I'm Stuck on a Remote Island With the Male Leads - Chapter 1

1. Life Is Made up of Damn Timing

Enoch then realized that it was my ankle that he was holding, and hastily let go of it. Then I cleaned the sand off my ankles.

“Young Lady Floné.”

It was a voice filled with anger. He got up with a ferocious face.

“How could this happen?”

He must have misunderstood that I kidnapped him.

Then I sat down with him.

The golden eyes and even the tear dot under his left eye were staring at me fiercely.

“Well……”

I was a little perplexed and looked into his eyes. Enoch had bloody eyes that looked as if they would tear me apart if I didn’t answer.

I should have run away as soon as I opened my eyes.

“Well….., actually I don’t know either….., huh? What’s that?”

I didn’t continue but pointed at the sky with a surprised face. Enoch followed my finger and looked up.

Of course, there was nothing in the sky.

I jumped from my seat taking advantage of the opportunity. However, as soon as I stood up, I was quickly caught by Enoch’s hands.

Eventually, I rolled the sand with him again.

Damn it!

Enoch locked me in his arms.

“Where are you going to run to?”

There was no time to think about this strange posture. Because he asked me in a bloody tone again.

“You have to tell me how the hell this happened.”

As I showed signs of moving, he grabbed my wrist.

“Oh, how do I know? I think I’m going to die of confusion right now.”

I grumbled without hiding my resentment. Of course, Enoch didn’t blink an eye.

“You just tried to run away, do you think I would believe that?”

“You threatened me, so what should I do when I’m scared?”

When I asked with an absurd face, Enoch bit his lip to see if he had been stabbed in the right direction. But soon, his eyebrows rose sharply again.

Even in the midst of this, it’s an alluring look that makes people admire it. A handsome face without any flaws is nice to look at, but that alone doesn’t save me, does it?

“Young Lady Floné. Looking at your face, I can tell you think this is a joke.”

There was a sense of intimidation in his harsh tone, and his eyes as he looked at me blazed like fiery lava.

“You must have poor eyesight.”

With a slight headache, I answered by rubbing my temple.

“Thinking about what Young Lady has done in the past, I think my suspicions are justified.”

At his words, I remembered Margaret’s past deeds.

Margaret was famous for chasing Enoch viciously.

It was not uncommon to follow him around like a stalker and annoy him, and if there was a young lady who even spoke to him, she would grab her hair without any noble dignity and make a fuss.

There was a time when she almost killed him because of a love potion she bought by tricking him into thinking it was a drinkable medicine.

The case was well managed by the power of the Duke of Floné, but from then on Enoch began to hate Margaret in earnest.

She had done so many rude things that she could be punished at any time for her sins, but she survived.

It was thanks to the great power of the Duke of Floné. Of course, the fact that Prince Enoch was a prince without backers also played a part.

‘I have nothing to say.’

But I answered in the calmest tone possible.

“The Floné’s family is strong, but it’s not enough to recklessly kidnap the Crown Prince of the Empire.

I sighed and ruffled my hair back. Maybe because of the humid weather, I got dizzy. It was too late to pretend to be dignified.

“……right.”

Enoch calmed his anger faster than expected and began to make a proper judgment of the situation. The energy that threatened me disappeared in an instant.

“Was it the work of the Rodven’s faction?”

He muttered with a thoughtful look on his face.

If it was Rodven, it was clear that he was referring to the wretched and abandoned prince who had been deprived of the crown prince’s seat by Enoch and imprisoned in the north.

Yes, as Enoch said, there may be political reasons.

However, it is not too late to think about the problem after I escape.

“Then, are you done with your business?”

I turned around quietly. I was about to go straight into the forest but he hurriedly grabbed my arm.

“Where are you going?”

Damn, I tried to run away naturally, but this time I failed again.

‘I think it will be easier for me to take refuge in a safe place.’

Finding the hut the main character lives in might help me survive.

Besides the hut, there is also an underground bunker suitable for hiding.

The female lead Yuanna finds a bunker at the end of the first volume of the novel, that is before she escapes from the island through the ‘door’.

I have to find the hut and the bunker.

Even if I don’t have fighting strength, I’m more confident than anyone in survival, so all I need to do is find a place to hide.

Of course, Enoch was not in my plans.

“Let me go.”

I warned Enoch by pointing at my caught wrist, but it didn’t work.

His glaring eyes at me became sharp again, like burning embers.

He gripped my wrist tightly as he lowered his head gently.

“If I let you go, you’ll run away again. I still don’t believe you, Young Lady.”

A terribly low voice rang in my ears.

My wrist hurt, so I protested.

“It hurts.”

He smirked at my words.

However, contrary to his reaction, the strength in my tightly gripped wrist was released. But that didn’t mean he completely let go of it.

In the novel, Enoch is a gentleman, but the ‘gentleman’ does not seem to apply to Margaret.

‘Why did you live like that, Margaret of the past?’

There is no point in lamenting. Now I am the present Margaret.

Enoch looked around the beach and said, “First of all, we need to figure out where this place is.”

I hide my annoyance and shook my head hard to find a way out of this situation. How should I escape from Enoch?

Even if I ran away now, it was clear that I would be caught again. So I have to do it when he’s off guard.

After all, Enoch will be meeting the female lead soon, should I run away at that time?

“Are you going to the forest?”

At my question, Enoch looked towards the forest, which seemed a little dark.

“If need be.”

The island is dangerous after sunset. Because it is an enchanted island, it is bustling with monsters that are only active at night. Whatever you do, you have to move quickly before the sun goes down.

‘Come to think of it, as far as I remember there are also modern items on the island……’

I recalled the original content again.

The worldview of the novel 《Things More Important Than Survival》 is very unique.

It’s not just the survival on an uninhabited island, it’s as if a spoonful of modern stuff mixed with a western period romance fantasy.

Therefore, useful items used in modern times such as first aid kits and lighters were hidden on this remote island. All of them are very helpful equipment for survival.

‘That’s a bit odd. All the main characters are from another world, so why does modern stuff exist?’

I don’t know what the author’s intention was to make such a setting.

Even in the original work, the main characters always throw them away endlessly since they don’t know how to use them even though they are necessary to survive.

‘It is important to find and collect modern items. Even if the main characters don’t know, I will be able to use them well.’

I’m working hard on a plan in my head.

“You better not think about running away again.”

Maybe Enoch noticed my thoughts, he looked back at me and threatened me again.

‘He was quick.’

I sighed as I looked at my wrist held by him.

“Yes yes.”

I ended up walking along with Enoch.

The plan to escape from Enoch had failed, but I should at least avoid meeting the other male leads.

‘By the way, what are the other male leads doing now?’

My favorite is Kayden the Archmage, the 5th male lead that appears at the end of the story.

The reason why Kayden appears last is that he has strong individualistic and independent tendencies.

He doesn’t like group life, so he just wanders around the female lead before she escapes. And he’s not even a ‘wild animal’.

I like him because he’s the most straight and rational among the male leads, and I don’t want to meet those other crazy male leads.

On the other hand, Enoch moved without notice. Thanks to him, I almost fell, so I protested against him again.

“Can’t you just hold my hand instead of my wrist? It’s uncomfortable.”

At my words, Enoch’s sharp eyes fell on my face. Those eyes were so bloody that I quickly turned my head.

It’s better to deal with one male lead who hates me the most than to deal with many male leads who also hate me……

That would really be better, wouldn’t it?
