Chapter 78

“It smells good.”

Ruzef returned with a fresh expression on his face.

“What is that?”

I looked at the bright red flowers in his hand and was puzzled.

Then, Ruzef showed me a bouquet of flowers in his hand and walked over.

“Oh, isn’t it pretty? It was right in front of the cabin, but I didn’t know until now since the flowers just bloomed.”

The bright red petals are wide and have few wrinkles. I think it looks a bit like a poppy.

“I want to present it to you, Lady.”

Ruzef presented me with a bouquet of flowers.

“It’s my first time receiving a flower gift.” I received it with a puzzled face and soon frowned. “I appreciate your sincerity, but what if this is a poisonous weed……”

Wait, poisonous weed?

There is similar content in the original work. It was a poisonous weed called ‘Tentathionem’ that attracted the male leads towards Yuanna.

In the original work, the whole incident began when Ruzef picked up those flowers near the cabin and presented them to Yuanna.

This is because high-level events and such things began when they were dazzled by the poison of this flower.

I was so shocked that I dropped the flowers on the floor.

It is dark under the oil lamp[1]. This flower was growing right in front of the cabin.

I thought I would be able to survive in the cabin if only the monster corpses were dealt with. It was clear that the cabin was no longer safe.

‘Yeah, it’s been ominous since an evolved spider monster appeared on the second floor.’

I think we should prepare to leave the cabin immediately when the excursion members return.

With that in mind, I looked down at the fallen flowers, and when I looked up, I saw Ruzef put on a hurt expression.

Flustered, I quickly came up with an excuse.

“My hand slipped, I’m sorry. But I think this flower is poisonous……”

“It’s okay. I understand how you feel.”

Ruzef frowned with a troubled look and rubbed his face with his hands.

The problem was that he had yellow pollen on his hands.

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

Damn, according to the original work, Yuanna should have received this flower, but why did I…..! Of course, the original and the contents have already changed, but why am I…..!

“Lady, I think the meat is burning”

Arthdal, who doesn’t seem interested in anything but food, asked me to come and see because the meat is burning.

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

“Why isn’t this important? The meat is burning.”

Why are you so obsessed with meat? I turned and glared at him in annoyance.

“Then why don’t you take the skewers out of the fire yourself?”

“Why me? You can……”

Arthdal could not finish his words.

He looked over my shoulder with his eyes wide open.

A moan could be heard behind my back.

“Lady Margaret….., haa……”

It was a strange voice that seemed to be filled with pain and ecstasy, but anyway, it sounded very painful.

When I turned my back anxiously, I saw Ruzef exhaling with a reddened face.

Sitting down, he slowly unbuttoned the top of his bishop’s uniform.

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

At my words, he looked up at me with a pathetic face. His tears welled up as he looked at me as if begging, it was truly an indescribable sight.

“It’s so hot, I can’t stand it.”

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

Then, I wet the cloth with water and rubbed the floor where the yellow pollen fell.

“The Archbishop seems to have gone crazy at last.”

Arthdal ​​looked at Ruzef with a shocked face. It seems that Ruzef has already unbuttoned half of his shirt.

“I think the flowers the Archbishop brought are poisonous weeds. It seems the pollen contains substances that excite people.”

“Wait, what are you saying…..?”

Ruzef is now completely undressed.

He was not quite as good as Kayden’s or Enoch’s, but his smooth, well-defined abs were exposed. Seeing the white, fine skin and a curvy, hard upper body, I panicked and patted Arthdal on the shoulder hastily.

“Hey, stop the Archbishop quickly.”

“I think the cabin is too hot,” said Ruzef.

Ruzef sat on his knees on the floor with an innocent face.

Why is Ruzef a priest? Looking at his figure made me wonder. This is obviously a waste of manpower.

“Lady, can you help me?”

Arthdal asked me to help him.

No matter how much I think about it, I think this is the high-level event that should happen to Yuanna in the original work.

“Can you hold him? I will tie him up.”

At my words, Arthdal nodded and grabbed Ruzef from behind.

I quickly brought over some of the string that Kayden had made.

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

Ruzef shook his head and begged. I shook my head firmly and tied his hands.

“No, you need this kind of help.”

