Chapter 75

* * *

Dana was grateful to Norton.

‘Thank you for telling me the locations of the grain warehouse and armory, Norton.’

Thanks to that, she had put them to good use.

“Dana, stay alert.”

“Yes.”

I need to stay alert.

Dana put all her strength into focusing her eyes.

However, that was a very difficult task. Clatter clatter, the sound of their horses’ hooves seemed to be faintly growing distant.

‘Ah, using this power repeatedly is really too much…’

The aftereffects of using her future reading ability were hitting her.

Moreover, having carried her heavy body to install gunpowder in the grain warehouse made the fatigue even more overwhelming.

But Dana didn’t regret it.

‘Thank goodness.’

Thanks to that, she had saved this girl.

To be precise, it was Karl who had brought the girl.

‘It would have been impossible without Uncle’s help…’

Dana looked down at the girl sitting in front of her. The girl was crying while trembling with fear.

“Thank you for saving me, sob, sob.”

“…Hold on tight so you don’t fall off the horse.”

That was the last thing Dana could say. Dana leaned her body completely against Karl’s chest.

“Uncle, I’m so tired…”

“Oh my. Wait a moment.”

Karl stopped his horse for a moment. Then he used the rope tied to the horse saddle to bind her body and his together as one. From shoulders and chest to waist, pelvis, and thighs, leaving no gaps so she wouldn’t fall, tight.

They were firmly secured like one mass. Then strangely, a peculiar sense of stability washed over her.

“Bear with it even if it hurts a little. This way you won’t fall.”

“Yes.”

“You can sleep now, Dana.”

“Yes…”

“I think this every time, but you’re really kind. Dana, you really are…”

She couldn’t even hear those words. Dana leaned completely against Karl and closed her eyes.

His chest was frighteningly warm and reliable.

“I should cut your life short.”

Is it okay for the embrace of someone who will kill me to be this peaceful…?

With that thought as her last, darkness came.

* * *

The aftereffects were quite severe.

“Dana, just bear with it a little longer. Okay?”

Her whole body was burning hot.

In her half-conscious state, she felt the swaying sensation of the horse running like an arrow and the firm sensation of Karl’s body connected to hers without gaps.

Such a confused state continued for a long time.

“Dana, try to come to your senses. Okay?”

And it was Karl Windsor who took care of her in that state.

Having ridden his horse frantically to reach a nearby village, he immediately took Dana to see a physician.

“Her energy has dropped significantly, so she needs to rest for a while.”

“Will she recover quickly? What if she dies like this?”

“Oh my, her husband seems very worried. Don’t worry. She’ll recover soon.”

“Yes, thank you. And I’m not her husband.”

Karl immediately settled down in the village and stayed for several days, willingly nursing Dana.

Why does it hurt more than before? Shouldn’t abilities become easier to adapt to the more you use them?

Dana thought this with dissatisfaction in her confused mind.

“Dana, open your mouth a bit. Okay?”

Karl Windsor carefully fed her rice porridge and wiped her sweat-soaked body.

“Poor thing.”

With blurry vision, Dana often looked at Karl’s face.

Clear eyes, handsome features, that gentle face that seemed to know nothing of evil deeds.

“Poor Dana.”

Seeming to truly worry about me, truly love me…

“Dana.”

A mask beautiful enough to be enchanting.

* * *

When she opened her eyes again, Dana had arrived at Windsor Estate.

“Are you alright?”

“…”

Ah.

It’s the secretary.

Dana stared blankly up at the secretary’s face and muttered.

“What happened?”

“You arrived yesterday.”

Lete skillfully brought a thermometer to check her temperature.

“Your fever has finally broken.”

That’s right. Now feeling like she would really live, Dana sat up with her light body.

“Lord Karl Windsor carried you back.”

“I see.”

“You must have had a hard time in Kaltusa Territory. You had many wounds on your body.”

“Ah, right…”

Dana laughed helplessly.

‘Maybe I was in so much pain not because I used my vision ability.’

Of course, it was true that her stamina had been greatly damaged because of that.

But the things she had experienced before that were too intense.

There had been an accident due to Karl’s inexperienced carriage driving. She had bled profusely and even sprained her ankle.

With such a body, she had moved around, run and jumped…

‘Most of all, it was mentally exhausting.’

That crazy murderer village. And because of the murderer uncle.

It seemed like all those things had overlapped at once and strained her body.

“Tell me what happened during this time.”

At Dana’s command, Lete immediately organized and reported what had happened after she arrived at Windsor Estate.

Karl Windsor reported this matter to the Windsor Family and the Imperial Palace immediately upon his return.

The Imperial Palace, having received the report, immediately dispatched troops to Kaltusa Territory, but—

“No one was there?”

“Yes.”

There was no one in that territory.

Only a few corpses caught in the explosion remained.

‘Don’t tell me all the survivors fled?’

Those crazy heretics were probably hiding somewhere else, pretending to be ordinary residents. The thought sent chills down her spine.

Moreover, they discovered several old corpses there.

They were the bodies of recently missing Imperial citizens, apparently burned to death.

‘The coachman’s words weren’t lies after all…’

The coachman who had fled, saying he absolutely couldn’t go there.

He had said his close friend went missing after entering Kaltusa Territory.

Unfortunately, he had become a sacrifice for human offerings.

‘How horrible. And they pretended to be such a kind-hearted village.’

This was a major incident.

Moon God priests conducting human sacrifices and secretly infiltrating and staying in the Empire’s territory.

Naturally, the aftermath was tremendous.

A newspaper company that had secretly obtained information published these sharp articles.

‘Impressive. I guess they’re not afraid of the Windsor Family.’

However, Dana soon learned the reason.

“They say it’s a newspaper company sponsored by Marquis Ritten.”

“Ah. That banker.”

Certainly, Marquis Ritten, who had been dealt a blow by Dana, would have been grinding his teeth, and he wouldn’t have missed this opportunity.

However, there was no major damage.

Because another Windsor had handled the situation.
