Chapter 258

* * *

Finally, the moment to return to Danae’s body had come.

Before that, Justio cast holy magic for her.

He said it was holy magic to prevent mental confusion and multiple personalities.

“This is still a technique in the research stage, so it’s not perfect. I’ll try it, but don’t expect too much.”

However, surprisingly, it was effective.

‘My head is clear.’

After returning to reality, her mind became clearer than ever before.

“It worked!”

Dana burst into bright laughter like a child.

“I think I’m in my right mind now!”

Justio, who had been watching that smile, eventually announced a result that could never be denied.

“No, it’s a failure.”

“What?”

A failure?

Right now she really was in her right mind though…

“That current state won’t last completely.”

“What does that mean?”

“When the time comes during the day when the sun’s power is weakest, the holy magic may also weaken.”

That meant, in other words, when deep night came, she could suffer mental confusion again.

“From midnight to three in the morning. That time will be the most dangerous, so be especially careful.”

“Yes. I understand.”

Dana made up her mind.

From midnight to three in the morning. During that time, somehow, even if she had to take sleeping drugs, she would absolutely only sleep.

“Then now I’ll send you back to Danae Roland’s body.”

A golden magic circle began to blaze and flicker beneath the floor where Justio stood.

“You’ll feel your soul’s thread being pulled. When that happens, follow it.”

“Yes.”

The light grew stronger, and the air twisted. His white holy robes fluttered and his golden hair swayed.

And at that moment.

“…!”

Golden rays of light coiled around Justio’s body like snakes.

“Y-Your Highness?”

The golden light, his divine power, was wrapping around Justio’s body like rope.

No. Not rope. That looked like it was restraining a criminal…

‘Chains?’

It was the shape of chains.

Chains of light wrapped around Justio’s body with all their might, again and again. As if condemning him, as if judging his actions. As if-

As if punishing him.

“Concentrate.”

It was clearly an unexpected situation. However, Justio was frighteningly unshaken.

“You must concentrate only on the sensation of feeling your soul’s thread. You’ll soon feel it being pulled-“

At that moment, thunk.

The golden chains pierced into his abdomen.

Justio didn’t scream, but a stream of blood flowed from his mouth.

“Your Highness!”

Thunk, thunk, thunk. The golden chains pierced through Justio’s body one after another.

By this point, it was impossible not to know.

Justio’s divine power was attacking him. It was refusing to send her soul back to her body!

“S-stop it! You’ll die at this rate!”

“I told you to concentrate!”

At Justio’s stern shout, Dana closed her mouth. He didn’t seem to have any intention of stopping.

How long did she watch him being attacked with such an anxious heart? Justio suddenly raised his eyes that had been cast downward.

“Go, now!”

At that moment, she felt her soul’s thread pulling her with tremendous force.

Dana was dragged along. And-

‘No!’

With the scene of dozens of golden chains piercing through Justio all at once as the last thing she saw, Dana disappeared from that place.

* * *

“Danae?”

No.

“Danae!”

No. No. No!

“Dana, get a hold of yourself!”

He can’t die!

Dana stretched out both hands as if flailing. To catch him. To grab hold of him as he fell and hold him up.

“Dana!”

The next moment, something firmly grasped her hand.

Large hands.

Warm body temperature.

Strong power.

“Dana, calm down. Okay?”

That strength gently patted the shoulder of her as she groaned and struggled.

“It’s okay, Dana. Everything’s okay now. Shh…”

At that warm body temperature, at that gentle voice, Dana’s breathing gradually, little by little, calmed down. Her tangled mind, her fear, her confusion.

Gradually settling down.

“Dana.”

After a moment, Dana raised her head. She blinked her wet eyelashes.

Ruby-colored eyes.

Kind and gentle.

“Lumiere?”

When she whispered that name, he opened his eyes wide as if surprised. Soon he smiled and answered.

“Yes, it’s me.”

Dana thought in her daze.

Lumiere. It’s Lumiere.

The person who became my ally in every moment.

And I am…

‘Who am I right now?’

Where am I?

What am I doing?

Until just a moment ago, she seemed to have been in a very urgent situation. She seemed to have been anxious…

She couldn’t remember anything.

Dana slowly shifted her gaze.

Outside the window, darkness stretched out.

A pitch-black night.

It was the time of darkness.

It was the time of confusion that Justio had warned about, but she who had opened her eyes in the middle of it could not find her reason.

So she just….

“Lumiere.”

Called the name of the man she saw before her eyes.

At that moment, memories of some time came flooding in.

It was the memory of a time when she often called Lumiere’s name on nights like this, in bed like this.

Yes, there was such a time.

When she was about to marry Lumiere, when she believed she would be with him forever.

It’s that time back then.

“Lumiere.”

Dana reached out her hand and pulled him toward her.

He obediently let himself be pulled and collapsed onto her body. He was solid and heavy, but she wasn’t afraid at all.

Rather, she felt incredibly good. It was the body temperature of a man more peaceful and safe than anyone else in this world.

This person always protected me everywhere, didn’t he.

Dana rubbed her face against the man’s cheek. His skin was surprisingly soft and smooth, and the touch felt pleasant.

Dana gently pressed her lips to his trembling eyelashes. To his tense eye area, to his cheek. And.

And to his lips-

“Stop.”

Just before touching, a firm hand grabs her shoulder and presses down.

“Don’t do this. Danaina.”

What?

Danaina?

‘Ah.’

Dana’s eyes snapped open. As if struck by lightning, her mind became clear.

“Could you let go of this?”

At that moment, Dana finally fully realized.

Danaina Roland.

That time when she was Lumiere’s younger sister.

She had returned to her present time.

As soon as she realized, Dana relaxed the strength in her arms. Then she saw Lumiere, who had been embraced by her, straightening his waist.

Dana looked up at him blankly.

In the moonlight, Lumiere was making a troubled expression.

“Are you a bit more conscious now?”

“….”

“I’m glad you woke up. Rest for now. I’ll call the doctor.”

Without even listening to her answer, Lumiere left the room.

Dana watched his retreating figure with a dazed feeling.

Lumiere pretended to be affectionate, pretended to be kind.

‘Contempt….’

But he couldn’t hide the look of contempt.

Well, his younger sister who had been hovering between life and death suddenly tried to kiss him when she woke up after a long time.

‘It would be disgusting.’

Dana sighed. The darkness outside the window was too thick.

Why did she open her eyes at night? Justio had definitely sent her back during the day.

Did it take a little longer to regain consciousness after returning to this body….

…Is Justio okay?

‘He must be alive, right?’

He would be alive, probably.

Though very faint, the holy magic he had cast was shining inside her body, near her soul.

If he had died, this holy magic would have disappeared too.

‘Please be safe. We have many things to do together.’

Dana embraced Danaina Roland’s shoulders with both arms. It was truly a body she had returned to after such a long time, with such difficulty.

A body of reality, of the present time.

Although it had very many flaws….

‘It’s more than just flaws.’

A dry laugh escaped.

What could she do. Let me go as far as I can go.

‘Yes, now I’m not even afraid of death.’

It was Danawin Windsor’s influence. She was no longer afraid of death. It seemed that living as Danawin for 10 years had a very big impact….

“Dana.”

Suddenly her thoughts were cut off.

This voice is….

“You’re awake.”

Dana quickly raised her head.

When did he come in.

That man was standing in front of the door.

“…Why are you here.”

It was Viego Windsor.
