Chapter 313

 

 

 

* * *

 

Cardinal Dominic was riding his horse with all his might. He fled with all his strength, praying in his heart.

‘Forgive me, Sun God. I have failed to destroy that woman’s soul.’

Recently, he had been receiving divine revelations through dreams.

Dana. It was a revelation that he must eliminate that woman.

Not simply killing her, but annihilating her very soul.

So he argued countless times to Pope Justio.

 

“That woman must be officially declared a witch and subjected to burning at the stake to incinerate her soul!”

 

However, the Pope firmly refused.

 

“To declare someone a witch, we must go through a formal witch trial and prove that fact.”

 

Of course, that was the church’s rule. But.

‘How can we put that woman on trial for witchcraft!’

Dominic was frustrated by that orthodox response.

That woman had not yet committed any crimes. Moreover, under the protection of a ducal family, she was someone they couldn’t even meet carelessly, so how?

 

“She has done nothing wrong yet, so there is no justification to put her in the courtroom, Your Holiness!”

 

Then the Pope replied.

 

“We cannot brand a woman as a witch when there is no justification to summon her to the courtroom.”

 

In other words, the Pope did not take Dominic’s dreams seriously.

So there was no choice. He had to practice his faith unilaterally.

Although he failed to kill her soul at the wedding venue…

He couldn’t leave like this.

‘I’ve prepared a trap.’

In the Great Temple, there was a dimensional space called the ‘Hall of Repentance.’

It was an ancient courtroom that investigated whether one had committed the seven deadly sins forbidden by Ramun, essentially testing priests.

If trapped there, the seven sins committed in life would be revealed, recorded, and His Holiness would also learn that woman’s true nature.

‘So he will understand why I’m doing this now.’

Dominic was fleeing after stealing numerous holy relics.

He had stolen a holy sword that cuts through dimensions and time, a divine mirror that could summon desired beings, and more.

And he planned to deliver these to Rodrigo Windsor.

Because the Sun God had commanded him to cooperate with that man.

This fact would soon be discovered, and the Papal Court would declare him a public enemy.

‘But if His Holiness examines that woman’s sins thoroughly and acknowledges she is a witch, he will forgive me.’

And he would understand.

That all of this was devotion born from faith.

 

* * *

 

It happened very suddenly.

 

“Your Holiness the Pope, I’ll just have a brief conversation and return.”

 

Dana promised Justio.

 

“I’ll promise to go directly to Rodrigo Windsor, so please wait just a moment.”

 

Then Justio let her go. He seemed to have finally abandoned the thought that she would flee.

Dana nodded to Viego.

 

“Here, let’s talk in my bedroom.”

 

Her room was right in front.

Viego approached obediently. Dana immediately turned the doorknob and opened the door.

The moment she opened the door, brilliant light engulfed her. At the same time, blue arrow-like beams of light rushed toward her…

Viego blocked in front of her.

And.

‘Where on earth is this place?’

They were sucked into a very strange place.

Pure white mirrors reflected dazzling light, stretching endlessly. The walls, floor, and ceiling – it was a bizarre corridor made entirely of mirrors.

Dana realized where this was.

‘Could this be the Hall of Repentance?’

When she was Danae Grants, High Priest Dominic had ranted several times that she should be thrown into this prison.

“We’ve been had.”

Viego also clicked his tongue. Dana temporarily forgot her hatred for him and asked.

“Do you know where this is?”

“A courtroom that verifies the seven deadly sins of priests.”

Viego seemed irritated as he tugged at his tightly fastened cravat.

“I’ve heard about it. Though I never thought I’d end up here.”

Dana suddenly noticed a very faint blue pattern glowing on his forehead.

That looks… like a shamanic circle.

“Wait a moment.”

The moment she approached closer to get a better look, Viego backed away surprisingly quickly.

“What.”

“…”

“Move aside.”

She suddenly felt angry.

Am I some kind of plague patient? Will he catch a disease if I get close?

“I was trying to look at your forehead. It looks like there’s a shamanic circle drawn there, so I wanted to check…”

“There’s nothing to check. I’m the one caught by this spell.”

He took another step back and answered stiffly.

“I’m the one whose seven sins will be exposed here.”

“…”

As expected.

The blue beams of light that rushed forth the moment the door opened. That was a spell from the Hall of Repentance, designed to make someone the subject of judgment here.

Viego had taken that spell in her place. By blocking in front of her…

“…”

But she didn’t want to thank him. She harbored too much resentment toward him for that.

“Let’s go for now.”

Viego walked forward, gripping his cane.

“Do you know how to get out?”

“Once all my seven sins are revealed, an exit will appear.”

