Chapter 106

Priests wearing robes with the Papal Court’s emblem embroidered on them, their hoods pulled up, are surrounding Kaiden.

They are holding open old books and constantly muttering something.

Then.

The basement door opens and someone enters. In young Kaiden’s field of vision, he catches a glimpse of an elderly priest who appears to be quite advanced in age.

Judging by his clothing being the most ornate among them, he thinks this might be an archbishop or perhaps the Pope.

‘How is it? Do you think he’ll be compatible with Lord Jenas?’

One of the priests surrounding young Kaiden responds to the old man’s words.

‘Yes. His mana seems to be on par with Lord Jenas, so the compatibility should be excellent.’

‘Hmm. We’ve reached an agreement with the Rohade Family. Once he’s connected with Lord Jenas, they’ll develop some flexibility too.’

‘If he continues to grow like this, he should become perfect. It would be good to include him on the final test subject list.’

‘Yes, put your heart into creating that list. Given the scope of this plan, this will be the final experiment. Write up a report and submit it.’

The old man pats the shoulder of the priest who answered with a satisfied expression. He glances down at young Kaiden.

The old man’s blue eyes meet Kaiden’s red eyes.

The moment their gazes met, Kaiden instantly snapped out of the memory.

Huff.

His chest felt tight and he couldn’t breathe properly. While he was gasping for breath, the woman who had been sitting on the magic circle slowly raised her head.

Even while breathing painfully, Kaiden’s gaze met the woman’s red eyes and he frowned. That woman’s face wasn’t unfamiliar.

‘Who is she?’

At that moment, the woman opened her mouth.

Run.

A.

Way.

At the same time, the door behind him burst wide open. Kaiden, grabbed by the back of his neck by some unknown force, was dragged out the door.

Instantly dragged out to the third floor corridor, he was thrown straight out the corridor window. His powerless body fell relentlessly from the third floor height.

“Damn it!”

Just before hitting the ground, someone yanked him aside. Due to this, Kaiden rolled across the floor as his body twisted.

“Shit.”

Cough, cough.

He staggered to his feet amidst the swirling dust, and someone was standing in front of him.

It was a boy with short hair that swayed around his neck.

Silver hair and red eyes, an appearance that also wasn’t unfamiliar.

The boy looked down at Kaiden with an expressionless face and opened his mouth.

“I was curious, and I finally got to meet you.”

Though he was clearly a boy, his face bore the wisdom of someone who had lived through countless years. The boy who had been staring intently at Kaiden clasped his hands behind his back and slowly approached him.

“But it’s not time yet.”

Then he placed his finger on Kaiden’s forehead.

“Now, go.”

The boy pushed Kaiden’s forehead away with his finger. Kaiden was once again enveloped in thick fog. With that, the boy disappeared along with the cabin.

After Margaret, Enoch, and Kaiden disappeared one by one, Yuanna had fallen into complete delirium.

She collapsed where she stood, sobbing uncontrollably and unable to regain her composure.

“Everyone, if they die… if they die again…!”

Then she began rambling incomprehensibly before taking out a key, clutching it in her hand, and wailing.

She was clearly not in her right mind.

Yuanna remained in that state until sunset, only managing to calm down when night fell.

However, from that point on, she had completely changed. As if she had recovered lost memories and awakened to something profound.

‘She’s definitely strange.’

Prince of Asdal observed her carefully.

In fact, the reason Prince of Asdal had been treating her favorably all this time wasn’t solely due to the same extraordinary guilt that Diego felt.

‘She seems to have some kind of secret, but I still can’t figure out what it is.’

Looking at her now, it didn’t seem like it was simply because his intuition was sharp.

Just then, a rumbling sound came from his stomach. He was terribly hungry.

“I really miss Lady Flone.”

Prince of Asdal sighed with a haggard expression. Yuanna, who had been sitting quietly beside him, nodded in agreement.

“Indeed, I miss Young Lady very much too.”

Yuanna, who had been spacing out for a long time with a completely different atmosphere, finally responded to Prince of Asdal’s words as she normally would.

“Are you alright?”

At his question, she looked at him with a puzzled expression.

“I didn’t know the Saint liked them so much.”

“Even if someone you dislike fell into the river, anyone would normally be shocked in this situation.”

“That’s true.”

