Chapter 162

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At that moment, a memory from the past flickered like a light bulb turning on.

 

 

 

“In my world, my name was Yeon Dana.”

 

 

 

Ah, that’s not right.

 

I had said it with my own mouth.

 

When was that? When did we have that conversation…?

 

“Ah!”

 

At that moment, a headache rushed in. Like a tsunami striking her head, Dana squeezed her eyes shut. Her vision went black, then turned white.

 

 

 

“Yeon Dana?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“My goodness. What an adorable name. I want to bite it.”

 

“How can you bite a name?”

 

 

 

Right, I had forgotten, but we did have that conversation.

 

Uncle definitely said that back then…

 

But when exactly was that?

 

“Dana?”

 

Dana suddenly lifted her head. She saw Karl’s surprised face.

 

“Are you alright?”

 

“…”

 

Dana stared up at him blankly. Then she realized.

 

‘What?’

 

Just moments ago, she had been standing in the middle of Karl’s bedroom.

 

This wasn’t inside Karl’s bedroom.

 

In front of Karl’s bedroom door.

 

She was sitting collapsed in the corridor where she had been hesitating and worrying, unable to even knock on the door.

 

“Dana, are you okay?”

 

And Karl hurriedly threw open the door and approached her. With a swift motion, he lifted her up and carried her into his room.

 

“What’s wrong? Hm? Why were you sitting collapsed in front of the door?”

 

Dana instinctively wrapped her arms around his shoulders to support her weight. The sound of her pounding heart seemed to echo in her throat.

 

But she quickly understood the situation. This was a familiar sensation.

 

Divine Sight had activated.

 

After a very long time, on its own.

 

She had opened the bedroom door, entered, and witnessed what would happen in the future.

 

‘But… I couldn’t see the future anymore?’

 

During the Divine Trial, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t see the future.

 

So why could she suddenly see the future again?

 

“For now, lie down here. I’ll call a doctor.”

 

Karl laid her on his bed and straightened his back.

 

No, he tried to straighten up.

 

“Uncle.”

 

But Dana grabbed his arm.

 

“Don’t go.”

 

“But.”

 

“Don’t go, please…”

 

“…”

 

Karl looked down at her with eyes full of concern.

 

But that was all. Unable to shake off her hand, he sat down on the edge of the bed beside her.

 

“Poor thing. Look how feverish Dana is.”

 

Karl placed his hand on her forehead and clicked his tongue. He looked as distressed as if he were the one who was sick.

 

“I really think I should call a doctor. Your fever is severe.”

 

“…”

 

“Hm? I’ll be right back. Let me go.”

 

Dana lay on the bed and quietly looked up at him.

 

“Dana? Hm? Why aren’t you answering?”

 

Disheveled platinum hair, forest-green eyes filled with worry, lips that kept moving restlessly.

 

Even that appearance was so wonderful.

 

And because it was so much like usual, what had just happened felt like a nightmare.

 

But Dana knew. That it wasn’t a nightmare.

 

As she had seen with Divine Sight, if she asked for the ring, he would refuse as sharply as a blade.

 

And if she asked for the ring in exchange for his fortune…

 

 

 

“Ownership of the navigation chart can only be transferred through death.”

 

“You’re trying to return to being Yeon Dana, aren’t you?”

 

 

 

Ah, I really hate this.

 

In an instant, all the hair on her body stood on end. A chill ran down her spine as coldness washed over her.

 

He hadn’t particularly gotten angry or raised his voice.

 

‘It was so scary…’

 

It was as eerie as seeing a ghost.

 

She never, never wanted to see Karl’s face like that again.

 

‘I shouldn’t mention the fortune.’

 

Especially the Holy Land Navigation Chart. That seemed to be his reverse scale.

 

And most importantly.

 

‘I can’t let him find out I’m after the ring.’

 

So she deliberately didn’t even glance toward Karl’s hand, toward the ring. In case he might notice her desire for the ring.

 

If she demanded that, Karl would immediately realize. That she was trying to open the Dimensional Gate and return to being Yeon Dana. Then…

 

Then?

 

What would happen then?

 

What would occur after that?

 

She couldn’t know.

 

She hadn’t seen that far.

 

But it was certain that something very unpleasant would happen.

 

“Dana. Are you really okay?”

 

So, she absolutely couldn’t be found out.

 

“Yes. Uncle…”

 

Dana murmured in a whisper as she grasped Karl’s fingers as if wrapping around them.

 

“Actually, I have something to tell you.”

 

“What is it?”

 

But she had no intention of giving up on the ring.

 

Absolutely not.

 

“Tell me. What do you want to say?”

 

However, deals didn’t work on this man with the face of a gentle lamb. Neither tears nor pleading had been of any use.

 

Then there was only one method left.

 

“Uncle.”

 

“Hm?”

 

“Don’t you have any thoughts of divorcing Aunt?”

 

“….”

 

Karl’s eyes widened.

 

He stared down at her blankly, then tilted his head. He looked like he couldn’t believe what he had just heard.

 

“Sorry, Dana. Could you say that again?”

 

“I asked if you had any thoughts of divorcing Aunt.”

 

“Wh-why?”

 

Karl stammered as if flustered.

 

Dana slowly straightened her back. As their eye levels became similar, she could see Karl’s lips stiffen.

 

Dana stretched out both arms and wrapped them around Karl’s neck. She buried her face in his nape and whispered.

 

“Aunt is having an affair….”

 

She had no idea what expression to make, so she simply chose to hide it.

 

“She’s meeting another man behind your back, Uncle.”

 

There was no response from Karl, who had frozen stiff. She couldn’t even hear his breathing.

 

If not for the heartbeat she could hear from his chest, she might have suspected he had died.

