Chapter 248

“But I’ll give you a chance.”

“….”

“The navigation chart to the Sanctuary, won’t you hand over that relic to me?”

Demian gritted his teeth.

10 years ago. Karl, who had set fire to the Holy Land’s Port, was completely banished and could never enter again.

Afterwards, Father had made countless efforts to eliminate Karl, but never once succeeded.

Perhaps he knew this day would come.

“What are you doing all this for?”

“Well….”

Karl tilted his head.

“I don’t know exactly what I want either, but I have to do something about it, don’t I?”

“What?”

“That specter in the Frozen Lake.”

That specter?

“We looked at it together when we were children.”

Demian realized.

Dana’s real body.

He was talking about Yeon Dana.

“Isn’t it unpleasant? Lying under the lake for 200 years, manipulating us like this. Like a curse passed down through generations of the family….”

Karl seemed unable to tolerate even the potential possibility.

Demian was utterly disgusted.

Karl had been like that since childhood. Since childhood, he never listened to others. He didn’t follow laws either. He didn’t obey orders either.

It was his nature. Selfish, self-centered, knowing only himself, never bowing or yielding to anyone.

Father used to say about such a Karl, ‘Something very strange has been born.’

Because Karl was like that, did it bother him that something existed in this world that could control him?

“What are you, cough, trying to do.”

“I have to end it. Whether by completely destroying it, killing it, or by some other means.”

Demian couldn’t believe it.

Karl was thinking of taking Yeon Dana’s body out of the lake.

That was something that must not be done.

Because, that was.

“Yeon Dana’s body is… the most important seal containing the seven-headed serpent….”

Even as he spoke, guilt washed over him.

Her body had truly been useful.

Yeon Dana had become holy water, had become a sacrifice, had become material―

Had become the cornerstone of the most important seal.

The moment she was taken out, the seven-headed serpent’s seal would be completely broken, and that enormous unknown thing would rise to the surface.

Truly, this world would become demon land.

“If you take Yeon Dana out of the lake and destroy her, Dana will die too, and all of us, everyone will die!”

“Are there any humans in this world who don’t die?”

Karl, seemingly growing tired of the conversation, pointed his gun again.

“Until that day comes, shouldn’t we live according to our own beliefs? I’ve decided to live this way, so hand over the navigation chart.”

“Even if you kill me, you can’t get the navigation chart.”

Demian laughed loudly.

“All my assets, including the navigation chart, are set to go to Danawin if I die, and to Danae if Danawin dies!”

His assets were in Windsor Bank. The most secret vault. There they were protected by ancient, complex, and demanding high-level shamanism.

“You could probably break through that shamanism. But then thousands of curses would rebound on you!”

“…Is that so.”

Karl frowned and smiled as if troubled. He too knew that was a very troublesome obstacle.

“Then I’ll have to think of something. A way for that child’s assets to come to me….”

At that moment, Demian knew. Naturally, he came to know.

That Karl was going to kill him.

That he never intended to let him live from the beginning.

‘Ah, this is it.’

Pure white realization washed over him.

Now.

Now was exactly that moment.

10 years ago. The time that little Dana had cheerfully prophesied.

“You won’t live long!”

You were right after all.

Demian laughed. Thinking it was the end, only laughter came out.

“Shall I make a prophecy? Karl Windsor.”

“What is it.”

“You too will eventually come to love that woman.”

“Aha.”

“But you will never receive that woman’s love, and you will die miserably under that woman’s curse! Just like me!”

“What an excellent prophecy.”

Karl laughed lightly.

“You do know that was your last words, right?”

Bang!

The gunshot echoed through the forest. Watching the startled birds fly away, Karl sighed.

“Father and son both cursing me.”

Grumbling, Karl Windsor stood up.

“Commander, sir!”

Karl turned around.

Soldiers were approaching. Those who had completely swept the Barbarian Criminal Den under his command.

“Sir. We have completed all your orders. However, what should we do with the livestock at the sheep ranch….”

Letting the boring report go in one ear and out the other, Karl thought.

How should he get his hands on her assets?

Breaking through that meticulous ancient shamanism was possible, but the aftermath would be very difficult to handle.

In the end, the only way to get those assets was….

‘Using the guardianship system, I suppose.’

Karl holstered his gun at his waist and smiled brightly. Very kindly.

Then he saw his subordinate startle and freeze in surprise.

“S-sir?”

“How is it? Do I look like a good uncle?”

“Y-yes! You look like a good uncle!”

“That’s fortunate. Oh, and leave the sheep alone. What crime could beasts have committed.”

Giving orders, Karl strode forward. His mind worked quickly.

“I’m scared.”

She cried saying I was scary.

I should quit being a soldier so that kid won’t be afraid of me anymore. That kid seems to be a coward.

Well, being so delicate and frail, it’s natural to tremble before guns and swords.

Earlier too, completely frozen stiff, sobbing, only uttering words about being scared…

Ah.

Damn.

Karl stopped for a moment and covered his face with his hands.

Really, that kid was dangerous.

Red all the way to the nape of the neck, even that messy crying face didn’t need to be so much my type…

But that was all. Karl resumed walking briskly again. There wasn’t a trace of anguish in his steps.

He had no intention of being swayed by a woman who was like a curse to the family house, just like his father, brothers, and nephew.

They foolishly seem to have their brains attached to their lower bodies—

But he was different.

Ever since being bitten by the demon of lust in his childhood, he knew better than anyone how to control this. Moreover, not feeling anything for an unwanted target was all too easy.

“Let’s hurry back.”

Soon a new nephew would arrive.

So he had to prepare.

Prepare to become the best uncle in the world.

“Viego. Are you okay?”

Dana was panting.

“Are you really okay?”

He wasn’t okay.

He had planted bombs throughout the mountain. Since he had lured them through one of those routes, he too was inevitably caught up in the explosion.

Viego’s back, struck by the debris, was burned bright red.

“I’m fine.”

Fortunately, since Dana had been in Viego’s arms, she didn’t have a single scratch.

“Viego.”

“We’ll take a ship.”

“Viego.”

“I’ve prepared an uninhabited island. Daily necessities are prepared so we can last for several years, so don’t worry.”

“Viego…”

A voice mixed with tears.

Viego cracked his horse whip while looking down at Dana.

Dana’s eyes were bloodshot red.

“Uh, Viego, I, uh, uh.”

A trembling voice.

“Ah, urgh.”

Convulsing muscles.

It was madness.

The madness was beginning.
