Yuanna and Diego managed to come to their senses.

But the problem was the red flower’s terrifying ability to reproduce.

The red flowers followed behind them, increasing in number like footprints in the snow.

“It’s kind of scary.”

Yuanna turned to look at the red flower with a frightened face.

“Don’t speak and cover your nose.”

At Kayden’s words, she nodded her head and immediately covered her nose tightly.

But then a strange thing happened.

The group was moving with Kayden in front then Yuanna and Diego in the back, but suddenly, flowers blooming at a frightening speed passed Diego and followed up to Yuanna’s ankle.

The root wrapped around Yuanna’s ankle, and soon it grew up to a hardy stem, and a red flower bloomed.

“Hey! What’s this! Ouch!”

“Ho- hold still for a moment!”

Diego tried to remove the flower that wrapped around Yuanna’s ankle, accidentally smelled it, and turned red again.

Kayden grabbed Yuanna’s ankle and barely pulled the flower away, but Yuanna was already as red as Diego.

“XX, what the hell is this!”

Surprisingly, the red flowers stopped growing as soon as Yuanna and Diego were exposed to the poison.

As if someone was watching them and manipulating the situation.

Besides, this time was a little different from last night.

Diego had his eyes unfocused and Yuanna was in a state of panic.

First of all, Kayden lifted Diego and Yuanna onto each of his shoulders and left the flower garden. Again, the red flowers did not follow as if they had done their job.

“Haa. Aaahhh.”

Yuanna, who was hanging upside down on Kayden’s right shoulder, grabbed her hair violently and let out a strange moan.

“What, why? Be patient.”

Kayden hastily ran. He was a little worried because there was no reaction from Diego. And finally, a huge river appeared before his eyes.

Kayden thought that no matter how fast the red flowers grew, they wouldn’t follow them all the way to this gravel field.

Kayden put the two of them down on the gravel first.

Diego was better than expected, perhaps because he smelled relatively little pollen. His common sense still remained. As soon as he came down to the gravel, he grabbed Kayden’s wrist.

“I think I have to touch people to breathe easier.”

Kayden understood what Diego was saying, but he didn’t want to touch him, so he withdrew his hand.

But Diego grabbed his wrist again and shook his head with pathetic eyes.

“Please…… Lord. Please save me.”

“I’m going crazy.”

Kayden looked down at Diego with a displeased face and turned to look at Yuanna. Her condition looked rather serious.

“Hey, Saintess. Are you okay?”

Kayden eventually gave Diego one arm and crouched down in front of Yuanna, who was slumping on the gravel.

Then, as if she had been waiting, she reached out her hand impatiently to touch Kayden’s cheek.

Soon she gently stroked his cheek as if she was treating her long-lost lover. She looked pathetic.

“……don’t……”

She mumbled something. Kayden quickly brushed her hand away from his face, narrowing his brows.

“What?”

“……don’t……don’t. Don’t!!”

“What the fuxk! You startled me!”

“Saintess.”

Diego, who was also startled, let go of Kayden’s hand and approached Yuanna, and grabbed her by the shoulder.

“Saintess! Calm down!”

“Aaaaah!!”

Yuanna covered her ears and screamed. Then Diego stepped back with a bewildered look on his face.

“Don’t. Don’t die. I don’t want to live alone……”

She burst into tears and shouted. Even Kayden looked at her blankly in bewilderment.

Yuanna seemed to be hallucinating. Maybe the flower touched her deep trauma.

“Oh, maybe that flower is…… Tentathionem?”

At Kayden’s murmuring, Diego turned to him questioningly.

“What is a Tentathionem? Do you know that flower? Please do something for the Saintess!”

“It’s a flower developed by the Rohde family. It’s hard to say now that all the flowers are there, but looking at the symptoms, it seems to be true, but it’s a flower that can’t bloom naturally……”

“Is there a cure?!”

At Diego’s question, Kayden shook his head.

“To make an antidote, you need equipment. You can’t make it here. If you make physical contact, the symptoms will go away after a while.”

As soon as Kayden finished explaining, Diego grabbed Yuanna’s hand, but he soon looked up at Kayden with a tearful face.

