Chapter 34
What did I just hear?
“Isn’t this proof that you were just waiting to break up with the Crown Prince?”
It felt like something had struck me in the head. Heat rushed to the back of my skull, burning hot.
As I stared at him speechlessly, Noah crumpled up the love letter and threw it toward the floor.
“You’re being too reckless just because that body isn’t really yours, aren’t you?”
“What?”
“You’re carelessly tarnishing it because the Windsor Family isn’t really your family, isn’t that right?”
What was happening right now?
I couldn’t understand a single word Noah was saying.
But one thing was clear.
Right now, I was being terribly insulted.
“What grounds do you have for saying such things?”
“Why? Did you think no one would know what you’ve been up to?”
Noah glanced mockingly at the newspaper.
“We know everything. How you’ve been tarnishing the Windsor Family’s honor.”
“What do you mean I’m crazy about men? Me?”
My emotions flared up instantly, and Dana swallowed once.
“And what do you mean I’m being reckless because I’m not the real owner of this body?”
“Your secretary.”
“Why Lete?”
“He’s your lover, isn’t he?”
What?
Lete?
“I knew it. I could tell from the moment you brought that handsome man as your so-called secretary.”
“What grounds do you have for saying that?”
“I heard it all from Alice.”
Ah…
Alice.
Dana let out a breath. Alice.
Come to think of it, Alice had brought this up recently. Something about how I shouldn’t be involved with my secretary…
‘I told her it was a misunderstanding.’
But she’s been going around spreading it as if it were true?
“That’s Alice’s misunderstanding.”
“Don’t be ridiculous. Alice saw you two acting indecently together in the room.”
Alice said that?
Indecently, in the room, me, with Lete?
And she told Noah about it so explicitly?
Anger boiled up from deep in my stomach.
At Alice. And.
And at Noah.
“We were just talking at close distance.”
“Ah, so that’s what you tell other people?”
“I’m only telling the truth, Noah Windsor.”
“Really? I didn’t know. I’ve only ever heard lies from you.”
“…”
“You’re a liar, aren’t you? You like deceiving me, don’t you?”
Noah’s flashing eyes seemed wrapped in flames. That gaze, as if looking at a sworn enemy of a thousand years…
Dana deflated instantly.
‘Believe it or not.’
What did it matter?
Why am I making excuses like this right now?
Thinking that made me feel empty.
Right, what did it matter how that kid thought of me?
Really, it didn’t matter at all.
“And Justin Lancaster is my classmate. When did you give my dear friend any encouragement?”
Noah pointed at the love letter and spat out viciously.
“I guarantee you, if Justin knew you were a promiscuous woman with a lover, he wouldn’t have sent such a letter!”
A promiscuous woman.
“Noah. You know what.”
I smiled sweetly at the glaring Noah.
“Do you even know what that means?”
“What?”
“You keep calling me promiscuous, but do you even properly understand what that word means?”
At those words, Noah clenched his fists tightly.
“Are you… looking down on me right now? Do you think I’m a child?”
“Yeah. That’s how you look to me.”
“I know everything I need to know! Don’t treat me like an idiot!”
“But if you really knew, you wouldn’t use such words carelessly. Noah. Promiscuous.”
I grabbed Noah’s shoulder as he tried to step back.
“What that means is.”
I whispered in his ear.
Very explicit words and sentences.
“…!”
Sure enough, Noah’s face turned bright red instantly. He shook off my hand and hurriedly stepped back.
“A-are you crazy! How could you say such filthy words!”
“You’re saying I did those filthy things.”
Dana said indifferently and shrugged her shoulders.
“The reason I don’t slap your cheek is exactly that. Because I thought you didn’t properly understand the meaning. Because Noah, you’re still.”
Looking Noah up and down, Dana smiled brightly.
“You’re still a baby, aren’t you?”
“A-a baby? Me?”
“Yes. A baby who turns completely red just from hearing words of that level.”
Now Noah was red up to his neck, trembling his lips. Dana continued without interest.
