Chapter 76

‘Please stop calling me a saint…’

Dana looked at the newspaper with irritation.

Except for the newspapers that published critical articles about the Moon God, all the other papers were filled with praise for herself, Danae Windsor.

Saying she was truly a saint for rescuing the victim of a barbaric ritual.

As she skimmed through the ridiculous saint nonsense, she suddenly remembered the girl she and Karl had rescued.

“By the way, what about that girl?”

“The child you brought back, miss?”

“Yes.”

“She’s currently receiving treatment. I’ll bring her once she recovers.”

“How long do you think it will take?”

“Well, the mental issues seem bigger than the physical ones. We’ll need to watch her for a while.”

“I see. Then Lete, please take good care of her.”

“Yes. I’ll dedicate myself to nursing that girl for the time being.”

After Lete left, Dana let out a sigh.

‘How long will these articles continue? It doesn’t seem like something that will die down easily.’

But surprisingly, a few days later, the newspaper articles completely disappeared.

Neither the Kaltusa incident nor anything about the Moon God was published anymore, not even a single line.

Even though it should have been an incident that turned the entire continent upside down.

‘How clean.’

Some powerful force had prevented this fact from being leaked further.

Dana immediately realized who had stopped it.

The force that embraced the Moon God.

The New Church Faction of the Papal Court. And—

‘The Windsor Family.’

It was the work of Duke Windsor, Viego Windsor.

* * *

When her body had recovered to some extent, Viego summoned her.

‘Huh…’

What’s this.

Did he call me here just to sleep?

Viego was leaning back on the long sofa with his legs stretched out, eyes closed as if asleep.

‘What should I do?’

Should I wake him?

No, absolutely not. Viego was most sensitive when waking up from sleep.

Should I go back?

No, if Viego opens his eyes and I’m not here, I might get in trouble.

Dana decided to wait in the end.

‘Sleeping so peacefully…’

Dana sat on the opposite sofa and silently observed Viego.

His quiet appearance with eyes closed was surprisingly elegant, like he could be used as a promotional model for a napping noble.

But then.

‘Ah, I’m getting sleepy too.’

Dana leaned back against the sofa.

Just for a moment, I’ll just close my eyes for a moment.

Just a little bit…

‘Gasp!’

A cold sensation coming from somewhere. Dana’s eyes snapped open. Then she was startled.

She had met eyes that were staring at her intently.

“Brother.”

This is crazy. How long did I sleep? Dana hurriedly straightened her sprawled body.

“When did you wake up?”

“Earlier than you.”

“…”

How embarrassing. I should have endured without sleeping…

‘Wait. I didn’t drool, did I?’

Maybe because she slept with her lips slightly parted. There was a little, just a tiny bit of saliva pooled in her mouth.

When Dana rubbed around her lips, Viego mocked her.

“Your lips have quite a talent.”

“Pardon?”

“I mean how they look like they’re about to drool but don’t.”

“…”

So this is what it feels like to want to hide in a mouse hole.

It seemed like Viego had been watching her. That’s why their eyes met as soon as she opened them.

“You should have woken me up.”

Compared to someone who had taken a perfect nap, Dana felt extremely embarrassed.

Fortunately, Viego’s small talk ended there.

“How was Kaltusa Territory?”

“The condition of the land was better than expected. Though there were problems with those who had been staying there.”

“So, is it suitable for laying railway tracks?”

“It should be fine now. I heard all the heretics living there have fled.”

“…”

You’re the one who covered up that incident.

She held back those words. There was nothing good about getting on his bad side.

However, Viego was quick to catch on.

“You’ll need to choose your ship carefully, Danae Windsor.”

“Pardon?”

“Windsor has boarded the ship called the New Church Faction. No, it’s more than just boarding a ship. We’re practically the owners who built and designed that ship.”

“…”

“But if you want, you can switch to another ship anytime. However, you’ll never be able to board the same ship as Windsor again.”

“…”

I know that too.

If what the heretics who followed the Moon God did became known, the Windsor Family would be in the most trouble.

The Windsor Family, pioneers of the New Church Faction.

Because it was their father, Demian Windsor, who spread the Moon God.

Dana knew that Viego had responded flawlessly as the head of the Windsor Family.

‘Annoyingly perfect. It wouldn’t be easy to handle things this cleanly without any noise.’

And that she, who was aiming for the deputy head position, should do the same.

‘It’s fine. I’m used to it.’

This was something familiar to Yeon Dana as well. It was one of the things she did best.

Turning a blind eye to what should be ignored for the sake of goals.

Pretending not to know what should be ignored.

Come to think of it, maybe she lived intoxicated by love as Danae Windsor because she didn’t want to live like that…

“Of course, I agree as well.”

But I will never become such a happy fool again.

“I won’t get off this ship, Viego Windsor. I want to be with you forever.”

At least until I finish this possession.

“Good thinking.”

Viego dismissed her with a brief word and held out documents to her.

“Read this and sign it.”

“What is this?”

“My marriage witness certification.”

“….”

Huh?

Dana didn’t immediately understand what he said.

What did he say?

“What is a marriage witness certification?”

Then Viego looked at her as if he were looking at a pathetic human being.

“It’s documents stating that you’ll become a witness to watch and certify my wedding. You don’t even know that?”

“No, that’s not what I meant.”

Wedding? Dana became confused.

Is there some other kind of wedding I know about?

“Windsor, are you getting married?”

“I have to.”

What?

Suddenly?

No, of course he’d have to since he’s the head of the family— but hadn’t he been holding out until now?

Perhaps because it was so sudden, it was hard to believe.

To think that Viego was considering marriage, with whom? No, more than that.

‘He needs someone to witness and certify the wedding?’

A thunderbolt of shock struck. A strange current ran up her spine.

This felt like two incompatible worldviews colliding.

‘Viego?’

Could Viego actually hold a wedding and live a married life? Normally? When he hates touching people so much that he always wears white gloves? He wouldn’t even be able to have a wedding night like that, would he?

‘No.’

Dana slammed shut the door of imagination. Let’s not think that far. This was rude.

Viego, who had been watching, raised one eyebrow at an angle.

“Why aren’t you answering?”
