Chapter 263

I’ll dig up that bastard’s tomb and smash his corpse to pieces to humiliate him.

‘Yes. I’ll get my revenge that way.’

They say that removing the holy relic from the tomb will break the sealing stone and weaken the demon’s seal, but that’s a problem for the people of this world to solve.

Whether Rodrigo or Viego becomes a new sealing stone, or they find a new holy relic, they can figure it out themselves.

There are several more holy relics anyway.

One of them is on Eldiva Island, a territory owned by the Roland Family.

And that was the place she could reach fastest right now.

‘The Sanctuary requires Viego Windsor’s permission to enter.’

She would have to contact that bastard Viego and get permission to enter the Sanctuary.

But since Viego had no interest in her whatsoever, he would probably handle things sluggishly.

Right now, time was life for Dana.

Not metaphorically, but literally.

She was scheduled to die in 60 days.

‘What excuse can I use to go to Eldiva Island?’

Travel?

Would they listen to me saying I want to travel right after waking up?

While pondering excuses to go to Eldiva Island, Dana spent that day preparing things necessary for daily life.

She needed supplies to live without being caught as insane.

Mild sleeping pills, restraints to tie her body so she couldn’t wander around even if she woke up during her mad episodes, and other things.

And the next day.

[I heard you’ve awakened]

[Danae, I’m sorry, but I need you to come to Eldiva Island as soon as possible]

Anton Roland, the head of the Roland Family, sent her a very urgent message via carrier pigeon.

[Eldiva Island is territory owned by the Roland Family, and has been managed by my nephew Adma Rolland.]

[But recently, I heard Adma was ill and came to visit.]

What kind of content could it be that he sent even a military carrier pigeon to urgently deliver the news?

[Adma’s condition is very strange]

[As if possessed by a ghost, he’s acting differently from his usual self and talking nonsense. That boy Adma-]

Dana’s hand holding the letter stiffened.

[He claims to be your husband]

[Your husband, Demian]

‘How ridiculous. Who is he trying to fool?’

Dana snorted.

Justio said spirits rarely become vengeful ghosts.

…But he said ‘rarely,’ not ‘never.’

What if it really is Demian’s spirit?

‘That would work out well for me.’

Because I’m dying to beat the hell out of that bastard.

And above all, it was suspicious. An invitation to Eldiva Island suddenly arriving while she was considering the holy relic on Eldiva Island.

‘But I can’t avoid it.’

Whether real or not, she now had an excuse to go to Eldiva Island, so Dana immediately ran to Lumiere and showed him the letter.

She planned to ask to borrow a ship to go to Eldiva.

However.

“It would be better not to go.”

Lumiere opposed it.

“Eldiva Island is a dangerous place. Don’t you know it was originally a pirates’ island?”

I know.

Originally, Eldiva Island was the stronghold of vicious pirates of the Narib Sea, a long-standing headache for the Empire, but-

‘Lumiere wiped them out, didn’t he?’

Lumiere didn’t become a captain at a young age for nothing.

The Eldiva Island pirate suppression operation was successfully completed when Lumiere was only sixteen, during his first real combat at the Military Academy.

Emperor Wilhelm Grants at the time granted that territory to the Roland Family as a reward.

“Grand Duke, here.”

Then his secretary beside him handed him some documents and whispered something.

That man, much older than Lumiere, was once a high-ranking naval officer who retired together when Lumiere was dishonorably discharged and now worked as Roland’s retainer.

Lumiere spoke to Dana while checking the documents he handed over.

“Most of Eldiva Island’s residents are natives. Since they were originally pirates, they’re very violent and barbaric.”

He looks really busy…

Dana didn’t want to argue with his opinion in front of his subordinate, but it was important to her too, so she had no choice.

“But isn’t the Imperial Navy stationed there? Besides, I heard it’s a famous tourist destination with excellent security…”

Indeed, Eldiva Island was called the jewel of the Narib Sea, considered the most beautiful island in the world.

“Still, people go missing on that island every year. Among the missing are royalty and nobles too.”

“…”

“Besides, no matter how much they care about security, the island’s natives are former pirates, so you never know when unexpected situations might arise.”

I could understand why Lumiere was discouraging her.

But she couldn’t back down.

“But my maternal grandfather requested help.”

“What help do you think you could provide? You’re neither a doctor nor a medium.”

“Still, I have to go!”

Dana raised her voice slightly.

She thought he would surely be surprised by her aggressive argument, but unexpectedly, Lumiere didn’t even blink. Instead, his subordinate frowned and glared at Dana.

Lumiere answered while processing documents.

“As your older brother, I have no choice but to oppose this. Don’t forget that you haven’t been awake from your coma for very long.”

As he continued speaking, sunlight suddenly streaming from the window settled on his silver eyelashes. It scattered transparent radiance along each individual lash.

At that sight, Dana momentarily forgot to breathe. The appearance of light resting near his eyes was truly a mystical scene…

“What are you staring at so blankly?”

Dana quickly pretended to be composed.

“What do you mean?”

“…”

Lumiere, perhaps sensing Dana’s impure gaze, spoke in an even colder voice.

“And Adma is clearly suffering from serious mental problems. Your husband? You’re not even married yet.”

Saying this, Lumiere handed documents to his subordinate and gestured for him to leave. The subordinate looked at Dana with displeasure before exiting the room.

“Am I wrong, Danae?”

He was right.

If she were in the opposite position, she would have discouraged it too. But.

‘Without the holy relic, I’ll die in 59 days.’

So she had to go. No matter what.

Dana ultimately decided to make a bold move.

“He’s my husband.”

“…What?”

“Actually, we had a secret wedding ceremony at the sanctuary without anyone knowing. I’m alone now because he passed away, but his name was Demian.”

“….”

“It was a secret wedding ceremony, so it’s something only Demian and I knew about. Since you know this, you must be possessed by my husband’s soul.”

“…Your husband?”

“Yes. My husband.”

Silence fell.

After a moment, Lumiere raised the corners of his mouth.

It was a very cold sneer filled with mockery, different from his gentle smiles until now.

“You’re really amazing.”

“…Pardon?”

“You were sick for quite a long time, yet as soon as you got up from your sickbed, you’re looking for a man.”

Saying that, Lumiere let out a light laugh and corrected himself.

“No, that’s not right. You were looking for a man even before getting up from your sickbed.”

“….”

Dana’s face flushed red.

Lumiere was mocking that moment last night when she had tried to kiss him.

“As long as it’s a man, you don’t care whether they’re family or what?”
