Chapter 122

 

 

 

“Don’t do it!”

Dana grabbed his wrist in shock. Afraid he might pull the string at any moment, she spoke quickly.

“Are you insane?”

Lumiere stared down at her intently. He grinned.

“Well. How do I look?”

How does he look? What kind of shameless question is that!

“You definitely look insane, so stop it. Right now, let go of my ribbon.”

“Really?”

Had he finally come to his senses?

“Alright.”

Lumiere nodded. He released her ribbon.

Dana felt relieved.

Fortunately, he could be reasoned with— she thought for a moment.

“…!”

Dana’s body was suddenly lifted. Lumiere had picked her up.

“Brother!”

What are you doing!

He walked forward with long strides without answering.

Toward the bed.

“What are you doing!”

Thud!

Her body fell onto the bed. Dana tried to get up quickly, but Lumiere climbed on top of her.

He must be crazy! Dana hurriedly pushed against Lumiere’s chest.

The moment she felt the muscles and frame in her hands, so large and solid, she was flustered.

But she spoke calmly.

“You can’t do this.”

“I know.”

His eyes that met hers flickered ominously. He swept back his silver hair and spoke slowly.

“I know very well that I shouldn’t do this. Dana.”

“….”

“I also know very well that I look crazy.”

“….”

“I’m getting a bit bored. Why don’t you tell me something I don’t know?”

At that moment Dana realized. It was too obvious.

It wasn’t all desire.

Lumiere hated her.

‘Why?’

Suddenly the fundamental question returned.

Why exactly?

Why does Lumiere hate me?

“Move.”

Whatever the reason, it didn’t matter. Dana aimed the gun she had drawn from her thigh at him. Her face was resolute.

“Move, Brother.”

Then Lumiere laughed out loud. Then he pressed his forehead against the gun muzzle with a tap.

“Shoot.”

He urged with a beautiful eye-smile.

“Hurry up.”

Press. He pressed his forehead harder against the gun muzzle.

“I said shoot?”

“….”

 

 

Crazy bastard.

When she was completely disgusted, Lumiere snatched the gun from her with surprisingly quick movements.

“Next time don’t warn, just shoot right away, Dana. From the moment you let them read the gun barrel’s direction, you’ve already failed.”

He threw out a comment with a smile. Just as anger flared at that ridiculous advice.

“…!”

Dana was startled.

Lumiere had lowered his body. Their legs became entangled. And….

“W-wait.”

His and her pelvic bones aligned at exactly the same position.

Electric current sparked from the weight pressing over the fabric. Her toes curled involuntarily with a flinch.

“What are you doing!”

“Calm down, Dana. I’m not doing anything.”

He smiled very kindly.

Then he moved his waist very gently.

“It’s just that you seemed a bit tense….”

At that moment, waves of thrill rushed from where they touched and struck Dana’s body. Her vision became dizzy from the intense shock.

“I’m trying to help you.”

His gentle voice scattered by her ear. Goosebumps rose up to her nape.

Why am I like this.

It felt like a huge fire had seized her body. Surprised by the abnormal heat that suddenly blazed up, Dana stammered.

“W-wait, Brother.”

“Brother.”

As if that word bothered him, Lumiere repeated it again, but soon answered with a voice full of mockery.

“Yes.”

Pretending to be gentle, but with mocking intent, Lumiere’s hand patted her head.

“Your brother is right here.”

He moved. Once, then once more.

Each time his pelvis swayed, her lips parted involuntarily from the sharply falling pleasure. It was a thrill like violence, as if splitting her body.

To think such contact could bring this much pleasure. It was unbelievably sensitive.

That wasn’t all.

Just moments ago she had been full of defiance and resistance— but those feelings were disappearing in an instant, as if something had forcibly extinguished them.

‘No.’

But Dana clearly understood.

This wasn’t like her.

This wasn’t her. This was—

 

“Please bestow your blessing so that new life may be conceived today as well.”

 

That’s right.

Come to think of it, that worship service.

The content was somehow strange.

 

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

 

Could that possibly be some kind of ritual?

Could witnessing that worship have this kind of effect on me too?

‘Right, this absolutely isn’t me.’

Amidst the hazy heat, Dana made her judgment.

Yes, there was no way she would become like this otherwise.

So she absolutely wouldn’t be swept away by it.

“Move.”

Dana gathered her rationality that felt like someone was forcibly splitting it apart. She reached out and reclaimed ownership of the gun.

Click, she loaded bullets into the magazine. And aimed with genuine intent.

“Move. Lumiere Windsor.”

“….”

Her heated breathing was unavoidable.

He said it would be a failure if the gun barrel’s direction was read. Sure enough, laughter flickered in Lumiere’s eyes as if finding it pathetic.

