Chapter 170

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lyos and me?

 

My mind went completely blank. No thoughts flowed through at all. The back of my head throbbed as if it had split open.

 

And something began to flow in.

 

 

 

“You say no?”

 

 

 

Through the crack, some memory…

 

 

 

“You say I’m your younger brother?”

 

 

 

Ah. Dana squeezed her eyes shut tight.

 

 

 

“You’re abandoning me for such a trivial reason?”

 

 

 

‘No, not now.’

 

Dana knew what this was.

 

It was Divine Sight. Divine Sight was opening on its own again.

 

After seeing with Divine Sight, Dana was always drained. Sometimes she fainted.

 

So no, it couldn’t happen. Not now.

 

The sun would rise soon. I need to open the Dimensional Gate…

 

But she couldn’t stop it. It was like a natural phenomenon—a tsunami or storm—when it came, she could only endure it.

 

Dana gasped and hurriedly put her hand in her pocket. She gripped the Sacred Relic. She tried to open the door immediately, but it still wasn’t enough.

 

It wasn’t time yet to open the Dimensional Gate.

 

‘Then at least please don’t let me faint.’

 

Dawn was slowly breaking now. At least grant me that much hope, please.

 

As if responding, a faint power flowed from the Sacred Relic in her hand. And at that moment, crash! With the sound of the world shattering, Divine Sight opened.

 

Memories poured out as if they had been waiting.

 

 

 

“You said you loved me.”

 

 

 

It was Lyos.

 

Lyos stared directly at her.

 

The bangs covering his forehead, that black hair swaying near his eyebrows.

 

 

 

“So how can you do this?”

 

 

 

His black eyes were like blazing hellfire.

 

 

 

“How could you try to leave me again?”

 

 

 

At that moment, memories from that time came flooding back. The emotions, the feelings were sharp enough to make her shudder.

 

Dana was afraid of the man before her. He was terrifying. Was that why? She was crying.

 

Ah, no. She wasn’t crying just from fear.

 

 

 

“Are you insane?”

 

 

 

Lyos had killed someone.

 

 

 

“How could you do such a thing!”

 

 

 

It was someone who had tried to help Dana.

 

She didn’t know this man’s name. He was just a man who occasionally brought her meals while she was confined.

 

Dana had been pleading with him through tears all this time. Please get me out of this place. Please help me escape from Lyos.

 

Finally, he had been swayed by her, and Dana was on the verge of escape.

 

But in the end, they were discovered.

 

Dana clung to the man’s corpse, tears streaming down her face.

 

 

 

“How could you do such a thing!”

 

 

 

Dana had been confined.

 

On a day before her wedding with Lumiere.

 

Lyos had kidnapped her.

 

And locked her away in a Deep Forest Villa somewhere unknown. From then on, it was all a time of coercion.

 

Before him, she had wailed for a long time.

 

 

 

“You madman! You’re truly insane!”

 

“I’m not crazy.”

 

 

 

Lyos, with a cigar in his mouth, lit it and answered indifferently.

 

 

 

“I’m in love.”

 

 

 

Then he exhaled smoke with a whoosh…

 

She got goosebumps from his breath that showed not even a trace of guilt. No, she felt nauseous.

 

 

 

“Come to your senses! I’m your sister! We’re siblings!”

 

 

 

Dana screamed as if in agony.

 

She had once loved him, but that was when she knew nothing.

 

But Former Emperor Wilhelm had told her.

 

That they were half-siblings with different fathers.

 

The moment she learned the truth, Dana’s love ended. She could no longer love Lyos romantically.

 

But Lyos wouldn’t accept that.

 

 

 

“You’re the one who needs to come to your senses, Dana.”

 

 

 

Lyos calmly tilted his head. He was unbelievably calm despite causing this chaos.

 

 

 

“You love me.”

 

“Lyos!”

 

“You’re just deceiving yourself because you’re worried about people’s opinions. You still love me.”

 

“No! I don’t!”

 

“It’s just the two of us here, Dana. So be honest with your heart.”

 

“You’re insane.”

 

 

 

Dana glared at him with murderous intent, babbling in a trembling voice.

 

 

 

“You’re insane. Lyos. You’re completely insane.”

 

 

 

Having said that, Dana picked up the pistol from the dead man’s waist. She aimed it at Lyos. The gun barrel trembled.

 

 

 

“Going to shoot?”

 

 

 

Lyos, who had been staring quietly, tapped his own head.

