Chapter 251
* * *
After dying as ‘Danawin Windsor’.
Dana’s soul drifted through countless timelines.
The vast and boundless Sea of Time.
What time am I adrift in now?
-Ah.
I understand.
It’s here.
Danawin Windsor’s time.
“Look over there.”
To the time when Danawin Windsor had just finished her mind control and personality modification experiments.
“Look at that boy.”
Rodrigo pointed to the laboratory beyond the glass window.
“That boy’s name is Ignis.”
The red-haired boy was chained like a beast. His wretched state was so pitiful that it made her heart ache.
However.
“Do you remember that boy?”
“No.”
Danawin Windsor answered honestly. Because that was the truth.
Not knowing that all her memories had been erased. Not knowing that she had been modified into a woman who knew no refusal.
“I don’t know who that child is.”
Having completely forgotten her promise to save Ignis.
Rodrigo smiled with great satisfaction at that answer. The experiment had succeeded.
“You’re certain you really don’t remember?”
“Yes.”
The moment she spoke hesitantly, the red-haired boy looked at her with shocked eyes.
It seemed the conversation here could be heard through the glass wall.
Those trembling eyes deeply troubled her heart.
‘Why is he looking at me like that?’
I’m not lying. I really am seeing you for the first time.
Why are you looking at me with eyes of betrayal?
“Dear.”
Then Demian approached. He was her husband.
“Let’s go to the bedroom now. It’s late.”
“Yes.”
Dana left Rodrigo and was embraced by Demian’s arm. The boy’s eyes beyond the glass window persistently followed, bothering her.
“Does it concern you?”
“Yes. It concerns me.”
At her honest answer, Demian seemed displeased and furrowed his brow.
“Why do you care about that worthless…”
“Pardon?”
“No, never mind.”
Demian rubbed his face as if trying to hide his jealousy.
“Ignis is a lowly vermin-like test subject. A criminal who was recaptured while trying to escape the Sanctuary.”
“Yes.”
“Originally of commoner status, a beast-like creature who has prolonged his life by killing countless people in the arena. He’s too shameful to even treat as human.”
“Yes.”
“Don’t show mercy to such a creature. Your heart is too precious for that.”
“Yes.”
Yes. Yes. Yes.
These were the lines programmed into Danawin’s mouth.
Questions arose, but something in her head forcibly suppressed and shattered them. It wouldn’t allow them.
Because she had to obey.
Because she absolutely had to obey.
Ah. It feels like my head will break.
“Dana, more importantly, didn’t you miss me?”
“I missed you.”
“So did I. I don’t want to be apart from you for even a day.”
The empty corridor. Though the bedroom wasn’t far away, even that felt long.
Unable to endure any longer, Demian pulled her waist into his embrace.
“I missed you so much. Dana.”
Dana was accepting him obediently when she was startled.
Behind Demian, a boy stood tall, watching them.
What should I do.
Demian’s son is watching.
“Behind, behind you.”
“Don’t mind him.”
“Pardon?”
“He’s an insolent brat. How dare he refuse to acknowledge that you’re my wife…”
Ah. From that answer, Dana realized. Demian already knew.
Knowing, yet doing this for show.
‘I hate this.’
Intense revulsion surged up, but Dana couldn’t push him away. She couldn’t even say a single word of refusal. That was the life she had been made for.
So she simply closed her eyes and turned away.
From the boy’s dark gaze.
* * *
And once again, drifting in the sea of timelines.
Where will it be this time?
“Your Highness.”
Dana realized.
This time it’s not Danawin’s time.
It’s a life from a different timeline.
The first timeline.
“Princess Danae Grants.”
It’s the time of ‘Princess Danae Grants.’
Not long after she had been adopted into the Imperial Family.
Dana was originally a saint treasured by the Diana faith.
However, two months ago. The Diana faith had been destroyed.
The Ramun faith and the Empire’s Imperial Family had joined forces to attack the Sanctuary, to attack the Diana faith.
The Diana faith was completely crushed.
The few believers who managed to survive scattered in all directions outside the Sanctuary.
And Danae, the saint of the Diana faith, was adopted into the Imperial Family as a trophy of victory.
