Chapter 206

* * *

On the way to the Roland Mansion.

Alice was extremely excited.

‘Finally, I can make Mom and Dad remarry.’

Nita, the maid that Mother had assigned to her. That capable maid had obtained the medicine.

The name of this medicine was ‘Red Arrow’.

This wasn’t just some simple aphrodisiac.

‘It’s a poison used by the Barbarian Tribe?’

It was a drug used by the Barbarian Tribe to disrupt the Imperial army during war, and it was said to be a very vicious deadly poison that antidotes couldn’t cure, and if the lust wasn’t satisfied, it would drive one’s mind to ruin.

In other words, it was a chemical weapon used on the battlefield.

‘Since Dad was once a soldier, I think something this strong is necessary to work on him.’

It felt a bit unsettling, but it couldn’t be helped. At least the effect would be certain.

This was all for maintaining family harmony!

‘Right. Now it’s time for Dad to focus on his family too.’

When Sister Danae was alive, Dad felt as distant as a stranger. Dad always cherished Sister more.

But Sister was dead. She was gone now.

Alice held onto hope. Yes, let’s think positively. Everything will work out!

Really, everything seemed like it would work out well.

“Hello.”

Until she saw that child at the Roland Mansion, Danaina Roland.

Alice’s mind went completely blank as if she had seen a ghost. All hope, no, she could hear the sound of the ground beneath her feet crumbling.

“It’s nice to meet you like this. Alice.”

It was an evil spirit.

The evil spirit of Sister Danae had appeared.

* * *

‘Amazing, really.’

Dana was once again impressed by Karl.

That person was truly carefree.

To come visiting so cheerfully to the house where his divorced wife and former father-in-law lived.

“It’s really nice to gather like this. Alice. Thank you so much for arranging this occasion.”

On the other hand, Duke Roland seemed quite uncomfortable around Karl. He even appeared nervous.

“It’s good to meet you again, Karl. I always wanted to maintain good relations with you, but I thought that might not be possible.”

Well, most soldiers found Karl intimidating. Especially the older soldiers.

They were the ones who remembered Karl Windsor’s days as a soldier. However, Dana, who didn’t know that era, couldn’t even imagine him in military uniform.

“As for the unpleasant incidents that occurred during the marriage, I apologize on Sandra’s behalf.”

Sandra, sitting next to Anton Roland, bit her lips tightly as if ashamed.

Karl laughed as if it was nothing.

“It’s fine. It’s all in the past, so please don’t worry about it.”

“Truly magnanimous. I’ve always thought you were a true gentleman.”

A true gentleman. Dana barely held back her sneer.

“Karl. I heard you took good care of my granddaughter Danaina when she lost her memory?”

Perhaps feeling urgent, Anton Roland immediately brought up the main topic.

“It seems Danaina has developed good feelings toward you because of that. What do you think? Would you consider remarrying my granddaughter?”

Clang!

Alice dropped her fork. Looking surprised, she gaped and stared alternately at Karl and Dana.

Karl tilted his head.

“Dana said she wants to marry me?”

Dana answered instead.

“Yes.”

Then Karl stared at her intently. He looked puzzled. His face showed he had heard something very strange, which impressed Dana.

‘As expected, you’re good at acting, Karl Windsor.’

He must have known this topic would come up.

Before arriving at the Empire, on the ship, Dana had made a request to Karl.

“If marriage talk comes up, please play along. Since it won’t actually happen anyway, just pretend.”

“Okay, I’ll do that.”

Karl had readily agreed. So he would soon pretend to hesitate before accepting.

When that happened…

‘You won’t just sit still and watch.’

Dana observed Sandra’s face. It looked like it would shatter at any moment. It was having an effect.

It wasn’t just Sandra.

‘This will reach Lyos’s ears too.’

Dana had first developed feelings for Karl and proposed marriage.

When Lyos found out, his next target of jealousy would be Karl.

Then Lumiere would be safe.

Karl would become dangerous instead, but that didn’t matter.

‘Karl tried to kill me twice too.’

He had spared her life on a simple whim, but that was just a whim.

Dana didn’t trust Karl at all.

She knew Karl found her endearing. She knew he thought she was pretty.

But such cheap affection could disappear at any time.

If the day came when he grew tired of her—then, if necessary, he would really kill me.

‘But at least not now. Right now, Karl Windsor truly treasures me.’

So Dana intended to make full use of that affection before its expiration date.

“No. Absolutely not.”

Then Sandra, who had been silent, stepped forward.

“Absolutely, absolutely not.”

“Sandra. Be quiet. Where do you…”

“She’s Karl’s daughter!”

“What?”

“Danaina is Karl’s daughter!”

Sandra shouted with a pale complexion. Her voice was desperate, as if grasping at a last lifeline.

“Danaina is Karl’s and my biological daughter! So that’s absolutely, absolutely something that must not happen! God would not allow it!”

What nonsense.

Dana put on a surprised expression for now, but inwardly sneered at her.

‘If you want to stop the marriage, at least tell a more sincere lie.’

Who would believe that?

Especially Anton Roland and Karl, who knew Danaina was an artificial human, would never…

“My daughter?”

Huh?

“Dana is… my daughter?”

Why is he acting like that?

Karl was staring at her with a dreamy expression.

“Dana is?”

What’s with those eyes that seem ecstatic just thinking about it?

A sense of foreboding suddenly surged up. Wait. No way. It can’t be…

“It’s possible.”

Karl muttered blankly.

“It could very well be.”

That crazy bastard!

* * *

That night.

Karl was given a guest room.

“Stay here for a while and think carefully about whether your memory might be wrong.”

Duke Roland detained Karl.

“As you know, Sandra met with many men. It might not be your child.”

Duke Roland wanted him as a son-in-law so badly that he was willing to insult his own daughter Sandra.

“Why did you do that?”

Late at night, Dana went to find him and confronted him fiercely. Then Karl smiled as if troubled.

“Well, I had to refuse.”

“What?”

“How could someone like me marry our cute Dana? That would be wrong to Dana.”

“…”

“Dana should meet a much better man.”

What?

Her head throbbed for a moment. But she soon clenched her fists and snapped at him.

“Who said I’d actually do it?”

“Huh?”

“You agreed to pretend to marry me, to act!”

“I, I did? When?”

“Before we arrived at the Empire, on the ship! Don’t you remember when I went to see Uncle?”

“Ah.”

Karl finally seemed to understand and narrowed his eyes.

“That was about this?”

“…!”

“Actually, I couldn’t really hear what you were saying then…”

Karl confessed cautiously.

“So I just said okay without knowing what it was, and it turned out to be this. Sorry.”

Is he… calling that an excuse?

Her blood pressure rose and her neck felt stiff. Dana barely managed to ask calmly.

“Is that so? Why couldn’t you hear me? I spoke clearly in front of Uncle.”

“Well.”

Karl answered while avoiding her gaze.

“You had your hair rolled up like a little dumpling, tied up high.”

“So what.”

“It was so, so cute…”

As if recalling that scene, Karl’s facial muscles melted.

“So I couldn’t concentrate on what you were saying.”

“…”

“Sorry.”