Fortunately, he seemed to have no intention of going further, raising both hands obediently and backing away as if this was enough.

Dana hurriedly escaped from beneath him. As she tried to crawl down from the bed.

“…!”

Thud, Lumiere grabbed her ankle.

What are you doing!

“Ah, sorry. I couldn’t help myself.”

Laughter flowed from behind her as if it had been a joke. In that moment, Dana couldn’t hold back and spat out.

“Bastard.”

“Right. I’m so upset about being caught.”

Lumiere answered with a laugh. Though he spoke as if joking— his voice held undeniable lust.

“I’ll ask one last time. Dana. Never come to my bedroom at night again.”

Lumiere taunted her as she left the room without looking back.

“Next time, I won’t just let you go like this.”

 

* * *

 

Having escaped from Lumiere’s room like that, Dana returned straight to her own bedroom.

For some reason, the flame once ignited wouldn’t easily extinguish.

In other words, she wasn’t in a normal state.

‘I was definitely in a different state than usual.’

As expected, that worship was suspicious.

Though there hadn’t been lewd rituals like in the old Kaltusa Territory, it might have been a ritual that aroused lust in those who attended the worship.

‘Right. Because that’s a virtue of the Diana Church….’

She shouldn’t go near places of worship from now on.

Thinking of the lust that had burned through her body last night made her truly shudder.

Just briefly eavesdropping on the worship had that effect.

If she had listened from beginning to end, what would have happened….

That’s when it happened.

“D, Danae?”

Dana quickly raised her head.

Jane was looking at her with a puzzled expression.

“Are, are you alright?”

“Ah, yes. Sorry.”

She had been lost in thoughts of last night and hadn’t heard her calling. Then Jane smiled as if pleased.

“Th, thank you for ma, making time to, today.”

“No need to thank me.”

Today, Jane had come to suggest they tour the ancient priests’ tomb— that is, the ruins together.

Dana had readily accepted the proposal.

She had things she wanted to know anyway.

“Jane, did you happen to attend worship yesterday?”

“Y, yes. I attended.”

Jane answered in a shy voice.

“I ho, hope many li, lives were con, conceived last night.”

“….”

“I, I also want to qu, quickly have new life. Th, that is Di, Diana’s will. It’s also a pa, path for the world….”

As expected.

Yesterday’s worship was definitely a ritual to invoke the birth of life.

It was meant to optimize the believers’ bodies to engage in acts of creating new life.

‘Besides, it seems like a common ritual among Diana Church believers.’

Dana suppressed a sigh.

Anyway, the more you dig into this religion, the stranger it gets.

That aside.

‘If Jane attended worship yesterday, she must have seen the priest leading the worship.’

The red-haired girl with the exact same face as mine.

A girl who was definitely Danae’s blood relative.

Jane must have seen that child too.

But why isn’t she saying anything about it.

She could at least say something like “Do you have a sister” or “I saw a priest who looks exactly like you.”

Could the reason she’s not saying anything be….

“Oh, oh, oh my.”

Then Jane made a fuss. Dana also stopped in her tracks.

“It, it’s Lord Lumiere.”

Her mind felt like it was freezing instantly.

Lumiere was walking toward them from the opposite direction.

Unlike his crazy appearance last night, he looked like a gentleman with every button properly fastened.

“Isn, isn’t he so handsome? I’m je, jealous. Ha, having such a person as a co, cousin brother, how wo, wonderful that must be.”

Nausea suddenly surged.

Wonderful, my ass.

That so-called cousin brother did what to me yesterday.

But even if she told anyone, no one would believe it.

Lumiere was that flawlessly perfect and magnificent. Now, usually, always.

‘So annoying.’

Last night. She was angry at him for sweeping her into overwhelming lust with just a few movements.

And she was also angry at herself for being swept away so obediently and mercilessly.

Even if it was because of the worship’s influence.

Still, being angry was unavoidable.

‘Lumiere Windsor. Bastard.’

She couldn’t believe she had once regarded Lumiere as a kind and gentle brother. To think there was such a face beneath that mask!

“What a coincidence meeting here. I hope you’re having a good day under Diana’s blessing.”

Lumiere and the priest standing beside him stopped.

Was it High Priest Natelion. The person in charge of this island clasped his hands together in greeting.

“May today also be filled with Diana’s grace.”

Then he immediately made a suggestion.

“There will be a special worship at dawn tomorrow. I hope you will attend.”

“Special worship?”

Regular worship was already strange, but special worship?

She was already suspicious about what he might be planning to do.

“Lumiere will be attending as well.”

What?

Dana turned her gaze to Lumiere. He smiled brightly at her.

“Want to go together, Dana?”
