Chapter 132

 

 

 

Dana collapsed immediately after boarding the rescue ship.

The aftereffects of using Divine Sight had hit her belatedly.

“Poor thing.”

Every time she occasionally opened her eyes while suffering from high fever, she saw Karl’s face.

It was a face full of worry.

“It’s okay. Sleep more, Dana.”

In the burning heat, every time she closed and opened her eyes, he was there. She heard his voice.

“I’m here, so rest easy and sleep.”

She felt a sense of déjà vu.

It seemed like this had happened before…

“Are you awake?”

“…”

How long had she been sick like this?

Dana looked at him with vision that had become clear for the first time in a long while.

Where is this place?

“It’s a passenger ship. We transferred to a ship heading to Roben Port.”

Roben, that’s the port closest to the capital.

In other words, it’s a ship returning to the capital.

Dana sat up and asked.

“Uncle, Lumiere is…”

“You should call him Lumiere, Dana. He’s your cousin brother.”

Karl interrupted her words and pointed it out kindly but firmly.

“And don’t worry about Lumiere. He’ll return safely before long.”

Then he let out a sigh, and there was a faint irritation in that breath.

“You need to take care of your own body first, Dana.”

“…”

“You suffered from high fever for several days. I was very worried.”

Dana smiled weakly.

She had anticipated this level of aftereffects from the moment she overused Divine Sight.

“Here. You must be on an empty stomach, so let’s start with some soup.”

Karl scooped up some soup and held it in front of her mouth.

“Eat quickly. Okay?”

“…”

Dana felt uneasy.

Who knows if this man had put a small amount of poison in here. Maybe he was planning to slowly poison her from now on…

“Ah, is it because it’s too hot?”

Karl blew on the soup, “Hoo, hoo hoo.”

“Or are you worried it might taste too bad?”

Then he poured it into his own mouth.

Gulp, he swallowed it down his throat as if to show her, then smiled brightly.

“To be honest, it doesn’t taste good.”

“…”

“But it’s edible, so let’s eat just a little. Okay?”

Dana hesitated.

Seeing him eat it without any problem, it seemed like there was no poison…

‘No, this man probably wouldn’t be affected by most poisons. I can’t be sure.’

After thinking for a moment, Dana obediently parted her lips.

Even if there was poison, he wouldn’t be planning to kill her right away, so it wouldn’t be a strong poison. Once she arrived at the capital, she could take an antidote first and be fine.

Most importantly.

‘I’m too hungry.’

How many days had she been starving? It was agonizing as if her stomach was stuck to her back.

When she obediently ate it, the corners of Karl’s mouth turned up.

“How cute.”

“…”

“Dana is the cutest in the world.”

It was too bothersome to react, so she pretended not to hear.

She just focused on him feeding her the soup, one spoonful at a time.

In the midst of this, Karl spoke carefully.

“Dana.”

“Yes?”

“When we arrive at Windsor Estate, there will be a new family member.”

“A new family member?”

“Yes. I heard about it in advance from a messenger sent by Viego.”

A new family member, who could it be?

She looked at him questioningly, but Karl evaded giving an answer.

“It is a new family member, but it’s someone you know.”

A new family member that I know?

Who could it be?

Could it be Noah?

‘Noah should still be in prison.’

Who on earth could it be? However, Karl seemed reluctant to answer and changed the subject with a smile.

“Don’t be too surprised. Understood?”

“…”

It seemed like he had no intention of telling her.

Dana just let out a sigh. To be honest—she didn’t even have the strength to press him.

‘Whatever. I’ll find out when we arrive.’

Let’s eat for now. She was so hungry she felt like she might die. Dana opened her mouth and swallowed the soup.

“Oh my, good girl. Good girl.”

When she finally emptied the entire plate, Karl smiled as if proud. He stroked Dana’s hair.

“How can you be so cute?”

Suddenly he pulled her into his arms.

“Cute, so cute.”

Dana was too weak to resist and obediently leaned her face against his chest. As if even that seemed cute to him, Karl pressed his lips to her forehead with little kisses.

She was being treated completely like a pet.

Since she didn’t have the strength to scold him, Dana just closed her eyes and let her body relax.

‘Do whatever you want. Do whatever you want.’

…Just how far was he planning to do whatever he wanted?

Dana slowly opened her eyes.

Karl’s lips had moved from her forehead to her eyelids, from her eyelids to her cheekbones. And at some point, the contact that had been falling lightly like raindrops gradually slowed down, and Dana frowned at that weight.

This is strange.

