Chapter 85
“How is he?”
Kaiden approached and asked me.
“Not very good. I think I need to treat him and watch his progress. I need to disinfect him well. There are so many places he’s hurt that there’s too much chance of infection.”
I took a deep breath and took one last look at Enoch’s complexion. Everyone gathered around me and Enoch.
“Was that a medicine kit?”
Yuanna examined the first aid kit Luzef had brought with a look of wonder. Asdal crossed his arms and still gave me a distrustful look.
“Lady Flone is going to treat him? I know you’re good at everything, Lady Flone. But this is a different matter. If Banhwang gets hurt, are you going to take responsibility?”
Asdal subtly took care of Enoch while ignoring him. But that doesn’t mean I can stand him bothering me.
I gave Asdal a fierce look. He flinched, startled when our eyes met.
Yuanna looked back and forth between us and scolded Asdal.
“You’re not going to be any help anyway, so Lady Flone is better than you, Your Highness, who does nothing.”
Then she gestured to Asdal, as if telling him to move. Asdal, who had already been pushed back by me, was pushed back by Yuanna and stood far away with a somewhat pathetic face.
“Please, Your Highness, just keep your mouth shut. That’s how you help.”
Kaiden, who was sitting next to me, clicked his tongue at Asdal.
“Hey, Lord, that’s harsh.”
“It seems like Lord is saying the right thing for once.”
Unexpectedly, Luzef stood up for Kaiden in response to Asdal’s rebuttal. Then Asdal turned to Luzef with a betrayed look.
“Bishop, even you…….”
“What’s important now is treatment. Lady Flone is the only one among us who can use these medicines.”
Luzef showed the audacity to cut off Asdal’s words one after another. Kaiden, who had been quietly watching Luzef, smiled with an amused face and provoked Luzef.
“Hey, lackey. Just be quiet.”
“What? I was just taking your side, you dirty Wizard……!”
Luzef, who had been defending Kaiden until just now, burst into anger.
“You arrogant bastards are quite a sight together.”
Asdal shook his head, looking at Luzef and Kaiden with the face of a grumpy old manager.
It’s a complete mess.
“Can you all please be quiet and move away? Enoch is a patient right now, so he needs to be treated and rest. He needs stability.”
At my words, the three men quietly shut their mouths for a moment. Diego and Yuanna had been sitting quietly from the beginning, watching what I was doing, so there was nothing to point out.
I sighed and looked at Enoch’s uniform, which was lying down. It seemed he hadn’t worn his jacket in the first place, as he was only wearing a shirt as his top, and the shirt was torn to shreds.
“Enoch, I need to treat your wounds, so I’m going to take this shirt off.”
At my words, Enoch frowned slightly and slowly nodded.
I gestured to Kaiden, who was sitting next to me. Then Kaiden helped me hold Enoch’s wound and took off Enoch’s shirt, trying not to open the wound as much as possible.
“Ugh.”
Enoch let out another painful groan. It seemed that the shirt that had been stuck to the wound had left a stinging pain as it fell off.
The pain seemed to be transmitted to me, so I frowned and looked at Enoch’s expression.
Watching him take a small deep breath, I completely took off his shirt and examined his wound in detail. His usually admirable, firm abs were obscured by the serious wound and didn’t even catch my eye.
“Oh my, it’s really serious.”
Yuanna muttered, covering her mouth with both hands. As she said, the wound was really deep.
I checked the number of remaining disinfectants. And I also checked the condition of the ointment to apply to the minor wounds. Then, I soaked a cloth in the water that Luzef had brought and wiped away the blood and dirt from the wound.
“Put this in Enoch’s mouth. It’s going to hurt.”
I rolled up a piece of dress fabric from the medicine kit and handed it to Luzef, who was sitting on the other side. Luzef carefully put the cloth in Enoch’s mouth.
I pressed the disinfected cloth against the wound to stop the bleeding from the area where blood was still seeping out.
Enoch’s eyebrows were furrowed. I felt like I was the one in pain, so I frowned without realizing it and looked at Enoch’s expression.
After a while, it seemed that the bleeding had stopped to some extent, so I prepared the disinfectant.
“Enoch, it’s going to hurt.”
At my words, Enoch nodded as if he was okay. I immediately poured the disinfectant over his wound.
“Ugh! Keuk.”
Enoch let out a groan of pain, but he endured it well.
I checked his complexion, then bandaged the disinfected area and applied ointment to the lightly scratched wounds.
The problem was the large wounds that needed to be stitched. The first aid kit also contained dressing materials needed for suturing.
However, since it had been exposed for a long time in a state of risk of infection, it was not safe to suture it as it was.
“I think we’ll have to wait until the flesh fills in for the large, open wounds.”
I finished cutting the bandage, secured it with a clip, and put the remaining medicines in the first aid kit.
