Chapter 50

 

I bent down and carefully picked it up.

 

I thought it was pure white, but looking closely, it was an egg that sparkled with a silver gleam.

 

“Is it a bird’s egg?”

 

“It could be from a monster.”

 

Kaiden answered leisurely, leaning the back of his head against his clasped hands.

 

“Just to be safe, it would be better to put it down.”

 

Enoch muttered. I agreed with his words.

 

“Then since it might be dangerous, it would be better to place it somewhere far from the cabin.”

 

I went very far from the cabin and only returned after placing the egg down.

 

When I returned, the cabin had become noisy.

 

I entered the cabin with Enoch and Kaiden, then was startled to see the cabin in complete chaos.

 

“What’s going on?”

 

I asked Luzef, who was closest to me.

 

Luzef looked back at me with his face turned bright red. He said while desperately trying to hold back laughter,

 

“Ah, Young Lady, you should step outside for a moment. Pfft, if you stay here, you’ll see something unseemly.”

 

And then I saw it. Diego running down from the second floor in his underwear.

 

Upon spotting me, he was startled and let out a scream.

 

At the same time, large hands reached out from both sides to cover my eyes. It was Enoch and Kaiden.

 

“What on earth is this behavior, Diego?”

 

Enoch’s frosty voice settled in my ears.

 

The loud sound of footsteps coming down the stairs, the clattering and bustling noise, and even Kaiden’s mad laughter made everything quite chaotic.

 

“What’s happening?”

 

“It seems Diego has lost his clothes. He went to the nearby valley for a morning bath, but during his bath, his clothes disappeared, so he came up here wearing only his underwear.”

 

“Ah, so that’s what it was.”

 

I couldn’t help but burst into delighted laughter.

 

Then the hands covering my eyes were removed and my body was turned around. Enoch had turned me to face away from where Diego could be seen.

 

“Margaret, don’t tell me…”

 

At Enoch’s narrowed gaze, I smiled mischievously.

 

“I also went to the valley earlier.”

 

At my words, Kaiden, who was standing beside me, put his arm around my shoulder and asked in a voice still tinged with laughter,

 

“Was this Margaret’s work?”

 

“What do you mean by that?”

 

Luzef looked back at me with a puzzled expression.

 

I glanced at Luzef, then spotted a large apple-shaped bottom in underwear behind him and turned my head away again. My eyes are ruined.

 

“You know what, Diego?”

 

I raised my voice while facing Enoch so Diego could hear me.

 

“There’s a saying called karma. It means you receive the consequences of your own actions. So why did you throw away your chivalrous spirit and go around doing perverted things like stealing women’s dresses?”

 

“Young Lady, did you steal my clothes!”

 

“I didn’t steal them; you’re simply reaping what you sowed.”

 

I made excuses quite brazenly and burst into delighted laughter.

 

Needless to say, Enoch’s expression as he looked at me changed subtly, but for now, I was too happy.

 

“I was wrong.”

 

Then Diego’s voice was heard. I was puzzled and tried to turn around, but Enoch gripped my shoulder tightly, so I couldn’t face Diego.

 

“Don’t turn around. It’s unseemly.”

 

At Enoch’s words, I obediently nodded, and Kaiden clutched his stomach and laughed once more.

 

“I wasn’t in my right mind then. I’ve been constantly reflecting on that day’s events and blaming myself.”

 

Being on this island, one can’t help but be out of their right mind. However, my understanding only goes that far.

 

“What were you planning to do with my stolen clothes?”

 

“I was going to give them to the Saint.”

 

To Yuanna?

 

“The Saint has clothes too. She has perfectly good clothes…”

 

Then I suddenly recalled that Yuanna’s clothing condition was a bit more seriously disheveled than mine. But that still doesn’t justify stealing someone’s only set of clothes.

 

I closed my mouth and pondered, then asked him again.

 

“Why didn’t you apologize right away?”

 

I asked sullenly with my arms crossed, without looking back at Diego.

 

“That’s… It might sound like an excuse, but I was looking for the right timing to apologize.”

 

Diego said in an earnest voice.

 

I listened to his apology for a moment and pondered. Should I refuse the apology, or should I accept it?

 

But it doesn’t seem right to accept an apology immediately. I decided not to return his clothes until this afternoon.

 

At perfect timing, Yuanna and Asdal entered through the cabin’s front door.

