Chapter 20
‘This feeling…’
Her body suddenly tingled, and Dana curled her toes.
She felt strange.
Just like when she first kissed Lyos, this sweet, ecstatic, and dizzying feeling.
“I want to see Juan.”
No. It’s more than just wanting to see him.
I want to embrace him right now. I want to kiss him.
Intense desire poured out like a flood. Nothing else remained.
Dana bolted up from her seat.
‘I need to marry Juan right now!’
She rushed toward the Garden.
Hurry. I need to meet him quickly. I’ll embrace him and kiss him right away!
“Dana!”
Just then, someone grabbed her arm firmly.
Dana looked up at him blankly.
Very tall. Platinum hair that seemed infused with moonlight. A handsome man with gentle features.
This man is…
Who was he?
“Dana? What’s wrong?”
I know this face.
Who was it again?
‘Ah. Right.’
Danae’s uncle.
Karl Windsor.
“Dana? Is something wrong?”
“Let go. I’m busy.”
However, Karl’s grip on her arm only grew stronger.
“You can’t wander around dressed like that so late at night.”
“Let go of this!”
“Dana, I’m sorry to say this, but tonight is a full moon. The light is particularly bright. It’s inappropriate to walk around in a negligee. So.”
“Let go! Let go! Let go!”
“Yes, yes. I’ll let you go. But first, let’s get you properly dressed.”
Flash, the man lifted her up. Instantly, Dana became irritated and grabbed at the man’s hair.
“Ahaha. Our Dana, you’ve gotten much stronger, haven’t you?”
“I said let me go!”
“Hahaha. My niece is incredibly strong, incredibly strong.”
Despite having his hair pulled, the man didn’t seem to be in pain as he laughed cheerfully and walked with big strides. Dana struggled frantically in his arms.
“Juan!”
But the moment Dana shouted this.
“I need to go to Juan!”
The man’s footsteps stopped. He tilted his head curiously.
“Why Juan?”
“I need to marry him. So let go of this right now, right now!”
“What kind of relationship do you have with Juan?”
“A loving relationship. He proposed to me. I’m going to marry him!”
“Ah. Juan to you…”
The man let out a hollow laugh.
Then his eyes weren’t smiling. Instead, they turned sharp like a weapon.
“That’s troublesome, Dana.”
“Let go of this!”
“My brother-in-law seems to have seduced you. Well, someone as innocent as you could easily be swept away.”
“I said let me go!”
“That guy is after your fortune, Dana. He doesn’t love you.”
“Let go, let go, let go!”
Her condition was becoming increasingly strange. Dana could feel it herself.
Her thoughts weren’t connecting. Only intense desire for Juan was surging up.
Now it was even difficult to speak proper sentences.
“Juan, Juan!”
As if she had become an idiot who knew only that man.
“Poor Dana. How can you be so naive.”
“Juan! Juan!”
“Please forgive me. I have no choice but to protect your fortune and you.”
“Juan! Juan! Juan!”
“Yes, Juan. I can’t hand you over to my brother-in-law.”
The man spoke gently while firmly gripping Dana’s nape.
Did he press a vital point? All strength drained from her body. Darkness rushed in.
Dana gradually lost consciousness as she went limp in the man’s arms.
“That bastard dared to target your fortune.”
The man muttered this while walking with Dana in his arms.
Where was he going? She couldn’t tell. She was only sinking deeper into darkness.
“Oh, Lumiere, you came at the right time.”
All her senses were gradually fading away.
“Father. Why is Dana…”
Juan. I need to meet Juan.
“Lumiere.”
“Yes.”
“We’ll have to kill Juan.”
Juan, Juan…
…
“—Ah!”
Dana’s eyes snapped open.
At that moment, massive dizziness rushed over her, and everything spun before her eyes.
She blinked while gasping for breath.
What?
What happened?
‘This is… my Garden, isn’t it?’
My Private Garden where I was drinking tea earlier.
Right in front of me is a table, and I am…
‘Huh?’
I was picking up Documents that had fallen to the ground.
In that exact position, completely frozen.
‘What?’
What happened?
Why am I still in the Garden?
Just moments ago I was in Karl’s arms, wasn’t I?
That’s when it happened. A maid entered the garden.
“Miss, I’ve brought you some chamomile tea.”
What…?
Completely stunned, she stared at the maid. The maid slowly approached and presented the chamomile tea before her.
