Chapter 221

 

 

 

 

* * *

 

“I’d like you to learn shooting.”

One day, Viego Windsor suddenly made the suggestion.

“Shooting? Is there something going on all of a sudden?”

“No. Just.”

Viego paused for a moment before speaking.

“You should know how to protect yourself.”

Though his face seemed cold at first glance, his eyes were quite gentle.

Dana liked that gap. His appearance looked extremely cold and seemed heartless—

But he was actually a warm person when you got to know him.

Dana liked Viego.

The scent of crisp paper that emanated from him. The thoughtful care he showed while pretending to be indifferent. His low voice that made you feel reverent just listening to it.

She liked it all.

“If Brother would teach me, I’d be grateful.”

 

* * *

 

“Are you awake, Lady Danawin?”

Dana stared blankly at the ceiling and slowly mulled over that dream.

What she just saw was a memory from when she was ‘Danae Windsor.’ A memory from before things went wrong with Viego.

Dana, who fully understood the content of the dream, sat up abruptly.

‘I remember everything.’

June 1st, 1811.

The first day she returned to the past and possessed Danawin’s body.

On the first day, at the first moment, Dana couldn’t remember anything. She had no memories.

 

“My goodness, Lady Danawin has opened her eyes!”

 

The servants made a commotion. In the midst of their surprise, Dana only blinked her eyes.

Because her mind was a blank slate.

However, as time passed, her memories gradually returned.

‘I came from the future.’

‘My name is Yeon Dana.’

‘Justio made me do something. That’s why I came to this place.’

And after sleeping through the night and waking up now, today.

June 2nd, 1811.

Dana had recovered all her memories.

‘As expected, even though Justio is helping me, my memories aren’t completely intact.’

Still, she was fortunate that all her memories returned in just one day.

“Are you awake?”

Dana turned her head.

An extremely beautiful man was approaching. A man with long platinum hair hanging down, with the pure appearance of an innocent seeker.

‘Rodrigo Windsor…’

He was the current cult leader of the Diana religion.

“How are you feeling?”

Her teeth clenched.

His insides were utterly vile, yet his exterior looked so holy. Moreover, he appeared as a young man, probably from taking holy water.

“Everything’s fine.”

“Good. That’s a relief.”

Rodrigo smiled slightly.

“Dana. I’m truly happy that you’ve opened your eyes.”

His face showed genuine emotion he couldn’t contain.

‘Well, this man did cry yesterday…’

‘Danawin’ had opened her eyes.

At this news yesterday, Rodrigo Windsor came running out barefoot.

No, it wasn’t just barefoot.

He must have been bathing and rushed out in the middle, wearing only a towel around his lower body.

Rodrigo Windsor stared at her with an incredibly foolish expression, then suddenly turned around and appeared again shortly after in proper attire.

 

“Get up. There’s somewhere to go.”

 

Then he took her to the forbidden zone where black cores were buried.

When she demonstrated purifying them, Rodrigo sat down on the spot and shed tears alone.

Purification ability.

The ability the Windsor family had struggled so hard to create had finally blossomed in his generation.

“If you need anything, tell me. Whatever you desire, I’ll bring it to you.”

Perhaps that’s why. Rodrigo’s eyes held an overwhelming amount of affection.

He looked like a boy experiencing first love, which made her stomach churn.

“Today I said I’d introduce you to your family, right? They’re waiting for you.”

At those words, Dana’s spine stiffened.

“Your husband is waiting.”

 

* * *

 

Dana finally met him for the first time.

“I am Demian Windsor.”

Demian Windsor, whom she’d only heard about.

The man who would later leave all his wealth to Danae Windsor. And currently the Duke Windsor.

But…

‘Why does he look like that?’

His eyes had dark bruises, and his face was rigid.

Demian spoke stiffly as if forcibly reciting given lines.

“After giving birth, you will go to the Empire as my wife.”

“…”

“As your legal husband, I will take responsibility and care for you, so trust me and follow me.”

His voice sounded absolutely terrible.

Anyone could see he wasn’t here because he wanted to be.

And.

“This child is my son, Viego Windsor.”

“…”

“Come on, Viego. This is your mother. You should greet her.”

A small fairy-like boy bowed his head.

The corners of Dana’s lips twitched.

Seven years old. Or maybe eight. He was shockingly adorable. Moreover.

‘He’s wearing a ribbon…’

At that age, it was customary to wear a ribbon on the shirt instead of a tie.

But Dana found it somehow deeply shocking. Viego wearing a ribbon!

Then Rodrigo spoke to her gently.

“Dana. You should know this too. Men have a duty to spread as many seeds as possible.”

“Yes.”

“Demian was faithful to that duty and bore a son named Viego. Though he’s not your biological child, embrace him with love.”

Then he added in a mocking tone.

“Unfortunately, Viego has never grown up receiving his birth mother’s care.”

At that, Demian’s face froze. Rodrigo smiled softly.

“Demian, so don’t be difficult and bring Viego’s birth mother here.”

“…”

“You must introduce her to me. Viego has the right to grow up receiving his mother’s love too.”

After a moment, Demian spoke in a voice barely containing his anger.

“I told you. That woman is dead. Besides, she was just a common whore. I barely remember who she was.”

“Do you think I don’t know that woman accompanies you on every voyage you take under the pretense of adventure?”

Demian’s complexion turned pale as if shocked by those words.

Rodrigo continued with a contemptuous expression.

“Bring that woman to the Sanctuary.”