“It’s best to keep dressing it and check for infection. It’s best to let the wound heal naturally.”
Everyone gathered around Enoch and looked at me.
And those eyes were like…….
They were like guardians listening to the doctor’s progress in the emergency room.
I had such an absurd thought and checked Enoch’s complexion. I stroked his hair and added.
“There will be scars and it will take a very long time, but I will nurse you by your side.”
“I will help too. Treatment is my specialty. I have learned all about the types of medicines as Lady Flone taught me.”
Luzef said to me with a calm face.
“Thank you.”
“But this is really amazing. I don’t know what it says at all.”
Yuanna looked through the medicine kit and asked me.
“That’s true. I’ve been to the Eastern Continent, but there’s no language like this.”
Kaiden added, and I was flustered and looked at him. Then I quickly came up with an excuse.
“Oh, that’s……. There’s a minority group called Korean in the Eastern Continent. I don’t think many people know about it.”
Those who heard my words were asking each other where Korea was with puzzled faces.
Once I escape the island, I’m definitely going to be screwed.
Forcibly ignoring their gazes, I put my hand on Enoch’s cheek, who had fallen into a light sleep, and checked his temperature.
The dress pocket wriggled, and Eunji, who had been hiding quietly, quietly poked her head out.
“Eek!”
Luzef was startled and stepped back.
Eunji was also startled by his scream, and spun around in place before climbing back onto my leg.
I gently stroked her body as if to reassure her.
“Lady Flone, is that a Monster?”
Luzef asked me, unable to take his eyes off Eunji with a pale face.
“It looks like an Anaconda Monster…….”
Before I could finish speaking, Diego drew his sword. Kaiden immediately drew his dagger, and Luzef hurriedly ran in front of me and stood as if to protect me.
“What are you doing!”
Luzef shouted with an angry face.
I had seen him get annoyed or irritated a lot, but this was the first time I had seen Luzef burst into anger like this.
“Didn’t you say it was a Monster? It’s dangerous.”
Diego replied, aiming his sword at Eunji without any agitation.
Eunji trembled and climbed up my body, lay down on my shoulder, and hid her face in my hair.
Her body vibrated faintly as she lay trembling on my shoulder. I stroked Eunji’s body and glared at Diego.
“You startled my baby!”
When I raised my voice, a chilling silence suddenly flowed.
The anger that had surged up at the unexpected reaction subsided. Why is everyone looking at me like that?
“What, why?”
I was flustered and asked, looking around, and Diego, who had been aiming his sword at me, lowered his sword with a look of dismay.
Yuanna said to me with a surprised face.
“I, I’ve never seen Lady Flone get so genuinely angry before.”
“I’m jealous of that damn snake for the first time.”
“Didn’t you say it was a Monster? Anyone would think it’s a pet snake.”
Yuanna, Kaiden, and Asdal spoke in succession, and Diego put the finishing touch.
“Please explain what the hell is going on.”
“I was explaining. I don’t think it’s right for Sir Diego, who suddenly drew his sword, to say that.”
I didn’t bother to hide my anger and said to him. That woodcutter didn’t hesitate to aim his sword at me.
“I’m sorry.”
In the end, Diego apologized to me.
I received Diego’s apology with an uncomfortable face and explained what had happened in the meantime.
Of course, I deliberately didn’t tell the story that Kaiden distrusted me.
First, I went out to the cliff with Kaiden and fell after being attacked by a Monster, and then I found an egg in the place where I woke up. The egg that had been following me hatched and Eunji was born.
After explaining the circumstances that Eunji seemed to have imprinted on me, everyone looked at Eunji on my shoulder with a curious face.
“I’ve never seen a Monster imprint on a human before.”
Luzef muttered as if he was amazed. When I looked at him with a puzzled face, he explained to me step by step.
“They usually imprint on higher predators, but Monsters don’t recognize humans as higher predators.”
Ah. When I exclaimed, Kaiden, who had been quietly lost in thought, continued.
“If it’s an Anaconda, it’s already a higher predator itself, so it wouldn’t have been easy to find another imprinting object. If you met you in the meantime, there’s a good chance it would imprint. Of course, on the premise that you have Mana.”
He poked Eunji, who was still hiding her face in my hair, with his finger.
On the premise that I have Mana.
“Lady Flone has a huge amount of Mana.”
At that time, Asdal suddenly pretended to know 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 only need to build up your stamina.’
But even so, Kaiden would have had more Mana than I did, so why did she imprint on me?
And in the first place, you can’t use Mana on this island.
I tilted my head, narrowed my brows, and asked Asdal.
“But how does Your Highness know how much Mana I have?”
He shrugged casually, then tapped his eyelids with his fingers and smiled.
“I have an eye for that.”
