Atia was surprised by the hardness of Cauthess’s chest.

Was it like this when she briefly touched it before?

Atia touched her husband’s firm chest like handling a work of art.

The angry expression intrigued Atia’s curiosity.

Cauthess twitched.

“Why are you touching like that?”

“…….”

“Oh… don’t tease me even though I told you not to.”

Cauthess opened and closed his eyes.

“Well, no, it’s a scam, a scam.”
Atia squeezed his thick chest muscles with her small hand.

“No……”

With a face that showed it was hard for Cauthess to endure, he buried his head in Atia’s neck.

“……”

“Why? If it’s unfair, do you want to touch mine too?”

Raising her eyebrows, Atia asked, and Cauthess tightly embraced her.

Beyond the horizon, a warm sunset gently illuminated Cauthess and Atia.

Although there was anxiety in a corner of Atia’s heart, the tranquility she felt on the deck allowed her to momentarily set aside everything.

Soon, the ship arrived at the island.

The arrival was signaled not by noisy ship noises but by the quiet settling of the ship.

Having set off early in the morning, it was already late afternoon.

Owen, the first to disembark from the ship, explored the beach.

Tall tropical trees stretched near the beach.

Large, ripe tropical fruits hung abundantly from the trees.

“Thick ones like these would taste delicious.”

Muttered Owen, looking at the fruits hanging high above his head.

“By the way, our ship, which supposedly arrived first, isn’t visible.”

There was a last signal here.

But for some reason, not a ship, not even a person, was in sight.

Owen’s knight, who had looked around elsewhere and returned, reported.

“The island seems larger than it looks. There might be another ship somewhere else.”

“That could be.”

Beyond the beach, there was a forest, but fog obscured the view, making it hard to see.

Owen spoke to the knights.

“We have to find Line 4, so we need to ride around the island by boat.”

Although the sky was clear, the atmosphere was not good upon arriving at the island.

A knight who was surveying around spoke to Owen.

“The mooring doesn’t seem good after anchoring. It seems we need to temporarily postpone boating.”

“Then we should explore the island first.”

Owen examined the surrounding terrain and started walking forward.

‘There are a lot of useful things.’

While Owen and his party were exploring the island, Atia, along with Kesha and Hari, disembarked from the ship.

Cauthess stood in front and held Atia’s hand.

Descending from the deck, a view of tropical trees growing on the white sandy beach unfolded.

The sunset scene was amazingly beautiful.

The island was wider than Kesha and Hari had imagined.

Full of dense forests, cliffs, and nearby, even unfamiliar tropical fruits.

Despite having traveled only a few hours by ship, they couldn’t take their eyes off the exotic scenery.

“Wow, it’s really beautiful.”

“It’s like a painting…… so romantic. How nice would it be to walk here with the person you love?”

Hari murmured, glancing at Cauthess.

Just looking at this vast and beautiful island brought peace to their hearts.

This quiet and tranquil place showed no signs of human habitation.

“It’s perfect for a resort.”

Atia put her hand on her waist and lifted the corners of her mouth.

‘Although I’ve traveled a lot abroad, I’ve never seen such a beautiful place….’
Under the sky, which had turned into pastel tones, the emerald waves seemed to heal the heart just by looking at them.

However, despite the beauty, there was a separate purpose for coming here, so there was no time to leisurely enjoy the scenery.

“You guys stay here.”

Atia looked at Kesha and Hari and spoke.

“Yes?”

“Stay here. Don’t follow us for no reason.”

“What? We came all the way here… Can’t we follow you too?”

Kesha pleaded with clasped hands.

Atia pondered how to deal with these guys, whose minds were filled with flowers.

“It’s dangerous. Don’t you know we came to this island just to play volleyball leisurely…”

“Maybe we can help. We might have something to offer.”

Hari also interjected.

“I want to see too, the natives! And maybe we can help, Madam.”

Atia chuckled.

“I should have stopped you when you said you wanted to ride the boat together.”

“Oh~ Is that so?”

Kesha grabbed Atia’s arm with his thick biceps.

Atia warned with narrowed eyes.

“The heads of these guys are filled with flower fields. Do you want to get hit with a spear and go to heaven? It’s dangerous here.”

“It doesn’t matter. I want to be with you wherever you go, Madam.”

“…”

“Dying together or living together.”

‘These guys, I don’t even know what kind of place it is.’

Atia couldn’t take them to a place she didn’t know well.

They could ride the boat together, but going deeper into the island was another matter.

Owen’s search team found something nearby.

Dozens of footprints led into the forest.

“It looks like human traces.”

“They seem to have passed this way.”

Owen still couldn’t believe that Atia had the power of prophecy.

If her words about prophecies were lies, he could pressure Wellington by accusing her of the crime of deceiving a noble.

If only it worked that way, Wellington’s expression would be quite interesting.

So, as long as he confirmed whether her words were true or not, Owen had nothing to lose.

‘I need to confirm with my own eyes whether the Duchess’s words are true or not.’
