Chapter 110
“Sorry, I didn’t think about the fact that you weren’t feeling well.”
Listening to Enoch’s murmur, I drowsily blinked my eyes.
It was a bit too small to cover all three of us, but we were all sharing Kaiden’s robe like a blanket.
As our body heat touched and a warm feeling surrounded us, I felt like I could live a little.
As my reason returned and embarrassing emotions rushed over me again, I cleared my throat and spoke words full of excuses.
“Come to think of it, I think it’s just body aches. I haven’t been able to sleep properly for several days, and yesterday I slept uncomfortably on the tree. My wounds haven’t fully healed yet, but I’ve been in a constant state of tension.”
Enoch sighed and patted my head.
“Just rest for now. We’ll keep watch.”
“Right. Rest, Margaret.”
Even without them saying anything, my eyelids were already gradually closing. And at some point, against my will, I fell asleep as if I had passed out.
* * *
I had slept deeply for the first time in a really long time. It had been so long since I had such a refreshing sleep that I even felt a sense of complete happiness.
Seeing how light my body felt, it seemed the body aches had completely gone away. Feeling slightly dazzled by the light, I gently lifted my eyelids.
I was still being held in Enoch and Kaiden’s arms. It had been terribly cold at night, but now that I had completely recovered from being sick, it was quite hot.
“Um…”
“You’re awake, I see.”
“Are you up, Margaret?”
I had just quietly opened my mouth, but both men asked me at the same time.
It seemed they really had shared their body heat with me and hadn’t slept a wink. I felt guilt and sorry feelings wash over me for no reason.
“I’m fine now. Thank you.”
I carefully moved away from their embrace and sat up. Then both men followed and got up.
Kaiden stretched and yawned, while Enoch was rubbing his neck as if it was stiff.
“It seems like everyone couldn’t sleep because of me…”
Eun-ji, who had been sleeping curled up at my feet, blinked and crawled over wiggling.
I petted the little one who climbed onto my lap and rubbed its face against my palm acting cute, then looked up.
Both men were looking at me with somewhat subtle expressions.
“What?”
Kaiden scratched his cheek awkwardly and avoided my gaze.
“No, I want to see yesterday’s Margaret again.”
‘Yesterday’s me?’
…Don’t tell me he’s talking about when I was talking nonsense asking to be held.
Enoch didn’t say anything, but his face showed he agreed with Kaiden’s words.
“I think I caused trouble for both of you yesterday. I’m sorry.”
“What trouble, it was so good…”
“Lord.”
When Enoch called Kaiden as if telling him to calm down, he obediently shut his mouth and shrugged his shoulders.
Enoch sighed and quietly placed his hand on my forehead. Then he gently caressed my cheek.
“Your fever seems to have completely gone down.”
At Enoch’s words, Kaiden glanced around and added his comment.
“Yesterday your body was completely like ice, then hot, it was total chaos.”
“Thank you all. Now I’ll take the night watch, so both of you should rest.”
At my words, Enoch and Kaiden looked at each other’s faces. Then they shook their heads as if it was nothing.
“We have good stamina so we’re fine, for a day at least.”
Since it wasn’t a lie that they had good stamina, I had nothing to say. Moreover, before I could bring up anything else, Enoch got up from his seat.
He picked up the shirt that had fallen on the floor and put it on. Kaiden also put on the shirt he had taken off and got up from his seat, extending his hand to me.
I picked up Eun-ji and took his hand to stand up.
“Today we should look for the cabin. We’ll make plans for what comes after that later.”
Enoch said to me while carefully scanning the surroundings.
“Margaret, if you’re okay with it, I think it would be good to look around the area right away. The barrier’s effect will probably disappear soon too.”
At Kaiden’s words, I tidied my clothes and found my cross bag to sling over my shoulder.
“Good. I can depart right away.”
When I answered energetically, Enoch smiled dryly and patted my head.
“Then, let’s depart.”
We wandered around the area searching for Jenas’s cabin like that, but as expected, we couldn’t find that cabin.
“How can it disappear so completely without a trace?”
