Chapter 207: Tpcp 207
The Predator’s Contract Partner
Carola slowly opened her eyes. She felt like she had just woken up from a very deep slumber.
âWhere is this? Where am I again?â
A strange scent hit the tip of her nose. This incense was originally an aphrodisiac prepared by Carola.
âRight, I inhaled the aphrodisiac.â
Then, the hard body of a man rubbed against Carolaâs body. It was dark all around. Carola let out a cry of joy inside.
âWell, Lucerne. Itâs you, and me. Carola came to you tonightâ¦â¦.â
Carola whispered. She was still out of her mind. And she pounced on her opponent. Unfortunately, both were fully clothed. Carola struggled, but only her own clothes were pulled off.
âLucerne! Carola wants you. Youâve known Carolaâs heart for a long time, havenât you? Youâre the same as me, arenât you?â
Carola giggled and shouted.
âCarolaâs heart has been shaking since the first day I saw you. She married Jacob because he was the legitimate son. Mmm, Lucerne⦠⦠.â
However, the man who was entangled with Carola was not Lucerne. Likewise, Prince Jewel was also high and unable to discern reality.
When a woman in white clung to him and intertwined her body with his, Jewel didnât even look at her face and clutched her tightly. Even in his hazy dreams, Jewel thought that this courtesan was soft and fragrant, like a real lady, and that his hands were full.
âYou-you lowlife. It is an honor to serve and be with me today.â
Jewel half-understood Carolaâs words and hit back. The two were madly entangled. But something was strange. Something else was touching each otherâs bodies and felt like cold walls and the ground.
They seem to be blocked by something. They couldnât touch each otherâs bodies completely. It was because they werenât sane. They were rubbing against the cold coffin, pushing their cheeks against the walls. But even from a distance, they could do it enough.
Rumble. Then, the coffin lid, half covering their bodies, was removed. A bright light enveloped them. People with lamps stood in a circle above their heads.
âCarola, what did you just say?â
Jacob, with a white face, asked Carola. If heâs not misunderstoodâ¦.
Carola must have. Obviously. Just now.
Called Lucerne.
âPrince Jewel?â
Ilione also muttered in disbelief.
âDrop it!â
âYou are crazy. Both of you are insane.â
People didnât say anything for a while.
The only one who came to his senses was Gail. Even though people were watching, the two couldnât come to their senses and tried to attack like madmen.
âThis bitchâthis is my bitch today!â
âLucerne! Ah, you!â
Not only that, they both shouted. The servants who had come to watch hastily dropped the two. Fortunately, both of them were clothed.
âYepnen. Donât look!â
Ilione hurriedly covered her brotherâs eyes. Yepnen stood there blankly, shocked, then he said,
âBig Sister. I think Brother Jewel and Carola like each other⦠⦠.â
The boy murmured in confusion, his words trailing off.
âBut what can we do? Carola already has a husband. It would be sad if Royal Father knew about this⦠⦠.â [t1v: OMG PROTECT YEPNEN]
âYepnen, you leave this place. Come on, take Yepnen!â
ordered Ilione.
âYepnen?â
However, the prince was not the only one who witnessed this shocking scene. The empress stood at the entrance with a trembling expression.
âYour Majesty, Empress!â
her people called her. At that point, she stumbled. Ilione ran to her empress.
But Jewel was still talking nonsense.
âI am so glad you came in white for me. Iâm going to give you a couple of tips⦠⦠.â
Ilione was stunned. At that moment, she met Elishaâs eyes among the crowd. Her eyes were very calm. Illioneâs pupils grew, and her stare became strange.
âDonât tell me Lucerne and Elisha⦠⦠?â
This was unusual. A scandal between the duchyâs first granddaughter-in-law and the Imperial familyâs eldest son. Their obviously bizarre condition⦠⦠.
âItâs quite possible that this will ruin their lives.â
Ilione had a hunch. This was her once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to rid herself of her enemies.
Chills ran down her Ilioneâs spine. She forced herself to resist a warlike smile forming on her lips. Ilione screamed loudly, supporting the empress.
âJewel, you madman. How dare you play with fire with the dukeâs granddaughter-in-law! What kind of disgrace is this! What excuse do you have for the duke. You havenât even had a coming-of-age ceremony yet!â
The cry ignited peopleâs doubts.
People were buzzing and shouting. Then Elisha gave a short scream. She was standing near the coffin.
