Chapter 119

A few days later.

The Diana finally arrived at the stopover Lipton.

By then, Dana had also completely recovered after suffering from high fever for several days.

“Dana.”

While preparing to see off the passengers disembarking at the stopover, knock knock, a knocking sound was heard.

“May I come in?”

It was Karl’s voice.

“Yes. Please come in.”

Then the door opened carefully and Karl entered. He smiled awkwardly and said.

“Do you know how to tie a necktie?”

“Ah, yes.”

“Then could you help me?”

Karl’s necktie was tied in a sloppy manner.

Suddenly irritation welled up. At that age and he can’t even tie a necktie properly!

“Of course.”

However, she approached with a bright smile.

Dana completely untied his necktie and then began tying it again. Karl, who had been quietly looking down at her, muttered softly.

“Have you tied many men’s neckties?”

“Pardon?”

“You’re quite skilled.”

What is he saying. She glanced up, but Karl had his usual smiling face.

Instead of answering, Dana patted the necktie lightly.

“It’s done. Do you like it?”

“Yes. It seems your skills, honed by someone all this time, have been properly displayed.”

“….”

Is he that curious. Dana eventually had to answer.

“His Highness the Crown Prince asked me a few times before.”

“Ah. I see.”

Karl smiled brightly. That smile disgusted Dana.

‘How annoying.’

Now he must be relieved that the Crown Prince is his daughter Alice’s man.

He really was an irritating person.

“Dana.”

Suddenly Karl’s voice lowered. He stroked her hair and said.

“Would you like to get off here with me?”

“Pardon?”

“We’ve arrived at Lipton now. How about you get off this time too?”

Karl smiled with a face full of concern.

“Leave the Diana to Lumiere. I’m worried something else might happen.”

“….”

“Get off with me. Okay?”

Well, there was almost a terrorist attack. He must be worried about future safety.

‘Of course it would be good for me to get off here.’

The deputy head position would be lost, but— deputy head or whatever, she wanted to hover around Karl and look for an opportunity to steal the ring.

‘But it’s inappropriate to carry out the plan in Lipton.’

A strange place with limited range of movement and not a single ally.

Moreover, Lyos and Alice came here to meet Former Emperor Wilhelm.

Karl would accompany them as Alice’s father.

That means moving under tremendous security.

‘I’d have to move together with them too.’

It’s not easy to scheme under so much surveillance. It would be better to do something even slightly more efficient instead.

If she rushed to steal Karl’s ring and failed, everything she had built up would crumble.

“I have a mission given by Viego Windsor. It would be difficult to get off here.”

Karl, who had been silently staring at her, finally smiled.

“I see. With Lumiere there, you’ll be safe.”

Dana thought the same.

Lumiere Windsor. With an undefeated soldier accompanying them, nothing could be more reassuring.

‘Of course, in that sense, Karl Windsor is also reassuring but….’

Didn’t he also handle that dangerous bomb?

Karl handled the bomb that would have completely destroyed the Diana.

‘But I don’t understand how he’s so fine.’

She clearly witnessed him being completely destroyed in the future, but now he had recovered perfectly.

Like a monster.

Come to think of it, Karl wasn’t the only monster-like person. Ignis too, and Lumiere….

“Then let’s meet again in the capital, Dana.”

Then Karl pressed his lips to her forehead and smiled gently.

“Please stay safe until then.”

* * *

“What?”

Ignis sat up from the bed.

After pushing away the woman who was sleeping clinging to him, he asked again.

“What did you just say?”

Then the man who came to see him frowned.

“Please cover your naked body first, Lord Ignis. To be taking a woman even at a time like this, really….”

At that criticism, Ignis smiled crookedly.

“Why. Do I look like trash?”

“…I didn’t go that far.”

“You can say it. It’s the truth anyway.”

Ignis spoke nonchalantly and put on a robe. Then he moved to the adjacent room and began a proper conversation.

“What did you say earlier? Tell me again.”

Then the man— the Barbarian Tribe shaman began explaining.

“There is a shamanism called Heart Extraction Technique.”

“What’s that?”

“It’s shamanism that extracts the heart outside the body and stores it in a place far from the body. Then that person becomes free from emotions.”

“Ugh.”

Ignis pretended to retch.

“It sounds grotesque just hearing about it. But why?”

“In my opinion, Lord Ignis seems to need the Heart Extraction Technique.”

“…What?”

“This incident, and the previous incident. Didn’t you mess up because of emotions?”

Instantly Ignis’s cheek twitched. Haha, he laughed helplessly then asked back threateningly.

“What did you say, you bastard. Say it again.”

Not backing down from the menacing voice, the shaman said firmly.