Moreover, the closer we got to the cabin, the deeper the fog that enveloped us became, so we had no choice but to stop walking.
“Going inside like this would be dangerous.”
“Can’t you do something with magic?”
At my question, Kaiden rested his chin on his hand and stared at me intently, then looked around the surroundings.
“I can do it, but… the magic formula I use is a bit intricate so it requires a lot of mana.”
“Then isn’t there something simple yet effective that doesn’t need to be intricate?”
“Hmm, I could do something like that.”
At Kaiden’s answer, Enoch drew his sword and stood guard around the area, then said to us.
“Eun-ji and I will keep watch around here, so you two handle the fog.”
Eun-ji, who had been wrapped around my arm, flinched in surprise when her name was called, then glanced around cautiously and crawled down to the floor.
Then she positioned herself next to Enoch and flicked her tongue at me.
I smiled at her, then took Kaiden’s hand. Light emanated from our clasped hands and Kaiden began drawing a magic formula in the air.
Kaiden, who quickly completed the magic circle, infused mana into it.
However, the problem was that even though the magic circle activated, no effect occurred.
“What? The magic isn’t working?”
Kaiden frowned and muttered with a face full of confusion. Feeling the fog getting thicker, I grabbed his collar and pulled.
“I think it would be better to get out of here for now.”
Kaiden glanced at me. Enoch agreed with my words and spoke up.
“Right. If magic doesn’t work, then as Margaret says, retreating first would be better.”
Enoch swept through the thickening fog, sheathed his sword, and picked up Eun-ji from the floor.
In the end, we had to come out to a place where the fog was thinner and hold another strategy meeting. And that was up in a tree.
I sat squeezed between the two men, fidgeting restlessly from the awkwardness.
“But do we really have to climb all the way up here to have a meeting? We could just put up a barrier.”
Kaiden clicked his tongue at my words.
“Don’t use your mana so carelessly like that. Save it. You need time to recover too. You’ll collapse again at this rate.”
I obediently nodded at his words.
Enoch quietly watched us, then brought his index finger to his lips and gestured for us to be quiet.
Understanding immediately what that meant, Kaiden and I held our breath and looked down below the tree.
A strange wolf-like magical beast with long rabbit ears and six legs was sniffing around the ground as it passed by. I held my breath.
Then I remembered what Jenas had said about magical beasts liking me.
‘Could it be following my scent?’
The creature wandered around our vicinity, sniffing as if searching for something, before finally disappearing after a long while.
“Jenas might be borrowing the eyes of creatures like that. We’d better stay hidden after all.”
Kaiden, who had been quietly lost in thought, muttered in a low voice, and Enoch nodded as if agreeing with his words.
“We should start by making future plans first.”
When Enoch quietly spoke up, Kaiden nodded while resting the back of his head against his clasped hands.
“Whether it’s Jenas or Anata, we need to go to the cabin to find out what they’re hiding, but from what we’ve seen, it seems impossible to find…”
“How about we look for other clues first? Or find the Saint.”
Both men nodded at my words.
“The map the Saint had showed locations where supplies were stored, right? Wasn’t it on the way down to South Island?”
Kaiden, who had an excellent memory, spoke to me with a face that said he’d just remembered something.
Come to think of it, that was right. I was sure the location with those supplies had been marked near the bunker area.
“Margaret, don’t you have that map you drew before?”
Kaiden asked me. I shrugged and let out a sigh.
“It all got soaked with water.”
Then I suddenly remembered that Enoch had opened my cross bag when he said he’d treat my wound.
I was sure he must have seen the notebook I found in the cabin and what looked like cloth pieces of the bunker map then.
Why didn’t he say anything?
I glanced at Enoch. Meeting my eyes, he raised his eyebrows as if he didn’t understand.
‘I guess I have to reveal the bunker now…?’
The bunker could no longer be my Plan B. It makes me want to cry. Having no corner left to escape to.
I looked around cautiously, then fumbled in my pocket and pulled out the bunker map, spreading it open.
“I have a different map.”
Kaiden crossed his arms and looked at me with a surprised expression.
“Where did this come from?”
