Chapter 301

 

 

 

 

 

Miona felt like she was dreaming.

Finally, finally it was tomorrow.

Tomorrow she would marry Karl Windsor!

“I will guide you to the bridal chamber.”

The Imperial Grand Temple of Ramon. To be married in this temple, second in grandeur only to the Papal Court of the Papal States, was a privilege reserved for royalty or the highest-ranking nobles.

“This is it.”

The priest who had been guiding her stopped in front of a room.

Unusually, the door was adorned with silver ribbons, lace, and clusters of walnuts decorated with pearls.

‘This is it.’

A door marked with the bride’s insignia.

This was the bedroom prepared for the bride on the night before her wedding.

“May Ramon’s grace embrace you this night, and may his light guide tomorrow’s sacred union. Rest in peace.”

After the priest gave his lengthy blessing and left the room, Miona maintained her elegant, upright posture until the door closed.

Click! The moment the door shut, she leaped onto the bed.

“Kyaaah!”

It feels like a dream!

Tomorrow I’ll share a bedroom with Karl Windsor!

She couldn’t believe it and kept bursting into laughter.

Really, she had switched sides at just the right time. From anti-cult leader Rodrigo to sister Dana!

Working under Rodrigo all this time, she had gained enormous wealth.

But the one thing she couldn’t have until the end was love. Only the one man she loved.

 

“Tell Rodrigo that you’re cutting ties with him since you’re marrying Karl Windsor, Miona. Then I’ll give you Karl Windsor as a gift.”

 

When sister Dana said she would give her that love.

There was no reason to refuse.

And sister Dana really did give her Karl Windsor as a gift.

“Hehe.”

Miona looked at her ring. It was an amber ring that Karl had sent to her through a servant.

As fate would have it, he sent this ring when Miona was with sister Dana.

She recalled sister Dana’s expression when she saw this ring.

‘I’ve never seen that expression before.’

Miona clearly witnessed the spark that flashed in Dana’s eyes at that moment. And Miona had a premonition. No, she was certain.

‘Those two are fighting right now.’

There was definitely some kind of conflict between Karl Windsor and Danae Rolland.

And Miona was being used as their pawn in the middle of it all.

It didn’t matter.

Fights always end eventually.

But by then, Karl Windsor would be her husband.

Since she was so pleased with the reward she would gain, Miona was willing to become their chess piece.

Just then, she heard a knock. Knock knock.

“Miona, it’s me.”

It was Alice’s voice.

“Can I come in?”

“Yes. Come in.”

The door opened and Alice entered. For some reason, her face looked dark.

“Tomorrow is your wedding. Congratulations in advance, Miona.”

“Thank you.”

Alice’s eyes moved to Miona’s glowing face, then to the wedding dress hanging beside the bed.

“Um…”

“Yes?”

“You know, I have a favor to ask.”

“What is it? Tell me.”

“Tomorrow… could I be your proxy at your wedding?”

“…”

Miona blinked.

What is she talking about right now?

Alice grabbed Miona’s arm with a desperately urgent expression.

“I also made you my proxy at my wedding, didn’t I? So I want to be the proxy at your wedding too.”

It was absurd, but this wasn’t the first or second time Alice had thrown such a tantrum.

Previously, when Alice had caused a big incident in Windsor Territory and was punished with confinement at a monastery, hadn’t she asked Miona to go in her place?

So Miona responded without panic.

“Alice. Back then you were pregnant and sick. You weren’t in any condition to hold a wedding, so I became your proxy. I’m perfectly healthy right now.”

“So… you’re saying no?”

“Yes. You know that marrying Karl Windsor has been my lifelong dream. That would be difficult.”

“…”

Alice’s face turned pale. Her hands trembled, and finally her quivering lips opened.

“You’re really selfish, Miona.”

“Huh?”

“Tomorrow, tomorrow was supposed to be my birthday party.”

“What?”

“Do you really have to get married at my birthday party?”

This time even Miona was flustered.

Of course tomorrow was Alice’s birthday.

But Alice’s birthday party?

