Chapter 230

 

 

 

 

* * *

 

Lyos’s hair was a dazzling golden color.

Even his eyes were an incomparably clear blue.

They weren’t the black she had known.

‘Why…’

Dana tried to open her mouth, but her lips wouldn’t move. She couldn’t make a sound or even blink her eyes.

Dana was flustered. Why couldn’t she move her body?

When she was Danawin, and when she was the child Danayu, she had been able to move her body as she wished.

Now she couldn’t do anything. She could only watch from within.

‘Ah, could it be…’

This moment right now was the first timeline.

It wasn’t the timeline she was living in.

The first timeline had already ended, a timeline that had met its doom.

However, Danawin and young Danayu that she had possessed were from her current timeline.

A timeline that hadn’t ended yet.

The same life, the same timeline where she had simply moved to the past.

That wasn’t all.

Danawin and young Danayu. Those bodies had been empty shell dolls.

But this body now already had a soul dwelling within it. In other words, there was a soul occupying the driver’s seat.

‘So in this timeline, I can’t do anything but watch.’

Then, let’s watch.

Let’s hold our breath and watch like a spectator.

Not only Lyos of this moment, but also herself of this moment.

Then slowly, the thoughts and consciousness of this soul began to be absorbed.

‘My name right now is… Danae Grants.’

Danae Grants.

She was an imperial princess of the Empire.

The only imperial princess of the Grants Imperial Family.

‘In the first timeline, I was adopted into the Imperial Family.’

The first timeline.

‘Danae’ was registered not in the Windsor Family but in the Imperial Family’s records.

She, ‘Danae’, had originally lived in the Sanctuary.

Her adoption into the Imperial Family was seven years ago from now—when she was sixteen.

Gradually absorbing the thoughts of Danae Grants that came flooding in, Dana watched the scene before her eyes.

“But where are you returning from?”

The blonde Lyos.

He was once again the Crown Prince of this Empire, and Danae Grants’ younger brother.

“That place is a palace where few people go.”

‘Danae Grants’ looked up at him while being held in Lyos’s arms. Lyos was smiling gently.

“What business could you have had in such a place.”

It was a pointed remark.

‘Danae Grants’ playfully winked.

“Curious? Shall I tell you?”

“It’s fine. You don’t need to tell me, I already know.”

“How?”

“Sister, you smell like a man.”

Lyos politely advised.

“Please, I hope it’s not an employee of the palace. There is such a thing as the dignity of royalty.”

Lyos was consistently polite and courteous.

He had been so since their first meeting seven years ago.

He had never once pointed fingers at Danae Grants for being adopted, and had always treated her respectfully and kindly.

Like this, even when caught having a secret meeting with a man—

“You must exercise restraint, Sister.”

In this way, he only gave courteous advice.

However, she—’Danae Grants’—

Hated her younger brother, Lyos, very much.

“Don’t worry. I haven’t forgotten.”

Of course, she didn’t show any sign of her dislike.

“How could I forget your advice?”

Danae Grants leaned her face against Lyos’s chest. And smiled mysteriously.

“And the man I met this time is Justin Lancaster.”

“Justin Lancaster? You don’t mean the youngest son of the Lancaster family, do you?”

“Yes. Would that be enough to maintain the Imperial Family’s dignity?”

Lyos’s eyebrows hardened.

“Lancaster has only just come of age.”

“I know. Still, isn’t he better than a palace employee?”

“Sister, why with such a young boy.”

“Young boy? He’s an adult, so we should treat him as one.”

Danae smiled brightly and reached out her hand. She brushed back Lyos’s bangs.

“I thought he was around the same age as you, Lyos. Wasn’t he?”

“No.”

“Put me down.”

“Pardon?”

“Being carried is a bit uncomfortable. I think I can walk on my own, will you put me down?”

“…”

Lyos quietly gazed at her, then slowly set her down.

As soon as Danae stood on her own feet, she lightly grabbed her skirt hem and lifted it.

“I’m sorry for being such an inadequate sister. I’ll try to maintain more dignity from now on, Lyos.”

Then she turned around sharply and walked away limping.

Lyos silently watched her retreating figure.

With her shoes in one hand.

 

* * *

 

She from the first timeline. ‘Danae Grants’ was a woman whose emotions were very unstable.

On the surface, she always smiled warmly, but her heart was full of anxiety and unease.

She was always anxious. She had no choice but to be.

A few years ago, ‘Danae Grants’ had fallen into this world.

Originally her name was Yeon Dana, and she had been living in a different world from this place.

One day she suddenly opened her eyes in ‘Danae’s’ body.

 

“Don’t worry. You just need to trust me.”

 

At that time, the first person to approach her was a very beautiful man named Rodrigo.

 

“I will help you adapt to this world.”

 

Danae trusted and followed him, Rodrigo.

A strange world, a strange environment. He was the first person to approach her.

