Chapter 89

“Brother is going on a secret business trip?”

“He’s left quite a few times without revealing his destination.”

“….”

Come to think of it.

It seemed like there had been times like that.

Weren’t there often times when even his secretary didn’t know exactly where his business trips were?

“Viego Windsor is a man who treasures every minute and second like gold. When dealing with people, he’d probably set time limits for conversations.”

“….”

“A man who thinks of time as money leaves for somewhere without revealing his destination and doesn’t come back for a long time. Isn’t that strange?”

A mocking smile formed on Ignis’s lips as he said this.

“Unless he’s secretly hiding a woman somewhere, it’s suspicious.”

“….”

Dana didn’t answer, but Ignis’s suspicious words continued.

“Honestly, I find this carriage attack suspicious too. When I think about it, I wonder if it was really something His Crown Prince did.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“I’m blackmailing Viego with the scripture, aren’t I? So your brother must want to kill me so badly. Right?”

“….”

Dana smiled silently. She didn’t want to continue this conversation any longer.

There was no need to discuss it.

“Lord Ignis.”

“What, hey.”

“You said the Windsor family is suspicious, does that have anything to do with why you left Windsor?”

When she asked that, Ignis opened his mouth as if he’d been waiting for it. Like someone who had been waiting for just that question.

However.

“….”

He couldn’t speak.

Because of those clear eyes that were staring at him intently.

“Ugh.”

He shook his head as if giving up and grabbed her chin.

“Never mind. Grow up a bit more. Then I’ll tell you.”

“As you know, I’m already an adult.”

“In my eyes, you’re still a little child, little one.”

“That’s because you’ve seen me since I was young.”

“That’s why I’m telling you to grow up more. Then you can decide whether to marry or not. What am I supposed to do with such a little child.”

Still talking about marriage. I told you I can’t? I told you Lyos won’t break off the engagement?

When she looked at him with such eyes, Ignis smiled secretly.

Then he suddenly bent his waist.

“Do you want to run away with me?”

He whispered in her ear.

“We can just take everything from your vault at once and run away. How about it. Isn’t it thrilling?”

“….”

Thrilling my foot.

Dana didn’t answer.

* * *

The next morning.

“News has arrived.”

Dana examined the documents Lete had newly given her.

“Here, we got the bullets back.”

Lete pushed an item onto the table.

It was a box containing two bullets.

These were the bullets that had been embedded in the tree during the carriage overturning incident, which Dana had personally collected at the scene of the accident.

“And here’s additional information related to that.”

“Thank you, Lete.”

Dana read through the documents Lete handed her. The information she wanted was written there in full.

‘As expected.’

Lete had found out quickly and accurately. Of course, it was possible because of the money she provided as support—.

‘As expected, she’s incredibly good at her job.’

I’d want to take her with me when I return to my world. Dana smiled as she responded.

“Thank you, Lete. It’s perfect.”

“Is there any other information you need?”

“No. This is enough.”

Dana rose from her chair.

“I need to go to the Imperial Palace now.”

To meet Lyos Grants.

* * *

“Ah. Danae Windsor.”

Lyos was at the Imperial Palace hunting grounds again.

He seemed to want to enjoy hunting to his heart’s content before winter began in earnest.

“What’s the matter?”

Behind him on the black horse, his friends were there as always.

And as always, they were ignoring Danae.

After looking at the noble young masters who wouldn’t even give her a glance, Dana shifted her gaze back to Lyos.

“Can we talk for a moment?”

“Ah. Sorry, but as you can see.”

Lyos nodded toward his friends behind him.

“It’s a similar situation to last time.”

“I see.”

She answered readily and passed by Lyos. Then she headed toward where Lyos’s friends were.

As she approached, she could feel them becoming startled.

‘Why. Do I carry some plague or something?’

Dana stood next to one noble young master. Then she grabbed his collar.

“Count Cedric.”

At that moment, perfect silence descended.

The air seemed to freeze cold.

Dana knew that at this moment, everyone was tense.

Regardless.

“We met last time, didn’t we?”

“….”

Count Cedric’s face turned pale.

An expression as if asking what on earth she was talking about. However, his gaze was still fixed elsewhere. As if he were someone who would die if he looked at Dana.

Dana let out a low sigh. Really, they do all sorts of things.

“When I was with Justin Lancaster, we ran into each other once in front of the concert hall.”

“…!”

Dana clearly saw his eyebrows stiffen with a start.

As expected. That’s when you told Lyos about it.

“It’s unfortunate. That day, or the next day. Justin died….”

Then Dana lightly grasped the tip of Count Cedric’s pinky finger. At that moment, a strange groan escaped his lips.

“You mustn’t, Lady. Please.”

Please?

Please what. Don’t touch?

Or this finger might get cut off?

Ignoring him, she opened his palm and placed something on it.

It was a bullet.

“….”

Leaving the frozen count behind, Dana turned around. Lyos, who had dismounted from his horse, was watching them with pitch-black eyes.

He asked quietly.

“It seems my dear friend has caught your fancy this time.”

“I just had something to return.”

“Why the bullet.”

“You heard about me being attacked while riding in my carriage, right? This bullet came from there, and when I investigated, it turned out Count Cedric had purchased it multiple times using laundered identities.”

“And so.”

“It must have been your order.”

“And so.”

“….”

“And so?”

Lyos asked repeatedly as if genuinely curious.

“And so.”

“….”

“So what.”

Dana was momentarily at a complete loss for words.

How could that man be so shameless.

“You attacked my carriage, and now that’s what you have to say?”

“How dare.”

Lyos cut her off.

“How dare you demand an annulment from me and believe you could return unharmed—that arrogance brought about this result, so what.”

“….”

Having said that, Lyos let out a snicker between his lips.

“Don’t misunderstand. It wasn’t my doing. I swear to God.”

“Do you think your oath would mean anything to me?”

At that accusation, Lyos remained utterly nonchalant.

“Even if it were my doing, I would never admit to it. But even if I had done it, I don’t see what the big deal would be.”

Crazy bastard.

Dana trembled with rage at his shamelessness.

Well, Lyos had always been this kind of man. Even when having an affair with Alice, he’d hold his head high and assert his righteousness.

“Why won’t you just annul our engagement?”

“Does wanting an annulment mean you want to break up with me?”

“We’ve already broken up.”

“When?”

“What did you say?”

“We broke up?”

Lyos smiled, lifting the corners of his mouth.

“I don’t recall having that conversation.”
