Chapter 145
“It’s fine. Please cast that Holy Magic on me.”
Lyos demanded with a voice that had become completely calm.
“I will receive Soul Judgment.”
“Your Highness the Crown Prince!”
“It is to prove the truth.”
Lyos was resolute. His face bore an unbreakable will, solid as a steel barrier that could never be destroyed.
“I will not accept any verdict without Soul Judgment.”
Something’s strange.
Dana bit her lower lip firmly.
Strange. Something is very strange.
A rough sense of unease seemed to scratch at the back of her neck.
Lyos would go that far?
Soul Judgment isn’t simple death. It’s the annihilation of the soul. Even knowing that.
And yet he’d accept it?
‘Has Lyos really gone mad?’
Without being insane, there’s no way he’d go that far. He wouldn’t gamble with his soul, not just his life.
‘Or is it a bluff?’
No. No.
That’s not a bluff. It wasn’t false either.
That was real.
Lyos was truly staking his soul to claim his innocence.
That wasn’t the only strange thing.
‘And why is she…’
Why is she trembling like this?
It wasn’t a mistake. Alice was trembling. She was terrified and anxious.
Dana clearly witnessed Alice’s cheek twitching.
This isn’t nervousness.
She’s paralyzed with fear.
Is she worried that Lyos might be in danger?
If not that.
Or…
At that moment, an ominous premonition flashed through her mind.
‘No way.’
This girl couldn’t possibly.
No way!
“…It cannot be done immediately.”
Then the Pope sighed in defeat, as if unable to overcome Lyos’s stubbornness.
“First, you must write a document stating that you will not hold the Papal Court responsible for anything if things go wrong.”
“Very well.”
Lyos nodded as if he had been waiting for this.
“I will write it in my office and return with the Crown Prince’s seal stamped on it. Please wait a moment.”
He walked steadily and unhesitatingly out of the Grand Chapel.
Bang. The moment the door closed, the Cardinals burst into protest.
“Your Holiness! What do you intend by saying such things!”
“Soul Judgment, you say?”
“Absolutely not!”
Then the Pope shook his head with a troubled expression.
“His Highness the Crown Prince will soon regain his reason. We must hope his mind changes while he goes to his office.”
“What if he continues to demand it?”
At Cardinal Felix’s question, the Pope was silent for a moment, but soon answered in a clear voice.
“Then I will accept His Highness the Crown Prince’s request.”
“Your Holiness!”
“This is the first divine trial held this century. A verdict must be reached somehow, mustn’t it?”
At the Pope’s conclusion, Dana made her decision.
‘I need to see.’
I need to see what will happen shortly.
Whether Lyos will really receive Soul Judgment, and if so, what the result will be.
No matter what, I must see.
So please, let Divine Sight open.
Dana concentrated all her nerves and commanded.
‘Hurry!’
But no matter how much she knocked, the door wouldn’t open.
Dana bit her lips tightly and clenched her fists. The pain of her fingernails digging into her palms was dizzying.
But Divine Sight wouldn’t open. It was the same as before.
Why was that? After properly awakening, whenever she concentrated this much, it would always open.
Why can’t she open Divine Sight anymore?
As if she can no longer know the future that follows…
‘Wait.’
A flash of lightning streaked through her mind.
If she can no longer see the future. Then.
‘What about the past?’
Dana closed her eyes again. Leaving behind the murmuring voices of the Cardinals, she concentrated with all her might.
If she can no longer see the future, show her the past.
‘Please.’
The night from 8 days ago.
‘Please, show me.’
What happened in Lyos’s bedroom?
‘Show me!’
Hurry!
At that moment, an eye as massive as a planet suddenly lifted its eyelid. Her soul split entirely and an eyeball was revealed through the gap.
The earth was her pupil. The sky was her field of vision. With those vast eyes, Dana finally,
Finally saw everything.
“Y-Your Highness?”
8 days ago.
The events that unfolded in Lyos’s bedroom on that dark night.
“Your Highness, why on earth.”
Alice wept delicately.
“Why on earth are you doing this?”
* * *
Huuuung. Alice burst into tears. She couldn’t bear the misery.
“How can you just sleep like this!”
Alice grabbed Lyos and shook him.
But he was in deep sleep and showed no signs of waking up.
“Wake up, Your Highness!”
What did that potion say again.
“Mix in the body hair and feed it to His Highness the Crown Prince. You’ll be able to have your wedding night easily.”
Right, and after that.
Yoris—Mother’s servant had explained in detail before leaving.
“It’s a drug that maximizes sexual desire for the owner of that body hair.”
“Se-sexual desire?”
“Yes. But Miss.”
Yoris had asked carefully.
“Miss Alice, you get along well with His Highness the Crown Prince, don’t you?”
“Why, why do you ask?”
“If there are negative emotions like hatred, loathing, or disgust toward the owner of the body hair, the side effect will be falling into a powerful sleep spell.”
“Falling into a sleep spell?”
“Yes. They say even if the world collapsed, he wouldn’t wake up for twelve hours.”
Right. That’s what he said.
“How can you just sleep….”
She absolutely couldn’t believe it.
‘Could that medicine have been made by a quack?’
No.
Mother said she got the medicine from someone more trustworthy than anyone, from a very old acquaintance.
If Mother was that confident, it must really be from a reliable person.
Then why did he just fall asleep?
Of course, they said if he hated, loathed, or was disgusted, it would act as just a sleeping drug with no effect.
But that can’t be!
His Highness loves me!
“Huuk, huuk, Your Highness, Your Highness! Wake up!”
I’m crying like a mad beast like this.
Normally he would have woken up from sleep by now.
“They say even if the world collapsed, he wouldn’t wake up for twelve hours.”
No. That can’t be.
Is the medicine wrong after all? Maybe it’s just a sleeping drug?
“Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highnessss!”
Alice shook Lyos to wake him up. Please, please let it just be a sleeping drug.
However.
“They say even if the world collapsed, he wouldn’t wake up for twelve hours.”
“No. Wake up. It’s a lie!”
That effect really manifested.
The side effect of sleeping like the dead when disgusted or hating the owner of the body hair.
‘I put in my hair, but then why.’
Why did the side effect appear? Why on earth!
Alice burst into tears because she absolutely couldn’t believe it.
“Huuk, huuuk.”
She was confused. Does His Highness perhaps not love me?
Just thinking about it made her terrified.
“No, that can’t be. Something must be wrong.”
She jumped up from her seat and spun around the room.
But Mother. But the medicine. But. But, but, but—
At that moment Alice’s eyes caught the wine bottle on the nightstand. Alice roughly grabbed the bottle and drank it down as if pouring the whole thing.
Gulp, gulp, gulp.
Alice, who emptied the entire bottle of wine in an instant, let out rough breaths and slumped down.
‘Something must be wrong.’
His Highness is just tired.
Right. He said he was tired today.
‘That’s right. His Highness loves me.’
“I’ve come to love you. Alice Windsor.”
One day suddenly, he confessed to me that he loved me, not Sister Dana.
“You’re much more attractive than Danae Windsor. I love you more.”
That confession can’t be fake.
If I was disgusting, if he hated me to death, he wouldn’t have done all that while enduring everything, right?