For several months like that, she lived in the Sanctuary relying on Rodrigo. While serving Diana, the Moon God.

Danae thought.

‘Although the worship was a bit suspicious…’

When she performed the worship rituals, lust would rise up, but she accepted it thinking that religion in this world must be different.

One day, while she was slowly adapting to life in the Sanctuary like that.

War broke out.

Was it Viego Windsor?

Rodrigo’s grandson—he betrayed the Diana Church and attacked the Sanctuary.

Just thinking about it made Danae Grants burst with anger.

‘That bad guy. How could he betray his own grandfather?’

It wasn’t something Viego Windsor did alone.

He joined hands with the Pope of the Ramun Church, Justio.

Taking advantage of the opening when Viego broke the Sanctuary’s barrier, Pope Justio invaded with his Holy Knights.

And Emperor Wilhelm of the Empire provided military support.

‘How cowardly. The Imperial Palace and Papal Court attacking simultaneously.’

Justio was originally both a Prince and a Cardinal.

But from the moment he became Pope, the first thing he prepared was a plan to exterminate the Diana Church.

With Viego’s cooperation, Pope Justio completely destroyed the Diana Church like exterminating cockroaches.

Thus, the Diana Church completely collapsed.

And the island that lost its master—the Sanctuary’s control was fairly divided between the Papal Court and the Imperial Palace.

‘Viego Windsor. A man without loyalty.’

Though there were said to be other men in the Windsor Family besides Viego, none helped Rodrigo defend the Sanctuary.

As if they all wished with one heart for the Diana Church to perish.

The Diana Church disappeared into history like that.

‘Poor Lord Rodrigo.’

Is he still alive? Did he escape safely?

When she closes her eyes, the last scene is vivid.

 

“Dana! Run away quickly, quickly!”

 

Rodrigo, who tried to save her somehow.

 

“Were you here, Grandfather?”

 

And the man called Viego who appeared behind such a Rodrigo.

‘Cold-blooded, trash, traitor…’

In the end, Rodrigo was dragged away by the Holy Knights.

Seeing her left alone and trembling, Emperor Wilhelm of the Empire declared.

 

“This girl is innocent. I shall take her in.”

 

Thus the Emperor adopted her.

‘Damn Emperor. He’s treating me like a war trophy.’

The Emperor adopted Dana as a trophy for destroying the Sanctuary and the Diana Church.

Seven years have passed since then.

Danae received good treatment as a Princess, but the anxiety in her heart did not disappear.

In this strange world—especially in the Imperial Palace, she couldn’t open her heart to anyone, and couldn’t trust anyone.

Terrible anxiety and loneliness ate away at her heart.

When her heart was unbearably painful, she would perform the worship she learned in the Sanctuary alone.

At such times, lust would boil up…

At some point, Danae began to release that lust.

‘The only thing I can do as I please is my own body.’

Loneliness. Anxiety. Solitude. Restlessness.

When she surrendered her body to pleasure, she could forget it all.

Danae liked those moments. So she enjoyed them, was absorbed in them, and living like that—

‘I came to be despised by Lyos.’

A crooked smile formed.

What would His Noble Highness the Crown Prince know?

Lyos was the only son the Emperor obtained with great difficulty.

She heard that the Emperor received help from the Diana Church to cure his infertility.

‘Even after receiving such help, he betrayed the Diana Church. A man who doesn’t know gratitude.’

The Emperor, who cured his infertility, miraculously obtained a son.

‘That’s why despite being illegitimate, he put him in the Imperial genealogy, elevated him to Crown Prince, and treasures him like a jewel.’

She heard the Emperor enjoyed one night with some promiscuous noble woman—and Lyos was conceived in that one night.

Since he was his only son, the Emperor brought Lyos into the Imperial Palace without caring about appearances or anything.

And he gave that noble woman an enormous compensation, they say.

She even heard it was a woman with a family, and that woman’s name was…

What was it.

‘Anyway, the Emperor treasures Lyos dearly. He practically treats him like a treasure, doesn’t he?’

The Emperor even plans to abdicate the throne to Lyos soon.

In one week, Lyos’s coronation ceremony will be held.

Everyone anticipated and praised Lyos, who would become the new Emperor. They chattered that he would become a righteous and virtuous wise ruler.

It was understandable.

Lyos was accomplished in both civil and military affairs, avoided luxury, and was a Crown Prince who lived a boringly upright life.

He didn’t drink, smoke, or even get close to women, so he was nicknamed a monk in some circles.

The more she thought about it, the more displeased Danae became.

‘Would a perfect Crown Prince like you understand my heart?’

Yet with that lofty and courteous face, he puts on airs saying ‘Please don’t abandon your dignity, Sister,’ ‘Please maintain your dignity.’

Danae terribly disliked such a Lyos.

‘I’m about to marry a man I don’t even want.’

Viego Windsor.

Danae Grants was being forced by the Emperor into marriage with that ultimate traitor.