She definitely hadn’t been thinking anything.

“Uncle.”

Suddenly she felt very, very uncomfortable.

“Uncle.”

“Mm.”

“It hurts.”

“Hm?”

“Don’t press so hard.”

“Hmm?”

What’s with that ‘hmm’? When Dana pushed his chest away, Karl stepped back with a dazed expression.

“Uh…”

Then, as if belatedly realizing what he had done, he startled and his shoulders jerked.

“Oh my, sorry. You were so cute, I couldn’t help myself.”

How annoying…

Dana clenched her fists tightly.

To that man’s eyes, she must look like nothing more than a little baby.

So of course he’d kiss her cheek like kissing a baby!

‘Just how far is he planning to take this act?’

Despite planning to kill her someday, he should tone down the pretense of finding her cute. She wanted to crack open Karl Windsor’s pretty head and take a look inside.

“I’m fine now, so please go back, Uncle.”

“But…”

“I want to bathe and change clothes. You’ve worked hard taking care of me, Uncle, so go back and rest well.”

Surprisingly, Karl got up without being more bothersome.

And Dana soon learned the reason why.

“Good heavens…”

In the mirror she checked belatedly.

There was a red mark left on her cheek.

‘Bad man.’

He ran away because he felt guilty.

 

* * *

 

After sending Karl away, Dana headed straight to the bathroom.

Even after taking a thorough shower, the stuffiness remained.

‘So stuffy.’

Her mind was complicated.

Even though there was no need for it to be.

‘Right. I’m going back to the capital now.’

When she returned, a divine trial would be held.

When the divine trial was held, even if there was some commotion, she would ultimately succeed in breaking off the engagement.

By then, the fact that Karl’s Retilan Mine was fake would also be exposed, and when he fell, she would be able to claim the ring…

She would be able to return home soon.

Home. To Yeon Dana’s body. To her world.

But Danael and the Sanctuary would remain eternal mysteries.

Thinking that way, her chest felt so blocked she couldn’t bear it.

Would that really be okay? Could she be satisfied with that?

‘This won’t do.’

Dana got up. As she headed to the deck to get some fresh air.

“Danae?”

Someone called her from behind.

“Lady Danae Windsor?”

“…?”

Dana, who had casually turned around, was startled. That man was—

‘Emperor Justio?’

No, no.

It wasn’t Emperor Justio.

The brilliant golden hair—the symbol of the clan blessed by the sun god Ramun, the golden hair that was the symbol of the Grants Imperial Family—had made her mistake him for a moment.

‘He’s a bit shorter than the Emperor.’

And he had a slightly more angular jaw than the Emperor. This man was…

“Former Emperor?”

Wilhelm Grants. Lyos’s father.

Dana was bewildered. Why was the Former Emperor here? And.

“I finally get to meet you.”

Why does he have that expression?

His face showed a bewilderingly welcoming expression. No, beyond welcoming, it was almost moved to tears.

“I greet the Former Emperor.”

Though flustered, she tried to greet him with proper etiquette.

However, Wilhelm approached as if even that wasn’t necessary and grabbed her arm.

“You have no idea how much I’ve wanted to meet you.”

Why is he acting like this?

She could feel trembling in his grip on her arm.

Dana found it both surprising and unpleasant. What was this strange reaction about?

“I have something to tell you.”

“Your Majesty?”

“There’s a story I must convey to you. I’ve tried to meet you for so very long, but there were so many obstacles. You absolutely must know—”

“I’m sorry, but.”

Then a sharp voice cut off the Former Emperor’s words.

“Father.”

It was Lyos.

He was walking steadily from behind the Former Emperor.

“I have a prior engagement with my fiancée.”

He passed by the Former Emperor with a shockingly rude attitude and took Dana’s hand.

“I’ll excuse myself first.”

Then, before any reaction or response could come back, he pulled her hand and walked away.

‘Has he lost his mind!’

Treating the Former Emperor like this?

Dana looked back at the Former Emperor in horror. Sure enough, the Former Emperor was glaring at Lyos with terrifying eyes.

‘He must be crazy.’

Had he had a drink or something?

He couldn’t treat the Former Emperor like this in his right mind. No—more than that.

“Let go of this.”

Who was he to interfere with the conversation?

Dana gritted her teeth and spoke quietly.

“Let go of this, Lyos Grants.”

“I don’t want to.”

“What right do you have to interfere? I was having a conversation with the Former Emperor.”

Lyos grabbed her arm even more roughly and smiled crookedly.

“Why. Did you take a liking to my father?”
