Chapter 78
“Still making excessive jokes as always, Ignis.”
“Well, I suppose Danae, who acts exactly to your liking, would be better than a wife obtained through political marriage or a daughter you can’t even remember when you made. Isn’t that right?”
“Still as undisciplined as ever. Ignis, I suppose it’s because Father raised you too freely?”
“Raised my ass. Don’t even mention that devil of an old man.”
Ignis snapped back fiercely, but Karl just responded with a pleasantly laughing face.
Perhaps losing his motivation at that expression, Ignis snorted and turned away.
“Well then, both of you have a good night. Who knows, nightmares might come visiting from tomorrow?”
“….”
Making a goodnight greeting sound so unpleasant was quite a talent.
Watching Ignis walk away, Dana let out a sigh.
Ignis had returned. But why on earth….
“Dana. Are you alright?”
However, the moment Karl’s hand touched her, Dana forgot everything.
“Your head doesn’t hurt, does it?”
With superhuman concentration, Dana suppressed the memories that came flooding back.
Don’t think about it.
“How much did you hear from where to where?”
Those scenes from back then.
Don’t think about it.
“I’m fine, Uncle.”
Instead, she had to pretend to love him. The moment this fear was discovered, his suspicions would begin.
“If Ignis bothers you, make sure to tell me.”
Karl sighed and cupped her cheek.
“Do you understand? Don’t suffer alone in silence. Okay?”
“Yes.”
She was tense, her heart was racing. Her concentration was wavering.
The body heat pressing against her cheek, that grip felt so intensely….
This murderer’s grip.
“Are you feeling well physically?”
“Yes. Thanks to you. I’m really grateful, Uncle.”
“Grateful? I’m the one who thinks it’s fortunate that I can take care of Dana.”
Karl said, looking at her as if she were absolutely adorable.
“I’ll be leaving for Kaltusa again tomorrow.”
“What?”
“That Retilan Mine we discovered then, I’ve decided to go investigate it with some people.”
“Ah….”
At those words, Dana barely managed to suppress her lips from twisting.
Right. Of course. If it’s you, that’s naturally what you’d do.
“I’ll be back soon, so don’t worry too much. Understand?”
No, it would be fine if you never came back at all.
“Dana.”
Karl pinched her cheek and let out a low laugh.
“I’ll think of you a lot in Kaltusa. We have many memories there, don’t we?”
“…That’s right.”
“I keep remembering how you tried to secretly pull out the cotton thinking I was asleep. How adorable you were.”
Memories. Was it okay to call those memories?
Dana just smiled silently.
“It’s late at night.”
Karl left a goodnight kiss on her forehead.
“Go inside quickly and sleep. Sweet dreams.”
It seemed like she would have nightmares tonight.
* * *
However, the real nightmare came the next day.
From the morning, a marriage proposal letter had arrived from Ignis de Windsor.
‘Is he insane?’
Incredulous, she read it, and the content was also ridiculous.
[I propose marriage.
―Ignis]
This crazy person sent this as a marriage proposal letter.
‘Why is he suddenly sending a marriage proposal letter to me, a Windsor?’
The person who disliked Windsor so much that he chose to be disowned and ran away, did he suddenly want to return to Windsor again?
“What should we do, Miss?”
She wanted to ignore it if she could.
‘But knowing Ignis’s personality, he wouldn’t just stay quiet.’
[I refuse.
―Danae Windsor]
“Go deliver this.”
Please let this be the end of it, Dana desperately hoped.
‘That crazy bastard, what the hell is he thinking?’
Of course, it didn’t end there.
‘What is this?’
I knew this would happen.
On the way back after the Retainer Council meeting ended.
Dana saw that her bedroom had been turned upside down in a mess.
“What did you do?”
The shattered vanity mirror. Flower vase. Overturned furniture. It looked like quite a commotion had been made.
And in the middle of that chaotic room, Ignis de Windsor was sprawled out on the bed.
“Oh. You’re back?”
“Did you make it like this, Lord Ignis?”
“Then who else do you think would have done this?”
He rudely smoked a cigarette on the bed while grinning.
“Hey, your bed smells really nice, doesn’t it?”
“….”
“So I ended up dirtying it without realizing it. What can you do.”
Ah, those were my favorite bed sheets.
‘I’ll just buy new ones and replace them.’
Getting angry over such trash would only be a loss for me. Dana replied indifferently.
“Get up now. If you have something to say, say it quickly and leave.”
Then Ignis abruptly sat up with the cigarette still in his mouth.
Huu, he blew cigarette smoke in her direction and laughed.
“Danae Windsor.”
“What.”
“Where’s your brother Viego Windsor?”
“He said he was leaving on a business trip last night. Why?”
“Well, I wanted to talk about marrying you, but he’s not here.”
He shrugged his shoulders.
“I hate you, but I love your fortune. So intensely and passionately that I can’t get it out of my head day or night.”
“I didn’t know you liked money, Ignis. Especially after you abandoned wealth and glory to leave Windsor.”
“Ah, there are complicated adult circumstances that a kid like you wouldn’t understand.”
She felt a surge of irritation. Both Karl and Ignis, why do they keep treating her like a child?
“Hey, Dana.”
“What.”
“You’re kind, aren’t you. Right?”
“…”
What is he trying to say?
Ignis got up from the bed and approached her. Then he held out a box.
“The fate of the Windsor Family rests in your hands, you know?”
He forced the box into her hands, then roughly ruffled her hair.
“Depending on what you do, I could either destroy the Windsor Family or save it.”
What kind of nonsense is this now.
Dana let out a deep sigh and opened the box. Right, let me see this quickly and chase him out…
“…What is this?”
Inside was a book.
It was a book she recognized.
A very old book.
With a title written in ancient language and the distinctive emblem of the Sun God carved into it…
“Have you heard of the original scripture? Not some copy, but the real scripture.”
The real scripture.
—Or something that looked like it.
“Ta-da. This is it.”
Ignis said with a serious expression.
“This is the original scripture.”
“…”
“How about that. Surprising, right. Amazing, right.”
“…”
