Chapter 92

* * *

“Do you still like me even after this?”

Ignis asked while lighting a cigarette.

“Are you really going to follow me tomorrow?”

She’ll run away. Definitely. After showing such a thing to a girl with no immunity.

However, Danae muttered with a flushed face.

“Why do you think I’m still sitting here?”

“…So you’re really determined to come with me?”

“Yes.”

Is this girl crazy? Ignis began to suspect Danae’s mental state.

It seemed she was completely blinded by love.

“Do you… know what that means?”

“What?”

“Following me means you’ll have to handle all of this.”

“Wh-why is that?”

“My innocent saint. Right now I’m doing this alone while looking at your face, but do you think you’ll be able to just watch quietly after we leave together?”

“…Anyway, my feelings haven’t changed.”

At those words, Ignis let out a bitter laugh. Indeed, the look in Danae’s eyes as she gazed at him was the same as before.

I’m really going to ruin this girl’s life.

“Our saint has quite frighteningly unique tastes.”

“Don’t mock other people’s preferences.”

Glare. She’s actually glaring at him. Of course, it wasn’t threatening at all.

Ignis unconsciously smiled, then suddenly froze in shock.

He had smiled.

He had smiled without realizing it.

When was the last time I smiled like this?

No, have I ever smiled like this before?

After being lost in thought for a moment, Ignis soon honestly accepted it and took a drag of his cigarette with a dejected expression.

‘I’m the one who’s screwed. Fuck.’

How embarrassing, acting like this at my age.

This girl might be an innocent little thing, but shouldn’t he avoid being swept up in such emotions?

Danae fell for me because she thinks I saved her.

If it’s revealed that it was all a show…

‘Now that it’s come to this, I’ll hide it no matter what.’

Originally, after luring this girl out and taking the vault, it wouldn’t have mattered whether he was caught or not.

But the fact that he was having such ridiculous thoughts was already proof that he was screwed.

Ignis stared into the void. He smiled while exhaling cigarette smoke.

Really fucking screwed.

* * *

Afterwards, Ignis had a long conversation with Danae.

“I want to know more about you, Ignis.”

That’s what Danae had said.

They weren’t children. Yet here they were chatting on the bed.

“So, didn’t you know? Haven’t you heard my nickname?”

“…I’ve heard you called a horny bastard.”

“It’s so different from Saint Danae’s pretty nickname that it’s embarrassing. Isn’t that right, holy Saint Danae?”

“Don’t do that. I hate that nickname.”

“Why? It’s such a great honor that a saint like you would like a bastard like me.”

“Stop joking around.”

He spoke as if joking, but he was sincere.

Yet they were still lying on the bed together, so desire kept rising.

Still, he endured.

‘This would be her first time.’

He didn’t want her to experience it hastily, in a place like this, in such a way.

Rather than a place like this, somewhere better… yes, like a palace overlooking the sea, or a villa with mountain sunset view, such beautiful places.

Such places would suit Danae.

And he found it strange that he was thinking such thoughts.

Originally, he wasn’t the type of person to care about such things…

“There’s really a secret storage in this room? Really?”

Not only that, but now he was lying on the bed having trivial chatter.

“Yeah. This room, it’s the one I used when I was little. It’s been vacant until now. So it seems no one has found it yet.”

“How fascinating. Where is that secret storage?”

“That’s…”

Obviously a secret. Am I crazy enough to tell you that?

“Creating such a secret place, you must have been quite the troublemaker even as a child, Ignis. How cute.”

“…”

But well…

It wouldn’t matter if he told her, would it?

Ignis realized that at this moment, his heart was unusually soft and relaxed.

But it should be fine.

Anyway, this girl would be leaving with him tomorrow. A girl who was abandoning her entire life to follow him, looking only at him.

It should be okay to share this much with such a girl.

Besides, those sparkling eyes wanting to know about him would surely become dejected if he didn’t tell her.

He absolutely didn’t want to see that.

So he told her. What he had never told anyone in his entire life.

What a strange night this was.

