Chapter 121

 

 

 

Dana’s mind went completely blank.

She couldn’t believe it at all.

“Now, everyone join your hands together and pray!”

That face.

“Great Diana, please bestow new seeds upon your children.”

That voice.

“Please bless us so that we may conceive new life today as well. Let us live eternally by continuing life through our children. Love through love, life through life…”

It was all too familiar.

Of course it was.

That was a voice she heard every day, a face she saw every day.

Dana had encountered that person without fail every single day since possessing this body.

Right there—in the mirror.

‘That’s me!’

Danae Windsor.

She was giving a speech on the platform!

‘No.’

Dana grabbed the door handle. She squeezed her eyes shut and shook her head.

No, no. That couldn’t be.

Danae Windsor is me. The one over there is—

‘Someone else.’

Dana opened her eyes wide. She stared intently at the woman on the distant platform.

And in that moment she felt relieved. She had discovered a difference between her and—Danae.

‘Red eyes.’

The woman’s eyes were blood red. Not Danae’s light green.

That wasn’t the only difference.

‘Her hair is red too.’

The hair flowing softly to her waist was rose-colored. And most of all.

‘She’s younger than me.’

Looking closely, it was a face younger than her own.

Fourteen, or maybe fifteen?

She still exuded a youthful, girlish air. So then.

‘That’s not me.’

Then what was that girl?

Just then, the red-eyed girl twisted one corner of her mouth into a smile.

Instantly, a lightning-like sense of déjà vu struck the top of her head.

That smile.

She had definitely seen it somewhere before…

“This concludes today’s service.”

The girl smiled gently.

“May many lives be conceived tonight under Diana’s blessing.”

Was the service over? The believers began to rise.

Instinctively, Dana quickly hid behind the door. She hurriedly ran down the corridor. Thump, thump, her heart pounded noisily in her chest like a drum.

How long had she run like that? Only after getting sufficiently far from the chapel did she stop. Suddenly feeling dizzy, she leaned against the wall with her hand.

‘What was that just now?’

What on earth did I just see?

A girl with red hair and red eyes who looked exactly like her. What was that woman?

No, whatever that woman was—

There was one thing that was certain.

‘Did Danae have a sister?’

That girl was definitely Danae Windsor’s sister.

Otherwise, there was no way they could look so identical like twins.

But there was another suspicious thing.

That girl’s smile just now. That mischievous smile she gave while looking at the believers.

The moment she saw it, someone came to mind in Dana’s head.

‘Ignis de Windsor.’

That girl’s laugh resembled Ignis.

Moreover, the red hair, red eyes. Weren’t those Ignis’s characteristics?

‘But how?’

How was that possible?

A girl who resembled both Danae and Ignis?

It was confusing. Feeling suffocated as if her throat was completely blocked, Dana swallowed hard.

If that girl was Danae’s younger sister.

‘Why didn’t I know?’

Never, truly not even once had she heard such a story.

Danae’s father—Demian Windsor was said to have only three children.

Viego Windsor and Noah Windsor.

And Danae Windsor.

These three were all there were.

‘Or do other people not know about that girl’s existence either?’

What about Viego Windsor? Did he not know either? Or did he know? That his blood relative was a Diana Church priest, that she was on this island—

‘I don’t know.’

Really, I don’t know anything.

Dana took a deep breath and straightened her body.

‘Let’s go to Lumiere.’

Although not blood-related, Lumiere was also a Windsor and had lived at the Windsor Estate all along.

He would know more than she did. Moreover, about Ignis too, Lumiere would know much better.

Shortly after, Dana stood in front of Lumiere’s room door and knocked urgently.

Knock knock knock knock.

‘Is he not there?’

Why was there no answer?

While she waited anxiously.

Creak, the door opened.

“Dana.”

Lumiere, who had opened the door just slightly, asked through the gap. He had a very drowsy face as if he had been about to fall asleep.

“What’s the matter at this hour?”

“Lumiere. I have something I want to talk about.”

“Talk?”

“Yes.”

“I see. Is that so.”

Lumiere laughed quietly. For some reason, the moment she thought it was a dry laugh.

“Anytime.”

He slowly stepped aside.

“You’re welcome, Dana.”

It meant for her to come in.

So Dana entered without hesitation.

“Brother. I….”

