Chapter 185
* * *
“Sister Dana, you’re so pretty.”
Noah, who was just a boy then, had once woven a flower crown and placed it on her head.
“You look like an angel.”
“In my eyes, Noah is the one who looks like an angel?”
“No. You’re the angel, Sister. Especially your hair really looks like angel wings…”
Those were happy times.
But that happiness was very brief.
After confessing the truth about possession, that child transformed like a demon.
“I really hate someone like you. Just die!”
Later, when that child went to prison, Dana felt relieved in one way.
‘This is how it ends with Noah.’
By the time that child serves his sentence and gets out, I’ll have left this world.
So this is goodbye.
Rather than letting the relationship deteriorate further, it ends here. Thinking that way actually put her mind at ease. But.
“…”
Who would have thought she’d see him again like this.
After staring at her fiercely for a while, Noah abruptly stood up from his seat. The moment he strode over and stood in front of her, Dana truly felt the passage of time.
‘Noah really has become an adult.’
Then Noah asked aggressively.
“You’re my fiancée?”
At that, Nettie tried to intervene from the side.
“Lord Noah, that’s rude. To speak to your fiancée like that…”
“You shut up.”
Oh. My goodness. Dana was startled.
‘Why is he like this…’
He’s become even scarier?
Noah’s green eyes were menacing. Before, he was just like an ill-tempered cat, but now he was truly like a wild beast.
“You…”
Noah examined Dana’s face as if tearing it apart piece by piece, asking in a grinding voice.
“What’s your name?”
“It’s Danaina Rolland.”
However, Dana smiled gently.
“Please treat me well, Lord Noah Windsor.”
“…”
Instead of answering, Noah stormed out of the room. Bang! The door closed as if it might break.
“I’ll apologize on his behalf.”
Nettie sighed.
“Lord Noah has a rather… rough personality. He’s sharp.”
After arriving at the Grand Cathedral, on the way here.
Dana had many conversations with Nettie, this priest.
‘He said Noah is the key keeper of the Holy Mother Chapel.’
He said experiments related to ‘Yeon Dana’ were being conducted at the Holy Mother Chapel.
That meant he was someone she needed to get close to somehow and steal the key from.
The position of fiancée was very advantageous for getting close. So instead of gossiping about Noah, Dana naturally changed the subject.
“But where is Lord Karl?”
“He’s currently confined in the underground prison.”
Prison…
As expected, he’s been imprisoned.
“The Cult Leader will decide his fate soon. If you wish, you can visit him anytime.”
At Nettie’s words, Dana pretended to hesitate before shaking her head.
‘I don’t want to see his face…’
It’s actually better that he’s confined.
How wonderful would it be if he stayed locked up there until she could reclaim Yeon Dana’s body?
But that couldn’t be.
‘Danaina Rolland,’ who follows Karl Windsor like a duckling, wouldn’t leave him alone.
She planned to soon run to him with a face full of worry and burst into tears. Lord Karl, are you alright? What should I do? What can I do? While spouting such trivial lines.
However, she intended to keep her distance for just a little while.
Because Danaina Rolland had… loved Karl.
‘She was in love.’
Dana honestly acknowledged and accepted it. Because only then could she wash it away.
Dana intended to throw away those feelings of affection completely without a trace.
‘So, I can’t meet him right now.’
Fortunately, there was an excuse.
“I still can’t believe that Lord Karl is the kidnapper who abducted me from the cult.”
When she spoke tearfully, Nettie nodded understandingly.
“Of course you’d feel that way. I would too.”
“Yes, I need some time to sort out my feelings for now.”
Dana wiped away tears and asked.
“Could I possibly meet the Diana Cult Leader?”
Then Nettie spoke as if troubled.
“I’m sorry, but the Cult Leader hasn’t given permission.”
“…For a meeting with me?”
“Yes.”
Instantly, anger flared in her heart.
Viego Windsor.
He won’t meet me?
After making me like this, he won’t see me?
‘Bastard.’
Cowardly avoiding me so blatantly like this?
Viego Windsor, he truly was an unparalleled villain. Who would have known he was committing such evil acts with that dignified face?
‘Besides, he must have known from the beginning that I wasn’t his real sister.’
If I was holy water material, he should have treated me only as a test subject from the start.
Why didn’t he do that at first?
When she first came to the Windsor Family, Viego wasn’t cold.
