Chapter 55

* * *

Dana hurriedly went to find the Military Academy. However.

“Cadet Lancaster? I don’t see him. He seems to have gone out without permission again.”

The Dormitory Supervisor clicked his tongue as if this was a common occurrence.

“Do you know where he went?”

“Well, I’m not really sure… But are you alright? You’re soaked all over.”

“Never mind that, think carefully. There must be somewhere he would go.”

Dana pressed Gold Coins into the supervisor’s hand. Then the supervisor cleared his throat.

“Cadet Lancaster actually frequents the Entertainment District on Rozart Street. Try looking there.”

The Entertainment District on Rozart Street?

Among entertainment districts, it was famous for being particularly low-class and of poor quality. A military cadet frequents such a place?

‘Let me go there first.’

There wasn’t a moment to hesitate. Dana headed straight for the Entertainment District on Rozart Street without delay.

However, Dana stopped at the entrance to the street.

‘This won’t work.’

I should have brought someone with me. Why did I come alone?

She had rushed out in panic, thinking Justin might be killed at any moment.

But if she entered that street full of red lights alone…

‘I’ll become a target.’

Rozart Street was an Entertainment District for criminals. Already the smell of drugs wafting through the air and the menacing gazes full of greed made her feel repulsed.

If she went in alone, her own life could be in danger…

There was no way.

‘No.’

There was a way.

A method that might possibly work.

She had never tried it even once, but still…

‘Maybe, it could work.’

Dana slowly knelt down on the ground. And brought her trembling fingertips to touch the earth.

Ground Memory Reading Ability.

That Ability had always suddenly rushed over her like a flood, then receded like the tide.

But perhaps, still, just a little.

Like moisture soaking into sand, perhaps a little remained.

So.

‘So, show me.’

Dana asked the ground.

Show me. Where is Justin Lancaster right now?

At that moment Dana gasped and held her breath. All the energy in her body drained away as if being absorbed into a whirlpool.

And she saw.

Where Justin Lancaster was right now.

Dana was so startled that she jerked her hands away from the ground as if having a seizure. And collapsed like a Doll with cut strings.

It wasn’t from shock. It was because all the strength had drained from her body.

Was it because she had summoned this Ability? She didn’t even have the strength to sit up anymore.

‘No.’

I need to get up quickly.

Dana squirmed and pressed against the ground. Wait, maybe there’s no need to rush now. Because.

Justin Lancaster was already dead.

The scene she had seen today in the Garden of Justin Lancaster being murdered. That wasn’t a vision of the future.

‘It was the past…’

Justin Lancaster was already dead.

“Hey there, miss.”

“Are you someone who works here too, miss?”

Someone was tapping her shoulder. But Dana couldn’t even respond.

Her head hurt.

Her ears were ringing.

“What a beauty, how much? Huh?”

Rough hands grabbed Dana’s wrist. Trying to force her to stand up.

Let go.

Not having the strength to say that, Dana fumbled under her skirt at her thigh.

The Pistol Viego gave her was there.

She was planning to pull out the Gun first to threaten them.

“Aaaahhh!”

Crack.

With the sound of something breaking, the man’s grip fell away.

“You, what are you! Ahhh!”

Thud. The sound of being punched and falling. Screams. And even the sound of hurried escape.

She only heard the sounds.

‘Who is it?’

Dana lifted her head in an exhausted state.

“Miss.”

The Secretary was looking down at her as if troubled.

“Why did you come to such a dangerous place alone?”

Ah, thank goodness.

Dana felt completely relieved at that moment. The person she trusted most in this world had appeared.

“The Forest.”

But this is my limit. I used my Ability too much…

“Search the nearby Forest. Justin Lancaster has been murdered…”

With those words, she lost consciousness.

* * *

Dana remained unconscious for a full two days.

When she opened her eyes again, the Newspaper was plastered with articles about Justin’s murder.

‘As expected.’

He’s dead.

But before she could even absorb the shock, an even more sensational follow-up article appeared.

It was a terribly horrific article.

After reading the article, Dana felt her sadness completely disappear.

“No way, what the hell….”

What kind of trash is this?

I thought he was an innocent boy, but he was actually backing a women trafficking organization?

‘Well, the entertainment district on Rozart Street is a place only criminals frequent anyway.’

The fact that he frequented such streets meant he wasn’t normal to begin with.

To think Justin was such a disgusting criminal.

‘Good riddance. That bastard.’

Reading the article about Justin purchasing a seven-year-old girl, Dana cursed.

Disgusting. To think I received love letters from such garbage!

‘I’m glad I didn’t accept those flowers back then.’

However, despite such thoughts, she couldn’t help feeling disturbed.

‘Because Justin mentioned my name before he died.’

That he wouldn’t approach Danae anymore, so please spare him. Please spare him.

Those were Justin’s last words.

In other words, he was killed because he had approached her.

‘Just what kind of lunatic would do such a thing.’

Ridiculously, there was a face that came to mind.

Lyos.

He was extremely jealous. So much so that sometimes he felt terrifyingly scary.

Slapping a noble young master who asked her to dance, fracturing his cheekbone.

Breaking all the fingers of someone who sent her love letters.

Punching the eye of a man who secretly watched her from behind, bursting his blood vessels.

If it was that crazy Lyos, then perhaps.

‘But there’s no way Lyos would do that now….’

Because our love has already ended.

Then shouldn’t his obsession with me have disappeared too?

‘Or maybe that’s just his nature.’

His possessiveness might be so strong that he can’t tolerate anyone coveting what’s his, the crazy bastard.

It was confusing.

She knew Justin wasn’t a good person, but still.

The cause of his murder was her.

“Danae, I won’t, won’t approach that person, I was wrong, I’ll never do it again, so please!”

That piece of trash. Why did he have to die calling out my name?

‘There weren’t any witnesses, right?’

If there were witnesses.

And if this fact spread, this murder case would definitely be treated as a crime of passion.

Especially since not long ago, many people saw Justin courting her by offering a flower bouquet.

‘Right, anyone would think it’s a crime of passion!’

The protagonist of a crime of passion. If such a disgraceful label were attached to her, it would be troublesome.

Especially Viego, who values honor as much as life itself, would never give her the position of.

‘That absolutely cannot happen.’

Since Justin died leaving her name like a last will, she couldn’t just stand by and watch this matter unfold.

She needed to have enough information to respond to whatever might happen in the future.

‘Just who killed him for approaching me?’

No matter how much she thought about it, the only suspect that came to mind was Lyos.

If it really was Lyos.

‘What should I do?’

Would it even be possible to properly punish him?

He’s royalty? Moreover, he’s the Crown Prince destined to be the next emperor, the only heir to the throne?

Her vision went dark.

She realized once again Lyos’s insurmountable position in this world.

‘For now… let’s go.’

Let’s go to the Imperial Palace.

Lyos probably won’t tell her honestly, but it would be good if she could at least catch some suspicious signs.

That wasn’t all.

‘I have to meet the Emperor anyway.’

Today, she heard news that the Emperor had returned.

Coincidentally, Lete had brought something worth trading with the Emperor.

Justin’s murder was one thing.

Even though such a big incident had occurred, it didn’t change her reality.

She had things she needed to do.

‘Right, I need to meet the Emperor quickly.’

For the sake of breaking off the engagement with Lyos. She had to propose another deal to the Emperor.
