Chapter 12

* * *

“What did you do?”

On the way back after leaving the party hall.

“What the hell did you do!”

Danae’s aunt—Sandra Windsor—rushed over like lightning and grabbed her.

“Answer me! I asked what you did to Alice!”

“What did I do?”

“You ruined Alice’s engagement ceremony!”

Sandra turned pale and screamed.

“How could you ruin that child’s once-in-a-lifetime engagement ceremony like that?”

“I suppose you never thought of it as my medal ceremony from the beginning?”

“Is that more important than an engagement ceremony? Being the older sister, instead of yielding to your younger sister, you’re only thinking of your own greed!”

Getting angry while speaking, Sandra grabbed Dana’s hair.

“You’re so greedy!”

This crazy woman!

“Calm down, madam!”

“What are you doing! Everyone stop her!”

Fortunately, the servants rushed over and restrained the raging Sandra.

“Sister Sandra! Please calm down!”

And in the midst of the chaos, Sandra’s younger brother also came running out.

“Juan! How can I calm down! How can I!”

“Sister! Please!”

She’s completely worked up.

Dana looked at Sandra with contempt.

Sandra would lose her temper and rage like this once or twice a year.

‘Though this is the first time I’ve been the target.’

Perhaps because she came from a military family with the motto ‘Patience comes after annihilating the enemy,’ Sandra really didn’t know how to endure.

“Aunt Sandra.”

However, Dana knew.

“Uncle Karl would be disappointed if he knew.”

The magic words to control Sandra.

“Does Uncle Karl know that you’re treating me so roughly?”

Instantly, Sandra stopped struggling like a broken doll.

Karl. The name of the man Sandra worshipped.

That word brought her back to her senses.

“I, I was just…”

“I’ll have the conversation with Uncle Karl. As for you, Aunt, well, you’d be better off talking to beasts rather than humans.”

With those words, Dana immediately turned around. Fortunately, Sandra didn’t scream anymore.

However.

‘What?’

Why is he following me?

Her younger brother, Juan Rolland, was following her. He spoke in a pitying voice.

“You must be very upset, right?”

“Pardon?”

“Well, you have every right to be. Nothing is more painful than a lover’s change of heart.”

“…”

“His Highness the Crown Prince gave Alice the Moonlight Flower he was planning to give you. He personally bought the Moonlight Flower from me at a very high price.”

“Ah…”

Only then did Dana feel it was worth responding.

“So you were in charge of that business.”

“That’s right. My brother-in-law Karl entrusted it to me.”

Entrusted my foot, Karl just parachuted his incompetent brother-in-law into a position.

‘I guess he cherishes even that kind of scoundrel because he’s his brother-in-law.’

Juan Rolland.

Sandra’s younger brother.

He was practically kicked out of the Rolland Family, so Sandra brought him to the Windsor Family like a burden.

“If you need a Moonlight Flower, just tell me. I’ll gladly give you one as a gift.”

“I don’t need it.”

“Now, don’t be so wary, Dana. I’m different from other men.”

Juan looked around quickly. After making sure no one was there, he whispered slyly.

“I can only look at you. I’m different from His Highness the Crown Prince who plays around.”

“…”

How tiresome.

Dana glared at him with contempt.

Juan Rolland had been courting her in secret all this time.

Spouting nonsense about loving her, wanting to marry her, running away overseas together.

She had rejected him several times, but Juan just wouldn’t give up.

‘It’s obvious. He’s after my fortune.’

She could see right through his dirty scheme, but she endured it. She didn’t tell anyone.

If Lyos found out, Juan’s head would be cut off.

That’s not an exaggeration, it would really happen.

‘Lyos would have killed Juan by any means necessary.’

Then Sandra would be sad, and Uncle Karl would be sad.

She had kept it hidden all this time thinking of them.

“Moonlight Flowers are hard for even high nobles to obtain. You know that. In the Empire, they’re practically a symbol of wealth and power.”

Whether he knew what was going through Dana’s mind or not, Juan was still acting arrogant.

“Even His Highness the Crown Prince personally asked me to obtain a Moonlight Flower.”

I know.

Moonlight Flower. I made a deal with the Emperor using that precious flower.

‘It was a life-or-death deal.’

“One month, make the value of the Moonlight Flower into trash within one month, Danae Windsor.”

Throb.

Suddenly her neck, which had been threatened by the Emperor, ached again, so Dana unconsciously rubbed her nape.

“Do you know the origin of the Moonlight Flower?”

Then Juan grabbed her wrist.

“It’s a flower that symbolizes the Moon God.”

And then he smoothly ran his thumb over her skin.

“It’s said to be a flower that doesn’t wither for a hundred years once it blooms, so it’s used to prove eternal love or loyalty.”

It feels like a snake crawling.

Getting goosebumps, Dana roughly shook off his hand.

“Get away. And don’t touch me without permission.”

However, Juan grinned wickedly.

“Think carefully, Danae. I’m the last option you have left.”

“What did you say?”

“How terribly has His Highness the Crown Prince been courting you all this time? Everyone’s too afraid of him to even approach you. Look. You came alone without a partner today too, didn’t you?”

“….”

“What are you planning to do like this? You’re twenty-three, right? They say women wither after twenty-three.”

Juan clicked his tongue and sent her a pitying look.

“But I’m different. I’ll love you even after you turn twenty-three. And I’m not afraid of His Highness the Crown Prince either.”

“….”

“If I were afraid of His Highness, how could I have conveyed my feelings to you all this time?”

That’s because your liver swelled with greed for money. You must have been confident that the ‘kind’ Dana wouldn’t show her feelings out of concern for family discord.

‘This maggot of a human being.’

There’s no reason to tolerate him anymore. She would crush and burst him without any hesitation.

This worked out perfectly. That bastard was nominally the person in charge of the Moonlight Flower business, wasn’t he?

“Then prove it once.”

Dana uttered the first line to set up the stage she wanted.

To make it happen….

“Try making a Moonlight Flower garden and giving it to me as a gift. That’s something even His Highness the Crown Prince couldn’t do, isn’t it?”

With those words, she turned around.

Juan watched her retreating figure in surprise.

He never expected such a positive response to come back.

‘Has my sincerity finally gotten through to her!’

Well, she must have been scared by the talk about being twenty-three. She clearly gave in out of desperation.

‘As expected, talking about age is the best way to break a woman’s spirit.’

A twenty-three-year-old woman on the verge of withering, and right after being rejected too. Isn’t this way too easy a target?

She’ll definitely fall for it if he just coaxes her a little.

Juan Rolland walked away with a wicked grin.

Unaware that someone was watching him.