“Are you getting sleepy now?”

“A little.”

“Then let’s sleep. We agreed to leave tomorrow.”

“Right. We did.”

“Good night.”

Sleep was coming and he could no longer endure it.

Ignis closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes tomorrow, his life would be completely different. Ridiculously, he was looking forward to it…

“…sir?”

“Yeah, almost.”

But wait, what was that sound?

Ignis blinked his eyes in confusion.

“It’s been properly erased.”

“How fascinating.”

What is that?

‘White hair.’

Danae, that girl is sitting on the leather sofa.

Next to her is….

“I’ve finished erasing everything on this side too.”

Danae’s handsome secretary.

“Good work, Lete.”

Ignis couldn’t understand.

What are Danae and the secretary doing over there?

This is my bedroom. Just a moment ago, I think I fell asleep while having a conversation with Danae on the bed?

“Then, I’ll be going first.”

“Mm.”

Then the secretary bowed and left the room. Click, the door closed.

“…Hey.”

Ignis grabbed his aching head and raised his body.

“What, are you doing, right now?”

However, his head hurt so much that his words wouldn’t come out properly.

“What the hell right now.”

At that moment, Ignis’s words were cut short.

Scripture.

Danae was holding scripture in her hands.

Ignis barely managed to raise his body and strode over. He snatched the scripture from Danae’s hands.

“What is this, Danae.”

The voice that spilled out was cracked and broken.

“Where did you find this?”

“…From the place you told me about.”

The place I told her about?

Ah.

Before falling asleep. On the bed. The location of the secret storage I mentioned in passing….

“But.”

Danae looks at him as if annoyed.

“Can’t you just go back to sleep?”

“….”

Ignis stared at her quietly. He couldn’t understand what he had just heard.

“You barely fell asleep, so why are you getting up again?”

Is this a dream, he thought.

Otherwise, there’s no way Danae would look at him with those eyes.

Just moments ago, she was looking at him with eyes full of love….

Why is she looking at me like I’m trash?

Confused, Ignis rubbed his face dry. Then suddenly he spotted something between his fingers.

The wine glass on the table.

Danae’s glass was still full.

Danae hadn’t drunk a single drop.

“Ha.”

Then a tremendous shudder consumed Ignis. A very cold and merciless truth seemed to strike his head like an axe, splitting it apart.

“Ha, haha, ha.”

Because it hurt so much, he laughed with a dazed expression. Then Danae smiled irritably.

“Just sleep. Aren’t you sleepy?”

At that moment, crash.

The sound of glass breaking could be heard.

Something, something he had possessed for the first time in his life, began to crack and split apart.

Through those cracks, the woman smiled softly.

“Sleep, I’m telling you. Okay?”

It shattered.

It broke into pieces.

* * *

Truly, Ignis was like a monster.

‘He’s still like that even after taking such a strong sleeping drug?’

It was definitely a sleeping drug that could put even an elephant to sleep, one that could endanger the lives of ordinary people.

However, Dana had put it in the wine without hesitation.

Yet even after drinking an entire bottle of wine, that man only fell asleep after three hours had passed.

And even then, he woke up after just 30 minutes!

“Ah!”

Ignis grabbed her wrist. Thud! She was thrown against the bookshelf on the opposite side.

“You.”

His breath was hot. He was breathing so violently that he seemed like someone about to have a seizure.

Dana was impressed.

To regain that much strength after taking that medicine.

This man’s stamina was definitely better than an elephant’s.

“You, you.”

The next moment, Ignis roughly grabbed her hair. He brought his face, twisted like a beast, close to hers.

“You, you deceived me?”

“….”

“Tell me. Did you, did you deceive me?”

Ignis’s voice trembled mercilessly. Not only were his eyes bloodshot, but his eyelids were also red.

Was it because of the aftereffects of the sleeping drug? Or was it because he was shocked?

Either way, it didn’t matter.

“Wasn’t it you who deceived me, Lord Ignis?”

“…What?”

“The carriage attack, wasn’t that your own staged act, Lord Ignis?”
