【Chapter 155】

“Aisha. Do you want to live here for the rest of your life? A temporary tent would be better, right?”

Lucas’s fiery gaze.

“What kind of tent can you make with leaves? It’ll all blow away in the night wind.”

And Sedric’s calm and composed gaze.

Both gazes were piercing through me like lasers.

Good heavens.

Getting hit by a carriage and being stranded on an uninhabited island was already hard enough to bear.

And now another trial like this befalls me.

My mind went blank for a moment, but I remembered there was a more important issue at hand.

I picked up one of the coconuts that had been wrapped in leaves.

I narrowed my eyes and glared at Sedric, who looked relaxed.

“Why are you asking me that? Are you saying you’re going to live with us too?”

I don’t know why you’re suddenly acting like this, but if you try anything funny, I’ll smack you with this coconut…!

To my wary words, he answered like a sigh, as if asking what was so obvious.

“I don’t know about outside the island, but right now we have the same goal. I intend to do my best to achieve that common goal.”

“Even though you’re the one who kidnapped us and brought us here?”

“I apologize for that.”

I listened blankly to his words flowing out so smoothly and thought.

Does this guy have no pride at all?

‘A spy apologizing to his targets…’

His completely unexpected personality left me a bit flustered.

No. But I can’t trust him easily.

I crossed my arms and raised my eyebrows.

“Then apologize for ramming me with the carriage. I won’t accept it unless you kneel and apologize.”

Thud.

“I apologize for ramming you with the carriage.”

He knelt down without any hesitation and looked up at me.

No way. Does he really have no pride?

My shoulders flinched as I met his gaze…

In his red eyes reflecting the moonlight, there wasn’t a trace of shame or displeasure.

They were just empty.

Like a well-made robot that would stop at nothing to achieve its goal.

This is…

‘…He really is a spy, isn’t he?’

I unconsciously swallowed dry saliva at the strange tension.

I’ve seen quite a few of this type at the Pose Duchy.

If you’re born as a ‘spy,’ you must somehow complete the mission given to you.

A perfect example of someone who absorbed the Pose Duchy’s brainwashing education well.

“What, what’s this.”

Lucas seemed just as flustered.

Lucas stepped back a few paces from his brother who had suddenly knelt and looked at me.

“Why is he acting like this? He wasn’t originally this kind of personality, was he?”

I could feel the complex emotions in his confused question.

I pondered for a moment.

Whether his behavior stemmed from spy-like thinking or whatever.

For now, it would be better to have someone who could help rather than fighting among ourselves.

For now… let’s accept it.

“…Fine, I’ll accept it. What about you, Brother Lucas? Are you okay with it?”

When I asked carefully, Lucas, who had been rubbing his face, slowly nodded.

“…He even knelt down, so what choice do I have. Hey, it’s uncomfortable, so get up quickly.”

At his scolding, Sedric stood up with an expression that was neither pleased nor displeased.

“Then since it seems decided, let’s make a place to camp tonight.”

And as if nothing had happened, he began moving tree branches to build a temporary shelter.

We stared at him blankly.

‘He’s a robot, a robot.’

I accepted his apology for now since there were urgent matters to attend to… but he’s still suspicious.

I glared at Sedric’s back as he worked silently with narrowed eyes.

What on earth did the Pose Duchy create?

* * *

Fortunately, the robot Sedric created by the Pose Duchy was able to easily blend in with the two siblings.

Getting the consent of both siblings with just one kneel was quite a good deal.

With this pretext, he could comfortably monitor the ability users of the Croste Household.

Beep-.

As soon as dawn broke, he got up and took out the location tracker stone from his pants pocket.

Though faint, a red light was detected and the tracker stone was responding.

It meant that the Doctia faction had located Sedric’s position.

‘I just need to pretend to get along with those guys while monitoring them until the rescue team arrives.’

Though things had gone quite differently from the original plan, it didn’t matter.

Regardless of the process, he just needed to accomplish the mission.

After hiding the tracker stone in his pants pocket, he left the temporary shelter and saw Lucas’s tent not far away.

He had thought the three of them would sleep together for efficiency.

‘Sleep with Sedric? I’m against it-!’

The princess had objected.

She had shouted so loudly that Lucas and Sedric ended up having to make two temporary shelters late into the night.

“Get up. It’s morning.”

When he pushed aside the tent made of leaves, the two people sleeping on the hard sand were revealed.

Lucas was snoring, probably tired.

Next to him, Aisha was sleeping curled up with her back against his.

Though Aisha had been so startled the day before, and it might be awkward to see a grown adult woman sleeping.

