Chapter 182
Lyos was excessively persistent, making Dana’s life incredibly difficult. Each day felt like her blood was drying up. However.
“Cheer up, Dana.”
“Brother Lumiere.”
“His Highness will regain his sanity soon. Don’t worry too much.”
Lumiere encouraged her from beside her.
He stayed by Dana’s side as she suffered because of Lyos. He comforted her. Dana spent more time with Lumiere than anyone else, frequently and for long periods.
Then at some point, she began to notice.
Lumiere’s deep eyes secretly stealing glances at her. Lumiere’s ears turning red whenever he called her name.
His body strangely stiffening whenever they got close…
“Sorry. I’m a bit drunk. The celibate life on the ship was quite long too.”
One late night, when Lumiere’s feelings for her were discovered, it was she who stopped him as he tried to brush it off as a joke, pretending it was nothing.
“Don’t go, Brother.”
“What?”
“I want to stay together tonight.”
“…What do you mean?”
“Exactly what I said.”
Lumiere looked at Dana’s hand gripping the hem of his shirt for a while, then smiled faintly.
“Are you trying to use me?”
“…”
“No, don’t answer. I don’t care.”
Using him.
Was that it? Did I really use him?
Did I use him as an escape from Lyos, as a shield?
Or was I genuinely attracted to Lumiere?
What was certain was that night, Dana developed a deep relationship with Lumiere.
And that afterward, she came to truly love Lumiere.
“You became lovers with Lumiere?”
However, when Lyos learned of their relationship, he wasn’t shocked. He just smiled tiredly like a prophet facing a predetermined misfortune.
“I see. I knew that bastard would eventually steal you away from me.”
“Stop it. I was the one who approached Brother Lumiere first.”
Thoroughly ignoring Lyos, Dana promised to marry Lumiere.
But they couldn’t get married.
Because.
‘Lyos kidnapped me.’
Throb, throb. Her head began to ache.
The day before her wedding with Lumiere.
Lyos ruined everything.
“I’m not crazy. I’m in love.”
I feel like throwing up.
Dana held her head, suppressing the nausea.
The confined life was driving her insane, Lyos was so disgusting, that Dana impulsively tried to kill herself.
Click, the moment she brought the gun barrel to her head.
“I’ll die instead. So put that gun down, quickly. Please!”
That’s when Lyos pointed the gun at his own head to stop her.
And Dana.
“Then die…”
Urged him on in her fever.
“Then hurry up and die.”
Bang!
For a moment, it felt dizzying as if that gunshot was ringing out again.
That’s right. Lyos really shot himself in the head and killed himself…
‘Crazy bastard.’
Dana squeezed her eyes shut.
The image of his shattered head came to mind, making nausea surge up. Disgusting and horrific.
And what was even more horrific was.
‘That life wasn’t everything…’
That life wasn’t everything. Other lives also existed.
However, only the fact that previous lives existed floated up like an afterimage.
She couldn’t remember what those lives were like. Everything was hazy beyond a cloudy fog.
‘But I’ll remember soon.’
Even now, memories were surfacing one by one. With time, the day would come when everything became clear.
‘And Lyos also had these memories.’
Probably only Lyos and her. Only the two of them remembered the repeated time…
Suddenly, laughter spilled out.
So, including this current life, how many lives have been repeated in total? Three times? Four times?
It was truly absurd.
How could this happen!
‘Damn it. Even this phrase is tiresome.’
Being surprised and asking ‘How is this possible?’ was also sickening.
‘Now I’m completely sick of unknown things.’
I’ll find out everything. Everything that happened in all the past timelines.
‘Quickly, Divine Sight needs to properly awaken.’
In her experience, Divine Sight became more powerful the more it was used. So she had to open it as often as possible.
It would become her powerful weapon that no one else knew about.
That’s when it happened.
“…!”
Dana’s eyes snapped wide open. Her body was suddenly lifted up and held in Lumiere’s embrace.
“Lumiere?”
“Yeah.”
He let her rest her head against his chest.
“Your head looked like it hurt.”
“….”
“You kept bumping into it.”
Ah.
Only then did she realize that she had been swaying and banging her head against the carriage wall with loud thuds. The pain hit her belatedly.
“Dana, you seem to be in a state of exhaustion right now. So lean on me and rest.”
“But….”
Isn’t this a bit too close?
Sitting on his thigh with her face resting against his chest. She wasn’t a little child.
When she felt awkward, Lumiere chuckled softly.
“It’s okay.”
Then he brushed away her sweat-dampened hair and spoke calmly.
“Dana. I’m your brother.”
“….”
“You can comfortably lean on me and rest.”
“…Yes.”
Dana gazed up at Lumiere quietly.
Suddenly, she remembered the moment from her past life when she had loved him. His eyes full of affection too.
But the current him was truly, truly.
‘He really sees me as his younger sister.’
He had the face of such a kind brother.
He even has a wife now.
He married a different woman, not me….
‘Right. Lumiere doesn’t remember that time, let alone all the memories with me from this life.’
Dana smiled bitterly. Perhaps it was for the best. It would be better not to know the bad memories.
However, contrary to her heart, Dana closed her eyes as if fleeing.
Lumiere’s kind face, but his gaze that looked at her thoroughly like family was so awkward that she couldn’t bear to face it….
“Dana.”
“Yes.”
“Don’t be surprised when you hear this.”
“Yes.”
Clatter, clatter, the carriage shook but it was comfortable. Lumiere’s embrace was always cozy.
“When we return to the Grand Cathedral.”
“Yes.”
“Your fiancé will be waiting for you.”
What?
Dana’s eyes snapped open. Lumiere was smiling as if troubled.
“I heard from Father that you have no memory of your time at the Grand Cathedral. So I’m telling you in advance so you won’t be too surprised when we arrive.”
“Who is my fiancé?”
“Someone from the Windsor Family.”
Someone from the Windsor Family? What on earth….
‘Ah.’
“I’m going to marry the Roland Family daughter.”
Come to think of it, Viego had said something like that before.
Don’t tell me….
