I Plan to End This Possession — Chapter 1

GOODBYE, YEON DANA.

WAS IT A CRUEL TWIST OF FATE?

GASP...!

PUSHED BY SOMEONE'S HAND ON THE BRINK OF DEATH, "YEON DANA"

I POSSESSED THE BODY OF ‘DANAE WINDSOR’—DANA.

AND THREE YEARS AGO,

DON'T GO, DANAE!

PLEASE DON'T ABANDON ME...

...THE DIMENSIONAL GATE IS CLOSING. I HAVE TO GO.

IT WAS A HAPPY LIFE.

A WEALTHY FAMILY, LOVED ONES WHO CHERISHED ME.

EVEN THE RENOWN OF BEING CALLED A “SAINTESS” AND WONDROUS HOLY POWER, THOUGH I NEVER ASKED FOR EITHER.

FOR SOMEONE WHO MERELY TOOK OVER AN EMPTY SHELL, I ENJOYED FAR MORE THAN I EVER DESERVED.

YET WHAT HELD ME BACK THE MOST

WAS NONE OTHER THAN LOVE.

IT WAS ALWAYS LOVE.

RAIOS...

DO YOU REALLY HAVE TO GO?

BROTHER LUMIERE!

SISTER DANA, DON'T LEAVE!

YES, DANA!

WHERE ON EARTH COULD YOU GO, LEAVING YOUR FAMILY BEHIND?

ALICE.

EVEN UNCLE KARL...

THE LOCATION WHERE THE DIMENSIONAL GATE OPENED WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A SECRET... HOW DID YOU...?

DON'T WAVER.

NO MATTER HOW HAPPY I AM, THIS ISN'T MY LIFE.

I CAN'T JUST ABANDON "YEON DANA."

DANA.

PLEASE...

I WON'T GO.

AH, HONESTLY...

HURTING THE PEOPLE I LOVE...

I JUST CAN'T BRING MYSELF TO DO IT.

I'LL STAY HERE.

DANA—!

I LOVE YOU, DANA.

YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE FOR ME.

I WILL LOVE ONLY YOU FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE...

AH, EVEN THE AIR FEELS SWEET.

IT FELT AS THOUGH THE ENTIRE WORLD BELONGED TO US.

WITHOUT EVER REALIZING

THAT THIS "LOVE" HAD TRULY ENSNARED ME.

THREE YEARS LATER.

D-DANA... SISTER DANA

I-I MEAN...

GO ON. LET'S HEAR IT.

WHY YOU ARE DOING THIS IN MY FIANCÉ'S ROOM.

MOVE.

DON'T WORRY, ALICE.

I'LL HANDLE THIS, SO HEAD BACK FOR NOW.

BUT, YOUR HIGHNESS...

GO ON, QUICKLY.

.THIS CAN'T BE REAL.

I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT TELLING YOU SOONER.

I WAS PLANNING TO SPEAK WITH YOU ABOUT IT SOON.

BETWEEN YOU AND ALICE,

BOTH YOU AND ALICE.

WH.. WHAT?

IT'S NOT UNCOMMON UNDER IMPERIAL LAW

FOR COUSINS TO MARRY THE SAME MAN, IS IT?

HOW COULD YOU...

OF ALL PEOPLE,

CHEAT ON ME WITH ALICE...?

THIS ISN'T CHEATING.

IT'S LOVE.

I...

DANA, I SWEAR TO GOD,

I TRULY LOVE ALICE.

"YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE FOR ME."

LOV "I LOVE you, DANA."

LET GO OF ME!

JUST ACCEPT IT QUIETLY, DANA!

DO YOU REALLY EXPECT MY FEELINGS TO STAY THE SAME WHEN YOU ACT SO INSOLENTLY?

THE DIMENSIONAL GATE IS CLOSED,

AND YOU HAVE NOWHERE LEFT TO GO!

YOU BELONG TO THIS WORLD NOW, AND YOU ARE MY SUBJECT!

LIAR!!

WATCH YOUR STEP. THERE'S A POND RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU.

BROTHER LUMIERE...

BROTHER, LAIOS...

LAIOS CHEATED ON ME WITH ALICE...!

HE TOLD ME I WAS THE ONLY ONE HE LOVED!

HE SWORE HE WOULD LOVE ONLY ME,

HELD ME BACK WHEN I WAS TRYING TO LEAVE, AND NOW—!

GOOD GRIEF,

HONESTLY.

THAT'S ENOUGH.

THOSE TWO ARE SIMPLY IN LOVE.

AND STAYING IN THIS WORLD WAS YOUR OWN CHOICE, WASN'T IT?

YOUR SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT IS SUFFOCATING.

WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING RIGHT NOW?

HAS EVERYONE GONE COMPLETELY MAD?

NO, THE ONE WHO WAS CRAZY...

THEY SAY DANA CAUGHT ALICE WITH THE CROWN PRINCE.

GOODNESS, SHE SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN CAUGHT SO SOON.

I NEED TO MAINTAIN MY LEGAL GUARDIANSHIP FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER YEAR...

...SO THAT I CAN BECOME THE PRIMARY HEIR TO DANA'S ESTATE.

WHAT'S THE POINT OF BECOMING THE PRIMARY HEIR?

AS LONG AS SHE'S ALIVE, THAT FORTUNE WILL NEVER BE OURS.

THAT'S WHY...

...WE'LL HAVE TO CUT HER LIFE SHORT.

—THE ONE WHO WAS CRAZY.

THE ONE BLINDED BY LOVE WHO FAILED TO SEE THE TRUTH.

WAS ME.

"JUST ACCEPT IT QUIETLY, DANA!"

"THE DIMENSIONAL GATE IS CLOSED, AND YOU HAVE NOWHERE LEFT TO GO!"

"WHAT ELSE CAN YOU DO?"

"IT'S NOT LIKE YOU CAN RETURN TO YOUR OWN WORLD ANYMORE."

"SO WE'LL JUST HAVE TO BREAK HER WILL."

WAS I... DECEIVED?

ALL OF IT?

EVERY LAST THING?

EVERY SINGLE BIT?

...AH.

THOSE BASTARDS.

THE DAY I WAS BETRAYED BY THE PEOPLE I TRUSTED, I MADE UP MY MIND.

YES.

THIS TIME, ONCE AND FOR ALL—