“…”

“What. Do you think I’ll be prejudiced just because she’s a barbarian from the Northern Region?”

Clang!

The fork fell from Demian’s hand.

“Bring her before I go fetch her myself.”

As if not seeing that shock at all, Rodrigo calmly cut his steak.

“If I find her first, I’ll cut off her limbs, pull out her tongue, and sell her as a slave to her own people.”

Then Demian screamed as if shrieking.

“Don’t lay a hand on that woman! She will never, absolutely never participate in the experiments!”

Dana immediately realized.

‘Demian isn’t one of them.’

Demian Windsor despises the Diana cult.

‘Is that why he ran away?’

Later, Demian Windsor’s whereabouts became unknown and he was declared dead.

He disappeared shortly after leaving all his wealth to his daughter Danae Windsor.

Did Demian escape from the Windsor Family? Or was he murdered?

“I can’t continue this disgusting meal any longer. Kill me or spare me, do as you please, Father!”

Demian kicked back his chair and ran out.

Irresponsibly, leaving only his son behind.

However, Viego seemed accustomed to his father and grandfather’s quarrels, continuing his meal with an expressionless face like a doll.

And the boy became Rodrigo’s next target.

“Viego. Why aren’t you eating meat? Don’t you like the meal?”

“…”

“Or are you still doing that vegetarianism thing or whatever?”

Dana was startled. Viego only eats vegetables? Even as a young child?

But she soon understood. There could be such a phase briefly in childhood. The adult Viego she met wasn’t particularly picky about food.

“That’s pork. Pigs are smelly, stupid creatures. Unlike those cute animals you’re so fond of, they’re also quite ugly. So it’s fine to eat them.”

“Pigs are…”

Viego finally opened his lips. He spoke clearly.

“Pigs have high intelligence.”

“What?”

“According to research, pigs have intelligence similar to three or four-year-old children. And most importantly, they think of humans as equals to themselves.”

“Ha…”

“And pigs are cute enough too.”

Veins bulged on Rodrigo’s neck.

“Eat the meat.”

“I refuse.”

“Eat it.”

“I refuse.”

“Eat—”

“I refuse.”

Finally, Rodrigo exploded at his much younger grandson.

“You brat, Viego Windsor! How dare you talk back!”

“Then I’ll just ignore you from now on.”

“How can you lead the Windsor Family being so weak! How dare you sympathize with mere animals?! Really, taking after your father—!”

That’s when it happened.

Bang! The door to the dining hall opened.

“You, damn, fraud.”

Dana almost jumped up from her seat in that instant.

“Fucking, bastard.”

Her mind went completely blank from shock.

“I’ll, kill, you.”

Disheveled red hair, wearing a white gown, a boy with beast-like eyes.

It was Ignis.

The boy staggered forward like an injured animal.

“I’ll kill you!”

Then Rodrigo burst into laughter as if pleased.

“Good spirit. Yes. That’s how a man should be. But you still lack refinement. You can’t hide lowly origins.”

He clicked his tongue while looking the boy up and down from head to toe, as if appraising an item.

“When we return to the Empire later, I’ll have to teach you etiquette and erase that vulgarity from your body first.”

“Don’t be ridiculous! Who would!”

Ignis rushed forward with bloodshot eyes and picked up a knife from the table.

“Die—!”

Thunk.

At that moment, a sword blade protruded through Ignis’s stomach. Dana covered her mouth in shock.

“Ugh…”

Thud, the boy collapsed to the floor.

The knight who had stabbed him bowed respectfully to Rodrigo.

“My apologies, Cult Leader.”

“How did you guard that he managed to escape?”

“Well, Karl Windsor broke down the laboratory door…”

“What? That lunatic again!”

“That’s not all. Karl Windsor infiltrated the underground laboratory and stole explosives…”

BOOM!

At that moment, a massive roar came from somewhere.

And screams heard from afar. The loud noise of buildings collapsing followed.

“…He said he wanted to test the performance…”

“…”

“It seems he’s testing them now.”

“…”

“I apologize.”

Rodrigo’s face turned pale.

He grabbed the back of his neck and staggered before slumping back into his chair.

And he began muttering to himself as if putting himself under hypnosis.

“It’s okay. It’s okay, Rodrigo. I have Dana. Even though all my descendants are complete failures and trash… I have Dana, who is a success…”

He was even tearing up and sobbing.

As expected, this person is really strange.

Dana pretended not to hear that disgusting nonsense and watched as the knight dragged Ignis away.

‘So Ignis was being experimented on during this time.’

Suddenly, anxiety and impatience washed over her. Her stomach burned with pain.

While staying here, wasn’t there something she could do for him? So that he wouldn’t die like that in the future—

“Sorry for showing you such an unseemly sight, Dana. Since your due date is approaching, you should be maintaining peace of mind and body.”

At those words, Dana stared at Rodrigo intently. Rodrigo seemed to have composed himself.

Rodrigo was a far more bizarre human being than she had thought.

Really, so many things were different.

Among them, the most different thing was.

‘That’s right, shouldn’t I be heavily pregnant right now?’

Dana looked down at her flat stomach.

Danawin was not pregnant.

She clearly knew that ‘Danawin’ was Lyos’s biological mother, and they were also treating Dana as a pregnant woman—

‘It doesn’t seem like they’re acting.’

In their eyes, Dana clearly appeared to be a heavily pregnant woman.

‘Did they all get caught under shamanism together? Everyone is seeing illusions together.’

Danawin was not pregnant.

Then, who on earth gave birth to Lyos?

Where did Lyos come from?
