【Chapter 154】

Contrary to my hopes, Lucas began charging toward Sedric with gritted teeth.

‘Wait, isn’t this the same person who just promised not to get angry?’

I wanted to follow my brother and stop him, but my injured leg made it difficult to move.

“Ugh.”

In the end, I sat down right where I was.

And I watched my brother throw a punch straight at Sedric.

“How can you still be my blood after doing that!”

Oh my. Another fight.

Lucas’s fist sent Sedric’s head snapping to the side.

He had been looking around as if surveying the surrounding environment, but frowned at the unexpected attack.

Sedric, who had been casually wiping the blood from his lips with the back of his hand, stood up.

“I thought you might have been swept away and drowned in the sea, but you managed to survive.”

Unlike Lucas who was seething, his red eyes held an air of indifference.

Even after being slapped, all he said was a rational assessment of the situation – that Lucas hadn’t died.

That’s right.

Lucas and Sedric are too different.

I wasn’t the only one who realized this, as Lucas let out a hollow laugh and clenched his fist tighter.

“…Brother. With a face that resembles our father, the best you can do is become a spy?”

“The same goes for you.”

“What?”

Sedric said coldly.

“You denied the reason you were born and were raised as a direct descendant of Croste.”

“…I am a Croste, you bastard.”

“No. You’re someone who was born according to the meticulous plan of the Pose Duke’s Family. According to the plan, your ice ability was supposed to contribute to the Doctia Kingdom for imperial unification…”

“I can’t get through to you, you tiger bastard!”

Another fist was thrown, but this time Sedric blocked Lucas’s attack with one hand.

His red eyes, which had been watching his opponent, flickered ominously for a moment.

“Aaah!”

When he drove his fist into Lucas’s abdomen, a pained scream echoed across the beachfront.

Good heavens.

I thought they would finish this like adults with conversation, but both of them are just beating each other up.

I had to stop them.

“Don’t fight! We’re stranded on an uninhabited island right now!”

And if they’re both ability users, why don’t they use their abilities elegantly instead of throwing punches!

“All three of us are stranded on an uninhabited island!”

I limped toward my brothers, but they weren’t listening.

“Did you just hit my solar plexus? I still considered you my brother and didn’t hit any vital spots…”

“I’ve been telling you since we were kids. You’re too soft on the people around you.”

“You don’t have any people around you to be soft to, bastard! Someone who abandoned even his family…”

“That means I’m doing well as a spy, so I’ll take it as a compliment.”

I squeezed my eyes shut at the ridiculous level of conversation.

Are these adult men who throw punches like protagonists of childish action comics that even elementary schoolers wouldn’t watch really my blood relatives?

Then I have no choice.

“I said stop fighting-!”

I have no choice but to use my ability.

The moment I spread both hands with a shout, the two people who had been brawling froze like stones.

For reference, ten years ago all I could do was make it snow.

But as a result of studying diligently since then, I became able to do other things too!

Like shooting snow toward a target location, or creating snowballs in mid-air.

Applying that… I can actually turn people into snowmen!

“Ugh, what is this!”

“…”

“Have you all finally come to your senses?”

I asked the two people who had been buried in snow and turned into snowmen.

The expressions of Lucas and Sedric, with only their faces poking out, were very dark.

“You only needed to trap that bastard, why did you trap me too, Dandelion!”

“…I heard you could only make it snow, but it seems you can use these tricks too.”

Sedric still hasn’t come to his senses.

I limped toward him.

“Who do you think is the person who can’t move because of that trick right now?”

“I’m not unable to move. If I just apply a little force, I can immediately break apart this snow pile…”

“By the way, among my tricks there’s also one called ‘live burial in a snowfield’ – would you like to experience it?”

“…”

“Or I could turn this place into the North? Would you like to experience your hometown after a long time?”

Only then did Sedric shut his mouth.

Looking at his calm and rational expression, it seems he realized my words weren’t a joke.

“First, both of you get your heads straight and listen to me.”

Whoosh-

I created small storm clouds above them so the snowmen wouldn’t melt, then continued speaking.