He showed no signs of hesitation or fear. He simply hurried his steps like someone pressed for time.

“Will you be okay? I might discover your shameful past.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

Well, this man is someone who knows no shame.

Dana walked silently through the mirror corridor. Everywhere she looked, she and Viego were reflected, making her feel eerie.

“Tell me your business now. It seems we’ll have to leave immediately once we get out of here.”

As if anyone enjoys talking with you. Dana asked without hiding her displeasure.

“Why did you plant a magic core at the wedding venue?”

“….”

“Did you want to corrupt the priests’ divine power to expand Diana’s influence? Is that why you suddenly decided to hold a wedding?”

“Yes.”

I knew it.

It was all for his own benefit.

“You are the most despicable and disgusting person I know.”

“….”

So what. That’s what.

That’s what his gaze seemed to ask. Far from being displeased, his expressionless face showed not even a scratch, which only twisted Dana’s mood further.

Well, it was always like that. He always treated my words like the fluttering of a fly’s wings.

“I have about 30 days left to live. Is there really no way to extend this?”

“The thought entity in your head should have told you.”

Yes, it told me.

An absurd method.

“The method of extracting a Roland bloodline’s heart and using it as energy?”

“Yes.”

“I’m not a vampire, and I have no intention of living by sucking other people’s lives. Isn’t there any other method besides such a grotesque way?”

“You won’t die anyway. Other bodies are prepared.”

“That’s not the problem. I don’t want to forget my current memories.”

At those words, Viego momentarily stopped. But it was so brief that it could be dismissed as a mistake.

“Why?”

He starts walking again.

“You must only have terrible memories.”

“That’s true.”

“Don’t you want to forget such memories instead?”

What is he saying. Dana grumbled irritably.

“There are bad memories, but there are good memories too.”

There’s also information that must not be forgotten.

“So no matter what happens, I will protect the memories I have now.”

“…Protect them?”

“Yes. Because my memories have that much value.”

“….”

There was no response.

Dana glanced up at him. Had something in her words bothered him? Just as she thought Viego’s jaw seemed to have hardened—

The mirrors spread out on both sides rippled like waves. Their reflections that had been shown until now disappeared—

Something completely different began to emerge.

‘It’s starting.’

Viego Windsor’s seven sins, let’s see what they’re like. Dana walked with a sarcastic mind.

The first thing that caught her eye was a blue grass field.

It was a scene unfolding from someone’s subjective viewpoint, and no sound could be heard.

A sheep could be seen leaning against what appeared to be a boy’s thigh. Flutter, a small hand turned a page of a book.

Dana immediately noticed.

‘This is a scene from young Viego’s perspective.’

Sheep and books. These were things that symbolized Viego’s boyhood.

Then, Viego’s vision moved. His gaze left the book and slowly moved to the side.

And it stopped on a woman.

‘That’s… me.’

It was Danawin Windsor.

Brushing back her pure white hair rippling in the wind, Danawin approached. Slowly, gently, the moment of her walking flowed as slowly as if giant hands had grasped time…

Their eyes met.

Brightly, Danawin smiled.

That scene was so surprisingly beautiful that it was bewildering. Her vision ached and tingled as if she had looked at the midday sun. It was like the descent of an angel, so it didn’t even feel human.

Dana swallowed in great surprise.

She could guarantee that she was not that beautiful.

No, there was no being in the world as beautiful as that.

But that’s how it looked in young Viego’s eyes.

Danawin Windsor, so unrealistically beautiful…

 

Greed

 

Red letters appeared over the mirror.

For a moment her head felt dazed as if struck by a mace, then eventually throbbed.

What?

What?

Without time to straighten her reason, the scene immediately changed.

This time it was the walking path of Windsor Estate.

In the distance, a man and woman were walking affectionately together. Lyos Grants, and Danae Windsor.

Before Lyos had his affair, when he was an endlessly affectionate fiancé…

And Viego was standing at a distance, quietly watching that scene.

The trajectory of his gaze went to her fingers gripping Lyos’s arm, then slowly climbed up and stopped at her sunny smile.

That smile directed at Lyos.

His gaze lingered on her laughter for a very long time.

Dana’s fingertips trembled as she secretly watched. Her mouth felt completely dry.

Was sharing someone’s vision such a naked experience?

The emotions of the observer were felt so blatantly.

The heart boiling hot, the chest twisting with a crunch, and at the same time this feeling of becoming infinitely base…

 

Envy

 

“That’s a lie.”

Dana whispered without realizing it.

“That’s a lie.”

Then an unexpected answer was heard.

“Why.”

Dana looked up with a blank face.

Without even looking at her, Viego walked forward and said strangely.

“Shouldn’t I?”
