Chapter 73

Of course, I’m not a good person, and I’m definitely not a hero of justice, but still.

A child looked straight into my eyes, crying, begging me to save her life…

‘Ah, seriously.’

Why am I remembering my childhood?

When I was Yeon Dana. When I was young. When I was utterly alone.

When I suffered among those terrible relative adults.

When I used to fantasize alone that someday some good adult would appear to help me…

Dana hesitated for a moment, then made her decision.

‘Let me see the future.’

The future that would unfold for that girl.

I’ll peek at that and decide what to do.

‘Right. I should still have some peering ability left.’

As I confirmed on the day Justin died, on days when this ‘Vision’ ability came to me, I could draw upon part of that power.

Last time I completely lost control and exhausted all my stamina…

‘But this is the second time, so I should be able to control my stamina better than the first time.’

Right. Let me try once.

Dana slowly reached out her hand to the dirt floor of the mill. And earnestly requested.

‘Show me.’

What happens to that girl. The future of that child who begged me to save her…

At that moment, the scene before her eyes changed.

‘I can see it.’

This place is still in the dark night.

The village plaza.

The future that would unfold a few hours from now.

“So you’re saying they escaped?”

“That’s right. What a waste.”

“Ah, Master Karl. He was really so cool.”

“Exactly. We’ll never meet such a handsome man again, what a shame.”

“I think I’ll never forget that woman for the rest of my life.”

Had the ritual completely ended? Humans who seemed to have returned to their primordial state were swarming together in the plaza.

And in front of the giant wooden post located in the center of the plaza, a man shouted.

“Now, as we welcome the final day of the ritual, it’s time to offer a sacrifice to the god!”

It was Nathan’s voice.

At his gesture, a young girl was dragged forward.

“Please save me, huuuuung.”

It was that girl.

That girl who had begged and pleaded so desperately to be saved burst into tears, terrified.

“Save me, save me, I don’t want to die. Waaaah!”

And the villagers burst into laughter watching that child.

“Oh my, look at her crying!”

“Her spirit is so vigorous, the god will surely be pleased!”

Among them were not only Nettie and Norton, but also the village women who had enjoyed bathing together, the young man who played the lute, the old man who had comforted children, and the village children who had been playing around.

“Don’t cry, little one! The Moon God will receive you!”

“Offer her as a sacrifice to the god!”

“As a sacrifice!”

“Waaah!”

“To the Moon God, eternal glory!”

“Waaaaah!”

The girl was led by the strong men’s hands and tied to the wooden post. And oil poured all over her body.

A match flew in.

“Kyaaaak!”

And…

Dana slowly opened her eyes.

“Urgh.”

She immediately covered her mouth with her hand. She had almost vomited.

Huff, huff, breathing heavily, Dana clenched her fists.

‘How could they.’

How could they do such a thing!

Her fingertips trembled violently. She now clearly understood what the villagers were trying to do.

‘Human sacrifice…’

That ritual of offering humans as sacrifices to a god.

The girl was a sacrifice prepared for that ritual.

‘She was captured as a human sacrifice…’

Dana swallowed and calmed her trembling heart. And thought as calmly as possible.

Dana and Karl, they wouldn’t be here in a few hours. They would definitely succeed in escaping. There had been dialogue about the foreign couple escaping in their conversation.

But.

If they left like this, that young girl would die as a sacrifice.

“Dana?”

Ah!

Dana quickly raised her head. When had he returned? Karl was standing in front of her.

“Are you alright?”

“…”

“Oh my, you’re covered in cold sweat. Did something happen?”

“Uncle…”

“Get up first. I’ve prepared the carriage.”

Saying that, Karl lifted Dana up.

“Come, let’s go. This place is too dangerous.”

Dana just wanted to faint in his arms. Since her stamina was at rock bottom, she could have done so, but…

“Uncle.”

Her mouth was already moving.

“There’s a young girl being held captive here.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. And today she begged me to save her.”

“Did she?”

“It seems like the people here are forcibly keeping her captive. Perhaps… they’re planning to use her as a human sacrifice or something like that?”

Since she couldn’t say she had seen the future, Dana spoke indirectly.

“These people are conducting such depraved rituals. They could use a young girl as a human sacrifice.”

“…”

Karl quietly looked down at her.

His gaze was serious but light.

But? So? What about it?

That’s what his eyes were asking.

Dana became confused.

Right? So? What am I going to do?

What do I want? Don’t I want to escape from this place right now?

The heretics in this village are dangerous. They’re all clearly insane. Besides, wasn’t my business in this land already finished?

‘Right, everything in Kaltusa Territory is done.’

Karl pretended not to be very interested, but once he returned to Windsor, he would begin investigating that mine in earnest and start mining operations.

He would take the bait and fall right into the trap.

Yes, with that, all business was finished…

‘No.’

Dana squeezed her eyes shut and opened them again.

If she left that girl behind like this, she would probably haunt her dreams for life. That scene where she looked at her and cried “Please save me” would keep repeating.

Knowing this, hadn’t she been racking her brain fiercely from the moment she saw the future?

Even at this moment, she was devising a way to save that girl.

No, she had already devised it.

‘There is a way to save that girl.’

But she couldn’t do it alone. It was impossible without Karl Windsor’s help.

Would it be okay to ask this person for help?

This crazy villain who only looked like an angel on the outside?

“Dana.”

Just then, Karl asked.

“Why can’t you speak?”

“…Pardon?”

“Tell me.”

“…”

“You want something from me, don’t you?”

Of course she did. But…

“If you want something, tell me.”

“…”

“Quickly. Hmm?”

Suddenly, she recalled a passage she had heard somewhere about how demons appear in breathtakingly beautiful forms to tempt humans.

Perhaps that was why. Right now, an ominous feeling washed over her as if she were making a deal with a demon, but…

“I would like Uncle to help me.”

That wasn’t so bad either.

That girl would surely want to borrow even a demon’s power.

Just as I had in my childhood.

“I see.”

Karl smiled.

“What would you like me to help you with, and how?”
