Chapter 356

* * *

Ignis had left.

He had gone without even saying goodbye.

Diane, who heard this story from Karl, was deeply saddened.

‘I thought we could stay together for a while….’

Diane held a kind of comradeship toward Ignis. Weren’t they both Rodrigo’s test subjects?

She had wanted to help Ignis with his new beginning by his side. But to think he would leave like this.

Diane crossed the plaza with deflated spirits. In the plaza, preparations for tonight’s burning ceremony were in full swing.

They said they would hold the burning ceremony for the Ramun Church Holy Knight today, which couldn’t be done yesterday due to rain….

That’s when it happened.

“….”

Diane suddenly stopped in her tracks.

And with a face like someone who had just awakened from a dream, she looked around, then suddenly sat down with a thud on the dirt floor. She hurriedly pulled out dozens of cards from her bag.

“Diane? What are you doing?”

“What are you looking at?”

People who recognized her spoke to her, but Diane ignored them. She flipped the cards face down on the ground and laid them out in a long line. Then she quickly drew several cards and checked the pictures.

And she was horrified.

“This doesn’t make sense.”

Diane hastily gathered her cards and began running toward home very quickly.

“Karl!”

Bang, she opened the door and entered to see Karl Windsor sitting by the bedside. He was still nursing Dana.

“Karl Windsor!”

Diane ran over and grabbed his shoulders, shaking them.

“Run away!”

Karl glanced at her. Diane continued urgently.

“Escape, quickly!”

Diane had undergone many experiments at Rodrigo’s hands.

Although she was a failure and didn’t possess purification abilities like Dana, nor the insight to see through time.

“You’re in danger if you stay in Shalom!”

Instead, she had gained transcendent intuition.

This intuition activated very occasionally without warning, and when she read fortunes at such times, they would come true frighteningly accurately.

And just a moment ago, after a very long time, her intuition had awakened and she had read the cards.

A terribly ominous fortune had appeared.

“Something very terrible will happen to you tonight!”

“So?”

What’s with that deflating response! Diane grabbed his shoulders and shook them.

“Are you listening to me? You’re in tremendous danger! I just read the cards, and the pictures in the cards told me. The greatest disaster you’ve ever experienced in your life is approaching!”

“I see.”

“I’m not joking! You know too! My intuition usually sleeps, but once it awakens, the fortunes I see then have never been wrong even once!”

“Yes. I know.”

“The cards said that if you spend the night in Shalom like this, you’ll be ruined. So run away quickly before it gets dark!”

Karl placed his hand on Dana’s forehead to check her fever and answered leisurely.

“Alright. I’ll leave.”

“When will you go?”

“When Dana wakes up.”

“How do you know when Dana will wake up!”

“Whenever that may be, I have to wait. Moving in this condition would be too much for Dana.”

“You could just leave Dana behind!”

“How can I leave Dana when she’s currently being hunted as a witch?”

Looking at that stubborn back of his head, Diane felt an intense urge to grab and tear out all his hair.

Suddenly she remembered Rodrigo’s old grumbling. That trying to move Karl Windsor was like trying to move the sea. That neither conversation nor persuasion worked with that guy.

“…Fine. Do as you please.”

Diane quickly gave up and headed to the kitchen. She opened the herb storage, grabbed a handful of rosemary, and threw it over the fireplace flames. Then she muttered.

“If there’s a way for Karl to avoid crisis, tell me…. How can he avoid disaster….”

Gray smoke curled upward. Diane stared intently at the smoke.

Beyond the smoke, some shape flickered.

“Apple… green apple?”

The next moment, the smoke gently dispersed. Diane turned and grabbed Karl’s shoulders.

“You heard that just now, right? Apples, especially unripe green apples, be careful! If you just avoid that tonight, you’ll be able to escape the crisis!”

Diane hurriedly opened the food storage and pulled out fruit. She took out all the green apples, then soon became anxious and also took out the red ripe apples, putting them in a basket.

