Chapter 164

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* * *

 

 

 

In the deep dawn, Dana walked through the garden.

 

It was to meet Viego.

 

‘Where could he be?’

 

According to his aide, he had gone out for a garden walk and hadn’t returned.

 

Finding him in the garden wasn’t easy. Windsor Garden was excessively vast, so deep inside it spread out like a small forest.

 

Dana loved this forest.

 

The scent of pine trees filling the forest. Walking while breathing in this fragrance, you’d come across a quaint sheep ranch…

 

‘Ah, there it is.’

 

Yes, right here.

 

Long white wooden fences. Beyond them, fields could be seen, along with flocks of sheep grazing and…

 

‘Huh?’

 

A man.

 

A very tall man was stroking the sheep.

 

Could he be an employee working at the ranch? He was a young man with a picturesque silhouette from behind.

 

A white shirt made of smooth fabric flowed down his broad back, and that silhouette was quite striking.

 

Then the young man turned his body sideways, revealing his profile. Platinum hair flowing down to his forehead swayed softly in the dawn breeze.

 

‘Ah…’

 

It took about 5 seconds before she belatedly realized.

 

That the man was Viego Windsor.

 

The reason for her delayed recognition was that it couldn’t possibly be Viego.

 

It wasn’t because his bangs were casually down.

 

It wasn’t because of his loose attire either.

 

It was because he was touching a sheep’s head.

 

With his bare hands. Without white gloves.

 

Moreover, his touch seemed familiar, as the sheep closed its eyes and rubbed its nose against his palm. Baa. It let out a pleased bleat.

 

That scene was like an illustration from some romantic fairy tale, which made it bizarre.

 

Because it was a scene where Viego could never be the protagonist.

 

“…”

 

Their eyes met at that moment. Dana was instantly flustered.

 

“I’m sorry.”

 

She didn’t know why these words came out first, but it felt like the right thing to say.

 

She had clearly interrupted his very personal rest, perhaps even a secret moment.

 

Viego didn’t respond. He simply removed his hand from the sheep and looked at her.

 

“…Brother Viego?”

 

Or not?

 

Could he be someone completely different who just resembled him?

 

That might be possible. Right now, his shirt buttons were undone enough to show a glimpse of his collarbone, and his sleeves were roughly rolled up, revealing his forearms.

 

She had never even imagined Viego in such careless attire, not even in dreams.

 

And touching sheep with his bare hands, no less.

 

He was someone with germaphobia who terribly disliked touching anything with bare skin.

 

Just when she had reached the delusion that he might be a hidden twin.

 

“What’s the matter?”

 

His lips finally opened.

 

“State your business and disappear.”

 

“…”

 

It really is Viego.

 

“I have something I’d like to ask. About the letter that revealed His Highness the Crown Prince’s affair a year ago…”…”

 

Dana’s words trailed off. Viego suddenly began approaching her!

 

Step by step. The sound of grass rustling under his shoes could be heard. Dana tensed up.

 

Why? Suddenly? Why is he coming closer?

 

When Viego finally stood in front of her, his body scent immediately filled her nostrils.

 

The refreshing scent of pine trees. And the subtle smell of wildflowers.

 

It was bewildering that such a verdant fragrance emanated from Viego. Perhaps that’s why her heart stirred.

 

 

 

 

 

“Your voice is too quiet.”

 

He spoke in a voice as calm as this deep night.

 

“Even the chirping of insects would be louder than your voice.”

 

It wouldn’t be that bad. Dana calmed her startled heart.

 

“The letter. I’m curious if you gave it to me.”

 

Perhaps conscious of his assessment that her voice was quiet, she put strength into her throat.

 

“The letter I found on my desk about a year ago. The letter denouncing Lyos’s affair.”

 

It was simple curiosity. Since it was the last day, she just wanted to satisfy it without reservation.

 

“That’s right.”

 

Viego readily admitted it. He didn’t seem to have any intention of hiding it.

 

Dana was genuinely curious.

 

“Why did you convey it through a letter? You could have told me directly in person.”

 

“Because it had to be this way.”

 

“Pardon?”

 

“Because I had to see you and converse with you.”

 

He answered with a delicate expressionlessness devoid of any particular malice.

 

“Like now.”

 

“…”

 

Ah, right.

 

This is the kind of person he was.

 

“If facing me and having a conversation is so unpleasant, why didn’t you just leave me alone?”

 

Dana glared at him coldly.

 

“Why did you meddle in my affairs? Wasn’t the time spent writing the letter precious to you?”

 

“You were too pathetic to just watch.”

 

It was a pure voice that seemed to have no intention of insulting her whatsoever. Even the moonlight faintly breaking over his smooth cheek was so sacred it was maddening.

 

“I only informed you because you were blinded by your lover and couldn’t see his true nature in the end.”

