Chapter 304

 

 

 

* * *

 

10 minutes before Miona and Karl’s wedding was set to begin.

“The groom has disappeared!”

Karl Windsor had vanished.

When Dana heard the news, she felt like her heart might burst. Thump thump thump thump, her pulse raced wildly as emotions overwhelmed her.

I knew this would happen.

No, I didn’t expect this at all.

Two conflicting emotions crashed over her, leaving her caught in an indescribable feeling she didn’t even want to explain. Dana headed straight to Karl’s room.

“I’m, I’m so sorry.”

There, Karl’s personal servant was kneeling and apologizing.

“What the hell did you do to make my fiancé run away!”

In front of him, Miona in her wedding dress was crying and shouting.

“Why are his clothes in such a state!”

“I, I don’t know. There was definitely no problem before.”

“But!”

“Yes, he requested a glass of whiskey before changing into his formal wear. When I went to get the whiskey and returned, the formal wear was ruined like that…”

Dana looked at the wedding suit hanging on the wall. It was the outfit she had personally gifted him to get under Karl’s skin. But…

“Someone burned it with cigars!”

That was right.

There were circular burn marks scattered across the black satin. And several cigars piled up in the ashtray…

Someone had definitely pressed cigars into the clothes and burned them.

“I, I don’t know either. When I brought the whiskey, the clothes were already like that.”

“So!”

“Because the clothes were ruined… he said he didn’t want to get married wearing that…”

The servant pointed to the window with a trembling voice.

“He suddenly opened the window and left…”

Dana bit her lip to hold back the burst of laughter that threatened to escape.

This isn’t a comedy. What the hell is he doing.

“Calm down, Miona.”

For now, Dana stroked Miona’s back and gestured to the servant.

“You should leave and look for where Karl is.”

“Ah, understood.”

Once the servant left, Miona began crying in earnest. Still in her dress, she collapsed to the floor and cried like a child.

“Waaaah!”

“Calm down, Alice.”

“Huh, huh… huh?”

Miona blinked.

“I, I’m Miona though?”

“You’re Alice.”

“…No I’m not.”

“Yes you are.”

“No, I’m not!”

Fine, whatever. Dana sighed.

“Since Karl Windsor seems to have run away, you should hurry and return to your real face.”

“Wh, wh, what are you talking about!”

“You must have received an antidote to neutralize the drug’s effects. Drink that and return to your real face. And give up on marrying Karl Windsor with Miona’s face.”

Dana had learned about Alice and Nita’s plan over a week ago.

At that time, Dana was using Miona as bait to lure out Sandra.

‘Sandra wouldn’t just stand by and watch Karl remarry.’

In the process of meeting with Miona, Dana encountered a familiar face.

It was Nita, Alice’s maid.

‘Isn’t she the woman who worked under Rodrigo since childhood?’

It was a face Dana had seen when she was Danawin Windsor. Nita was one of the laboratory researchers that Rodrigo particularly favored.

But now she was working under Alice?

Finding it suspicious, Dana lured Nita out.

 

“Hello, Nita. I have a message for Rodrigo.”

 

To Nita who came when called, Dana blew just a tiny bit of corruption from her magic core—

 

“Eeeek! Please, please spare me!”

 

Seeing her body rot in real time, Nita panicked and spilled everything.

Indeed, fear was the greatest motivator.

 

“I don’t know the details either. Rodrigo told me to grant everything Alice wants!”

“What does Alice want?”

“Alice wants to impersonate Miss Miona and marry Karl! I delivered drugs to help with that!”

 

It was truly absurd. Dana thought Alice had finally gone insane, but.

Dana wasn’t too worried.

‘Miona wouldn’t give up her wedding to Alice.’

But who would have thought Alice would actually kill Miona!

Dana never dreamed Alice had such a violent side.

Well, Alice had more than one or two surprising aspects.

At first, when she witnessed Alice having an affair with Lyos, it was the same. She never knew Alice had this side to her.

And that wasn’t all?

 

“Alice gave Miona detailed information about Lumiere.”

 

Dana’s lips twisted as she recalled Nita’s words.

 

“Even knowing Miona had some scheme, she told her everything. She was usually very dissatisfied that Lumiere favored Danae Windsor more than herself.”

 

Also, Dana never knew Alice was a hidden collaborator in that damn .

 

“She didn’t know the details about that operation. But since she mainly told things that could be Lumiere’s weaknesses… she definitely knew it would harm Lumiere.”

