Chapter 85

“You won’t go around crippling every man who approaches me like you used to when you were obsessed with me, right?”

At that moment, Justin Lancaster’s face suddenly flashed through her mind.

‘No.’

She couldn’t be certain.

There’s no way he’d kill a direct descendant of the Lancaster family, the son of the army commander, over a woman he doesn’t even love. He could lose his position as Crown Prince.

Just for sending her some love letters and exchanging a few words with her.

However, Dana couldn’t give a definitive answer to this either. Besides Lyos, there was no one else she could think of.

If there was one more person, it would be Karl perhaps…

“You wouldn’t kill me just for proposing to you, right? Fine, let’s give it a try.”

Ignis sat up on the bed.

“If you break off the engagement, you’ll marry me?”

“I don’t want to.”

“What?”

“I was merely informing you that I’m still engaged to Crown Prince Lyos. So… without any need to think about it, I have no choice but to reject you, Lord Ignis.”

Of course, even if there was a need to think about it, she would reject him after thinking it over.

Dana didn’t say a single false word.

“So if you want me to accept, shouldn’t you first get a definitive answer about breaking the engagement from His Highness the Crown Prince?”

Of course, she didn’t mention that breaking the engagement didn’t mean she would accept.

There was no need to kindly explain to someone who was despicably threatening her.

“But if you want, I can accompany you to see His Highness the Crown Prince.”

Dana smiled sadly.

She suddenly thought it was fortunate that she had lived so foolishly and kindly all this time.

At this moment, he couldn’t even imagine that he was being used by her in return.

* * *

“Hahahahahaha.”

Lyos Grants burst into laughter.

“Hahahahahaha.”

The laughter scattered from his parched tongue was dry. The attendant who had given the report turned pale.

For His Highness the Crown Prince to suddenly laugh like that…

“Hahahahahaha.”

How long did he laugh like that?

After a while, Lyos abruptly stopped laughing. Then he immediately accepted.

“Let them in.”

Ignis de Windsor and Danae Windsor had come.

Along with a formal request for breaking the engagement.

* * *

Dana had never once thought of Lyos as frightening.

It had been that way from the moment she first met him.

Even when her relationship with Lyos went sour, it was the same. Even when he got angry at her, said cruel things, and humiliated her.

Still, she had never once feared him. She only found him disgusting, hateful, or annoying.

But…

‘What is this?’

Had Lyos always felt like this?

The towering Imperial Throne.

The black-haired man with his legs crossed, boredly resting his chin on his hand, was expressionless.

Those eyes held no anger or anything else, just pitch-black darkness, yet strangely, Dana felt he looked like a completely different person from usual.

“So.”

Lyos looked back and forth between Dana and Ignis, moving only his lips to speak.

“What do you demand of me?”

“We request the breaking of the engagement, Your Highness the Crown Prince.”

Despite saying he was scared, Ignis’s mouth moved freely.

“I have proposed to Danae.”

“A proposal.”

Lyos murmured the word. As if hearing it for the first time in his life, he rolled it around in his mouth several times.

“A proposal?”

“Yes.”

“Why.”

“Pardon?”

“Why.”

Lyos asked without emotion, still resting his chin on his hand.

“Why.”

“…”

“Don’t you know that Danae Windsor is my fiancée?”

Ignis narrowed his eyes as he looked at the Crown Prince. As if observing, as if trying to read his inner thoughts.

“I know. Because I know, I requested this audience to ask for the breaking of the engagement, Your Highness.”

“…”

“Dana told me. That she wants to live being completely loved.”

She had never said such a thing.

But she decided to just stay quiet.

Perhaps Ignis’s method might work. There was nothing wrong with trying.

“I can give that love to Danae.”

Ignis shamelessly spouted words he didn’t mean.

“I will never look at another woman and will love only Dana for life. I can swear to God.”

“…”

“In my life, Dana is the only woman.”

At that moment, Dana bit her lips tightly. She had almost burst into laughter.

Those words.

They were the words Lyos had said when the Dimensional Gate closed.

That it was only her. That he loved only her. That there would be no other woman.

That he would swear to God.

‘How ridiculous.’

To deliver the same lines in front of the very person who had coolly broken that oath. He probably didn’t know, but it was indeed absurd.

Lyos probably couldn’t even remember anyway.

‘If he remembered, he wouldn’t have broken his oath so easily.’

Or maybe not. He might break it even if he remembered. Because he thought so little of me and loved Alice so passionately.

“…So.”

Lyos raised the corner of his lips.

It was a very strange expression. His entire face was rigid, but only the corners of his mouth turned up—that look seemed like both a smile and a threat.

“You want me to break the engagement?”

“Yes, Your Highness. If you would do so, I would like to offer as much wealth as you desire as a token of gratitude.”

“Everything…”

“What?”

“I want everything.”

Lyos slowly lifted his face that had been resting in his hands. He straightened his back and sat upright, staring at Dana with dark intensity.

His lips twitched. He spoke.

“All of it.”

In an instant, chills ran down her spine.

Again. That eerie feeling, as if being sucked into a pitch-black abyss….

“If you’re not going to give me everything, then you’d better leave now.”

Lyos spoke slowly and smiled once more.

This time he bared his teeth.

Like a beast.

“I do hope you have a safe journey home.”
