Chapter 78

 

“It smells wonderful.”

 

Archbishop Luzef returned with a refreshed expression, having apparently calmed himself down properly, and spoke.

 

“What’s that?”

 

I looked puzzled at the bright red flower in his hand. Then Archbishop Luzef walked over, showing me the flower bouquet he held.

 

“Ah, isn’t it pretty? It was right in front of the cabin, but the flowers must have bloomed recently so we didn’t notice them before.”

 

The bright red petals were wide with almost no wrinkles, making them look just like hard candy. They seemed to resemble poppy flowers somewhat.

 

“I wanted to give it to Young Lady as a gift.”

 

Archbishop Luzef held out the flower bouquet to me.

 

“This is my first time receiving flowers as a gift.”

 

I received the flowers with a bewildered expression and soon frowned.

 

“I appreciate the thought, but what if it’s a poisonous plant…”

 

Wait, poisonous plant?

 

There was similar content in the original story. It was a poisonous plant called ‘Tentationem’ that had enchanted Yuanna and the Male Leads.

 

In the original story too, Archbishop Luzef had picked this flower near the cabin and given it to Yuanna as a gift, which started all the incidents.

 

Those high-rated intimate scenes had begun precisely because they were bewitched by this flower’s poison.

 

When my thoughts reached that point, I was so startled that I dropped the flower on the floor.

 

They say it’s darkest under the lamp – to think this flower was growing right in front of the cabin.

 

I thought we could hold out in the cabin if we just dealt with the monster corpses somehow. But now it was certain that the cabin was no longer safe either.

 

‘Right, it was ominous from the moment the spider from the second floor evolved.’

 

It seemed we’d need to prepare to leave the cabin immediately when our companions arrived.

 

While thinking such thoughts and staring at the fallen flower, I raised my head to see Archbishop Luzef with a hurt expression.

 

I panicked and quickly made an excuse.

 

“My hand slipped, I’m sorry. But this flower seems to be a poisonous plant…”

 

“It’s fine. I understand Young Lady’s feelings well.”

 

Archbishop Luzef frowned with a pained expression and rubbed his face with his hands.

 

The problem was that yellow flower stamen was stuck to his hands.

 

I stared blankly at the vertical streaks of yellow pollen left on his face.

 

Damn it, according to the original story, Yuanna should have received this flower, so why me…! Of course, the content has already diverged from the original, but still, why me of all people…!

 

“Young Lady, the meat seems to be burning.”

 

Prince of Asdal, who seemed uninterested in anything but food regardless of what we were doing, urged me to come check because the meat was burning.

 

“I don’t think that’s what’s important right now.”

 

“How is this not important. The meat is burning.”

 

Why is he so obsessed with meat. I looked back at him irritably.

 

“Then could Your Highness please remove the skewer from the fire yourself?”

 

“Why should I do that. Young Lady should come and…”

 

Prince of Asdal couldn’t finish his sentence.

 

He was staring over my shoulder with wide eyes. With an extremely ominous look.

 

Behind me, I could hear Archbishop Luzef’s groaning.

 

“Lady Flone. Haah….”

 

It was a strange voice that seemed both filled with pain and soaked in ecstasy, but in any case, he seemed to be in great distress.

 

Turning around with anxiety, I saw Luzef breathing heavily with his face flushed red.

 

He sat down slowly and began to undo the top button of his bishop robes.

 

“A-Archbishop. No matter how hot it is, please don’t take off your clothes.”

 

At my words, he looked up at me with a pitiful expression. Tears welled up in his eyes as he gazed at me pleadingly—it was truly an indescribable sight.

 

“It’s just that my body is so hot I can’t bear it.”

 

I hurriedly picked up the flower that had fallen on the floor, opened the cabin door, and threw it outside.

 

Then I soaked a cloth with water and scrubbed the floor where the yellow pollen had fallen.

 

“The Bishop has finally lost his mind.”

 

Asdal observed Luzef with an incredulous expression. Luzef seemed to have already undone half the buttons on his upper garment.

 

“That’s not it—I think the flower the Archbishop brought is a poisonous plant. The pollen seems to contain components that excite people.”

 

“Wait, what did you just say…?”

 

Luzef had now completely removed his upper garment.

 

Though not quite like Kaiden or Enoch, his smoothly sculpted abs were revealed.

 

Seeing his curved and firm upper body with pure white, smooth skin, I panicked and hurriedly tapped Asdal’s shoulder.

 

“Y-Your Highness. Please try to stop the Archbishop quickly.”

 

“The cabin seems too hot.”

 

Luzef knelt on the floor, tears streaming down his innocent face as he spoke.

 

Why is Luzef a cleric?

 

Watching him quietly like this made me wonder. This is clearly a waste of human resources.

 

“Young Lady, couldn’t you help me?”

 

Even though Asdal is here, he specifically calls for me to help him.

 

No matter how I think about it, this seems to be exactly that event that should have happened to Yuanna in the original story.

 

“Could you hold the Archbishop? I’ll tie him up.”

 

At my words, Asdal nodded with an annoyed expression and pulled Luzef back from behind to restrain him.

