Chapter 73

 

“How is his condition?”

 

Kaiden approached and asked me.

 

“Not very good. I need to treat him and monitor his progress. I’ll have to disinfect thoroughly. He’s injured in more than just one or two places, so there’s too much risk of infection.”

 

I took a deep breath and finally checked Enoch’s complexion. Everyone gathered around me and Enoch.

 

“That was a medicine bottle?”

 

Yuanna looked at the first aid kit that Luzef had brought with curiosity. Asdal crossed his arms and still sent me a gaze full of distrust.

 

“Young Lady is going to treat him? I understand now that Young Lady is good at everything. But I think this is a different matter from that. If something goes wrong with the Half-Emperor, can Young Lady take responsibility?”

 

Asdal ignored Enoch while subtly looking out for him. But that didn’t mean I could tolerate him being annoying to me.

 

I looked up at Asdal with sharp eyes. He flinched in surprise when our eyes met.

 

Yuanna looked back and forth between us two, then scolded Asdal.

 

“Either way, you’re not being helpful, so Young Lady would be better than Your Highness who has nothing to do.”

 

Then she gestured toward Asdal. As if telling him to move aside. Asdal, who had been pushed back by me once, was also pushed back by Yuanna and stood far away with a somewhat pitiful expression.

 

“Please, Your Highness, just keep your mouth shut. That would be helping.”

 

Kaiden, who was sitting next to me, clicked his tongue while looking at Asdal.

 

“I say, Lord, your words are harsh?”

 

“It seems like Lord has said something right for once in a long time.”

 

Unexpectedly, Luzef came to Kaiden’s defense in response to Asdal’s retort. Then Asdal looked back at Luzef with a face soaked in betrayal.

 

“Bishop, even you are doing this…”

 

“What’s important right now is treatment. Among us, Lady Flone is the only one who can use these medicines.”

 

Luzef showed the audacity to continuously cut off Asdal’s words. Kaiden, who had been quietly watching Luzef, smiled with an amused expression and picked a fight with Luzef.

 

“Hey, lackey. You just stay quiet.”

 

“What? I went to the trouble of taking your side, and this dirty magician…”

 

Luzef, who had been defending Kaiden just moments before, burst into anger.

 

“These insolent ones are quite a pair to behold.”

 

Asdal shook his head while looking at Luzef and Kaiden with the face of a stuffy department head.

 

It was complete chaos.

 

“Could you all please move aside since you’re being noisy? Right now Enoch is a patient who needs treatment and rest. He needs stability.”

 

At my words, the three men quietly shut their mouths. Diego and Yuanna were sitting quietly and watching what I was doing, so there was nothing to point out about them.

 

I sighed and looked at Enoch’s uniform as he lay there. It seemed he hadn’t worn a jacket when he went out, as he was only wearing a shirt as his top, but the shirt was torn to shreds and had become rags.

 

“Enoch, I need to treat your wounds, so I’m going to take off this shirt.”

 

At my words, Enoch slightly frowned, then slowly nodded his head.

 

I signaled to Kaiden who was sitting next to me. Then Kaiden helped me by holding Enoch’s wounds and taking off Enoch’s shirt while trying to prevent the wounds from opening as much as possible.

 

“Ugh.”

 

Enoch let out another pained groan. It seemed the shirt that had been stuck to his wounds left a stinging sensation as it came off.

 

That pain seemed to be transmitted to me as well, so I wrinkled my nose and checked Enoch’s expression.

 

Watching him take small deep breaths, I completely removed the shirt and examined the wounds in detail. The firm abs that I would normally have admired didn’t even catch my eye, hidden by the serious wounds.

 

“My goodness, this is really serious.”

 

Yuanna muttered while covering her mouth with both hands. As she said, the wound was really deep.

 

I checked the remaining number of disinfectants and also confirmed the condition of the ointment to apply on the wound. Then, I soaked cloth in the water Luzef had brought and wiped away the blood and dirt.

 

“Put this in Enoch’s mouth. It’s going to hurt.”

 

I rolled up the dress cloth pieces that were in the medicine bottle and handed them to Luzef who was sitting on the opposite side. Luzef carefully put the cloth in Enoch’s mouth.

 

I pressed the wound with disinfected cloth to stop the bleeding from areas that were still oozing blood.

 

Enoch’s eyebrows were deeply furrowed. Somehow I felt like I was in pain too, so I unconsciously frowned as well.

 

After a while, the bleeding seemed to have stopped to some extent, so I prepared the disinfectant.

 

“Enoch, this is going to hurt.”

 

At my words, Enoch nodded as if to say it was okay. I immediately poured disinfectant over his wound.

 

“Ugh! Kuk.”

 

Enoch let out a pained groan but endured it well.

 

After checking his complexion, I wrapped bandages around the disinfected areas and applied ointment over the lightly scratched wounds.

 

The problem was the large wounds that needed suturing. The first aid kit also contained suture thread and needles needed for suturing.

 

However, since there was contamination in the wound area, disinfecting and managing inflammation had to come first.

 

“For now, I think we need to keep monitoring the large gaping wounds until the flesh grows back.”

 

I finished cutting the bandage, secured it with clips, and put the remaining medicines into the first aid kit.

 

“It would be good to continue dressing and check for signs of inflammation. In this environment, we have no choice but to rely on his own recovery ability.”

