Chapter 305

 

 

 

 

* * *

 

Lete looked at her silently for a moment before opening his lips.

“To the library.”

“Huh?”

“I will go to the library.”

“What? Right now?”

“I have been neglecting my education in that area. I will go read books and learn.”

“….”

“So just wait a moment.”

What is he saying….

As Lete really tried to leave, Dana got up from the sofa. No, we don’t have time right now-

And at that moment.

“Ah!”

A piercing pain struck her chest like lightning. Dana let out a short scream and collapsed back down.

“Miss!”

Then she heard urgent footsteps rushing over.

“Miss, are you alright?”

No, I’m not alright.

Dana sat curled up on the sofa, gasping for breath.

She had been fine when sitting still. But suddenly trying to move, the pain felt like her heart was being torn out and she couldn’t breathe.

“Miss, there’s blood….”

She had thought the bleeding had definitely stopped, but blood was flowing out again. As red stains spread across her white dress, Lete’s face froze.

“May I examine it?”

“Yeah….”

Lete very carefully leaned her body against the sofa backrest, then slowly pulled down her top.

The next moment, Lete’s expression hardened. He discovered a reddish, swollen wound on her pale chest.

He asked in a low voice.

“What stabbed you?”

Only after seeing that devastated expression did Dana realize her wound was quite serious.

“Alice stabbed me deeply with a hair pin.”

“When.”

“Around noon today.”

Even thinking about it now was shocking and chilling. She had thought Alice was possessed by some ghost.

“Alice became a bit strange. She wasn’t such a violent kid before-“

“Why.”

Lete cut off Dana’s words sharply.

He seemed to be restraining something with all his strength, but finally couldn’t hold back and shouted.

“Why haven’t you gotten treatment until now!”

What a shock!

Dana’s eyes widened as she flinched. Lete glared at her with resentful eyes, raising his voice.

“There are many Holy Mages in the Great Temple who can perform healing arts. So why did you neglect this!”

Lete is yelling at me. Lete is….

He soon seemed to try to calm down, taking a moment to catch his breath, then spoke stiffly in an extremely cold voice.

“I’ll treat it first.”

“Y-yeah.”

Lete removed his white gloves from his right hand somewhat irritably, then immediately extended his bare hand.

However, his hand froze just before touching. He seemed to belatedly realize that the wound he was about to touch was in an intimate area.

But the hesitation was only momentary, as his hand immediately moved over the wound. At that moment, sharp pain rushed in and Dana screamed.

‘It hurts!’

Tears naturally welled up, and Dana’s shoulders trembled.

“Does it hurt?”

“Yeah, a little.”

“It’s going to hurt more from now on.”

Soon after, pure white light burst from Lete’s hand. That light began to seep into her wound.

“Ah, ah.”

Then the pain really did get worse. As she trembled silently, Lete spoke in a voice suppressing his anxiety.

“Healing this kind of stab wound normally involves pain. It’s the process of getting better, so please endure it a little more even though it’s painful.”

I don’t know how time passed after that.

When the terrible pain disappeared, Dana was gasping for breath, completely soaked in sweat.

“You did well.”

“…Is it over?”

“Yes.”

Dana blinked blankly. She was completely exhausted and couldn’t move at all.

Knowing her condition, Lete tried to dress her instead. Her top had somehow slipped down to her waist.

However, his hand soon stopped. Long streaks of blood had flowed down to her sides.

I need to wipe that off first.

Thinking this, Lete slowly moved his gaze.

Dana’s pure white hair was wet with sweat, clinging strand by strand to her smooth skin. From shoulders to arms, following the curves to her back and waist….

Suddenly a drop of sweat slid down over those graceful body lines. The moment he saw it flow down like dew and gather at the tip of her chest, Lete removed his glasses without hesitation. After placing his silver-rimmed glasses on the table, he stood up.

“Miss, please wait a moment.”

And shortly after, he brought a basin with warm water and a towel. He wiped her wet body with the dampened towel.

“Lete….”

Dana whispered softly while breathing heavily.

“Can you see well even without your glasses?”

“There’s no problem with moving around.”

“This is the first time I’ve seen you raise your voice.”

“It’s my first time too. Yelling at someone.”

“So you really were worried about me.”

Perhaps that comment was absurd. Lete stared at her sharply, then soon seemed to realize he was being overly emotional and lowered his gaze.

“If it had been stabbed wrong, your life would have been in danger.”

Lete sighed.

“Why didn’t you get treatment right away?”

“It wasn’t on purpose. I have something I need to do right now, but a sudden variable came up and my head was complicated.”

“Are you talking about what you mentioned earlier?”

“Yeah.”

“Is that such an important matter to you, Miss?”

“Yeah.”

“More than taking care of your body?”

“That’s not it.”

“Don’t lie.”

Lete gently wiped her damp stomach with the towel while muttering.

“Right now Miss looks like someone who wouldn’t care if she died immediately.”

As expected.

There was nothing she could hide from Lete. Perhaps because she had experienced too much, Dana was not afraid of death. She had reached a state of enlightenment, one might say.

‘Well, when I finished my time travel and came back, I had asked Justio to kill me.’

