Chapter 34
“Phew.”
I heard Enoch’s sigh as he seemed to regain consciousness. I approached him again to check his condition.
“Aren’t you going to explain why the Crown Prince is acting like this?”
“I think it would be better to hear that directly from him.”
What right did I have to gossip about Enoch’s trauma to others? In situations like this, silence was better.
Enoch wrinkled his nose bridge and looked up at me. His eyes lacked focus, so it seemed he hadn’t completely regained his senses yet.
Kaiden seemed inwardly surprised seeing Enoch’s condition. He ran his hands through his hair.
“Then it’ll be difficult to get an explanation.”
He seemed to think Enoch wouldn’t answer directly.
“What happened to you?”
“If you ask me, I’ll tell you anything.”
I knew it was a lie. Strangely, Kaiden was good at sweet-talking only me.
He stroked his chin and casually glanced at the dead anacondas, then frowned irritably.
“I briefly left the cabin to chase away some pests, you know?”
Kaiden continued speaking while running his hands through the back of his hair with a face trying to recall memories.
“Suddenly there was a loud crashing sound, so I came running, and that thing was there. It was eating something, though I don’t know what.”
The anaconda was eating something? Could there be a more chilling sentence than that?
My heart ached too much seeing the cabin we had worked so hard to build destroyed so miserably.
“For a monster to appear all the way here, this place doesn’t seem to be a safe refuge either.”
At my words, Kaiden also nodded while scanning the surroundings with a serious face.
“Right. We’ll have to look for another refuge.”
Kaiden dragged Archbishop Luzef, who had been unconscious near the riverside, to the vicinity of the destroyed cabin.
Meanwhile, having regained consciousness, Enoch approached me with a much calmer face.
“As expected, I can’t do without you.”
Right. It was natural for Enoch to be grateful to me. If I hadn’t been there, just thinking about what would have happened to Enoch in front of Kaiden was dizzying.
Kaiden glanced around and moved his lips toward Enoch, but eventually closed his mouth. It seemed he had tried to ask directly about Enoch’s seizure symptoms but gave up.
“Your symptoms seem to be improving gradually, don’t they? If you’re okay for now, shall we all clean this up together?”
I appropriately encouraged Enoch and changed the subject. So we cleared the debris of the destroyed cabin and gathered and organized our belongings.
“Kaiden. Come here so I can treat your wounds.”
I rummaged through the destroyed cabin to find the first aid kit and made Kaiden sit on the ground.
“Enoch, I’m going to treat Kaiden’s wounds, so please don’t come close.”
Enoch, who had been far away, nodded and turned his back. I confirmed he had completely turned around and spoke to Kaiden.
“Take off your shirt.”
Kaiden took off his torn and ruined mage robe and even removed his white shirt completely.
I was purely amazed by his revealed solid abs. No matter how I looked at it, was this really a mage’s body?
Though not as much as Enoch, he looked as solid as any decent knight. His well-built muscles and abs were perfect.
If these were wounds from an anaconda, there should have been poison, but Kaiden was more intact than expected. Enoch had suffered from monster poison before, so why was Kaiden fine?
I wiped away the blood splattered all over Kaiden’s body with a wet cloth.
Why was I getting nervous over something like this?
Kaiden kept staring at me while I wiped his body.
I should have just told him to wipe his own body. My thinking was shallow. For some reason, I felt heat rising to my face.
I swallowed dry saliva and was about to wring out the cloth and put it down when suddenly Kaiden grabbed my wrist. He leaned his cheek against my hand and smiled prettily.
“Do more, why are you stopping?”
I took a deep breath for a moment and removed my hand from his cheek.
“…That’s not it, I really need to treat your wounds now.”
Then I was taking out the disinfectant when suddenly Enoch approached, pushed me aside, and sat in my place.
“It looks like all the blood has been wiped away, so I’ll take care of the wounds instead.”
He snatched the disinfectant from my hand.
Enoch could handle minor wounds, but the wounds Kaiden had sustained were quite large and deep, so even after wiping away the blood, there seemed to be problems.
I reached out in surprise to stop him, then realized when I saw the blood vessels standing out on his reddened knuckles gripping the disinfectant.
It seemed this much was controllable with mental strength.
