Chapter 214

 

 

 

 

* * *

 

A moment later, Dana was dragged into the guest room of the master who had won her bid.

“Dana…”

However, it was number 66 who knelt down.

“So this is what happened.”

Instead, Dana sat cross-legged on the bed like his master, looking down at the man with contemptuous eyes.

“How this came to be.”

“Don’t talk to me.”

“Huh?”

“I said don’t talk to me, trash.”

“I, I’m sorry.”

“…”

Idiot. Look at him using formal speech in his anger.

Dana glared at Karl. Karl was truly frightened of her and was restless.

It was the first time she had shown such a terrifyingly angry expression without pretense.

‘What a thorough disguise.’

A shaggy hair wig and horn-rimmed glasses.

No joke, he looked like some Academy student. Setting aside how young he looked, he was trembling like a frightened Maltese, making him look even more pathetic.

“Um.”

After a moment, Karl spoke up with the face of someone who had made a big decision.

“But how did you recognize that it was me? There’s no way you could have…”

Was he calling that a question right now?

When she glared at him with ice-pick eyes, Karl shrank his shoulders. But he still looked puzzled.

Come to think of it, not only the anti-cult humans but even his daughter Alice hadn’t noticed Karl.

Of course, his disguise was quite convincing.

‘But not enough to be unrecognizable.’

After a moment, Karl awkwardly got up.

“Sorry, but I still have things to do.”

“…”

“I’ll go out for a bit, so could Dana wait here for me…?”

What was he saying? This idiot.

Dana laughed coldly and sneered viciously.

“Why? Going to look for a mirror?”

Karl’s throat stiffened. It was a very fierce and sharp tone he had never heard from her before.

She hadn’t been like this even when she cut his finger and stole his ring.

Now, Dana was so cold that he could almost see the illusion of a blizzard swirling behind her.

“I asked if you’re going to look for a mirror.”

“Wh, what are you talking about?”

“Don’t pretend you don’t understand.”

“Well, I really don’t know what Dana is talking about…”

“Where did you get the information?”

“…”

“The mirror that can take you to the frozen lake, when and how did you learn about such ancient artifacts?”

He definitely didn’t know until recently.

If he had known, he wouldn’t have stayed still all this time without trying to get his hands on it.

Karl had been trying to get to the frozen lake for a long time.

He must have only learned of its existence recently.

“Did you secretly eavesdrop on my conversation with Miona?”

Just like she had.

When she extracted a confession from Miona not long ago, Dana had learned about the mirror’s existence for the first time then.

Dana didn’t think this was a coincidence.

“Are you stalking me?”

“No, I would never do such a thing…”

“Have you ever followed me around and eavesdropped on my conversations?”

Karl couldn’t say a word like he had honey in his mouth. Dana interrogated him with eyes full of contempt.

“Have you ever rummaged through my room without permission and stolen my belongings?”

Come to think of it, he knew about her unusually well.

It wasn’t just once or twice that he had appeared out of nowhere wherever she went.

“Karl Windsor. Are you my stalker?”

Karl’s face turned bright red.

Dana snorted and slowly scanned his reddened face, earlobes, and nape.

She thought it served him right.

A few days ago. That night, he had acted calmly without changing his expression at all. To think he’d be so troubled by such trivial criticism.

She must have hit the mark.

‘And yet, he’s trying to use me now to find the mirror?’

Suddenly, a rough impulse clawed at her chest.

She hated Karl Windsor so much, despised him so much that she couldn’t bear it.

A vicious impulse swept over her, and Dana crushed his fingers with her pointed heel. So it would hurt him. Because she wanted him to hurt.

Then Karl looked up at her in surprise.

“Why, Uncle?”

Dana deliberately looked at him with gentle eyes. As if nothing was wrong. Just like he had done that night. Smiling kindly.

“What’s wrong?”

She pressed down hard on his finger with force.

Then she could feel his thick, long finger being crushed under her shoe. Dana twisted and stepped on it while asking gently.

“You lured Alice here to use her as bait to disrupt the anti-cult faction, didn’t you?”

“…”

“Even though you’re not blood-related, you raised Alice as your daughter and used her like that. Do you have no conscience?”

He didn’t answer. No, he couldn’t.

Karl seemed to be choking, unable to even breathe. The intense tension that was strangling him now. That piercing emotion reached her too.

He must have been that shocked.

By the violence he was experiencing now.

Moreover, being treated like this by Dana of all people.

Of course, it would be unbelievable for a woman he considered a kind and gentle child to show such quiet violence.

It was the first time seeing Karl so frozen, and a strange pleasure washed over her.

“So you didn’t stop me even though you knew I’d be kidnapped by the red ship, right? You must have expected the anti-cult executives to approach me with the mirror.”

Bad bastard.

