief, her heart finally calmed down.

“What happened?”

“You suddenly collapsed in the corridor.”

Karl wiped away even the last tear that moistened her eyes with his free hand.

“The doctor came and left, saying your breathing and pulse were normal. He said there was no major problem, but I was worried so I was taking care of you.”

I collapsed? In the corridor?

Dana looked down. Her silver dress hem was soaked with red wine. So…

‘On the way to wash up.’

Divine Sight awakened on that path.

It showed her the future.

“How long was I unconscious?”

“Well.”

Karl looked down at his wristwatch.

“About 10 minutes, I think.”

I was unconscious for 10 minutes?

Then—

‘Ignis’s plan to kidnap me failed.’

The future changed when Divine Sight awakened.

Ignis, who was waiting in the bathroom preparing for the kidnapping, must have come up empty.

However, Dana couldn’t feel at ease.

 

“The bomb?”

“Operating smoothly. It will explode within an hour.”

 

Because there’s a bomb somewhere that will completely destroy the Diana.

Did he say about 10 minutes passed?

Then, there are 50 minutes left until the bomb explodes. Dana urgently pulled Karl toward her.

“Uncle.”

Karl obediently leaned toward her. His face wore a smooth smile like velvet.

“Yes.”

“I have something important to tell you.”

“Tell me anything.”

Just as she was about to speak immediately, the door burst open. Bright light poured through the open doorway.

“Ah.”

A man with silver hair was about to enter but stopped at the door.

It was Lumiere.

He looked at the two with narrowed eyes, then soon smiled as if nothing was wrong and entered.

“Dana, there you were.”

Lumiere’s gaze dropped to the two hands that were tightly clasped together, then quickly rose back up.

His smile deepened.

“Since you weren’t coming back, I came looking for you… What are you doing here, Father?”
