Chapter 173

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-Epilogue

 

 

 

 

 

After the Dimensional Gate disappeared.

 

“Dana.”

 

Lyos called her name with a faint hope.

 

But Dana did not answer.

 

“Dana.”

 

No response.

 

Of course there wouldn’t be.

 

Dana wasn’t here.

 

What remained was only the empty body of Danae Windsor.

 

That was all.

 

The moment Dana entered the blazing Dimensional Gate, this body lost its soul and collapsed.

 

Dana’s soul had departed. It was no longer in this world.

 

Lyos stared blankly at that body.

 

Perhaps she had shown kindness before leaving. The earth that Lyos had corrupted was now cleanly purified.

 

Dana had purified it before leaving.

 

Lyos carefully lifted Dana with his remaining arm. Then slowly departed.

 

“….”

 

After they had left.

 

Karl Windsor appeared at that place.

 

He walked to where the Dimensional Gate had been burning.

 

There lay the Deputy Head’s Ring.

 

The ring that Dana had been clutching tightly until the very last moment.

 

Karl slowly bent down and picked up the ring. The amber gemstone was about half the size it had been when it was on his finger.

 

He brought the ring close to his nose.

 

Dana’s scent wafted from the ring.

 

 

 

* * *

 

 

 

The night he arrived at Windsor Estate.

 

That night Karl fell into a deep sleep.

 

As always, he dreamed of that child.

 

It had been quite a while since he only dreamed of Dana when he slept. When she was by his side. And now that she was gone.

 

Today too, Karl dreamed of Dana.

 

It was a nightmare. No, it was something that had already happened in reality.

 

He clutched the blanket and groaned in pain. Tears streamed down his cheeks. Cold sweat soaked his entire body.

 

While he was tormented by the nightmare.

 

“Uncle.”

 

Karl’s eyes snapped open.

 

That voice just now….

 

“Uncle.”

 

No, he hadn’t misheard.

 

Karl bolted upright.

 

Dana. It was definitely Dana’s voice. Dana. Dana. Dana, Dana, Dana, Dana, Dana, Dana….

 

But it couldn’t be Dana.

 

She had left.

 

Karl stared at the door.

 

Was it a hallucination?

 

“Uncle?”

 

No, it wasn’t a hallucination!

 

Karl practically tumbled out of bed and rushed to the door.

 

“Dana!”

 

From the bed to the door, that short distance felt like a thousand years. The moment he flung open the door.

 

“Uncle!”

 

Sweet warmth rushed in. She threw herself into his arms.

 

Karl reflexively embraced that body tightly. For some reason, in that moment he felt like he could breathe again. With inexplicable relief, he almost collapsed right there.

 

“I missed you, Uncle.”

 

Her voice whispered in his ear.

 

Dana.

 

It really was Dana.

 

Karl examined Dana’s face. The cheeks he had always wanted to bite, her nose bridge, and….

 

“I missed you so, so much.”

 

Dana rose up on her tiptoes. Then she wrapped her arms around the back of his head and pulled him toward her.

 

And closed her eyes.

 

As if asking him to kiss her.

 

Karl gazed deeply at her long eyelashes, nose tip, and white cheeks.

 

But her lips, only her lips he absolutely refused to look at.

 

“Uncle?”

 

Dana lifted her eyelids. Eyes burning with heat, yearning, and desire looked at him.

 

“What’s wrong?”

 

Dana’s voice asking this was hot. Her gaze wavered.

 

“Hurry… please?”

 

As if she could no longer endure it, Dana whispered while caressing his broad chest and thick muscular arms with her hands.

 

“It’s okay, Uncle.”

 

“….”

 

“I know everything.”

 

“….”

 

“I love you.”

 

Then she carefully tugged at the ties of his nightgown robe. The robe fell open, revealing his naked body underneath.

 

“Ah….”

 

Dana looked at his body with ecstatic eyes. Admiration and passion mixed in Dana’s eyes, blazing like flames.

 

Karl let out a sigh.

 

And caught Dana’s hand as it reached down toward his lower body.

 

“Don’t do this.”

 

“What?”

 

Karl stepped back. He pulled his completely open robe closed and tied the sash while muttering.

 

“Dana doesn’t act like this.”

 

“Wh-what?”

 

“Dana hates me.”

 

After spitting out those words, Karl’s eyes reddened from the pain of his own words.

 

“Dana hates me very much.”

 

Saying this, he grabbed Dana’s neck. He squeezed tightly.

 

Dana’s face turned bright red, and her eyes bulged as if they would pop out. White foam formed at her mouth.

 

However, Karl remained expressionless.

 

He truly felt no pity at all.

 

After all, this wasn’t Dana.

 

Karl felt pity for no one except Dana. No one else stirred his sympathy. No one else touched his heart.

 

In this world, only one person—only Dana—was pitiful to him.

 

Not these shell-like bodies that were scattered throughout the Sanctuary, identical to Dana in appearance.

 

Only Yeon Dana.

 

“Gasp!”

 

Only at the brink of death did Karl loosen his grip.

 

Then the woman wearing Dana’s face collapsed as if crumbling. She gasped for a long while. And slowly, her appearance began to change.

 

She was a woman Karl knew.

 

“Gasp, gasp.”

 

It was Miona.

 

Miona grabbed his ankle while sobbing.

 

“P-please spare me. Lord Karl. I was wrong.”

 

“…”

 

Miona.

 

Karl looked down at Alice’s friend.

 

Miona had appeared wearing Dana’s face.

 

Karl knew this shamanism.

 

This was an extremely difficult shamanism. Only a few of the highest-ranking demon worshippers among the Barbarian Tribe could use such shamanism.

