Were there more people? Did they come before us? Or afterward? Were they also citizens of the empire?
There were a lot of things I wanted to ask, but I couldn’t. I don’t know how miserable Jenas must have been when he said that the people he was with had died.
I paused for a moment.
But before I could even offer my condolences, Jenas spoke first. “I don’t even know how much time has passed.”
“Ah……”
“I counted the days at first, but I missed it at some point.” Jenas, still holding the coconuts in his arms, answered in a very calm tone.
“I see.”
Then, even if I asked him when he woke up, it would be difficult to compare it accurately to the date we woke up.
“Were you here alone, too?”
“I had a group. When we opened our eyes, we were suddenly on this island. I was swept away by the river and separated from them.”
“What’s your name, sister?”
“Oh, I’m late in introducing myself, aren’t I? I am Margaret Rose Floné, you can call me Margaret. I am the Duke of Floné’s daughter from the Langridge Empire.”
“Duke’s daughter……”
Jenas looked at me with a curious look. Is this your first time seeing a noble? I was taken aback by Jenas’ stinging gaze.
‘You’d be stunned to see the Langridge Kingdom’s Crown Prince and Hestia Kingdom’s Crown Prince.’
With that thought in mind, I thought of my group for a moment.
‘Is everyone okay? I hope you’re all safe.’
I think this island is quite big. What if our paths diverged while trying to meet? Would it be better to go near the suspension bridge?
I let out a sigh. I can’t believe I’m worried about other people at a time when I don’t know what’s going to happen to me.
From what he looks, Jenas doesn’t seem to have any special weapons. First, I need to figure out the situation in a safe place, and then think about how to find Enoch and Kayden.
“Sister, there is a cabin where I used to live, would you like to go?”
“Is there a cabin here?”
“Yes.” Jenas nodded his head vigorously.
I thought the cabin was only on the South Island where we used to live.
‘Can I trust him?’
But if this little boy has anything to do with the secret of this island, I have to check what it is.
Besides, it’s dangerous anywhere after the sun goes down.
“You are hurt, sister. I can heal you,” the boy added, pointing to my wound. “There is medicine in the cabin.”
“Medicine? Really? Are you sure there is medicine to heal these kinds of wounds?”
He quietly nodded at my question. He doesn’t seem to have any intention of making any additional statements.
I pondered for a long time and finally made a decision. “……yes, let’s go.”
If my wound is left as it is and an infection occurs, it will be a big problem.
You can’t judge by appearances alone, but I don’t think this little boy is the one who kidnapped us all. Of course, I’ll have to stay on my toes.
I stared at my stuff laid out on the gravel to dry. Jenas, who followed my gaze exclaimed, “There are a lot of cool things.”
“The clothes you’re wearing are also unique.”
At my words, Jenas lowered his head and blankly scanned his clothes.
“I found it in the cabin. It’s comfortable.”
It seems that Jenas’ cabin had modern stuff too, just as I picked up my backpack and sneakers from the South Island’s cabin.
“There are other clothes too.”
Jenas stared at my clothes and said so. I was embarrassed for a moment.
The dress that bares my calves looks so miserable. The sleeves and the ribbon around the neck are messy too. In addition, it’s wet and damp, and although there’s no smell, it’s very unpleasant.
“Let’s change yours too, sister,” said Jenas, pointing to my ragged dress.
“Is the cabin near here?”
“Just a minute from here.”
At Jenas’ words, I bowed my back to pick up my crossbody bag, and then I screamed in pain.
“Huh, ugh.”
Jenas looked at me and sighed, put my stuff in my crossbody bag for me, and handed it to me.
“……thank you.”
“No problem. Shall we go?”
I quietly followed Jenas. I tried to figure out the location by looking around, but I’m not sure if just looking at it is enough.
‘Because the forest looks similar.’
I think I should go up to the high mountain as soon as the sun rises tomorrow and check the location again. If my flare gun was usable, I would have fired a flare into the sky to announce my location, but it’s a shame it got wet.
‘How can I tell them my location?’
While thinking about that, I looked at the back of Jenas’ head again.
“How did you survive? It’s very dangerous here. There are even monsters too.”
At my question, Jenas glanced back at me and looked up at the sky with a thoughtful face.
“I’m good at running away or hiding,” he replied, scratching his temple.
“So am I.”
“And I don’t have to look for food.”