“Are you certain?”

“Yes. I once heard her muttering to herself, wondering if Miona was trying to harm brother Lumiere.”

“And despite that, she told Miona everything about Lumiere?”

“Yes.”

 

Dana smiled coldly.

It would have been a disaster if she had overlooked Nita.

I almost forgot about Alice.

The information Alice provided would have been used to create the ‘purgatory’ that Rodrigo made to break Lumiere’s mind.

That terrible virtual hell world where someone’s weaknesses and pain repeat like eternity.

Alice handed over information that helped construct Lumiere’s purgatory.

Knowing it would harm him.

However, unlike Sandra and Miona, Alice was merely an indirect accomplice at best…

‘So I’ll have to leave the rest to your fate.’

Before executing the plan, I decided to give Alice a chance to escape.

“Give up the marriage.”

Throwing out insincere advice, hoping she would escape that tragic fate.

“Karl Windsor won’t come anyway. So return to your own face and forget all about this.”

“No. I’ll wait in the bridal chamber until he comes.”

“You’d better not.”

“Who are you to say such things, sister?”

“What?”

“I know everything. You’re trying to steal my wedding, aren’t you? Sister has already taken so many things from me.”

Alice clutched her head. Her hairpins came loose and her hair became disheveled.

“Father changed after sister appeared. Father used to like me, he used to cherish me, but ever since sister came, everything…”

Alice, who had been muttering like a madwoman, suddenly raised her head and looked at Dana.

“Or did sister seduce Karl? Tell him not to marry? To ruin this wedding? Because you didn’t want to lose the spotlight at today’s party?”

“That’s not it. Just calm down first-“

“Sister was always like that. You could never tolerate me getting any attention. Always, always-!”

The next moment, Dana hastily stepped back. A burning sensation stabbed her chest, and a short scream burst out.

“Ah!”

Alice had pulled out a hairpin and stabbed her with it.

In the left chest.

“Ah…”

Fortunately she dodged, and her chest protected her heart.

But the intent was so clear it was bewildering.

“You just now.”

Dana stepped back, clutching her stinging chest. Her face turned pale.

“Were you trying to kill me?”

If that hadn’t been a hairpin. If it had been a dagger or a long candlestick, she would have been seriously injured. Maybe even her life would have been in danger.

“Answer me. Alice, were you trying to kill me?”

“Ah, ahh…”

Alice looked at her bloodied hairpin with a confused face. Then she hurriedly threw it into the fireplace. As if destroying evidence.

“Wh-what are you talking about? Sister, why are you suddenly saying strange things?”

At that moment Dana realized.

Indeed, mercy was a luxury she couldn’t afford.

“Right. Whatever happens, it’s your karma and your fate.”

Dana turned around.

After that, Karl never returned, and Miona’s wedding was canceled. Dana also canceled her engagement ceremony, using the excuse of feeling unwell.

The wedding guests would complain bitterly, and the Windsor Family’s prestige would fall- but she didn’t care.

Viego Windsor hadn’t come anyway, using the excuse that he would only attend tomorrow’s wedding.

‘And I really am hurt.’

In her room, Dana pulled down the neckline of her dress to examine her left chest.

The bleeding had stopped now, but it was swollen red and throbbing with pain.

‘Should I ask them to call a priest who knows holy magic.’

Just then, knock knock, the sound of knocking came.

Perfect. I should ask them to call a priest.

“Come in.”

The door opened with a creak and footsteps could be heard. But they stopped abruptly after just three steps.

They had stopped urgently in place.

Dana realized it wasn’t a maid and quickly raised her head.

“…Lete?”

Lete stood there with his head turned away.

At his sudden appearance, Dana hurriedly pulled up her clothes to cover her chest. And doubted her own eyes.

It really was Lete.

“It’s been a long time, Miss.”

He spoke without looking at her. Dana stared at him blankly, then asked coldly.

“Where the hell have you been and what were you doing to only come now?”

“I’m sorry.”

“Didn’t you know I had awakened?”

“No. I’m sorry.”

Dana narrowed her eyes. He’s avoiding answering?

“Were you perhaps carrying out other missions given by Lyos or Viego?”

He didn’t deny it.

In other words, that was correct.

“What mission did you carry out?”

“I’m sorry, but it’s difficult for me to tell you.”

What is this…

Dana lost her words and glared at Lete. Suddenly, she realized that his complexion, with his head turned at an angle, was much paler than before.

