It was midnight when I woke up. As I tossed and turned, I realized that my head was on someone’s hard lap.
Startled, I jumped up, and Enoch, who was leaning against the wall of the cave with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes.
“Oh, are you awake?”
Enoch said in a deep voice. How sexy……oh, this is not the time to think like this.
“What happened?”
At my question, Enoch bit his lower lip.
At that moment, the moonlight was seeping into the cave, and his face was clearly visible.
“I’m sorry.”
“Yes?”
I blinked my eyes and looked at Enoch’s face, not knowing what he was talking about.
“You had a fever. But I didn’t know which medicine I should give you.”
Only then did I look at the first aid kit next to Enoch. Medicines were scattered.
“I’ve never been this helpless in my entire life.”
His well-formed face was contorted as if in pain.
“It’s not Enoch’s fault…… Oh, by the way, where did you my the dress?”
Enoch bit his lips tightly as if he was in trouble with my question.
Looking at that face, I had a hunch. Finally, the time has come. He must have met someone. Either one of the male leads or the female lead, or all of them.
‘Is the peace finally over?’
Even now, I sometimes get attacked by monsters, so I can’t say it’s peaceful though.
I became sullen, lowering my shoulders and bowing my head.
Then, a gentle hand touched my head. To my surprise, Enoch was stroking my hair.
I looked up in surprise and met Enoch’s eyes. He was stroking my head as if stroking a puppy.
‘What’s with those eyes? Does he really think I’m a puppy?’
While I was thinking about it, Enoch said in a soft voice,
“I met Sir Diego. He was the one who stole your dress.”
Damn it. As expected.
‘No, but why did the commander of the guards steal the dress of a woman who was taking a bath? Where did his morale of the knight go?’
“Where is that bastard—no, Sir Diego?”
Enoch apologized to me with a calm face,
“He was a man of mine, and I apologize for his disrespectful behavior.”
“Why are you apologizing?”
“If you want him to directly apologize to you, tell me. I will drag him.”
Seeing Enoch’s serious expression, maybe he would really bring Diego in front of me right away if I asked him to.
I let out a sigh for no reason. I’m not crazy. Do you think I’ll go to meet another male lead? It’s like walking directly into hellfire.
Enoch alone was enough, but even now, there was Kayden too. It was too much for me to deal with only two male leads.
“It’s okay. I’ll take my own revenge later.”
Enoch laughed a little at my answer.
“Will you take revenge yourself?”
“Of course, I have to. I am a person who gives back what I have been given. I’ll tell Sir Diego to be careful with the back of his head. I mean, he will never know when I will go to steal his clothes.”
Of course, I’m not going to do it now, but I’ll definitely steal it before I escape the island.
“Is there anyone else?”
I glanced at Enoch secretly. According to the original work, it was clear that Diego would be with the other main characters.
“That…… I don’t know.”
Enoch gave an ambiguous answer, not sure if he really didn’t know or just pretended not to.
I tilted my head, watching Enoch’s expression closely, but it was difficult to understand what was in his heart.
“Isn’t it better to move together to escape the island? Shouldn’t we gather information?”
Enoch stopped stroking my hair, put his fist on his chin, and thought. Then he said to me,
“It makes sense, but I don’t think we need to go around together. I decided to exchange information with Sir Diego once every ten days.”
As Enoch said, Diego was the commander of the Imperial Guards of the Langridge Empire, so he is Enoch’s man. Of course, I thought I would move with Diego as well, but Enoch’s answer was quite surprising.
“I see.”
“I think he’s in a similar situation to us. Well, I don’t know much.”
Still resting his chin on his fist, he rolled his eyes and glanced down at me. Then he quietly reached out and stroked my hair again.
‘What? Why are you doing this?’
But the touch was not uncomfortable. In fact, I felt strangely relaxed. So this is how it feels when someone gently strokes my hair.
I never received such a friendly touch when I was Lee Jin-joo. Because I didn’t get along well with people.
“Don’t worry too much, if I get any useful information, I’ll share it.”
