Chapter 133

“You’re out of your mind.”

Dana roughly shook off Lyos’s hand.

“Just because you’re a womanizer doesn’t mean you should think I’m the same.”

At that, Lyos frowned and retorted.

“I’m a womanizer?”

“That’s right.”

“How ridiculous. As if you’re any better?”

“…”

What nonsense. As she glared at him in disbelief, Lyos laughed irritably.

“You’re the one who’s crazy about men, Danae Windsor. There’s never a day you don’t have a man by your side, is there?”

“…”

“That secretary you brought and raised. Or that pretty-faced cousin brother of yours. You’ve always been switching them out and keeping them around. Isn’t that right?”

Dana narrowed her eyes.

Was he talking about Lete and Lumiere now? Well, Lete aside.

“How surprising that you’d refer to Lumiere in such a way.”

To mockingly speak of even Lumiere like that.

“Weren’t you two close? I understood you studied abroad together.”

“Of course we’re close. Lumiere was the person who served as a bridge between Alice and me.”

Lyos clicked his tongue as if pitying her.

“You didn’t even know that and followed Lumiere around so devotedly. That foolish sight of yours was pitiful to watch.”

“…”

Dana pressed her lips tightly together.

At the very least, those weren’t words that should come from Lyos, who had deceived her more actively than anyone else.

However, she didn’t argue back any further.

The more she exchanged words with him, the more she listened to his words, the colder her head became like ice.

Even the energy to raise her voice was too precious to waste on such a bastard.

“What’s this?”

Then Lyos poked her cheek with his finger.

“Did an insect bite you?”

Dana fiercely slapped his finger away. However, instead of withdrawing his hand, Lyos grabbed her chin and lifted it.

“Behave yourself properly, Danae Windsor.”

Squeeze. His grip tightened with force.

“You’re going to be my wife soon. How can you have such blemishes?”

Dana didn’t answer, let alone look at him. As if this irritated him, annoyance flickered in Lyos’s eyes.

“Danae Windsor.”

He stared piercingly at Dana who was ignoring him, then spat out.

“It seems we should hurry up the marriage.”

He immediately continued quickly.

“I’ll have preparations made as soon as we return to the capital.”

What?

Her gaze turned involuntarily. When their eyes met, Lyos smiled darkly.

“Since the Former Emperor has returned to the capital after so long, wouldn’t it be better to hold it at this opportunity?”

Lyos narrowed his brow as if the thought alone was bothersome.

“The wedding will be modest since we’re rushing it, but there’s no need to make it grand, right? Since it’s a formal marriage anyway, let’s get it over with as quickly as possible.”

That bastard.

Dana glared at him. However, she didn’t open her lips until the end.

As she continued to remain silent, Lyos’s lips twisted even more.

“Shall we go to the Southern Continent for our honeymoon?”

“Isn’t that enough nonsense? Let go of this hand.”

She finally answered. However, Lyos persistently tried to continue the insults.

“Alice said she’s curious about the Southern Continent. It wouldn’t be bad to go at this opportunity.”

“…”

“Ah, Alice will be joining us on the honeymoon too, but that’s fine, right?”

He finally succeeded in making her furious.

“How disgusting.”

Dana glared at him fiercely and condemned him. Strangely, Lyos was wearing a deliberately benevolent smile.

“What’s disgusting?”

“Your Highness’s character. I was a foolish blind woman for once loving someone like you.”

“It’s laughable that you mention character, Danae Windsor. You fell for me at first sight when you saw my face anyway.”

“…”

“You even fell for my crying face. That’s not exactly normal taste, is it?”

“Yes, that’s why I’m saying I was a foolish blind woman. I also learned the lesson that falling for someone based only on looks is also a very foolish thing to do.”

After responding coldly, she grabbed his wrist and pushed it away.

Fortunately, Lyos didn’t hold on any longer.

“I’m giving you advice for your own good.”

Instead, he threw cold words at her back as she turned away.

“It would be better not to get close to my father.”

Dana ignored those words and walked away. With each step she took, her head became as cold as ice.

Hurry up and get the marriage over with?

Go on a honeymoon together with Alice?

‘No, before that, you’ll be standing in the Sacred Court.’