 

In other words, a high-ranking demon worshipper was backing Miona.

 

And their target would be Karl Windsor himself. Karl knew what they wanted.

 

Miona had been dominated by the demon worshippers in the process.

 

‘How pitiful.’

 

Karl felt sorry for that child.

 

‘Poor Dana.’

 

Dana. That child is being used even in death.

 

The demon worshippers are also using that child. That kind child, that pitiful child.

 

Karl buried his face in both hands and slumped onto the bed.

 

Poor Dana.

 

‘How difficult it must have been to cut off my finger?’

 

How much she must have suffered planning to betray me.

 

Thinking of the hardships that child must have endured made his heart ache terribly.

 

After a long while, Karl looked at Miona with reddened eyes.

 

Miona was completely out of her mind.

 

“Miss Miona.”

 

It seemed she had been subjected to mind control.

 

The demon worshippers seemed to have dominated her by maximizing some desire deep within Miona’s abyss, within her heart.

 

It would be her feelings toward Karl Windsor himself.

 

“Miss Miona is Alice’s friend, right?”

 

“That’s right.”

 

“As Miss Miona knows, I am Alice’s father. So this kind of thing isn’t proper.”

 

When he gently admonished her, Miona pursed her lips. Her face looked as if she had been insulted.

 

“I know what I did wasn’t proper. But please don’t condemn my love.”

 

“I just want to say that I’m not a suitable match for Miss Miona.”

 

“A suitable match? Who decides that? And what about you, Lord Karl? Do you want a suitable match?”

 

Then Karl smiled as if troubled.

 

“Miss Miona. I haven’t been divorced from my wife for very long. I don’t have the luxury to think about such things.”

 

Then Miona sharply retorted.

 

“Lord Karl. Do you know how I transformed into Sister Dana?”

 

“Well, you must have obtained forbidden magic potions from demon worshippers or received help from shamanism. So it was Miss Miona who had been stealing my belongings and hair all this time.”

 

“That’s right. But do you know what kind of shamanism it was?”

 

Karl silently looked at Miona.

 

Miona said defiantly.

 

“I didn’t know I would transform into Sister Dana either. Who I would transform into depended on Lord Karl.”

 

“…”

 

“I transformed into Sister Dana because of Lord Karl.”

 

Following that, Miona said something.

 

She continued talking.

 

However, Karl did not respond. He did not speak.

 

He simply remained silent for a long time.

 

Because it was a story he could never accept or acknowledge.

 

 

 

* * *

 

 

 

Miona’s custody was handed over to Viego Windsor.

 

Viego would handle the rest. That child was the Family Head of Windsor, and Miona was an intruder to Windsor.

 

And several days later, Danae Windsor was officially declared dead.

 

After the funeral ended, the inheritance procedures finally proceeded.

 

Karl Windsor inherited all of Danae Windsor’s assets.

 

From that massive mountain of gold and silver treasures that everyone coveted, Karl found only one thing.

 

A navigation chart leading to the Sanctuary.

 

Before leaving, Karl put on his finger the ring that child had held until the very end. Then he packed his belongings and left the room.

 

Finally, he headed to the Sanctuary.

 

It was a journey he had waited for, for a very, very long time.

 

 

 

* * *

 

 

 

Upon arriving at the Sanctuary, Viego immediately headed somewhere. The most secret place in the Sanctuary.

 

It was a lake whose surface was frozen cold.

 

Viego stood at the lakeside and looked down beneath the frozen lake.

 

Below the frozen surface, a woman was sleeping.

 

Hair that was once jet black but had now turned snow white. A woman with a gentle face resembling a sheep.

 

“Dana.”

 

He murmured the woman’s name.

 

Dana had left.

 

By now she would have arrived in her world.

 

She would be breathing deeply the air of the world she had arrived in after so long. Perhaps she might even be rejoicing.

 

However, she would surely return before long.

 

Because the real one was here, in the Sanctuary.

 

“Sect Leader.”

 

Viego turned around. A priest of the Diana religion bowed his head.

 

“Sect Leader, we have assembled the High Priests.”

 

Viego slowly followed the priest as he walked. Thud, thud. Along with the regular sound of footsteps came the sound of a cane tapping.

 

“Ah, Sect Leader, we have found believers conducting orgy rituals.”

 

“Banish them.”

 

“The thing is, there are several High Priests and an Archpriest mixed among them…”

 

“Banish them.”

 

Viego continued walking while speaking firmly.

 

“Regardless of rank or status. Those who perform the rituals I have forbidden shall be expelled according to the Religious Order’s discipline.”

 

“Yes.”

 

With those words, Viego stopped in front of the massive temple doors. Creak, the doors opened.

 

Then an extremely long corridor was revealed.

 

Hundreds of cylindrical water tanks lined both sides of the corridor.

 

Inside them, hundreds of Danas were submerged in water like sleeping mermaids. Just empty shell dolls, without any soul.

 

Passing through that eerie and endless corridor, Viego finally arrived at the chapel.

 

“Cult Leader.”

 

Upon his arrival, the High Priests rose to greet him. Viego casually nodded in acknowledgment and sat in the seat of honor.

 

As soon as he took his place, the priests urgently questioned him.

 

“Cult Leader, are the rumors true?”

 

“We’ve received intelligence that he is currently heading here.”

 

“Please tell us it’s false information!”

 

Viego slowly scanned their faces.

 

There were tense faces, faces denying reality, and faces filled with resentment.

 

And all of them were paralyzed with fear.

 

“It’s true. So everyone prepare yourselves.”

 

Viego Windsor, the cult leader of the Diana Church, commanded.

 

“Karl Windsor is coming.”

 

 

 

* * *

 

 

 

Yeon Dana opened her eyes.