Tomorrow was supposed to be the engagement ceremony between sister Dana and Duke Viego Windsor in the first place, wasn’t it?

“But even after stealing my birthday party, you don’t feel even a little sorry toward me?”

Tears welled up in Alice’s eyes. It was a look of genuine resentment.

“I’m giving up my birthday party to you too, aren’t I? So you could give up the bride role to me, couldn’t you?”

“Alice.”

“You even played the bride role instead of me at my wedding. So this time you could yield to me, couldn’t you?”

Alice’s voice grew faster.

“Why won’t you yield even one thing? You stole the bride role at my wedding, now you’re stealing my birthday party, and you’re even going to steal my father?”

“A-Alice.”

“I gave you everything – my wedding, my birthday party, my father. But you? How can you not yield even one thing to me? How can you be so selfish? Why do you only think of yourself?”

Miona was completely speechless.

Had Alice always been this unreasonable?

No, not to this extent, definitely not to this extent.

‘Why has she become so strange?’

The Alice of the past was always cheerful and optimistic. She was just a naive and innocent noble lady with a simple, pure charm, with only one problem – insomnia.

But at some point, Alice began getting depressed easily and turning dark easily. It was worrying enough.

But to act like a crazy woman to this extent.

“Stop it, Alice.”

“Miona! Please! Huh? Huh? I’m begging you like this.”

“Alice, you’re the one who should please stop.”

“You, you, are you going to keep taking everything away from me until the end?”

“Alice. I’ve never taken anything away. Why do you think that? Besides, tomorrow isn’t your birthday party, it’s….”

“Please! Stop making excuses!”

Alice burst into tears, wailing and stamping her feet.

“How could you betray me like this after how well I’ve treated you all this time!”

She sobbed and wailed like a child.

“How can you not give me even one thing? You take away my wedding, my birthday party, everything, but you won’t even be my bridal substitute?!”

At the end, she was practically screaming in fury. Alice was sincere. She was genuinely hurt and upset by all of this.

“Why do you, alone, why do you try to monopolize everything! Me too, me too-!”

“Please calm down!”

Slap!

Miona struck the frenzied Alice across the cheek. Alice stared at Miona in a daze, holding her face.

Miona… did she just hit me?

Miona?

My maid?

“Really, there’s a limit to how much I can indulge your tantrums.”

Miona was also breathing heavily, as if angry.

“Asking me to give up my wedding, how can you make such an absurd request?”

“You, you….”

“Absolutely not, so stop this now and go back, please. I’m saying this as someone who will be your stepmother.”

At those words, Alice heard something crack and break somewhere in her head.

Miona is going to become my stepmother?

Miona, who took away my wedding. Who took my birthday party. Who took my father. Who took even my wedding dress to get married.

She’s going to become my superior? Miona?

Suffocating anger and resentment washed over her, making this situation feel terrifying. Alice’s body began to tremble from that overwhelming emotion.

“Not knowing your place….”

She spoke in a crushed voice while trembling all over.

“You were drowning in debt, a beggar….”

What am I saying.

I don’t know. I can’t say such cruel things.

“You clung to me, barely managing to survive, and yet, with such audacity, now you stab me in the back?”

Ah- yes. It’s because of Miona.

I don’t want to say such things, but Miona stabbed me in the back, she betrayed me.

So Miona deserves to hear such words!

“…Alice, you.”

Miona muttered with a bewildered face.

“You’ve been thinking of me that way all this time?”

“Did I say anything wrong? You beggar!”

Alice burst into tears and screamed.

“When you didn’t have money for a single meal, you followed me around and got your meals! You came to our house often because you had no food to eat, did you think I wouldn’t know!?”

Yes, that’s how it was!

“You beggar, not knowing your place, not knowing gratitude!”

I pitied that poor and pitiful beggar and showed mercy, letting her have meals, giving her dresses I didn’t wear, lending her living expenses!

“I helped you because I felt sorry that you had no father, how can you trample on my heart like this!”

With that echoing scream, silence fell.

After a moment, Miona opened her lips.

