【Chapter 156】

I thought abilities were omnipotent.

Ability holders who are the strongest in this world’s setting.

Even if they fell on an island or fell into hell, they were said to be capable of surviving somehow—

‘As expected, humans are infinitely weak beings before Mother Nature.’

Having fallen with a thud on the ice path, I lay face down for a while out of embarrassment.

Then Lucas, who seemed to have completely lost his mind, came running toward me.

“That’s why you need to be careful, what are you doing rushing out recklessly like usual?”

Despite his rough scolding, he lifted me up in a princess carry.

Then a deflated laugh burst out from across the way.

It was Sedric.

“Anyone watching would think you fell into the sea.”

“It’s as serious as falling into the sea. Can’t you see the kid’s ankle is swollen right now? She’s about to die from pain.”

My ankle is actually more fine than you think.

The moment I awkwardly shook my ankle floating in the air…

“….”

This, this. Should I at least pretend it hurts?

Having that thought, I realized that absolutely wouldn’t do.

Though it looked fine on the outside, the inside was completely battered.

Well. The fall in the first place was because of the leg injured in the carriage accident.

But since I also twisted my ankle on the ice path, it seemed like at least the ligaments would be stretched.

‘If Lucas finds out about my condition, he’ll probably…’

“Ouch!”

It was when I was resolving to keep it absolutely secret with that thought.

The moment he took a step, sudden pain arose and I screamed without realizing it.

My brother, who wouldn’t miss that sight, made a fuss.

“Dandelion, does it hurt? Choose how much it hurts from 1 to 10.”

“This much is at most only about a 3…”

“As much as a 3? The pain is as much as a 3? Not 0?”

Good heavens. I said it’s only a 3.

“Where and how does it hurt? If walking is difficult, I’ll keep carrying you until we escape.”

With his machine-gun-like voice, even my ears were starting to hurt now.

“I’m just startled. And brother. If you make such a fuss over me falling, I’ll look too weak.”

“You are weak, you.”

“What? I’m someone who even received Croste knight training.”

“So are you stronger than me?”

Petty brother.

I cursed Lucas with my eyes.

Regardless, my brother raised one eyebrow.

“So are you stronger than Sedric?”

“I’m probably stronger than Bibi Grandmother?”

“You just stay in my arms until we escape.”

“Ahhh, brother—!”

“And let’s give up on going by the ice path.”

What? Give up?

I, who had been struggling in Lucas’s arms, opened my eyes wide.

In the current situation, using abilities was the easiest way to escape.

No, it might be the only way.

“Then how will we escape? Are you going to make a raft or something?”

He nodded seriously.

“Yeah. It’s better to make a raft and go that way. I can’t watch you walk on the ice path with my eyes open.”

“Then how about walking with your eyes closed?”

“Aisha.”

It was then that I met Lucas’s blue eyes.

The joke won’t work.

It’s not common for my brother to look at me with such a scary face.

‘He’s serious.’

But making a raft wasn’t an efficient method.

First of all, making it itself would be difficult, and if we went to sea on it?

If we met big waves in the middle or a storm came, it could capsize immediately.

The ice path could offset all those obstacles, so this method seemed like the best…

“Just because of an ankle?”

It was then that a dry question was heard.

Sedric, who had only been watching our conversation, sighed.

“Because of your stupid judgment, you seem to be missing what’s important, but what’s urgent now is escape. Even if we sacrifice the princess’s ankle, it’s better to cross the ice path.”

That tone was annoying enough to make me want to glare at him with charismatic eyes again.

But… fortunately, his conclusion seemed to be the same as mine.

The problem was that Sedric’s tone was more obnoxious than I had accepted.

“…When you have a goal, you don’t care about means and methods to achieve it, so I guess it doesn’t matter if someone’s body breaks down.”

As they say, if incoming words are kind, outgoing words should be kind too.

Mr. Sedric, because you spoke so obnoxiously, our brother got angry….

Cold sweat began to trickle down from the top of my head because of the brothers’ fight that seemed about to start again.

Of course, I was the only one reading the mood here.

Invisible sparks seemed to fly between the two brothers who would never back down.

Good heavens. I’m going to get electrocuted.

