Chapter 166

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* * *

 

 

 

The trip with Dana was delightful.

 

“Uncle! Please try this on!”

 

The first destination, Tulip Village.

 

Dana personally placed a headband decorated with tulips on his head. Then she burst into laughter that sounded like clear bell chimes.

 

“Doesn’t it suit you perfectly? You look like a flower fairy, Uncle!”

 

Because it pleased her to see it, Karl wore the tulip headband all day long.

 

Dana laughing like a young girl was truly adorable.

 

 

 

The second destination. The coastal village.

 

“Uncle, the seawater is still cold! Come out quickly!”

 

Dana had jokingly said, “Since we’re at the sea, would you like to take a dip?” and Karl gladly entered the ocean.

 

“Please come out, Uncle!”

 

Then Dana panicked and frantically tried to get him out. Her face was so cute that Karl deliberately floated in the water for a long time.

 

 

 

“Are you two married?”

 

The third destination, the Empire’s largest amusement park village.

 

“May I draw a portrait of you?”

 

On their way out after riding the ferris wheel, an artist who drew portraits mistook them for a married couple.

 

“No. We’re not married.”

 

Karl immediately corrected him, but Dana tugged at his arm. Then she whispered softly.

 

“He said we look like a married couple.”

 

Dana winked at him. As if she had heard something amusing.

 

“I guess that’s how we look to others.”

 

It was a lovely smile.

 

 

 

“My goodness, Uncle! This is so delicious!”

 

The fourth destination, a remote rural village.

 

Dana tasted the dish Karl had cooked himself and exclaimed with wide eyes.

 

“You’re such a good cook?”

 

“Ahem.”

 

“It’s so, so, so delicious!”

 

It was the moment when the series books shined.

 

Karl was happy. Dana seemed happy too.

 

Thus they traveled around various parts of the Empire, and the trip lasted longer than expected.

 

Even after a week passed. Even after two weeks passed. Even after three weeks passed and they entered the fourth week.

 

Dana didn’t say they should go home.

 

He had worried about what to do if she wanted to return quickly before the period for inheritance rights was fulfilled.

 

Unexpectedly, Dana didn’t do that.

 

Instead, she said, “I wish this trip would never end.”

 

She also said, “I wish we could run away together like this.”

 

And she said, “How about we live under different names?”

 

Disguised as jokes, but thrown with serious intent.

 

Each time, Karl thought.

 

‘Dana is indeed adorable.’

 

He contemplated seriously and gravely.

 

‘No. This isn’t just adorable.’

 

Dana’s loveliness transcended all limits. ‘Cute’ – he could no longer contain Dana with such a common word.

 

So he needed some new word, but Karl hadn’t found a suitable one yet.

 

How should he describe this feeling?

 

‘Well, isn’t there a good word.’

 

The night he fell asleep while researching new words to praise Dana.

 

Karl had a dream.

 

 

 

“What is this, Uncle?”

 

 

 

It was a dream where Dana discovered his travel bag containing iron chains and handcuffs.

 

 

 

“What were you planning to do to me?”

 

 

 

Dana’s eyes filled with hatred and fear.

 

 

 

“I hate you. I really hate you, Uncle!”

 

 

 

There was no longer any affection in her eyes. Instead, they crawled with disgust.

 

 

 

“I hate you most in the world! Bug! Pest!”

 

 

 

“Ahhhhh I’m sorry for being a pest, Dana!”

 

He cried out in despair and bolted upright. Then he gasped heavily. His whole body was drenched in cold sweat.

 

Karl frantically looked around.

 

This was the bedroom. He was on the hotel room bed.

 

‘Was it a dream?’

 

Yes, a nightmare. Fortunately, it was a nightmare.

 

But.

 

‘If I’m unlucky, I’ll get caught.’

 

It was something that could happen in reality at any time.

 

If that happened, Dana would look at me with disgusted eyes. She would hate me, call me a bug. Call me a pest.

 

Is that all?

 

 

 

“I hate you most in the world!”

 

 

 

‘No way.’

 

It felt like all the blood in his body was freezing.

 

Karl kicked off from the bed and stood up.

 

He had to throw it away.

 

Before getting caught. Before being called a pest, quickly!

 

He took out the secretly hidden travel bag containing iron chains and handcuffs. Then he ran to a very distant place and threw it into the river with a splash.

 

The bag sank with loud ripples.

 

With this, all evidence had disappeared. Dana would never see that.

 

Only then did relief wash over him. Now he felt like he could live.

 

“Uncle? What are you doing at night?”

 

On his way back to the hotel room, he encountered Dana in the corridor.

 

“Hm? Oh, just taking a little night walk.”

 

“What if you run into a robber? Aren’t you scared walking around so late at night?”

 

Dana naturally wrapped her arm around his. Then Dana’s fresh, sweet scent gently wafted over.

 

At that moment, Karl felt a strange impulse.

 

He wanted to bite Dana.

 

Dana’s peach-colored cheeks, or her smooth nose bridge, or— anywhere. Anywhere would be fine.

 

It was a peculiar emotion he’d never felt before in his life, and Karl couldn’t understand what it was.

 

 

 

“Kyaa! That puppy is so cute I want to bite it!”

 

 

 

Come to think of it, Alice had said something like that before.

 

 

 

“Look at that baby. I want to bite those cheeks.”

 

 

 

Dana had said something like that too.

 

‘Ah. I see. When something is too cute, you want to bite it.’

 

It was probably that kind of feeling.

 

Just like wanting to bite puppies or babies, he wanted to bite Dana.

 

Then Dana asked a question.

 

“Uncle, is there really nothing you’re afraid of?”

 

“Hm?”

 

“Walking around alone late at night—I found it scary. Looking at you, Uncle, you seem like someone who’s not afraid of anything.”

 

How could every single word she said be so adorable?

 

Karl looked down at Dana’s round forehead and smiled. Then he answered.

 

“Yeah, there wasn’t.”

 

It was past tense.

 

“There wasn’t, but.”

 

He paused for a moment, then continued.

 

“I think something might have appeared.”

 

Then Dana tilted her head and looked up at him.

 

“What is it?”

 

Good question.

 

What exactly am I afraid of?

 

His emotions were too raw to put into words.

 

They seemed so unrefined, so primitive, that he couldn’t identify what they were.

 

So instead of speaking, Karl simply stroked her hair.

 

That was his true feeling.

 

 

 

* * *

 

 

 

The next day, Dana realized.

 

One of Karl’s travel bags had disappeared.

 

‘He threw it away.’

 

She had a rough idea of what might have been inside it.

 

Karl must have been gradually preparing to kill her. So now that it was gone, she knew.

 

‘Now the time has come.’

 

Of course, Karl would definitely kill her someday.

 

To obtain the navigation chart.

 

Dana believed without doubt in that truth she had seen with Divine Sight.

 

Karl Windsor was not someone who would forget his purpose.

 

However, by throwing away the travel bag, he had certainly created a small opening. How affectionately she had acted toward Karl all this time to create that opening.

 

‘I need to hurry and do it now.’

 

When cutting off Karl’s finger.

 

Now it was time to execute the plan.