Competitive spirit surged within her. She wanted to quickly shatter that face that believed without doubt that they would marry.

Dana earnestly hoped.

‘I hope we arrive at the capital quickly.’

When they returned to the capital, she hoped the Emperor would have prepared the sacred trial.

That Karl Windsor’s bankruptcy was imminent.

She hoped and hoped earnestly.

* * *

Several days passed after that, and finally the long journey came to an end.

When they finally arrived at the capital, the atmosphere in the capital was not just bleak but ominous.

[The Tragedy of the Diana!]

The incident from that day had become known.

[A sudden tsunami struck Saint Grave Island.]

The truth was considerably distorted.

[As a result, all passengers who visited the island are known to have been swept away by the tsunami and gone missing…]

[Meanwhile, Danae Windsor and Lumiere Windsor, who miraculously survived, are having a moment of silent mourning for the deceased…]

“This incident will be handled this way.”

Viego Windsor handed over the newspaper and said.

“So you should keep your mouth shut like this too.”

To think this is what he says as soon as I return and see his face.

Dana looked at Viego without a word.

He, whom she hadn’t seen in quite a while, was colder than when she had seen him before. His green eyes, which didn’t show even a trace of warmth, were chilling to the point of being eerie.

‘As expected.’

This was the response she had anticipated.

Viego had concealed and manipulated the truth.

Just like he had done in Kaltusa Territory, this time too.

Though she had suspected this would happen…

‘To think he wouldn’t even return the bodies to the bereaved families.’

She hadn’t expected him to respond so ruthlessly.

There was no tsunami.

The passengers’ bodies were damaged, but they remained intact on the island.

I saw them scattered across the island, torn to shreds by the giants and skeletons—

‘Of course, if this incident leaked out, the Windsor Family would be in trouble.’

No matter how much they claim this was the work of the Barbarian Tribe.

Still, Windsor wouldn’t be able to avoid responsibility either.

Viego had made the best decision to avoid that blow.

As a family head, he was frighteningly excellent, and as a human, he was frighteningly cold-hearted.

Dana looked at Viego sitting with his back to the sunlight. Resolving never to make that person an enemy, she spoke very carefully.

“Brother. On that island, I saw a priest named Danael. But she looked exactly like me…”

Then Viego cut her off sharply.

“I don’t have time to talk with you right now, so submit it as a report.”

“…”

Dana closed her mouth.

If he didn’t have time to talk, then why did he call for her?

‘I was about to go straight to the Imperial Palace.’

The Pope was currently in the capital.

He had visited along with three cardinals.

Officially, it was a tour to console those affected by the Diana disaster, but.

‘No, the Emperor summoned them.’

Dana was certain.

Emperor Justio had kept his promise.

The Emperor had succeeded in securing the Pope and three cardinals needed to open a sacred trial.

She had been about to meet the Emperor immediately to set a date for opening the Sacred Court— but upon hearing that Viego urgently summoned her, she had turned toward the office.

But to think he didn’t even have time for conversation, then why on earth…

“You must have heard that the Windsor Estate has gained a new member.”

“Yes.”

Dana nodded.

“Who is that person?”

No answer came. In the ensuing silence, Viego tapped the documents with the tip of his fountain pen before speaking.

“That person is currently having trouble adapting to this estate.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. So you’ll need to stay by their side for a while to care for and help them.”

Care for them?

Could it possibly be a child?

“Alright.”

Dana readily accepted. This worked out well. It would have been troublesome if she were assigned to travel to distant regions before the sacred trial opened.

“Yes, I’ll do that. If you could introduce me…”

That’s when it happened. Bang! The door opened so loudly it seemed like it might fall off its hinges.

And then came a man’s voice.

“What is it.”

That voice struck the back of her head. Dana was so startled that she unconsciously gripped her clothes tightly.

“What is it, I said.”

What?

“What’s with summoning people to come and go.”

This voice, it’s that person’s voice.

‘No. That can’t be.’

It must be a similar voice.

Thinking that, she slowly turned her head. And the next moment, she shuddered from a lightning-like shock.

A man with flame-like eyes was standing there.

The man smiled violently and sneered.

“What’s with this girl now.”

He was the man she had killed.