 

“What’s everyone doing? Oh my!”

 

Yuanna looked at me with a puzzled expression, then looked beyond me and screamed. Along with Asdal’s shout, the sound of Diego being scolded for a second time could be heard.

 

After being lectured by everyone like that, I only told him where his clothes were located in the evening.

 

Diego’s clothes were under Asdal’s bed, but being a noble gentleman, he probably couldn’t bring himself to search under the Prince’s bed.

 

“Margaret really is entertaining.”

 

After the incident was over, Kaiden tried to persuade me to think of other ways to mess with Diego.

 

“Too bothersome.”

 

Since messing with someone or getting revenge requires considerable time and mental energy, I flatly refused. Diego seemed to have gotten the message too.

 

“That’s a shame.”

 

Kaiden clicked his tongue as if disappointed. That guy never knows when to stop either.

After finishing dinner with mushroom porridge, we held a meeting. It was to discuss our future plans.

 

We gathered and sat in front of the fireplace. It would be quite a rare sight to see high nobles sitting casually on the floor like this for a meeting.

 

Those who initially cared about etiquette and manners had now naturally adapted to this harsh environment. If more time passes, perhaps even each other’s social status would become meaningless.

 

I hope everyone can hold onto their sanity at least until we escape from the island.

 

“Shall we begin the discussion?”

 

While I was lost in such thoughts, Enoch’s voice was heard and I raised my head.

 

The meeting was conducted by Enoch, who had experience from state council meetings and tactical meetings.

 

I thought Asdal would object, but he seemed to have no interest in the meeting itself, consistently sitting with his arms crossed and smiling nonchalantly.

 

Like our side, their group also didn’t seem to have any particularly sensible individuals.

 

“Is there really nothing you can think of regarding the key, Saint?”

 

At Enoch’s sharp voice, I put aside my thoughts and raised my head. Even after hearing Enoch’s reproach, Yuanna shook her head with a calm expression without being intimidated.

 

“Nothing. Other than it being by my bedside when I woke up, I don’t know anything either.”

 

Enoch looked at Yuanna’s face with an indifferent gaze.

 

I rested my chin on my hand and watched the scene with somewhat strange feelings.

 

Enoch is definitely not the type to fall in love at first sight. Even in the original story, I remember he was slowly drawn to and captivated by Yuanna.

 

He’s probably in that process right now, isn’t he?

 

Enoch, Kaiden, and Archbishop Luzef all treated me hostilely at first and have only recently changed to a favorable attitude.

 

I must not forget that they might become Yuanna’s people in the future. I mustn’t let my guard down.

 

I carefully observed Enoch’s gaze as he looked at Yuanna.

 

However, perhaps it wasn’t time yet, because no matter how much I observed, Enoch’s gaze toward Yuanna seemed like…

 

“You don’t know about the location of the escape gate either?”

 

Enoch questioned Yuanna once again.

 

Ah, right. It looked exactly like interrogating a criminal.

 

‘A criminal.’

 

Was it really okay for the male lead to look at the female lead like that?

 

“Aren’t you questioning her too aggressively? You’ve startled the Saint.”

 

Diego spoke as if protecting Yuanna. Of course, Yuanna didn’t look startled at all. Enoch tilted his head crookedly.

 

“Lord Diego.”

 

Enoch’s low voice settled heavily into the air like lead. Enoch’s golden eyes looking at Diego gleamed with oppressive authority as if to crush his opponent.

 

In that suffocating atmosphere, I was reminded anew that Enoch was the Crown Prince of the Empire and the battle commander who led the war to victory.

 

“You do realize that your actions on this island constitute grounds for accountability as Captain of the Imperial Guard, don’t you?”

 

Enoch rested his finger against his temple and asked while looking at Diego. Diego seemed to have nothing to say as he kept his mouth tightly shut.

 

Right, it would be strange if he had something to say.

 

“When we return to the Empire, be prepared for at least a demotion.”

 

At Enoch’s words, Yuanna, who had been pressing her temples firmly, looked at him with a crooked smile.

 

“Having Lord Diego demoted just for taking my side seems like excessive abuse of power.”

 

I thought demotion was quite a lenient measure, but Yuanna’s position seemed different.

 

More than anything, the relationship between Enoch and Yuanna was sharp and deadly, as if they were facing mortal enemies rather than having any romantic connection.
