I’m Trying to End This Possession Chapter 260

“What are you thinking about, Dana?”

 

This… Damn it… Dana’s face heated up out of anger. She was so unbelievably angry. “Get lost. I don’t even want to look at you.”

 

“Hmm? But you’re the one who called me out.” He smiled very gently. “You wanted to see me, didn’t you?”

 

“It’s not you I want to see, but the relic you have.”

 

“Liar. You like me, Dana.”

 

“No.”

 

“You said I was someone important to you.”

 

“No.”

 

“Do you remember what kind of expression I made when I heard that?”

 

Dana’s fingertips trembled. She remembered. At the Red Ship, the moment Yustio was going to kill Carl. She then fired the gun mercilessly at Yustio’s back. Her lips moved to save Carl. Because he’s someone important to her, so don’t hurt him. And she remembered that smile. Carl Windsor’s smile, as if he had realized everything.

 

“Poor thing.” It sighed, as if it genuinely pitied her. “In the end, you were deceived by Carl. Even though you tried so hard not to be deceived.”

 

“I said that’s not it.”

 

“Carl’s goal is your body.” It swept its gaze over her body. “Of course, not in a sexual way. As you know, Carl Windsor has never once been romantically attracted to you.”

 

“I don’t care. That kind of thing doesn’t interest me.”

 

“On the other hand, you’ve been captivated by Carl Windsor many times. Only you, by yourself.” A gaze full of pity turned toward her. “Pitiful and foolish Dana.”

 

Hearing the truth spoken with his face and his voice, Dana felt a stabbing humiliation.

 

“Carl merely plans to want and use you as a tool. By using you, he intends to destroy your true body in the Ice Lake.”

 

Dana’s face turned pale. She couldn’t breathe. In a cracked voice, she asked, “Did Viego… plant information into my head too?”

 

“No.” It tilted its head with a smile. “This is your own information.”

 

“…”

 

“It’s the truth that already exists in your mind, the truth you already realized.”

 

Dana reached out her hand. She fumbled on the nightstand. Her fingertips caught something. She grabbed it and hurled it. Crash! The sound of glass shattering snapped her out of it. Gasp, gasp, she breathed roughly.

 

The vase she had thrown had shattered against the wall. And now, neither Carl nor Viego was there. Only she remained standing. Has it disappeared?

 

“Are you okay, Dana?”

 

Ah. Damn it. It hadn’t disappeared.

 

This time, the voice of Rumie came from behind her.

 

“Calm down first and listen a little more.”

 

Not the Rumie who had left the room earlier, but the Rumie created by her suffering now. The voice of the man she wanted to lean on, the man who had always been on her side in every timeline.

 

“Disappear…” Dana tightly shut her eyes. Before she realized it, cold sweat had formed on her forehead. “Please, I’ve heard enough information already, so disappear.”

 

Had it finally listened to her words? She could no longer hear any voices.

 

Dana slowly opened her eyes. At least, she was alone. Truly alone. The moment she realized it, a massive loneliness suddenly washed over her. A loneliness like falling into a deep pit. Into the pitch-black, dark abyss…

 

“…I’ll say this one last time.”

 

Dana bit her lip hard. Damn it. It still hasn’t disappeared? And this time, it’s that guy.

 

“You have sixty days left. As time passes, your health will worsen, and you will suffer great pain.”

 

“…”

 

“So it would be best for you to put your affairs in order as soon as possible, Dana.”

 

“Get lost, Raios.”

 

“You must be feeling very suffocated inside. Enough to the point of missing me.” It let out a soft laugh. “Right. I suppose I’m the only one who understands you right now.”

 

“…”

 

“At least I know very well. The confusion, loneliness, and even madness you’re feeling right now…”

 

And finally, the voice faded away. Tick, tick, tick, tick. The ticking of the clock’s second hand filled the silence. As the sound continued, her breathing slowly calmed, and her mind grew clearer.

