Chapter 223

“I’m talking about the meat that was on your plate. That was Ren.”

What?

Dana was so shocked that she almost dropped her glass.

Rodrigo smiled brightly.

“How was it, Viego? Did Ren taste good?”

It took several seconds before he seemed to understand those words.

Viego hurriedly clamped his mouth shut. It seemed like nausea was rising, but.

“Endure it.”

Rodrigo commanded sharply like a whip.

“If you vomit, I’ll slaughter another sheep for you to eat.”

At those words, Viego’s hand covering his mouth trembled. Even though his face turned deathly pale, he endured it.

Rodrigo smiled contentedly and gave a speech.

“Listen well. Beasts are beasts. And you are a predator that devours beasts.”

“….”

“Do you understand? Don’t give your heart to such weak things. Such emotions will eat away at you and make you weak.”

This bastard….

Dana bit the inside of her mouth. The scene before her eyes was so cruel that her stomach felt like it was turning.

Perhaps that’s why. Suddenly heat rushed to her head. It became hot, then dazed, then hot again.

When she came to her senses, Dana was throwing her glass at Rodrigo.

However, Rodrigo swiftly caught the glass flying toward him. A beat later, he realized Dana had thrown it at him and tilted his head.

“Huh?”

Huh, my ass!

Dana poured whiskey at his shameless face.

Splash! His face became soaked with whiskey.

“You piece of trash. You’re worse than vermin!”

“But, that’s….”

Then, as if shocked, Rodrigo’s lips trembled.

“Why are you getting angry?”

“You call that speaking, you trash!”

Not only Viego but even Demian looked at her in stunned amazement.

Seeing Demian made her even more furious.

Your son is being treated like this and you’re just watching?

No, abandoning your son in a place like this and trying to run away alone!

Then Rodrigo made a tearful face as if he felt very wronged.

“I was merely trying to discipline my weak grandson.”

“You’re the one who needs discipline!”

Smack! Smack!

Dana rushed toward him and struck Rodrigo wildly with her hands. Then Rodrigo covered his head and curled up into a ball.

“Stop it, Dana! What if you hurt your hands doing that! Hit me with this instead!”

He hurriedly pulled off the golden belt around his waist and handed it to her.

As if I can’t hit you!

Dana mercilessly struck him with that belt. Rodrigo cried out as if he was truly in pain.

“Ack! Ack!”

Rage, no, resentment beyond rage dominated her mind.

It’s because of this man.

It’s all because of this man.

This man is the source of all evil.

This man ruined Ignis’s life. Viego also grew up cold-blooded because of this demon.

Because of Rodrigo Windsor, this demon!

“Cult Leader!”

Hearing the commotion, knights came running.

“What are you doing!”

Rough hands forcibly grabbed Dana. When she involuntarily let out a groan from that strong grip.

“Let go of those hands!”

Rodrigo shouted with bulging eyes.

“If you leave even one scratch on Dana’s body, I won’t forgive you!”

The knights were startled and removed their hands from her body.

Dana was equally surprised. Rodrigo shouted.

“Get out right now, right now!”

Only then.

Only after seeing the dining hall that had become a complete mess.

Dana realized she was completely drunk. In her tense state, she had drunk too quickly.

That’s why she couldn’t contain her disgust and anger toward him.

She should have endured it….

‘No. Get it together.’

She steadied her breathing. When she regained her reason like that, only Rodrigo and she remained in the dining hall.

Rodrigo had sent everyone away.

“Dana.”

With his disheveled appearance from being beaten by her, he spoke very seriously.

“You are beautiful.”

“What?”

“To be so angry for my grandson’s sake. You are good. And what is good is beautiful.”

What is he saying….

Is he being sarcastic? But Rodrigo was serious to the point of solemnity.

“You may be that beautiful. But Viego, we cannot be like that.”

“What are you talking about?”

“There was a prophecy long ago.”

Rodrigo spoke calmly.

Speaking of the prophecy that Ramun’s blessing would end and the Corrupted Land would begin, he continued.

