Chapter 86

* * *

“You said you wanted to see me?”

Even an innocent and pretty face would wither in the face of trials.

Deborah thought that as she looked at Yuria’s pale and tired face.

The days after the birthday banquet.

As soon as the imperial wedding was announced, Deborah was convinced.

That Yuria would come to visit her.

‘She came at just the right time.’

Because she was just as in need of the girl.

Yuria, who had been silent for a long time, called her with a fading voice.

“… Madam Deborah.”

“I know everything. Why did you come here?”

Deborah gave her a knowing look.

It wasn’t her style to pretend to be oblivious in such a situation that clearly needed a trick.

She had always been at the forefront of her villainy and enjoyed it.

“Take it. You’re here because you need this, right?”

Tak—

Deborah set down a purple crystal bottle which had a round body and a narrow snout.

It was a bottle half the size of her palm. The most powerful antidote in existence.

However, it was a scary thing that would melt every single cell of a person who was resistant to poison.

It was the ‘Breath of Johannes’ that could kill the queen of the swamp at once.

‘Hurry up and bite.’

‘Reach your hand out and grab the murder weapon.’

That innocent and pure girl who lived her whole life like an angel; Deborah was thrilled that she faced a moment of depravity at the same level as herself.

“…….”

Whether she had made a decision or she had resigned, Yuria took the Breath of Johannes with her hand.

Deborah raised the corners of her lips all the way up and smiled cheerfully.

“It’s okay, Lady Yuria.”

On the outside, she looked like an amiable and close friend.

“You don’t have to feel guilty for killing the Queen…?”

“….…”

“She’s a woman who should be killed anyway. How dare she take away the crown prince from the lady!”

But when Deborah heard Yuria’s reply, she felt the back of her hand tingle.

“Madam Deborah, I cannot kill the Queen.”

“?!”

What kind of bullshit was that?

“I told you. I’m not sure if she’s bad enough to die.”

“…Then why did you take the Breath of Johannes?”

Yuria’s face crumpled as if she was about to cry, but then it eventually straightened out. It was terrifying for her to say this.

“Get me some poison, please.”

“!”

“I will make my own play and drive the Queen out of Aktoum.”

‘God, look at this bright woman.’

It would be easy to just kill her, so why would she dare to take the risk?

Deborah thought so, but Yuria’s position was different.

She had such a conscience that she couldn’t kill someone who hadn’t committed a serious crime…

Yet she had the determination to shake off anyone who might harm Rixus.

Even if that method was very dangerous for her.

‘You mean you can’t kill, but you can die?’

Inwardly, Deborah laughed at her.

Yuria was completely different from her, but there was one thing that was the same.

An obsessive mind that wanted to move forward even if it would result in lives burned.

However, while Deborah burned the lives of others, Yuria was sacrificing herself.

“Lady, the ‘Breath of Johannes’ is not universal.”

“….…”

“You must drink the poison and drink it within a certain amount of time for it to be effective, and it will also cause strong pain.”

Deborah looked at her, furrowing her eyebrows.

“Your body is weak, can you stand it…?”

“Deborah.”

The confidence Yuria showed at this moment startled even Deborah.

“I am determined to walk into hell.”

“……”

“If that’s the way for His Highness.”

“……”

Deborah quietly folded her arms and stared at Yuria’s face.

‘Yes, is that right?’

Deborah had a particularly good head for doing bad things.

‘If she really tried to poison the lady of a family as significant as the Mavis family… The Queen would not be able to keep her place.’

The friendship between Aktoum and Spinel would not be over. It would be completely destroyed.

To the point of no return.

‘Because of the symbolism of the Duke of Mavis.’

It was a family with a background at the borders. The act of poisoning the lady of such an important family would be interpreted politically.

In addition, Yuria was so active towards the crown prince to the extent that the whole social world knew.

Thanks to this, some in the social world believed the rumor that the prince had special regard for her.

Even saying, ‘Of course his cold-hearted look towards her is not sincere.’

“The Queen feels that her position as Crown Princess is in jeopardy because of me, and she wants to kill me, the thorn in her eye.”

“…….”

“I will be poisoned at the ‘wedding’ that all nobles are watching.”

“….…”

“Then things will be irreversible.”

The plan wasn’t bad. If only one or two very small holes were supplemented.

“Lady Yuria, on the other hand, the nobles might be suspicious…?”

Yuria asked in surprise.

“What doubts?”

“Think about it. Why would she poison you in front of everyone?”

