Annette went to eat for a while in the dining room with Egbert accompanying her. He felt homesick with the castle's waiter's food. The delicacy of their artificial cuisine still could not be compared to the maids in the red moon palace.
Annette ate pretty ravenously. Egbert looked at him eating while drinking the blood of a rabbit.
Annette remembered something.
"Aldrich gave you something" Annette put a fork and spoon on the plate. He took out a black box and placed it on the dining table.
"What's that?" Egbert placed the half-lasted bunny blood glass on the table.
"Supplements" Annette said as she pulled her plate aside and pulled the violet ribbon that wrapped the box cover.
"That child seems to dislike you a lot, but secretly he is paying enough attention to you. She knows that lately you've been quite exhausted from taking care of a lot of things" Annette lifted the box lid and pulled out the contents inside. It turned out to be a heart-shaped glass bottle with a purple liquid inside.
"He said he was lazy to give it to you, which is why he gave it to me"
Annette noticed the heart-shaped glass bottle with a puzzled look on her face, "What is the hallmark of supplement packaging in your country like this?"
The more noticed, it does not look like a supplement at all and the packaging is more like a perfume bottle. In addition to the liquid water in it that is purple.
Egbert knitted his pair of eyebrows at the heart-shaped glass bottle with a suspicious expression, "It seems not" he said, "Try here I see"
Annette handed the heart-shaped glass bottle to Egbert.
"I suspect he's becoming this good" Egbert said, recalling "Does he try to prank me?" Egbert looked at the glass bottle in his hand. The contents inside are purple colored liquid. He doubted it was a supplement.
"Don't suspect your son like that. After all you're his father, he can't hurt his own birth father, right?"
"But he hates me"
"Where do you know? Did he ever tell you in person?"
Egbert let out a heavy sigh, "Don't you see what his attitude has been like to me so far? He doesn't even want to call me papa?"
"If that's what you should be aware of. Aldrich grew up with only me by his side, he just found out you were his papa recently"
"That was your fault. It shouldn't have been five years ago you didn't have to run away from me"
Annette's heart went sour immediately, "If five years ago you could treat me sincerely, even if it was just a tool to achieve your ambitions, do you think I'd leave huh?"
Egbert.
Annette felt no longer tasteful about continuing her meal, directly calling the waiter to clear the table. When the servants were busy cleaning, the two of them did not leave. The atmosphere around me feels tense. Quickly the servants cleaned the dining table and hurried away from there.
"Quickly take her supplements" After being silent for a long time, Annette finally returned to her voice.
Egbert glanced at the heart-shaped glass bottle on the table with a reluctant look, "No. I doubt it's a supplement"
Annette growled in annoyance, immediately she picked up the glass bottle, unscrewed the bottle and downed it a little.
"Annettee" Egbert reflexively exclaimed in panic.
Annette placed the glass bottle that was half that and wiped her mouth. The taste of the liquid was a bit strange.
"You just drink it? What if it's poisonous?"
Annette took out a glass of water to moisten her throat from the trail of the strange concentrated taste of the purple liquid.
Then he spoke to Egbert, "I believe in my son"
Annette placed the empty glass on the table and handed the glass bottle to Egbert, "It's your turn now..."
Egbert blinked his eyes with a depressed expression.
"I drank it and I'm fine. What else do you have to doubt?"
"You think it'll react immediately after you drink it hum?" Egbert didn't expect Annette to be so stupid.
"Have a drink! If it's poisonous, we'll suffer together"
"..."
Egbert let out a helpless sigh.
"Well, I drink it"
Egbert took the glass bottle from Annette's hand and downed it.
"You satisfied now?"
Annette poked her lips tightly inside, hiding her happy smile, "Then let's take a break"
......................
"So, the crown prince and his wife are no longer in the palace?"
Rajeev had just made it to the duchy after making a one-day one-night trip from the red moon palace on his beloved brown horse.
The night the party was held, he was of course invited. But he did not seek Egbert's attention at all. Because he didn't want to make Egbert realize something.
"none. I heard they both went somewhere"
Rajeev jumped down from his horse and called a worker to take his horse to the stable.
"Give him a meal and prepare a bucket of water, he must be very tired of taking a long trip with me" Rajeev gently stroked the head of his beloved horse.
"This branch understands lord Duke"
After entrusting his horse to the worker in charge of the stables, Rajeev immediately walks into his residence with Javier, a loyal friend who is his personal secretary.
Javier's position for Rajeev, almost resembles Sean's position for Egbert.
Inside there the servants lined up neatly, bowing politely to welcome his arrival.
"Prepare a hot spring bath, I want to soak" Rajeev spoke to one of the maids.
"Okay, Mr. Duke, we'll be ready soon"
Before they disbanded, Rajeev's corner of the eye caught one of the maids pretty. Rajeev immediately intercepted him, "You're serving me a bath tonight"
The waiter did not look nervous at all. His behavior was not flirtatious, just polite and quite reserved. Looking at Rajeev at a glance, the waiter lowered his head and said, "Okay, Mr. Duke"
Rajeev smiled with satisfaction, "Then just wait for me at the bath" Pulling on the strands of his hair, Rajeev kissed her while giving a teasingly sharp glint.
The servant's eyeballs were trembling nervously. He knew it wasn't the first time Duke Rajeev had teased the beautiful maid in his residence. But it was the first time for the maid and she was unable to endure the heat due to her clumsiness.
"Well Mr. Duke, I'll go to the bath immediately and wait for you there"
"En, go!" Rajeev's voice sounded heavy, his eyes staring at the servant's departure as if he were taking off a white rabbit that had walked into the cage he had prepared.
"You seem to be having fun tonight"
Javier used to talk casually with Rajeev, although he sometimes acted quite politely as well.
"Yes, you want to follow?"
"No"
"The crown prince announced his wife but where did she go?"
"You mean Emma?"
Rajeev blinked his eyes in response.
"I haven't heard anything about him"
"I suspect Egbert trapped him in the land of men so that he could not return to Merland"
"Then tomorrow I will go to the land of men to take care of it"