 

 

 

“Shoot here. Dana.”

 

 

 

Then he smiled gently.

 

 

 

“Hurry up. What are you waiting for if you’re not going to shoot?”

 

 

 

Crazy bastard.

 

Dana gritted her teeth.

 

She wanted to punish Lyos. But right now, Lyos seemed all too willing to accept death. It seemed like he actually wanted to die by her hand.

 

Then, what about this?

 

Dana aimed the gun barrel at her own chin.

 

 

 

“What are you doing.”

 

 

 

The voice that instantly dropped low was threatening. Lyos dropped his cigar to the floor.

 

 

 

“Dana. Stop.”

 

 

 

Ah, now you’re finally scared.

 

Dana was finally satisfied. Lyos’s face finally crumbled.

 

 

 

“Dana. Put that gun down now. Now!”

 

 

 

This was the first time she’d seen Lyos so terrified.

 

 

 

“I don’t want to.”

 

 

 

Saying that, Dana pulled the gun closer.

 

Then she could see Lyos’s face turn deathly pale. His facial muscles convulsed as if in shock.

 

Seeing that, a violent impulse surged through her.

 

Should she really just die?

 

Should she show him that and punish him? Make him pay for confining her here and forcing her against her will?

 

 

 

“Look.”

 

 

 

As if he couldn’t bear even that brief conflict, Lyos drew his pistol. He hurriedly aimed it at his own head.

 

 

 

“Dana. Look. Look at me, hurry!”

 

 

 

With the gun aimed at his own head, he spoke in an anxiously trembling voice.

 

 

 

“See? I’ll die. So put that gun down. Hurry. Please!”

 

“Then die…”

 

 

 

Dana whispered without removing the gun barrel.

 

 

 

“Then hurry up and die.”

 

 

 

Whether that was sincere or not was unclear.

 

She was just angry enough to want to kill.

 

 

 

“Dana.”

 

 

 

Click. Pressing the gun against his temple, Lyos moved his lips.

 

 

 

“I said I was your nightmare.”

 

 

 

Dana’s heart beat rapidly. She was both afraid and anticipating what would happen next.

 

Really? No. Surely not.

 

No, still.

 

Really?

 

 

 

“That’s not bad. A nightmare is part of you after all.”

 

 

 

Lyos smiled strangely.

 

 

 

“With this, you’ll remember me forever.”

 

 

 

Bang—!

 

The gunshot tears through the ears.

 

Lyos’s head explodes. Blood scatters like a fountain. Swaying, he collapses to the floor. Instantly becoming a corpse…

 

At that moment, Dana’s eyes snapped open.

 

And she immediately doubled over. The cold air of Dawn Forest rushed in.

 

“Urgh!”

 

Nausea surged up. Her stomach churned.

 

“Urgh, ugh!”

 

Dana gasped for breath and thought.

 

What was that memory just now? What was it?

 

No, she knew what it was.

 

Perhaps because of the Sacred Relic’s power. She had seen it too clearly, understood it too clearly.

 

The scene she had just seen with Divine Sight.

 

Being confined by Lyos before her marriage to Lumiere. And urging Lyos to commit suicide.

 

That wasn’t something that would happen in the future.

 

It was something that had already happened in the past.

 

But it wasn’t something she had experienced.

 

No. It was something she had experienced. So—

 

‘It’s not something I experienced now.’

 

Dana squeezed her eyes shut. In her dizzy mind, a realization clearer than ever flashed.

 

Before.

 

It was something she had experienced before, not now. But that incident had disappeared.

 

As if time had been rewound by turning a clockwork mechanism in reverse.

 

In the lightning-like shock, Dana trembled.

 

How could such a thing be possible?

 

Dana tried her best to remain calm. Soon, the answer came.

 

It wasn’t impossible.

 

This was a world where sacred relics existed. A world where gods existed and miracles existed. So perhaps rewinding time like clockwork was possible.

 

At that moment, Dana finally realized.

 

Divine Sight was not an ability that showed the future.

 

She had never once seen the future.

 

The scenes she had seen with Divine Sight.

 

They were all the past.

 

The current time she was living in, or the time that had been rewound like clockwork and disappeared. She had seen fragments from that time.

 

And in that time, Lyos had committed suicide…

 

“Did you see it?”

 

Startled, Dana looked up in surprise.

 

And she almost screamed.

 

How, no when, no why?

 

It was Lyos.

