Lover While The Duke
#17 Another Attack? (Love Potion)
"Are you okay?"
Yanneta hurriedly entered the carriage and approached Lionel. His hand immediately checked his forehead.
Heat.
A few moments ago the cold became hot.
"Hot."
Lionel's voice was agitated. His hand opened some buttons on his shirt.
"Where is sick? We need to get home soon. I've sent people to tell Mr. Tatiha."
Lionel nodded weakly.
"I'm fine Yanneta."
"You're hot."
Not answering. His eyes looked at Yanneta who was sitting by watching him. The reddish lips that had nothing to stop worrying about him were his.
"Yes!"
Their bodies collide. Lionel pulled Yanneta closer. He sliced the distance that pissed him off. He wanted Yanneta to leave him like in the party room earlier.
He immediately grabbed Yanneta's body possessively.
"Don't leave me again." His whisper.
"I'm sorry." Yanneta immersed herself in Lionel's arms.
He pleaded guilty. But there's no other choice. The curse attack could be unleashed if he did not comply with the emperor's request. He's disappointed too. He also did not want Lionel to be with Gwinia.
"I won't do it again." Further.
"Promise?"
Yanneta nodded in Lionel's arms.
"Are you okay?" Ask Yanneta again.
Lionel did not reply but slightly nodded.
"Your body is hot, it seems like a fever. Is anyone sick?"
He took off his embrace and then answered softly.
"No. I'm fine."
"If anyone's sick please hold on for a while, we'll be there soon."
In Janet's heart pray that this is no longer an attack. He didn't want to see her hurt anymore. Turned into an animal.
Lionel leaned his head against Yanneta's shoulder. Along the way they joined hands. Mutually strengthen.
"What's going on?"
As soon as Byos's question streaked. Yanneta explained briefly. The door was closed and he couldn't get in. Yanneta asks why but Byos replies not to worry because this is not an attack.
At least Yanneta was calm yet she could not stop being restless. He couldn't see Lionel.
A few moments later Fabian came out.
"Your Majesty asked me to escort the Lady back."
"Duke really why? Is he okay."
Fabian nodded small.
"It's not an attack, is it?"
"not Lady. Let me take you. The horse carriage is ready."
"No. I'd like to see Lionel for a minute."
"Sorry you can't."
Yanneta narrowed her eyes.
"Can't?"
"This is His Majesty's order."
Yanneta is not giving up. He tried to open the door but it was locked. He banged on the door but there was no answer. In fact he had called out Lionel's name several times but no one had opened the door.
"Well I'll go home if that's what you want. Good night, Your Majesty." Yanneta said to the door.
He turned around and then walked away. Just a few steps the door opened. Yanneta turned her head, but what came out was Byos.
"I don't want you to misunderstand Lady, so I'll explain a little about Duke's current condition."
The explanation is quite simple.
Lionel didn't have an attack. He just got poisoned. Because his body was immune to poison, Lionel only had a fever. So he is currently undergoing a poison cleansing treatment. This treatment was carried out by Dyos Tatiha, Byos' twin brother, as well as combing Soveil.
"Your Majesty doesn't want you to be affected so ask that you be sent back safely."
Yanneta finally understood. He was relieved because this was not an attack. But he came back agitated as soon as he thought of the poison.
"This poison is called Love Potion."
Yanneta's head tilted slightly. In his previous life Love Potion is synonymous with popular patfum. He had never heard of such poison.
Byos again explained about Love Potion. It is a poison that can trigger passion in the affected person. He'll feel dizzy and drunk. This toxin significantly increases blind sexual taste. The person affected by the poison will feel his body overheated then can not control himself.
Suddenly Yanneta recalled Lionel's attitude earlier. He is very possessive of himself. It turned out that he was trying hard to resist the effects of the disorder until his body had a fever.
"Who?" Yanneta was unable to finish her words.
"Of course." Byos nodded weakly.
"How does the poison work?"
"Many ways."
"Can it be through the air?"
Byos scratched his chin then nodded.