 

Dana closed her eyes, then opened them. The relic. Let’s only think about that. Let’s get the holy relic quickly. Before this body’s lifespan runs out.

 

This body absolutely must not die. Of the countless memories she has now, she won’t forget even a single one. Because Dana had told Yustio that she would not forgive anyone. But that wasn’t the only reason.

 

Danae Windsor and Danae Geranze know the locations of the holy relics. There wasn’t only one holy relic in this world. Both Danae Windsor and Danae Geranze knew about the relics. Holy relics other than the deputy head’s ring, which Carl Windsor possessed. So there was no need to chase him anymore. Until now, even though Dana hated and resented Carl because of the relic, she could never break away and kept circling around him… Now I don’t need Carl Windsor anymore.

 

She would never forget these memories. Her anger and hatred toward Demian, Rodrigo, and Viego. And…

 

“Dana is a wraith that burrows into men of the Windsor family.”

 

Carl’s true feelings. The feeling of that man, which had been so impossible to understand and endlessly confusing. Dana never wanted to forget it.

 

Suddenly, a laugh slipped out of her lips. Raios. Raios Geranze, who had remembered countless timelines before her, no, even earlier than her. So this is how it felt. This must be how he went mad. Just like I am now.

 

What is Raios doing right now? What is he thinking? She simply couldn’t deny it. Right now, Dana was curious about Raios.

 

* * *

It was on the bed.

 

“Raios.” Princess Danae Geranze confessed with a resolute expression. “I’m pregnant.”

 

“What?”

 

“I said I’m pregnant.”

 

Pregnant? Sister is pregnant?

 

“So, how about ending the war now? It’s not good for prenatal care.”

 

“…”

 

“Huh? Raios.”

 

Raios asked without even realizing it, “Whose child is it?”

 

The moment he said that, Danae Geranze’s face flushed red. “What did you just say?”

 

“…”

 

“Do you think there’s a possibility it isn’t your child?”

 

Well… of course…

 

“Yes,” Raios answered honestly.

 

Even after they became lovers, hadn’t she slept with other men? Of course, after their relationship grew deeper, she promised never to do it again. But by then, Raios already knew the woman named Danae Geranze far too well. And he loved her deeply enough not to even care about those aspects. More than anything, he had faithfully taken contraceptives in preparation for any possible situation.

 

In the end, Raios could only apologize for his distrust. “I’m sorry for not being able to trust you despite having witnessed scenes of infidelity several times until now.”

 

“…Are you mocking me right now?”

 

“What? No, I’m not.”

 

“…” Danae glared at him and abruptly got up from the bed. “Forget it. I’m leaving.”

 

“What? W-Wait—”

 

“I said forget it!”

 

Bang! Danae Geranze quickly put on her clothes and left his bedroom.

 

“Wait, please!”

 

Raios hurriedly threw on a robe and chased after her barefoot, but the instant Danae glared at him with icy eyes, he froze stiff and stopped in place. She was terrifying enough to make chills run down his spine.

 

“What? Say it.”

 

“T-That’s…”

 

Dana looked at him with the eyes of a judge. The more she did, the more terrified Raios became. In the end, he couldn’t open his mouth. Because she was the only person in the world he feared.

 

“Can’t you even speak properly? Are you a child?”

 

“W-Well…”

 

“Why do you keep mumbling? You’re past the age of babbling, aren’t you?”

 

“…”

 

“I really can’t stand younger men.” As he remained speechless, Danae Geranze glared at him as if she wanted to kill him. “Be honest. Isn’t this religious war actually something you’re dragging on because of your pride and competitive spirit? Are you really continuing it for my sake?”

 

“…”

 

“You can’t even believe it’s your child. How far are you willing to fall for a woman you can’t even trust? Please stop already!” After shouting explosively, Danae Geranze turned around and walked away.

 

Raios remained frozen in place. He couldn’t stop her. Words boiled up in his throat. I don’t care whose child it is. Any child you give birth to, I’ll raise as my own anyway. Even if you don’t want me to.
