Chapter 277

“The two are simply siblings with a deep bond.”

Anton answered calmly.

“Lumiere is naturally affectionate. He’s just taking extra care of his sickly younger sister who has lived far away all this time. And as for divorce.”

He sighed and spoke firmly.

“There will absolutely be no divorce.”

“Are you certain?”

Ingria asked coldly.

“This matter won’t damage the friendship between our Aren Royal Family and the Roland Family, will it?”

At those words, Anton Roland’s jaw hardened.

“That’s right. There absolutely won’t be.”

Sandra couldn’t believe her father’s reaction.

Right now, her father was speaking in a soothing voice to Ingria, as if he felt terribly sorry.

“Don’t doubt his relationship with Danae, and don’t worry about divorce either.”

“Really, really can I trust this?”

“Yes. You can trust me.”

“Ah. What a relief.”

The next moment, Ingria’s face instantly melted into kindness.

“I understand. I’ll trust only Your Grace.”

“Yes, yes.”

“Thank you so much for putting up with my complaints.”

“Not at all. It’s only natural you’d feel that way.”

Then Ingria looked at Sandra. The moment their eyes met, Sandra flinched in surprise.

“I’m sorry, Mother. I got too excited.”

Ingria smiled shyly.

“Sometimes when I can’t control my anger, I throw tantrums at people around me. Please forgive me with your generous understanding.”

Sandra now found Ingria frightening. How could she hide such violence!

“But Your Grace, you’re taking Danae to Godom Island this time, correct?”

“That’s right.”

“Danae should become the main character of this festival. It seems certain that Lumiere is confused because of that child.”

“….”

“Shouldn’t we remove in advance any spark that could become a great fire in the future?”

With those words, Ingria bowed politely at the waist.

“Then you two, please have a good night.”

Then she leaped over the guards’ corpses and left the room.

The door closed.

Silence fell afterward.

Anton sighed deeply and said.

“I’m sorry, Sandra. There are circumstances.”

“What… circumstances?”

Only then did she feel that her lip was torn and blood was dripping. Sandra muttered as if possessed by a ghost.

“Father, do you think this makes sense?”

“…I’m sorry.”

“Then please tell me. Why exactly did you bow to that woman as if she had some weakness over you?”

At those words, Anton’s lips hardened. For a moment, intense conflict flashed in his eyes.

“A weakness that mustn’t be revealed….”

A weakness that mustn’t be revealed?

She listened carefully, but her father’s voice didn’t continue. No, he seemed to have changed his mind in the meantime.

“It’s better you don’t know.”

“Father!”

“But Ingria crossed the line.”

Anton placed his hand on Sandra’s shoulder. Gripping it tightly, he spoke in a low voice.

“Ingria dared to look down on Roland. Even Ingria’s father, even the King of Lucille Kingdom wouldn’t dare treat Roland that way….”

The moment she felt anger in his voice, Sandra was finally relieved.

Thank goodness. Father isn’t crazy. Father is angry about this situation.

“But for now, I had no choice but to appease her. Ingria has been unpredictable since childhood, so there’s no telling what she might do when angry.”

Anton patted Sandra’s back.

“Think of it as a nightmare.”

With those words, Father stood up. Sandra stared blankly at that unfamiliar back.

A nightmare….

If only it had been a nightmare.

The next day.

“A large-scale riot has broken out in the west!”

An urgent message flew in from Eldiva’s western guard unit.

“There are signs it could grow quite fierce. You should suppress it early!”

Anton dealt with this decisively.

“Lumiere, it would be best if you handle this. Form and lead a military unit.”

“Yes.”

Lumiere stood up without complaint, as if he had expected this. Then Ingria tried to dissuade him with worry.

“Will it be alright? Lumiere isn’t a soldier anymore….”

“Lumiere is the next lord of Eldiva Island. Lords have military command authority, so there’s no problem.”

“No, I’m worried he might get hurt.”

Ingria showed her usual overflowing love for her husband, but for some reason Sandra was looking at such Ingria with fearful eyes.

‘Something must have happened overnight.’

Sandra’s face was swollen, as if someone had beaten her.

However, Dana soon lost interest.

