Chapter 103

 

“This is real, right?”

 

Somehow I felt like my solar plexus was completely blocked, as if I had indigestion.

 

Only then did Enoch slowly pull me away from his embrace. His face came into view. Calm and gentle golden eyes examined my face.

 

He slowly lowered his hand and took mine. His large, warm hand gently wrapped around my bare skin. Looking at me with an unwavering face like an old tree, he said to me.

 

“Whether it’s real or not doesn’t matter. I have no intention of letting go of this hand.”

 

I quietly looked down at our clasped hands. I knew it, but now Enoch is no longer a character in printed text.

 

Suddenly, I truly wanted to become Margaret.

 

I also thought it would be nice to hold the hand of this solid and upright man like a tree, who reaches only toward me without ever bending.

 

I raised my head again and met Enoch’s quiet gaze. He gently caressed my cheek with his other hand.

 

Feeling something brushing against my feet, I looked down to see Eun-ji struggling to climb up onto my knees, making a fuss as if asking me to look at her.

 

I smiled and released my hand from Enoch’s, lifting Eun-ji’s body with both hands. Then, watching Eun-ji flicking her tongue with a pleased expression, I asked Enoch.

 

“What about the others?”

 

“I don’t know about the others. Lord and I jumped straight into the river following you, Margaret.”

 

“Ah, you jumped into the river… What?!”

 

I covered my mouth with both hands. I was speechless for a moment, just opening and closing my mouth before finally asking back almost shouting.

 

“Are you in your right mind?”

 

At my question, Enoch burst into dry laughter. It was laughter close to a self-deprecating smile.

 

“If I were in my right mind, would I have done such a thing?”

 

He admitted it so firmly that I was once again left speechless. Enoch pointed to Eun-ji with an unperturbed face as if it was nothing and said.

 

“This little one seemed to be guiding us to where you were. So Lord and I were following behind…”

 

Then he answered with a troubled expression while looking around.

 

“I’m sure I saw a cabin, but suddenly thick fog rolled into the forest. After that, I lost Lord.”

 

“Ah, the cabin!”

 

I was startled and scanned the surroundings. The place where Enoch and I were was deep in the forest where the fog had lifted, but the cabin was nowhere to be seen.

 

“It’s a strange phenomenon. The cabin was definitely quite large. It was at a close distance, yet it disappeared without a trace like this.”

 

Enoch muttered while scanning the surroundings following me.

 

“We should hurry and find Kaiden too.”

 

I was responding to his words when it happened.

 

Hiss-

 

Eun-ji, who was wrapped around my arm, spun around demanding attention. Enoch looked at Eun-ji and burst into laughter.

 

“Since this little one told us your location, we should give her some praise.”

 

Eun-ji stretched out her head and looked up at me, gently closing her eyes. Does she want me to pet her?

 

I looked at her with a bewildered expression, then carefully stroked her bald head.

 

Then the little one wrapped around my arm seemed pleased and stuck out her tongue, gently wagging the tip of her tail.

 

Enoch stared at me, then briefly furrowed his brow and took off the jacket he was wearing. Then he wrapped it around my shoulders and asked.

 

“It looks like you’re bleeding. Are you okay?”

 

At his words, I looked down at my stomach where the gauze was attached. Fortunately, only a little blood had seeped through, so it didn’t look too serious.

 

“This much is fine.”

 

“Still, it would be better to get treatment.”

 

“Let’s move to a safe place first. Enoch’s wounds are more serious than mine.”

 

I frowned as I looked at his torn jacket and the wounds scattered across his body. It looked like it would hurt terribly, but Enoch nodded with a calm face as if nothing was wrong.

 

“I’m fine with this much too. As you said, it would be better to move to a safe place first.”

 

Enoch said this and looked over my outfit with calm eyes.

 

“And I’ve been wanting to ask since earlier, these clothes.”

 

Enoch pointed to the pants and t-shirt I was wearing. Then he looked at my stomach again and quietly turned his head away.

 

The t-shirt was form-fitting and short, so it would probably look somewhat immodest and strange to the Empire’s people.

 

Since Enoch seemed embarrassed, I felt embarrassed too for some reason and laughed awkwardly.

 

“The clothes are quite unique.”

 

At Enoch’s words, I got excited for some reason and lifted one leg to show him.

 

“These pants are really comfortable. I finally feel like I can live.”

