Chapter 16

Enoch laid bare his inner thoughts like a sinner making confession before a priest.

“When I fiercely competed with my brothers in childhood, when I lost comrades on the battlefield, there was no one to tell me that enough was enough. So I don’t really know how to stop and control things at the right time.”

I quietly listened to his confession.

I already knew through Margaret’s memories how arduously he had climbed to the position of crown prince.

Until now, Enoch had no brakes. And there was no one to comfort him by asking if he wasn’t struggling and telling him it was okay to stop.

Moreover, suffering from post-war trauma was a type of trauma itself, and there would have been no one to help him treat it.

“As I mentioned earlier, it’s an aftereffect that developed after the war ended. Because the memory of losing so many comrades in the Battle of Romalijan was so intense, I go into a rampage when I see blood, though minor wounds are fine.”

It seems his seizure symptoms don’t react to small wounds. That’s truly fortunate.

“Until now, no one has been able to control my condition without equipment or medication. You’re the first, Margaret.”

All I did was tell him it was okay.

In the original story, Yuanna had solved this problem through physical love, but looking at it now, that didn’t seem to be a fundamental solution to the trauma.

I spoke as sparingly as possible while making a request of him.

“I understand what kind of situation this is. I’m not sure how much help I can actually be, but I’ll do my best to help you. Still, avoiding situations where you see blood should be the priority.”

At my words, Enoch obediently nodded his head.

“I’ll do that. To you, Margaret… I’m sorry.”

“Stop saying you’re sorry. I know it’s not your fault.”

At my words, Enoch closed his mouth again with a heavy expression.

He pushed aside the broken wooden stick and casually rummaged through the first aid kit placed beside me.

“Which one is the medicine for applying to wounds?”

Medicine for wounds? Were there more injuries?

I hurriedly rummaged through the kit and pulled out the ointment. I was about to say I’d apply it for him, but Enoch snatched the ointment from my hand.

“Looking at it again, it’s strangely shaped medicine.”

Enoch muttered while looking at the Fucidin, then knelt on one knee in front of me. Then he opened the cap, squeezed some ointment onto his hand, and approached me.

When I pulled back in surprise, Enoch furrowed his brow and looked at me.

“Why, why?”

“We should apply medicine here too, shouldn’t we?”

Enoch applied the ointment to my cheekbone.

Enoch’s face was so close that I unconsciously held my breath.

Unlike his rough approach, his touch rubbing over the wound was very gentle.

Actually, Fucidin wasn’t an ointment for bruised areas, but I didn’t bother to mention that fact out loud. It seemed like Enoch was very focused on this action.

Somehow it felt like I shouldn’t break this atmosphere.

Honestly, I can’t say I had no ulterior motives. With such a handsome face right in front of me, how could I not quietly appreciate it?

“Ah.”

When his finger brushed over a slightly deeper wound, a stinging sensation washed over me and I frowned.

“What else did that man do to you?”

Enoch asked me with a truly serious expression. As if he would have really killed Kaiden if he had been right in front of him. Why is he being so dramatically over the top all of a sudden?

“That’s all there was. I kicked him and ran away. Then I tripped over a stone and fell unconscious. When I woke up, it was morning.”

As my story continued, Enoch’s lips twitched as if there were more than one or two things he wanted to point out.

However, what he finally said was,

“Until we escape this island, it would be better not to think about moving alone.”

That was all.

I obediently nodded my head.

“That’s what I intend to do.”

Of course, it was a lie.

Now that I had encountered Kaiden, I couldn’t feel safe just staying quietly by Enoch’s side.

I needed to quickly find at least a clue about the bunker’s location.
