Chapter 90

“It smells good.”

Luzef, who seemed to have soothed his stomach well, returned with a refreshed expression and said that.

“What is that?”

I looked at the red flower in his hand with a puzzled face. Then, Luzef walked over, showing me the bouquet in his hand.

“Ah, isn’t it pretty? It was right in front of the cabin, but it must not have been long since it bloomed, so I didn’t know.”

The bright red petals were wide and had almost no wrinkles, making them look like hard candies. They also looked a bit like poppies.

“I’m going to give it to Lady Flone as a gift.”

Luzef held out the bouquet to me.

“It’s the first time I’ve received a flower gift.”

I took the flowers with a dazed face and soon frowned.

“I appreciate the thought, but what if it’s a poisonous plant…”

Wait, a poisonous plant?

There was a similar story in the original work. It was a poisonous plant called ‘Tentationem’ that had charmed Yuanna and the male leads.

In the original story, all the incidents started when Luzef picked this flower near the cabin and gave it to Yuanna as a gift.

The high-level, suggestive events started because they were all bewitched by the poison of this flower.

As soon as I thought of that, I was startled and dropped the flowers on the floor.

It’s dark under the lamp, and this flower was growing right in front of the cabin.

I thought I could survive in the cabin if I just dealt with the Monster corpses. It was clear that the cabin was no longer safe.

‘Yeah, it’s been ominous since the spider that came out of the second floor evolved.’

I guess I should prepare to leave the cabin as soon as the group arrives.

Thinking that, I looked at the fallen flowers and raised my head, and saw Luzef with a hurt expression.

I was flustered and quickly made an excuse.

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

“It’s alright. I understand Lady Flone’s heart.”

Luzef frowned with a pained expression and rubbed his face.

The problem was that there was yellow pollen on his hand.

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

Damn it, Yuanna was supposed to receive this flower according to the original story, so why me…! Of course, the story has already deviated from the original, but still, why me of all people…!

“Lady Flone, doesn’t it smell like the meat is burning?”

Asdal, who seemed to have no interest in anything but food no matter what we did, urged me to come and see because the meat was burning.

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

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

Why is he so obsessed with meat? I turned to him irritably.

“Then, Your Highness, would you like to take the skewers off the fire yourself?”

“Why would I do that? Lady Flone should come…”

Asdal couldn’t finish his sentence.

He was staring over my shoulder with wide eyes. With such an ominous look.

Behind me, I heard Luzef’s heavy breathing.

“Lady Flone. Haa…”

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

With anxiety, I turned around and saw Luzef with a flushed face, breathing heavily.

He sat down and slowly unbuttoned the top button of his cassock.

“F-Father. Please don’t take off your clothes, no matter how hot it is.”

At my words, he looked up at me with a pitiful face. His eyes were filled with tears as he looked at me pleadingly, and it was truly an indescribable sight.

“It’s, it’s because my body is so hot that 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 soaked a cloth in water and scrubbed the floor where the yellow pollen had fallen.

“The priest seems to have finally gone crazy.”

Asdal observed Luzef with a dumbfounded expression. Luzef seemed to have already unbuttoned half of his top.

“It’s not that, the flower that the priest brought is a poisonous plant. It seems like the pollen has a component that excites people.”

“Wait, what are you saying…?”

Luzef had now completely taken off his top.

Although not as much as Kaiden or Enoch, his smooth, well-built abs were revealed. Seeing his fair and delicate skin and curved, firm upper body, I was flustered and hurriedly tapped Asdal’s shoulder.

“Y-Your Highness. Please stop the priest quickly.”

“The cabin seems to be too hot.”

Luzef knelt on the floor and said with a pure face, tears streaming down his face.

Why is Luzef a priest? I wondered as I quietly watched him. This is a clear waste of talent.

“Lady Flone, won’t you help me?”

Asdal is here, but he specifically asks me to help him.

No matter how I think about it, this seems to be the event that should have happened to Yuanna in the original story.

“Could you hold the priest? I’ll tie him up.”

At my words, Asdal nodded with a bothered expression and pulled Luzef from behind.

I quickly brought the rope that Kaiden had made.

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

Luzef shook his head and pleaded. I shook my head firmly and tied his hands.

“No. You need this kind of help.”