Agreeing with her words and having nothing more to say, Prince of Asdal closed his mouth.

He wanted to ask her something, but he had no idea what to ask first. So in the end, he couldn’t bring up anything at all.

“Do you think the three of them are alive?”

“They will be.”

“You sound confident.”

“I won’t believe they’re dead until I see it with my own eyes.”

At Prince of Asdal’s answer, Yuanna’s eyes widened with an enlightened expression. Regardless of her reaction, Prince of Asdal gestured toward her.

“First, let’s look at the map again. We should check which direction we need to go.”

Yuanna looked extremely tired, but when Prince of Asdal sternly wiggled his finger, she reluctantly took the map out of her pocket and handed it to him with an annoyed expression.

Asdal spread the map on the floor. They had to find the only path that would allow them to cross over to the North Island.

‘It would be best to go straight east along the riverside.’

It was while he was making such plans.

“I’m hungry, Your Highness. Could you catch some birds for us?”

“…It’s about time the saint started earning her keep.”

“If you could make it so we can eat bird meat for dinner tonight, I’ll try to earn my keep starting tomorrow.”

Yuanna replied with her usual innocent face as if she had never cried, smiling. Of course, that smile didn’t work on Asdal.

“Stop playing around and get up. Let’s go gather some fruits together. Neither of us can butcher animals anyway.”

Only then did Yuanna get up from her spot with a convinced expression. She grumbled while glancing toward the riverside.

“I wish we could at least catch some fish.”

At Yuanna’s muttering, Asdal finally regretted bitterly ignoring Margaret’s advice to learn the fishing method.

‘I should have learned it back then.’

It was a very belated regret.

But even that was only a minor remorse he could afford since they were still on the South Island, before encountering evolved magical beasts.

Asdal would later realize, only after reaching the North Island and encountering new magical beasts, that this wasn’t the time to regret not learning the fishing method.

I stood in front of the Central River (I decided to call the river in the center of the island this) and surveyed the terrain. It was to figure out roughly where we were.

“It seems like we haven’t gotten away from the vicinity yet? This looks like it’s near where I woke up.”

At my words, Enoch, who was standing guard while watching the surroundings, glanced down at me.

“Can you find the cabin? It would be good to focus our search around that area.”

“Hmm… I kept going north with my back to the riverside, you know?”

“Then let’s try going in that direction first. Since there aren’t any high mountains, we probably won’t get lost or anything.”

I nodded and decided to go back with him toward the direction where Jenas’s cabin would likely be.

And in the forest we entered, we once again encountered thick fog.

“Enoch.”

I called out to Enoch, who was walking ahead with an anxious face. He looked back at me with a puzzled expression.

“It would be better if we walked holding hands. Just like with Kaiden, we can’t get separated either.”

I extended my hand toward him. Enoch, who had been staring down at me, slowly took my hand.

We had simply held hands, but somehow a sense of relief washed over me through the touching warmth. And it felt very reassuring.

“Thank you.”

Enoch didn’t answer my words and just looked at me for a moment before giving a quiet smile.

Just as we were about to enter the fog together again, I heard a familiar voice.

“Margaret?”

“Kaiden?!”

I looked around in surprise.

When I thought I glimpsed silver hair through the fog, I came to my senses and found myself in someone’s arms.

“Margaret.”

It was Kaiden’s voice.

Naturally, my hand that was holding Enoch’s let go, and contrary to my expectation that he would be angry, Enoch unexpectedly stepped back silently without a word. It seemed he was being considerate of Kaiden and me in his own way.

“Kaiden.”

I gently patted Kaiden’s back. His body was trembling. This too was an uncharacteristic reaction from him.

“You’re safe. Thank goodness. Thank goodness…”

He kept muttering the same words over and over while holding me so tightly it was suffocating.

“I really thought I was going to lose my mind, thinking something had happened to you…”

Kaiden seemed unable to shake off his anxiety and unease as he embraced me again and pressed his cheek against the nape of my neck.

“Are you okay? Where were you?”

After burying his face in my shoulder and breathing in silence for a long while, Kaiden lifted his head and looked at me with moist eyes.

“Ever since Your Highness disappeared, I was inside the fog the whole time.”

He pulled me into his arms again.

“I missed you, Margaret.”

Somehow Kaiden’s voice seemed to be tinged with moisture, so I quietly patted him until he calmed down.
