Chapter 107

Strangely enough, after meeting Kaiden, the fog began to gradually lift. As if the fog had finished doing what it was supposed to do.

“Are you hurt anywhere? Does anything hurt? You didn’t encounter any magical beasts, did you?”

At my questions, Kaiden finally lifted his head to look at me and smiled brightly.

“It’s nice that Margaret is worrying about me so passionately.”

He didn’t answer and said something else instead. I eventually stopped asking and examined his condition. Enoch, who had been standing with his arms crossed just watching, also asked Kaiden how he was doing.

“The fog was quite thick, so I was worried. Were you really okay, Lord?”

Kaiden finally turned to look at Enoch and scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed expression.

“Should we find somewhere to sit and talk?”

We found a place where we could have a conversation away from the gaze of magical beasts and sat down together. We planned to organize the situation first, then leave to find a safer place.

“First, Kaiden, you tell us. What happened? I met Enoch not long after the fog appeared. You were alone in this fog all day.”

At my words, Kaiden looked back and forth between me and Enoch with a bewildered expression.

“A day has passed? I didn’t even realize that much time had gone by.”

He ran his hands through his hair with a tired expression and squeezed his eyes shut.

After frowning as if retracing his memories for a moment, he finally calmly explained to us what had happened during the day.

“I kept following the cabin. But at some point, the cabin disappeared from my sight. However, that cabin gave off a very strange aura, so even though I couldn’t see it, I felt like I could roughly tell which direction it was in.”

He sensed the strange aura of the cabin.

It seemed similar to how Prince of Asdal could sense the flow of mana by intuition. Kaiden had excellent and sensitive instincts after all.

The strange aura he felt might have been Jenas’s aura.

“—So I kept trying to go in that direction, but the fog kept blocking my vision. Later, I even started seeing hallucinations. It was as if something was interfering to prevent me from finding the cabin.”

I recalled what Jenas had said while pushing me outside the cabin. He had definitely said something about unwelcome guests arriving and apologized while pushing me outside.

“It definitely felt like something was causing disruption to prevent me from coming, but when I came to my senses, I was in front of the cabin. I thought you would be in that cabin.”

The story continued. From the silver-haired woman he encountered in the Room of Rest to the silver-haired boy he met after being dragged outside the cabin.

I was so surprised that I lost my words.

The Room of Rest was definitely locked. But Kaiden said he opened that room door. And there was actually someone inside.

Kaiden let out a sigh.

“It didn’t feel like that much time had passed, but I’m surprised that a whole day has already gone by.”

He looked somewhat dazed. It was very unusual to see him react like this.

I looked at him quietly and opened my mouth.

“…Maybe it really was trying to prevent you from finding the cabin.”

Kaiden looked at me with a puzzled expression. Enoch, who had been quietly listening to the conversation with his arms crossed, also looked at me.

Since I had decided to tell them about Jenas when I reunited with Kaiden, now seemed like the right timing.

“I also spent a night in that cabin. With a Great Mage who’s over a thousand years old. That young boy you met seems to be the Great Mage who was with me.”

“A Great Mage who’s over a thousand years old? What are you talking about?”

Kaiden stared at me with wide eyes as if he couldn’t believe it. Right, I wouldn’t believe it either if I were him.

“You might not believe it, but it’s true. And he said his name was ‘Jenas Igran’.”

“Wait, what? Jenas Igran?!”

Kaiden was even more shocked than before and jumped up from his seat. When I leaned back in surprise, Enoch reached out and supported my back.

“What’s wrong, Lord?”

Enoch asked with a frown.

Kaiden covered his mouth and remained silent for a while with a thoughtful expression, then suddenly pulled something out of his pocket.

It was the pendant that had been passed down through generations of Magic Tower Masters. The very pendant that had struck my cheekbone when I first met him.

I looked at him with a puzzled expression.

“Why that?”

“The owner who made this pendant. A mage named Jenas Igran.”

“…Huh?”

“…And he’s our family’s ancestor. Jenas Igran Rohade. An Archmage and the first head of the Marquis Rohade family. Damn it, I thought he looked familiar from somewhere.”

“What?!”

At Kaiden’s series of shocking statements, I cried out in surprise like a scream.

