Chapter 165
* * *
Whoosh! As she threw the documents, the flames in the fireplace blazed up even more fiercely.
Finally, the day of departure. She was disposing of personal documents and materials.
“And?”
And she was listening to the final report from Lete.
Since she hadn’t finished everything last night.
“And, I’ve deciphered part of the letter that was damaged by water last time.”
“You mean the one the eagle brought?”
“Yes.”
Dana received a single document that Lete handed her.
[Lyos’s Mother]
Dana furrowed her brow. What is this.
“Is this all?”
“Yes. I’m sorry. The rest was completely illegible.”
“No, I’m not blaming you.”
Honestly, it was amazing that he had figured out even this much.
It had been so water-damaged that it was completely unreadable…
‘But Lyos’s mother. What does this mean?’
Lyos’s birth mother who spent her entire life recuperating at the Sanctuary before dying.
She had heard that she was a foreign noble whom Former Emperor Wilhelm met during his travels abroad. And she was famous for having a secret wedding ceremony on her own.
Despite being a completely veiled figure, she succeeded in marriage without any controversy, and there were stories that it was thanks to the enormous dowry the woman brought. That amount supposedly silenced all the nobles.
That was all Dana knew about Lyos’s mother.
‘She’s similar to the Duchess of Windsor…’
As her thoughts reached this point, a strange chill washed over her.
That’s right. They are similar.
Both had never been seen by anyone.
Both recuperated at the Sanctuary before dying.
However, such cases were quite common.
There were more than a few nobles recuperating at the Sanctuary.
Since it was land where divine energy lingered, many wished to enter even if it cost astronomical amounts.
Though only a few were granted permission to enter the Sanctuary.
The Sanctuary was the land of the Diana Cult Leader, and Duke Windsor, the head of the New Faith faction—that is, Viego—would act as his representative and speak for him.
In other words, it was land that could only be entered with the cult leader’s permission through Viego Windsor.
‘So what was this letter trying to say?’
Dana sighed and threw that document into the flames as well.
“Miss.”
“Hm?”
“Should I investigate further?”
Dana looked up at Lete.
Certainly, if it were Lete, he could find out more. It would just take time.
“No.”
Dana shook her head. It would be a waste of time.
That is, a waste of Lete’s time.
By the time he found out, she wouldn’t be here.
“It’s fine.”
Lete didn’t respond. However, he didn’t particularly ask for a reason.
Dana opened a drawer and held out documents to him.
“Take this.”
“…”
Lete didn’t take it. Instead, he only glanced down at the documents with his black eyes. Then he asked.
“What is this.”
It was a low, very low voice.
“You’ve been doing such good work all this time. Think of it as a bonus.”
She had transferred a considerable amount of gold coins to Lete’s account. It was enough to live affluently for a lifetime.
“It’s fine.”
However, Lete didn’t accept it.
“I don’t need money, Miss.”
“Lete.”
“I’m satisfied working by your side, Miss.”
“Lete.”
When she called his name firmly once more, Lete closed his mouth. Dana held out the documents.
“Take it.”
Since childhood, Lete had been an obedient boy. And now as a young man, he was a loyal secretary.
He had never once gone against her will.
It had been that way since she picked him up and cared for him when he was collapsed and dying on the street during that cold winter.
So.
“Yes.”
As expected, he had no choice but to accept it like this.
Lete checked the documents. His deep eyes behind his silver-rimmed glasses sank very quietly.
Lete was wise.
So he must have sensed that this was a farewell.
“Come here.”
Dana stood up.
And for the first time in a long while, truly a very long while, she pulled him close and embraced him.
Come to think of it, she used to hug him like this often before. When he was shorter than her…
Should she tell him to take care? Or to stay healthy? Should she tell him to live happily?
In the end, she couldn’t bring herself to say any of it.
She simply left a kiss on Lete’s forehead. As if leaving all the luck she possessed here.
Lete said nothing.

Karl woke up early that morning and went downtown.
He first bought flowers. It was a bouquet of pure white roses that Dana liked.
And in preparation for any possible situation, he purchased emergency medicine, handcuffs, iron chains, and so on.
Then he suddenly stopped in front of a bookstore.
He bought that too. He should make desserts for Dana.
<50 Cooking Recipes to Please a Woman>
He bought this too.
‘We can’t eat out every time.’
