Chapter 30

* * *

It had already been a week since this article came out.

Dana closed the newspaper.

A week had passed, but Dana hadn’t thrown away this newspaper and often opened it to read. It was to maintain her vigilance.

‘Karl killed him.’

Sending him to Court Prison. She thought that would be the end of it….

“Lumiere.”

“Yes.”

“We need to kill Juan.”

It had flowed exactly the same as what she had glimpsed from her future memories.

So even though the intermediate process had changed, it really must have been Karl who killed Juan.

‘And to kill him so cruelly at that.’

Dana shuddered once again at Karl’s cruelty. He really was a frightening person, contrary to his outward appearance.

Sandra, who heard the news, had fallen ill and still couldn’t get up.

‘Karl Windsor. I thought he was a devoted husband, but apparently not.’

Dana newly realized that she had been in tremendous danger.

If she had continued living like that, she really would have been murdered.

That day. If she hadn’t overheard her uncle and aunt’s secret conversation.

If she hadn’t heard that plan to shorten her life.

‘Right. I would have died without a trace like Juan.’

So she needed to return to her original world quickly.

There were too many crazy people in this place.

If she continued living here, she might die at Karl’s hands.

She frequently looked at this newspaper to not forget that fact.

In that sense, learning about Lyos and Alice’s affair was truly fortunate.

‘It’s all thanks to that letter.’

The anonymous letter that sent photographs of Lyos and Alice and exposed their affair.

If it weren’t for that, she would still be living as a foolish idiot.

“Lete, still haven’t found the sender?”

She had assigned the task of tracking down the letter’s sender, but there was still no news.

“Yes. Since it wasn’t a letter that came through the official Post Office, it seems it will take more time.”

“I see. Let me know when you find out.”

Dana closed the newspaper.

Anyway, she had achieved her goal.

As a result of all this chaos, Karl Windsor had been temporarily stripped of his deputy head position.

Also, Dana had kept her promise to the Emperor completely.

The promise to turn the Moonlight Flower into trash.

Now the Moonlight Flower had fallen to a commodity that was no longer mysterious or precious.

‘But I can’t end my connection with the Emperor here.’

Because she needed to break off her engagement with Lyos.

If she couldn’t break the engagement, she couldn’t even dream of becoming deputy head.

Even if she pushed Karl out of the deputy head position. Even if Viego recognized her abilities.

If she couldn’t break off her engagement with Lyos, the deputy head position would never come to her. Then she wouldn’t be able to get the Sacred Relic either.

‘So I need to get the Emperor’s help to pursue the engagement annulment as well.’

The Emperor.

When she thought of him, the back of her neck throbbed again. If possible, she never wanted to face him again.

However, without his help, breaking the engagement was impossible.

So she needed to meet him quickly to negotiate….

‘I heard he went to the Papal Court now.’

That was puzzling.

Wasn’t the current Pope a representative figure of the New Church Faction?

Surely his relationship with the Emperor, who was definitely Orthodox Sect, would be extremely bad, so what business could he have.

‘Anyway, I need to go meet him as soon as the Emperor returns.’

There were things to do while waiting.

Viego Windsor.

She needed to gain recognition from the head of the Windsor Family. She had to somehow make a good impression and rise to the deputy head position.

But why was it so hard to see his face.

Since there was no opportunity to talk with Viego alone, she hadn’t even been able to say thank you yet.

That night, if he hadn’t put a bullet in Juan’s arm, she would have been in terrible trouble….

“Miss.”

“Hm?”

“Today is the day of Master Noah’s public promotion exam.”

“….”

So that was today. Noah’s public promotion exam.

‘I said I would go to Noah’s.’

A few months ago.

“Noah, this year’s promotion exam will be conducted publicly, right?”

“What’s it to you? Mind your own business.”

Of course, Noah had responded coldly at that time.

Still, she had tried hard to speak affectionately.

“I’ll definitely attend this year’s public promotion exam. I’ll come with a flower bouquet.”

“No, don’t come. Just imagining it disgusts me.”

“What flowers do you like, Noah? If my memory is correct, I think Noah liked daisies.”

“If it’s from you, I hate whatever it is.”

She couldn’t help but laugh.

She really had clung to him pathetically all this time.

“I’m not going.”

Dana said, cutting off her laughter abruptly.

“I’m busy enough as it is. Where would I go?”

Even if he went, he would only get scolded by Noah, and now he didn’t want to bother with such pointless efforts.

“Lete. Please find out where Brother Viego is right now.”

If that side was avoiding him, fine.

‘I’ll go find him myself.’

* * *

“Noah Windsor. Victory!”

The swordsmanship advancement exam.

Noah Windsor claimed victory in the tournament finals. Waaa— cheers could be heard from the spectator seats.

“Noah Windsor. Victory!”

The shooting exam was the same. Perfect accuracy. Even from a great distance, he could see as if it were right in front of him.

“Noah Windsor. Victory!”

The physical combat exam was the same. Though Noah had a slender build, he easily defeated students several times larger than himself.

‘Of course.’

A public advancement exam like this was truly bothersome.

Since general spectators were allowed to watch, didn’t this make him like a monkey in a zoo?

‘Making such a fuss.’

Even the cheers pouring from the audience toward him were just annoying.

That woman was probably clapping from up there too.

Thinking that made him sneer. As if he’d be happy about someone doing that?

‘She must be thrilled. Since Sister Alice’s business failed, how pleased she must be.’

He swept his gaze across the spectator seats.

Though it was quite a distance, with the Windsor family’s remarkable eyesight, he could make out every face.

He saw plenty of familiar faces, but…

‘What?’

That woman wasn’t there.

Had she stepped away for a moment?

However, he couldn’t find the woman even until the award ceremony ended.

“Noah. Didn’t your sister come?”

His classmate Justin Lancaster asked.

“Sister? Who?”

“Lady Danae Windsor. Didn’t she come?”

“How would I know?”

“She must have come, right? She takes such good care of you.”

“I don’t know.”

“I’d like to see her, even from afar…”

Noah frowned. Wanting to see her even from afar—he wasn’t even a devoted fan.

“Why do you want to see my sister?”

“She’s pretty.”

Justin Lancaster clasped his hands together with a dreamy expression.

“Pure like a single lily, elegant, and just sitting quietly she seems to have some story… No, I don’t mean she’s only pretty on the outside.”

Embarrassed, Justin cleared his throat.

“Ahem, anyway, I once saw her purifying the Corrupted Land, you know? I thought she was an angel. The pitch-black earth turning white—”

After saying that, as if realizing his mistake, Justin looked around frantically.

“Keep it secret from His Highness the Crown Prince that I said this. You know?”

“Whatever. He probably doesn’t care now. His Highness the Crown Prince is completely smitten with Sister Alice right now.”

“Oh. That was real? Then can I talk to her now?”

“…My sister is still His Highness the Crown Prince’s fiancée.”

“Ah. Right. The engagement hasn’t been broken.”

Justin let out a regretful sigh as if just remembering.

“Then that won’t work. Never mind. Pretend you didn’t hear that. You absolutely can’t tell His Highness the Crown Prince, okay?”

“Hmph. How boring.”

Noah scoffed.

What was even more ridiculous was that there weren’t just one or two guys like this.

There were countless guys who admired Danae Windsor from afar.

‘They’re all deceived. Just like I was deceived.’

Suddenly, the moment he first saw Danae Windsor came to mind.
