Chapter 98

It was on the way back with Karl.

“Excuse me, Lady Danae Windsor?”

A man approached. It was the dormitory supervisor from the Military Academy she had seen before.

“I’m sorry to bother you. Could you perhaps visit Military Cadet Noah Windsor once?”

“What’s the matter?”

“Well, Military Cadet Noah Windsor’s academic performance has been terribly poor lately. And furthermore…”

“It’s fine, please speak comfortably.”

At those words, the supervisor seemed to gain courage and spoke quickly.

“He’s breaking dormitory rules.”

“Rules? What kind of rules?”

“There are so many. We’ve been giving warnings, but you know how it is. Such things don’t really have much meaning…”

In the end, it meant that since the young master from a great noble family wouldn’t listen and was causing trouble, they wanted his family to do something about it.

Then Karl tapped her shoulder and pointed to himself.

“Should I go take a look?”

“…”

Dana thought for a moment, then shook her head.

‘I can’t give him this kind of role.’

He was someone she would push out from the deputy head position soon. She couldn’t let him take charge of controlling family members.

“No. I’ll go take a look. Uncle, please go back first.”

“Huh? Me first?”

“Yes. I’ll talk with Noah for a bit before going.”

“Can’t we go together? I’ll wait in the carriage.”

“No. You’ll be busy now, you need to prepare.”

Dana grabbed his hand and her eyes sparkled.

“Please, I’m counting on what I mentioned earlier. I’m relying only on you, Uncle.”

The membership card, please make sure to bring it. She smiled with that kind of expression.

In front of Noah’s room in the dormitory.

“Noah, are you inside?”

She knocked, but there was no response. The supervisor looked troubled and held out a key.

“Here, there is a spare key…”

“Thank you. I’ll go in and take a look, so you can go now.”

“Yes, then.”

There was only one reason for sending the supervisor away first.

‘Because he’ll throw something when I go in.’

He’d probably throw a pillow or book while telling me to get lost. She didn’t want others to see that scene.

“Noah, I’m coming in.”

Creak. She opened the door and entered.

At that moment, Dana wrinkled her nose.

‘Cigarette smell.’

That wasn’t all. There was cigarette smell, alcohol smell, and even a strangely nauseating odor.

‘What did he do all night?’

The living room was full of all kinds of liquor bottles. The ashtray was piled high with cigarette butts…

‘What is that.’

She also discovered things that shouldn’t be there.

They were all things prohibited in the dormitory.

Dana was dumbfounded and let out a hollow laugh as she approached the bedroom this time.

The bedroom door was slightly ajar.

On the bed, she could see a man sleeping with his platinum hair disheveled.

And the man wasn’t alone.

“…Who are you?”

There was a woman.

A naked woman, at that.

“Who are you to— Ah.”

Did she recognize Dana? The woman who had been lying next to the man bolted upright. She hurriedly picked up clothes and put them on.

“Um, well, the thing is.”

“It’s fine, please leave.”

“Yes, yes!”

As the female student rushed out, Dana sighed and approached the bed.

“…What.”

Was he just waking up now?

Under the sunlight, the man who glowed pale white made all sorts of expressions as he sat up. The blanket slid down smoothly.

Then his skin with a steel-like texture was revealed, along with his solid arms and back packed with firm muscles.

Dana paused for a moment.

‘Is that really Noah?’

It was Noah. But for a moment she thought it was someone else.

Perhaps because her memories of his young boyhood were so strong? Seeing his body that was no different from a fully developed soldier created a sense of disconnect.

However, Noah showed no sign of surprise even upon seeing her.

He simply swept his disheveled hair back, then fumbled on the side table and grabbed a cigarette pack.

He put a cigarette in his mouth and lit it with a click. Then he looked at her as if she were bothersome.

“Why did you come here?”

Dana was speechless at his shockingly debauched appearance.

Far from being flustered, he wasn’t even trying to hide it.

‘Well, he always ignores me anyway, so that’s understandable.’

But he must know this would reach Viego’s ears, right? Yet he’s being so brazenly shameless?

Dana found Noah at this moment too unfamiliar.

‘I heard Noah was still a model student though.’

Noah’s biggest acts of rebellion were at most alcohol and cigarettes, just that level.

An excellent Military Cadet with good grades, who even had the innocence to blush when you explained in detail what debauchery meant.

But he had become like this while she wasn’t looking?

‘Well, he was quite close with Justin. I heard they’d been roommates ever since entering the Military Academy.’

Since his best friend was murdered, the shock must be great.

That was about the extent of her sentiment. She wasn’t particularly worried anymore.

“There was a girl here. Is she your girlfriend?”

Then Noah furrowed his brow.

“A girl?”

“Yes.”

“I don’t even remember who she was, so girlfriend my ass.”

Her head throbbed for a moment. This kid had completely gone off the rails while she wasn’t looking.

Dana opened her mouth.

