Chapter 298

 

 

 

 

* * *

 

“Your Majesty?”

Alice entered Lyos’s room. He was sitting on the sofa smoking a cigar, and as soon as he saw her, he spread his arms wide.

“Come here. My wife.”

Alice hurried over to him and embraced him. Then Lyos planted a kiss on her forehead.

However, Alice felt only emptiness. A sense of discomfort washed over her, as if his lips were made of paper.

“You must have run into Noah on your way here.”

“Ah. Yes… that’s right. What did Noah come for?”

“His three-year sentence is over. I listened to how his time in prison was, and told him he must live well without making any mistakes from now on.”

Ah, that’s right.

Only then did Alice recall Noah’s past of committing serial murders. So he had served three years in prison and was now back.

No wonder his eyes looked truly murderous. Just like a killer…

“I heard your sister Danaina Rolland is getting married soon.”

Alice’s back instantly stiffened. Alice managed to smile calmly as she looked up at Lyos.

Does Your Majesty know too? Does he know that Danaina is actually sister Danae? What if he finds out? What should I do?

“That day happens to coincide with your birthday.”

“…”

Alice’s eyes grew moist. A voice filled with emotion flowed out.

“You remembered?”

“Of course.”

“I thought you had forgotten. Everyone, everyone only talks about Danaina’s engagement ceremony. Sniff, sniff.”

“Oh my, you felt left out.”

“Everyone’s going there, aren’t they? Then my birthday would be, sob, too embarrassing to hold a banquet for, sob, sob.”

“Don’t worry.”

Lyos smiled as he wiped away her tears.

“I’ll make sure everyone remembers that day as your birthday.”

“Welcome.”

When Dana arrived at Windsor Estate, all the employees stood in a line in the lobby to greet her.

“We will serve you with all our hearts from now on. If you need anything, please feel free to tell us at any time.”

The butler had changed.

All the employees had changed too.

Some of them were familiar faces. They were people she had seen at the Sanctuary, at the Great Cathedral of Diana.

‘They’ve completely replaced everyone with people from the Diana Church.’

Dana was soon guided to a room by a maid. Ironically, she was led to the bedroom she had used when she was Danae Windsor.

She sat on the familiar sofa and fell into thought.

‘The engagement ceremony is next week, and the wedding ceremony the day after that…’

After the wedding ceremony ended, she would have roughly one month left.

One month of life remaining.

So…

‘This is a good opportunity.’

Only priests of Ramun would come to the wedding ceremony.

But many distinguished guests would come to the engagement ceremony.

This was the most appropriate opportunity to take revenge on those who had deceived Lumiere.

What was it called? The shield-breaking operation? The operation that destroyed Lumiere and erased memories of her. Dana had read that report and roughly knew about those events.

‘It all happened because Lumiere loved me.’

Those who had watched and observed Lumiere from beside him all along. In other words, those who knew his weaknesses all too well had cooperated.

It was Sandra who trapped Lumiere.

And Miona who devised a scenario that Lumiere would fall for.

Finally, Rodrigo who put that scenario into action.

‘I’ll be visiting Rodrigo before long.’

First, she would obtain the Sacred Relic, extend her lifespan, and then go to him. Justio had promised to cooperate with her then.

In that case, it would be good to deal with the other two people at this opportunity.

‘Yes, there’s a perfect method for it.’

Dana waited, lost in thought.

For that man to come looking for her.

How much time had passed like that?

When the sun was slowly setting and red twilight was spreading, knock knock, the sound of knocking on the door was heard.

“Are you inside?”

Dana smiled.

Finally, he’s here.

“Dana.”

The maid had said Karl Windsor wasn’t at the estate.

She said he had been away from home for a long time, that she hadn’t seen him in ages.

But Dana was certain. That he would come to her.

‘I came to this house, so there’s no way you wouldn’t come.’

Knock knock.

“Are you inside, Dana?”

Her heart pounded rapidly. With surging emotions, Dana clenched her fists.

When she only stared at the door without answering, he asked dejectedly.

“Are you angry with me by any chance?”

“…”

“You don’t want to see me?”

“…”

“If so, I’ll go back, so please tell me.”

That question was disgusting.

You’ll wait until I open the door.

Dana was willing to do just that for him. She got up from her seat and walked slowly. Creak, when she turned the doorknob and pulled it open.

The shadow of the man standing in front of the door engulfed her.

“…”

Absinthe…

Those damned absinthe-colored eyes.

Looking at me like a rain-soaked puppy pretending to be pitiful, those eyes that always made me weak, that ultimately bewitched me.

Dana’s fingertips grew hot. Her face flushed with heat. They say if you’re enchanted by absinthe’s beautiful color and keep drinking, you become addicted before you know it.

Was it me who was intoxicated, or was it him?

“Please come in.”

When she stepped back, that man carefully entered the room.

Dana shut the door firmly.

She turned around and looked at him.

Karl Windsor… he too was looking at her. From Dana’s toes to her head, very slowly and calmly scanning upward.