 

Enoch’s calm eyes, neatly composed, held a warm and gentle color.

 

The Crown Prince Enoch in Margaret’s memories was a man who was gentlemanly but always somehow bored and languid, emotionless and inhuman.

 

It’s unfair when you look at me like that with those seductive eyes marked with that pitiful beauty mark. The trust contained in that gaze looking at me somehow tickled me, so I quietly lowered my raised leg.

 

“If you’re comfortable, that’s all that matters.”

 

He arranged my hair with a composed expression.

 

“A mage took me in. There was another survivor. This person gave me these clothes.”

 

I was too out of it at the time to ask, but I belatedly realized that it was Jenas who saved me from falling into the river.

 

‘That fog was probably Jenas’s doing. Is it magic? But you can’t use mana on this island…’

 

Wait.

 

“With this body, my mana is also being controlled, so how was that person able to use it?”

 

Jenas had definitely said something like that. I only now noticed that those words were a bit strange.

 

‘With this body’? Does that mean he has a separate original body? And with his original body, he can use mana?

 

“What do you mean by another survivor?”

 

Enoch’s voice followed, so I came to my senses and looked up at him.

 

“Ah, someone was living in that cabin. He saved me. He did save me, but…”

 

In the end, he left me to almost die by a magical beast.

 

“This seems like it’ll be a long story, so how about we find Kaiden first before the sun sets? When the sun goes down, the magical beasts…”

 

Before I could even finish speaking, I noticed Enoch’s tired face. He was rubbing his temples and frowning irritably.

 

“The magical beasts have evolved again.”

 

“What?”

 

“I’ve been fighting the Lord and magical beasts since yesterday afternoon. Now we can’t feel safe even during the day. And they’re no longer in beast form, but have become unrecognizable monstrous creatures.”

 

Magical beasts appearing even during the day. My mind feels blank. The conversation I had with Jenas became reality this quickly.

 

“First, as you said, finding the Lord is urgent.”

 

Enoch stood up and extended his hand to me. I tried to take off the jacket draped over my shoulders to return it to him, but he made a somewhat displeased face.

 

“Will you be alright. Those clothes…”

 

Enoch slowly placed the jacket I had taken off back over my shoulders as his words trailed off.

 

And after his hand seemed to accidentally brush against my t-shirt, he turned his head away in surprise. He gritted his teeth and lowered his head, then gripped my jacket tightly.

 

“I think it would be better if you kept your clothes on.”

 

Since he seemed so embarrassed, I had no choice but to put his jacket on. His jacket was also tattered, but it was still better to wear it, I suppose.

 

When I obediently put on the jacket, he finally looked at me with a relieved expression.

 

Enoch, with his anxiety about rampage completely gone, looked flawlessly perfect without a single flaw.

 

His sculpted eyebrows and sharp nose bridge, his enchantingly deep and rich golden eyes, red lips and firm jaw. All of these features were harmoniously and perfectly carved on his face.

 

Being handsome might be useless for survival, but it seemed to bring peace of mind to those around him.

 

I felt my heart, which had been confused by Jenas and the fog he created just moments ago, gradually calming down.

 

Once I had stabilized, my head somehow felt much lighter. Enoch, who had been quietly watching me, spoke.

 

“Now, let’s go look for Lord.”

 

I obediently nodded at his words.

 

“Yes, let’s go.”

 

First I needed to find Kaiden, then tell him more details about Jenas.

 

And I also had to figure out where the cabin had suddenly disappeared to.

Luzef was struggling to move while carrying Kaiden’s seriously heavy backpack.

 

“Don’t you have any intention of helping?”

 

Luzef asked as he looked back at Diego, but Diego declined with a very composed expression.

 

“As I said before, it would be better to discard what should be discarded.”

 

At Diego’s cold words, Luzef bit his lower lip hard.

 

“Would you say such things so easily if this were your luggage?”

 

“If it were my luggage, I would rather say you did well to abandon it. It’s a wiser choice than getting into danger while carrying burdensome baggage.”

 

Every word was so reasonable that there was nothing to say in response. I have no idea how Kaiden managed to carry this heavy thing around.

 

But he couldn’t abandon the bag. Although Kaiden had been carrying it, the contents of the bag were all things that Margaret needed.

 

When Luzef stubbornly refused to abandon the bag and continued walking while struggling, Diego finally sighed and took the bag away from him.
