Episode 99
âWho? Whoâs that bastard is?â
No one opened their mouths to Cassiusâs question.
As the atmosphere subsided, Cassius rolled his eyes and opened his mouth.
âNo, itâs not because I would do something. Iâm just asking.â
For someone who asks, your eyes are so scary.
Everyone seemed to have similar thoughts as I did, so we avoided Cassiusâs eyes.
âYeah, Yerine is so popular, thatâs understandable.â
Do you usually say that itâs possible while biting your teeth?
âSo what kind of jerk is he?â
Cassius was obviously smiling brightly, but the sight of it chilled me.
âI donât know because I havenât seen his face. I donât even know his name.â
Cassius tilted his head at my words and Erica added a word.
âHe gave Yerine this and ran away.â
âIs that so?â
Then Cassius stared at the chocolate.
Itâs like chocolate has become his rival.
It seemed like he would calm down only if I said I didnât know if he gave it to me to confess or just to cheer on me.
âHey, Cassius, but maybe he didnât give this for confessââ
I cleared my voice and explained, but I had no choice but to stop talking.
Cassius snatched a handful of chocolate at a faster speed than lightning and straightened it into his mouth.
Rachel, who had eye contact with him, cried out in surprise.
âPrince?â
Everyone opened their mouths when they saw the sight.
âAre you crazy?â
I stood up and took the chocolate from Cassiusâs hand and said that. And by using air magic, the chocolate was sent out of Cassiusâ reach.
Cassius, who grabbed my arm, fixed his shining golden eyes on me still.
âYou donât know whatâs inside. So Iâll try it first.â
âOh, my God, but who eats so much at once?â
âIf thereâs a problem, Iâll eat it and get rid of it.â
âCassius!â
The rest of the chocolate was moved out of his reach, but the chocolate that had already been eaten was unavoidable.
Cassius chewed the chocolate and swallowed it in a frightening manner that could chew even a stone.
âHonestly, itâs not because thereâs something weird in there, itâs because you just want to get rid of it, right?â
I couldnât even speak because I was dumbfounded.
âWhat if something goes wrong, Cassius!â
âIâm fine. Even if I eat something weird, I get better faster than others.â
I wrapped my head looking at Cassius who spoke confidently.
âIâm going crazy.â
No matter how fast he heals himself, recklessly eats food that he doesnât even know whatâs in it is just too much.
It was ridiculous to do such a stupid thing for no other reason but jealousy.
âYerine, if you felt its waste for the chocolate, Iâll prepare something much better.â
âCassius, donât talk nonsense. Listen to me. I didnât know what was inside, so I asked Rayl to run a test on it. You canât eat it like that!â
Cassius paused at the words and opened his eyes round.
âOh, did you?â
âYeah! Right now, Raylâs gone to get the analyzer and reagent. I didnât even have to eat chocolate in the first place. What if something really goes wrong?â
âOh, oh, Yerine, you know.â
As he looked like that, I narrowed my eyes and asked.
âWhy, is there something seriousâ¦?â
âNo, Iâm, Iâm sorry. I didnât call you because of that.â
I asked because I was surprised by what Rayl said with a very sorry face.
âHuh? Then what for?â
âThatâs why I called you. The thing youâre holding in your hand.â
Rayl said, pointing his chin at the box of chocolates.
âItâs hard to talk in front of the kids, so Iâm calling you separately.â
âWhat, no way, thereâs really something in it?â
Rayl nodded and answered me.
âUh. Itâs not poison, but itâs a pretty mischievous prank.â
âPrank?â
So what happens to Cassius?
âSo what happens to Cassius? He ate a handful of that chocolate.â
âAhâ¦â¦a handful must have flowed in.â
Rayl let out a sigh.
I grabbed onto his shoulder and spoke urgently.
âRayl, donât drag it. Tell me quickly. Whatâs in it? You can make an antidote, right?â
âCome on, relax, Yerine, as I said before, itâs not a big harm to the body.â
Rayl raised both hands and said reassuringly to me.
âTo put it simply, there was a love potion in there.â
âWhat?â
âI think he poured the undiluted solution in there. If it worked, there would have been at least a month of abnormalities.â
I couldnât keep my mouth shut at Raylâs words.
âThen the guy who gave me the chocolateâ¦.â
âYes, he tried to make you like him.â
âSo what happens to Cassius? Donât you think we need to get him an antidote?â
But Rayls face looked quite serene.
âNo, it doesnât seem necessary. Love potion usually works as soon as you take it.â
Rayl turned his head and talked, looking at the window.
âFace turns red, the mouth is watering, and you shout out the name of the person who put it in. If the effects of the medicine later fall, youâll regret it by kicking the blanket.â
âBut Cassiusâ¦â¦â¦.â
âYes, I donât think it worked.â
âThatâs a relief, butâ¦â¦â
âWell, anyway, so I think youâd better get rid of this chocolate quietly. Thatâs what I was going to say.â
âWow, thatâs really shocking.â
I touched my forehead with my hand and swept my hair away.
But Rayl, who was looking at me quietly, opened his mouth again in a low voice.
âBut do you know some cases where the love potion doesnât work?â
âHuh?â
His emerald eyes were fixed on me.
âThereâs only one.â
Raylâs thin lips moved.
âWhen you already have someone you love with all your might.â
Cassiusâs face, which had not changed even after eating chocolate, passed by.
I remembered the beautiful golden eyes that were fixed on me.
