Chapter 65
* * *
Fortunately, she had avoided a ridiculous death.
“Ugh.”
However, when she opened her eyes, Dana had to grimace from the bitter pain.
‘What?’
Where is this place?
This is…
‘A mill?’
A very cleanly maintained mill, and she was lying on a straw pile.
“Are you awake?”
What a surprise!
Dana jerked her waist up, then groaned from the splitting headache.
“You shouldn’t overdo it. You have bruises.”
Who is that woman?
Perhaps around her age. A woman in pure white clothes was looking at her.
While wrapping bandages around Dana’s ankle, the woman said,
“I heard you were in a carriage accident? Fortunately, nothing is broken.”
“Ah, I see. But…”
Where is this place?
And where is Karl?
As Dana looked around, the woman smiled gently.
“Are you looking for your husband?”
“…”
What?
As she stared blankly, the woman kindly explained.
“Your husband went to get food right now.”
“Pardon?”
“He’ll be back soon.”
Who is my husband?
Ah, no way!
‘Don’t tell me I’ve possessed another body again?’
Dana hastily grabbed her hair and checked.
‘White hair.’
So this body is definitely Danae Windsor…
“Your husband is really handsome. My goodness, I’ve never seen such a good-looking person in my entire life.”
“…Excuse me, but who are you?”
“Ah, I’m Nettie. I greeted your husband earlier too, and your husband has such a nice voice. I’m envious.”
“…”
Dana began to find this situation increasingly bizarre.
Who on earth is that woman?
And husband, who could that be?
She has a dog-like fiancé, but no husband?
“Oh my, he’s coming in just now.”
Then creak, the mill door opened. Dana unconsciously tensed up as she looked at the door.
Who on earth could my husband be?
The man entering through the door was tremendously handsome.
With a kind and gentle impression, milk-white skin, deer-like pure eyes, disheveled platinum hair…
“Unc…”
Just as she was about to say ‘Uncle?’
“Dana.”
Karl called her name one step faster.
“Did you wait long?”
Then he approached at the speed of light and shoved a baguette into her mouth.
“Eat first. Let’s talk after you eat.”
He stuffed it in so forcefully that it was almost at the level of blocking her mouth.
Karl, who had sealed Dana’s mouth, turned around with a smile.
“Thank you for taking care of her, Miss Nettie. When did my wife wake up?”
What?
Dana almost choked for a moment.
“Your wife just woke up.”
Nettie smiled as if shy.
“I’m glad I could be of help.”
“Hahaha. I’m the one who’s happy. Thank you for treating her.”
“Please call me anytime if you need anything.”
“Thank you.”
Click, as the door closed, Karl approached with a serious face.
“Sorry, Dana. Are you okay?”
While brushing the bread crumbs from her lips with his finger, he sighed.
“How’s your body?”
“Uncle. What on earth is this…”
“Shh!”
He shoved another piece of bread into Dana’s mouth.
“Those people think we’re married.”
“…”
“If they find out we’re not married, they’ll kick us out.”
Dana glared at him. However, since the bread filling her mouth was very warm and soft, she chewed and swallowed it.
She roughly guessed the situation.
There would be only one reason why Karl was suddenly acting like a married couple.
So this place is…
“This is where heretics live.”
“Right.”
Karl nodded with a dark expression.
“There were heretics living in Kaltusa.”
* * *
The Moon God believers.
In other words, the heretics had a unique culture.
When they turn eighteen, everyone must get married without exception.
‘And the temple priest decides their partner.’
Everyone marries at age 18 with the person chosen by the priest.
If there’s anyone who refuses marriage—
‘Burning at the stake, or exile. One of the two.’
In other words, if you remained unmarried even as an adult, they wouldn’t even treat you as human.
Moreover, they were a people who fervently practiced the saying “husband and wife are one body,” and couldn’t accept wives or husbands traveling apart from each other.
If a married couple tried to live far apart from each other.
‘Burning at the stake or exile.’
Once again, they wouldn’t treat them as human.
That meant.
‘To treat me, we had to pretend to be married.’
Dana let out a sigh.
Heretics were living in Kaltusa, the ghost town abandoned by the imperial citizens?
When you think about it, they weren’t people who belonged to this land. They had no right to drive Karl and Dana away.
Rather, the right to stay in Kaltusa belonged to them as citizens of the Bessman Empire, but.
“For now, there was no time to argue in order to treat you.”
Karl seemed terribly sorry to Dana.
“That woman from earlier, Miss Nettie, is a physician. Thanks to her, I was able to treat you and get medicine for emergency treatment.”
“I see.”
“I’m sorry, Dana. I’m really sorry.”
Of course you’re sorry. I got hurt because of you. Dana glared at him with that meaning.
However…
‘No, that’s not right.’
Let’s not forget the purpose of coming here.
Anyway, hadn’t she succeeded in luring Karl to Kaltusa?
Just then, the door burst open.
“Karl. How is your wife’s condition?”
“Ah, Chief.”
Chief?
Karl smiled warmly and welcomed the man entering. He was a middle-aged man in pure white clothes with a wrinkled face and a kind smile.
“Would bread be alright? The village residents are gathering for a meal right now, why don’t you join us?”
“No. My wife is ill, so we’re planning to rest for now.”
“That’s unfortunate. I wanted to share some grain wine together.”
Had they become close already? The man called chief seemed quite fond of Karl.
‘That guy really has incredible social skills.’
After a moment, the chief turned his gaze to Dana beyond Karl.
“I am Nathan, the chief of this village. I heard you were injured, so please stay here comfortably until you recover.”
Saying this, he carefully looked over Dana’s entire body as she sat on the straw pile.
His face was calm, but just his eyes were quite unpleasant, she thought.
“Thank you, but my wife is a bit shy around strangers.”
Karl naturally stepped in front to block his view.
“My wife needs rest, Chief.”
“Is that so? To my eyes, she doesn’t look seriously injured.”
Nathan made a pointed remark and patted Karl’s shoulder.
“Think about what I mentioned earlier. Though you’re outsiders, you’re welcome to participate in the ceremony anytime. The ceremony will continue for several more days.”
With those words, Nathan left the mill.
“That person is the chief?”
“Yes. Ridiculous, isn’t it? Taking over a ghost town on their own and acting like a chief.”
“But what was that about just now? A ceremony?”
“That’s…”