This was better than that time. Thanks to the holy magic Justio had cast on her, she wasn’t in that state now.

‘Right, anyway, I absolutely cannot die now. Not yet.’

Because there were things she had to do.

“It’s not that I don’t care if I die.”

Then Lete looked at her as if he couldn’t understand.

“Then why don’t you cherish your body, Miss?”

That was when it happened.

 

“I told you not to treat your body carelessly.”

 

For some reason, Dana became very dazed.

When was it… It seemed like before, someone else had lectured her like this too.

Dana stopped breathing for a moment. Her heart ached as if it would fade away, then quickly became warm.

“The proposal you made to me earlier is the same. Don’t you know that’s treating your body carelessly?”

She felt strange. No, it felt familiar.

This was definitely the first time she’d received such a lecture. Why did it give her such a heart-stirring familiarity?

“I know you were pushing me because you found me annoying. But Miss, that’s not harassment. It’s quite the opposite. If I had been a bit more shameless, I would have pretended to be insulted by you and obediently followed along.”

Was it because he had taken off his glasses?

Lete felt unfamiliar. Dana listened to his words in a daze, captivated.

“I’m not that shameless.”

Her heart beat rapidly. An uncontrollably warm sensation spread through her chest.

“You have changed, Miss.”

“I suppose so. I came back from time traveling.”

“Excuse me?”

“I lived for a very long time before coming back.”

For some reason, she felt like talking.

Was she enchanted by that voice that had briefly passed by like a hallucination? Or was it because she saw Lete truly worrying about her and raising his voice?

At this moment, her heart had become mysteriously gentle, to the point where she even had the rare desire to lean on this person who worried about her.

“I don’t know if you’ll believe me.”

So Dana spoke softly. About what she had experienced falling into the cracks of time, especially the past 10 years. The life she had lived as Danawin.

Since she had lived longest as Danawin, that life had the greatest influence on her. Then Dana stopped speaking. Lete’s eyes had reddened.

“…”

Her mind went blank.

She had watched Lete since he was a young boy.

But today, it was surprising enough to see him raise his voice for the first time, and now she was witnessing his eyes redden too.

Today was truly a strange day.

“Was it painful to listen to? I was talking too one-sidedly…”

“No.”

Lete said quietly.

“Please continue.”

“It was just… like that. So now I really don’t mind telling you such things at all. I’m truly worn down.”

Dana confessed plainly.

“If you’re disappointed that I’m different from the old me you used to like.”

“No.”

Lete put down the towel.

“That can’t be.”

His voice, his Adam’s apple trembled.

Dana instinctively embraced Lete. Because he looked like he was about to cry, instinctively, automatically, she moved that way.

Lete’s hot eyes pressed against her chest, but there was no moisture. However, she could feel so clearly that he was in the mood to cry.

How long had they stayed like that? After a while, Lete muttered in a cracked voice.

“Please… let me go.”

Dana let him go. By then, Lete’s eyes had dried, but his face, his body was burning hot.

“I’m sorry.”

“…”

“I’m sorry.”

Lete’s expression returned to the beginning again.

Only his expression returned to the beginning.

Tick.

At that moment, she heard the sound of a clock’s second hand moving. Dana felt a sensation as if awakening from a dream.

Right, time was passing. Sandra would come soon.

It was the moment Dana was about to reach out to Lete.

Lete quickly grabbed her wrist and instead placed his hand over her face.

“Ah!”

Light burst from the hand covering her face. Pure white light colored Dana’s vision.

“I told you not to treat your body carelessly, Miss.”

“You…”

“Don’t try to touch me so easily. It will dirty your hands, Miss.”

“Lete, you.”

“Don’t defile your body with me, Miss.”

And her vision, her consciousness began to blur.

No way.

“You’ll wake up in ten minutes. It’s holy magic that also helps with stamina recovery, so don’t worry.”

“You, you…”

The back of her head felt numb. She had let her guard down because he looked infinitely fragile like a young boy, but to pull something like this!

Who gave him permission to put her to sleep without asking!

“I’ll follow orders so that things go according to your plan somehow.”

Darkness was approaching.

Lete said like a sigh.

“Please rest for a moment.”

Dana fell into sleep.

And exactly ten minutes later. Dana woke up from her sleep.

Then she was lying neatly on the bed, changed into clean new clothes.

And Lete was nowhere to be found.

 

* * *

 

Fortunately, Lete kept his promise.

A few hours later, Sandra Rolland went completely insane. She came to believe that she herself was Alice.

“You must have really loved Alice.”

Dana caressed the cheek of the insane Sandra.

“I find it curious that you loved Alice that much. When you hated Brother Lumiere so much.”

“Huh? What are you talking about? I don’t know what you mean.”

“Right. Then.”

Dana smiled brightly. With this, her revenge against those who had ruined Lumiere was over. Almost, nearly over.

She suddenly became curious.

Was Alice really dead?

She wasn’t sure about that.

She had seen Lyos carrying Alice and running somewhere from a distance. Seeing him run so urgently, it seemed she wasn’t dead yet or there was a way to save her.

 

And finally, the next day.

The day of the wedding had dawned.

In the early morning, Duke Windsor’s carriage entered the Great Temple.