“Lady……”

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

“It has to be you, Lady. Please……”

I don’t know what the hell he’s talking about, but really, his crying face is so sad and pretty that I just want to listen to what he wants.

Realizing what I was thinking, I shook my head in surprise.

Arthdal tied Ruzef’s wrists tighter, then flinched and looked at me, frowning.

“Lady, are you okay?”

He looked over at me like crazy. Maybe it was because of Ruzef that the pollen was transmitted, and that seemed to have a slight effect on me as well.

Dammit. I feel the heat rising in my body.

As soon as I realized that my fever was rising, my body became hot as if on fire.

“Damn it. P-please, tie me up……”

As Ruzef did, I also lost strength in my legs and fell to the floor.

Arthdal, who was tying Ruzef to a wooden pole, looked at me with a puzzled face.

He found me sitting on the floor late and rushed to me.

“What, why? Are you excited too?”

“C-can’t you just say I’m in pain, not excited…..?”

I grabbed the front of my dress and let out a hot breath. Maybe if it was Yuanna in the original work, now……

I erased all lewd thoughts that came to my mind. Crazy. I can’t lose to those poisonous weeds.

I am strong. I have to endure it.

But it was so tickling that my body couldn’t stand it. A strong desire to touch someone’s body boiled over. In my head, reason and instinct were sharply opposed.

‘Isn’t it okay for a moment? Ruzef looks in pain too, so let me help……’

I slapped my cheek hard, shocked at my moment’s thought. Arthdal ​​looked at me in astonishment.

“Please tie me up.”

“Lady, watch your words……”

Arthdal looked extremely bewildered.

It was the first time he was so embarrassed. But there was no time to worry about his mood now.

“I feel so dirty. Hurry up!”

“Sigh. What the hell is going on here……”

I bent over and put my head on the floor. My body feels hot and itchy at the same time. I am out of patience.

“Please tie me up, please.”

I gripped Arthdal’s sleeve in front of me, not knowing what to do, and begged. Just like Ruzef did a while ago. I was in so much pain that tears flowed down my cheeks.

“I feel sick. At this rate, I don’t know what I’m going to do.”

“How can I do that to a Lady?”

Out of the blue, he was polite to me. At the same time, the memories with him from a moment ago flashed through my head along with the cursed words that came out of my mouth.

“You bxstard! You made me do all the hard work. A Lady you say? Does a Lady catch fish? I also skinned the prey. Do you think that’s what a Lady does? Yeah, life is always so fuxxing unfair. My life is like XX!”

Only in front of Kayden did I spit out such curse words without adding or subtracting.

I had never cursed in front of Arthdal, but now I’m so dizzy that I can’t even think properly.

That’s why it’s important to make good language habits on a daily basis. To keep it from flowing out unconsciously.

“I-I’m sorry.”

Arthdal ​​made a really troubled face and apologized. No, I don’t know why a once-married man is acting like Sukmaek[2].

[2] A person who cannot discern things and does not know the affairs of the world well.

I put my wrists on top of each other and reached out to him to tie them up quickly.

“Hurry up.”

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

I grabbed Arthdal’s wrist.

“I told you, I don’t know what I’m going to do. Hurry up.”

I grabbed Arthdal’s neck with my other hand.

In fact, even now, I was not fully aware of what I was doing.

I just wanted to stop this painful heat somehow.

Arthdal’s bright red face came into view. I don’t know why his face is red. Was he also infected with Tentathionem?

I leaned my face towards him slowly, holding his collar.

And then,

“I’ll tie you up.”

Another familiar voice intervened between Arthdal ​​and me.

Black hair caught my eye first, and then my eyes met beautiful golden eyes.

Enoch woke up.

“Margaret.”

A low voice as if echoing in the cave called my name.

I opened my eyes hazy and looked at his face. Of course, I was still not in a state where I could think normally.

“Get out of my way. I feel like I’m going to die.”

My tongue was twisted, and it was hard to control myself as if I was drunk. I slowly lost strength in my body and let go of Arthdal’s collar.

Arthdal’s sad-looking face moved away, and I could see the hard wooden floor in my sight.

I almost banged my head on the floor, but thick arms wrapped around my waist and immediately lifted me up.

“……oh?”

It seemed that Enoch was holding me.