 

After some silence passed, Karl muttered in a low, cracked voice.

 

“An affair? Sandra?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“Is that really true?”

 

“It’s true, Uncle. I witnessed it myself.”

 

“This can’t be. What a shock.”

 

“I can’t understand Aunt at all. How could she do such a thing when she has such a good husband like you, Uncle? My heart aches so much….”

 

Saying this, she held him even tighter as if she might break.

 

“Uncle, you’re more precious to me than anyone else. More than Viego Windsor, more than Noah.”

 

More than anyone.

 

Her whispering lips brushed against his ear.

 

“That’s why I want you to be happy, Uncle. Truly.”

 

Saying this, she felt like she was truly holding the most precious thing in this world.

 

“Do you know? You made me happy, Uncle.”

 

“…I did?”

 

“Yes. When things went wrong with my former fiancé, it was very difficult… but I was able to overcome it thanks to you, Uncle.”

 

“….”

 

“I really love the time I spend with you, Uncle.”

 

She spoke in a sincere tone.

 

Perhaps because she was so immersed, it almost seemed real.

 

“So much that I want to monopolize you, Uncle.”

 

She thought it was a very hot and passionate voice. Even to her own ears, knowing it was a complete lie, it sounded that way.

 

“….”

 

But there was no response. Silence continued. It was a very thick and deep silence.

 

“I’m sorry.”

 

At the moment she judged it was appropriate, Dana pulled away from Karl with her face flushed red.

 

“I’m sorry for saying strange things, Uncle.”

 

“….”

 

“I’ll be going now.”

 

She got down from the bed and passed by Karl, who was still maintaining his silence. She didn’t have the courage to look at his expression, so she walked quickly.

 

And then.

 

“Don’t go.”

 

A gentle voice came back.

 

Karl grabbed her arm. He turned her around very softly.

 

Dana finally saw his face.

 

Karl wasn’t smiling, but it was different from that expressionless look she had glimpsed in the future.

 

“It’s okay, Dana.”

 

It was sweet.

 

His eyes, his cheeks, his lips seemed made of sugar. As if they would taste sweet if she stuck out her tongue to lick them.

 

“No, please do that.”

 

Karl’s smiling eyes narrowed. His green pupils sparkled particularly bewitchingly.

 

“You can do whatever you want.”

 

“…Whatever I want?”

 

“Yes. Whatever it may be.”

 

Liar.

 

Dana forced strength into her lips that wanted to twist.

 

Liar. No matter how much I want it, no matter how much I beg, you’ll never give me that ring.

 

“I want you to divorce, Uncle.”

 

“Of course that’s what should happen. Now that I know, I can’t just let it slide.”

 

Karl nodded seriously.

 

“Adultery is a very vulgar and wicked act, Dana. It’s something that cannot be tolerated or forgiven between men and women. Of course you know that too… keep it in mind.”

 

For a moment she felt like laughing. No, like crying.

 

Because Karl Windsor was both ridiculous and frightening.

 

According to the surveillance agent attached to Sandra, Karl already knew about his wife’s affair. He knew but pretended not to know and tolerated it….

 

Yet he decided on divorce so easily at Dana’s words.

 

This man seemed insane.

 

She couldn’t understand him. She couldn’t even guess what might be inside this person.

 

“I’m relieved.”

 

However, Dana dutifully squeezed out tears of joy.

 

“Don’t cry. Please. Okay?”

 

“I’m sorry. It was so difficult to tell you this. I was worried you might be deeply hurt….”

 

“It’s fine. I’m rather grateful you told me. As expected, only Dana worries about me.”

 

Karl wiped away her tears. After receiving his touch for a while and composing her fake tears, she asked.

 

“Uncle.”

 

“Yes?”

 

“You said you’d grant what I want, right?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“I want to travel with you, Uncle.”

 

“Travel?”

 

As if it was an unexpected suggestion, Karl raised his eyebrows.

 

Dana avoided his gaze and blushed.

 

“Anywhere is fine. I’d like to leave the capital for a few days and have a change of mood….”

 

“….”

 

“If it’s burdensome, you can refuse.”

 

“There’s no way I’d refuse. I’m certainly fine with it.”

 

A slight confusion was mixed in Karl’s voice. But it was only momentary, as he laughed like a sigh and stroked her head.

 

“I’ll divorce first. If your feelings haven’t changed after that, we’ll talk about it again then.”

 

“Yes.”

 

Dana thought with a smiling face.

 

I should have done this from the start.

 

I’ve taken too many detours.

 

‘I should have aimed for cutting off that finger from the beginning….’

 

She had chosen the safe path and even risen to the position of deputy family head, but had failed spectacularly.

 

Now there was only one method left.

 

‘I’m going to cut off Karl Windsor’s finger.’

 

She could do it.

 

If it was now.

 

It would have been impossible before.

 

And it would be impossible for anyone else.

 

But the current Danae Windsor could do it.

 

No, only the current Danae Windsor could cut off Karl Windsor’s finger.

 

With the relationship they had built up with burning affection and trust. If it was now, when he would willingly divorce at her request.

 

She could make Karl completely let his guard down.

 

Cutting off his finger—if luck was on her side, if she gave it her all—seemed like it might succeed.

 

But what came after was the problem.

 

Escaping from an angry Karl Windsor after his finger was cut off was impossible for her alone.

 

She needed to take refuge somewhere safe until she could open the Dimensional Gate.

 

‘When escaping after cutting off his finger, I’ll need help.’

 

Dana closed her eyes and recalled the face of one man.

 

There was a suitable accomplice.

 

 

 

* * *

 

 

 

A week later.

 

Karl Windsor got divorced.

 

It was the fastest divorce ruling in the Empire’s history, with the grounds being his wife’s adultery.