“This is the third time I’m saying this, but we’re stranded on an uninhabited island right now. And this is my guess, but this place isn’t an ordinary uninhabited island.”

“Then what is it?”

“I think it’s the Island of Death.”

“…!”

“What’s that?”

Unlike Lucas who seemed to know nothing, Sedric’s cold gaze wavered slightly.

As expected, Sedric from Doctia knows about it.

“Do you see those crimson flowers over there? Those are carnivorous flowers that only grow wild on the Island of Death.”

“The island is called the Island of Death because it has carnivorous flowers? Just freeze them and that’s it.”

“There are also strange rumors besides that. They say all living creatures on this island except for those carnivorous flowers end up dying.”

“…What?”

“It’s a story from a few years ago. Pirates who were drifting across the vast ocean temporarily anchored at an uninhabited island and searched it for food, but there they found giant beasts dying. They saw them collapsed and just gasping for breath, got terrified and ran away.”

“…Even if that’s true…”

“Even if the rumor is false, because of this rumor, no one wants to get close to the island.”

Lucas, who had been silent for a moment with a shocked expression as if hit on the back of the head, muttered.

“…Then that means there’s no possibility of us being rescued from here.”

“Lucas, that’s the first sensible thing you’ve said.”

Sedric agreed with Lucas’s words.

The two standing side by side looked exactly like twin snowmen.

“There’s no possibility of being rescued by someone on the Island of Death. Either escape directly, or starve to death. It’s one of the two.”

Then we had no choice but to escape.

The three of us silently looked at each other with suspicious eyes.

At least until we escaped, it was a ceasefire.

* * *

We wanted to escape immediately, but it quickly became dark night.

We had no choice but to decide on camping.

Bang bang bang-!

When I shot clusters of snowflakes at the coconut tree near the beachfront, the rattling coconut fruits dropped to the ground with a thud.

I was to get food, and Brother Lucas was to bring materials to make a simple tent.

Sedric was…

‘Where did he go alone?’

When my brother said “Don’t worry, Dandelion! I’ll build you a sturdy tent so you won’t catch a cold even in the sea breeze!” and confidently entered the forest.

Sedric looked at us with an unreadable expression, then disappeared into a different part of the forest.

Honestly, I thought something would happen to us, let alone escaping the island.

Not the childish fighting and bickering like before, but real spy activities like torture or killing.

‘Since he rammed into us with a carriage at the count’s estate, I thought he’d do the same on the island…’

I don’t know.

Since he’s also trapped on the island, he probably thought it was an unavoidable situation.

Anyway, my role is to gather as many coconuts as possible.

“Ugh-.”

I picked a large tropical leaf, put the coconuts in it, tied it up, and dragged it toward the beach.

The sea breeze was gradually getting cold.

Since I don’t know how to fish, I was diligently searching the sand bed for shells-

Step, step.

The sound of footsteps on sand came from not far away.

When I looked up to see who it was, Lucas was walking toward me.

“Aisha. You’ve gathered a lot of coconuts?”

With one arm carrying huge tree branches and palm leaves on his shoulder, he dumped the materials on the sand bed where the waves couldn’t reach.

“Did you happen to see Sedric?”

I suddenly wondered if they had secretly fought in the forest and asked.

Then-

“That bastard? He was walking too slowly, so I left him behind and came first.”

Left him behind?

I was puzzled by his cryptic words when-

“Slow walking indeed. What kind of tent could you make with those tiny twigs? They need to be at least this thick to be usable.”

Crash-

Sedric, who had arrived at some point, dumped much thicker tree branches than what Lucas had brought onto the ground.

What? He didn’t disappear alone but went to help Lucas…?

Looking at him, Lucas frowned.

“…What’s with the thickness of those logs… Are you planning to build a log cabin? To live here permanently?”

“What you brought looks like toothpicks, only good for starting fires.”

“It’s a temporary tent. Aisha and I will somehow escape from here within a few days. So this is enough.”

“Would your sister prefer a temporary tent? Or a log cabin?”

Right after that quiet question, both men’s gazes fixed on me.
