I made her take the medicine because I was worried about her health, but Shael wanted to make me take them because she wanted to see me suffer .
It was quite sad, but it was okay. Because now, it was Shaelâs turn to feel the bitterness!
âPlease eat it all.â
Shael spent a long time eating the herbal supplements.
I then said to Shael, who was eating the bitter herbs, âI donât think the dessert I brought will be good for your health, so Iâll give it back to you later.â
This time, Shael opened her mouth as if to retort. It seemed that she didnât want to lose the desserts no matter how drunk she was. However, I didnât give her the chance to complain.
âI will not accept objections.â
The effects of Obedience Tree Sap seemed to be better than I thought.
Then time slowly passed.
The clock was telling me that it was time for me to go.
After confirming that, I said to Shael, who was obediently sitting on the chair.
âPlease accompany me to the hallway.â
Originally, she would never agree to do that, but Shael had no choice but to obey.
After that, Shael and I walked to the front door of the Azbel familyâs mansion..
Just as I was about to tell Shael to go back to her room, Duke Jespen appeared.
ââŠ!â
Duke Jespen opened his mouth in amazement.
It was a natural reaction. Because Shael had never accompanied me to the front door before.
At the same time, Duke Jespen joked, âShael, since you accompanied Eran all the way hereâŠâ
I sensed something! It was something very ominous! And that ominous feeling proved to be right.
â⊠then how about you give him a hug?â
As soon as she heard those words, Shael hugged me!
She did that before I could even dodge it.
ââŠ!â
Duke Jespen looked at the scene in awe. It was the same for the maids who were not far away.
Sigh⊠it looks like another rumor was going to spread again in the Azbel territory.

[Shaelâs POV]
Shael hurried back to her room. She had to stay away from people for a while because of that darned Obedience Tree Sap. It would be a disaster if she were to meet someone in the state she was in.
She was able to do that because her drunkenness was gone from what happened just before, and now she was able to make normal judgments.
âHaah!â
Shael let out a sigh after she was finally left alone. âI did something stupid.â
Suddenly Shaelâs eyes fell on the honey water and dessert box placed on her table.
Earlier, Eran had left for a while and went to the bathroom. It was clear that he had brought the honey water for her at that time.
He said that he would also take away the dessert, but fortunately he seemed to have left it behind.
[It will help with your hangover, so please drink it.]
He even left a note.
Shael drank the honey water. She actually didnât want to drink it, but she had to do it because of the Obedience Tree Sap.
At the same time, looked at Eranâs note and thought, âWhat is this all about?â
It was because of Eran.
When it came to Eran, she was doing the actions that were listed in the book.
âItâs not fair!â
She didnât achieve her goal after all the dinking and Eranâs even made her say strange things.
Shael recalled what happened just before. She remembered the things Eran made her say.
[I like you.]
[I love you.]
He made him say those words. He even recorded them with the serpent orb that Shael had previously taken from him. And that wasnât the end!
[Shael, since you accompanied Eran all the way here, then how about you give him a hug?]
After thinking Duke Jespenâs words, Shael let out a sigh.
The Obedience Tree Sap reacted to his words, and she hugged Eran.
Shaelâs face turned red with shame, when she recalled the scene in her head.
âI will never forget todayâs disgrace!â
Shael vowed that she would get her revengeâŠsomehow.
And then, something suddenly came to Shaelâs mind. It was one of the characteristics of the Obedience Tree Sap that Shael had just drank.
[Finally here! Obedience Tree Sap! Of course, itâs impossible to make a target do something they completely refuse to do⊠but you can make them do anything else!]
ââŠâ
Even though she didnât have a good memory, but she remembered that explanation very clearly.
âItâs impossible to make a target do something they completely refuse to do?â
[I like you.]
[I love you.]
Then what about those things she had said before?
Did that mean that she didnât say those things purely under the effects of the Obedience Tree Sap?
At the same time, she remembered what was written on all the torn pages of the books she had read before. A lot of things from those books overlapped with Shaelâs actions.
Shael shook her head to get rid of her thoughts, and she lay down on her bed. Then she said to herself, âIâm tired now, so itâs normal that Iâm having such strange thoughts.â
Shael hugged the doll that she had always kept next to her as a habit. However, Shael suddenly jolted awake and had no choice but to shake off the doll she was hugging.
