Chapter 68
“By any chance, would my life be in danger if I attend that ritual?”
“It’s not like that, but…”
“Could I die?”
“No, there’s no threat to your life…”
“Would my arms or legs be cut off?”
“Huh? No, it’s not like that. It’s not like that, but.”
“Then would I get hurt somewhere?”
This isn’t twenty questions, what is this supposed to be.
Karl looked at Dana intently at that question.
“You’ll probably get hurt a little.”
He muttered with a gloomy face.
“A fragile child like you will definitely… Anyway, absolutely not.”
“Where would I get hurt?”
“You don’t need to know. There’s nothing good about knowing. It’s better if you don’t know, Dana.”
Dana let his words go in one ear and out the other. And she calculated coldly.
‘If my life isn’t in danger, I can’t give up.’
What was the reason for coming to Kaltusa? To trap Karl Windsor.
To end this possession and leave this body.
‘So Danae Windsor, I can’t give up even if this body gets hurt.’
As long as I stay alive, that’s enough.
As long as I’m breathing, there’s no problem.
‘But how exactly do I show him that?’
If he keeps blocking her from going outside like this because of that damn ritual, even the chance to take Karl to ‘that place’ would disappear.
This wasn’t what Dana wanted.
From the looks of it, if she suggested going out together, he would keep refusing.
However, Dana soon grinned.
A good method came to mind.
* * *
How many hours had passed like that?
“I’ll go out for a moment and come back.”
Karl, who had been stuck to her all day, finally got up.
“You’re hungry, right? I’ll bring you a meal, Dana.”
“Yes.”
“Don’t go anywhere, and even if someone comes looking, absolutely don’t open the door for them. Pretend to be sleeping.”
“Yes, yes.”
“I’ll be back.”
Finally.
Karl Windsor, who had been stuck like a leech all day, finally left the mill!
Click, the door closed.
Dana waited until the sound of his footsteps faded away, then jumped up from her seat.
‘I need to get out quickly!’
However.
Rattle.
‘Huh?’
The mill door wouldn’t open.
Dana panicked and tried pulling again.
Rattle.
“…”
Rattle, rattle, no matter how many times she pulled, it wouldn’t open. So that means…
Karl had locked her in the mill.
Dana slumped down in her seat. Her head went blank, perhaps from shock.
‘Crazy bastard.’
Even so, this is too much.
Even if he’s worried, this is too much!
How could he lock her up and leave without any warning!
If he was really doing this to protect her, she could at least understand his feelings!
‘Does he want to protect my fortune that badly?’
The reason he was acting like this was solely because of her fortune. To obtain that fortune.
If she died before he could claim the inheritance rights, he wouldn’t be able to steal that fortune!
‘So my fortune is that important to him? Important enough to lock me up like this?’
Hatred boiled up and her competitive spirit blazed.
Fine, then I’ll also use all my strength to lead you into a trap. I’ll burn my own body to give you destruction as a gift!
Just as she was making that resolution, rattle, the door shook. Dana glared at the door.
Could Karl have already returned?
“Well, it’s true.”
No, it wasn’t Karl.
“Hello there, miss?”
A strange man entered.
He had narrow, slit-like eyes and a long scar on his chin. He was a man with particularly thin lips.
“Miss, were you locked up? This thing was hanging on the door.”
Thud. The man dropped a long wooden stick.
“Who are you?”
“Ah, I’m the Village Chief’s son here. My name is Norton. I heard rumors that a pretty outsider had come, so I came to find you.”
He swaggered in and looked Dana up and down.
“Wow. It’s really true. Are all outsiders this pretty?”
Then he grabbed her snow-white hair and admired it.
“How is your hair color like this? Your hair texture is amazing too. It’s like you applied pearls to it.”
“…”
Dana frowned.
Such a vulgar and crude person, normally she wouldn’t even bother with him. So she was about to say ‘let go of that,’ but.
‘Wait a minute.’
Her thoughts soon changed.
Thanks to this person, the door was opened.
Besides, wasn’t she planning to go outside anyway?
If she disappeared alone, Karl Windsor would light a fire in his eyes and somehow search and find her, so she was thinking of going to ‘that place’ first and luring him there.
The most excellent bait to draw Karl in.
That would be her—Danae Windsor.
‘But this would be more effective, wouldn’t it?’
What was in front of her was clearly a thug, the Village Chief’s immature son.
‘If he finds out I disappeared with someone like this…’
He would chase after us even faster to find us.
“Should I show you around the village?”
There was no reason to refuse.
* * *
Dana deliberately wandered around the village instead of going straight to that place. The more witnesses there were, the faster Karl would be able to find her.
Surprisingly, all the villagers knew who she was.
“Oh, there’s the foreign lady!”
“My goodness! She’s really so pretty! Like a fairy!”
“Please make sure to attend today’s ceremony!”
“You must bring that handsome husband of yours too, you must!”
“Today is the last day of the ceremony! Please come, please!”
Their eyes gleamed so intensely. Dana felt slightly creeped out.
‘They’re acting exactly like ordinary country villagers having fun.’
The village square under the red sunset.
Someone played the lute, people danced around the campfire, and sang songs.
Then they brought food and shared it all together.
It was truly a peaceful scene beyond measure, but…
‘Huh?’
Dana saw a crack in that scene.
“Please save me!”
A girl was running through the village.
It was the same girl she had seen this morning, crying out to be saved.
“Save me! Please save me!”
The girl clung to the villagers, crying out. But when the girl grabbed her clothes, a grandmother smiled kindly.
“Oh my, poor thing. She’s doing this again.”
“Please save me! P-please save me, I beg you!”
“There, there, poor child. How did she hurt her head like this…”
The surrounding villagers also clicked their tongues and looked at her with pity.
“Oh dear, she’s doing that again.”
“Tsk tsk. So unfortunate. Her parents must be suffering.”
Then the girl’s face contorted. As if seeing ghosts, she looked around at the villagers and burst into tears.
“Hey! Are you doing this here again!”
Eventually, she began to be dragged away by the same woman who had taken her this morning.
“Waaah. Please save me. Save me, I’m telling you.”
The wailing girl, and the villagers watching her calmly.
The scene was so bizarre that Dana was seized by an intense sense of unease.
“Don’t worry about it.”
At that moment, Norton, the village chief’s son, also spoke nonchalantly.
“She’s a sick child. She’s been like that since she was little.”
“…I see.”
“Right. So let’s focus on this time. Is there anywhere you want to go? I can go anywhere.”
Dana turned her head.
Norton’s words were somewhat correct.
‘Right, I have something I need to do right now.’
She needed to focus on this time. Because this was something that could only be done at this moment.
‘That’s exactly why I came to Kaltusa.’
To quickly end this possession and return, this was something she absolutely had to do.
So for now, let’s only worry about my own business.
Dana steeled her resolve and followed the village chief’s son.