She wasn’t in a position to be curious about others’ affairs right now.

Last night Dana couldn’t sleep at all, so she held out until just before the time of madness came and then took sleeping drugs to sleep.

Perhaps because of that, her head hurt.

“Then I’ll be going.”

And Lumiere completely ignored her. Now he treated her as if she didn’t exist at all.

As soon as Lumiere left, Anton spoke.

“Danae, let’s depart for Godom Island today. Once we perform the spring water ritual, the island’s public sentiment will calm down too.”

“Yes.”

As they finished preparing to leave, Demian approached.

“Dana. Must you really go?”

When she looked at him silently, he hung his head low and muttered.

“I’m not trying to control you. I’m just worried about you, so I hope you’ll think about it one more time.”

This time Dana followed Demian’s advice.

She thought about it one more time.

Deeply, very deeply.

“Yes.”

“….”

“I must go.”

However, nothing had changed.

This body’s remaining lifespan was 54 days.

* * *

It was a spring water ceremony held after a very long time.

Perhaps that was why. The ship heading to Godom Island had spectators aboard besides the officials.

“Wow, amazing.”

“Then try doing it like this?”

Those twins were said to be Ingria’s younger siblings, weren’t they? A boy and girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen were sitting on the deck chattering excitedly. But…

‘…What are they doing right now?’

No matter how I looked at it, they seemed to be dissecting a bird.

“Ah.”

Just then, our eyes met. The twins exchanged glances with each other before approaching Dana.

“You’re Duke Roland’s daughter, aren’t you?”

They smiled brightly and cheerfully greeted her.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Lisa Aren, Sister Ingria’s younger sibling!”

“My name is Ron Aren. I was born one minute later than Lisa, so I’m the younger brother.”

Dana also smiled and greeted them.

“It’s an honor to meet you, Princess, Prince. I’m Danaina Roland.”

“Please call us by our names casually. Maybe because we’ve heard so much about you from Sister Ingria, we feel close to you!”

And she was certain. She hadn’t seen it wrong.

At the spot where the twins had been playing, a bird lay miserably mangled.

“Would Danaina like to come play with us too?”

“No. I appreciate the offer, but I get seasick…”

When they’re young, they might be too innocent to know that plucking dragonfly wings is wrong.

But they don’t look that young, do they?

“Kids, there you are.”

“Sister!”

“Sister!”

Just then Ingria approached. She swept back her hair fluttering in the sea breeze and smiled.

“It seems you’ve already introduced yourselves. Danaina.”

“…”

Look at this.

After getting caught by me and running away in a panic, she’s going to come out this shamelessly?

“Where is that man?”

“Hm? That man?”

“That man we encountered at Somora Temple.”

“Ah, him.”

“…”

What?

“He came with me. He’s probably sleeping in my bedroom right now, why? Shall I lend him to you?”

Lend… him? Dana was left speechless by those vulgar words.

“Ah, but his body price is quite expensive. Since there are so many who desire him, he doesn’t easily show his face to just anyone. Moreover, you’d have to pay about the price of a castle for one night…”

Ingria looked Dana up and down and smiled slyly.

“The allowance you get from Lumiere wouldn’t be enough, would it?”

“You’re out of your mind.”

“I’m telling you that nothing will change from just one affair. Danaina, ah, maybe you don’t know since you’re still unmarried, but when a married couple works together, there’s nothing they can’t overcome.”

Ingria smiled as if pitying her.

“Moreover, the relationship between the Roland family and the Aren royal family is more solid than you think.”

“…”

“Of course, Lumiere might want a divorce, but Lumiere is a very filial grandson, isn’t he? If Duke Roland opposes it, he’ll eventually give up.”

“…”

Ingria’s words didn’t sound like complete nonsense.

It was true that Lumiere respected Anton Roland.

“Well, but you don’t need to worry about future problems. Soon you’ll have problems of your own.”

With those curse-like words, Ingria turned around with the twins.

“Oh my, what have you two done?”

She looked at the bird the twins had dismantled and said.

“You have to bend the wings the other way to make it fun!”

She giggled and began playing along, tearing it apart with them.
