Chapter 130
* * *
The Prince of Asdal’s eyes fluttered open as his body lurched uncomfortably. A brilliant blue sky swam into view, shifting with each movement.
Screeeech—
Screeeech—
His body jolted and swayed with each tremor.
When he tried to move too quickly, a pained groan escaped his lips.
The pain in his side was excruciating. It seemed certain that a bone had fractured.
“Oh? You’re awake?”
Yuanna Lucy’s voice came from above his head. She was dragging him across an enormous tree leaf, transporting him along the way.
“Phew. I thought I’d die from exhaustion.”
The Prince of Asdal felt both grateful and apologetic toward her, and he struggled to sit up.
“Don’t strain yourself. I ended up eating Your Highness’s entire meal anyway. That’s why I thought you collapsed so weakly.”
Yuanna Lucy sighed and stopped him from moving.
The Prince of Asdal felt ashamed and his face flushed red.
“I’m grateful for your help. And for saving me.”
“Well, you should be grateful for saving you. You now owe me your life twice over.”
“I will repay this debt without fail.”
At his resolute answer, Yuanna Lucy smiled.
“Yes. I’m looking forward to it.”
The Prince of Asdal turned his head to examine the area where the pain radiated. It wasn’t his lower back that had fractured, but rather a bone located in his upper abdomen.
‘Wasn’t it the ribs that Lady Flone mentioned?’
Margaret Rose Flone had suffered the same injury before. At that time, she had said that the waist needed to be protected with something firm.
Since the Prince of Asdal was wearing casual indoor clothes rather than his formal uniform, he lacked a jacket sturdy enough to support his waist like a protective brace.
‘When the ribs are fractured, walking more is actually better than resting. Don’t worry.’
That was what Margaret Rose Flone had said to Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid when he tried to delay their schedule out of consideration for her.
“Huh? Why are you getting up?”
Yuanna Lucy grunted as she dragged the tree leaf he had been lying on, then looked at him with a puzzled expression.
The Prince of Asdal brushed himself off and stood, turning to face her. As he did, a wave of pain made him furrow the space between his eyebrows.
“The symptoms are the same as when Lady Flone was injured before. The location of the injury is similar too. At that time, she didn’t complain. Rather, she said walking was beneficial.”
Yuanna Lucy’s face lit up with understanding, and she let out an exclamation. Her expression grew serious as she rested her chin in her hand, lost in thought.
“Lady Flone really does know so much.”
The Prince of Asdal completely agreed with her murmur.
“I’m beginning to wonder if the Young Lady I knew was truly herself. It’s as though she’s been hiding her real self all this time.”
Yuanna Lucy’s eyes sparkled with intrigue.
“We really should meet Lady Flone as soon as possible.”
The Prince of Asdal wholeheartedly agreed with her words.
Surviving on This Island without Margaret Rose Flone seemed impossible. Without her assistance, he might have met his end long ago.
Yet how had he treated her thus far? Hadn’t he constantly doubted and pressed her? Looking back at the past days, he had no right to complain even if Margaret Rose Flone fled because she didn’t wish to be with him.
The Prince of Asdal exhaled a quiet sigh. It was all his own karma—there was nothing to be done about it.
Even if Margaret Rose Flone expressed her anger and contempt upon their reunion, he would have to bear it. Even if he could turn back time, he would have been the one to suspect Margaret Rose Flone.
The Prince of Asdal moved his body with utmost caution, surveying his surroundings.
“Did we cross over to the North Island?”
“Yes, we just arrived.”
At Yuanna Lucy’s words, the Prince of Asdal finally noticed that the long path visible behind them was the only route connecting the North Island and South Island.
Then Yuanna Lucy pulled out a Map from her pocket and unfolded it, examining the terrain.
“Hmm. It looks like there are Supplies nearby. Should we gather them and head west? It’s quite close from here.”
The Prince of Asdal examined the Map following Yuanna Lucy. Just as she said, the word “Supplies” was marked on the Eastern North Island.
The location was very close to where they stood, so it didn’t seem difficult to stop by along the way.
I had found Supplies before on the South Island as well. However, there were almost no items I knew how to use, let alone items whose purpose I understood.
Moreover, when I encountered the Swampland at that time, I had to abandon all the items I had gathered.
“It seems important to gather as many Supplies as possible to Escape. I wish we could find a Weapon.”
Hearing Yuanna Lucy mutter to herself, the Prince of Asdal stared intently at her face.
“You speak as though you know the method of Escape.”
At the Prince of Asdal’s words, Yuanna Lucy lifted her head. She gazed at him quietly with a thoughtful expression, then answered matter-of-factly.
“I know there’s an Exit in that damned brat’s Cabin. I need a Weapon to get there.”
“That damned brat?”
At Yuanna Lucy’s answer, the Prince of Asdal furrowed the space between his eyebrows.
Again. She speaks in incomprehensible riddles once more.
The Prince of Asdal gazed at her bright face with a troubled expression for a moment. Then he carefully broached the subject.
“I’ve wanted to ask the Saint something for a while now….”
“Go ahead and ask.”
Yuanna Lucy shrugged her shoulder and answered readily. Her expression suggested she would answer anything at all.
The Prince of Asdal decided to ask everything he had been curious about this time.
“I want to know the reason your attitude changed so suddenly. Don’t say it didn’t. It changed abruptly after Lady Flone fell into the River.”
“….”
“You remembered something, didn’t you? What exactly does the Saint know….”
That was when it happened.
Guoooooo—
A bizarre shriek echoed from a distant place.
The Prince of Asdal and Yuanna Lucy lifted their heads simultaneously.