The trip was planned to be quite long.
They would probably travel for over a month.
Perhaps they might even go to remote places where there were no people.
Of course, Dana didn’t know the trip would be this long.
That was something he could ask for understanding about gradually.
He should have finished preparing long ago. He had been so focused on the divorce that he hadn’t properly prepared for the trip.
Finding out about Sandra’s forty-seven lovers, who had now disappeared without a trace, had been quite exhausting work.
‘I should make lots of delicious things for her.’
He found himself humming. Cooking was one of Karl’s hobbies and specialties.
“It seems you’re planning to cook for your wife.”
Then someone who appeared to be the owner approached.
“Devoted husbands mostly look for that book. There are various books by that author – would you like to take a look?”
“Yes, let’s do that. And she’s not my wife.”
Karl obediently walked to the corner the owner guided him to. It was filled with the ‘Please a Woman’ series.
“How about this one?”
<50 Positions to Please a Woman>
Karl tilted his head and opened the book. After reading a few pages, he soon closed it and politely declined.
“I don’t need it.”
“Ah. You don’t need it.”
The owner somehow understood and showed a pleased smile.
“I also run a general store right next door. Something good came in – would you like to take a look?”
“Something good?”
“It’s something women really love. My wife loved it so much she was beside herself with joy.”
Beside herself with joy? What could it be?
Karl obediently followed behind the owner.
The owner, who moved to the general store right next to the bookstore, took out a small golden box and opened it to show him.
“It’s the latest contraceptive device.”
“…”
“It’s very precious. As you can see, it’s very clean and made of extremely thin material, so you can feel each other’s touch completely…”
“No, I don’t need something like this.”
Karl spoke firmly and only purchased the two books about desserts and meals.
And on the way back to the estate, Karl pondered what menu to make for Dana.
‘Dana didn’t like things that were too sweet.’
How cute. To dislike sweet things.
The gap between looking so sweet yet disliking sweet things was also so very lovable.
Karl, who had been smiling to himself, suddenly became serious. The book the owner had introduced and that latest whatever came to mind.
Displeasure immediately washed over him.
Because that night came to mind.
That bad guy Ignis. Why on earth did Dana…
‘No, no. Dana did nothing wrong.’
It was all Ignis’s fault. What did he know? The man should have taken care of everything.
Why did Dana choose such a guy?
He used to quite sympathize with Ignis, who was Windsor’s test subject. But after that day, his sympathy completely disappeared.
How could he defile such a child as an outlet for sexual desire?
Karl got off the carriage and walked through the corridor of the estate. Then he happened to encounter the man he had been thinking about.
It was Ignis.
It had been a long time. He hadn’t been seen recently, so Karl thought he had finally left the estate.
When he was about to pass by silently…
“Brother.”
A low call flowed from Ignis.
Karl turned around. Ignis was staring at him intently.
“It’s you, isn’t it?”
He asked, barely moving his lips.
“The person who told me to call you brother, it’s you.”
Did childhood memories come back? Karl nodded.
“That’s right.”
“And you stabbed my stomach recently.”
“I did.”
He didn’t deny it. Then flames blazed in Ignis’s red eyes.
“Why did you do that?”
“Why, you ask.”
He sighed and patted Ignis’s shoulder.
“Think carefully about what your sin is.”
When he was about to pass by like that.
Ignis grabbed his forearm tightly. It was tremendous grip strength, like being bitten by a crocodile.
“You.”
Ignis’s eyes boiled like red-hot lava.
“I’m going to kill you.”
“Sure. Try your best.”
How annoying.
He needed to hurry up and prepare for the trip, but this was nothing but bothersome. Karl roughly shook off Ignis.
“Uncle!”
A little later, when he came out carrying his travel bag, he could see Dana loading bags onto the luggage cart.
“You’re here?”
“Yeah.”
Karl held out a bouquet of pure white roses to her.
“Oh my. When did you buy these?”
“I went out briefly this morning.”
“Thank you. They’re so beautiful.”
Dana likes them. She smiles brightly.
Dana was so lovable that sometimes it made his heart ache.
Karl liked this sweet sensation.
“Shall we depart now?”
“Yes.”
However, just as one wouldn’t greedily devour food no matter how hungry.
No matter how lovable the other person was, he didn’t forget his purpose.
Karl needed a navigation chart.