Whatever. He must have carried out a difficult mission.

“Are you refusing to listen to me now?”

Betrayal boiled up and Dana snapped coldly.

“Then disappear from my sight.”

“…”

What.

Why isn’t he leaving.

“I told you to get out right now. I don’t need a fickle person like you. Disappear immediately and don’t appear before me.”

“I am someone who works for Miss.”

“What?”

“So please reconsider once more, Miss.”

His brazenly defiant attitude made her blood pressure rise.

Having listened to other people’s orders until now and only coming now, to act so shamelessly.

Was it because of his quiet and beautiful face? She felt like she was looking at a kept man who acts nonchalant even after being caught cheating with another woman.

“Asking me to reconsider?”

His brazenly defiant attitude made her blood pressure rise. Dana crossed her legs defiantly.

“Right, you’re quite stubborn. I noticed it from when you insisted you wouldn’t go to the Academy.”

Even while being sarcastic, her mind was spinning sharply.

Right now, being angry was one thing.

‘Right, that’s that and this is this.’

For now, she had something to do.

‘Sandra will definitely come.’

According to Nita’s information network, Sandra would arrive at this Great Temple soon.

She was said to be extremely angry.

‘But if she finds out the two didn’t marry, her anger will subside.’

Sandra must believe that the two definitely got married. Definitely.

Dana finished her calculations.

“Fine. Then if you do what I tell you, I’ll take you back.”

“Yes.”

“Go sleep with Alice.”

“….”

“Alice is wearing Miona’s face right now, you know? Her heart must be hurt since the groom who was supposed to marry her today ran away, so go comfort her sincerely.”

Lete was silent for a moment. However, he soon opened his lips as if to answer—

But before that, Dana waved her hand dismissively.

“I’m joking.”

“Pardon?”

“No matter how much I hate you, would I really make you do something like that?”

Of course, it wasn’t for that traitor’s sake. There wasn’t enough time for that anyway.

What was needed now was creating a button that would make Sandra go berserk.

Evidence that the two had slept together.

That alone would be sufficient.

“Here.”

Dana picked up an empty glass bottle standing on the nightstand and held it out to him.

“Sandra will come soon to raid the bridal chamber, and at that time we need a scent that will convince her the newlyweds have already consummated their first night.”

“….”

Lete slowly took the glass bottle.

However, he seemed not to understand what she meant. His sculpture-like face was simply expressionless, as if he was repeatedly mulling over what Dana had said in his head.

“Don’t you know what I mean?”

“…I’m thinking to understand.”

“….”

Since his face showed he genuinely didn’t know, Dana suppressed her irritation and explained.

“Do you know how babies are made?”

Lete looked up to meet Dana’s eyes. His pupils behind his glasses held a slight bewilderment.

“I know that much.”

“Good. That’s a relief. There’s a man’s role in that, you know. Put that in here.”

And if he spilled it in the bridal chamber, that would be the end of it. Sandra, sensing the scent, would lose all reason and have a fit. Dana could guarantee it would definitely lead to murder.

“How about it. Better than sleeping with Alice, right?”

“….”

“Why aren’t you answering?”

Lete only blinked his black eyes silently.

This was the first time she’d seen him look so cornered, which was somewhat fascinating. Even when he was a penniless boy with nothing, he was always calm and composed….

“How to do it…”

After a moment, Lete confessed in a very low voice.

“I don’t really know the method.”

“….”

“I’m sorry.”

What is this supposed to mean.

He doesn’t know?

“Haven’t you ever masturbated or anything?”

“No.”

“Haven’t you even heard talk about how to do it?”

“There’s no one around me who talks about such things.”

Ah.

Good heavens.

This can’t be.

‘I really should have sent him to the Academy, even by force.’

That way he would have hung around with boys his age and learned various things!

Come to think of it, Lete had no history of having friends or lovers.

He must have been too busy working as a subordinate serving various masters until now. Where would he have learned how to masturbate in the midst of all that.

‘This guy really.’

Even though she didn’t want to feel sorry for that impudent traitor, she also felt pity for him.

What exactly was Lete’s life composed of?

He’s not a child. He’s an adult. In his early twenties.

To think he’s never had the freedom or leisure to taste such experiences even once….

I must be feeling this way because I’ve known Lete since he was young.

“Sit here, Lete.”

Dana sighed and called him to sit beside her.

“I’ll teach you.”