“You might not be able to escape the island just worrying about an ankle. Of course, whether you can’t escape the island is none of my business.”

“Then escape the island by yourself. More important than escape is my family’s safety. As long as I’m alive, I absolutely can’t watch Aisha get seriously hurt.”

“Safety.”

Sedric, who repeated the word as if it wasn’t funny, shook his head with a pathetic expression.

“I suppose you’re planning to die here because of one insignificant belief.”

“I’m alive because of that belief.”

However, at Lucas’s following answer, Sedric suddenly froze like someone who had been hit in the back of the head.

“….”

“Aisha, you sit here without moving. I’ll just get raft materials and come right back.”

He, who I thought would immediately counterattack, was unexpectedly quiet.

In that gap, Lucas walked to the temporary shelter, carefully set me down, and disappeared toward the forest.

Why is he acting like that.

I glanced at Sedric who was frozen like a stone.

“Hey, aren’t you going to follow Lucas?”

“….”

“Sedric!”

I glared at him with the charismatic eyes that had dominated him all day today, but he was truly motionless like he had become stone.

He just looked at the forest Lucas had entered, opening his red eyes wide then narrowing them again.

After such a brief silence passed.

Sedric, who had organized his expression while sweeping his bangs upward, finally opened his mouth.

“Aisha.”

What’s this about. He’s not calling me princess.

“What?”

“Are beliefs originally important to Croste family people?”

A sudden philosophical question in this situation?

“Hmm….”

I let out a groan.

Honestly, I had never thought about it.

Unlike my brother who takes pride in our family, I only thought about ways for my brother, father, and I to live happily together.

“I’m not sure, but since coming to the Croste Ducal Family, I’ve found many more reasons to live.”

At my answer, those red eyes narrowed again.

Oh, what’s this.

Could it be that he was moved by my words?

Is he coming over to our side like this?

I don’t know what it is, but I, Aisha.

When a fish takes the bait, I always reel it in.

I grinned and rubbed my hands together.

“Sedric. Our Croste Family is always open!”

“….”

“If you make a pledge to give up being a spy and accept just a little binding magic from His Majesty the King of Frozen to prevent betrayal…”

“Then I’d have one more reason to die. Forget it. It was my mistake for asking.”

Sedric let out a listless sigh and suddenly started walking somewhere.

Hey, you asked so I answered.

I answered with all sincerity, but you’re just going to blow me off like that…?

“Where are you going?”

“….”

“Won’t you make an ice path with me?”

“You can’t make ice.”

“That’s why I’m telling you to make it!”

“….”

“If we keep going like this, there won’t even be coconut water, you know?”

Despite my terrifying threat, Sedric disappeared toward the forest without answering.

Good grief.

In the end, I was left alone again.

* * *

Thunk thunk thunk-…

Eventually, I was pouting with my lips stuck out, throwing snowballs to hit coconuts.

“Right. What can an injured person do? I should just pick coconuts.”

Thunk thunk thunk thunk-…

To be honest, Lucas was right.

The pain in my ankle got worse as time passed, and it was uncomfortable enough that limping while walking was difficult.

‘But if I just rest without doing anything, would this be an uninhabited island? It’d be a resort.’

I decided not to forget that this place was an uninhabited island.

“Should I look around to see if there are other fruits?”

Since I seemed to have picked enough coconuts to eat our fill, I entered deeper into the forest with my limping leg.

Vines hanging on tree branches.

Moss covering trees soaked with moisture and soil darkened from being wet.

Giant leaves tangled and intertwined so densely that sunlight couldn’t penetrate.

As is typical of tropical regions, suffocating humidity and sticky heat clung to my entire body.

“Oh, how cute. Hello?”

While examining the trees like that, I discovered a small chameleon.

Plop-

The chameleon that had been barely hanging onto a tree branch fell to the ground.

“…What, what’s wrong.”

Startled, I knelt down to examine the chameleon, but it was already dead.

“….”

I had forgotten because I was distracted by Lucas and Sedric’s fight, but it suddenly came back to me.

…This wasn’t just an uninhabited island, but the Island of Death.

“Who’s there?”

That’s when it happened.

I was quietly crouching down, mourning the chameleon’s death, when an unfamiliar voice rang out from behind me.
