“…….”

But still no words came out of her mouth.

Elio put the cup in front of Christa.

The light purple tea emits a strong scent. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Christa took the cup. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.When she took a sip, her lungs felt as if they were filled with the strong smell of incense.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“How does it smell? Doesn’t it smell good?”

“Ah, that…”

Christa tried to express some appreciation. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.But her voice is gradually losing strength and fading away.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“Yes, yes it is.”

Elio’s figure gradually fluctuates. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.The floor and ceiling are distorted. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Soon there was a loud noise, but she couldn’t react at all. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.The teacup fell on the floor and fell into pieces as it rolled around.read only at salmonlatte . com.

With a growing sense of turbidity, Christa realized that something had just been mixed with the tea she had been drinking.

Elio lifted Christa’s head gently. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Only his figure was fixed in her view as the background whirled violently.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“How much do you know about the Duke of Argonod, the Tenth Knight Palmaril?”

“Ah, uh…”

She tried to say something, but her tongue felt dull and her body felt too heavy. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Elio whispered quietly in her ear.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“The Duke is a man who is incapable of loving anyone.”

His voice rang in her ears. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.It was as if he was rubbing her head with an invisible hand.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“Or don’t tell me you love the Duke.”

He then laughed out loud as if something was funny.

Now Christa couldn’t even move her eyes. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Her body seemed bound by an invisible force.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“You have a very low temperature.”

Elio’s face came close again. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.She could feel his breath, but she couldn’t resist. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.The texture of skin rubbing the back of her neck felt strange. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Normally, she would have pushed him away, but now she couldn’t resist anything.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Elio, who has been touching her face for a while now, looked into her eyes.

His green eyes, like a swamp in a forest, are reflected in her eyes.

“I like it.”

Her dilated pupils were unable to respond. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Tears flowed from her eyes as she was unable to blink for a long time. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.It was Elio’s tongue that licked it up.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

She felt pain, but she couldn’t resist anything.

‘Somebody please…….’

Christa seemed trapped in an unbreakable nightmare. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Whoever it is, please save me.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

It overlapped with her cries from back then. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Even then, she wanted to be saved by anyone. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Whoever it is, save me. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.But the blade of mercy and salvation did not come easily.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Then there was a voice in her ear.

“Let go of me!”

“But the crown prince told me not to let anyone in.”

“My fiancée is there.”

The urgent voice was a voice she knew well. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.For a moment something inside her came to a boil.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Soon after, he came into view with the sound of something breaking.

“Christa!”

It was him, the one who always stood in the sun, the one who would save her.

“Oh, Duke, isn’t that rude?”

“What the hell is going on here?”

Ragnar immediately approached Christa. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Christa, who drooped like a doll, collapsed helplessly.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“Christa?”

Ragnar’s expression was horribly distorted.

“I just said hello to your fiance. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Don’t look at me like you’re going to eat me up. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.She’ll wake up in no time.”read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

He just said that and stepped back.

“What the hell did you do to Christa?”

“Ragnar, if you had simply engaged with Natalia, this would not have happened.”

“Do you think I’m going to get mixed up with the Imperial family?”

“No, but at least I believe it was a lesson.”

Ragnar, who knew the meaning of his words, shuddered. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.His servant, Mervin, blocked Ragnar. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Further clashes here would put them at a disadvantage.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“Then take proper care of your fiancee.”

Elio left the VIP room after saying those words.

Christa’s body twitched slightly.

“Christa?”

Her white eyelashes flutter and her dilated pupils return.

“Cap…Captain?”

And soon a fit of coughing broke out. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Red liquid flows out of the mouth.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“Christa…”

Ragnar’s expression turned angry.

“Why is the captain here…….”

Christa moved her stiff body slowly. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Slowly, the sensation returned to her fingertips. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.And when she swept her tongue across her lips, she could see why Ragnar’s expression was so harsh. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.It seemed like she had vomited blood.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“I am sorry.”

“Why are you apologizing?”

It was probably the Crown Prince who should apologize.

“I should have anticipated this situation. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.I didn’t know that crazy guy would act right away…….”read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Christa sat back and thought about what had just happened. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.She could not understand the current situation, however.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“Why in the world does His Highness the Crown Prince…….”

“Have you ever heard of the Crown Prince’s rumor?”

Christa shook her head quietly.

“Yes, I see. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Did he do anything else to you?”read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Then Mervin Ferride grabbed a fragment of the teacup that fell on the floor. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.He rubbed the silver spoon in his hands, and it discolored.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“Maybe the tea was mixed with poison.”

Ragnar barely held back his anger. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.When Christa saw his face, she realized that her heart was beating violently. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Slowly, she put her hand on her chest.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

The Crown Prince’s eyes were of the kind she knew well. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.For such a person, slaughtering someone would be no different than pressing down on an ant cub. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.His eyes were like that.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Her whole body trembled uncontrollably. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Then Christa realized.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

She survived.

Her chest moving up and down was proof of that. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.She was breathing wildly as if she was longing and willing to live. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.It was disgusting and she had to shut her mouth.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“Christa?”

“……I’m all right.”

She said, raising her hand. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.She couldn’t breathe well, so her voice came out fast. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Seeing her, Ragnar held Christa in his arms despite her dissuasion.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“C, captain?”

“Until I check what drug you took…….”

“We’ve arranged for a carriage at the back door.”

Mervin told Ragnar.

Ragnar marched straight to the carriage with Christa in his arms.

“I, I can walk.”

But he was adamant. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.More rebellion seemed meaningless, so she had no choice but to give up.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Afterwards, they headed for the townhouse of Argonod.

“…….”

“…….”

There was a hell of silence in the carriage.

Ragnar pressed his index finger under his eyes as if he was tired. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.He should have expected Elio to pull a stunt like this. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Just like he did with his sister Eudina.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Thinking about it made him emotional and angry again. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.The same situation could also be repeated. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.The direction of his anger was toward himself rather than the crown prince.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

And he looked at Christa in front of him. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.She looked pretty calm despite such a huge thing happening.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

It was Ragnar who couldn’t stand the silence.

“Why don’t you ask me anything?”

“What should I ask?”

“About what happened…….”

As expected, this woman was strange.

But Christa didn’t open her mouth any more. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.He knew from experience that it was useless to talk to her when she’s like this.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Now, Christa was looking at the scenery outside the window and was making a dull expression. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.It was quite easy for him to do nothing in this situation. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Maybe that’s what Ragnar really wanted.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

A woman who doesn’t flirt, doesn’t cling, doesn’t ask. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.That was Christa Palmaril. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.He’d never met such a comfortable woman before. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.He considered himself very lucky.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

At that moment, something foreign disturbed him. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.The strangeness of his chest bothered him for a while. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.It took him a long time to realize the meaning of that discomfort.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

The Duke’s doctor, Kenneth, examined Christa. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.He was able to quickly find out what kind of poison it was from the fragments of the tea cup that Mervin brought.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“It’s a shade of windweed and black violet roots.”

“What are they used for?”

“The shade of windweed paralyzes the body. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.The root of black violet is a medicine that has been used for abortion since ancient times.”read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“So Christa…”

The doctor looked at Christa’s pulse several times and tilted his head.

“Fortunately, she didn’t drink a lot. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.It won’t affect her that much, but…….”read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

The doctor blurred the end of his sentence.

“But?”
