Chapter 208

 

 

 

 

* * *

 

Sandra turned around. She walked quickly, very quickly down the corridor.

‘It was Danae who took the medicine.’

Fortunately, it was still early. Karl was just supporting Danae who was burning with fever.

But if something started?

What if something happened?

She had to stop it. Until dirt entered her eyes, she absolutely could not watch Karl getting intimate with another woman. Absolutely not!

“Lumiere!”

Bang bang bang!

Sandra roughly pounded on Lumiere’s bedroom door.

“Lumiere, it’s me, Sandra! Lumiere!”

Then after a moment, the bedroom door opened. Lumiere in nightclothes tilted his head slightly.

“What’s the matter at this hour, Mother?”

“Go check on Karl.”

“Pardon?”

“It seems Karl and Danae are fighting. Won’t you go and stop them?”

“….”

Lumiere narrowed his eyes as if gauging something, examining her.

Sandra became anxious.

‘He’s finding me suspicious.’

Even though his memories of fighting with Sandra had disappeared.

Was it still carved into his instincts? Lumiere had always been wary of Sandra.

“If there’s a problem, my adoptive father will handle it himself.”

After a moment, Lumiere answered somewhat coldly.

“Must I go at this hour?”

“Lumiere!”

“My wife is sleeping, Mother. Please lower your voice.”

Sandra gritted her teeth. Wife, indeed. When he used to chase after Danae Windsor like a dog!

“Then I’ll be going.”

Lumiere coldly closed the door.

In the end, Sandra returned with no way to do anything.

Tonight. There was nothing she could do.

‘But there are many things I can do in the future.’

Alice’s biological father. If she borrowed that man’s power, she could separate Danae from Karl.

However.

 

“Free help is over, Sandra.”

 

That man had said last time.

 

“If you’re thinking of asking for my help again, you’ll have to pay a price then.”

 

From now on, she would have to pay a price.

After much deliberation, Sandra made her decision.

She returned to her bedroom. She took out a container of tea leaves from the drawer. Then she headed to Alice’s room.

“Mom? Why are you back so early? Did you fail?”

“Yes. It didn’t go well.”

“Aww. What a shame.”

“Alice, why aren’t you sleeping?”

“Well, it’s because of insomnia. I was going to read and then sleep.”

Alice’s favorite adult romance novels were spread out on the bed.

“If you drink this tea, you’ll be able to sleep well.”

Sandra brewed tea with trembling hands.

Sandra had been consistently giving Alice this tea, no, this medicine since she was young.

But today was the last time.

She could no longer give it to her.

 

“Stop giving that medicine to my daughter, Alice.”

 

Because that man had demanded it as payment.

 

“If I stop? Then what happens to Alice?”

“Don’t worry about what happens.”

“How can I not worry? Alice is my daughter!”

“If you’re worried about Alice’s wellbeing, then don’t ask me for help.”

 

I’m sorry, Alice.

“Alice. When Mom was young, she received a lot of criticism.”

“Huh?”

“They pointed fingers at me, calling me promiscuous. Isn’t it ridiculous? Noble young masters my age could have dozens of mistresses without receiving such criticism.”

“….”

“But Karl was different. He never once judged me or criticized me. I had never seen such a man anywhere. I cannot love any man other than him.”

“Wow. What a wonderful love. It must be fate.”

Yes. That’s why I absolutely want to win him.

Even if it means caring a little, just a little less about your wellbeing.

‘Alice, you’re an adult now, so it should be okay for Mom to care for you a little less, right? That should be okay, right?’

Swallowing those words, Sandra held out the teacup to Alice.

“Drink it.”

This is the last medicine I’m giving you.

 

* * *

 

“Lumiere? What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing.”

Ingria, who had woken up, tossed and turned. Lumiere pulled up the blanket to cover her, then went out to the terrace.

 

“It seems Karl and Danae are fighting.”

 

Well. It seemed like a lie.

Even if it were true, he had no intention of getting involved in their fight.

‘Still, I did promise to protect Danae.’

I even told her to come to the Empire with me because I would make her happy.

To change Danae’s mind about becoming a priest of Diana, to make her return to the Empire. To accomplish the mission given by his grandfather.

He had deliberately acted overly affectionate and kind to achieve that.

But it felt unsettling to just pretend not to know.

Lumiere eventually headed to Karl Windsor’s room. He knocked. Knock, knock.

“It’s Lumiere.”

After a moment, the door opened silently. Through the slightly opened gap, Karl could be seen.

“What is it?”

“Is Danae here?”

“Yes.”

“I heard there was a problem with Danae. Is she alright?”

“Well, you see…”

Karl sighed and drew out his words.

“It seems I need your help—”

Stop.

Karl’s words suddenly cut off.

“…?”

Karl, who had stopped speaking, just stared intently at Lumiere.

It was a strange look. Eyes that judged, decided, and discerned. At the same time, it was a gaze that stirred an odd sense of competitiveness.

“No.”

Finally, Karl’s lips opened again.

“On second thought, I don’t think I’ll need your help.”

Karl smiled more brightly than usual and grabbed the door handle again.

“It’s fine, so go back.”

What was that supposed to mean?

He tried to ask more, but the door closed before he could. It was a clear dismissal.

Lumiere stood silently for a moment, then turned around.

