The king wants to be alone with her

"How did this get here?" Eva scratched the nape of her neck, she immediately reached her small glass jar which was on the palace kitchen table.

Luckily it was still early in the morning so the maids were still getting ready for today's work, the kitchen wasn't busy yet.

It was a precious item that contained magic powder that she had to use when she and her lover were about to make love.

Eva had left it in the kitchen, how careless she was. What if someone doesn't know what this item is and uses it?

But the maids mostly knew what this powder was because this item was quite common in the market.

The lid opened slightly, Eva imagined what if someone didn't know and mixed it into a drink because they

thought it was a flavoring?

Someone must have been tormented by being hard all night.

Eva stifled a giggle.

*****

The writing in the letter managed to make a beautiful girl who read it smile.

Ophelia refolded the letter and held it to her chest as she read the handwritten note from Emmy's aunt saying that the remittance had really helped her. Now they can even buy a horse.

Felyn and Verity's needs are also fulfilled perfectly.

Ophelia is very happy. All of this is of course because of the kindness of King Cassius who has given her a salary that is much higher than it should be.

The King. remembering the man made Ophelia's heart flutter especially what happened last night.

After leaving the Cassius' chamber, she could not sleep until morning. The feel of his lips on Ophelia's lips still felt so real.

The girl touched her own lips. So that's how Vampires kiss?

Despite the strange feeling that rose within her and make her shy, for some reason it was addictive.

'what happened to her mind? She can't let her stupid feelings grow!'

The silly feeling that grew the first time she met the vampire King.

At that time the man was so angry that Ophelia had presumptuously carried hia son, even though it was all because of Averio's request as well.

Some days she worked for him, and the king was very cold towards her.

It was common among humans that they should be careful if they worked to a vampire. Because they can easily attract humans and like to take advantage of human weaknesses.

Ophelia couldn't lie she was already captivated by the king.

'Will he take advantage of my weakness?'

But King Cassius was so kind. That fascination grew into something more after last night's events.

they both just kissed last night?

Ophelia patted her own cheek and hid her face, she still felt really embarrassed.

"Stop it, stop it, stop it. I can't like the king. He's a vampire. Vampires hate humans. What's more, His Majesty hates women. Especially a stupid commoner like me. He'll definitely kill me if he finds out that one of his servant dare to likes him."

The girl rolled over on her bed "I should try to act normal"

She was determined.

"Ophelia"

The voice made her jump to her feet, she stared at her open door "Eva? Come in"

"Did you see my glass jar in the kitchen yesterday?"

Oh my gosh.

Slowly, Ophelia nodded.

"Fyooh, luckily I've secured it" Eva breathed a sigh of relief.

But that didn't make Ophelia relieved. 'I'll tell Eva, but what if she asks who I gave the powder to?' "um.....w....what's in it?"

Eva glanced left and right, making sure no one was eavesdropping as if she was about to whisper something very secret "don't tell anyone, it's an aphrodisiac for my boyfriend. I forgot to leave it in the palace kitchen, stupid me"

Ophelia's eyes widen "a.....aphro-"

"It's to arouse men's sexual desire. The lid was opened and the contents were reduced, I think someone who took it measured too much"

Ophelia couldn't speak.

What should be the correct dose? Yesterday she poured two full tablespoons into the king's tea!

The right dose is already bad! And she poured it too much?

"what....the effect?" Ophelia bit her fingernails.

"You've never been?"

"no"

it will make them needy and horny all night" Eva chuckled a little.

"What...the effect will make someone who drinks it want to...kiss?"

So yesterday....

She had already given an aphrodisiac to the king herself?

Eva nodded confidently "i'm sure kissing is included"

Ophelia remembered Cassius' tormented face when he looked like he was in pain. It must be the effect of the potion too!

She knew little what would happen when women and men were in such circumstances.

Suddenly her legs trembled.

It was a stroke of luck that she was able to get out of Cassius' room all night.

Vampires have an overabundance of desires. And their strength is much higher than humans.

"ah you're so pale" Eva mumbled "you better not have to work today if you're sick"

Ophelia shook her head.

She wasn't pale from sick.

"I'm going out first, I'll try to bring you some medicine later"

*****

"You and the others just wait here" Cassius ordered his chamberlain, Louis, an old Vampire with gray hair and round glasses.

"What about the guards, Your majesty?" Louis asked.

"they're stay here too"

"But Your Majesty-"

"I want to spend time with my son"

No one else dared to argue.

The king decided to take the little prince on a picnic today. Private picnic only between father and son. What confused Louis was that Cassius had brought the little nanny with him.

Ophelia walked awkwardly beside Cassius who was carrying Averio in his arms.

As Louis and the four guards waited by the carriage, they walked towards the place where they were going to have a picnic.

"Daddy, put me down!" The boy is so enthusiastic.

Cassius put his son on the grass and Averio immediately ran with joy.

Ophelia was about to chase the prince but Cassius immediately grabbed her arm "let him"

He watched his son eagerly chasing the dragonfly.

"But-" the little prince jumps and runs excitedly, she was worried that the boy would fall.

"He's a hyperactive kid. You'll get tired of chasing him." Cassius didn't let go of her hand, instead he held her tiny palms tighter.

the man grumbled inwardly 'don't chase my son, I want to be alone with you as well'