Even when Noah put the flower crown on her.
Viego had definitely said this.
“Pretty.”
He shouldn’t have said such things!
That wasn’t all. The person who taught her shooting. Her teacher was none other than Viego.
“Keep your arm straighter.”
He stood behind her, holding her arm and directly correcting her posture.
They had spent many days like that, just the two of them.
“Don’t take your eyes off the target.”
In those moments, they were quite affectionate and close.
“Shoot, now.”
That quiet voice scattered near her ear was still so vivid.
“Well done.”
“Really? I suppose it’s because my teacher is excellent, brother.”
“That’s not wrong.”
If those times hadn’t existed, she wouldn’t hate him this much.
But for some reason, laughter came out.
She had so many people to hate, and that actually felt good.
Hatred was her weapon and her armor. She felt stronger than ever before.
“Priest Nettie.”
Dana wiped away her artificially squeezed tears and asked.
“Could I know when the next service is?”
“Ah, would you like to attend the service?”
“Yes. I want to find peace of mind.”
Then Nettie became very pleased.
She knew she would be happy.
Nettie was a heretic resident she had seen in Kaltusa Territory. Viego had processed her as ‘missing,’ but here she was acting as an archpriest in the Sanctuary.
‘Back then too, she was frantically trying to drag Karl and me into group sacred rituals.’
What would the service at the Grand Cathedral be like?
The worship rituals of Diana’s religion aroused lust. The current cult leader, Viego, had supposedly forbidden various things, but…
‘He can’t change the very roots of Diana’s religion.’
Diana was a deity who considered carnal desire a virtue. She encouraged lust, regarded conception as a sacred duty, and was a goddess who urged fertility.
In other words, the believers of Diana’s religion had a sense of mission about reproductive acts.
‘What a truly disgusting religion.’
However, she would make good bait.
Many priests would flock to her, and she could obtain that much more information.
‘To find Yeon Dana’s body, I need more information about the Sanctuary and Grand Cathedral. Information that only priests know, not outsiders.’
There’s a saying that to catch a tiger, you must enter the tiger’s den.
Therefore, Dana intended to become a faithful believer of Diana’s religion.
It wouldn’t be difficult.
After all, this body wasn’t her own body anyway.
* * *
Noah Windsor locked himself in his room and drank alcohol.
“That’s right. That woman is Danae Windsor, the one you know.”
When he immediately ran to his brother to protest, a bizarre answer came back.
“I told you. She’s a clone made by separating from the original body. Danae Windsor was never your sister, so there’s nothing to worry about.”
What bullshit are you talking about!
“We just put her in the Windsor Family as a formality to bring her to the continent.”
Don’t be ridiculous. I can’t get engaged to that woman!
Then his brother stared at him penetratingly and said.
“Unexpected. I thought you…”
That was the end of it.
He didn’t continue speaking, but Noah Windsor understood well enough.
‘Damn it, what do you take me for?’
I’m not that kind of lowlife. I just.
‘That woman was just like a mother and sister to me.’
That’s why I wanted to kill those who treated her carelessly.
So how could he like this kind of relationship?
“Noah Windsor. It’s Danaina Rolland.”
So when she came and knocked a few hours ago, Noah Windsor burst out shouting.
“Get lost!”
It was a harsh voice. It was also the voice that made female believers who visited his room run away crying.
“I’m going to break off this engagement, so never come looking for me again!”
Dana hesitated for a moment, then withdrew. Noah Windsor felt like he would suffocate at the sound of her retreating footsteps.
According to his brother, she wouldn’t remember anything.
Not the time when she was his sister.
Not the time when she kissed his cheek.
Not the time when she pulled his face to her soft, full chest and held him.
She would have forgotten all the times when she was hurt by receiving all kinds of criticism from him.
‘So, you want me to marry her pretending I don’t know anything?’
Noah Windsor was an adult and already knew everything he needed to know. Married couples wouldn’t just play house.
Noah Windsor squeezed his eyes shut and shook his head. Just imagining it felt sacrilegious and gave him a headache.
Then a clear bell sound rang from outside the window.
It was the sound indicating the evening service had ended. Noah Windsor looked out the window.
He could see believers pouring out of the chapel and dispersing.
‘That disgusting service…’
Noah Windsor was casually looking down at the priests when he flinched.
Dana was walking surrounded by numerous male priests.
Like a queen bee.