It had been two months since she began living as an Imperial Princess.
For the first time, she received a proposal from nobles to go on a picnic together.
“Could you please stand there for a moment?”
At those words, Danae Grants, who had been walking through the forest, stopped. And at that moment.
Thud!
Something flew and struck her head. A fishy liquid trickled down her face.
Danae Grants blinked. What is this?
“Ah, yes. Please stand there just like that.”
Thud! In the meantime, something else flew at her. This time it hit her left chest and slid down.
Only then did Dana realize what this was.
Eggs.
“My goodness, how pitiful.”
“Stop it. How can you throw eggs at a person?”
“It’s because I don’t understand. How could someone from the evil Diana faith be adopted into the Imperial Family?”
The man who had thrown eggs at her gestured to a servant standing beside him. The servant was holding a basket piled high with eggs.
Hadn’t they said those were definitely for feeding the beasts in the forest?
But then.
Thud!
Why are they throwing them at me?
“I heard that witches’ bodies burn red when hit with eggs, so I wanted to confirm it.”
“But wouldn’t His Majesty the Emperor be angry if he found out?”
“Don’t worry. His Majesty has given permission for this.”
Another egg flew at her. Sharp shell fragments pricked her cheek.
“When we said we wanted to confirm whether she was a witch, he gladly gave us permission.”
“Oh my, really?”
“As long as it doesn’t reach the ears of Crown Prince Lyos Grants. As you know, he has too soft a heart.”
“Then I should test it too.”
“Me too. It would be troublesome if a witch had infiltrated the Empire, wouldn’t it?”
And so eggs were placed in everyone’s hands.
From then on, eggs truly flew at her endlessly. Her entire body was covered in sticky liquid, and a nauseating fishy smell assaulted her nose.
“Hehehe! Look at that sight.”
“Since her body isn’t burning red, she doesn’t seem to be a witch.”
“You never know. Maybe the amount wasn’t enough. Let’s throw more to confirm!”
“Ah, there’s my servant bringing more eggs. Shall we try throwing them again?”
The servant who had brought more eggs approached. While the nobles were momentarily distracted.
“Ah!”
“She’s running away!”
Danae Grants ran away.
She ran with all her might, running and running again.
“Let’s make a bet! Whoever catches her wins!”
“Good idea, it’s like hunting and it’s fun!”
“I should have brought a hunting rifle!”
How can they do such a thing?
This was the first time she had experienced such severe bullying.
It wasn’t that there had been no bullying before, but it had been done secretly through gossip or humiliation.
She had even told the Emperor about it recently because she couldn’t endure it, but.
“That is all your karma.”
Wilhelm Grants was indifferent.
“You are from the Diana faith, aren’t you. Your very existence is one great evil. Endure this hardship to atone for your innate sin.”
My innate sin?
So I should just endure it?
“Or how about atoning for your sin in a different way.”
Wilhelm’s slimy gaze swept over her entire body.
“I could personally absolve you of your sins.”
Danae Grants immediately realized what the Emperor wanted.
When she glared at him with blade-like eyes of refusal, Wilhelm clicked his tongue, as if he needed to break her spirit.
“It seems there’s nothing I can help you with.”
Then he glared at her with terrifying eyes.
“If by any chance these incidents reach Lyos’s ears, your sins will become even greater. So watch your mouth.”
Danae Grants could not tolerate any of this. She just wanted to run away.
Far, far away, to that distant place—
“Ah!”
Suddenly her feet got tangled.
She immediately tumbled noisily and fell face-first to the ground. Her arms, legs, and face throbbed with pain, but there was no time to feel the pain.
She had to run away quickly.
Before they could ruin her even more, quickly, hurry, fast.
But why.
“Ah, there she is!”
But why won’t strength enter her arms?
The malicious voices grew closer and closer.
“My goodness, look at that.”
“The sight of her lying there struggling.”
“Like a worm…”
Stop.
In an instant, all sounds were cut off. As if severed with a single stroke. And.
“Y-Your Holiness…”
Your Holiness?
Could it be the Pope?
Rustle, she heard the footsteps of someone approaching right in front of her.
