Chapter 196
“….”
“Answer my question. That man just now, that wasn’t Ignis, was it?”
“You don’t need to know.”
Dana glared at Viego.
Viego Windsor, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time, was exactly the same.
Platinum hair neatly swept back and a face as if sculpted by an arrogant artist. Cheeks clean as spotless glass without even a speck of dust.
To ruin someone else’s life as he pleased and still remain perfectly intact all by himself….
Dana couldn’t hold back and slapped his cheek. Smack! One hit wasn’t enough to vent her anger, so she hit him once more.
“I think I have the right to vent this much.”
A scratch on his reddened cheek. Satisfied with that flaw, Dana smiled coldly.
“You agree, don’t you, Diana Cult Leader?”
Viego only looked down at her with a slanted gaze. Then he opened his lips and spoke.
“Give up.”
With a voice like winter night moonlight….
“You can’t accomplish anything.”
Such terrible words.
“So give up.”
“….”
Her head felt dizzy from the sudden words.
Can’t accomplish anything. Give up.
Out of nowhere, such unlucky words….
Soon bewilderment blazed into anger. Dana breathed out fiery breath.
“Why? Do you want to sell holy water that badly?”
“….”
“Do you want to throw my body in the lake and drink the water I’ve been steeped in that badly?”
“….”
“Like a pervert… Why don’t you just lick my body instead? Wouldn’t that be more effective? I could offer you my feet at least.”
Though she spoke with heavy sarcasm, Viego didn’t respond. He seemed to have no intention of continuing the conversation.
I knew he’d be like that.
That bastard would never properly deal with me. Dana took that thing out from her skirt pocket.
“Do you know what this is?”
A marble the size of a thumbnail.
It was a black core.
“If this explodes, all the land in this area will rot away. Not only my brother, but everyone in the Grand Cathedral will rot and die too.”
Did he recognize what it was? Viego’s eyebrows hardened.
“Don’t think I won’t do it. I’ve already committed that act once before.”
“….”
“You don’t want the sanctuary to be corrupted by corrupted land and become uninhabitable, do you?”
“….”
“Then look me straight in the eyes and tell me you’ll cooperate with me.”
How long did that silence flow?
Viego slowly nodded his head.
“Fine. I’ll cooperate.”
For a moment, it felt like a strange current was running up her spine.
Viego was being obedient.
For the first time. Really the first time.
Right, no matter how aloof you act, the phenomenon of land rotting must be frightening.
The feeling of roughly grabbing the neck of something very arrogant. Wrapped in satisfaction, Dana asked with a smiling face.
“What happened to Ignis?”
“He’s dead.”
“Then what was that man just now?”
“What you’re guessing is correct.”
“….”
As expected.
Dana took a deep breath in and let it out.
“Like me… was Ignis also cloned?”
“Yes. He was grandfather’s most cherished test subject.”
“….”
Grandfather, Rodrigo Windsor.
He had adopted Ignis as his son.
And even when Ignis filed a lawsuit to annul the adoption, he never let him go until the end.
That was exceptional affection in noble society. Even though he already had two excellent sons, he was obsessed to a strange degree.
‘There was a reason for everything.’
And Dana could guess that terrible reason.
“Then what was that earlier? Did someone enter Ignis’s cloned body?”
“Yes.”
“Who?”
“Grandfather, Rodrigo Windsor.”
“…He’s not dead.”
At that moment, Dana completely understood all the resentment Ignis had held long ago. He had hated Windsor. Hated him to the bone.
It was understandable. Worth hating. Worth wanting to kill. To think she would come to understand Ignis’s heart, who had committed bomb terrorism against the Diana cult and Windsor, to this extent!
She should have stood by Ignis’s side and helped him back then!
“Where is he now?”
“Unknown. He joined the anti-cult leader faction.”
“Why… why is he targeting Ignis’s body?”
“Probably because he wants to live longer. Holy water has limits for extending lifespan.”
Viego continued speaking matter-of-factly.
“A young, beautiful, and strong body. He probably planned to mark Ignis early, raise him by his side, and then switch to that body later.”
Her stomach churned.
To think of switching to a young man’s body to live longer!
It was truly disgustingly revolting. Dana came to hate that old man she’d never even seen more than anyone else in the world.
“Then what about Ignis? Can he be revived? Like how I came back to life in this body of Danae Rolland, could he also…?”
“The possibility is slim.”
“Slim? Why?”
Dana grabbed his arm. Viego shook her off with sharp speed, but she didn’t even feel embarrassed.