“And Noah. I.”
I bent down and picked up the newspaper.
“I didn’t think of the Windsor Family as someone else’s family.”
Until recently, that was true.
I really thought of this house as my own home. I thought of you as my family too.
No, I wanted to become your family.
I’m sorry for thinking that way. It must have disgusted you…
Swallowing all those words, Dana smiled.
“If you’re done with your business, please leave.”
* * *
A moment later, the Secretary entered.
Then he sighed and immediately applied ointment to Dana’s cheek.
There was a thin scratch, apparently cut by the newspaper Noah had thrown.
“I’m sorry, Miss. Because of me.”
“What do you mean because of you?”
“It seems you’re suffering from unnecessary scandal because of me… I’m ashamed.”
Dana chuckled.
“What are you saying? Don’t say such things with such a nonchalant face.”
The Secretary quietly looked into Dana’s face and asked.
“Miss.”
“Yes?”
“Should I create burn scars on my face?”
“…”
“Then those rumors might disappear.”
“…”
This guy is serious.
“Lete.”
“Yes, Miss.”
“Don’t say such foolish things.”
“Pardon?”
“You were born with such a handsome face, why would you ruin it?”
“But…”
“Never say such things again.”
She wanted to stroke Lete’s face as a gesture of comfort.
‘No, wait.’
Her hand, which had risen to shoulder level, hesitated.
‘Lete is an adult now.’
How old was Lete this year? Was he twenty?
This guy is an adult now, fully grown. So I can’t stroke him like I did when we first met, treating him like a boy.
Dana placed her hand on his shoulder instead of his face and said.
“Don’t worry about whatever people say behind your back.”
“I don’t care about that. It’s just that you, Miss.”
The Secretary paused for a moment, then took a deep breath.
“I hate that you have to hear such dog-like nonsense.”
“…”
He must be angry. Using such harsh language, so unlike him.
But strangely, Dana was moved by that profanity.
‘Lete truly cares about me.’
Right. Lete is my person.
Not ‘Danae Windsor’s’ person, but my person whom I discovered and found myself.
When I obtain the Sacred Relic and return to my world, what will happen to Lete?
…What do you mean what will happen.
Of course he’ll live well. He’s not a child…
‘Thinking he can’t live without me is arrogant of me. And it’s also disrespecting Lete.’
Lete is a smart guy, so he’ll live his life well.
He’s truly capable – as far as Dana knew, there was nothing Lete couldn’t do.
‘I should leave him a generous severance pay when I go.’
Dana smiled with relief.
“It’s fine, so let’s stop talking about this now.”
Then she sprang to her feet.
“Today will be a busy day, Lete. So get ready.”
* * *
The Branch Manager smiled proudly.
The front page of the newspaper was plastered with Ritten Bank.
With articles about Danae Windsor becoming a customer of Ritten Bank!
‘Really, it was fortunate that the bank had plenty of Gold Coins that day.’
Was it thanks to those articles?
The bank was bustling from early morning. Customers who used other banks – even those who mainly used Windsor Bank – had come!
That’s when it happened.
“Branch Manager!”
A Bank Employee came running frantically.
“Danae Windsor, she’s come again!”
“Oh! Is that so! She came early in the morning!”
The cash cow has arrived!
“Quickly escort her to the VIP Room. No, wait. I’ll go myself, so tell her to stay in the Lobby!”
To advertise to other Customers, it would be better to serve her at the public counter!
The Branch Manager ran out excitedly. And.
“We meet again.”
“Yes! Welcome, Lady! What can I help you with today?”
“The same as yesterday.”
Huh?
The Branch Manager’s face hardened. What did she just say?
When Dana gestured, Men in Black Suits entered the bank again. It was those same guys from yesterday!
Thump, thump, thump.
Several Black Bags were placed on the Desk.
Don’t tell me this is…
“One hundred billion Franc.”
Dana said with a bright smile.
“Please exchange it for Gold Coins right now.”
