Chapter 362

The next moment, the door opened with the sound of metal breaking.

Night wind flowed through the open doorway, and Dana’s hair fluttered gently.

And then came Viego’s voice.

“Dana. Come.”

Dana rose from her chair as if entranced. She stepped toward the door.

However, Dana’s body suddenly stopped.

When she slowly looked down, Karl was touching her fingers.

He wasn’t holding them.

He was simply caressing them.

Her fingertips, nails, each joint of her hand so delicately. It was such a fragile touch that would fall away if she moved, yet…

Why can’t I move as if I’m bound by chains?

But it was only for a moment. Karl was the first to let go of her hand. It was a gesture that showed not even a trace of lingering attachment.

“Be careful.”

It was like a farewell greeting. Though it was an incomprehensible parting word, she couldn’t stop now.

“Dana.”

Because his voice called out once more.

Dana walked step by step, as if entranced, until she finally stood before the door.

And she pulled open the door that was slightly ajar.

“…!”

Dana felt her breath catch.

He, Viego, was standing with the moonlight behind him.

“Come here.”

Viego extended his arm. He wrapped it around her waist and pulled her into his embrace. Dana obediently let herself be led by that force.

Outside the door. Outside the cabin.

Click. The door closed.

“Viego. I…”

But the next moment, Dana’s words were cut short.

‘What is this?’

Dozens of Holy Knights were surrounding the cabin.

Could they have come to capture me? Just as Dana was about to scream, Viego grabbed her chin and lifted it.

Immediately, his lips came down.

“…!”

For a moment, her mind seemed to go completely blank.

It felt like being kissed by a statue made of ice.

It wasn’t because his lips were cold. It was because there was no heat, no passion, not even any emotion in that action, that contact.

Viego pushed something into her mouth through their touching lips. That small, round pill-like thing melted the moment it touched her tongue. And…

“…”

And that was the end of it.

Viego pulled his face back. Dana looked at him in confusion.

This wasn’t a kiss. It was merely an act to prevent her from screaming. And to make her swallow something.

‘What did you make me take?’

She wanted to ask that, but strangely, her lips wouldn’t move.

It wasn’t just her lips. Her arms and legs, her entire body stiffened like stone in an instant.

‘My body won’t move.’

And Viego examined her face with very sharp eyes. In those cold observer’s pupils, Dana realized with a shudder.

Viego had done this.

What Viego had just made her swallow. That was what was now preventing her from moving.

And Viego was checking whether the drug was working properly.

Soon Viego grabbed Dana’s shoulder and handed her over to his attendant.

“To the carriage.”

“Yes.”

Viego’s attendant took Dana’s arm.

“Excuse me.”

Wait.

Wait, wait, wait!

Dana tried to put strength in her feet. Or rather, she wanted to. But as expected, she couldn’t resist. Dana walked obediently like a marionette doll, led by the attendant.

It was confusing. Why is Viego doing this to me? Why did he come here leading Ramun Church Paladins-

But soon an even greater shock struck her head like lightning.

In front of the carriage, she met eyes with a man wearing a deeply pulled dark green robe.

It was Pope Justio.

‘Why are you here.’

Dana glared at the Pope with wide eyes. The Pope silently watched Dana being led by the attendant’s hand.

But that encounter was brief, and Dana was soon led into the carriage by the attendant’s hand and seated.

“Please stay here for a moment.”

Click. The carriage door closed.

There Dana sat alone, frozen.

Her chest burned hotly. She couldn’t believe this reality where she couldn’t move. What Viego had done to her.

Viego was preventing her from interfering with whatever he was about to do. He was blocking her completely.

Probably because he thought she would be in the way. Maybe because he didn’t have time to explain everything. He was always pressed for time.

‘But this is my business.’

Perhaps because she was so angry. Thump thump thump. The rapid beating of her heart echoed in her ears.

‘This is my business.’

Hot emotion spread like flames to the top of her head.

Viego, no matter how precious and dear you are to me, you have no right to do this to me.

No one can do this to me.

But you’re generally like that. You always do so many things without my knowledge.

But not anymore. No longer, not you, and not anyone else…

Can escape my eyes.

Thump!

The moment her heartbeat pounded loudly, another eyelid snapped open. It looked down at her sitting trapped in the carriage, then instantly pierced through the carriage roof and shot up into the sky.

And with Giant Vision, it looked down at the cabin. That house surrounded by Holy Knights, inside that house, beneath the roof.

Viego who had entered the cabin at some point, and Karl greeting Viego.

“You came?”

Dana watched everything thoroughly.

Instead of being surprised, Karl greeted his nephew as if he had been waiting. Viego glanced at the messily crumpled bed sheets and passed by them indifferently.

“You came in faster than I expected.”

Karl was taking off his shirt.

On his solid back and shoulders, thick forearms were clear nail marks that Dana had left.

Traces of lovemaking that anyone could see were left by a woman writhing in pleasure beneath him. Karl showed them to Viego without concern, or rather as if showing off, as he put on a new shirt.

“I just got out of the shower, but I didn’t dry myself properly before putting it on, so the shirt got wet.”

“I see.”

“I’ll change quickly, so sit there and wait.”

“…”

Viego obediently sat in the chair.

“It would have been better if you came in a little later. I thought I could spend more time with Dana.”

Karl sat across from him, buttoning up his shirt. He smiled with his eyes narrowed into thin lines.

“It must have been hard to bear watching me have such a pleasant time with Dana. Did you perhaps smoke a cigarette too?”

“I’m a bit too busy to show such consideration, Uncle.”

“Of course you would be. I just said it out of regret. Playing with Dana was more enjoyable than I expected.”

Karl shrugged his shoulders.

“Enough that I somewhat understand why you lived with Dana long ago, even going so far as to play the role of a shepherd.”

“….”

Viego picked up the glass cup Dana had poured liquor into and took a sip.

“Do you perhaps remember what I said back then?”

“Sorry. I tend to forget trivial memories.”

Karl spoke gently with a softly smiling face.

“Come to think of it, I do remember you resenting me when the Upper Village People burned to death.”

It was a statement that would have earned him another severe beating if Dana had heard it.

However, Dana was not present, and Karl Windsor no longer disguised himself with the face she favored. Karl had only pretended to act like a sinner in front of Dana.

Of course, this side was more familiar to Viego.

“So, are you going through all this trouble because of that? To get revenge for merely annihilating that one small village?”

“As I said, I don’t have time.”

Thud.

Viego set down his glass and looked at Karl. He spoke with utterly calm eyes.

“Do I look idle enough to spend time on such trivial matters?”

“No. That’s why it’s strange.”

Karl chuckled and cast his gaze toward the window where darkness had fallen.

“You came swarming like a pack of dogs just to catch me. If you fail, your reputation will be ruined, Viego.”

“That won’t happen, so you don’t need to worry about my reputation.”

“I don’t understand why you’re so confident.”

Karl’s eyes held genuine curiosity.

“Do you really think I’ll be caught?”

“….”

“Because I drank the distilled liquor?”

Karl tilted his head while caressing the wine glass with his fingertips.

“Rather than going to the Papal Court’s infamous torture chamber, well… don’t you think I’d run away even if it meant doing something very cowardly?”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

Viego was silent for a moment. Then he spoke slowly.

“Because if Uncle doesn’t go to the torture chamber, Dana will have to go instead.”