“On Saint Grave Island, I killed Ignis once before. Didn’t you succeed in awakening him in a new body then? Like how I opened my eyes in this body….”
“This time he died corrupted by corrupted land. That’s different from ordinary death. It’s close to impossible without a miracle.”
Slim… close to impossible….
Dana stared blankly at Viego. He was frowning, quite displeased that Dana had grabbed him.
‘But he didn’t say it was completely impossible….’
Dana swallowed the other questions lingering in her mouth for now.
The details, later.
For now, she had an issue that was as important as Ignis’s matter, or even more important.
“Yeon Dana, where is my body?”
The question to find her body.
“And what did you do with my body? Tell me right now.”
“….”
“You don’t have to tell me. There are several more black cores, so I won’t miss anything if I detonate this one.”
“….”
Was he calculating?
Viego seemed lost in thought, then soon raised the hand holding his cane. He brought it toward her.
“What are you―”
She tried to turn her head away, but Viego used the handle of his cane to pull her chin and make her look at him.
Dana was startled in that moment. What was he doing right now?
“Move it away. Why are you suddenly―”
“Stay still.”
Viego spoke quietly, then this time pressed the handle of his cane against Dana’s forehead with a light tap. Dana was flustered by the action that seemed almost playful.
“What are you doing right now?”
“You said you wanted to know what I did with your body.”
Viego said indifferently.
“I’ll show you. I’ve surrendered to your threat.”
He would show her? How?
Dana stared at him with full vigilance.
‘What’s his scheme?’
Was it the effect of the threat? Viego was looking at her deeply, very deeply, in a way that was bewildering.
“You have Eyes That Look Down Through Time.”
A quiet voice. Dana swallowed. Her throat bobbed with the motion.
It was annoying, but fortunately Viego showed not the slightest interest.
“Use those eyes to go back through time. To the very first moment you came to this place.”
Now… was he talking about Divine Sight?
‘He even knows I have that ability?’
It was a moment of shock.
Her head felt dizzy. The spot where his cane touched gradually grew hot as if being heated.
Dana realized.
That cane Viego always carried around. It wasn’t just an ordinary gentleman’s cane. Something the cane possessed was injecting strong power into her, leading her somewhere.
So that her Divine Sight would open its eyes wider.
So she could see the day she first came to this place.
Going back through time, and back again…
She arrived at some moment in the past.
* * *
Dana looked down at the past.
“Please let me out of this place!”
Not this life, but time from a past life that had already disappeared.
“Lyos, please!”
When Danae Windsor had cried and pleaded with Lyos.
“You’re going to live here with me now, Dana. Accept reality.”
When Lyos had smiled and violated her at will.
Dana realized.
This was that time.
A life already passed, the moment when she was about to marry Lumiere. But the time when she had been kidnapped by Lyos and confined in the cabin…
“Why. Are you disappointed I’m not that bastard Lumiere? Don’t be like that, think of it as spending a honeymoon with me.”
Danae Windsor finally burst into tears.
“Just once would be fine, please let me go outside. It’s so suffocating!”
“Is it that suffocating?”
Then Lyos clicked his tongue as if feeling sorry and wiped away her tears. And he brought his lips to her ear and whispered.
“Then cry some more, Dana.”
In a very tender voice, but one that couldn’t hide the pleasure seeping through.
“Your crying face is really amazing.”
Crazy bastard. Curses lingered on her lips.
No. She really didn’t want to see this.
This wasn’t the memory she was looking for. She didn’t even want to recall such horrible moments!
“If you kiss me first, I’ll let you take a walk for today. Oh, but I’ll put a collar on you. It would be troublesome if you ran away like last time.”
She felt like throwing up. She didn’t want to know!
Dana squeezed her eyes shut. She didn’t want to see it. In the end, she didn’t want to see that humiliating moment of kissing Lyos.
Smack, smack, Lyos getting heated from the light contact and embracing her waist, lifting her onto his thigh—she really didn’t want to see such a scene―
“Dana. Hurry, suck my tongue too…”
Disgusting. She didn’t want to hear it!
Dana quickly fled from that time. She didn’t want to see even a glimpse of Lyos passionately pouncing on her.
‘Back. Back!’
Dana rewound time.
Further back. To a time in the more distant past than this, quickly!
In an instant, she rushed past countless scenes.
Like a salmon returning to its birthplace, Dana went back to the first moment. Quickly, passing through all the past and passing through again, to the beginning.
Yes, to the beginning.
Yeon Dana. To the very first moment she had come to This World.