‘But why is he going so far to treat Kaiden directly?’
I couldn’t understand and stared at Enoch.
“What, what’s this about? I refuse. If it’s not Margaret, I won’t receive treatment.”
Kaiden jumped up from his seat and stepped back.
However, Enoch didn’t budge and gestured with his finger toward him with a stern face.
“Be quiet and sit down.”
“I refuse. Margaret, come here.”
When Kaiden reached out toward me sitting next to Enoch, Enoch grabbed his wrist.
“Kaiden Blake Rohade.”
“Yes, Your Highness Crown Prince. I refuse.”
Kaiden picked his ear with his other hand and looked at Enoch irritably.
Watching the two men glare at each other menacingly, I sighed.
“If you keep interfering with my work, I’ll just leave alone.”
As soon as those words ended, a cold silence flowed. The two men became docile.
Now I seemed to have learned how to handle these two.

The next day, we eventually decided to find another dwelling and move again.
Since monsters had appeared, this place wasn’t safe either.
Archbishop Luzef woke up late and fidgeted with an embarrassed face, then helped pack while reading the mood.
Kaiden poured a bowlful of curses at him telling him to get lost, but Archbishop Luzef stubbornly stayed without leaving even while listening to Kaiden’s abuse.
The most surprising thing was Kaiden’s stamina. He had suffered all night from fever due to his wounds, but when morning came, he moved around like someone who had recovered completely.
‘Does he have resistance to poison or something?’
Perhaps it could be related to the experiments he had endured when kidnapped by the temple as a child.
The wounds we had discovered in front of the cave last time were really serious wounds, so he couldn’t get up…
I told him to rest quietly out of concern, but he didn’t listen.
As if he didn’t care at all, he bounced around from morning picking fruit. Something about being hungry from exerting himself yesterday.
“I’ll go do some reconnaissance around the area before we leave. It would be good if we could find out something about that anaconda before I return.”
At my words, Archbishop Luzef, who had been reading Kaiden and Enoch’s moods, scurried over to me.
“I’ll go with you. Two would be better than one alone, wouldn’t it?”
Kaiden, who had immediately followed him, put his arm around Archbishop Luzef’s shoulders.
“Where are you trying to go?”
Archbishop Luzef brushed off Kaiden’s arm with a displeased face, but didn’t get angry.
Knowing how terrible his temper was, it seemed quite impressive to me that he endured Kaiden’s rudeness like that.
Did he want to stay here so badly that he’d go that far?
Enoch also rarely agreed with Kaiden’s opinion and gave Archbishop Luzef a hint.
“Then I’ll go alone.”
When Enoch approached me saying it was still dangerous to go alone, I quickly raised my hand to stop his steps.
“I can go alone. If it’s dangerous, I’ll shoot this.”
When I took out a flare from my pocket and waved it, Enoch finally listened to me and barely nodded. Then he earnestly urged me to run away unconditionally if anything dangerous happened.
I smiled at Enoch as if to reassure him. Enoch made a displeased face as if he couldn’t trust me, but I didn’t mind and quietly left the cabin.
Since we had to move, I decided to return before too much time passed.
Having completely left the makeshift cabin, I found the empty supply box I had seen yesterday again.
I belatedly remembered that there was a supply warehouse guarded by magical beasts in the novel.
I recall that the supply warehouse contained various modern weapons along with survival kits and food supplies.
I think it was near the bunker.
I looked around the empty boxes to see if there might be some clues, but there wasn’t much to find… or so I thought, until I noticed something under the boxes.
I caught a glimpse of what looked like wooden planks between the dirt ground, so I hurriedly cleared away the soil with my hands.
Buried underneath was something like a square wooden box. I dug out a bit more dirt and then pulled the box out of the ground.
The lid of the wooden box had a silver metal clasp, but there was no lock attached.

Flame Bomb
After reading the text written on the surface of the wooden box, I was greatly shocked. A grenade?
Moreover, someone had artificially erased the Korean text and written “Flame Bomb” in Langrid Empire language underneath.
Is it safe to open this box? It says “Handle with Care.”
I stared at the closed box for a long time, pondering, then steeled my resolve.
Right, whether I die this way or that way.
