"......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?"