 

I quickly brought the string that Kaiden had made.

 

“Young Lady, my body is too hot. Not this kind of help. Something else, please something else….”

 

Luzef shook his head pleadingly. I firmly shook my head and tied his hands.

 

“No. You need this kind of help.”

 

“Young Lady….”

 

Dew-like tears flowed down Luzef’s red cheeks.

 

“It must be the Young Lady. Please….”

 

I don’t know what he’s talking about, but his crying face is so pitiful and beautiful that I just want to give him what he wants.

 

Having such thoughts, I was startled and shook my head.

 

Asdal flinched while binding Luzef’s wrists more tightly, then turned to look at me. He stared at me with confused eyes.

 

“Young Lady, are you alright?”

 

Asdal asked me. Perhaps the pollen transferred from Luzef, as I feel heat rising in my body. Damn it.

 

Once I recognized the fact that heat was rising, my body instantly became as hot as if a fireball had been attached to it.

 

“Your Highness Asdal. Please, please tie me up….”

 

Just like Luzef had done, I too lost strength in my legs and collapsed to the ground.

 

“Are you alright? Are you perhaps excited as well, Young Lady?”

 

Even while questioning me, Asdal diligently tied Luzef to the wooden post.

 

“It’s not excitement, could you please just say it hurts…?”

 

I gripped the neckline of my dress and let out hot breaths. If this had been the original Yuanna, she would have here….

 

I erased all the lewd thoughts that came to mind.

 

This is insane.

 

I can’t succumb to mere poisonous plants like this.

 

I am strong. I must endure.

 

But my body was unbearably itchy. An intense desire to touch someone’s body was boiling up. Reason and instinct clashed sharply in my head.

 

‘Wouldn’t it be okay for just a moment? Luzef looked like he was having a hard time too, so maybe I could help….’

 

Shocked by the thought that suddenly arose, I slapped my cheek hard. Asdal looked startled.

 

“Please tie me up.”

 

“Tie you up? How could I do such a thing to a Lady….”

 

Asdal showed an unusually flustered expression.

 

It was the first time I’d seen him look so troubled. But I didn’t have the luxury to worry about his feelings right now.

 

“I feel so disgusting. Hurry.”

 

“Ha. What kind of situation is this even….”

 

Listening to Asdal’s troubled muttering, I bent my waist and buried my head on the floor. My body was hot and itchy at the same time. Unbearably so.

 

“Please tie me up, please.”

 

I grabbed Asdal’s sleeve tightly and pleaded with him, just like Luzef had done moments before. Tears streamed down because I was in such agony.

 

“I think my body is sick. At this rate, I don’t know what strange things I might do.”

 

“How could I do such a thing to a Lady.”

 

He repeated again how he couldn’t do such a thing to a Lady.

 

Now he’s suddenly being polite. At the same time, memories flashed by like a revolving lantern, and curses naturally burst out of me.

 

“Damn it, you made me do all the rough work like catching fish, and now you’re calling me a Lady? I did all the game processing too, you know? Is that consideration for a Lady? Shit. Yeah, life is originally this fucking unfair. My damn life!”

 

My unfiltered cursing was limited to when I was in front of Kaiden.

 

I had never let out raw curses in front of Asdal before, but now my mind was so hazy that I couldn’t even properly recognize that.

 

This is why you need to maintain proper language habits normally. So they don’t slip out unconsciously.

 

“I’m, I’m sorry.”

 

Asdal looked truly troubled and apologized. I don’t understand why a man who was even married acts so helplessly like this.

 

I crossed both my wrists and held them out to him, meaning to tie me up quickly.

 

“Hurry.”

 

While Asdal continued to hesitate, my body became even hotter than before. It felt like my brain was melting and flowing down.

 

I grabbed Asdal’s wrist.

 

“I told you, I don’t know what I might do. Tie me up quickly.”

 

Finally, I grabbed Asdal’s collar with my other hand.

 

In fact, even now I wasn’t properly aware of what I was doing.

 

I just wanted to somehow stop this painfully hot heat.

 

Asdal’s bright red face came into my view. I don’t know why his face is red. Could he also be infected with Tentationem?

 

I slowly leaned my face toward him while gripping his collar.

 

And then,

 

“I’ll tie it.”

 

A familiar voice interjected between Asdal and me.

 

Jet-black hair was the first thing that caught my eye. Soon, my face was reflected in those enchantingly beautiful golden eyes.

 

Enoch had awakened.

 

“Margaret.”

 

My name was carried in that deep voice that resonated from his throat.

 

I opened my eyes drowsily and looked at his face. Of course, I still wasn’t in a state where I could think normally.

 

“Move aside. I feel like I’m going to die right now.”

 

My tongue was completely twisted, and it was difficult to control my body as if I were completely drunk. My body went limp and I released my grip on Asdal’s collar.

 

Asdal’s face, which seemed disappointed, moved away and the hard wooden floor came into view.

 

I was about to plant my head on the floor when thick arms wrapped around my waist and lifted me up.

 

“…Huh?”

 

It seemed Enoch had picked me up in his arms.