After repeatedly confirming that there were no apples left in the house, she picked up the apple basket and stood up.

“I’m going to give these to the horses in the stable. And I’ll buy all the apples being sold in this area and give them as feed to the pig pen.”

“Thanks for your concern.”

Look at him speaking as if he has no interest at all!

Diane barely restrained herself from wanting to throw a green apple at his head.

“Just in case, don’t come outside the house before tonight passes. And don’t let anyone into the house. I won’t come in today either, and I’ll make Noct stay out too. Even if someone knocks on the door, you absolutely must not open it!”

“Okay.”

“In case someone might accidentally bring apples inside, I’ll wrap the door handle with chains so no one can enter at all!”

“Okay.”

“I’ll open the door tomorrow. So you must get through tonight safely.”

Even as she said this, Diane suddenly became frightened. She felt like she might cry.

Another very intense intuition struck her that today would be the last time in her life she would see Karl Windsor in one piece.

Her fortunes had never been wrong until now. Not even once.

Diane earnestly prayed that this time would be the first exception.

“Be careful of green apples, Karl!”

* * *

“Dana.”

At the precarious boundary between dream and reality, a voice could be heard.

“Recommend … to him.”

It was a man’s voice she knew.

One she loved so much. One who suited the moonlight of night so very well….

That quiet voice spoke resolutely.

“The time has come.”

The next moment, Dana’s eyes snapped open.

Immediately she faced a summer forest. Green eyes looking down at her quietly. These eyes….

“Viego?”

The moment she muttered that name, she realized.

No.

It wasn’t Viego.

She had just been dreaming of Viego until a moment ago, but she wasn’t Viego. The person in front of her was…

“Are you coming to your senses?”

It was Karl Windsor.

He must have heard her muttering, but Karl acted like someone who hadn’t heard anything and placed his hand on her forehead.

“Fortunately, your fever has gone down quite a bit.”

Dana stared at him blankly before groggily sitting up. In the dark room, moonlight streaming through the window dimly illuminated the space.

It felt like she had dreamed something.

It seemed like she had seen so many things.

But she couldn’t remember clearly.

“…How long was I unconscious?

“About a day.”

“…”

A day…

Dana looked at Karl.

Her last memory was rejecting Ignis in the pouring rain and lashing out at Karl.

And before that, she had gone to the ranch and seen Danawin’s coffin…

“Absinthe.”

Dana turned to the side. Danawin’s thought entity had appeared again and was smiling brightly.

“It’s over there.”

Dana shifted her gaze to where Danawin was looking. On the dining table sat a bottle filled with green liquor.

“Absinthe.”

With those words, as if her task was complete, Danawin’s thought entity quietly disappeared.

Right…

Dana licked her dry lips.

She had speculated that he would have a sacred relic, and decided to try giving him absinthe.

To do that, she couldn’t get angry. She needed to maintain a sweet atmosphere and naturally offer him the drink.

Since they had recently spent intimate time together, she could easily create that kind of mood.

But…

“First, drink this.”

Dana glared at Karl. Karl had already prepared warm chamomile tea and was offering it to her.

Dana struck the teacup with the back of her hand. Crash! The sound of the teacup breaking noisily echoed.

“Do you think I’d want to drink tea that you’re giving me?”

This was really strange.

Suppressing emotions and saying things she didn’t mean was something she was very good at. But.

“I hate even being in the same space as you!”

But she couldn’t do it.

Her reason flew away with the hot emotions that burst out all at once. Her body didn’t have the energy for this, yet her heart absolutely wouldn’t calm down.

Dana shouted fiercely.

“Should I tell you what I want? To bring the dead villagers back to life. No. At least gather the ashes of those you burned and make graves for them!”

A trickle of blood ran down Karl’s cheek. He seemed to have been cut by a fragment of the teacup she had smashed.

“Or give me the sacred relic!”

But Dana didn’t stop and continued shouting.

“That sacred relic you claim to have lost, finding it again and bringing it to me—that’s what I want. How about it? Can you do it?”
