Chapter 279

“Lies.”

Dana spoke firmly to herself.

Lumiere would never do such evil things. I must have seen something wrong.

But she had obtained one clear clue.

‘Ingria’s words about the solid relationship between the Aren Royal Family and the Roland Family were true.’

They were accomplices in tremendous crimes.

‘Why does Anton Roland do such things?’

Could it be that? Those power holders who have too much, committing stimulating pleasure crimes because life is boring?

‘No, Anton isn’t that kind of hedonist.’

He was rather obsessed with raising the family’s status. He was so obsessed that he tried to marry Danae and Karl, didn’t he?

Danae, who was known as Sandra’s daughter, with Karl, Sandra’s ex-husband.

Even knowing how bizarre it would look to the outside world.

He had once told her that it would be nice if an ‘excellent’ person like Karl Windsor became his son-in-law.

‘Yes, that person… wanted talented blood to mix into the family.’

In fact, he pushed aside his incompetent biological son Juan and boldly placed his illegitimate grandson Lumiere in the successor position because he was excellent.

In other words, Anton was obsessed with quality genes.

Like someone who had some kind of deficiency somewhere…

‘Ah, forget it. Stop thinking about it.’

Dana shook her head.

This isn’t the time to think about other things.

‘I have 53 days left to live, so I need to put out the urgent fire first.’

Let’s find the sacred relic first.

The sacred relic is here, in the underground of the Somora Grand Temple.

But the problem is that the Somora Grand Temple is larger than expected, and above all, the security is tight.

Could she really reach the underground sanctuary without being caught by the guards?

Dana looked over the letters remaining on the wall. Maybe there’s something that could be a clue.

[They say I will be offered as a sacrifice tomorrow]

[Yesterday I clearly saw my friend being offered as a sacrifice]

Poor people. She sighed involuntarily, and even reading was painful, but Dana steadily continued looking.

Isn’t there something. Something that might help.

[They say sacrifices filled with fear are the highest quality sacrifices, so they will give us extreme terror and drag us to the altar. That place…]

Ah. Found it.

The easiest and fastest way to get underground.

[To the altar of the underground sanctuary]

It was to become a human sacrifice.

* * *

“I emphasize once more.”

Anton Roland spoke firmly.

“Absolutely, absolutely must not take her life.”

“Yes, yes, we understand.”

“We also know that sacrifices with life attached are more valuable.”

These fishy-smelling islanders.

Anton suppressed his disgust toward the Somora priests.

But still, they would keep their word. As they said, sacrifices are more effective when alive.

The only problem was the Lucille royals…

“Princess, Prince.”

Anton Roland once again urged Ron Aren and Lisa Aren.

“As you’ve already heard, you absolutely must not kill Danae. Do you understand?”

Then the twin royals politely nodded.

“Yes, we understand. We’ll keep it in mind.”

“Father told us to follow the Duke’s words like father’s words. We’ll definitely keep it, so don’t worry!”

They were a boy and girl who looked innocent to anyone.

However, Anton terribly disliked them.

‘Dirty bloodline that performs human sacrifices.’

The royal family of Lucille Kingdom, Aren.

The Aren Royal Family had secretly colluded with the Somora cult for a long time. They had seized control of state affairs by relying on their sorcery and solidified royal power with that strength.

Secretly eliminating political enemies with sorcery, causing disasters when necessary to drive citizens into fear, inciting civil wars to manipulate public sentiment according to the royal family’s will.

Truly dirty, cowardly, and disgusting bloodline.

And this isn’t just for a year or two. They’ve been doing this for over a thousand years!

‘Yet externally they pretend to believe in the Sun God Ramun!’

In exchange for receiving help from the Somora cult, the Aren Royal Family had supported the Somora cult’s human sacrifices for over a thousand years.

The Somora cult’s sorcery. The source of that power was maintained precisely through human sacrifices.

‘They’re the bloodline of murderers who have been doing such disgusting things for over a thousand years.’

It wasn’t simple sacrifice.

The more noble the sacrifice, the more terrified they were, the greater the sacrificial effect, so they didn’t hesitate to cruelly frighten them before killing.

That cruel act eventually transformed into bizarre entertainment. Just like what would happen here and now.

Truly horrible.

But more horrible than that was the Roland Family cooperating with them.

‘There’s no choice. They have the Roland Family’s weakness.’

That didn’t mean the Aren Royal Family was in an absolutely dominant position. Rather, the Roland ducal family’s influence was more powerful than Aren’s in this western continent.