It was midday, with a scorching sun blazing in the Sky.
I was aware that the Magical Beasts’ behavior Pattern was changing. Magical Beasts were appearing even during the daytime.
But the Shriek that echoed now was a strange kind I had never heard on the South Island.
Yuanna Lucy’s face grew increasingly pale. Her body stiffened rigidly as she turned her head to look at the Prince of Asdal.
“Good heavens…. I had forgotten. Magical Beasts undergo Evolution….”
“What do you mean?”
“Originally, Magical Beasts only appeared in the middle of the Night.”
“What?”
“And just before I turned back time, they began appearing when the Sunset started.”
The Prince of Asdal furrowed the space between his eyebrows, utterly bewildered by what she was saying. Turning back time? What in the world did that mean?
Yet Yuanna Lucy seemed too distressed to explain in detail, continuing to mutter as if speaking to herself.
“That’s not all. She said the form would change too.”
So who said that?
The Prince of Asdal had many questions he wanted to ask, but Yuanna Lucy seized his arm with trembling hands and pulled him urgently forward, preventing him from pressing further.
“Your Highness. That sound came from a Magical Beast. We need to escape.”
But they hadn’t gone far before they encountered the very pack of Magical Beasts in question.
The creatures possessed grotesque forms so bizarre that their true nature was incomprehensible.
‘One mountain after another.’
The Prince of Asdal muttered the idiomatic expression Margaret Rose Flone often used, roughly running his hand through his hair. This time, survival might truly be difficult.
* * *
I regained consciousness on a plush Bed.
I had no idea how much time had passed. My mind felt remarkably clear, and I felt refreshed.
As I shifted my body, I realized my movements were somewhat restricted.
“Mm.”
A low, sleep-laden voice reached my ears.
Only then did I open my eyes wide. My vision filled with sculpted muscle and soft bare skin.
Gasp.
I thought I must have been dreaming last night.
But it wasn’t a dream.
Wait… it wasn’t a dream?
I bolted upright. On the Bed lay Kaiden and Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid, both shirtless, sleeping beside me.
I had no idea how Enoch and Kaiden had found their way into the Bunker. I looked around, but neither Archbishop Luzef nor Diego Bastian Vilterheim were visible.
The two men remained oblivious to my movements, sleeping soundly. It seemed they were both as exhausted as I had been.
It had been nearly half a year since I’d slept on a proper Bed.
Kaiden was one thing, but this was the first time I’d seen Enoch sleep so deeply. Since arriving on This Island, I rarely witnessed him sleeping properly, yet here he was, slumbering without even noticing I’d awakened.
I gazed at his face with closed eyes, then carefully arranged the disheveled hair falling across his forehead. Then I gently caressed his forehead with my thumb.
How could skin be so smooth?
Slowly, I lowered my hand, brushing the bridge of his nose, and paused at his soft lips.
Suddenly, the memory of last night’s kiss flooded back, and I hastily withdrew my hand.
Mm.
Just then, Kaiden’s large hand reached from behind me and wrapped around my abdomen. He’d extended one arm in his sleep and embraced me.
I glanced back at him. Even in sleep, he was beautiful. With his pure silver hair and delicate features, he truly looked like an angel.
‘But didn’t Kaiden have Poison Resistance?’
From my memories of last night, he clearly appeared to be in a state of Poison Intoxication.
I recalled being told that only the low body temperature of someone not poisoned could detoxify the toxic substances from the Tentationem Flower…
Seeing that even Kaiden, who possessed immunity, had become poisoned suggested this was no ordinary Poisoning.
Then, remembering the passionate kiss I’d shared with them, I buried my face in my hands. It was my first kiss ever, and I’d done it while not in my right mind! How unfair!
‘Damn Jenas.’
If not for Tentationem, I could have held them back. The memory surfaced that these flowers here were planted by Jenas, so even Anata couldn’t touch them.
Certainly, if it’s a deadly poison that produces such powerful intoxicating effects, approaching the Door won’t be easy. Besides, it’s not the kind of Door that simply opens when you try.
I removed Kaiden’s arm wrapped around my waist and rose from the Bed in a half-asleep state.
Having expended so much energy the previous night, my entire body felt drained of strength.
I wasn’t sure how things had come to this, but my clothes were in terrible condition.
My white T-shirt was stretched out and torn in multiple places, looking quite unsightly. Since it had been ruined by the Poison Gas, it felt uncomfortable to wear.
Clothes were scattered messily on a hanger in the corner of the room.
‘Perfect.’
Before the men could wake, I quickly selected a top I could wear from the hanging clothes. Since only a crop top was suitable this time, I reluctantly put on a white short-sleeved crop top.
Fortunately, there was one jacket here, so I could throw a black flight jacket over the crop top. Since the only pants on the hanger were jeans, I decided to simply keep wearing the cargo pants I already had on.
Just then, Eun-ji, who had been curled up sleeping on the floor carpet, opened her eyes. Startled upon seeing me, she bounced to her feet and circled around me excitedly.
I smiled and stroked her Scales, then gazed at the men sleeping on the Bed.
Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid was just then stirring on the Bed, rising with a rustling sound. Kaiden was still lost in slumber.
“Margaret…?”
His voice was deep and low, still heavy with sleep.
Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid sat perched on the edge of the Bed and performed a dry face washing. Then, stroking his chin with his hand, he raised his eyebrows and looked at me.
“Why are you already awake?”
Still in the state of having just woken, his eyes held a drowsy quality.
Since he had even removed his upper garment, he exuded a rather sensual atmosphere.