“Alice, you’re truly ugly.”

Miona smiled crookedly as if she didn’t want to deal with this. With mocking eyes, as if watching Alice rant like a madwoman.

“This is why your husband can’t love you.”

“….”

At that moment, pitch-black darkness seemed to pool at Alice’s feet. That black, black thing.

“Even if I were Emperor Justio, I would have liked Sister Dana instead of you. At least Sister Dana maintains her dignity wherever she is. Unlike you, who doesn’t have even a speck of dignity.”

Each of Miona’s words seemed to strike her head and turn her brain to mush.

“Why? You know it too, don’t you. That Emperor Justio’s heart belongs to Sister Dana, don’t all those who should know already know?”

No… she wanted to deny it, but her lips wouldn’t move.

Because it came to mind.

Her husband’s voice, his moans, as he called Sister Dana’s name desperately while masturbating alone.

“Oh, and you said I have no father?”

Miona crossed her arms and giggled. She seemed to get angrier the more she thought about the words.

“At least I know who my real father is. Unlike you.”

“…What?”

“You. You’re not Karl’s real daughter.”

“….”

Alice stared blankly at those lips while tears streamed down her face.

Miona’s lips, the evil lips of the betrayer she had believed to be her closest friend.

“Sandra had an affair with another man and got pregnant with you.”

Lips no different from a demon’s.

“Oh, but you do share blood with Karl. You’re not Karl’s daughter, but his half-sister, Alice.”

A tongue like a demon’s.

“Don’t you know Sandra Rolland slept with every man in the Empire? Her father-in-law was one of them too. Hahaha!”

A demon’s laughter.

A demon.

That’s a demon.

Demon. Demon. Demon. It’s a demon!

“With such origins, making unfilial remarks about me having no father, aren’t you embarrassed?”

The demon turns around. Behind it, black demon wings seemed visible. Black, huge, evil, wicked things.

A chill washed over her. Disgusting. Scary. Such a thing shouldn’t exist. Such a thing-!

“So hurry back, Alice….”

Stab.

The sound of flesh being pierced.

The sensation of flesh being pierced flowed through Alice’s hand.

“Huff, huff.”

Alice gasped for breath.

Miona was… somehow Miona was right in front of her.

Right in front, very close, staring at her with wide eyes of disbelief. Then she suddenly coughed up blood.

“Cough!”

Bright red, very bright red blood.

“Cough, cough!”

Afraid it might splatter, Alice stepped back in surprise.

And at that moment, she realized she had been holding a candlestick all along. The candlestick that had pierced Miona’s stomach.

Why was I holding that?

“Ah, ahh.”

Miona slid down smoothly.

Alice just trembled and stepped back one step at a time. Her thoughts creaked as if her mind had broken.

What? When did I rush at Miona? Why is there a candlestick stuck in Miona’s stomach?

Why was I holding it?

“Ah, ahh.”

The fallen Miona twitched her fingers, then moved her lips as if trying to say something.

Eventually, it came to a complete stop.

The convulsions, the breathing, all of it.

“Hah, hah.”

All she could hear was her own overwhelming moans. Alice gripped her hair with her hands as if tearing at it.

“Hah, hah, hah, hah.”

What do I do? What do I do? What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?

It looks like it’s dead? I think Miona is dead!

Did I kill him? Me?

A massive wave of dizziness washed over her. Her head spinning, Alice simply muttered.

“No. I didn’t do it.”

I didn’t kill anyone. I didn’t. It wasn’t me who did that. I….

Thud.

At that moment something bumped into her back, and Alice spun around in alarm.

“Ah….”

A pristine white wedding dress hung on a hanger, gleaming brightly.

The moment Alice saw it, she forgot even her fear, forgot even her shock, and stared blankly at that beautiful dress.

Really, this dress was so beautiful.

The breathtakingly beautiful wedding dress that tomorrow’s bride will wear.

Miona was supposed to wear it though….

Miona looks like she’s dead right now…

But Miona can’t get married tomorrow….

In that case….

‘I could wear it instead?’

Hehe.
