Chapter 229

 

 

 

 

* * *

 

Afterward, the boy took Dana and fled somewhere. It was a deep mountain cabin.

“Oh my.”

By the time they arrived, Dana was barely conscious.

Ever since being grazed by the snake fangs, some burning power seemed to be scorching even her soul.

It was agonizing.

“What should I do? You’re going to die soon, aren’t you?”

The boy examined her condition and let out a sigh.

“This won’t do. I’ll try absorbing it. That might make you feel better.”

“Ugh, it hurts, it hurts.”

“Does it hurt a lot? Just bear with it a little. Okay?”

The boy pulled her into a tight embrace. Then the heat seemed to cool where their bodies touched.

The sensation of poison gradually leaving her body.

Finally feeling like she might live, Dana let out shallow breaths.

“Do you feel a bit better?”

Dana was too weak to speak, so she breathed out a small “yes” like a sigh and buried her face in the boy’s chest.

“Cute. You’re like a sick chick.”

The boy was absorbing the deadly poison.

But wouldn’t that make Karl hurt just as much?

‘Besides, he was hurt much worse than me.’

She had only been grazed on the back of her hand—but Karl’s shoulder had been completely pierced by the snake.

He must have been tainted by an even more vicious power.

And he had been bitten while trying to protect her…

‘Because of me…’

Like fog gradually lifting, realization washed over her.

I see.

I’m the one who made this person suffer.

He fell into the lake because of me, and was tainted by demonic power because of me.

She had heard that his body was gradually crumbling from that immense power. It didn’t show on the outside at all, so it was hard to believe.

She had heard that Karl was dying…

‘It was all because of me from the beginning.’

Tears welled up in her eyes.

Then the boy asked worriedly.

“Why are you crying? Does it still hurt a lot?”

“Yes…”

“You shouldn’t be in pain. Though you’re cute even when you’re hurting.”

“Don’t call me cute.”

“Hm? But I’ve never seen such a cute creature in my life.”

“I’m Dana…”

“Hm?”

“I’m Dana.”

Mumbling, Dana held onto her fading consciousness and worked her short tongue earnestly.

“The person who chose you as a sacrifice to throw into the frozen lake. That was me.”

“Hm? I know.”

“What?”

“I saw you choose me as a sacrifice back then. You’re that incredibly cute woman, right? The one who was outside the prison with your father.”

Her consciousness, which had been growing dim, suddenly became clear from shock.

Incredibly cute woman?

Was he talking about Danawin now?

‘But Danawin is at least ten years older than Karl now?’

He would call a woman that much older cute?

Uncertain, Dana asked again.

“You mean… the pregnant woman, right?”

“No, she’s not.”

“What?”

“She’s not pregnant.”

Karl snorted as if displeased.

“That’s mind control.”

“Wh-who did it?”

“Well. Probably from up there?”

Karl pointed his finger toward the sky. Then he smiled mischievously.

“Actually, I almost got caught by it too, but I stayed alert and avoided it.”

Dana was so surprised she was speechless.

Mind control?

Even Dana could tell that body wasn’t pregnant. Everyone treated her like a pregnant woman, which was very strange…

‘So it really wasn’t true.’

As Karl said, someone had used mind control.

On groups, on masses, on this entire world…

Thinking this, her head seemed to freeze cold. Was it possible to mind control an entire world collectively?

Who on earth could do such a thing?

From above, who?

“They even cast a curse.”

At Karl’s words, Dana swallowed. An ominous premonition rolled in like fog.

“A curse?”

“Yeah. A really scary curse. They cursed very dramatically, but no one could feel it. The sky darkened and thunder and lightning struck.”

But no one knew, Karl said, laughing as he held her tight and absorbed the deadly poison.

“Want to hear it?”

Did she want to hear it?

No, she had to hear it.

“Yes.”

When she nodded, Karl opened his lips without hesitation.

And spoke.

“Betrayer.”

At the curse that followed, Dana held her breath.

Betrayer, you shall never be conceived again and shall be born from ashes.

You shall never know your primordial mother.

You shall suffer eternal persecution from your father.

Your beloved woman shall disguise herself as your mother, wear your sister’s shell, and put on your child’s mask.

You are a living original sin.

All timelines where the sun’s authority exists.

Until the final timeline where the sun’s authority disappears.

You shall receive condemnation from all things in heaven and earth.

“Scary, isn’t it.”

I heard that voice from the sky. Karl added.

Dana grabbed Karl’s collar. Her heart was pounding.

‘This curse is….’

The Sun God.

This was unmistakably a curse from Sun God Ramun, no matter who heard it.