 

“And so? Was it so pathetic that you couldn’t bear to watch anymore?”

 

“There were quite many such moments.”

 

He quietly affirmed.

 

“I find you troublesome.”

 

Dana was dumbfounded.

 

Troublesome. But why exactly?

 

She hadn’t been bothersome all this time. Most of the time, she had been avoiding him.

 

“You…”

 

Viego drew out his words as he looked down at her obliquely. It was a precise gaze as if measuring her specifications.

 

“You asked me.”

 

She was captured in those mathematical eyes.

 

“As my deputy family head, you became my life companion, so would that be alright?”

 

“….”

 

In that moment, Dana realized.

 

That joke she had thrown out back then.

 

That light sentence she had casually tossed out with a laugh had been weighing heavily inside Viego Windsor all this time.

 

“When I thought about it, I didn’t like it.”

 

And he seemed to have finally found his answer.

 

“So forget it.”

 

Dana gripped her skirt. Surely not.

 

“What should I forget?”

 

“Entrusting you with the deputy family head position, all of it.”

 

Her face burned as if she had been slapped.

 

As expected, he meant to strip her of the deputy family head position.

 

How could he do this?

 

In an instant, the deputy family head position was taken away. Just with this brief conversation.

 

Of course, she didn’t need the deputy family head position. What she needed was the sacred relic.

 

But to revoke it so easily.

 

All the countless efforts and time she had put in flashed through her mind.

 

The fruit she had finally obtained had just vanished like bubbles.

 

With just one whim from Viego Windsor.

 

It felt hollow.

 

If she had planned to continue living here, how heartbroken would she be at this moment?

 

“Fine. Do as you wish.”

 

Her heart seemed to freeze. Dana glared at Viego and spoke coldly.

 

“Windsor, which Brother loves so dearly. I could never love it. Rather, it’s so suspicious that it makes me uncomfortable, you know?”

 

Then Viego tilted his face. His golden hair swayed beautifully above his eyebrows.

 

“Suspicious? What is?”

 

“Are you asking because you don’t know?”

 

Dana clenched her fists and shouted.

 

“Countless people died on Saint Grave Island. You covered it up, didn’t you? I find it suspicious that the Diana Ship Passenger Bereaved Families don’t find it suspicious either. What kind of comfort did you give the bereaved families to make them keep their mouths shut?”

 

The doubts she had pushed into a corner of her heart all this time came bursting out in succession.

 

“And the Windsor Family Men, they all have frighteningly excellent physical abilities and their recovery ability is truly monstrous. What exactly did you do to make them like that?”

 

Crash. It was like a dam had burst. There was no reason to hold back anymore.

 

“You know what I find most suspicious? The Sanctuary. That place where I supposedly recuperated, it’s actually Treasure Island, isn’t it? What exactly is that island? What exactly are you doing on that island?”

 

“You don’t need to know.”

 

“It’s not that I don’t need to know, but that I shouldn’t know, right? Windsor has so many secrets. How dirty must your background be… But you can’t hide the stench, Brother.”

 

She had uttered vulgar words, but she didn’t regret it.

 

“Mother too, and the Duchess of Windsor too, supposedly spent their entire lives recuperating at the Sanctuary due to poor health before passing away, right? No one has actually seen them. Do they even exist?”

 

That man also acted as if he had a blade in his mouth, so why shouldn’t she do the same?

 

“That’s also something you don’t need to know.”

 

However, no matter what words she spat out, they shattered without even reaching the tip of his eyebrow.

 

“Danae Windsor. You’re not a Windsor, and you’re not someone who fits with Windsor either.”

 

Instead, he seemed to have become even more solid.

 

“I wish you would disappear from Windsor as soon as possible.”

 

Suddenly she felt deflated. The strength left her lips completely.

 

‘Thank goodness.’

 

That thought came first.

 

Because today was the last day. Because now it was farewell to Windsor forever.

 

If it hadn’t been, that man would have dealt her tremendous despair at this moment.

 

But her heart felt cold. She was disgusted by his bleakness.

 

The gentleness that had softly caressed the sheep’s face just moments ago, the lamb-like meekness and untainted purity of a shepherd beloved by God in scripture, even that seemed like just an illusion.

 

Perhaps she had really seen it wrong.

 

Viego nodded his head.

 

“If you’re done with your business, go.”

 

Why? To spend time with the sheep again?

 

You hate touching humans so you always wear gloves, but animals are fine, I suppose?

 

She was about to say that sarcastically, but realizing she didn’t want to exchange even words with him anymore, she simply turned around.

 

This would be the last time forever.

 

There was no need for farewell greetings.

 

Dana walked away step by step. Each step felt light. She was rather grateful.

 

He had helped ensure not even a shred of attachment remained for the Windsor Family.

 

She could only be thankful.

 

 

 

That was the last conversation between Danae Windsor and Viego Windsor.
