Chapter 77

“No. It’s just, I think it might be a bit awkward.”

“What would be.”

“Since it’s a private moment, after all.”

“I’m the one doing it. You just need to watch. Is that difficult?”

“….”

As if teaching simple mathematics, he spoke matter-of-factly.

“This is an old family tradition passed down to the heads of Windsor. Whether you like it or not, there’s no need to mix personal feelings into a duty that must be done.”

Is that so. Is there really no problem with it.

A sense of alienation washed over her.

Certainly, Viego and herself were people from different eras, different worlds.

“Should I sign here?”

“Yes.”

Dana signed at the bottom of the documents while feeling quite strange.

“Who is the marriage partner?”

“Roland Family Daughter.”

It meant he would marry any woman from the Roland Family.

A marriage with emotions thoroughly excluded, which was common in this place.

‘So they continue to make political marriages with the Roland Family.’

Come to think of it, Karl and Sandra were also such a political marriage. I heard they were engaged before they were even born.

“When will you do it?”

“At the earliest, within two months. At the latest, it seems it will be within half a year.”

“Ah, yes….”

As soon as she finished signing, another document was immediately placed before her.

‘Wow, there’s a lot of work.’

He’s giving me a lot of tasks. This was a good sign.

Especially.

“I’m entrusting you with the railway construction in Kaltusa Territory.”

He had entrusted her with something very big.

“Yes. Thank you for entrusting me with this. I’ll do well.”

Since it meant he trusted her that much, Dana felt moved. For Viego to give her such work!

“And Uncle Karl said he discovered Retilan Mine in Kaltusa, is that right?”

At those words, Dana almost laughed.

As expected.

Karl Windsor. I knew you would do that.

How long has it been since he returned to Windsor, and he’s already started working on it.

‘See. I told you not to be fooled.’

He acted so indifferently in front of me.

“Retilan, you say. I think I might have seen something like that… but actually, my condition wasn’t good at the time, so I can’t be certain.”

Dana subtly stepped back, neither confirming nor denying.

So that even if Karl Windsor’s mining business completely failed, she would bear no responsibility.

“I think it would be better to ask Uncle about that.”

I feel good. The feeling is good too.

Her relationship with Viego had improved tremendously. This was a change that occurred after her abilities were recognized.

If things continue like this, Karl will smoothly fail.

‘For the vacant position of deputy head, only I, a direct line of Windsor, can sit there.’

Karl Windsor’s sacred relic. The Deputy Head’s Ring will soon be mine.

Dana hummed to herself. Earnestly hoping things would continue just like this.

However.

“Come to think of it, there’s something I haven’t told you yet.”

“Yes?”

“Ignis de Windsor is here.”

“….”

Ah….

My mood is the worst.

* * *

Ignis de Windsor.

A man who was once an adopted child of the Windsor Family.

Ignis was originally from fallen nobility, and caught the eye of Danae’s grandfather to be adopted into the Windsor Family.

With his exceptional talent, he was said to be a prodigy who competed for top honors at the Military Academy during his youth.

‘Later he chose to be disowned and removed from the family register himself.’

The reason was only known to be a serious conflict with Danae’s grandfather, Rodrigo Windsor.

However, Danae’s grandfather apparently wanted to keep Ignis in the Windsor Family until the end.

‘He probably genuinely cherished him?’

Therefore, Ignis was never permitted to completely abandon the Windsor surname.

And above all.

This man was just, a bastard.

“Well, Dana. It’s been a while? You’ve gotten prettier since I last saw you?”

Dana looked at the man with grim eyes.

‘He really came.’

And to encounter him this quickly….

She had been taking a walk in the garden at night after a long time.

However, there was someone blocking her path. A tall man with red hair and fierce eyes.

Ignis de Windsor. He was one of the people she disliked.

“You, the last time I saw you, you still smelled like milk.”

You’re still vulgar and crude as ever.

Dana thought so inwardly.

“Ignis. It’s really been a long time since I’ve seen you.”

“Yes, yes, you missed me a lot, right?”

Ignis roughly grabbed her hair and shook it.

“Your white hair is still pretty? Makes me want to cut it all off.”

“I didn’t expect you to return.”

Ignoring the habitual provocation, Dana answered calmly.

“Didn’t you say you would never come to Windsor again?”

Ignis was practically a non-existent person in Windsor. Even in the Windsor Family, there were hardly any people who mentioned Ignis’s name.

It was understandable. The last time he came to the Windsor Family, he caused all sorts of trouble and mischief.

‘Then he left cursing up a storm, saying he would never have anything to do with Windsor again.’

So he was someone whose very mention was almost taboo, yet here he was, boldly returning like this.

“Ah, that’s right. I said that, but I changed my mind.”

Ignis shrugged and replied nonchalantly.

“After living away from home for so long, I started missing home. I did live in this house for a while too.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, yes. I missed it so much.”

Having said that, Ignis roughly wrapped his hand around her hair and pulled her close. Then he whispered in her ear.

“You stupid bitch, I think about you from time to time too.”

“….”

What colorful profanity. It’s been a while. He was still an unpleasant person as always.

“What are you doing?”

Then a gentle voice, completely different from Ignis’s, was heard.

“Ignis.”

It was Karl.

Dana tensed up at his appearance.

To be honest, she was much, much, much more afraid of him than of Ignis.

“Ah, Brother Karl. Hello. It’s been a while.”

Ignis smiled brightly while still gripping Dana’s hair.

“Brother, you’ve become even more polished. My, the noble ladies who are lovesick over you aren’t just one or two. The rumors are everywhere.”

“You seem to be doing well too, Ignis. You should let go of Dana’s hair.”

Karl spoke quietly but firmly.

“It’s too rude.”

“Haha, Brother is still so kind.”

“Ignis.”

Karl smiled gently.

“Now.”

“….”

Ignis narrowed his eyes and glared at Karl, then spat out a short curse and let go of Dana’s hair.

“Fine, fine. It’s not like I’m a ten-year-old kid, and I’m past the age of playing around grabbing girls’ hair.”

He glanced at the two of them and chuckled.

“Brother, are you still busy taking care of Dana? I don’t see your daughter or wife anywhere?”
