Chapter 264

“Can’t live without a man, can you?”

“….”

“With that unstable health of yours, to the point where you’d throw your body away, are men that important to you?”

Lumiere tilted his head slightly and gestured toward her with his chin.

“Answer me. Danae.”

She couldn’t… answer.

The piercing pain in her chest continued for a very long time.

Perhaps it was because Lumiere had been such a gentle brother all this time.

Because he was someone who would softly embrace her, saying he’d make her happy if she came back to the Empire with him.

But Dana knew. She already knew from experiencing it when she was ‘Danae Windsor.’

Originally, Lumiere was someone who could freely move between extreme cold and warmth. He could be infinitely kind one moment and cruel the next.

And now, he seemed to have decided he would no longer be kind to her.

“Yes. You’ve finally noticed.”

Dana, barely managing to compose herself, replied calmly.

“I suppose I am that type.”

“What?”

“I’m sorry. Your younger sister seems to be the kind of woman who can’t live a single day without a man.”

She deliberately answered sarcastically. Like an adolescent girl rebelling against her parents.

She thought it was rather fortunate.

Having regained many memories this time, she had come to realize.

Lumiere must not be entangled with her.

To him, she was an apple filled with deadly poison.

The moment he coveted her, he would always be destroyed.

So she hoped Lumiere would take this opportunity to completely lose interest in her.

“Are you calling that speech?”

“Yes. You know better than anyone that it’s not an exaggeration but the truth, don’t you, Brother?”

Dana chose only words that would scratch at his insides.

“So please let me go to Eldiva Island to confirm whether it’s my ex-husband’s soul.”

“My answer remains unchanged.”

“Then I’ll run away and go anyway.”

Lumiere wore a mocking smile as if her blatant rebellion was amusing.

“Run away? Are you going to swim across the sea?”

“I can’t swim. But most sailors are men, aren’t they? If I ask them to take me, at least one would gladly do it.”

“There’s no such thing as a free ride in this world. Do you know what that sailor who takes you will demand in return?”

“I don’t care what it is. I’m willing to sacrifice this body of mine to meet my husband.”

“Sacrifice your body?”

At those words, a faint anger finally flickered through Lumiere’s eyes, which had been cold all along.

“Danaina Rolland. Are you threatening me right now?”

“It’s not a threat, it’s sincere.”

“You’re sincere about using your body recklessly?”

Veins bulged on the back of Lumiere’s hand as it rested on the desk. He asked slowly.

“Is that something to say in front of your brother?”

“You also cursed at me, calling me a crazy woman obsessed with men. Is that something to say to your younger sister?”

“…I didn’t say it that harshly.”

“It’s the same thing!”

Just as their voices were rising and a full-blown argument was about to begin.

“Wait a moment!”

The door opened and Ingria rushed in. Her appearance immediately cooled the heated atmosphere.

“I’m sorry… I heard everything.”

For some reason, Ingria’s eyes were rippling with deep emotion.

“Lumiere, let Danae go to Eldiva Island!”

Ingria grabbed Dana’s shoulders and shouted.

“I’ll go to Eldiva Island with Danae! If you don’t let us go, I’ll… yes, I’ll run away too!”

Why is this woman suddenly acting like this? Dana was bewildered by Ingria’s unexpected passionate support.

“Lumiere, you can’t stop Danae anyway. Danae is blinded by love right now, and she’ll go to Eldiva Island no matter what hardships, difficulties, or obstacles she has to overcome.”

“…Ingria.”

“She wants to meet her dead husband’s soul, doesn’t she? How much must she miss her old love to feel that way? If I were Danae, I’d want to see him even if I had to run away.”

“….”

“Please let her go. If you’re worried about Danae, I’ll take good care of her.”

Lumiere rubbed his brow as if he had a headache.

“You’ll take care of Danae?”

“Yes. Danae is still young, so we can’t send her alone.”

“….”

“And… also.”

Ingria hesitated and blushed.

“As you know, my twin siblings are vacationing there. As you know, Eldiva Island is a resort favored by Lucille royalty… Of course, I’m not saying I disagree with your point about it being dangerous.”

Perhaps because it was his wife’s words, Lumiere readily nodded.

“Yes. If that’s what you say, then that’s what we should do.”

“Really?”

“Yes. But I can’t send you alone, so I’ll go with you.”

“Oh, no! You must be busy as the acting family head right now…”

“I cannot send you alone.”

Dana was dumbfounded.

To give in so easily to his wife’s nonsense. Even saying he’d go with them…

‘He’s completely whipped by his wife.’

As expected. She knew Lumiere would become a devoted husband.

Dana smiled bitterly. It was good. If the couple had a good relationship, it was good for Lumiere.

Lumiere should be happy. He should live a life unrelated to her and definitely be happy. That thought remained unchanged, but.

She couldn’t help the chill that crept into a corner of her heart.

‘It’s for Lumiere’s sake.’

Perhaps it was even more bitter because she had regained her memories from when she was Danae Grants. More sorrowful.

Lumiere.

Always, in every life, Lumiere who had been on my side.

Crash!

“What did you just say?”

The wine glass Sandra dropped shattered into pieces.

“Lumiere, Lumiere has arrived?”

Lumiere had arrived at Eldiva Island. Upon hearing this news, Sandra screamed.

“Throw him out!”

She lost her reason from the shock. The alcohol and drugs she had been enjoying recently were still not fully worn off.

“Calm down, Sandra.”

“Throw him out immediately!”

“Sandra.”

“Wasn’t it supposed to be only Danae coming? Why the hell did Lumiere come! That guy absolutely hates Eldiva Island!”

“Yes, Lumiere coming is unexpected, but since he’s already here, let’s calm down first-“

“What if Lumiere finds out!”

Sandra screamed frantically while clutching her head.

“What if he finds out that Lumiere’s biological father is on this island right now!”

At that moment, smack! Anton’s large hand struck Sandra’s cheek.

Only after Sandra fell to the floor did she belatedly realize she had made a mistake.

“Watch your mouth, Sandra.”

“….”

“Don’t you know there are listening ears here?”

That’s right.

There was currently a messenger in this room who had delivered the news.

“Honestly, my daughter is such a troublemaker.”

Anton sighed and put a cigar in his mouth. Then he nodded toward the messenger.

“You, what was your name again?”

“M-Mason, sir.”

The messenger’s face was deathly pale. He too had realized it. That he had just heard a truth he should never have heard.

“Right, Mason. How many years have you worked under me?”

“It’s, it’s just approaching 2 years now.”

“Two years. That’s not enough time to build mutual trust.”

“S-sir.”

“I’m sorry about this.”

“Sir! I didn’t hear anything! No, I won’t tell anyone!”

“I’ll make sure your family members are properly compensated.”

“S-sir, please!”

Bang!

A sharp gunshot rang out. The messenger couldn’t even scream and collapsed on the spot.

“A valuable talent died because of you, Sandra.”

Anton clicked his tongue and holstered his pistol back at his waist.

“Always watch your mouth. The fact that Lumiere’s biological father is currently on Eldiva Island is classified information of the highest order.”
