Chapter 125

 

 

 

“Here.”

Lumiere tapped his own temple.

“This is the vital spot.”

“….”

“Hit me here, Dana.”

“….”

“I won’t die, but I’ll pass out for you instead.”

Not ‘I’ll pass out’ but ‘I’ll pass out for you’? What’s that supposed to mean?

Dana was completely fed up.

Kindly telling her to hit his vital spot. He’s not in his right mind.

The moment she thought that, Dana felt her palm throbbing.

It had swollen completely from slapping his cheek with all her strength.

“….”

Was it because of the pain?

Slowly, very slowly, her reason began to return.

And she clearly realized why Lumiere had made such a provocation. That it had worked properly too.

He had done it on purpose. So that she could regain control of her body.

But she was still grinding her teeth.

“Get off me.”

Perhaps that’s why her words didn’t come out nicely.

Lumiere obediently moved aside. Not only that, he picked up her clothes that had fallen to the floor and handed them to her.

Dana silently put on her clothes.

‘Ah, it hurts.’

It wasn’t just her palm that hurt.

Her neck, which Lumiere had gripped, also ached stiffly. He really had squeezed it mercilessly.

“How did you know it wasn’t me?”

“It would be harder not to know.”

Lumiere smiled as he buttoned up his shirt.

“You’re quite distinctive, Dana.”

“….”

What’s that supposed to mean?

She was curious about how exactly he had noticed, but she couldn’t ask further. She had to bite the inside of her mouth firmly.

‘Damn it.’

Control of her body had returned to her.

And her bodily sensations were gradually coming back to life.

The pain in her palm and the heat remaining on her thigh where Lumiere had gripped it. And….

And the desire boiling up from within her belly.

The lust that Jane had suffered from remained intact in this body. It must be because she had been at that ceremony—the special worship—from start to finish.

Her breathing became labored.

But Dana endured it.

She was determined to endure it even if it meant dying like this.

Surely Lumiere, who had also attended the worship, must be in a similar state, yet wasn’t he skillfully controlling it?

Did he notice her condition? Lumiere smiled crookedly.

“Are you okay, Dana?”

“Is there any reason I wouldn’t be okay?”

When she spoke as if acting strong, Lumiere shook his head as if he could guess her true feelings.

“Don’t compare yourself to me. You and I are different.”

“What?”

“I’m used to enduring and restraining such desires.”

“….”

“You’re not, are you?”

How impressive. So you’ve built up a tolerance or something?

―I actually think your ascetic side is so wonderful, Lord Lumiere.

“So, what exactly happened? Can you explain?”

“It was Jane.”

…What did I just think?

Dana pressed her forehead and answered quickly.

“It was Jane. Jane, that woman stole my body. She gnawed on fingernails….”

She got goosebumps all over again. Right. What exactly had that woman done?

Stealing a body—how could she do such a thing? And why would she do such a thing?

―I just wanted to fulfill my mission.

A chill ran through her for a moment.

What was that?

That voice just now, what was it?

“Jane stole your body?”

“Yes.”

“You really almost got into big trouble. I thought you had just fallen under simple suggestion or hypnosis.”

Lumiere’s face became serious.

But Dana could no longer answer. The sentences echoing in her head were confusing. What is this….

“Dana, you were under a very dangerous spell. That’s ancient forbidden magic… Wait. Then that means there’s a shaman with that level of power on this island right now.”

Lumiere, who had been muttering to himself, urgently sprang up from his seat.

“Dana, rest here for a moment. I’ll go check it out.”

He placed his hand on her head and gently stroked it.

“Don’t go anywhere. Got it?”

“….”

Dana looked up at Lumiere with a tired face.

And she admired him without realizing it.

‘As expected.’

Lumiere Windsor was beautiful.

His delicate and elegant features as if sculpted from porcelain, his refreshing appearance more like a poet than a soldier.

Perhaps that’s why. The chest muscles visible through the gap in his shirt and his taut forearms were more stimulating in contrast.

“Dana?”

Thump thump, her heart raced.

It had always been this way. From the moment she first met this man until now, constantly.

As expected, this man shines too brightly.

But there would be no chance to reach him.

After all, the mission had failed.

So, just once.

Before completely disappearing from this body.

“I, I love you.”

I want to say it.

Her lips moved on their own.

“Ever since you saved me from the Barbarian ship, I’ve, I’ve always loved you. Lord Lumiere.”

