Chapter 108
Using the mana of a sealed soul.
“If that’s the case, isn’t it too creepy? Wouldn’t that be Anata’s mana?”
Kaiden clicked his tongue and muttered with an incredulous expression.
If the Ingram Dynasty had such customs, then Enoch’s words might really be correct. It would also explain the disorienting fog that formed around the cabin.
“Sealing Anata, it might have been Jenas’s doing.”
Kaiden said with a confident expression.
“What makes you think that?”
“When I was young, I was experimented on by those damn bastards from the temple. The moment I entered the Room of Rest, memories from that time vaguely came back to me.”
Kaiden spoke very calmly, as if recalling someone else’s memories.
Though his expression showed no trace of anguish, whether his inner feelings were peaceful was another matter.
“This island seems to be an island created for some kind of experiment. According to those bastards from the Papal Court who experimented on me, there was a list of test subjects. Jenas’s name was mentioned too, and it seemed like he had some connection with them. Same with our family.”
Kaiden paused for a moment and closed his mouth with a complicated expression. Having to recall those terrible memories from the past, he must have been quite shocked in his own way.
I quietly pondered his words.
What kind of experiment could it be for?
Moreover, the Temple and the Rohade Family were involved together.
The Rohade Family was a family representing mages, but hadn’t the history of conflict between mages and priests continued for a thousand years?
“Anyway, it’s become clear that Jenas isn’t an ally. To think he’s connected to the experiments on this island…”
I muttered somewhat bitterly.
Was that why Jenas had been favorable toward me? It’s natural for an experimenter to have goodwill or curiosity toward a test subject.
Enoch, who had been sitting silently with his arms crossed, opened his mouth.
“Did the Temple and Magic Tower join hands? I can’t understand at all why they would kidnap and experiment on major figures, including the Empire’s Crown Prince and the Kingdom’s Prince.”
“They must be trying to start a continental war.”
Kaiden answered with a sigh. With those words, heavy silence settled over us once again.
“Oh, come to think of it, Jenas told me to keep a close eye on the Saint. He said she seems to know something.”
“The Saint? Know what?”
Kaiden questioned in response to my words.
“I don’t know either. He said he was curious about it too. He wouldn’t explain any further.”
The time I stayed at Jenas’s cabin was only about a day and a half. Moreover, during that short time, too much information came flooding in, so I didn’t have the mental capacity to properly think about anything.
Looking back, it seems like many important puzzle pieces came out, but the process of putting all those puzzles together was more difficult than expected.
I rubbed my temples firmly and also recalled about the magical beasts.
“Jenas said he borrowed the eyes of magical beasts to watch us. However, he could only borrow their eyes, not control them.”
“Borrowing the eyes of magical beasts? Damn, those wolf bastards weren’t just looking at me randomly. They were really watching me. What the hell is that mage to do such creepy things?”
“He’s either the mastermind behind all this, or he’s been trapped on this island for a thousand years by people from the Temple and Rohade Family and isn’t in his right mind. It’s one of the two.”
When Kaiden got angry, Enoch answered calmly.
Come to think of it, that damn bastard told me to survive at all costs, but when I was about to become food for magical beasts, he just left me alone.
“Should we move to a different location first? I’m anxious because we don’t know when magical beasts might appear.”
Kaiden, who seemed like his anger hadn’t subsided, appeared to calm down a bit at those words. His red eyes glanced at me briefly.
“I’m here, Margaret. That’s solvable.”
He immediately picked up a thin tree branch and began drawing a magic circle on the dirt ground. What is he trying to do?
After drawing what looked like an extremely complex magic circle for quite a while and completing it, he stood on top of it and extended his hand to me.
“Can you lend me your mana?”
“Ah. Yes.”
I nodded with a bewildered face and extended my hand to him. It was the hand wearing the ring.
He grasped my hand and immediately a bluish light emanated from our clasped hands.
As Kaiden closed his eyes and extended his other hand toward the magic circle, the light that flowed through his hand seeped into the magic circle.
I could feel the mana draining from my body at a terrifying speed.
Shortly after, the blue light surrounding us rose up like a pillar. The light that had been emitting for a moment quickly dissipated.
Kaiden dusted off his hands and looked back at me and Enoch. He had returned to his usual cheerful expression.
“I’ve set up a barrier here so the magical beasts can’t see us. With this much, even Jenas won’t be able to peek in.”
He winked at me. As expected, Kaiden was the one who knew how to use the mana I possessed most efficiently and effectively.
There was still plenty of mana left in my body. So I glanced at Enoch.
He was still in a bloody state and the wounds he had sustained earlier seemed to have become quite serious.
“Kaiden, can you also do healing magic by any chance? Enoch’s wounds are…”
When I asked while pointing to Enoch’s shoulder, Enoch shook his head.