Click. Just then, the door closed behind her. For some reason, that sound echoed particularly loudly.

“By any chance, do I have a sister who looks like me?”

However, without time to delay, Dana immediately got to the point.

“Whether it’s a relative or whatever, I’m curious if there’s a girl who looks like me.”

“There’s no way there could be another woman who looks like you.”

Answering nonchalantly, Lumiere passed by her. He sat on the sofa and put a cigarette in his mouth.

“Did you come here just to say that?”

“Yes.”

Dana sat on the sofa opposite him.

Was he tired? Right now, Lumiere looked unusually sensitive.

“I just saw a girl who looked like my twin in the chapel.”

“You must have seen wrong, Dana.”

He chuckled as he exhaled cigarette smoke.

“That can’t be right. Why are you saying such strange things?”

“No. Red hair and red eyes, and though she looked younger than me, her face was exactly the same as mine.”

“You must be tired from the long journey. To see such illusions.”

Why won’t he believe me!

Dana felt wronged. It wasn’t an illusion. It really was a girl who looked exactly like her!

“Brother, please believe me. A woman who’s clearly my blood relative was giving a speech in front of the believers in the chapel!”

“Ah, yes. I understand.”

“And she was wearing Diana Church priest robes. My blood relative is serving as a priest on this island.”

“Right.”

Lumiere replied listlessly. He wasn’t listening seriously at all. Dana felt irritation surge up.

And at that moment, she realized.

She wasn’t the only one who was irritated.

There was clearly an irritable look on Lumiere’s face as well. He too seemed deeply disturbed by something.

Why?

“Brother, are you even listening to me?”

“No. I’m not listening.”

She was dumbfounded. To admit that so readily!

“What on earth are you thinking about?”

Then Lumiere leaned back against the backrest. And then he answered quietly.

“I’m thinking about whether to approach you after I finish smoking this cigarette.”

“What?”

“The ribbon on your chest.”

“….”

“I want to try pulling it.”

Dana looked down at her chest.

The ribbon tied in multiple layers was designed to come completely undone with one long pull.

If that happened, her clothes would fall open.

Her chest would be completely visible….

“I want to see your naked body.”

“….”

What?

Dana’s lips stiffened. What did I just hear?

Despite having said something shockingly improper, Lumiere wore a gentlemanly smile.

“What do you mean by that?”

“Exactly what I said.”

Looking at her shocked expression with indifferent eyes, Lumiere raised the corners of his mouth.

“I’m sure you’d be incredibly beautiful.”

Her heart suddenly dropped.

“From head to toe, there wouldn’t be a single part that isn’t beautiful.”

He slowly, very leisurely looked her over. Eyes, nose, and lips.

Lips.

“Then you, Dana, would blush. You’d be shocked and push me away with all your strength.”

Mumbling this, Lumiere suddenly raised his gaze upward.

The moment their eyes met, a thrill ran up her spine. And she realized completely. It was an unmistakable fire. His eyes, like those of a starving beast, were burning with blatant desire.

“What would I do then? Would I pretend to be sorry and let myself be pushed away, or….”

As if pondering, Lumiere tilted his head slightly.

“Continue.”

Tap tap, dropping cigarette ash into the ashtray, he laughed lightly.

“Well, those are the kinds of thoughts I was having.”

Dana swallowed.

She had to say something. Anything.

But all the words he had uttered seemed to strangle her throat, making it difficult to voice anything.

“Don’t say such impure things.”

“I’m impure?”

“Yes.”

“Then what about you?”

Lumiere tilted his head.

“Coming to my bedroom late at night wearing only a nightgown—are you very pure?”

“Lumiere. I….”

“Brother.”

Repeating the word, Lumiere chuckled.

“I told you I wouldn’t play the role of your brother.”

Crush. He roughly stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray.

“I also told you not to come to my room today.”

He was certainly smiling, but those hands, the way he ground out the cigarette, revealed intense emotion.

“I also said I’d do whatever I wanted.”

The next moment, he rose from his seat.

In one stride, he approached her.

“So why did you come, Dana?”

Dana immediately tried to stand, but Lumiere grabbed her shoulders and forced her to sit.

“I didn’t want to be found out. Hmm?”

His fingers grasped the ribbon on her chest.

“Now you’ve discovered that I’m a bastard.”
