Chapter 226

* * *

Karl Windsor had been captured.

“There, that bastard is my son Karl.”

Karl was imprisoned inside a glass prison with magic circles drawn on it.

Moreover, he was wrapped tightly in black cloth from head to toe, looking no different from a mummy. Not only his face, but not even a single strand of hair was visible.

Dana was bewildered. That mummy, no, that thing was Karl?

“Why is he like that? Is he injured somewhere?”

“As if that could be the case. That’s an ancient relic. It’s cloth that absorbs the strength of the entire body, used to subdue giants.”

“….”

“It would be troublesome if he escaped before being offered as a sacrifice, so we wrapped him up like that.”

At that moment.

“…!”

The black mummy’s—the thing presumed to be Karl’s—head slowly moved. Directly toward Dana, toward where she was standing.

Her spine went cold instantly. Dana unconsciously took a step back.

Right now, could he possibly be looking at me?

“Don’t worry. Inside this room is a prison.”

Rodrigo knocked on the glass wall with magic circles drawn on it and laughed.

“It’s blocked by magic, so he can’t see or hear outside. It’s a black prison where all senses are cut off.”

“A-are you sure?”

“Yes. Besides, his face is covered with the relic, so what could he possibly see.”

But no matter how I look at it, right now, that mummy, that thing seems to be staring right at me….

“Dana. Your decision to choose Karl as the sacrifice remains unchanged, right?”

“Ah, yes. That’s right.”

At that moment.

“Haha….”

A boy’s laughter was heard.

From beyond the glass wall, from beneath the black bandages.

“Hahaha.”

“….”

Silence fell.

Dana glared at Rodrigo with resentful eyes. She ground her teeth and whispered.

“Didn’t you say it was a prison where senses are cut off?”

“R-right. It’s a prison where senses are cut off.”

“But right now that boy is hearing everything and laughing at us.”

“No. It must be a coincidence. I told you he can’t hear?”

However.

“Ahahaha.”

At the laughter that grew louder like driving in a nail, Rodrigo hurriedly watched Dana’s reaction.

“Th-this is strange. This shouldn’t be happening? Is it broken?”

Broken my ass!

Dana was so angry she glared at Rodrigo as if she would kill him. Then he showed a frightened expression and quickly bowed his head.

Dana was so disgusted she couldn’t stand the sight and turned around sharply. Bewilderment and anger surged up.

‘What is this!’

Karl had heard.

The conversation about ‘Dana’ choosing him as a sacrifice—Karl had heard it all.

He would seek revenge. He would hate her. He would resent her.

If he found out that she was the one who threw him into the frozen lake—

Found out? So what would happen?

Dana shook her head and brushed away her emotions. She quickly caught hold of her wavering heart.

‘Get it together.’

Fine, let’s not worry about such trivial problems.

The frozen lake on June 5th that Justio had requested.

What she needed to focus on until then had already been decided.

‘Ignis. Let’s only focus on Ignis.’

Fortunately, when Ignis escaped, he had brought three small bomb orbs and one gun. They would surely help during the escape.

‘Where would be a good place to run away to.’

For the first few years or so, hiding and living alone with Ignis in a place like a mountain valley wouldn’t be bad.

After teaching Ignis proper etiquette and social skills….

‘Right. Let’s go back after that.’

Don’t forget the original purpose. Dana steeled her resolve.

Viego would also take care of himself and live well, so don’t worry about him. She had not even the slightest interest in that man’s affairs.

The moment she thought that.

“However, Viego also needs to become stronger.”

Suddenly, Rodrigo’s words flashed through her mind.

“If that boy doesn’t kill sheep and put it on the dining table, I’ll give him severe punishment.”

‘Wouldn’t it be good to at least give him a warning.’

It seemed she should at least tell him to put sheep on the estate’s dining table. Otherwise, Rodrigo said he would punish him.

‘Right, let’s just give him a warning.’

Right now Viego is still just a child.

She wandered around inside the Grand Cathedral for a while, but Viego was nowhere to be seen.

Then he must be at the sheep ranch.

On the forest path leading there, Dana encountered a familiar face.

It was Demian Windsor.

He was walking with large strides. His complexion was rigidly hardened, but when he belatedly discovered Dana, he stopped in shock.

His face looked like he was so shocked by something that he couldn’t sense her presence.

“…Where are you going.”

“To Viego.”

“It would be better if you didn’t go.”

“What?”

“I’ve given you advice.”

What does that mean?

However, there was no further explanation. Demian quickly passed by her as if running away.

What on earth did he see that shocked him?

‘What could be there?’

There should only be a small sheep ranch.

Somehow having an ominous premonition, Dana walked quickly.

On the green meadow, the sheep were bleating loudly and aggressively. Just as she was about to hurry past and head toward the barn visible in the distance.

Dana immediately hid behind a tree.

“….”

She now understood why Demian had fled like that.

‘Demian Windsor, that damn bastard….’

He just left after seeing that?

His own son tied to a pillar, covered in blood?

“Hey. How long do we have to wait?”

Two men were standing beside him.

“Wait. We need to drain more blood. He needs to shed his bad luck before we go. If we just take him like this, we’ll be cursed.”

Dana carefully stepped back while suppressing her presence.

‘Let’s go back.’

Don’t get involved.

Frankly speaking, she had no obligation to step forward and save a boy that even his own biological father had turned away from.

Right now, she did have a pistol. She felt like she could hit their heads if she fired….

The distance was far. She might miss.

In that case, she would be in danger.

‘Right, it’s dangerous.’

Besides, that boy was Viego Windsor.

Right now it was hard to believe that boy was Viego, but he was still Viego. She had no reason whatsoever to risk danger to save him.

‘Right. I’m not an idiot, so why should I? I’d rather go back and bring people instead.’

But by then, Viego would be taken away. He’d suffer quite badly. He’d probably become a test subject.

That wasn’t her concern.

Dana turned away from the boy, just as his father had done.

At that moment, it seemed like her eyes met the boy’s.