“I’m fine. It would be better for the Young Lady to receive treatment rather than me.”
“No, how can that be fine?”
“Wait a minute. What are you talking about, Margaret. Are you hurt?”
Kaiden hurriedly approached and grabbed my shoulders. Then he examined my outfit and made a surprised face.
“Huh? Wait, I couldn’t see because you’re wearing His Highness Crown Prince’s uniform. You were wearing pants? What’s this, why is this top like this? Why is it so short? Damn, I’ve never seen clothes like this before. Isn’t this too revealing? It’s worse than underwear?”
He slightly opened the jacket then closed it with a startled face.
“Don’t take this off. Really don’t take it off.”
Then he took off his own robe and put it on additionally over the jacket.
“You don’t have to go that far. It’s fine. These clothes are comfortable.”
When I objected to Kaiden’s words and tried to take off the robe, Enoch, who had been quietly watching, unexpectedly came to Kaiden’s defense.
“Margaret, I’d like you to follow Lord’s words. Those clothes are very dangerous.”
No, exactly where is this outfit dangerous? Who is in danger?
I looked back at Enoch with an absurd expression. This is the first time I’ve seen Enoch take Kaiden’s side like that.
“I’ll heal the wounds. First Margaret, you go first, and treating Your Highness comes after that.”
At Kaiden’s words, Enoch also nodded as if agreeing while crossing his arms.
Everyone was so adamant that I thought it would be better to quickly finish with my wounds first. I had no choice but to extend my hand with the ring to Kaiden.
Kaiden gently took my hand, then grinned and interlocked our fingers, pulling me slightly.
I, who had been sitting on the wooden post, stood up unexpectedly. As if he had been waiting, he wrapped around my waist and his face came close to mine.
Just before his lips touched my cheek, a large hand pushed between us and blocked it.
“Lord, what are you doing right now?”
A chilling voice like frost settled in the air. Enoch was standing right next to us.
‘Why is everyone so fast?’
Kaiden clicked his tongue and stepped back slightly from me.
He looked very disappointed, but under Enoch’s murderous gaze, he had no choice but to obediently focus on treating my wounds.
When he placed his hand on my wounded stomach, a bluish light poured out, and along with a slightly cold sensation, the stinging pain gradually began to fade.
“Wow. Amazing.”
Usually with pain, even if you take painkillers, there’s a time for the medicine to take effect, but this made the pain disappear immediately and noticeably.
‘I want to learn magic too.’
Kaiden finished the healing magic without any effort. He smiled prettily and squeezed the hand he was holding once without letting go. Then he approached Enoch.
Enoch’s white shirt was truly a mess. The shirt was torn like rags, revealing his solid abs and curved muscles here and there.
‘Now that I look at it again, it is rather embarrassing.’
It seems like there’s someone else who needs a jacket.
“I think it would be better to take it off. It’s too messy and looks troublesome to treat.”
Kaiden looked Enoch up and down, then clicked his tongue once.
Enoch silently unbuttoned his shirt one by one. As I quietly watched Enoch take off his shirt, Kaiden glanced at me.
“Margaret. Want to close your eyes?”
“Huh? Why?”
Kaiden looked bewildered at my question.
“No… then you’re going to watch?”
“It’s not like he’s taking off his pants.”
“Uh… right?”
Kaiden nodded with a reluctant expression. Meanwhile, Enoch completely took off and threw away his shirt, revealing his fierce yet sturdy physique.
Muscles delicately curved as if sculpted by God and his broad chest came into view.
Despite being splattered with blood and scratched up, I couldn’t shake the feeling that he looked like a perfect sculpture.
A man’s body could be this sensual.
Among the wounds on his body, the shoulder wound looked the most serious, but Enoch sat with a calm expression, exposing his bare body and quietly looking up at Kaiden and me.
His quiet golden eyes showed no disturbance whatsoever. As if he were someone who didn’t feel pain.
“This is pretty serious.”
Kaiden also furrowed his brow and examined Enoch’s wounds, then looked back at me.
“This will probably require a lot of mana, will you be okay?”
I nodded and looked down at my ringed hand clasped with his. The emerald-colored gem was glowing softly.
“It’s still enough.”
At my words, Kaiden nodded and picked up a thin tree branch. Then he began drawing a magic circle in the air instead of on the floor.
A blue trail followed the tree branch as it swept through the air. It was truly a wondrous sight.
Magic circles are extremely complex formulas. Even when drawing lines on the floor, you often make mistakes in the formula, but to draw a magic circle in the air where no lines remain.
‘Come to think of it, he said you could also manifest magic circles drawn in your mind.’
Kaiden really must be a genius after all.
But such leisurely thoughts were brief, as mana drained from my body at a frighteningly fast speed.
The feeling of energy disappearing in an instant made me gasp.
