Reversal of Fortune

(Warning: Controversial chapter, but nothing explicit and detailed. I decided to make this scene more for the MC's revenge against her brother and maybe for future plans, since in this story, Linde doesn't have the need to be the MC's spymaster)

After Artys left dinner, he quickly took a cold shower. He couldn't fall for this seductress' schemes. After spending enough time in the bath, he returned to her room, where he began to sketch out plans for the steel plow. It was the next step in his agricultural enterprise.

He worked late into the night as usual. Only after midnight approached was he interrupted from his work by the sound of knocking on his door. Already knowing who it was, he decided to see what her plan was.

He approached the door and opened it, where he saw the godlike figure of Linde in an especially revealing nightgown that shouldn't exist in this period of time. Clearly, this was tailor-made with the purpose of seduction in mind. She had a seductive smile on her face with a tray that held two goblets of wine, which he noticed had a slight scent different from normal wine, imperceptible to ordinary humans. He could already guess her plot. The girl had the 'brilliant' idea of ​​poisoning him the same day she arrived. He, Lord Royce's dearest son. She had to admit that the plan was 'spectacular'.

"Can I come in? I have something to talk to you about."

Artys smiled; he had already guessed at her plan, and decided that she would have her own 'fortune'. So he opened the door and allowed the girl into his room.

"I don't see why not"

After Linde walked into the room, she placed the drinks on the nightstand and sat on the bed, making sure to spread out in a way that showcased her perfectly proportioned body in the best possible light. For a virgin like Artys, a beautiful young seductress like Linde was too much. Artys almost fell for her charms, but soon remembered that she had come to eliminate him and as such, he couldn't give in to temptation.

Afterwards, he sat beside her on the bed, where he made sure to sit in a way that would reveal his plants on the table. Although Linde looked at Artys' charming appearance with an increasing degree of lust, her eyes were quickly drawn to the plants and as such, she quickly got out of bed and walked over to his desk while inquiring about them.

"What is it?"

While Linde took the bait, Artys mixed the drinks so this would-be assassin could taste her own medicine. Since the young woman had brought slightly different glasses. Afterward, he picked up the drink and took a sip, knowing it would have no effect on him. And then he explained the nature of his projects in brief detail.

"Just some simple farm equipment I designed; it's really nothing major."

Upon learning that it was destined for agriculture, the snobbish noblewoman immediately lost interest and returned to her seat; noticing that Artys had already taken a sip, a sinister smile spread across her lips as she sat up and took a sip from her own goblet. Completely unaware that Artys had mixed the drinks.

After she took the first sip, Artys began to prolong the conversation so she could continue consuming the poisoned wine. As such, he immediately asked why she had stopped by his quarters.

"Then why are you here, alone, so late at night? Don't you know it's inappropriate?"

Linde continued to drink from her wine until she had drained the entire glass before answering his question. However, when she was about to answer his question, she got incredibly dizzy. She could feel her body heat rising, and she struggled to sit up in bed. Despite all these changes, she tried to control herself and answer his questions.

"Me just me..."

The young woman quickly began to feel her body becoming sensitive, to the point that the breeze from the windows blowing over her skin increased her arousal. Something was terribly wrong; in her fugue state, she slowly realized that she had somehow consumed the drugged wine she had prepared for Artys.

Realizing what he had done, Linde was furious and tried to get up to reprimand him. However, all she managed to do was fall into Artys' arms, where he looked at her confused. Linde's sensitivity was greatly heightened by the drugged wine, and simply by being touched, she felt her arousal heighten. Her flawless skin had a great deal of flushing as it glistened with sweat. Linde breathed heavily as she looked into Artys' eyes with a longing expression.

Artys swallowed hard at the sudden realization. She didn't try to poison him. At least not in a lethal sense, instead she's conditioned her drink with a powerful aphrodisiac. What exactly did this bitch have in mind for tonight? So he decided to tease the bitch a little and then send her away.

Afterwards, he took off his shirt to tempt her with his physique, and stood in front of her with a devilish grin on his face as he looked at Linde's figure. Realizing that Artys did not continue to take off his clothes to do the act, Linde felt very offended and began to scold him.

"What are you waiting for? Keep going!"

Artys, on the other hand, shook his head as he ran his fingers down her cheek and neck; the moment she did, the girl shivered at the mere touch. The act surprised Artys; he couldn't believe how powerful the drug she consumed was.

"What was Andar* planning, to make you do this?"

Although Linde was drugged and in a state of maximum arousal, she still had a strong will and tried to resist divulging the information. However, after a little more teasing, she started singing like a songbird.

"He wanted me to seduce you and kill you!"

This answer surprised him again. Clearly, this was not a lethal substance; how exactly he ended up in this scenario. As such, he asked more about it.

"So how exactly did you end up as a bitch in heat?"

Linde pursed her lips and began to pout; however, as Artys teased her even more, she quickly publicized her shameful plan.

"The moment I saw you, I knew you were the one!"

Artys' jaw dropped open. Did this girl seriously confess to him? Was this how a confession was supposed to go? What was he, some Hentai protagonist!?! However, he continued to dig for an answer.

"What do you mean by that?"

By this point, Linde was so upset about not releasing her pent-up arousal that she couldn't resist Artys' questions any longer.

"My slave! I have toys, but I've never found a suitable slave! I wanted to drug him and force him to submit to me!"

Artys' head quickly filled with a variety of images as he contemplated his words. It took a moment before he realized what kind of girl she was.

'Serious! She's a hardcore dominatrix... Wait a second... This is a great opportunity for revenge on my brother!'

A wicked grin spread across Artys' face as an evil plot filled his head.

Linde couldn't contain herself any longer and began to whimper as she began to plead with Artys.

"I can't wait any longer; let's do it now!"

Artys shook his head and teased her some more before giving her command.

"To beg!"

The shoe was on the other foot now, and he intended to take advantage of the situation. Hearing the words she had said countless times before to other men, Linde began to frown, but she was in no condition to negotiate. As such, she quickly began to beg.

"Please continue!"

He shook his head once more and wagged his finger before giving further instructions.

"Pledge eternal loyalty to me, call me master, and you will get what you want."

Linde was furious; she would never submit to a man. However, the longer she waited, the more unbearable her situation became. Eventually, she submitted to Artys and voiced the words he wanted to hear.

"Please, I will serve you until death, now continue... Master!"

Artys smiled and nodded as he expressed his agreement with her words.

"That's better."

Before Linde could say more, Artys joined the fray and claimed his prize. The two would do this all night before Linde was finally relieved of the drug's effects. After the dawn light shone on their naked figures, Artys noticed a peculiar sight. His white sheets were stained with blood, which meant only one thing. However, he did not regret it. After all, his brother wouldn't need a wife, in the place he was going to soon.

Linde soon woke up and quickly blushed in embarrassment, she was completely ashamed of herself for her actions the night before, and quickly threw on her nightgown and ran out of Artys' room, where she headed for her own quarters. Artys, on the other hand, was smiling contentedly in his own room.