“What, why?”

As Kayden asked with his arms crossed, Diego sighed and stood up.

“It didn’t seem to work because I was also poisoned. When I held your hand, my head felt clear, but I didn’t feel that way at all when I touched the Saintess.”

As Diego said, Yuanna was still crying and suffering.

Kayden bit his lower lip for a moment and chewed it. He knew it was a matter of giving up his body, but his heart didn’t agree.

“Lord.”

Diego sighed and knelt down in front of him and lowered his head.

“Please, please, hold our hand.”

If you close your eyes and give yourself to them, the future will be easier. So that you have something to tell Margaret.

After thinking for a while, Kayden finally decided to lend his hands to them.

***

I dipped the whetstone into the water and looked out of the cabin through the open door.

“It’s been a long time since they were supposed to be back, right? What happened? Shouldn’t we be going?”

I asked Enoch, who was sitting quietly next to me.

Yuanna and the others, who said they would be back in five days at the latest, had not returned after a week.

“They are very late.”

“Don’t worry. Not to mention Sir Diego’s skills, Lord Kayden also has formidable strength.” Enoch replied in an insincere tone and stroked my head.

Well, Yuanna isn’t normal either. I agreed with Enoch’s advice, and I took out a whetstone dipped in water and set it down on the floor.

I laid a cloth on the floor, fixed the whetstone so that it wouldn’t move, and reached out to Enoch.

“Give me your sword,” I said looking at the sword hanging from Enoch’s waist. While he tilted her head with a puzzled face, he meekly handed his sword to me.

After spraying water once more on the whetstone, I sharpened the blade while pressing it with my left hand and keeping the angle of the blade constant with my right hand.

At that time, Ruzef and Arthdal, who returned after scouting outside the hut, gathered around me in amazement.

“Oh my God, Young Lady Floné can work at the blacksmith after she gets off the island.”

Here we go again.

Arthdal sat propping his chin while watching what I was doing and teasing me.

“How rude of you to tell a noble lady to work at a blacksmith.”

Ruzef rebuked him. Then Arthdal ​​pointed at me with a puzzled face.

“You can’t even joke? Blacksmithing is also a noble thing to do for the country.”

It was sophistry, but as if there was nothing more to say, Ruzef kept his mouth shut and just stared at me. Arthdal shook his head.

“Anyway, this guy and that guy are all blinded by Young Lady Floné.”

“Watch your mouth.”

Enoch’s voice was terribly low. It means he is very angry.

“That’s right. I’m holding a sword right now. You shouldn’t annoy people with a sword. Watch your mouth, Crown Prince.”

I sharpened the blade and raised the sword towards Arthdal.

Arthdal, who stepped back with his hands behind his back, said with a smile, “Young Lady Floné, don’t get me wrong. It was definitely a compliment.”

“I know it’s not a compliment.”

“As expected, you’re not on my side.”

As I spoke calmly, Arthdal pretended to wipe away the tears that weren’t flowing. Aren’t you tired of fighting and then lowering your tail[1] all the time?

[1] Pretending to be sad.

Anyway, after sharpening Enoch’s dull blade, I also sharpened the wooden knife and stone knife and set them aside.

***

It was around the time the sun rose above their heads that Yuanna and Diego woke up.

On a hot midday afternoon, Diego, who was the first to wake up, threw Kayden’s arm away and jumped up from his seat.

“You knelt down and begged me, and now you’ve forgotten the grace I gave you?”

When Kayden made a sarcastic remark with a mocking expression, Diego calmly replied, straightening his clothes.

“Thank you for holding my hand.”

It was a dry, stiff thank you with a completely ungrateful face.

And at that moment, Yuanna who had just come to her senses hastily let go of Kayden’s hand, was shocked.

“These people……”

Kayden calmed the boiling anger, and this time looked at Yuanna.

She was looking around her with her face, not knowing how this had happened.

She was looking around with a puzzled face.

“What’s happening now?”

“Don’t you remember?”

Diego walked up to her and looked at her complexion. Kayden rubbed his brow with a tired face.

After hearing Diego’s explanation of the situation, Yuanna’s face turned white.

“I, did I say something strange?”