And at that moment. Dana gasped. She panicked and her mind went blank. She covered her mouth with her hands.

What was that just now?

What did I just say?

‘No, that wasn’t what I said.’

Just now, those emotions, those thoughts, those words—they all belonged to someone else.

So then….

‘Jane?’

Is Jane still inside me?

Goosebumps rose all over her skin. Hadn’t she been expelled from this body?

Isn’t it over yet?

The shamanism that had captured her.

‘It’s still controlling me!’

The moment she realized it, dong—

The temple bell rang.

Dong—

Dong—

The clear bell sound announcing midnight.

It spread wide and far.

That bell sound rang in her ears, rang in her head, rang in her heart….

 

[Come here.]

 

It became a voice that rang through her soul.

 

[Come here.]

 

Suddenly, a blurry image appeared before her eyes.

It was the Black Tower.

The old building that existed next to the temple.

That building, which was forbidden to all except priests, appeared clearly before her eyes.

 

[Hurry.]

 

And the voice she heard in her head.

Is it Jane again?

 

[Come here.]

 

No. This time it’s not Jane.

A voice more powerful and vast than Jane’s. It was the voice of one who gave more fundamental commands.

Who could it be?

Who is calling me like this?

 

[Hurry and come to this place.]

[Come to meet me.]

 

“Dana?”

Dana suddenly startled and turned around.

“Where are you going?”

Before she knew it, she had risen from her seat and was walking toward the door.

Dana tilted her head.

Where am I going? Well.

 

[Come here.]

 

The Black Tower.

I have to go there.

Someone is waiting for me there.

Someone who has been waiting for me for a very long time, for ages, is there.

“Move aside.”

She answered as if entranced. She had to go. She must go. If she doesn’t go, she must go, she must hurry and go….

“Dana.”

“Let go.”

“Sorry, but I can’t let go.”

“Let go!”

The next moment, Dana struck Lumiere’s head with the angel statue. With all her strength, with all her might, at the temple he had pointed to.

Thwack!

Lumiere’s head turned.

But that was all.

“No, Dana.”

Drip. Blood trickled down.

However, Lumiere still stood blocking her with a smiling face.

“I told you. You’re under a very dangerous shamanism.”

He doesn’t even blink.

He said he would pass out, but as expected, it was a lie.

Lumiere sighed as if pitying her.

“Poor Dana. Most people who wake up after being under that shamanism either go mad or become idiots.”

“Let go.”

“Don’t worry. Even if you become an idiot, I’ll take good care of you.”

When he grabbed her elbow, Dana felt intense passion surge and almost lunged at him. However.

“You’re more dangerous to me.”

An even stronger message had captured her.

 

[Hurry and come.]

 

She had to go there.

“Disgusting.”

“What?”

“I said you’re disgusting. Lumiere, you. All this time you pretended to be a kind cousin while imagining what behind my back?”

Glaring at the bloodied Lumiere, Dana smiled viciously.

“Tell me honestly. You’d rather I became an idiot, wouldn’t you?”

She spat out harshly toward that beautiful face.

“You meant everything you said earlier, didn’t you? You want to do it inside me, don’t you? You want to get me pregnant, don’t you? You want me to have your child, don’t you? If I became an idiot, you could do whatever you wanted. Can you swear to God that you have no such feelings at all?”

Vicious words pouring out like sharp blades.

Are these really words I’m saying? Are these thoughts really from inside me? She couldn’t tell.

The only important thing was that she had to get away from this person. Dana babbled irrationally.

“You can’t swear, can you?”

“….”

“See? Dirty and disgusting. I feel like throwing up.”

At that moment, Lumiere’s grip loosened.

Dana immediately turned and burst out of the room. Fortunately, Lumiere no longer tried to hold her back.

Drip, drip. Blood drops fell from the angel statue in her hand. Leaving a red trail, Dana exhaled a weary breath. And….

 

[Come here.]

 

She headed there.

To that place.

Staggering as she walked out of the temple and entered the tower…

 

[Hurry up and come up.]

 

She headed upward.

Up, up. To the tower top.

The scenery outside the window gradually grew lower.

If it were her usual self with acrophobia, she would never have been able to climb up so easily.

“You came.”

She calmly climbed all the way to the tower top.

“Welcome.”

She was waiting there for her.

“I was waiting for you.”

The red-haired girl.

That girl who had Ignis’s eyes and Danae’s face.

“Sister Danae.”

She welcomed her with both arms spread wide.