"This poison is liquid. So it can be mixed with water, or injected into the body, it can also be sprayed onto a target in close proximity."
"Like perfume?"
"It could be like that."
Just deserve. Lionel's smell is very fragrant. Like spring flowers, very fragrant.
"I smell the fragrance of flowers on Duke." Chirps Yanneta.
"Your Majesty was exposed quite a lot. Usually this poison does not release any characteristics. If it were to smell, the usage rate would be great."
Yanneta jerks. His mind went back to Princess Gwinia's party. He tried to trace his memories of anyone he interacted with and Lionel.
Not many. They even left the party early.
The only people he came into contact with were him and Princess Gwinia.
"Yes God. Could it be that woman.."
Who else could he suspect besides Gwinia Zagc. He's the only other person who touches Lionel, while dancing. They were so close that it was impossible to dodge.
"Basin the snake woman!" Janet cursed in her heart.
He needs to find out. This can't be allowed. It will also find out about Hell's curse. Janet was not willing if her favorite became the months of the emperor's family.
"Anti-Gwinian."
Yanneta should contact them. Anti-gwinian Society. The person who hates you the most is actually the one who loves you the most. He even knows every detail in you that you yourself don't know.
He can extract information from them. Who knows what he might get.
Yanneta immediately resigned from the Soveil mansion to return. Once at the mansion, he immediately wrote a letter to Eliz Vexia.
*
The day of the meeting has been set. Within two days after the reply letter came.
Today is the day of the meeting.
The meeting place was chosen by Rebecca who was more familiar with the capital.
It is a bakery that is quite popular these days. They have a dessert that is favored by every class. Especially young women.
In order not to flashy they often come to popular places. Twitching their snacks and tea leisurely they silently cursed and gossiped as much.
The first person to arrive was Yanneta. He was so nervous he didn't want to be late at the appointment.
Eliz arrived shortly after. Followed by Yolanda, Hillary and the last is Rebecca. The wheels of the train were stuck so the journey was long enough.
Bloom Flower is called. They arrange chairs and tables in such a way that customers who come can enjoy every menu. It is far behind with the modern concept but this concept will be adopted in future cafes.
"How are you all?" Yannet opened her voice.
"We're good. I was a little nervous but I was happy. We can finally meet again." Answer Rebecca.
"Welcome to our sorority Lady, I'm so glad to hear if you're willing to join." Clearly Eliz.
"I'm sorry if I bother Lady everything. Actually I want to ask for help." Yanneta hesitating.
"We don't mind Lady Yanneta. Please convey your difficulties, we will definitely help."
"Thank you Lady. I was confused who to ask. Then I call you all."
"Lady Yanneta need not be shy. We're friends now, aren't we? Friends should help each other." Hillary was the most forgiving to open her voice.
"I actually want to know all about Princess Gwinia." Yanneta lowered her voice slightly so as not to attract attention.
"Is this related to Duke?" Ask Eliz quickly.
"Yes God! Did she also end up tempted by Princess Gwinia?" Yolanda asked.
"No. It's not like that." Yanneta panic.
"So?" Eliz asserted while the others focused on waiting for Yanneta's answer.
"I'm worried that one day the Duke will turn his back on me. You all know for yourself not who I am, who is Princess Gwinia. Moreover, the Princess is now an adult, it will definitely be intensive to attract the Duke's attention." Yanneta pretends to be restless by adding ****** at the end of her sentence.
"God! Lady Yanneta is right. You must be very agitated Lady." Yolanda. The others seemed to agree with the compact nod.
"Okay Lady, we'll definitely help you." Rebecca grasped Yannte's hand sincerely.
"How far do you want to know?" Eliz added.
"Everything the Lady knows."
He should gather as much information as possible. Yanneta's feelings were unpleasant when she heard Gwinia's name. He is not mentioned much in the story except as an ogFL who is blind in love with Lionel. But he kept showing up at the right time. There was something strange and Janneta wanted to find him.
Seriate...
FYI
ogFL means second lead or second female lead.