Sedric didn’t think much of it.

It might be because he didn’t really see her as a woman, but it seemed more like a different reason.

Maybe it was because she was his blood relative.

‘Ah.’

He squeezed his eyes shut to erase the thought that had unconsciously emerged.

‘Blood relative, what nonsense.’

To be honest, he had almost let his guard down a little yesterday.

It was Lucas whom he hadn’t seen for over 10 years.

But seeing his rough and honest demeanor unchanged from childhood, he had momentarily felt like he’d returned to the past.

His younger brother who was full of curiosity.

Back to those days when he would stay up all night trying to persuade him as he worried between Callipus and Ariena.

“…Blood ties are scary indeed-“

He was about to say “I suppose,” when he suddenly stopped.

It was because he had encountered something glaring at him from the darkness.

“….”

At first he thought it was a young beast.

But looking again, it was Aisha, curled up in a ball.

She had been sleeping just moments ago, so when did she open her eyes?

Her particularly bright red eyes were eerie like warning lights.

Then.

“I know what you did last night.”

“Last night?”

Nod-

Making eye contact was already flustering enough, but what was she even talking about now?

Sedric frowned for a moment and placed one hand on his waist.

“Last night I only remember making a temporary shelter and falling asleep immediately.”

Shake shake-

“…?”

Really, all I did was sleep?

‘…What exactly did I do? But what?’

I consciously didn’t do anything that would make those guys suspicious of me.

Just in case, my mind raced quickly, and I was anxiously chewing the inside of my mouth when.

“Just kidding~”

Aisha suddenly stood up from her spot and grinned mischievously.

“I was just saying that, so why are you so flustered? Don’t tell me you actually felt guilty?”

“…?”

For a moment, it felt like time had stopped.

He always maintained his composure outwardly, even in the most bewildering situations.

But at that absurd provocation, he realized he had been momentarily stunned.

‘Damn it.’

Sedric quickly rubbed his face with dry hands.

“…That joke went too far. After yesterday’s events, I thought we had become comrades, at least on this island?”

“How nice, talking about comrades. When you’ll stab us in the back and kidnap us the moment things go wrong.”

That’s true though.

“Right?”

“No.”

“Liar.”

“If you won’t believe me anyway, why ask?”

“If you’re going to lie anyway, why answer?”

At her sharp retort without hesitation, Sedric closed his mouth.

Suddenly, he had this thought.

If he had to compare, Aisha seemed more similar to him than Lucas.

Those red eyes too.

He unconsciously made a tsk sound.

‘…How troublesome.’

“Anyway, watch your behavior. I’ll be keeping an eye on you. Brother Lucas, wake up!”

“Mmm… yeah.”

Their tense private conversation ended as Lucas woke up.

“What? You were both awake? Am I the only one who overslept?!”

Suddenly the surroundings became noisy, and the frightening gaze that had been glaring at him was withdrawn.

“….”

Only then did Sedric realize he had been holding his breath.

It felt like he had barely escaped after holding his breath underwater for a long time.

What kind of intimidating presence did such a small girl have?

Anyway, it was fortunate.

‘If I’m with Lucas, that brat will glare at me a little less.’

Or so he thought.

“Instead of staying here, how about we create an ice path on the sea and escape? If you and I use our abilities together, I think we could do it.”

“Do you know where the nearest continent is? We don’t even know the direction right now, so what kind of nonsense…”

Glare-

“…Let’s give it a try.”

No matter what topic they discussed, whenever Sedric said anything, that beast-like gaze would invariably turn toward him.

It felt like holes would be drilled into his back.

When he turned to look at Aisha just in case.

“Brother, the ice path will be sturdy, right?”

Aisha was smiling as if nothing had happened, chatting with Lucas.

She was not an easy child to deal with.

At first, he thought Lucas, who would charge at him whenever he saw him, was the most tiresome.

But her, quietly hovering nearby and watching him, was something he couldn’t even address, and it just made his spine tingle.

Right. Let’s finish this quickly.

If he just pretended to obey well, she might get tired on her own and look away.

Crack-!

As he obediently created the ice path like that, Aisha, who had been watching him, finally nodded with a satisfied expression.

“Let me try going up… Kyaah!”

But her satisfaction didn’t last long.

The moment she stepped onto the ice path, she slipped and fell with a crash.

“….”

Aisha, who had been lying face down for a moment, turned her head and glared at Sedric with the most wronged expression in the world.

Glare-

“….”

Why, what. Again, why.

‘This time it’s not my mistake… is it.’

Even while thinking that, he found himself stepping back at her fierce momentum.