Suddenly, heat surged up and she put full force on the foot crushing his finger. Then he moved his lips slightly, but again couldn’t say anything. Dana looked down at him like looking at a servant and smiled.

“Why? Does it hurt?”

“…Yes. It hurts.”

“I’m making it hurt on purpose, Uncle.”

Then I suppose you want me to say it feels good.

However, Dana moved her foot that had been crushing his finger to the side.

“That’s why you didn’t actively receive purification from me, right? You’re determined to go to the frozen lake and use holy water.”

Karl no longer denied it.

Perhaps shocked by her sadistic behavior just moments ago, he could no longer fabricate lies.

Dana glared at him piercingly and spat out her words.

“You promised you’d never deceive me again.”

“….”

Silence descended.

Karl remained silent for a long while, then muttered quietly after a moment.

“I wasn’t particularly trying to deceive you, Dana. It’s just that there are various complicated circumstances that are difficult to explain….”

“Oh my. The vermin can even talk.”

Karl’s expression instantly hardened. As expected, the insect remarks were very effective on him.

“This human who’s worse than vermin.”

“….”

“Human trash more harmful than parasites.”

Thud. Thud. As if arrows had pierced him completely, Karl groaned with a pained expression. And then.

“Since it’s come to this… may I act like a vermin a little more?”

“What?”

Click.

“….”

What is this?

Dana looked down.

Just now, Karl had fastened something around her wrist.

Cold, hard silver metal. Shaped like a round bracelet―

‘Handcuffs?’

Dana couldn’t believe it and stared at her wrist.

Are these really handcuffs?

Then, click again. Karl attached the other handcuff to the bed headboard. So Dana couldn’t escape from the bed.

Dana couldn’t understand this situation.

“What are you doing?”

“It’s for your safety.”

“What?”

“You can’t leave this room now. Very dangerous and terrible things are going to happen on this ship shortly.”

He spoke with a grave expression.

“I’m worried Dana might run into that danger, so I’m protecting you to keep you safe. Please understand.”

What is there to understand, you crazy man! Dana screamed in shock.

“Where are you running off to, you hypocrite! Get back here right now!”

“I-I’ll be back!”

Karl was apparently quite frightened of Dana, apologizing in formal speech before fleeing.

“Stop right there!”

Dana threw one of her shoes at the back of his head. Thwack! The shoe hit his brown messy hair directly.

But he still scurried out of the room like a cockroach.

“Sorry, Dana. You can be angry at me later, but you absolutely cannot come out.”

Then came the sound of iron chains being wrapped around the door handle from outside.

“Outside is very, very dangerous. You understand, right? I’ll be back soon, so stay here.”

And the sound of footsteps fading away.

Karl had left.

‘Crazy bastard.’

The human who was kneeling and begging before me just moments ago handcuffs me and locks me up?

In the end, he’s doing whatever he wants again. Again!

Dana barely suppressed her rising anger. And tried to think calmly.

‘He’s locked me up and gone to find the mirror.’

And Karl will achieve his goal no matter what.

He’ll somehow find and steal the mirror.

And use her as a medium to open the passage.

‘Right, up to that point Karl and my goals are the same.’

So it would be good if they cooperated― but he has no intention of doing so.

Dana suspected she knew the reason.

Because their final objectives diverged.

‘Karl doesn’t want me to go to the Frozen Lake and reclaim Yeon Dana’s body.’

Because Yeon Dana’s body is the source of Holy Water. If Dana reclaims her body, Holy Water will disappear from This World.

Karl doesn’t seem to want that.

Even if his lust were miraculously purified, he’d want to keep it as insurance, for any unforeseen circumstances.

‘I can’t let Karl steal the mirror. I have to find it first.’

It wouldn’t be difficult.

Because the Anti-Pope Faction people are also desperately searching for her right now.

Meaning they both desperately want to meet each other!

‘So I just need to get out of here!’

These handcuffs, how do I unlock them?

Dana frantically looked around. Isn’t there something? Something that could break the handcuffs―

That’s when it happened.

Crack.

“…?”

A strange sound of metal breaking came from outside the door. Followed by bang, bang, loud crashes of something being destroyed.

And the next moment, the door swung wide open. A man wearing a pure white robe walked in.

Dana tensed up. Anti-Pope Faction? Another clone of Ignis….

‘No.’

Dana intuited.

This wasn’t a replica of Ignis. The outline of his physique visible under the robe was different.

No, no―

“Please rise.”

This man was like no one else.

He was a man who couldn’t be like anyone else.

“This ship will soon become dangerous. So hurry.”

The next moment the man’s words were cut short.

He looked at the handcuffs connected to the bed and frowned his golden eyebrows.

‘Why is this person here?’

A figure she never imagined meeting here. The former Emperor and uncle of the current Emperor Lyos.

“Your Majesty, no, Your Holiness, why are you here.”

It was Justio, the Pope of the Ramun Church.