“Securing Danae Windsor’s custody—you’ve already failed twice. It’s all because you let your emotions get the better of you, Ignis.”

As soon as the words ended, Ignis grabbed the shaman by the collar. He spat out viciously, as if chewing him up.

“Why don’t you try it yourself? With those monsters from the Windsor Family protecting her, do you think kidnapping that woman would be easy?”

“It should be easy for you. After all, you’re the finest monster of them all, aren’t you?”

The shaman clicked his tongue and patted Ignis’s fist, as if comforting him.

“Ignis, you’re weak when it comes to Danae Windsor—that woman. You probably think she’s beautiful.”

Silence fell.

After a moment, Ignis asked slowly with an expressionless face.

“So? Because she’s beautiful, you’re saying I can’t touch her carelessly?”

“There’s no need to blame yourself. There are so, so, so many men like you, Ignis.”

The shaman spoke earnestly without any hint of mockery.

“The Heart Extraction Technique is shamanism I recommend to men who are weak to beauty. Men like you, Ignis.”

“…”

“If you extract your heart, it would be difficult to feel emotions, so you wouldn’t be swayed by beautiful women either…”

The next moment, Ignis struck the shaman across the face. Smack!

“Ugh!”

The shaman collapsed, clutching his bleeding nose. However, he didn’t stop talking.

“M-men’s greatest weakness is lust. As long as you can’t resolve the lust you harbor for that woman, you’ll obviously be swayed again!”

“I know. That’s why I slept with a woman who looked like her yesterday.”

Ignis pressed his foot down hard on the shaman’s finger and spoke viciously.

“You asked why I take women even at times like this, right? Following your logic, I was afraid I’d be blinded by beauty, so I wanted to release my lust beforehand, you fucking bastard.”

“P-please move your foot, ahhh!”

“So don’t spout nonsense about Heart Extraction Techniques or whatever, great shaman. Before I tear that mouth of yours apart. Okay?”

“M-my finger, ugh, ahhh!”

After thoroughly stepping on and breaking the shaman’s finger, Ignis left the hotel.

“Disgusting bastard.”

Muttering curses, he pulled down his hat. Then he quickly headed toward the port.

Right now, a massive white ship was docked at Lipton’s port.

“My goodness, look at that ship.”

“That must be the Diana.”

“I heard it’s a ship made by Windsor Shipbuilding—it’s really huge.”

“What kind of people do you think are on that ship?”

Ignis snorted.

What kind of people—those damn Windsor bastards and fanatics from the Diana Church boarded it.

“Has it completely docked at Lipton?”

“No, they say it has a different destination.”

“Where’s that?”

“I don’t know. They say only the passengers know?”

Ignis knew too.

The Diana’s final destination was Saint Grave Island.

The very place that would become the grave of the Diana’s passengers.

‘Right. Those bastards will all die on that island.’

Not long ago, a fortune teller from the Barbarian Tribes made a prophecy.

“The humans who board the Diana and enter that island. They will all die on that island.”

The Barbarian Tribes’ fortune teller, who had once made a name for himself as an outstanding prophet—he had delivered a prophecy after a very long time.

“Lumiere Windsor will also die on that land.”

Hmm. The fortune teller fell deep into thought, then finally spat out these words too.

“Danae Windsor will also die there. I can see that scene.”

Ignis wasn’t surprised. Rather, he thought it was natural.

“Ignis, it seems the trap you set is working properly.”

Since he had prepared a trap on that island.

There was no one who could avoid that trap.

It was a truly terrible trap that could kill even monsters like Lumiere Windsor or Karl Windsor.

Danae Windsor would also die on that island.

‘Though I was planning to kidnap her and seize the vault before that.’

He had already failed at kidnapping twice.

Perhaps he might fail three times, four times, and continue failing in the future.

‘Then it might actually be better for that girl to die.’

Because in a few months, her inheritance rights would pass to Karl Windsor.

When that time comes, Karl Windsor would inherit the fortune even if it meant killing Danae.

‘Stupid girl. I could tell from the moment she chose a devil like Karl Windsor as her guardian.’

Karl Windsor likes Danae. He cherishes her. He genuinely finds her adorable.

But that was all.

Ignis had no doubt that Karl would kill Danae without hesitation when the right time came.

Karl Windsor was after Danae’s vault—’that item’ in the vault.

‘No. That’s mine.’

He couldn’t stand to see it fall into Karl’s hands.

Ignis thought with eyes that had sunk pitch black.

If he failed at kidnapping this time too.

Before Danae’s fortune passed to Karl. And thus before that item was stolen.

‘Let’s just leave that girl to die on the island.’

Once they entered that island, there would be no way to survive without his help.
