Chapter 120

A Mess (6)

“Ah…”

The two had already been ordered to be captured. The knights, who were searching for the missing Lady Otis, found her and stopped walking.

Tears and runny nose and nosebleeds. The sight of them clutching each other’s hair was really terrible.

They, who were shouting and hurting each other without knowing who was watching, calmed down. The knight declared with a stern look.

“Both of you need to come with us.”

“The lady is… I think she’s addicted to poison.”

“I know that!”

Cecil’s anger engulfed him. Cecil felt Rowena pulling his sleeve and to suppress his anger.

“Didn’t I tell you to come up with a way to detoxify the poison…”

A moderate voice barely leaking out, the healer answered with a tremor.

“I’m sorry, but there’s no other way but to sleep with a man… I don’t think so.”

“…”

There was a brief silence in the room. They rented a room in a mansion close to the Count of Otis and sat in the living room because the poison could have spread further while riding in the carriage.

The owner of this house was pleased that the crown prince and his fiancee had come in and gave them the best room in the house.

“Other than that, is there anything else to note?”

“This poison is so terrible… Y-you’ll have to do it a lot. And the poison will continue to spread for a while…”

In fact, it was a kind of poisoning that he could not handle, but the healer couldn’t bear to say it with his mouth.

He was a violent and famous crown prince. How could he say that he couldn’t handle it in front of him?

His head might roll on that carpet as soon as he spoke.

Maryen hoped that Rowena, suffering from poisoning, would find a man in desperation. Hence, she paid several men for the job, however, she was caught by Cecil.

There was one thing Maryen forgot, that Cecil wasn’t an ordinary person.

“That… If she goes to bed whenever the poison is slightly eased, the symptoms will improve quickly. L-like a month or two at the most…”

Rowena, who was burying her face in Cecil’s chest so that no one else could see her, became dizzy. She will be suffering from poison for a month or two! In addition, Cecil seemed to be very angry.

“Then we will…”

Even if she drank a neutralizer, there was a limit.  Even the maids, the attendants, the healer and the escort knights quickly left the room.

As soon as the door of the living room closed, Cecil held Rowena. He had Rowena on his thigh since he sat on the sofa.

Rowena looked at Cecil with excitement. She didn’t want to express it because there were people, but her body was heating up.

She has always wanted to touch Cecil, but she had never felt this way.

The fierce blue eyes glared at Rowena. There was a brownish redness on the rim of Rowena’s friendly green eyes. Her eyes were green hence, the red seemed to stand out.

“…Do you want to have me?”

Rowena nodded hesitantly. Because she didn’t have to hide it from him. Cecil’s blue eyes narrowed.

It was Rowena that he always wanted to hold, but he didn’t want to give in easily today. Hence so, he said to not let her go but instead send someone who looked like her!

Now his knights may be in Kernan’s home base in search of a boy whose finger would have been amputated. Maryen and Emilia, who were caught at the scene, were also being questioned.

“…No matter how well things worked out, it didn’t work out if you weren’t safe. You know, right?”

Rowena gulped at Cecil’s grim whisper.

“Hnn… If Your Highness makes love to me… Well, wouldn’t that make me safe?”

Even if it was an addiction, poison was poison. The poison spread if it was not cured in time.

If she didn’t have s*x, the poison would spread and she would die.

He would make love to her as much as he wanted until the poison subsided.

“You didn’t even know how worried I was…”

Cecil, who laid Rowena on the bed, took off his clothes first. Rowena looked at Cecil with an apologetic tint on her cheeks.

Even with a disguise, he couldn’t be sure that he was perfectly hidden, so he couldn’t follow her into the mansion. After that, he tried to sneak into the mansion and take a peek, as every time he waited, his blood boiled and he was anxious.

“I didn’t do it on purpose, hah…”

Cecil, who showed his upper body, also touched her cheek delicately. Cecil untied Rowena’s dress quickly.
