Chapter 203: Tpcp 203

Carola walked briskly to Lucerne’s bedroom, wearing only her gown. The servants were secretly instructed that no one should pass through the corridors during this time.

‘I am the one who will give birth to a child with Ramun.’

Carola grinned. If Elisha spent the night at the temple tonight. That meant Lucerne would be left alone in this room.

‘This aphrodisiac purified from Mauritiana flowers. I made it more powerful than a normal aphrodisiac.’

Mauritiana flowers produced an aphrodisiac hallucinogenic effect when subjected to a unique purification method.

The aphrodisiac was contained in a capsule made of glue.

Mauritiana aphrodisiac was used in the secret clubs of nobles for a long time, and when the capsule burst, it emitted a strong scent instantly.

After that, everyone in the immediate area was intoxicated. It was an illegal drug used only at promiscuous nobles’ orgies.

Tonight, Carola was thinking of using these capsules to her advantage. She also sent the same pill to Zain.

Tonight, she was going to break into Lucerne’s bedroom, pretend to be Elisha and drug him

‘If I use this, won’t Lucerne be ravenous? He’ll be a stallion all night!’

Carola’s family had a monopoly on Mauritiana flowers. However, it was strictly forbidden to refine them as an aphrodisiac.

Carola obtained this tablet by request. It was not difficult for her.

‘He’ll mistake me for Elisha and attack me.’

Carola was proud of herself. Her evil scheming was genius. No matter what boy she conceived with within the family, the same mark would appear. So what would be the point in worrying about what man from the same family’s seed she bore?

‘It won’t be difficult to insist that it is Jacob’s child. When a child with Ramun is born, you can pay the fortune teller Muto to correct the prophecy and persuade him. It’s not difficult because he loves money.’

Besides, Carola had long wanted Lucerne. Tonight was the night her long-cherished desire would come true. She was so happy that her steps were as light as a feather. Carola crept into Lucerne’s bedroom. He was lying on the bed.

In the dark bedroom, only one dim lamp was on. A human figure shimmered under the thin cloth on the bed.

Carola pulled her capsule out of her bosom.

“It’s me, Elisha. I’m here. The temple was too boring.”

She imitated Elisha’s voice as she slowly lowered her collar. Her sleek, petite, and voluminous body was revealed. And Carola tightened her hand on her capsule.

The figure, who was lying on the bed, got up.

‘Odd?’

At that moment, she thought,

‘Was Lucerne this small?’

Knock, knock—

Jewel jumped out of bed. In the quiet night, someone knocked on his door. He remembered the dinner at the duke’s house today.

As he returned from eating, someone put a hand on his shoulder. He didn’t check his face, but he was probably one of the people at the dinner table. When he checked his pocket, there was a note in it.

‘Today’s hint is white. Treat me as you please in white clothes.’

Jewel smiled. The word ‘hint’ was used by Jacob or Carola to send him a courtesan.

This meant the color of the dress to be worn on courtesan that day. For example, on days when the hint was red, she would come to him in a red dress, and on days when it was white, a courtesan would come to him wearing a white dress and white underwear.

Jacob never lost a single game. The courtesans pretended to be the wife of a particular family and, or the daughter of a prominent family, and she seduced him with all sorts of means. Then she sneaked into his room and served him.

‘I never thought they would send a woman inside the duke’s castle. After all, the Jacobs are great people! A true friend.’

After going through such things a few times, Jewel found the world funny. He thought that no matter how dignified ladies pretended to be, they were all the same and dark-hearted on the inside. Women were also disgusting. That’s why he considered Ilione a joke.

‘A bitch should know her place. Wearing a military uniform and pretending to be the crown princess. If I become the crown prince and inherit this country, that bitch will not be able to set foot in the capital for the rest of her life.’

Jewel was very excited about tonight’s courtesan.

‘I hope she looks like that girl, Elisha.’

Elisha was a typical beauty from the Old Kingdom, with blonde hair and blue eyes. She was the type that men of high status preferred.

‘If she had debuted as a courtesan, I think she would have been quite popular. She was lucky enough to marry the general.’

As Carola told him, Elisha had been nothing short of a whore before. What a waste.

‘When I become the emperor of this country, I will make sure that Jacob lacks nothing. That’s the meaning of Royal Father’s teaching to be wary of the Cartier family but not to forget their companionship!’

He smiled broadly as he opened the door. Beyond the door stood a woman in a fluttering white dress. She looked at Jewel, smiled at him, then turned and ran away.

The duke’s castle was splendid because it was ancient, but it was also magnificently big.

“Hey. Are you playing hide and seek? Crazy girl. Are you having fun?”

Jewel giggled at her and started chasing the woman. The woman ran soundlessly with her veil on her head like a bride.

Coincidentally, the floor where the guests stayed that day was tranquil.

‘Damn. Where did you disappear to?’

Jewel looked out. The courtesan, dressed in white, was standing outside the window.

‘Okay, let’s do it in the forest, right?’

A mischievous smile crept across Jewel’s lips. He rushed out.

“Prince, where are you going?”

The imperial knights asked. Jewel was solemn.

“I’m going to take a night walk, so no one should look for me!”