She was going to say it. To Noah.

What the dormitory supervisor expected of her. The nagging she should give about this behavior. However.

‘…How bothersome.’

Dana lost her will and closed her mouth.

Right. One visit was enough for appearances. Anyway, no matter what I say, he won’t listen, so there’s no need to bother talking.

Then, Noah got down from the bed and stood up. Seeing him wearing only minimal underwear, Dana was startled and turned around.

‘Is he crazy?’

Could he still be drunk?

Noah roughly threw on a silk robe hanging on the clothes rack and tied the strings. Then he said.

“Anyway, good that you came.”

…What?

Doubting her ears, she slowly turned around to see Noah sitting on the edge of the bed again.

“I’ve been wanting to see you once.”

“You wanted to see me?”

“That’s right.”

Noah crossed his legs and tapped cigarette ash into the ashtray on the side table.

“Having fun these days?”

“What?”

“Your popularity has been amazing lately.”

Dana immediately realized what Noah was talking about.

The nude painting.

He was talking about that nude painting.

“Did you see it too?”

“Ah, well.”

Noah twisted his lips and shrugged his shoulders.

“I can’t say I didn’t see it.”

Thump. Her heart seemed to drop roughly to the floor. Dana clenched her fists and glared at him.

“When did you do such modeling work? It’s not like you’re short on money.”

Noah looked at Dana with an observing gaze, then muttered as if to himself.

“Or is it a hobby.”

Whoosh, he exhaled cigarette smoke long and chuckled.

“Yes. Well, I respect it. Tastes are diverse. You might be a woman who enjoys having such appearances captured on canvas.”

“….”

“Viego Windsor might not know. No wait. He might already have one too.”

That vicious joke even had a self-destructive air to it.

But Dana could no longer hear anything. She walked swiftly forward. She raised her hand high and slapped Noah’s cheek hard.

Smack!

Noah’s face turned. His spotlessly white skin instantly flushed red.

But that was all. He sneered with a face that showed it didn’t even tickle.

“Pathetically weak… I feel sorry for the life you’ll live with such strength.”

“Shut your mouth, Noah Windsor. Your life with that rotten personality is the one that’s pitiable.”

“Haha. You can say such things too?”

He slowly stood up.

His gaze, his eye level changed instantly. Noah’s eyes that had been below rose far above.

A sudden overwhelming pressure. Only then did Dana truly realize that Noah was as tall as Viego. For the first time, she realized it.

“Did I say something wrong? Aren’t you ashamed of doing modeling work for such paintings?”

“Don’t make assumptions. I never did modeling work. That painting, the artist drew it from his own imagination.”

“I wonder. For something drawn from imagination alone, it looked exactly like you.”

He crossed his arms and tilted his head sideways.

“Or why don’t you undress once now.”

 

 

For a moment, the back of her head went numb.

What am I hearing right now.

“What are you doing. I said undress.”

An angelic, brilliantly white beautiful face spoke like a demon.

“I’ll check for you whether it’s the same as the painting or not.”

Dana raised her hand high again to slap his cheek once more.

But Noah didn’t meekly take it this time.

He roughly grabbed her wrist and pulled hard. Bang, her face collided with his chest.

“Let go of this!”

“Listen carefully.”

Noah lowered his head. He whispered maliciously in her ear.

“It seems like my life got ruined because of you.”

“Let go!”

“So don’t hover around in front of me. I might ruin your life too.”

Only then did the strength leave his hands.

Instead of stepping back, Dana stubbornly slapped his cheek.

Smaaack―!

“Ah.”

His lip split. As red blood flowed, Noah chuckled and wiped it away with his thumb.

“Better than before.”

“Don’t worry, Noah Windsor. From this moment on, I’ll never speak a single word to you again.”

Dana spat out fiercely and turned to walk away. Bang! The sound of the door closing rang out loudly.

“Haha….”

Noah collapsed back onto the bed weakly. For some reason, he couldn’t stop the bitter laughter that welled up.

So this is the end.

How anticlimactic. I thought she’d fight more.

That woman doesn’t even ask why I’m acting like this.

Because she has no interest in me whatsoever.

Accepting this now clearly realized fact quite calmly, Noah hugged the blanket tightly. He could feel faint warmth from the blanket. It soothed the chill.

Whose body temperature could it be.

Come to think of it, there was a woman here.

I really can’t remember who it was. Actually, it didn’t matter who it was either.

Even at this moment, the air flowing into his lungs was cold, so Noah burrowed into the blanket.

He wanted to hold someone. At least while skin touched skin, he wasn’t cold, and no thoughts entered his head.

No thoughts….

Clatter.

At the sound, Noah slowly opened his eyes.

Clatter clatter. A faint sound came from the adjacent room. Noah just listened blankly.

Clatter, creak.

Creeeak….

Noah closed his eyes again.

The adjacent room was dead Justin’s room.
