Chapter 240

* * *

That woman again.

Viego Windsor, who had been walking down the corridor of the Grand Cathedral, stopped in his tracks. And he suppressed the rising displeasure.

“Hello. Viego.”

“….”

A woman with a gentle appearance was approaching, her long pure white hair flowing down.

The woman he encountered every time he came to the Sanctuary.

Danawin Windsor—the lady of the Windsor Family approached him with a bright white smile.

“It’s been a while. You’ve grown so much taller.”

She approached smoothly like flowing water and stood before him.

“Every time I see you, you seem to have grown taller. How tall will you get?”

Well, it’s because my growth period isn’t over yet. Though he muttered inwardly, Viego didn’t bother to answer that way.

Seventeen-year-old Viego was already taller than most tall men, but he was still growing rapidly.

As if this was fascinating, Dana came very close and looked up at him.

“I think Viego was probably tall even as a child.”

“….”

“How was it? I’m curious.”

How was it? I was very small.

There was once a time when I was so small I could barely reach that woman’s waist….

The woman didn’t remember.

Seven-year-old Viego. The fairy tales she read to him, everything.

She remembered nothing.

Instead of telling her about those times, Viego removed his military cap and bowed briefly. It was a ceremonial greeting.

But even that seemed pleasant to her, as Dana smiled brightly.

“I’m glad to see you too.”

I didn’t say I was glad to see you.

Viego looked at the woman without saying anything.

Ten years ago.

In the attack by the Radicals, Dana threw herself to save him. After that, she fell into a comatose state but fortunately opened her eyes not long after.

And then she lost her memory, they said.

Most people think it was due to the aftermath of the accident, but that’s not true.

Viego knows the truth.

Because he overheard it.

“We must make sure she can never escape again.”

That day’s conversation.

“It would be better to extremely lower Dana’s intelligence.”

That day, the meeting between Grandfather Rodrigo and the researchers.

“Do you mean to make her like a child?”

“No. That’s not enough. Even with a child’s mental state, she could still escape! We must make sure she can never escape again!”

Young Viego held his breath and ended up hearing all of that vile conspiracy.

“It’s fortunate that Demian changed his mind and brought Dana back to us! If she had disappeared like that— I don’t even want to imagine!”

That voice mixed with fear.

“Anyway, making her an idiot won’t work either. When the continent becomes corrupted in the future, she’ll need to embark on a purification journey. At least outwardly, she must appear normal.”

“Then.”

“We’ll make it so she can’t make any decisions on her own.”

And Rodrigo’s voice contained cruel delight.

“We’ll make her into a woman who listens well to others, a gentle and meek woman. A woman who can never refuse anything.”

Then she won’t even dream of escaping. Rodrigo added ominously.

And ten years from then.

That woman really lived that way.

As a woman who didn’t know how to refuse. As Rodrigo’s completed work.

At least that was her state when he last saw her….

He suddenly became curious. Would she still do anything she was told to do?

Confirming it was very easy.

Viego removed the badge from his military uniform and dropped it on the floor with a thud. It rolled away.

“Pick it up.”

“Okay.”

“Crawling.”

“Okay.”

“With your mouth.”

“Okay.”

Dana got down on the floor and crawled forward. Viego watched the back of the woman crawling like a dog with his arms crossed.

Dana fumbled around the floor with her mouth to pick up his badge, then crawled back toward him.

And stopped in front of him.

“….”

Viego looked down at Dana diagonally and held out his palm in front of her mouth. Then Dana gently spat the badge onto his palm.

Viego took the badge and attached it back to the pocket on his chest.

The woman’s condition was certain with this. Still, she would do anything she was told.

Suddenly his throat tightened and he swallowed. His Adam’s apple bobbed once greatly.

After calming his mind, Viego spoke in a very low voice.

“Your bedroom, is it the same?”

“Yes, it’s the same.”

“I’ll visit you at dawn, so don’t sleep and wait.”

“I understand.”

He walked past her. Walking with heavy military boots, he thought.

This coming dawn.

He intended to end this tiresome cycle of anguish.

* * *

“Come in. Viego. My proud grandson.”

Rodrigo welcomed Viego warmly.

“So. I heard you graduated early from the Military Academy and enlisted this time?”

“Yes.”

“Excellent!”

Rodrigo was genuinely pleased.

Viego Windsor, his grandson had grown remarkably. It wasn’t just his tall, handsome appearance.

‘I once thought he was a weak-hearted fool.’

After the attack 10 years ago, Viego had changed.

No— to be precise, after he overheard the conversation about the plan to lower Dana’s intelligence.

After that, Viego had completely transformed. Like a different person.

‘He realized that I could make him like that too.’

He had clearly developed respect and fear for this grandfather. Or perhaps he felt awe for the Diana Church’s experiments with such capabilities.

Whatever the reason, it didn’t matter.

Viego had transformed into an excellent grandson who pleased him greatly. And now, Viego was steadily preparing to inherit the Diana Church.

‘Finally, a proper successor has appeared!’

He looked at Viego in his army dress uniform. He felt proud.

“For a man of the Windsor Family, military experience is essential. You can stay in the military for a few years, then retire when you take the position of Family Head later.”

“Yes.”

“Windsor was originally a military family. So don’t forget to faithfully build your military career.”

“Yes.”

“And… don’t get too close to that bastard Karl.”

Karl Windsor seemed to fit well with military life, unexpectedly serving as a soldier faithfully.

And now he had risen to the position of youngest army commander, accumulating numerous military achievements, but Rodrigo still found him distasteful.

“How about Noah? Is he six years old now?”

“Yes.”

“I see. That bastard Demian seems to be quite compatible with your birth mother.”

Rodrigo spoke sarcastically.

Despite being completely smitten with Danawin, Demian was still meeting with Viego’s birth mother.

They even seemed to get along well, as that woman had given birth to another son.

“He must have come with you this time. Where is that bastard Demian?”

Viego lowered his eyes.

“He probably went to that woman.”

Rodrigo frowned.

There were exactly two things that Viego, who now listened very well, still stubbornly refused to do.

One. He still would never kill or eat sheep.

And two. He would never call Danawin mother.

He absolutely would not back down on these things.
