I Plan to End This Possession — Chapter 13

YOU'LL REGRET THIS.

I'LL MAKE YOU REGRET TREATING ME THIS WAY, DANAE WINDSOR...!

I CAN'T GO ON LIVING LIKE THIS, BEING LOOKED DOWN ON!

YOU'RE TERRIBLE AT MARKSMANSHIP.

YOU'RE TERRIBLE AT SWORDSMANSHIP...

TERRIBLE AT HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT.

TO THINK MY ONLY SON IS SO HOPELESS AT BEING A NAVAL OFFICER.

LEARN FROM YOUR NEPHEW, LUMIERE, YOU PATH- ETIC FOOL.

DAMMIT!

WHEN ON EARTH WILL THE THING I ORDERED BE READY?!!

PLEASE CALM DOWN, MY LORD.

HERE IS THE ITEM YOU REQUESTED.

HOWEVER, PLEASE BE CAREFUL.

IF THIS SUBSTANCE IS MISUSED, IT CAN TURN SOMEONE INTO A COMPLETE IDIOT.

WHAT?

AN IDIOT?

TO MY ETERNAL FLOWER, DANA. PLEASE FORGIVE MY MISTAKE YESTERDAY. I'M WORRIED THAT YOUR MOST BEAUTIFUL YEAR, YOUR TWENTY-THIRD, MIGHT PASS BY...

I'M BUSY, AND YET HE KEEPS PULLING THIS POINTLESS NONSENSE...

MILADY, HERE IS YOUR CHAMOMILE TEA.

THANKS. JUST LEAVE IT THERE.

IT REALLY DOES GET CHILLY AT NIGHT.

THOUGH IT DOES HELP ME CONCENTRATE.

...WHAT IS THIS FEELING?

I MISS LORD JUAN.

NO. "MISSING HIM" DOESN'T BEGIN TO COVER IT.

I MUST MARRY LORD JUAN IMMEDIATELY!

HURRY! I HAVE TO GO SEE HIM RIGHT AWAY.

I'M GOING TO HOLD HIM AND KISS HIM RIGHT NOW!

DANA!

THIS MAN IS...

DANA? WHAT'S THE MATTER?

WHO WAS HE AGAIN?

LET GO. I'M BUSY.

DANA, YOU SHOULDN'T BE WANDERING AROUND DRESSED LIKE THAT SO LATE AT NIGHT.

ON A NIGHT LIKE THIS, WITH THE MOON SHINING SO BRIGHTLY, YOUR CLOTHES...

LET ME GO!

YES, YES. I'LL LET YOU GO.

LET'S GET YOU PROPERLY DRESSED FIRST.

LET GO! LET GO! I SAID LET GO OF ME!

JUAN...

I'M GOING TO LORD JUAN!!!

WHY JUAN?

I HAVE TO MARRY HIM.

SO LET GO OF ME, THIS INSTANT!

HM?

WHY WOULD OUR DANA HAVE TO MARRY JUAN?

LORD JUAN AND I ARE IN LOVE.

HE PROPOSED TO ME.

I'M GOING TO MARRY HIM!

JUAN DID THIS TO YOU...?

NOW... THAT'S A PROBLEM, DANA.

LET ME GO!

IT SEEMS MY BROTHER-IN-LAW HAS SEDUCED YOU.

I TOLD YOU TO LET GO!

THEN AGAIN, SOMEONE AS INNOCENT AS YOU COULD EASILY BE SWEPT OFF HER FEET.

THAT BASTARD DOESN'T LOVE YOU.

HE'S ONLY AFTER YOUR FORTUNE.

LET ME GO...

AH... LORD JUAN...

I HAVE TO... GO TO HIM...

FATHER?

AH, JUST IN TIME.

LUMIERE.

WE WILL HAVE TO KILL JUAN.

...WHAT WAS THAT JUST NOW?

WHAT JUST HAPPENED?

DANA?

DANA!

YOU SHOULDN'T BE WANDERING AROUND DRESSED LIKE THAT SO LATE AT NIGHT.

ON A NIGHT WHEN THE MOON IS AS BRIGHT AS IT IS TONIGHT, YOUR CLOTHES ARE...

—SO THAT WAS IT.