 

Lyos was sitting on a cut tree stump opposite her. Hunched over as if he had been watching her for a very long time.

 

“Why are you here?”

 

“Ah. It seemed someone sent a letter that shouldn’t have been sent.”

 

Lyos nodded. He looked at the blood letter that had fallen in front of her and smiled.

 

“I barely managed to chase after you to prevent you from seeing it…”

 

It was a hollow laugh. The emptiness of one who had failed.

 

“Did you see it?”

 

He asked once more.

 

Eyes like an abyss.

 

So black, like a pit of hell…

 

“See what?”

 

She managed to ask calmly. Then he twisted up the corner of his mouth.

 

“Not just that pathetic scrap of a blood letter.”

 

“…”

 

“You know.”

 

It felt as if she was freezing cold from the tips of her heart. All sense of reality completely disappeared.

 

“You were just muttering something.”

 

“…”

 

“Something about us being siblings.”

 

He interlaced his fingers and clasped his hands together.

 

“Something about me being your younger brother so stop it.”

 

As if enduring something with all his might, thick veins bulged on the back of his hands.

 

“Did you remember?”

 

Dana’s lips trembled.

 

She shuddered in shock. Her spine tingled.

 

Lyos knew too.

 

He remembered.

 

The memory of committing suicide in that now-vanished time, he remembered it all.

 

Since when had he known?

 

“Disgusting.”

 

She didn’t know. But it didn’t matter. No, it was actually better this way.

 

She didn’t have to bear the shock and revulsion of this moment alone.

 

Dana spat out fiercely.

 

“Lyos Grants. You’re truly a disgusting human being.”

 

Then Lyos tilted his head slightly.

 

“I’m disgusting?”

 

He asked in a voice that seemed ready to be extinguished like a candle flame. He whispered.

 

“I found you more disgusting for changing your heart for such a reason.”

 

“…”

 

“Your tongue that swore love to me with such trivial, shallow emotions is disgusting, Dana.”

 

It was terrible.

 

Dana’s teeth chattered. A chill washed over her.

 

How did I once love such a frightening thing? Something so black, so snake-like, so demonic?

 

“Now you should call me sister…”

 

Dana spat out in a trembling voice.

 

“Don’t act pathetic. What you’ve done is no different from throwing a tantrum like a child.”

 

How was such a thing possible?

 

She didn’t know. Why time had been rewound, how Lyos remembered everything.

 

She couldn’t understand.

 

But what was certain was.

 

“Lyos Grants. I truly find you horrible.”

 

Lyos was insane.

 

And Dana now hated him.

 

Then Lyos laughed. It had been a venomous remark thrown to hurt him, but surprisingly he looked quite relieved. An eerie sensation ran down her neck.

 

“Good.”

 

“…”

 

“Not bad. Being at rock bottom with nowhere left to fall.”

 

Now it seemed more like a monologue than conversation.

 

“I’m your nightmare anyway. Aren’t I?”

 

Having said that, Lyos raised his hand. With his long fingers, he combed through his hair, brushing away the bangs that had been carefully swept back strand by strand.

 

Then the neatly swept-up hair flowed downward.

 

Finally, black hair naturally spilled over his forehead. Lyos’s eyes, revealed through the scattered bangs, curved gently.

 

“Do you remember?”

 

Remember what?

 

“You said I looked cute with my bangs down. You used to tease me saying I looked young…”

 

When did I?

 

Was he talking about the vanished time? She had no such memory. But Lyos seemed to remember everything.

 

“I really hated that.”

 

He really did look young. Just by letting his bangs down, he looked much more youthful than moments before.

 

Then Dana realized.

 

All of Lyos’s speech patterns, expressions, gestures, appearance until now had been a disguise to look older.

 

“But now it doesn’t matter anymore.”

 

Lyos stood up from his seat. With a clear, bright smile that looked far too cheerful.

 

“You wanted me to call you sister? Fine. I will. Sister Dana, Dana sister, Sister Dana.”

 

He approached.

 

“Choose. Which do you like?”

 

Dana knew what would happen next.

 

Lyos would confine her. He would force her.

 

Dana knew how far Lyos’s rock bottom went. Having fallen to the very end, he was not human but a beast…

 

‘No, it can’t be like that.’

 

Dana slowly raised her gaze.

 

Above Lyos’s head, the dark purple sky settled heavily.

 

The sky had grown slightly brighter than just moments before.

 

Dawn was slowly breaking.