“Soon the land will begin to rot. And our Windsor Family has been preparing for that disaster for over 200 years.”

Ah, so he’s trying to make excuses for himself after all.

Dana snorted and spoke sarcastically.

“Well. I don’t know. Maybe the gods abandoned this world in anger because you conducted such experiments.”

Silence fell.

Rodrigo stared intently at her eyes without saying anything. Then he smiled and asked.

“How do you know what experiments we conduct? I haven’t told you yet.”

Ah.

Right.

To make such a mistake, she must still be somewhat drunk. However, Dana didn’t change her expression one bit and shot back.

“This morning a red-haired child caused a disturbance.”

Right, Ignis had done that. Using that, Dana pretended to have guessed about the experiments and criticized them.

“Experiments involving village children couldn’t be normal, could they? They’re definitely immoral and inhumane. Maybe the gods abandoned you because you conduct such wicked experiments?”

Perhaps he couldn’t deny it. The suspicion disappeared from Rodrigo’s eyes.

“Yes. That could be.”

And he readily admitted it.

“But whether the chicken or the egg came first, what does that matter? Whatever the cause, the Sun God has abandoned us.”

Rodrigo said while combing his disheveled hair with his fingers.

“Already, signs of the land rotting are appearing across the Continent.”

“….”

“To prevent corruption, purification ability is needed. To create purification ability, all sorts of inhumane experiments must be conducted.”

He picked up the belt that had fallen to the ground and tied it around his waist again.

“Someone must dirty their hands with blood to do it.”

And he straightened out his wrinkled collar, tidying it up.

“If that is evil, then evil is my destiny. I do not run away from my destiny.”

By then, Dana had completely calmed down. The effects of alcohol had completely disappeared too.

For the first time, she spoke to him with sincerity.

“I’m here now. Since the experiment succeeded, couldn’t you stop it?”

“What if you suddenly die one day? What if your ability suddenly disappears one day? We must assume the worst-case scenario. The experiments must continue.”

As expected, there was no getting through to him.

Of course there wouldn’t be.

He had conviction, and he was someone who had devoted his entire life to that conviction.

At that moment, Dana made a firm decision.

‘I have to kill this man.’

While in this time, she must kill this man and return.

Absolutely. By any means necessary.

She would blow Rodrigo Windsor’s head to smithereens.

‘I can do it.’

She had already blown Ignis’s head off and killed him once. There was no reason she couldn’t kill Rodrigo.

Then, who knows. The future might have changed. Ignis might be alive.

To do that….

“I see.”

She had to make him let his guard down. She had to appear gentle and harmless. Just as she had with Ignis.

“Do you understand?”

“I’m not sure. But tormenting Viego like that isn’t right.”

“Yes. You really are kind-hearted.”

Rodrigo smiled broadly. Ironically, he seemed to really like that aspect of her.

“Dana. In a few days, on June 5th, there will be a very important ceremony.”

He suddenly changed the subject.

“200 years ago. An ancestor of the Windsor Family became a sacrifice himself and prayed for peace on the Continent. Following our ancestor’s will, I plan to throw one of the Windsor Family’s sons into the Frozen Lake as an offering to Lady Diana.”

“….”

“Demian, Karl, and Viego. I plan to sacrifice one of the three.”

What?

Dana looked at him with an expressionless face. What did she just hear?

Rodrigo spoke with a completely calm expression.

“I’d like you to choose. Who do you think would be good to sacrifice?”

Once again, she came to realize.

This bastard is completely insane.

“I think Viego would be suitable.”

He casually chose his grandson.

“Demian is currently the duke of the Windsor Family. There’s no one who can replace the dukedom right now. Karl is still fourteen, too young.”

He clicked his tongue.

“That Karl bastard is a bit mentally strange, but his abilities are outstanding. But Viego.”

He sighed as if just thinking about it was frustrating.

“Too weak.”

“….”

“If Viego doesn’t hunt a sheep himself and put it on the dining table by tomorrow evening, I plan to sacrifice him. What do you think?”

Though he was asking, it wasn’t really a question.

Rodrigo had already decided.
