Chapter 82

‘Gasp!’

Even Dana was there. She was following closely behind Viego Windsor.

Alice ran down the corridor, chasing the scene visible through the window. However, they soon disappeared around the corner of the corridor.

Where were they going?

No way.

‘They’re not going to Viego Windsor’s bedroom, are they?’

Alice hurriedly moved to the corridor where she could see the window of Viego Windsor’s bedroom.

A moment later, the lights in Viego Windsor’s bedroom suddenly turned on.

She could see Dana’s silhouette!

‘My goodness!’

But swoosh! The next moment, Viego drew the curtains. As if they were about to have a secret meeting!

Alice was so shocked that she slumped down where she stood.

‘What? What is it? What on earth is going on!’

At that moment, she remembered the melodramatic romance novel she had been reading just moments ago. The development was exactly the same as that novel!

‘In that story too, they secretly met in bedrooms and all that!’

She didn’t know what was going on, but she couldn’t keep this fact to herself!

Alice hurriedly ran off.

“Mom!”

She went straight to Sandra’s bedroom. Sandra, who had been sleeping and didn’t even know Alice had left, asked drowsily.

“Uh, huh? What’s wrong?”

“Dana and Viego Windsor!”

Huff, huff, Alice let out ragged breaths and smiled brightly. For some reason, she was so happy she couldn’t contain herself.

“The two of them secretly went into a bedroom together!”

* * *

“What is this?”

Inside Viego’s bedroom, Dana’s face became serious.

In the black and white photograph Viego had handed her.

A book of quite familiar form was captured in the image.

This was…

“They say it’s the original scripture.”

Viego sat on the edge of his desk.

“Ignis de Windsor brought it and left it just a while ago.”

“…”

Click, he lit his lighter.

Tilting his head slightly, he lit the end of his cigarette, then frowned and took a deep drag.

Then he exhaled smoke like a sigh and said.

“And he even showed me the actual item that he claims is the original scripture. That photograph was left as blackmail material.”

“Ah…”

Dana let out a quiet sigh.

So that’s why he’s so irritated.

‘Ignis blackmailed my brother too.’

During the day he threatened with words, and at night he brought the actual scripture to show him.

‘So that’s why he came to find me dressed like this.’

She hadn’t noticed because she was so flustered, but Viego was in his sleepwear.

A black long silk robe and black slippers.

Moreover, his platinum hair that was always slicked back with pomade was now naturally scattered over his forehead. And there was even the subtle scent of soap…

This was the first time she had seen Viego in such a disheveled state.

‘My brother must be quite out of sorts right now too.’

Though she felt strange somehow, Dana asked calmly.

“What kind of content is in the original scripture that makes it such an issue?”

“Content saying that the Moon God is a demon.”

Smirk, Viego raised the corner of his mouth in a smile.

“In other words, it’s evidence that my father was a fraud.”

“Do you think this original scripture is real?”

“I don’t know.”

Viego muttered with his brow furrowed.

“Whether it’s real or fake doesn’t matter. If it’s made public, people will believe it’s real.”

There had been the human sacrifice incident in Kaltusa not long ago.

If this scripture were revealed, the Windsor Family would have no honor left.

They would be remembered with the disgraceful name of demon worshippers who deceived the continent.

Dana let out a deep sigh.

“So what now?”

So now he’s going to talk about marriage.

Dana steeled her resolve. If Ignis really had forced marriage upon them, she wouldn’t show any more mercy either…

“Don’t you know anything?”

“…Pardon?”

“My father found a scripture copy on Treasure Island. And he handed over most of what he found on Treasure Island to you.”

Huh?

At the unexpected words, Dana’s eyes widened.

‘Why isn’t he talking about marriage?’

Could it be that Ignis didn’t mention that?

Of course, what Viego said was true. Demian Windsor had given Danae not only what he found on Treasure Island but most of his wealth.

‘He even left me the navigation chart to Treasure Island.’

The unknown island that Demian Windsor had discovered.

Some conspiracy theorists claimed that the Windsor Family had created the fantastical place called ‘Treasure Island’ to launder funds they had earned illegally.

But whatever the truth was, it was certain that an island piled with enormous amounts of gold coins existed, and only Danae could know the location of that island.

Since Demian had given the navigation chart to Treasure Island only to Danae Windsor.

That navigation chart was now sleeping peacefully in her secret vault.

So Viego was asking if, besides the navigation chart, he had perhaps given her other things as well.

“No. He didn’t give me anything related to the scripture.”

“…So you know nothing about the scripture.”

“That’s right.”

After that, Viego looked at her with quiet eyes without answering. It was a gaze that was hard to read.

Why was he looking at her like that?

‘He doesn’t know that I made a deal with the Emperor using the scripture, does he?’

No, that couldn’t be.

The only ones who knew about that were Secretary Rete who brought the scripture, and the Emperor who was the other party in the deal.

He was probably just asking to confirm, just in case.

Dana quietly watched him as he continuously smoked his cigarette. By the way.

‘Didn’t Viego Windsor quit smoking…?’

He must be smoking again because his mind was so troubled.

Dana was certain. This moment was probably the greatest crisis of Viego’s life.

‘Right. If things go wrong, the Windsor Family could be completely destroyed.’

That means….

‘If I help him here, it means he’ll trust me that much more, right?’

This was a good opportunity?

Dana hid her smile and carefully approached him.

“Brother, please don’t worry too much. I believe that scripture is fake.”

Because I gave the real one to the Emperor.

Dana smiled confidently at him. And she told him exactly what Viego wanted to hear most at this moment.

“If that scripture is proven to be fake, there won’t be any problems at all. Right?”

“….”

Viego stared at her intently with a cigarette in his mouth. Then he nodded belatedly.

“I’ll somehow find a way to prove it’s fake.”

After a moment, he asked slowly.

“How?”

“That’s….”

“Before that.”

Viego closed his eyes tightly for a moment, then opened them.

“I’d like you to step back a bit.”

“What?”

“Have you ever heard that I dislike the scent of lily of the valley?”

“Ah.”

“That fragrance is radiating from your body.”

At those words, Dana was flustered. My body has that kind of scent?

“….”

Dana became very embarrassed and stepped back two paces. However, as if telling her to go further back, Viego nodded once more.

So she stepped back two more paces.

Only then, as if he could breathe easier, Viego took a deep drag of his cigarette. As if trying to erase the scent he disliked.
