Chapter 88
“Why?”
However, his expression was eerily calm.
Only then did Dana remember that Viego had mysophobia.
That’s why he always wore white gloves to avoid contact with others, but right now, he had momentarily forgotten and taken them off.
“I’m sorry.”
What an incredibly sensitive person. How is he going to manage a wedding like this? With that thought, Dana carefully apologized.
“It’s just that you seemed to be gripping your cane too tightly.”
“There’s no problem.”
“There is a problem. You’re bleeding, brother.”
“The problem right now is your attitude of avoiding mentioning who the culprit is.”
Viego replied with chilling quietness and turned around.
“Rest for the time being.”
“…”
With those words, Viego left the room.
Dana quietly watched his retreating figure.
‘He must be angry.’
Does he think I’m protecting Lyos?
That’s not it though.
Dana let out a deep sigh and sat on the bed.
Of course, at first she thought of Lyos. Naturally.
On the way back from meeting him. After hearing those sudden words about wishing for a safe journey home, she encountered the attacker.
At first, she naturally, naturally thought it was Lyos.
‘Well.’
Now she was a little…
Her thoughts had changed.
* * *
“Ah damn, it fucking hurts, really…”
“Please use proper language.”
Then Ignis let out a hollow laugh.
“I only said ‘Ah damn, it fucking hurts.'”
“That’s exactly what rough language is.”
Dana scolded him while applying medicine to his arm. Then Ignis furrowed his brow.
“It fucking hurts, so what should I say then?”
“…”
Right. It must hurt.
Dana sighed.
“Then ask the physician to apply the medicine. Why do you specifically ask me to do it?”
“Wouldn’t it heal faster if the saint applies it? Because I got hurt trying to protect the saint.”
“…”
Did he just copy my way of speaking?
When she glared at him, Ignis grinned. Seeing his mischievous eyes, her irritation soon faded.
‘What a strange person.’
When the carriage overturned.
Ignis had pulled her into his arms and protected her.
As a result, Ignis’s arm had been completely torn to shreds. He was injured by wood fragments from the carriage.
‘It must hurt…’
As Dana silently applied the medicine, Ignis chuckled.
“Hey. Saint who speaks properly. What should I say then? There’s no other sentence that can express my pain except ‘damn it fucking hurts.'”
“Then say ‘damn it fucking hurts.'”
When she replied matter-of-factly, Ignis’s mouth fell open.
“You, what did you just say?”
“What?”
“What did you say?”
“I just told you to say ‘damn it fucking hurts.'”
The next moment, Ignis clutched his stomach and burst into laughter.
“Wahahahaha!”
What’s wrong with him? He only stopped laughing after his face turned bright red.
“Ah, really. My goodness. I’ve never seen a woman who looks so unsuited for cursing.”
What is he saying? Dana snorted and applied medicine to his other arm.
“I curse a lot too, you know?”
“What?”
“It’s true. I mostly do it in my mind though.”
At those words, Ignis burst into laughter again.
“Really, what kind of curses do you say in your mind?”
“…”
“Gosh, fool, idiot, I hate you, stuff like that?”
“…”
This is really annoying.
‘I also curse with bastard, crazy bastard, crazy son of a bitch in my mind, so why is he acting like that?’
But explaining that would seem even more ridiculous, so Dana decided not to engage with him anymore.
“Hey, tell me. I’m really curious. Saint Dana. What kind of curses do you say in your mind? Hm?”
When she continued to ignore him, he even grabbed the ends of her hair and shook them.
‘Why is he acting so familiar?’
Ignis de Windsor had been acting increasingly familiar lately.
It seemed that going with her to meet Lyos had opened his heart.
‘Was he that scared of Lyos?’
Well, his face did stiffen when he heard that he needed Lyos’s permission to come. And he even obediently admitted that he was scary.
Moreover, perhaps because they survived the carriage accident together. He had strangely changed from before.
“Miss.”
Then, Lete approached. He spoke without even glancing at Ignis.
“The documents you requested are ready.”
“Ah. I’ll be right there.”
Ignis stared intently at Lete as he left. Then he marveled.
“That’s insane.”
“Right.”
“I thought he was some kind of fairy.”
“Right.”
“I thought space-time was warping. He’s really handsome.”
With those words, Ignis groaned as he got up. He had to use crutches because of his broken leg.
“Honey, let’s go for a walk. Support me.”
“…”
Crazy person…
She thought that again this time, but Dana silently followed him.
Whatever the reason, in any case.
Ignis had gotten injured while protecting her.
* * *
“Can I ask you something?”
Dana asked while strolling through the garden. There was actually something she had been wanting to ask all along.
“What was that story you were telling before the carriage accident?”
At those words, Ignis’s face hardened. Dana immediately followed up with another question.
“You were talking about the Windsor Family.”
“…That’s right.”
“You also said that I don’t suit Windsor.”
Back then, Ignis had definitely said it.
That she knew what kind of family the Windsor Family was.
Those words had been bothering her ever since.
Why did Ignis say such things at that particular moment? What exactly was he trying to tell her?
“What did you mean?”
“What did I mean, you ask.”
Ignis laughed like a sigh.
“I meant it’s a family with a rotten background.”
“Are there any families with clean backgrounds?”
“What?”
“I’ve never seen a perfectly clean family among those that handle big money.”
But that wouldn’t be all of it.
Sure enough, Ignis immediately added.
“Don’t you find Windsor suspicious too?”
“Pardon?”
“Originally, Windsor was a warrior family that guarded the border.”
She knew that.
She knew because she had been to Windsor Territory herself.
At one time they had defended the border from the Northern Barbarians—but it had been long since Windsor’s direct line lost interest in territorial affairs.
They only provided massive business management support and received monthly reports.
“Look at Windsor now. They’ve become a wealthy business family occupying the largest estate in the Imperial Capital. Even the Imperial Family borrows money from Windsor, don’t they?”
“…Well, that’s…”
“Ah, I know what you’re going to say. That Treasure Island. The treasure island full of gold coins that Demian Windsor found.”
Ignis snorted as if it were ridiculous.
“Do you think that Treasure Island really exists?”
“…”
“No one has seen that Treasure Island. No one.”
“…”
“If there’s no Treasure Island, where did that enormous fortune suddenly come from?”
“…”
“Don’t you find that strange? And…”
Ignis suddenly lowered his head and whispered in her ear.
“Do you know where Viego Windsor goes on all those secret business trips?”
