A few minutes after the meeting.
Justin was in the main office of the association chairman, unaccompanied by his two subordinates. In the middle of the silent night, the people attending the banquet had left the place. Surrounded by assassins who were outside to the roof, making Justin no need to worry about security.
The guy came in suddenly, lucky I didn't make him mad.
*Tok tock
Someone knocked on the door from the outside.
Justin smiled broadly with lust. To be sure, he asked the assassin, "What is he?"
"Yes, Young Master."
Justin hurried to the door. His body staggered slightly from being drunk, but with the help of an assassin, Justin was able to clear his head.
The door opened, a bright light from the hallway of the room instantly illuminated the dark room. A woman standing right in front of him, Justin could not see at all because of the glare.
"Did I interrupt your rest, Mr Justin?" ask a woman in front of him.
This voice .. at last.
"No." Justin smiled as he leaned his body forward. "Please come in, Miss Hart."
And welcome, my lady.
The two sat facing each other with a glass of tea in front of each of them. Justin lets Alissa Hart drink her tea first, and Alissa Hart drinks it without hesitation.
Justin's attention was drawn to the glass that came into direct contact with the woman's lips.
"It's a delicious tea, very suitable because the air is so cold tonight" said Alissa Hart.
Alissa Hart wears a fur coat that covers the exposed part of her shoulders. As he said, the weather was really cold tonight.
"You're right. It's high quality tea, it's very rare to be able to enjoy it in the middle of the night like this" Justin continued.
"Did you drink it infrequently? You look busy."
"Hmmm .. right, but drinking tea in a depressed condition actually bothers me a lot."
Justin wasn't lying about this. He only consumed coffee or something that is often used with his two subordinates.
"Enjoying tea in a relaxing time like this makes me feel like I've done everything" Justin continued.
Alissa Hart sipped her tea. Justin glanced back at his lips.
"It looks like this tea fits perfectly with the tongues of the people in our kingdom. Can you sell some of these quality teas?"
"It looks like it's going to be a little difficult. This tea comes from the south. In addition to travel costs, the main problem of this tea is its harvest period, they only harvest in one particular season. Therefore they can only produce limited tea leaves."
"South, yes ...."
"There's a kingdom in the south that's cooperating with the association, but sorry, I can't tell him. Fortunately, the kingdom did not receive a significant impact from the vampire attacks that occurred some time ago."
"There's no need to apologize, it's already in the agreement, right?" Alissa Hart smiled gently at Justin.
"L-yes, I'll try to get you to enjoy this tea too."
The atmosphere became awkward when the chatter ended. Alissa Hart was still enjoying her tea, whereas Justin could only clench his hands to control his thoughts.
It's time for you to work, assassin.
The air was getting colder, the windows were not at all wide open, yet the cold air continued to try to pierce the skin of the two of them.
"The purpose of My coming here is to thank you for believing My words. Thanks to you, the Federation no longer fuss about medicinal plants." Alissa Hart bowed her head before Justin.
"It's just a small matter" Justin replied with a small laugh. "I do believe in you guys. My father would have done the same."
"Once again I say thank you."
Justin took his breath. "alright. For the fee, what if you accompany me while discussing something else?"
"No problem. Even I'll accompany you until morning."
The formal conversation is over, it's time to start the approach. Justin took something out of his pocket.
"How about we add a little taste variant to this tea?"
Alissa Hart notices the small package that Justin put out.
"Is that some kind of sugar?" The question the woman asked sounded very innocent.
"Look like sugar, I call it Caoy. It can calm you down, I can assure you that it's perfectly safe." Justin offered the caoy to Alissa Hart.
The woman seemed hesitant to take it.
His attitude is much different than before, maybe this is the original attitude of an Alissa Hart? It looks weak and easily fooled.
Justin considers Alissa Hart who is in front of him at this time as a genuine figure, the point is his real attitude. He did not believe the rumors of S rank adventurers defeating dragons.
Alissa Hart took the caoy from Justin's hand, her face still looking doubtful.
"Caoy can be used as a flavor enhancer in beverages. But there are other ways to process it ...." His mouth suddenly stopped talking.
Whatisthis?
Justin felt something was wrong with him.
I don't know for sure, it looks like there's something strange. Is that just my feeling?
"Huh?" Justin seemed confused by what he was seeing.
Alissa Hart unhesitatingly mixed caoy with tea, then began to drink it.
"You're right, it tastes a little stronger than before" said Alissa Hart, sipping her tea several times.
Hey, hey, are you kidding me? Even I felt the effect on the first pull. But, this woman .. ah, I forgot about it.
Justin really enjoyed this casual chat, he tried to explore other paths, such as changing the subject.
"Miss Hart, how are you going to deal with the war after the armistice?"
"Why are you asking that?" alissa Hart finished her tea. The position of the woman is currently bowing her head in a state of right hand resting on the table while holding a glass.
"I admit, the Maphas Mage Kingdom has had significant advances in infrastructure. Until the other kingdoms are very curious and start to become the topic of conversation, I also want to go there once in a while."
"Have you forgotten about it? We're producing all the weapons we have today."
"Well, that's right. But you never showed any military force in public. I'm afraid the other kingdoms will forever look upon you weak."
Moreover, Justin was a little curious about the rumors about the legendary sword that became the tournament prize some time ago at that place.
I'm pretty sure they must have a deadly weapon that wasn't shown to us.
"You don't have to worry. Queen Daisy has returned, she has many plans in place. It's all under his control."
He's arrogant.
That's how Justin thinks, but ....
His arrogance added to my interest in him.
Alissa Hart's eyes look soft, he can't control his body which could have fallen at any time. Justin has been waiting a long time for this moment.
Finally, caoy showed the effect.
There are two ways to use caoy that Justin knows. First, burn and suck it, the effect will make the feeling calm, and relax. Then second, mix it directly into the drink, the effect is a little heavier than the first, and the effect does not immediately appear suddenly. Your body will be numb, but it will still feel comfortable, and the overwhelming drowsiness will not be able to fight.
"Hup!" Justin catches the body of Alissa Hart about to fall from her seat. His face began to draw closer to the woman's neck and began to sniff her.
"Ah, fuck. What reason do I have to make tomorrow?"
If this is gonna cause any other trouble, I don't mind doing it.
Connect ....