“….…”

“If she does that, this marriage will be broken.”

“……That.”

“It’s not enough for the Queen to have a motive to kill you.”

Yuria lowered her eyes as if embarrassed.

She didn’t think that far, she just thought she wanted to frame the queen.

How could she have done anything behind the scenes to frame someone. She was the precious lady of the Duke of Mavis.

Deborah looked at the naive Yuria and laughed inwardly once again.

“So, you must make the people think ‘Definitely, there was a reason to kill.’”

“……How……?”

Deborah, in a good mood, opened her peacock-feathered fan and fanned her face.

She had her characteristic exhilarated expression, which only came out when she wanted to control someone’s life.

“Let’s insert a more stimulating reason.”

“…….”

“To make people go crazy.”

“!”

Deborah drew closer to Yuria.

“Listen.”

“….…”

“The Crown Prince realized his feelings for Lady Yuria while preparing for marriage.”

Sadly, very intensely.

“Who the woman he really loves is!”

“….…”

“So, he secretly met the lady with affection. Once the Queen knew that, she must be trembling with insult, jealousy and the desire for revenge.”

“…….”

Yuria felt there was something strange about it, but she decided to keep listening.

“That’s why she did some things, but in the end, to the point it resulted in poisoning, the Crown Prince defended Lady Yuria!”

“……”

“Thus, with his own hands, he’s going to kick out the vicious woman who tried to kill his lover!”

Yuria, who could not listen further, said with an expression of no understanding.

“Madam Deborah, His Highness the Crown Prince can’t do that, can he?”

It was completely nonsensical. Besides, even if she carried out the scheme like that…

“If the Crown Prince denies it, it’s over!”

Deborah squinted, and spoke with a smile, holding back her laughter.

“No, is that true?”

“Yes……?”

Deborah leaned closer to Yuria, who had a dumbfounded face. This was the key from now on.

“Can’t you make him really love you?”

“….…”

“Of course, a little help would be needed. But wouldn’t it be possible with the ‘Heart of Eros’?”

“…Heart of Eros?”

‘Heart of Eros.’

It was a kind of love potion, something that was used secretly by noble families.

It was originally procured by parents who had to marry their daughter to a man who she did not love.

If you add a drop of your own blood to the potion and feed it to the other person, the other person would fall in love.

Therefore, it was often mixed with a drop of the man’s blood and fed to a daughter who refused to marry.

Deborah’s parents were going to marry her to a marquis 40 years older than her.

They had tried to give the drug to their daughter, who violently refused to marry him.

That was how she became acquainted with the potion.

She was miserable at the time, but it was worth going through because it had its uses now, Deborah thought.

From her parents’ anecdotes, Deborah gave a rough description of the ‘Heart of Eros’.

The more Yuria listened, the more perplexed and confused she became.

‘It doesn’t matter if I take poison that harms my body, but isn’t this drug for the Crown Prince?’

“Deborah, how dare I tell the Crown Prince…!”

Deborah quickly clasped her hand.

“Is it all for him?”

“!”

“You love the Crown Prince. He will be unhappy for the rest of his life because of her. Are you going to just leave it alone?”

And she soothed her.

“It would only be one year. There are individual differences, but… all the drug’s effects disappear in one year?”

Yuria’s eyes fluttered in conflict.

“Just think about the purpose. To drive out the Queen.”

“….…”

“And at that point when the poisoning attempt happens, the nobles will try to uncover the truth.”

That was a given. As much as it was an issue, it was not easy to doubt the queen.

“At that time, the Crown Prince must unconditionally push the position of Lady Yuria.”

“…….”

“Then it’ll end easily. And this is just the way it is.”

“Is the ‘Heart of Eros’… a potion that only makes one fall in love?”

Yuria asked while trembling. Deborah reached her hand out and squeezed Yuria’s shoulder.

“It makes him love you…”

Then, she smiled contentedly at the person whose body was as fresh and beautiful as a flower in full bloom.

“It makes him lust.”

“!”

“Have a child of the Crown Prince! And marry him and become the Crown Princess.”

Deborah’s eyes flashed. Like a venomous snake in the dark.

“Make the Crown Prince belong to you forever.”

“!”

And in her palm……

…A very high-quality ‘Puppet Crown Princess’ would fall in it, right?

There was no way she wouldn’t want to set up all of this……!

Deborah smirked mischievously.

Ame: it’s a pity Deborah isn’t in the modern world, she’ll probably write hits like “The World of the Married” or “Penthouse”
