Chapter 90

“Didn’t you say you loved Alice?”

“I did.”

Lyos nodded as if he couldn’t deny that much.

“I do love Alice.”

“…The moment you said that in front of me, Your Highness and I were finished. It’s not something that will work just because you’re being stubborn.”

“It won’t work?”

“That’s right.”

“Well.”

Lyos muttered and tilted his head lightly.

“It will work.”

Then he grinned like a boy.

“If I say it will work, then it works. Don’t you think?”

“Your Highness.”

“Yes. I know what you’re going to say. But you know what? Do you think I care about what you have to say?”

Lyos laughed. He burst into hearty laughter, hahaha, with the kind of delight one shows when watching someone’s antics.

“If I say I won’t break up with you, then we won’t break up.”

“…”

“Your opinion doesn’t matter, Danae Windsor.”

Ah…

For a moment, Dana felt all strength drain from the tip of her tongue. Her fighting spirit disappeared.

What am I doing right now?

Am I having this conversation just to hear such words?

‘That’s enough.’

Her purpose was simply to return the bullet and see his reaction.

Thanks to that, she was now completely certain about how this whole thing was unfolding.

No further conversation was necessary now.

As she tried to turn around, Lyos placed his hand on her shoulder. It was a gentle but firm touch.

“Since your memory doesn’t seem very good, remember this well. I’ll tell you once more. Danae Windsor…”

He came closer.

His darkly burning eyes blazed as if they would consume her.

He smiled.

“Even in death, you’ll be buried beside me.”

He smiled deeply.

Ignis de Windsor tried not to forget his original purpose.

‘Blackmail. Intimidation. Threats.’

Yes, that was his purpose.

To blackmail that girl who loved her family dearly, Danae Windsor, and obtain that entire secret vault.

Ignis didn’t bother hiding his purpose.

He blackmailed, threatened, acted rough, and made demands.

But…

“What are you doing?”

The problem was that his target was far too fragile.

There was absolutely no satisfaction in threatening her.

“Hey, are you crying?”

Danae Windsor, who had returned from the Imperial Palace, was sitting alone in the garden sniffling!

“It’s nothing…”

“Hey, why are you crying? Tell me.”

A girl who always smiled like an angel was crying like this. He became serious as well and sat down beside Danae.

“What did the Crown Prince say to make you cry?”

“…”

She bit her lips tightly as if she didn’t want to talk.

“Tell me. We’re fellow victims, aren’t we?”

However, when he emphasized that they were ‘fellow victims’ and showed his bandaged arm, Danae gave a sad smile.

“The carriage attack. I think it really was something His Highness the Crown Prince did.”

“Really?”

“He denied it with words… but I still think it was him.”

“Why? It might not be him.”

Ignis whispered slyly.

“I think it was Viego Windsor. That bastard hasn’t shown up again since that day. It’s obvious he went to clean up the aftermath, destroying evidence and all.”

“Do you think so?”

Oh my. The way she immediately perked up was exactly the kind of reaction perfect for being deceived. This girl was just too naive.

“And His Highness says he loves Alice.”

“Oh.”

“But he still won’t break up with me.”

“What a greedy man.”

While offering casual comfort, Ignis slyly stroked Danae’s snow-white hair.

As he thought every time, the texture of her hair was really nice. It wasn’t just about the sensation on his fingertips.

Just, the feeling.

The feeling was good.

The feeling of touching a small, white beast that was endlessly soft, endlessly gentle, and endlessly harmless…

“I really hate it. At this rate, I’ll have to marry His Highness the Crown Prince and live sharing the same husband with Alice.”

“That would be fucking awful.”

“You’re right. It would be fucking awful.”

The way she quickly copied him was funny, so Ignis burst into laughter. As expected, Dana was the worst at cursing among all the people he knew.

“So… is that offer to run away still valid?”

Huh.

His fingertips, which had been secretly touching Dana’s hair, stopped.

Dana glanced up at him.

“Could you take me away from this place?”

Oh…

Ignis held his breath for a moment at the sensation of something tightening somewhere in his chest.

“Of course.”

But without showing it at all, he grinned and said.

“Will you really trust me and follow me?”

“Yes.”

“…”

“I will.”

For a moment, Ignis was dumbfounded.

“What does this girl trust about me to follow me?”

Oops. What he meant to think to himself accidentally slipped out of his mouth.

“Shouldn’t I trust you?”

Then Dana tilted her head with the most innocent eyes imaginable.

“Ignis is a good person. You can trust him.”

“Hey. What do you know about me?”

Shut up, you fool. However, his mouth was running wild beyond his will.

“Do you even know what it means to run away with a man?”

“…I know that much.”

Huh?

“I’m still okay with it.”

What?

“You protected me….”

Wow. Crazy.

Ignis was truly shocked.

Right now, he could read romantic feelings in Dana’s eyes as she shyly looked up at him.

‘Really?’

Yes, it really was romantic affection.

There was no mistaking it, as countless women had looked at him with such eyes before.

And women with such eyes always obediently lay down on the bed.

When he undressed them, they would resist a little before obediently becoming naked.

Of course. Because those were the eyes of someone completely smitten with him.

The woman before him was making such eyes.

“Please take me with you.”

At that moment, Ignis hastily crossed his legs. He had to hide it. Because it was embarrassing.

Getting like this just from reading romantic feelings in the eyes of a much younger girl seemed rather immature.

“Right. Good thinking. Then let’s leave tomorrow morning. For now, get a good night’s sleep today.”

“…Then can we sleep together tonight?”

“….”

Ignis stared at Dana intently.

Did I mishear?

“I’ll… come at night. How about a drink? I can drink well, you know?”

“What did you say?”

What is this girl saying? Ignis glared at Dana fiercely.

“What did you just say?”

“Let’s sleep together….”

“Why. To have sex with me?”

“….”

Dana didn’t answer. But she didn’t deny it either.

“I’ll come at night.”

With those final words, she hastily got up from the bench as if embarrassed. She ran away hurriedly, as if fleeing.

Ignis stared blankly at her retreating figure. After being in such a state of panic for a while, he finally managed to gather his thoughts.

Danae Windsor has really fallen for me.

Not reluctantly under threat, but genuinely.

No. This isn’t just falling for me.

She wants to sleep with me tonight.

Danae Windsor?

‘Wait, doesn’t she even know how to have sex?’

This seemed more credible.

‘Nah, surely not. She must know at least something.’

Or does she? Does she really not know?

It seemed plausible since her brother was Viego Windsor. It seemed likely that Viego Windsor would have blocked his sister from even hearing such words and raised her preciously.

Didn’t that guy Viego refuse to allow the engagement unless the Crown Prince made a premarital chastity vow?

Still….

“I’ll come at night.”

That was a knowing face.

‘Wow, damn.’

Ignis jumped up from his seat. He hurriedly ran toward the bedroom.

Bath first.