 

Everyone gathered around Enoch and looked at me.

 

And those gazes were like…

 

They were like guardians listening to a doctor about a patient’s progress in the emergency room.

 

I had such an absurd thought while observing Enoch’s complexion. I stroked his head and added.

 

“There will be scars and it will take a very long time, but I’ll nurse you by your side.”

 

“I’ll help too. Healing is also my specialty. I’ve learned all about the types of medicine as the Young Lady taught me.”

 

Luzef said to me with a calm face.

 

“Thank you.”

 

“But this is really fascinating. I have no idea what’s written on it.”

 

Yuanna asked me while looking over the medicine bottle.

 

“That’s right. I’ve been to the Eastern Continent too, but there was no language like this.”

 

When Kaiden added his words, I panicked and watched his reaction. Then I quickly thought of an excuse.

 

“Uh, that’s… There’s a minority ethnic group called Korea in the Eastern Continent. You all probably wouldn’t know about it.”

 

Those who heard my words were asking each other with puzzled faces about where Korea was.

 

Once we escape from the island, I’m definitely going to be screwed.

 

Trying to ignore their gazes, I was placing my hand on Enoch’s cheek to check his fever as he slept peacefully.

 

My dress pocket wriggled and Eun-ji, who had been hiding quietly, slowly poked her head out.

 

“Ahhh!”

 

Luzef stepped back in surprise.

 

Startled by his scream, Eun-ji also seemed shocked and spun around in place before climbing back onto my leg.

 

I gently stroked her body as if to reassure her.

 

“Young Lady, is that a magical beast?”

 

Luzef asked me with a pale face, unable to take his eyes off Eun-ji.

 

“It seems like an anaconda magical beast…”

 

Before I could even finish my words, Diego drew his sword. Kaiden immediately pulled out his dagger, and Luzef hurriedly ran in front of me, standing protectively to shield me.

 

“What are you doing right now!”

 

Luzef shouted with a face full of anger.

 

I had seen him get irritated or annoyed many times, but this was the first time I’d seen Luzef explode with anger like this.

 

“Didn’t you say it was a magical beast? It’s dangerous.”

 

Diego replied without any wavering, pointing his sword at Eun-ji.

 

Eun-ji trembled as she climbed up my body, lay down on my shoulder, and hid her face between my hair.

 

My body vibrated lightly as she lay on my shoulder, trembling. I stroked Eun-ji’s body and glared at Diego.

 

“You scared our baby!”

 

When I raised my voice, a sudden cold silence fell.

 

The anger that had surged up also subsided at their unexpected reaction. Why is everyone staring at me like that?

 

“What, why?”

 

When I asked in confusion while looking around, Diego, who had been pointing his sword at me, lowered it with a dejected expression.

 

Yuanna spoke to me with a surprised face.

 

“I-I’ve never seen Lady Flone get genuinely angry like that before.”

 

“For the first time, I’m jealous of that snake bastard.”

 

“Didn’t you say it was a magical beast? Anyone would think it’s a pet snake.”

 

Yuanna, Kaiden, and Asdal spoke one after another, and Diego finished it off.

 

“Please explain exactly what happened here.”

 

“I was explaining. I don’t think someone who suddenly drew their sword has the right to say that, Sir Diego.”

 

I spoke to him without bothering to hide my anger. That woodcutter had no hesitation in pointing his sword at me.

 

“I apologize.”

 

In the end, Diego apologized to me.

 

I accepted Diego’s apology with a displeased expression and explained what had happened.

 

Of course, I deliberately didn’t mention the story about Kaiden distrusting me.

 

First, going out to the cliff with Kaiden, being attacked by a magical beast and falling. Then discovering the egg where I woke up. The egg that followed me hatching and Eun-ji being born.

 

After I explained up to the circumstances suggesting that Eun-ji had imprinted on me, everyone looked at Eun-ji on my shoulder with fascinated expressions.

 

“This is the first time I’ve seen a magical beast imprint on a human.”

 

Luzef muttered as if amazed. When I looked at him with a puzzled expression, he carefully explained to me.

 

“Usually they imprint on higher predators, but magical beasts don’t recognize humans as higher predators.”

 

Ah. When I let out an exclamation, Kaiden, who had been quietly lost in thought, continued.

 

“If it’s an anaconda, it’s already a top predator itself, so it wouldn’t have been easy to find another imprinting target. If it met you in that situation, there’s definitely a possibility it would imprint. Of course, under the premise that you have mana.”

 

He poked Eun-ji, who was still lying on my shoulder hiding her face between my hair, with his finger.

 

Under the premise that I have mana.

 

“The Young Lady does have an enormous amount of mana.”

 

Then suddenly Asdal acted like he knew about my mana.

 

His words were true. In the past, Margaret’s magic teacher had said ‘you have a large amount of mana, so you just need to build up your stamina.’

 

But even so, Kaiden must have had more mana than me, so why did she specifically imprint on me?

 

And in the first place, we can’t use mana on this island anyway.

 

I tilted my head in confusion, then furrowed my brow and asked Prince of Asdal.

 

“But how does Your Highness know my mana capacity?”

 

He casually shrugged his shoulders, then tapped his eyelids with his finger and smiled.

 

“I have the eyes to see such things.”
