Chapter 207
* * *
Karl anxiously observed Dana.
Dana still looked furious. As expected, she seemed to treat his words as nothing more than a flimsy excuse.
‘But it’s not a lie.’
He had told Dana countless lies up until now, and would probably continue to do so in the future.
But this time, it was real.
On the ship heading to the Empire, Dana had come to his guest room. With a hairstyle he’d never seen before.
And she said something—
“Uncle? Are you listening to me?”
He hadn’t heard a single word.
She was just so shockingly adorable.
“Yes, I’ll do that.”
He had just answered as if entranced without realizing it. This time, he really had no intention of betraying Dana!
But perhaps it still lacked persuasiveness. Dana’s gaze grew increasingly cold.
“Really? Then why did you go along with Sandra’s lie?”
“Well, I couldn’t refuse…”
“You could have just refused. Why did you go along with the lie that I’m your real daughter!”
“That’s because…”
That also happened by chance.
The moment Karl heard Sandra’s words, his fantasy circuits began running wild on their own.
What if Dana really was his daughter—
For example, on nights when Dana couldn’t sleep. She would come to me clutching her pillow.
“Sniff. Dana had a scary ghost dream.”
“Oh my, was our Dana scared? Come here. I’ll put you to sleep.”
In the same bed, I could use my arm as a pillow for Dana and pat her saying sleep well, our cute Dana.
“Why are you skipping the goodnight kiss? I hate it. Dana is sad.”
“Oh dear, did I? Come here. Kiss kiss kiss!”
Anyway, all sorts of fantasies came flooding in and he got swept away without realizing it.
“…Ha.”
Dana, having heard those fantasies, was left speechless. Wasn’t he insane? To have such unpleasant and rude imaginations!
‘What exactly does this man think of me?’
How did he see her to have such fantasies? It was absurd.
“Dana, I’m sorry. I’ll make it up to you somehow.”
Dana felt hopeless.
Make it up. Of course he could somehow do that.
But time would be delayed.
‘Time is money for me.’
Dana had made a deal with Viego.
What he demanded in exchange for returning her body were two things.
To bear a successor with purification abilities.
And to purify whenever corrupted land appeared.
‘So I don’t have time to waste. When corrupted land appears, I have to go purify it.’
Today, if Karl had just pretended to approve the marriage.
Then Sandra would have tried to eliminate Danae and borrowed the power of Alice’s biological father from the Anti-Pope Faction.
If she could steal the artifact leading to the frozen lake from him, she could find Yeon Dana’s body. She wouldn’t need to be manipulated by Viego.
But it had all fallen through.
Well, had Karl ever moved easily according to her will?
‘He even tries to avoid receiving purification.’
The day she first purified Karl’s lust.
Since that day, Karl had always made various excuses to avoid purification. He only promised in words to receive purification.
The more she thought about it, the more her insides twisted.
Looking back, Karl had never easily given her what she truly wanted.
“Uncle is useless.”
But even so, Karl would be genuinely hurt by my words. He would truly be in pain.
So she deliberately spoke harshly.
“Completely useless, not helpful at all.”
As expected, Karl’s eyes became moist. He whispered with reddened eyes.
“Sorry for being useless…”
“…”
And what was really annoying was.
When she saw that face like a puppy caught in the rain, her anger would naturally subside.
Yes, just like right now.
Fine. What good would getting more annoyed do?
‘Right. Instead of wasting time on this, let me think of another method.’
Feeling frustrated, she picked up the water bottle from the side table and poured it into a glass. The moment she took a sip.
“…!”
A sensation like swallowing a ball of fire rushed through her.
Crash! Her hand lost strength and she dropped the glass.
“Ah.”
Karl caught Dana’s swaying shoulders.
“Are you okay?”
“…”
No.
She was not okay.
* * *
“Mother, hurry to Father’s room.”
Alice urged.
“I put medicine in all the drinks in Father’s room. Just one sip of water and he’ll be intoxicated by the drug!”
“Medicine? Don’t tell me it’s the kind of medicine I’m imagining?”
“That’s right! It’s a chance to remarry Father! Before Sister Dana’s evil spirit bewitches Father, conceive a third child tonight!”
Sandra was shocked.
My cute daughter, who had seemed like such an innocent child, was doing such things!
But on the other hand, she was proud.
To go this far for her parents’ reunion. What an unparalleled filial daughter in this world.
‘A daughter really is the best.’
Sandra hurriedly prepared herself and headed to Karl’s room.
‘That son was completely useless!’
Lumiere. That bastard is an unfilial son.
Sandra still remembered it vividly.
About 2 years ago from now, the moment she had fought fiercely with Lumiere.
“Mother. What are you trying to do to Dana?”
Right after the divorce from Karl.
Karl had left on a trip with Danae Windsor.
Sandra had tried to harm Danae then. Using the power of that man, Alice’s biological father.
But Lumiere had noticed that plan.
“Tell me what you’re trying to do. Now.”
That damn son of a bitch.
Sandra curled her fingers into a fist.
Her fingernails were artificial. Fake nails that had been attached.
Her real fingernails were gone.
That day, Lumiere had pulled them out.
‘That unfilial bastard. Bewitched by a woman, he tortured his own mother.’
So Sandra had trapped Lumiere.
An operation to manipulate Lumiere’s memories.
The so-called ‘Shield Breaking Operation’. To destroy the shield that would protect Dana—Lumiere—Sandra was the accomplice in that operation commanded by Miona.
‘Lumiere. You abandoned me first.’
So I abandoned you too. I can abandon an ill-mannered child like you anytime.
Even without you, I have Alice, my eternal supporter.
With that daughter’s help, I can get back the man I love.
Finally arriving at Karl’s room, Sandra opened the door filled with anticipation. And at that moment, she froze completely.
“….”
Her mind went blank. She couldn’t believe it.
What am I looking at right now?
At that moment, Karl’s eyes turned toward her.
Their eyes met.
As if trying to protect Danae from Sandra’s gaze, Karl pulled the child deep into his embrace. And he opened his lips.
“Get out.”
Dark eyes she had never seen from Karl before. A low and heavy voice she had never heard even once.
“Get out. Sandra.”