He had clearly said he needed his help, so why did he suddenly change his mind?

‘There really must be a problem with Danae.’

Now that he knew, he couldn’t just leave irresponsibly.

Lumiere leaned his back against a pillar in the corridor. When he quietly listened, he could faintly hear sounds from inside the room.

He couldn’t make out the exact words. However, he could read the atmosphere inside the room.

‘Adoptive Father probably knows I’m eavesdropping here.’

That was his intention.

Since Lumiere was standing outside, he wouldn’t be able to do anything terrible to Danae.

He intended to keep watch until he was certain Danae was safe.

How much time had passed like that?

“…?”

Lumiere doubted his own ears.

 

* * *

 

This feeling was a first.

Dana panted heavily.

“Is it very difficult?”

Karl lifted her up as she lay face down on the sofa in distress and seated her on his thigh. Then, like stroking a sick puppy, he gently rubbed Dana’s back.

“Try breathing slowly.”

It was plain kindness without a trace of sexual desire. However.

‘Stop.’

Heat rose along the path of his touch. Something very hot seemed to accumulate and pile up along his touch, burning her up.

“Are you feeling better?”

No. I feel like I’m dying.

It throbbed. All her senses had become hypersensitive, and even the feeling of Karl’s thigh pressed under her buttocks was stimulating.

Even when she attended worship ceremonies at the sanctuary, it wasn’t this intense…

That meant.

‘My power is growing.’

As her lust grew stronger, so did her power. Even now, at this very moment.

Along with the passion bubbling like lava, power was erupting like a fountain. Separate from the passion heating her body, Dana trembled with a sense of omnipotence.

‘Right now, I could do anything.’

She could see anything. She could purify anything.

Yes, even if it was…

“Dana, that water from earlier contained poison.”

Even if it was Karl Windsor.

“It’s called Red Arrow, a nasty deadly poison used on battlefields. Someone must have been targeting me.”

Right now, she might be able to purify Karl.

Although last time she had been knocked down by his tsunami-like lust—right now it was worth trying.

The poison was called Red Arrow, wasn’t it?

She should remember that. This was practically a power enhancer.

“If we don’t expel the toxins in your body now, you’ll have mental problems.”

Dana looked at him while breathing heavily. Karl’s eyes were full of concern.

“It’s already very difficult, isn’t it? Unfortunately, the intensity will gradually get worse from now on.”

It really was. His subtle breath and even the movement of his chest muscles were so stimulating that Dana was in agony.

However, suppressing that torment, her mind raced.

At this moment, she felt she could purify Karl.

‘But Karl won’t willingly accept purification.’

He had consistently avoided purification. To be precise, he had refused to be entangled with her through lust.

Karl had drawn a steel-like line between them.

“Please forgive what I’m about to say. I don’t want to dirty your ears, but…”

This situation must be awkward and troubling for him.

However, despite his hesitation, Karl continued speaking.

“You know I used to be a soldier, right?”

I know. Though I can’t imagine how someone with your personality served as a soldier.

“During those days, I saw several soldiers affected by this poison. Since it was wartime and circumstances weren’t favorable, the poisoned soldiers…”

Karl paused for a moment and avoided Dana’s gaze.

“They, they resolved it themselves.”

Wondering if Dana would properly understand this meaning, if she would catch on, he carefully continued while watching her reaction.

“Um, I understand that provided some degree of detoxification. So, so Dana too…”

Karl’s face reddened as he stammered.

“Co, co, could you do it alone?”

Exactly three seconds later, Dana, who understood the meaning, gritted her teeth.

What are you talking about right now?

“I, I’ll go outside and make sure no one can enter. So.”

Dana grabbed his clothes tightly.

Go where? Really, this man!

“Don’t go.”

She couldn’t let him go. She couldn’t miss this opportunity.

She had never been this powerful before, and who knew when she would become this strong again!

“Don’t go, Uncle.”

He was right. Dana’s body was burning hot right now. Even her breath seemed to carry a sweet fragrance.

However, her mind was surprisingly cold.

According to Karl, this was poison. It was clear that leaving it alone wouldn’t be good.

In the process of resolving this, her lust would grow even more, and she would become even stronger.

At that moment, if she were in contact with Karl Windsor.

‘If I purify him then, it will succeed.’

If the purification succeeded, Karl had promised to lend her the sacred relic.

Sandra had even witnessed this scene earlier. She had succeeded in provoking her too.

That wasn’t all.

She could use this excuse to legitimately attempt seduction. If he fell for it, that would be perfect. Nothing was easier to control than a man who had crumbled to his desires.

So this was a golden opportunity.

An opportunity that might never come again.

“Uncle. I’ve never done anything like that.”

“Th, then?”

“Yes. I don’t know about such things.”

And Karl Windsor would believe this claim.

Because this man was—

“Of course our innocent Dana wouldn’t know about such things…”

Such a fool.

Just moments ago, his foolish delusions had been tiresome, but now it seemed rather fortunate.

“Don’t leave me behind, Uncle. Telling me to do it alone—such things scare me.”

Dana embraced his neck and sobbed.

“I don’t even know how to do such things. So…”

Right now, these words would work.

Dana looked at him with wet eyes and pleaded.

“So please teach me, Uncle.”