Though there was no sexual intent at all, his eyes seemed to be simply checking her health.

Why do I feel as if your tongue is licking and passing over me?

The true time of madness hasn’t even arrived yet.

‘It’s because the sun has set, because the sun has disappeared….’

Believing that, Dana looked at Karl.

Clear eyes, gentle smile, warm expression, ah, really….

 

“That is the curse of the Windsor Family.”

 

She thought her heart would grow cold when she recalled those words, but instead it burned even hotter.

Whether this was due to the sexual allure emanating from Karl Windsor’s sharp jawline, or his firm nape, or his long, thick, beautiful fingers, or perhaps because of her own hatred toward him, she was so confused she couldn’t distinguish between them at all.

But Dana decided to choose one of them.

Because I was human, not a beast.

The choice was hers.

“Have you been well?”

“Has Dana been well?”

Have I been well?

Laughter came out.

I’ve been well. Very well. Thanks to living as Danawin for ten years, I learned that you consider me a curse.

“Let’s sit and talk.”

“Yes, good.”

Karl walked with her and sat on the sofa.

And Dana immediately climbed onto his thighs.

“….”

Karl held her waist so she wouldn’t fall, gazing at her intently.

It wasn’t a flustered look. He was just puzzled.

Dana simply smiled brightly.

“I really missed you.”

“I did too.”

Dana wrapped her arms around Karl’s neck. And hugged him tightly. This act of pretending to love him was truly tiresome, yet she couldn’t help but enjoy moments like this.

“I missed you so much.”

Karl seemed somewhat surprised by this situation.

Perhaps he thought she would be angry, throw a tantrum, or vent her frustrations.

The last time they saw each other was on the Red Ship. There, Dana had been very angry with him. She had even thrown her shoes at the back of his head.

But suddenly she was showing affection like before, no, even more than before.

“Is your body feeling better now?”

“Yes. I’m fine. Uncle, are you hurt anywhere?”

“Me?”

“On the Red Ship, His Holiness Pope Justio tried to harm you. You don’t know how worried I was.”

At those words, Karl’s eyes curved gently.

 

“That person is important to me.”

 

He must have recalled that moment, her crying out like that.

“I’m fine. Thanks to Dana.”

“I’m glad.”

With those words, Dana kissed Karl’s cheek. Perhaps it was too sudden a contact. Karl held his breath for a moment, then smiled somewhat stiffly as if uncomfortable.

“Wait a moment… Dana.”

“Why?”

“Could you move back a little?”

“I don’t want to.”

“Please.”

“Why?”

“Because Dana is so cute it makes my heart ache. Since it’s been so long, I need time to adjust to Dana’s loveliness.”

Your smooth-talking skills keep improving. You bastard.

Dana ignored those words and whispered while rubbing her face against his chest.

“I have a gift.”

“Hm? A gift?”

“You’ll accept it, won’t you?”

She acted as if she belonged to him, as if she would be his forever, as if she truly loved him.

Leading him to believe that, Dana smiled cheerfully.

“Please accept it, okay?”

In that moment, Dana saw Karl’s eyes looking down at her melt into ecstasy.

You do find me cute. At least that much is real.

“Of course. I like anything Dana gives me.”

“Really? You promise?”

“Yes.”

“Then please bring my gift to my engagement ceremony.”

“Yes. Yes… Yes?”

Karl’s voice cracked.

“Bring them?”

“Yes.”

Dana smiled.

“It’s a person. My gift.”

“…A person?”

“Yes.”

“….”

Karl smiled faintly while looking down at her.

His gaze demanding an explanation was so resolute that Dana didn’t want to tell him, but.

“Miona Cruzer, you remember her, don’t you?”

“Miona, you mean Alice’s friend?”

“Yes. Her.”

Contrary to her heart, her lips moved quickly.

“That’s my gift.”

No, actually she wanted to tell him quickly. What gift she had for him.

“I’ll give you Miona as a gift.”

“….”

Karl looked at her quietly. Still a smiling face. But he said nothing.

That silence was pleasure to her. Dana was swept up in an incredibly violent euphoria and deliberately whispered even more sweetly.

“Miona is a really good woman. So I definitely want to introduce her to you, Uncle.”

“Introduce?”

“Yes.”

“In what sense?”

“What?”

“As a woman?”

Chills ran through her. Goosebumps rose.

In this moment, the question Karl asked quietly was so wonderful, that quiet gaze looking into her, that low voice, was so, so good….

“Yes. As a woman.”

Dana grabbed his cheeks with both hands and smiled brightly.

“I’d like you to remarry Miona, but I won’t ask for that much. Just sleep with Miona once. Well, if you like her, you can sleep with her multiple times.”

“….”

“And I’d like you to escort me to my engagement ceremony, participating as Miona’s partner.”

“….”

“You promised you would accept, didn’t you?”

Dana smiled. She gave the most beautiful smile she could manage, to appear more lovely and beautiful to him than ever before.

“How is it? Do you like my gift?”
