Chapter 254
* * *
There exists something called the .
The prophecy book said to have been written by the Son of God who descended to the ground 200 years ago was a treasure of the Ramun Church that had been stolen and lost long ago.
Justio had been tracking the for a long time.
And finally, he discovered fragments of that prophecy book throughout the continent, but.
[Dana]
The more he found, the more unbelievable it became.
[The saint and sacrifice of the Diana Cult]
The prophecy book was filled entirely with stories about that woman.
[She is a woman from another world summoned by ‘Edam Windsor’, the first Diana Cult Leader who founded the Diana Cult]
Moreover, it was an utterly absurd story.
[That woman has lived under countless names: as Danawin Windsor, as Danae Windsor, as Danaina Rolland, and in other timelines as Danae Grants]
Was this real? Or was it perhaps a fabrication created by someone to mock him?
He began to doubt the authenticity of this prophecy book.
[That woman is used by Justio I, the 19th Pope of the Ramun Church]
Even his own existence had already been prophesied 200 years ago.
Justio began to distrust this prophecy book.
This is false. Someone in modern times is playing tricks to confuse him.
However, according to what numerous theologians and Sacred Magistrates had proven, this prophecy book was written 200 years ago.
Nevertheless, he couldn’t believe it.
So Justio decided to test it once.
[That woman will be sent back to the past by the hands of the 19th Pope Justio I]
If even future events that hadn’t happened yet came true, then it would be real.
[And she will lose her way in the past]
So he actually carried it out.
[Having become lost in the timeline, she will wander for countless times, very long, very extensively]
However, he had inwardly judged it to be fake.
So he simply used that woman for what was truly necessary.
[When Dana returns to the present time again, she will be]
But he obtained a completely unexpected result.
[Not sound of mind]
It happened exactly as the prophecy book foretold.
[And her heart will be shattered to pieces]
It truly came to pass.
[Thus Dana, having been used by the Diana Cult and then by the Ramun Church, becomes completely broken]
The prophecy book was real.
[A sacrifice for this world]
[Dana]
Justio looked down at the sleeping woman.
The tears crossing her white cheeks were like cracked glass.
To break her this completely, countless hands must have struck her again and again.
Surely his own hand was also included among them. Among those hands that had broken her.
* * *
Dana was submerged in darkness.
That darkness was as comfortable as night.
“I’ll make you forget.”
Like your voice that resembles the night.
“Forget everything.”
Thank you.
“I’ll be the one to remember.”
Thank you for understanding.
As expected, you’re the only one who cares for me.
It was always only you.
“You had a bad dream.”
As expected, I like you so, so much.
Soon after, a gentle and warm power surged forth.
It embraced her like his arms and swallowed all those painful memories into itself.
Only into himself.
So that she wouldn’t see and be startled, so that not even a thread of memory would slip out. He thoroughly devoured it all and buried it.
Without leaving a trace of evidence.
Dana forgot everything.
He made it so she could do that.
But why.
“If we catch it, we’ll kill that thing.”
Why is only this scene so vivid?
“Isn’t it unpleasant? Lying under the lake for over 200 years and manipulating us like this.”
The words Karl Windsor spat out while killing Demian.
“Like a curse passed down through generations of the family.”
This isn’t even a scene I directly witnessed from that time, so why is it so vivid as if I saw it right beside them?
Did I look down with Divine Sight back then?
Why on earth.
“We must end it. Whether by completely destroying it, killing it, or by any means necessary.”
Why is only this memory so clear?
The sensation of that cold gun muzzle pressed against my forehead, and your gentle yet ruthless gaze.
It’s all too vivid.
Frighteningly vivid.
* * *
Several days had passed since Dana returned to reality.
She still hadn’t regained her sanity.
Justio looked after her every day. Since he was the only medium who could care for her in her soul state.
Today’s Dana seemed to be seeing things that weren’t there.
“Lete. What if I say I won’t go to the Academy?”
Justio stood in the doorway, quietly watching Dana.
“You don’t want to enter the Imperial Academy? What on earth are you talking about?”
Dana had a very serious expression.
“You won’t enroll because you don’t want to enter the dormitory? Are you seriously saying that right now?”
Lete. Was she seeing her secretary from when he was a boy?
“That Academy has a dormitory system. Of course you have to enter it.”
As if intending to lecture him, she was making the strictest expression she could muster.
“Why are you being so stubborn about not going? This is such a great opportunity for you.”
However, from Justio’s perspective, it was pitifully ineffective. It seemed to be due to her naturally soft and gentle features and demeanor.
Surely the boy who actually received lectures in the past must have felt the same way.
“Lete, your private tutor says you’re incredibly smart. You got almost everything right on the practice test. And you haven’t even been studying for that long.”
What kind of response did she hear to that? She widened her eyes as if dumbfounded.
“What? You wouldn’t have answered everything correctly if you’d known it was an Academy practice test? What are you talking about?”
Dana let out a deeper sigh than ever before.
Justio’s guess was correct.
Right now, Dana was trying to persuade Lete from her fantasies.
A small, frail, thin boy. The boy who was dying buried in the snow.
“Why do you keep trying to send me away? You actually regret bringing me here, don’t you?”
“No. It’s not like that.”
“If it’s not like that, then please don’t send me away.”
The boy Lete cast his gaze down to the floor as he spoke.
“Please let me work as a servant instead, Miss. I don’t care if it’s the stable or anywhere else.”
“Lete.”
“I don’t want to go somewhere else.”
“Lete….”
“Please, Miss.”
At Lete’s stubborn words, Dana naturally realized.
I see. That child is lonely.
He doesn’t want to be alone again.
Dana finally reached out her hand toward Lete.
“Come here, Lete.”
She smiled brightly.
“Quickly. Okay?”
But he doesn’t come.
The man just quietly stares at her smile and the hand she’s extending.
Why won’t he come?
Well, boys that age are difficult to handle.
Eventually Dana stood up. She walked over, approached him, and gently embraced him.
“Alright. I understand. I won’t send you anywhere else.”
This child must need human warmth.
After all, he was buried in the snow for so long.
How cold it must have been.
“Let’s live together from now on. Supporting each other.”
Dana patted his back, then gently stroked it. So he could feel at ease.
But….
‘Why is Lete’s body so solid?’
And right now it looks like I’m the one being held in his arms.
This is strange.
Lete is smaller than me.
That boy couldn’t have suddenly grown this much.
The back she felt under her fingertips was intimidatingly strong. It had a firm and solid texture like touching a sculpture carved from marble.
It was far too developed to belong to a skinny boy….
Dana slowly lifted her head.
“….”
There was the sea.
An intense blue like the waves of the North Sea….
“Ah.”
For a moment, her mind seemed to snap awake.
Dana hurriedly released her arms from around the man.
This man is.
“Justio….”
Which means.
“Your Holiness the Pope.”
“….”
“Hello.”
