Chapter 95

Was he dumbfounded by her rare defiance, or had he lost his words from indignation?

Viego said nothing more.

He simply turned away from her with a cold expression, as if he didn’t even want to deal with her.

‘Did I say too much?’

For a moment, she had this thought—

‘No, I have the right to say at least this much.’

No matter how gentle and kind ‘Danae Windsor’s’ image was, she had sacrificed her body to eliminate the fake scripture.

And yet he called her vulgar!

‘Even a real saint would slap someone for saying such things.’

But it would be troublesome to completely lose Viego’s favor.

So she decided to limit her rebellion to this point and poured whiskey into his empty glass again.

“I did it because I wanted to receive praise from you, brother. So please, brother, calm your anger. I’ll be more careful from now on.”

She added one last comment.

“Either way, the Windsor Family is safe, isn’t it? Just as you wished, brother.”

—Though of course, I don’t know how long it will stay safe.

At least for now, it was.

* * *

The Windsor Family formally filed charges against Ignis de Windsor.

For the crime of attempting to kidnap Danae Windsor, they demanded severe punishment.

Under pressure from the great noble family, the Supreme Court threw Ignis into the underground prison despite no verdict being reached yet.

And Ignis was…

“Hey there, prison guard. Please just make the visitation request for me!”

The guard clicked his tongue. As soon as that damn prisoner regained consciousness, this was what he kept saying.

“Tell Danae Windsor to come visit me. I have something important to tell her. Huh? Huh? Huuuh?”

He kept making a fuss, demanding they call the young lady of the Windsor Family.

“Tell Danae that I’m going crazy missing her so she should hurry up and come see me! If not, I’ll keep shouting aaaaaaah—!”

Fed up with his rampage that continued for days, the guard informed Danae Windsor of the situation.

And the reply came today.

“Here, the Duke Windsor’s daughter asked me to deliver this.”

The guard pushed the note through the bars. Ignis quickly grabbed it and read it.

[Declined.

—Danae Windsor]

“Haha.”

Ignis let out a bitter laugh.

“What a wicked girl, really.”

Then he weakly leaned his head against the wall.

All his plans had failed.

Not only that.

His ankle was completely destroyed. Stupidly, he got shot without even thinking to dodge.

He was even dragged to this prison. He hadn’t resisted even once, powerlessly.

It couldn’t be helped. At that moment, Ignis was in a complete state of panic.

It was probably due to the aftereffects of the sleeping drug.

Ignis believed that.

And this was the result.

“The nerves in your ankle are completely damaged.”

The physician’s diagnosis of permanent disability.

“You won’t be able to stand or walk anymore.”

That wasn’t the only shitty thing.

A note also came from his accomplice in this affair—it was full of code, but when deciphered, the content was essentially this:

[There are bribed watchers in the prison.

Since our trail might be discovered, there will be no support.

Escape on your own.]

It was a hopeless situation.

But there was no sense of powerlessness.

Rather, Ignis’s mind was clearer than ever. Something like a blazing torch in the darkness seemed to set his entire heart on fire.

It was hot, burning, painful, and tingling.

Ignis muttered that name that reeked of acrid smoke.

“Dana.”

Danae Windsor.

“Dana…”

He would get his hands on that girl.

He would mess up that clean face and play with her to his heart’s content until he got sick of it.

Ignis licked his dry lips with his tongue.

He would torture her with hope several times, telling her he’d let her live if she obeyed, play with her for a long time, then kill her when he got bored.

Ignis grinned and spoke to the guard.

“Hey, guard. Do you happen to have family? Children?”

“…Why are you asking such things?”

“I’m considering whether to let you keep your life or not.”

At those words, the guard scoffed.

“What could you possibly do in that state? You can’t walk or stand for the rest of your life now.”

The guard bent down. Beyond the iron bars, he faced Ignis and sneered.

“Do you know what that means? Forget escaping, you can’t even get up… Guhk!”

Bang!

Ignis’s hand shot out like lightning and grabbed the guard by the collar. The guard’s face was crushed against the iron bars.

“Kuk, keuk, eok!”

It felt like his neck bones would break. With truly terrifying grip strength, the guard could only struggle. Ignis easily snatched the key and gun from the guard’s waist.

“What are you doing!”

“Let go of him!”

Then other guards came running.

Ignis stretched his arm through the iron bars. Without even looking, he aimed the gun. Exactly five shots, he fired without hesitation.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

His shooting seemed so careless, as if he was just randomly firing into the air.

“Aaah!”

But all five guards collapsed simultaneously like marionettes with cut strings.

Having hit their shins precisely at vital points, Ignis said indifferently.

“It’ll hurt, but try to hold back your screams. The heads of those who can’t hold back will fly off first.”

It all happened in an instant.

While everyone was struggling to hold back their screams, only the guard in charge who had his gun taken spoke up bravely.

“Y-you’re doing something pointless. You can’t even stand up…”

Thud, the guard’s words were cut off.

Ignis was slowly rising from his spot!

Then he reached through the iron bars and click, unlocked the lock with the key.

“Y-y-your ankle.”

“Oh. Right. It was completely shattered. Hurt like hell.”

“I definitely saw it. I saw your ankle all mangled!”

“I have pretty good recovery ability.”

“M-monster…”

“Monster?”

As if he liked those words, Ignis burst into laughter.

“Not bad. Then go around saying that.”

Ignis tapped the guard’s temple with the gun.

“Say that the Windsor Family is a monster training ground, that the Windsor Family raises monsters. That I too am a monster bastard created by Windsor.”

He pressed down with the gun muzzle and smiled playfully.

“How about it. Will you go around spreading rumors? Then I’ll let you live.”

“Y-yes, I understand. So please, just spare my life…”

“And you, you were bought off by Danae, weren’t you?”

The guard’s lips trembled. Ignis giggled.

“Tell that bitch clearly.”

Ignis stared intensely as if Danae were beyond the guard’s pupils.

“I’ll come to propose again, so tell her to wait.”

* * *

Karl snorted and closed the newspaper.

I knew this would happen.

‘I wondered why that guy went along so quietly when he was captured.’

His mangled ankle must have healed completely too. Since he had expected this, it wasn’t even surprising.

However.

‘Dana will be shocked. What should I do.’

The thought that fragile Dana would be shocked made him feel uncomfortable… just as he was thinking that.

Karl saw a man and woman passing through the garden below the window.

A young man with a smooth face, and.

‘Dana?’

Karl immediately opened the window and jumped down below. He landed silently and quickly hid behind a tree.

“It’s an honor. I really never thought my sculpture would be in the Windsor Estate…”

“It’s my most beloved work, Caravaggio.”

Instantly, heat rushed to Karl’s head.

Most beloved work?

Beloved… she said?

Using the word love for a mere work of art? What if that artist misunderstands?

‘Dana is just too innocent.’

That’s why there are so many flies swarming around trying to get at her fortune.

Karl hid behind the tree and watched them for a long time.