Clink.
At that moment, a scent brushed past her nose.
The calm and peaceful chamomile fragrance was pleasant.
This was definitely the same scent she had smelled just moments ago…
“The night air is quite cool. Shall I bring you a shawl?”
“…”
As the silence lengthened, did she take it as a refusal? The maid bowed her head politely.
“Then I shall take my leave.”
With the same voice, the same tone, the same gestures, she bowed and withdrew.
Everything was exactly the same as before.
What on earth is this…?
‘Ah. I see.’
At that moment, realization washed over her.
Now she finally understood.
Dana looked down at her own hands.
‘I saw the future.’
* * *
Seeing memories carved into the world.
She had experienced this once before.
The past, present, and even parts of the future that had unfolded on this earth. She had glimpsed them fleetingly.
‘That’s how I knew where the Sacred Relic was.’
However, this ability to ‘see’ had only manifested once before.
It had suddenly flashed like lightning without warning and then disappeared.
Since that day, she had never once glimpsed the world’s memories again.
‘Right, it wasn’t just a simple fantasy or dream. I just saw the future.’
The future that would have unfolded if she had drunk that chamomile tea.
Just to be sure, Dana walked through the garden following the exact same path she had seen. And then.
“Dana?”
She encountered Karl Windsor.
Bright platinum hair bathed in moonlight, a handsome man smiling gently.
He was wearing exactly the same outfit as in the future she had glimpsed.
“Dana, are you taking a night stroll?”
Grinning, Karl approached with an affectionate smile. Dana felt goosebumps and almost stepped back.
How could she not?
‘This man knocked me unconscious by force.’
That wasn’t all.
He had tried to kill Juan, his brother-in-law. Without a moment’s hesitation.
‘Wasn’t he devoted to his wife?’
He would so easily try to kill Sandra’s younger brother, the brother of the wife he loved?
Goosebumps suddenly rose all over her.
Karl Windsor, always caring and cheerful. His duplicity now felt terrifying.
‘Well, that man is planning to cut my life short.’
With that beautiful face, that wonderful appearance, that kind smile.
“You shouldn’t wander around dressed like that so late at night.”
Pretending to worry like that, deceiving me to the very end.
While thinking about killing me.
As Dana just stared quietly, Karl tilted his head in puzzlement. Then he took off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders.
“The night air is cold. What would you do if you caught a cold?”
He spoke words of concern affectionately.
“If you’re planning to continue your night stroll, at least put on a proper coat.”
Dana gripped the jacket tightly and barely managed to produce a calm voice.
“Yes. I was about to go back and rest.”
How disgusting.
I feel like throwing up.
“Thank you for your concern.”
You’re a devil, Karl Windsor.
“Good, that’s wise thinking. It’s late at night. Hurry inside and sleep.”
“Good night to you too, Uncle.”
Dana smiled calmly and turned around. Then, as if suddenly remembering something, she stopped.
“By the way, when will Lumiere be returning?”
She asked naturally.
“Ah, speaking of which, Lumiere said he’s on his way back now. He probably arrived at the estate by now.”
“Really?”
“Yes. It seems he achieved another great victory this time.”
“Lumiere really is amazing.”
After exchanging such brief small talk, she walked away. With each step she took, her certainty grew.
‘This confirms it.’
Everything had flowed exactly the same way.
When she touched the ground to pick up the documents. At that moment, she had briefly glimpsed the future.
‘Juan, that bastard…’
Murderous intent surged through her.
That bastard had put something in the chamomile tea.
In the future she glimpsed, strange symptoms appeared after drinking that tea.
She had heard that Devil Worshippers sold things like love potions, and that excessive consumption would turn one into an idiot.
He must have put that in.
‘That bastard.’
Juan failed this time, but he would continue trying in the future.
He would keep trying to turn me into an idiot and steal my fortune.
He’s a stupid bastard, but if he keeps trying, I might accidentally fall for it someday.
‘I need to get rid of Juan Rolland right now.’
I had been preparing to get rid of him someday anyway.
The time had finally come to use Juan’s love letters that I had been carefully collecting all this time.
“Lete.”
Late at night, Dana summoned her secretary again. Then she held out an envelope.
“Deliver this to Juan Rolland.”
“What is this?”
At that question, Dana smiled coldly.
“A reply.”