Moreover, since they were now accomplices, they had become a relationship where they shouldn’t offend each other’s feelings.

Yes, they would watch each other’s reactions. That was the rule.

“Ingria.”

Recently, Ingria had trampled on that invisible line. How dare she. A line that even the King of Lucille couldn’t trample!

“You too, please keep in mind. You absolutely must not kill Danae.”

“Yes, don’t worry.”

Perhaps from long collusion with the Somora cult.

Whether influenced by the cult’s sorcery, all the Aren Royal Family’s blood relatives were psychopaths in Anton’s view. They were born to be cruel.

But why did Ingria have to fall for Lumiere!

He didn’t want such personality-disordered blood to mix into the Roland Family, but he couldn’t refuse the marriage proposal either.

His head was starting to ache.

Anton endured his headache and spoke to the priest.

“I’ll go smoke just one cigar. You bring Danae and perform the ritual.”

“Yes, yes, Your Grace, I’ll follow your orders.”

He sighed and went out to the garden.

Having Danae play the scapegoat role was Rodrigo’s request.

The reason was unknown. He didn’t want to know either.

He just asked them to frighten Danae in every way and make her suffer.

In the middle, they would kidnap Danae on their own, so he just asked them to drive her to the edge of a cliff.

‘And they said they made a separate empty shell of Danae’s body to use as a sacrifice.’

Anyway, crazy heretics.

Whether Diana cult or Somora cult, they’re all just crazy people.

While lamenting and lighting a cigar and smoking it slowly, someone approached from behind.

“Who is it.”

Anton, who had turned around, immediately narrowed his eyes.

The man standing under the moonlight was so dazzling.

“Lumiere.”

Anton let out another deep sigh.

“I clearly told you not to come here.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Tsk, you really don’t listen either.”

“I was just worried.”

Lumiere asked with concern.

“Do I not need to attend this time?”

“It’s fine. Since Adma is here, there’s no need for you to join in that vile act too.”

To become an accomplice, at least one person of Roland’s bloodline had to be present there.

Although something else had entered inside Adma.

The shell was a perfect Adma Roland, so it should be fine.

‘I wish today would pass quickly.’

Anton truly found this time horrible.

This very time when humans became beasts.

* * *

Adma Roland.

That is, Demian was wearing a goat mask and mixed in among the priests.

The ritual was about to begin soon.

“Kyaak, please don’t do this. Huk!”

Before the ritual, Danae was dragged out to the maze garden of the great temple by a priest.

“Huk, huk, huk, huk.”

Had she resisted during the process of being brought out? Dana was crying with her hair disheveled and messy.

“Pl-please, spare me.”

Dana began pleading while trembling.

“I, I read all the writing on the walls of the room. Will, will I become like that too?”

“….”

“Why is everyone doing this to me!”

“….”

“Please don’t do this!”

No one answered. At the silence of the goat masks, Dana burst into tears in terror.

“Huk, Maternal Grandfather, where are you, please save me, Maternal Grandfather!”

How pitiful that scene was.

Among the priests, Demian sighed quietly to himself.

‘Dana. That’s why I warned you not to come to this place.’

You didn’t listen to me and this is what happened, isn’t it?

Of course, naturally leading Dana to this Godom Island was his mission. The mission given to him by his father, Rodrigo.

Demian had not lied to Dana.

He was truly a fragment created by tearing off a piece of his own soul to beg Dana for forgiveness when Demian was alive.

However.

“You must lure Dana to this place.”

However, the problem was that Rodrigo was the one who controlled Demian’s fragment.

“Remember. Your mission is to lure Dana to Godom Island and bring her to me.”

Rodrigo had even cast a suggestion on him.

“Bring Dana to me. Without fail.”

Demian could not escape from that suggestion.

Still, he disliked her coming to this island, so he secretly hoped she wouldn’t come.

‘Now that I see it, it doesn’t seem bad that she came.’

Demian looked over her figure hungrily from inside the mask.

Her flushed cheeks. Her moist eyes. Her trembling lips.

It was truly an exquisite face.

Demian really loved Dana’s crying face.

She usually made that face in bed. And….

“Huk, huk, please, save me.”

Ah, that moaning sound.

“Huk, huk, huk.”

Please stop crying.

Just hearing that sound made him feel like he was in bed with her right now.

Demian gritted his teeth. Dana would blame him again asking if he was sick, but this time too he couldn’t help it.

Indeed, he realized once again.

‘Dana….’

You are more beautiful when you are vulnerable.