“Lady Flone…”

Tear-like droplets flowed down Luzef’s red cheeks.

“It has to be Lady Flone. Please…”

I don’t know what he’s talking about, but his crying face is so pitiful and pretty that I just want to grant him what he wants.

Thinking that, I was startled and shook my head.

Asdal, who was tying Luzef’s wrists tighter, flinched and turned to look at me. He frowned and looked at me as if he couldn’t understand.

“Lady Flone, are you alright?”

He looked at me like I was crazy. It seemed like the pollen had transferred to me because of Luzef, and it had a slight effect on me too.

Damn it. I feel like my body is heating up.

As soon as I realized that I was getting hot, it felt like a fireball had been attached to my body in an instant.

“Damn it. P-Please tie me up…”

Just like Luzef had done, I lost strength in my legs and sat down.

Asdal, who had been diligently tying Luzef to the tree trunk, turned to look at me with a puzzled face.

He hurriedly ran to me when he belatedly discovered me sitting on the floor.

“What’s wrong, what’s wrong? Is Lady Flone also excited?”

“E-Excited, or could you just say I’m in pain…?”

I grabbed the front of my dress and breathed heavily. Perhaps if I were the Yuanna of the original story, I would be here…

I erased all the lewd thoughts that came to mind. I’m crazy. I can’t succumb to just this kind of poisonous plant.

I am strong. I have to endure.

But my body was unbearably itchy. A strong desire to touch someone’s body was boiling. Reason and instinct were in fierce conflict in my head.

‘Wouldn’t it be okay for a moment, Luzef also looks like he’s having a hard time, so I’ll help…’

I was startled by the thought I had for a moment and slapped my cheek hard. Asdal looked at me in surprise.

“Please tie me up.”

“Lady Flone. Choose your words a little…”

Asdal looked unusually flustered.

It was the first time I had seen him so embarrassed. But I didn’t have the time to worry about his feelings right now.

“I feel so dirty. Quickly.”

“Ha. What is this situation…”

I bent over and buried my head on the floor. My body was hot and itchy at the same time. Unbearably.

“Please tie me up, please.”

I grabbed Asdal’s sleeve, who was at a loss in front of me, and pleaded. Just like Luzef had done a little while ago. Tears streamed down my face because it was so painful.

“I think my body is sick. I don’t know what strange things I’ll do if this continues.”

“How can you do that to a lady.”

Suddenly, he was polite to me. At the same time, memories flashed through my mind like a panorama, and I cursed without realizing it.

“XX, you made me do all the hard work of catching fish, and now you’re calling me a lady? I did all the work of preparing the prey too? Is that consideration for a lady? XX. Yeah, life is originally this XX unfair. My X-like life!”

I only swore without restraint in front of Kaiden.

I had never uttered raw swear words in front of Asdal, but now I was so dazed that I couldn’t even properly recognize it.

That’s why you should correct your language habits in normal times. To prevent it from flowing out unconsciously.

“M-My apologies.”

Asdal apologized with a truly troubled face. No, why is a man who has even been married acting so awkward?

I crossed my wrists and held them out to him, meaning to tie me up quickly.

“Quickly.”

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

I grabbed Asdal’s wrist.

“I told you, I don’t know what I’ll do. Tie me up quickly.”

I even grabbed Asdal by the collar with my other hand.

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

I just wanted to somehow stop this painfully hot heat.

Asdal’s red face came into view. I don’t know why his face is red. Is he also infected with Tentationem?

I slowly tilted my face towards him while holding his collar.

And then,

“I’ll tie you up.”

A familiar voice intervened between Asdal and me.

Jet-black hair was the first thing that caught my eye. Soon, my face was reflected in Golden Eyes that were so beautiful that they were mesmerizing.

Enoch had woken up.

“Margaret.”

My name was contained in a low voice that was deeply submerged and resonated in his Adam’s apple.

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

“Get out of the way. I feel like I’m going to die right now.”

My tongue was twisted, and it was difficult to even stand, as if I were drunk. I lost strength in my body and let go of the hand that was holding Asdal’s collar.

Asdal’s face, which seemed regretful, moved away, and I saw the hard wooden floor in my view.

Just as I was about to smash my head on the floor, a thick arm wrapped around my waist and lifted me up in an instant.

“…Huh?”

It seemed that Enoch had picked me up.