“Huh? Why? Is there a lot of food in the cabin?”
I asked him with a little hope. However, the answer I heard was very unexpected.
“I am a wizard. I can live without eating.”
That’s why you’re wearing a wizard’s robe over a hoodie.
But what’s even more questionable than that are the words Jenas added after confessing that he was a wizard.
“How can people live without eating? Are all wizards like that? The wizard I know isn’t like that.”
“I changed my constitution. No one else can do it,” he answered very confidently and firmly.
As I was walking with high vigilance, I asked him nervously, “Is that possible……? I don’t think it has anything to do with your constitution. The wizard I know couldn’t stand hunger, to the point where he wanted to die. Ah, he’s also one of the best wizards on the continent.”
Jenas did not answer my question. And it wasn’t until long afterward that he opened his mouth.
“Sister, I am a genius.”
Oh, you have more confidence than I thought.
“He is a genius too,” I said, defending Kayden.
Kayden is the youngest archwizard and the youngest Magic Tower lord. Even though his personality is a little weird, he is definitely a genius.
“You said he can’t even change his body constitution. Then he is not a genius.”
Oh, yes. That’s right, because Kayden can’t do what this little boy can do.
“Is that so……? But you can’t use magic on this island.”
“It doesn’t matter because I changed my constitution when I was still in the kingdom.”
“Really?”
I don’t know anything about magic, so I don’t know whether what he said is true or not. I’ll have to ask Kayden about this later.
“By the way, are you from the kingdom? The Hestia Kingdom?”
“No, Ingram.”
“……huh?”
I was taken aback by Jenas’ words and paused for a moment, then I stopped walking and grabbed his shoulder. Thanks to that, I feel a lot of pain in my stomach, but that’s not what matters now.
“Wait, what? The Ingram Kingdom?”
Jenas tilted his head with a puzzled face.
“Why?”
“The Ingram dynasty perished a thousand years ago. It has been a long time since the Ingram Kingdom was founded as the Langridge Empire.”
“Ah……”
Jenas nodded his head calmly. There was no sign of agitation on his face.
“Maybe……”
“It’s already been a thousand years.”
I was speechless and just stared at the pretty boy in front of me.
Complex thoughts come rushing in like waves. He has lived for a thousand years? Could he really be the one who kidnapped us? He also said that he was a wizard. A genius wizard.
Jenas stared at me quietly and shrugged his shoulders as if it were nothing.
“Being here dulls your sense of time.”
“Isn’t a thousand years too long to say that your sense of time is dull? Ah!”
I raised my voice in shock, and an excruciating pain came, maybe my wound opened. Damn, I guess I have to treat my wound quickly.
“Are you okay?”
Jenas asked me in an indifferent voice. I also nodded insincerely, but I’m not really okay.
My stomach hurts so much, I am even psychologically traumatized.
Then I remembered the absurd hypothesis I had made just before meeting Jenas: a wandering ghost.
A wandering ghost does not realize that he is dead and lives in the same place constantly and endlessly.
“No way……”
I tore my hair out in shock.
It’s ridiculous that I died from being hit in the head by a signboard, but did I die once more as Margaret? When?
“I’m dead……”
I know it’s a ridiculous thought, but it’s hard to deduce any possibility other than that.
When I was in despair for a long time, Jenas spoke to me in a calm voice. “What are you talking about? You are not dead, sister.”
Still grabbing my hair, I slowly raised my head. Jenas crossed his arms and looked at me with pitying eyes.
“I’m not dead either.”
“You said you’ve lived here for a thousand years.”
“That’s true, but I am not dead.”
“How can you be so sure of that?”
“Because I’ve never died.”
Saying so confidently, Jenas looked at me and continued, “You don’t remember how you died, do you? It’s because you are not dead.”
“A wandering ghost does not remember that he is dead.”
“Wandering…… what?” Jenas asked, narrowing his brow with a look of incomprehension.
I let out a sigh and asked him, “If you’re not dead, you just couldn’t escape then?”
Jenas, who looked away for a moment as if thinking about something, nodded slowly.
“Yeah, well, right.”
“What, why are you answering in a vague way?”
Despite my question, Jenas just looked at me blankly without answering. He didn’t seem willing to answer any further.
I got up with a confused face and suddenly thought about his age.
“Hold up…… that means you’re over a thousand years old.”