And the target of the curse was….

‘Lyos.’

Lyos.

He had received the Sun God’s curse.

Why?

The only member of the Imperial Family who didn’t receive the Sun God’s blessing. I thought the Sun God’s blessing had simply ended with his generation.

Wasn’t it just that the blessing had been cut off?

He even received the Sun God’s curse?

Dana barely managed to squeeze out her voice.

“Did you say…traitor?”

“Yeah. It started with ‘Traitor…’.”

Traitor?

Then, does that mean Lyos had done something to betray the Sun God?

‘What could that be?’

Dana gathered all her strength to summon rational thought. And tried to make a judgment.

“All timelines where the sun’s authority exists, until the final timeline where the sun’s authority disappears.”

As Dana recited that sentence, she caught a strange word.

Timeline…?

‘Ah.’

Why hadn’t she thought of that?

Dana knew. No, she was experiencing it.

A life that repeated multiple times.

She knew that timelines were repeating. Wasn’t she also living through multiple timelines?

‘And the fact that such a curse was cast this time….’

It meant Lyos had already committed something curse-worthy before.

Perhaps not in this timeline, but in a past timeline.

‘Could it be that Lyos did something deserving of a curse in a past life?’

What could it be?

What on earth did he do to receive such a curse?

Her head was spinning.

The sins Lyos committed.

There weren’t just one or two.

Lyos had committed evil sins.

In the past timeline, he ruined the marriage with Lumiere, set fire to the estate and killed Lumiere, kidnapped her and did all sorts of cruel….

‘No. It’s not such worldly matters.’

There were countless members of the Imperial Family who had committed worldly sins.

However, none of them had been cursed.

There was the expression “traitor.”

Lyos had betrayed the Sun God. That’s why he received the curse.

What could that be?

Her heart was pounding.

‘I need to see.’

I need to confirm whether this hypothesis is real.

I need to see what on earth that madman did to receive the Sun God’s curse.

Because instinct was telling her.

That it was related to her- to ‘Dana’.

But would it be possible?

I’m already in the past of this timeline, so would it be possible to move to another timeline from here?

Like a dream within a dream, I’d have to dig deeper and deeper inside.

‘It seems possible….’

The demonic power that Karl was absorbing.

That power was too immense for a frail child’s body to endure, as if his life would be cut short at any moment.

But demonic power had always served as a powerful driving force for Divine Sight and Purification.

‘It’s possible. I can go see.’

But it’s dangerous.

If the Holy Magic that Justio cast goes wrong, there’s no telling what might happen.

Perhaps something very serious might occur.

‘For now, this body will definitely die.’

Conflicted, Dana squeezed her eyes shut. It didn’t matter if this body died. However, there was only one thing weighing on her mind.

Ignis.

Only that boy who would be waiting in the room.

‘It’s okay. I can come back. In the worst case, I’ll just return to reality.’

Then I can threaten Justio or do whatever it takes to ask for his cooperation and have him cast Holy Magic again.

I can go back to the past and keep the promise I made with Ignis then. So….

‘Let’s go.’

Dana decided.

Let’s go, to the beginning.

To the very first timeline.

To the very first life.

“…What are you doing?”

As her consciousness grew faint, she heard the boy’s cold laughter.

“Where are you trying to go? You can’t go.”

What.

How did he know?

“I said you can’t go.”

Scary!

 

* * *

 

However, fortunately, Dana was able to go.

“Are you alright?”

Dana opened her eyes.

“Sister. Please get up.”

She looked up blankly.

A man with the dazzling sun behind him.

It was Lyos.

Above the Green Garden. He was extending his hand toward her as she lay fallen.

“To fall again like this, being so clumsy.”

The next moment, Dana’s mouth moved on its own.

“Don’t scold me too much. You’d think differently if you tried wearing these shoes.”

Dana grumbled as she grabbed the hand extended to her and got up from the garden. Then she grimaced.

She had sprained her ankle.

“Please give me your shoes.”

“Huh?”

“Your shoes, I’ll carry them for you.”

“Then what should I wear on my feet?”

“I could carry you in my arms, couldn’t I?”

He—Lyos—smiled and stretched out his arms.

Dana smiled back and willingly nestled into his embrace.

“Yes, please do that.”

However, Dana watching from within felt her mind going blank.

Why is Lyos calling me sister?

And most surprising of all was his appearance.

“Thank you.”

Dana, held in Lyos’s arms, stroked his head.

“My adorable Younger Brother.”

Lyos’s hair that she caressed was dazzling.

Shining brilliantly with Ramun’s blessing.

It was the golden light of the sun.