Only then did I realize why Jenas had silver hair and red eyes. It must have been a hereditary trait of the Rohade family.

“Jenas is a mage who died a thousand years ago, so how is he here?”

This time Kaiden asked me back. I shrugged my shoulders.

“I don’t know that either. But according to what he told me, he said he’s lived on this island for a thousand years too. He can’t escape. Though I’m not sure if we can trust what Jenas said at face value.”

“He was trapped here? That genius mage?”

Kaiden questioned back.

I nodded and told them about what I had experienced at the cabin.

How someone had pulled me up from the river and I discovered Jenas then, how he brought me to the cabin and healed me, and the story of discovering the strange ‘door’ and ‘Room of Rest’ in Jenas’s cabin.

Now that I think about it, when I first met Jenas, he was holding a coconut. Even though he said he could live without eating meals.

Then, Kaiden, who had been lost in thought, said to me.

“But the Jenas you’re describing seems quite different from the Jenas in the stories I’ve heard about in my family.”

“What kind of person is the Jenas you know?”

“First of all, Jenas doesn’t look like a child. He’s a full-grown adult and I heard he was a pervert who enjoyed killing. There are even documents suggesting he might have been a demon because he severely lacked human emotions.”

“…”

Certainly, the Jenas that Kaiden described was very different from the Jenas I met.

“Isn’t it possible they’re different people who just share the same name?”

When Enoch asked Kaiden, Kaiden firmly shook his head.

“He’s from the Ingram Dynasty era, and you said he’s a mage who even changed his body’s balance so he could survive without consuming food. In that era, Jenas was the only mage who could implement such high-dimensional magic.”

Kaiden drew a very firm line. Enoch raised another question in a calm voice.

“Then did that mage create the fog around the cabin? But you can’t use mana on this island, can you?”

At Enoch’s words, I carefully pondered what Jenas had told me.

“Maybe he can change his body? If Kaiden is right, he originally has an adult body, and when he’s in his adult form, he might be able to use mana. He told me ‘in this body, my mana is being controlled.'”

“Then why is he deliberately in a child’s form now? Is it to protect his body? But if he can’t use mana in that state, how did he create things like the fog?”

Kaiden muttered with an incomprehensible expression and fell into thought. I asked him again.

“Kaiden, why was the door to the Room of Rest that you said you entered open? I couldn’t enter because the door was locked. And it clearly said ‘Seal’ on the door.”

“I don’t know why the door opened, but that place does seem to be sealed. That woman was tied up on top of a magic circle.”

“Is that also the work of that mage Jenas?”

At Enoch’s question, Kaiden rubbed his temples hard and narrowed his brow as if searching his thoughts.

“I’m not sure about that. That woman told me to run away. At that moment I was thrown outside the cabin. Right after that I met the short-haired kid. From what Margaret said, that kid must have been Jenas.”

Run away.

From what? From whom am I supposed to run away?

“Oh, come to think of it, you said Jenas had an older sister. You said her name was Anata…”

“Anata? Anata Shanet Rohade was there too?”

Kaiden asked me back in surprise.

“Jenas talked about her as if she was definitely dead. But if the woman you saw in the Room of Rest had silver hair and red eyes, she might really be Anata. It matches the physical characteristics of the Rohade Family.”

Why was Anata sealed in that place? Why did Jenas hide that fact? Could it be that Jenas was the one who sealed Anata?

There were far too many unanswered questions.

“Margaret.”

At Enoch’s call, I, who had been lost in thought, raised my head and looked at him.

“You said there was something called the ‘Room of Rest’ there. And that it also had ‘seal’ written on it.”

I nodded my head in affirmation.

Enoch stroked his chin and furrowed his brow as if recalling something. Soon he opened his mouth in a low voice.

“…It was a custom that existed in the Ingram Dynasty, where they would create a Room of Rest and seal people alive, believing that their souls would become guardian spirits.”

Even amid this shocking revelation, Enoch appeared cold and solid, as if he wasn’t particularly shaken.

He continued speaking calmly.

“Perhaps the source of the fog that surrounded the cabin wasn’t Jenas’s mana, but the mana of the sealed soul.”
