I’m Trying to End This Possession Chapter 205

* * *

Sandra Rolland was seized by a tremendous shock.

 

“Welcome home, Danaena. I am your grandfather, Anton Rolland.”

 

“Thank you for welcoming me, Grandfather. May I call you Grandpa?”

 

“Hahaha! Of course!”

 

It was unavoidable. The Danaena, whom Rumie had brought from the holy land, was known as ‘Sandra Rolland’s daughter.’

 

Why… Why does she look exactly like Danae Windsor? Except for the color of her eyes, she was identical to Danae Windsor from head to toe!

 

“Now, this is your mother, Sandra. Greet her.”

 

The moment their eyes met, Sandra felt like vomiting.

 

“Mother.”

 

Mother, she said.

 

“I’ve missed you, Mother.”

 

The next moment, ‘it’ came over and hugged her tightly. Sandra wanted to scream.

 

Father, what is going on here?! Sandra glared at Anton Rolland, her father.

 

A few months ago, her father spoke.

 

“Sandra, let’s just say you have another daughter.”

 

To create a fake daughter.

 

“Danaena is an artificial human created by Daiana Church.”

 

“What? An artificial human?”

 

“Yes. To make her, my older brother donated his blood while he was alive.”

 

An artificial human mixed with her uncle’s blood. It was utterly bizarre. Sandra knew the Daiana Church conducted strange experiments. Allice’s biological father had told her so. And her father treated Danaena’s existence like a treasure.

 

“Danaena is a higher lifeform, a step above humans. She possesses purification abilities, a truly great being.”

 

But since they couldn’t reveal that to the world, he planned to announce her as a daughter of the Rolland family.

 

“Danaena can purify the rotten land. A saintess will come from the Rolland family. A saintess who will be remembered in history!”

 

So Sandra was being told to pretend Danaena was her own daughter.

 

Sandra had already faced all sorts of criticism once because of the illegitimate child, Rumie, and now she was to make another one?

 

“In any case, Sandra, your reputation is already in the gutter. Is there any honor left to ruin?”

 

In the end, Sandra had no choice but to accept. In exchange, she was given a large maintenance allowance, so it wasn’t a bad deal. But who would have thought that woman’s face would look exactly like the woman she hated most.

 

Danae Windsor… Because of her, Sandra’s life was ruined. Carl, her ex-husband, had been bewitched by her niece and abandoned her, his lawful wife!

 

Sandra steadied herself. That girl is not Danae Windsor. That nightmarish girl was already dead. She wasn’t Danae, who had stolen Carl. So it was fine…

 

“Um, when I lost my memory, there was someone who took care of me. My benefactor.”

 

“Is that so? Who is this benefactor?”

 

Danaena shyly smiled. “It’s Lord Carl Windsor.”

 

At that moment, Sandra’s face cracked. Who?

 

“I heard that Lord Carl is your ex-husband, Mother.”

 

“…Yes.”

 

“Um, so it’s really awkward for me to say this.” Danaena hesitated, then carefully spoke. “I… love him.”

 

Silence fell instantly.

 

“I want to marry him.”

 

At that moment, Sandra heard a deafening sound as if her world was collapsing. It was a nightmare all over again.

Miona is an executive of the anti-church leader faction. Purifying her instead of killing her had been the best choice.

 

“I don’t know anything. Just kill me instead!”

 

Of course, there was some resistance at first.

 

“When executives of the anti-church leader escaped the Grand Cathedral, they stole something from inside.”

 

Using the black core, Dana repeatedly rotted Miona’s body and then purified it, over and over again. After torturing her like that, Miona finally revealed information.

 

“They stole an ancient relic, the door to the Ice Lake.”

 

“Door? And what’s that?”

 

“It’s a mirror.”

 

“A mirror? The mirror is a door? Are you kidding me now?”

 

“It’s true! They said that mirror is a door to the Ice Lake!”

 

Miona cried out desperately.

 

“Usually it’s just an ordinary mirror, but if certain conditions are met, the door opens. You know about Mirror Lake, right? It shares a similar principle!”

 

Mirror Lake. Of course Dana knew. Carl had tried to throw her into that lake to get to the Ice Lake.

 

Yeah, Carl tried to kill me back then. She still vividly remembered almost drowning in Mirror Lake. Even the strong arms that pulled her out at the last moment—everything.

 

Ridiculous. He should have either killed me or saved me. His indecisiveness was truly something else. Dana smirked crookedly.

 

To travel to the Ice Lake through the ‘mirror,’ just like with Mirror Lake, a medium was needed. Something identical to what was submerged in the Ice Lake. That’s me. And Dana knew how to get her hands on that mirror.

 

“Mother.”

 

Sandra Rolland. She could use this woman.

 

“Is it alright for me to love him?” After confirming the twitching of Sandra’s facial muscles, Dana looked to Duke Anton Rolland and pleaded. “I want to marry him.” Of course, she wasn’t sincere.

 

Dana’s main goal was to provoke Sandra. To the point Sandra would want to kill ‘Danaena Rolland.’ And to achieve that, Sandra would need to borrow the power of that man, Allice’s biological father, one of her own lovers.

 

I’ll lure him out and steal the mirror.

 

Dana glanced at Rumie. Was he surprised by this shocking declaration? Rumie looked at her with a strange expression.

 

“Um, is that even legally possible in the empire?” At that moment, his wife Ingria cautiously asked.

 

Rumie answered in her stead. “Yes. It’s not common, but it is possible.”

 

“I see.”

 

“If you have more questions, just ask, Ingria.”

 

“Yes, thank you, Rumie.”

 

How kind. Dana managed to control her crooked lips that wanted to twist into a sneer.

 

How much silence passed?

 

“That would be difficult.” It was Anton Rolland who broke the silence. You already have marriage talks with Duke Viego Windsor, don’t you?”

 

“The duke has given his consent.” Of course, that was a lie. Dana had never talked about it with Viego. “If only you and Mother give permission, I was told that marriage to Lord Carl could be arranged.”

 

But Dana was sure that Viego wouldn’t care. As long as she produced descendants with the power of purification, he wouldn’t be concerned with anything else. To him, she was nothing but a tool for purification. As long as she fulfilled her role, he wouldn’t interfere.

 

“So please, allow me to marry Lord Carl.”

 

“That’s not allowed!” Bang! Sandra slammed her palm on the table and shouted at the top of her lungs. “Absolutely, absolutely not!” She glared at her with wild eyes and practically spat out her words. “Listen, Danaena. I am your biological mother, and Carl was my husband!”

 

“But…”

 

“Carl and I were married for a long time! And now my daughter wants to marry my ex-husband? If you have any sense of shame or morality, you couldn’t possibly say that!”

 

At this, Duke Rolland shook his head with a faint, sarcastic smile. “Sandra, you’re in no position to talk about shame or morality.”

 

“Father!”

 

“If a man like Carl could become part of our family again, I’d be delighted. If my granddaughter gives birth to a son who takes after Carl, it would be a great joy for the Rolland family.” He seemed to have already weighed everything in his mind. “And Danaena says she loves Carl.”

 

“Father, how could you say such a thing!”

 

“As it happens, Allice has expressed a desire for a family gathering. Perfect timing. Let’s propose it to Carl then.” Duke Rolland patted Dana’s shoulder and smiled contentedly. “If Carl agrees, we’ll proceed with the marriage.”
