Episode 19

“Poor Danae.”

Juan flowed over smoothly and plopped down beside her.

“Don’t do that. Choose me instead. I will make you happy.”

“Please leave.”

“Huh?”

“How rude. How can you enter a lady’s bedroom without permission?”

“What’s the big deal? You’ll be sleeping in the same bed once you’re married anyway.”

Juan looked her up and down and grinned widely.

“If you want, we can share a bed from now on.”

I suddenly got goosebumps all over.

‘Crazy bastard.’

What the hell are you babbling about? And that disgusting look in your eyes…

“How about we try sharing a bed as a test? I guarantee you’ll like me a little more.”

“Get lost.”

“…Huh?”

“Get lost. You reek of disgusting fat.”

Dana smiled crookedly as she looked at Juan, who had become dazed.

And finally, he drove in one last remark to provoke Juan.

“When you don’t even have the skills that Alice has.”

Deep enough to shatter his pathetic pride.

* * *

“Damn it!”

Inside a tavern in a back alley.

Juan Roland slammed down the bottle.

“Damn it, damn it, damn it!”

His mood had been terrible lately. And why wouldn’t it be?

‘These bitches are both acting crazy!’

Danae Windsor. That fucking bitch.

I thought she was gentle and kind, but she’s actually incredibly vicious.

What? Get lost? I smell like disgusting fat?

‘To the man who’s going to be your husband!’

Just wait until we’re married. I’ll beat you senseless and fix your bad habits!

She wasn’t the only woman who made him angry.

‘Alice, where does that little brat think she’s going, acting up like that!’

His life had been at its worst lately.

Alice’s achievements have made him feel utterly pathetic!

“I guess you’re not as perceptive as I thought, Uncle?”

In fact, just recently Alice had even said this to him. With her nose so high in the air, acting all superior!

“My bulb sales idea would have been in big trouble if it had fallen through due to my uncle’s opposition. Right?”

Then she giggled and stuck her tongue out playfully with a smile.

She pretended to be lovely, but Juan noticed.

It was mockery.

Alice, his niece whom he had thought was nothing but kind, had mocked him!

“Where does a young girl get off being so bold? Go play piano in your room. How dare you interfere in men’s affairs…”

I felt like I was going crazy with my inferiority complex.

Juan was a poor student even within the Roland family.

His marksmanship was terrible, his swordsmanship was terrible, his combat skills were terrible, and even his scholarly knowledge was terrible. As a man from a naval family, he was a complete failure.

His father, a naval commander, always looked at him as if he were a terrible failure.

“Try to be more like your niece Lumière. You pathetic fool.”

My sister’s son, who rose through the ranks of the navy at a young age to become captain of the Empire’s finest warship.

Rumi had made him feel pathetic too—but he could endure that much.

Because Rumi is a man.

After all, he’s a man who inherited the blood of the great naval family Roland and was educated by the army family Windsor.

But Alice is a girl!

To be pushed around by a mere girl!

‘Working under someone else really doesn’t suit my temperament.’

Just you wait. I’ll make Danae my wife no matter what it takes.

I’m going to use that fortune to start my own business. When that time comes, I’ll finally be able to show what I’m truly capable of!

So I came to this tavern.

“My lord. The items you ordered have arrived.”

To make this dirty deal.

The dealer sitting across from him quietly slid a black envelope forward.

“It’s a love potion made by barbarian shamans.”

“The effect will be certain, right?”

“Of course. If you put a strand of hair into this potion, it will dissolve naturally. Mix it into their food and have them consume it. They will fall for the owner of the hair.”

To think I can have Danae with just a single hair – could there be a better cost-performance ratio than this?

“However, there are some side effects.”

“Hm? What’s that?”

“The effects are so strong that you could become an idiot.”

“What? An idiot?”

“Yes. I could become a fool who can’t think of anything but love.”

“Hmm, I see. The more medicine we give, the greater the chance of side effects.”

“That’s right. So you must only add a very small amount.”

I’ll have to put everything in.

Juan inwardly cheered with delight.

‘Good. That bitch was getting too cocky anyway.’

Arrogant bitch who looks down on men just because she has money.

So the crown prince had a change of heart.

‘Become an idiot? That’s even better.’

The more stupid a woman is, the better, and the fewer words she speaks, the better.

‘That’s the only way peace will come to the family.’

To think that Danae would become an idiot.

Just thinking about it was thrilling. A twenty-three-year-old beauty who was young, naive, and rich. She was the perfect embodiment of his ideal type!

‘We’re going to be a happy couple, Danae. You just need to provide the money and pop out lots of babies.’

“Wahahahaha!”

Juan burst into loud laughter.

* * *

A bouquet of Moonlight Flowers arrived.

Alice had sent it.

[To my beloved sister Dana.

Though you wounded me deeply with harsh words that can never be washed away, I have decided to forgive you.

So if there was any fault on my part as well, I hope you will forgive me with a generous heart.

Let’s not fight with each other anymore.

Let’s live by forgiving and loving one another.

This world is too beautiful to waste time on hatred.

Since you too have decided to live in this world, I hope you will live with love.

—From Alice, who loves her sister.]

Dana threw Alice’s letter straight into the fireplace. The letter burned brightly.

It’s fine. No need to get angry.

‘The time has come anyway.’

The time had come.

Finally, the time to bring down the Moonlight Flower business had arrived.

“Lete. How much Moonlight Flower have we bought up?”

“Here, please check this.”

Dana smiled coldly after checking the documents.

No one in the Empire would have as many Moonlight Flowers as this.

‘I should start tomorrow right away.’

The time had come to keep her promise with the Emperor.

And it would threaten Karl Windsor—her uncle’s position, and bring her one step closer to obtaining the Sacred Relic.

“Miss, and here. Lord Juan has also sent a letter.”

“….”

It was filled with the most disgusting content of any love letter she had ever received.

“What should we do? Should I burn this one too?”

“No.”

“Pardon?”

“Leave that one alone. I have a use for it.”

“What could you possibly use that disgusting thing for.”

Dana put Juan’s letter in the drawer as always and smiled coldly.

“I’ll use it as bait to catch a big fish later.”

* * *

After sending away her secretary, Dana finished preparing for bed but still couldn’t put down the documents in her hands.

She walked out onto the terrace and sat on a bench in her private garden. Then she called a maid and gave an order.

“Emily, bring me a cup of chamomile tea.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Just then, the wind blew and the documents fell. Dana absentmindedly picked up the papers that had fallen onto the grass.

A moment later.

“Miss, I’ve brought the chamomile tea.”

“Thank you.”

“The night air is cool. Shall I bring you a shawl?”

“Thank you, but I’m fine. You may go.”

“Yes, Miss.”

After the maid left, Dana lifted her teacup. The calm and peaceful chamomile scent was pleasant.

At that moment.

“Dana really loves chamomile tea, doesn’t she? You always drink only that.”

An old memory surfaced.

“Yes, Uncle. I like the fragrance.”

“Hahaha. Is that why? When I smell chamomile, I think of Dana.”

A common conversation she had shared with her uncle, Karl Windsor.

And.

“I should cut her life short.”

That disgusting voice that had whispered about killing me.

‘Evil bastard.’

She barely managed to straighten her twisted lips and sipped her tea.

‘Just wait and see, Karl Windsor.’

You’ll pay the price for using me.

Soon I’ll steal your ring and return to my world….

‘…But what is this feeling?’

Suddenly, heat spread from her chest like water seeping through.

Thump thump, thump thump.

Her heart beat rapidly.
